MAYBE RAMA continued to show why he could have been one of the best pacers to come out of Tasmania with another impressive performance at Tattersall’s Park in Hobart last Sunday night.
Had it not been for tendon injuries the gelded son of Panorama may have even achieved great things like those achieved by Beautide in the past two years.
While the now 10-year-old still has to be well managed to ensure he stays sound the gelding loves his racing and this most recent effort is testament to his ability.
Maybe Rama led a handy field in the Lachlan Hotel Pace for C4-C6 performers over 2090 metres and he gave nothing else a chance as he powered home to score by over two metres from Ciskei with Vande Velde third but almost six metres astern.
The gelding’s trainer-driver Sam Rawnsley was ecstatic after the race, declaring Maybe Rama a “Marvel”.
Maybe Rama clocked a mile rate of 1.58 and ran home his last half (800m) in 58.1 which would have made him very competitive in free-for-all company.
