TALENTED sprinter-miler The Producer scored one of his best wins at Tattersall’s Park in Hobart on Sunday.
The Producer (Gonski-Star Lane) showed great courage to fight back after being clearly headed in the home straight to score a narrow victory over Geegees Velvet and Payteevee in the Don Bosco Bicentenary Open Handicap over 1600 metres.
The John Blacker-trained six-year-old has been a consistent performer with this latest win his seventh from 37 starts but he also has amassed a dozen minor placings for career stake earnings of $100,000.
Blacker was delighted with the win and admitted the horse performs best on the Hobart circuit.
The Producer is owned and raced by his trainer and his daughter Laura Blacker.
