Canberra trainer Danielle Seib is set to showcase her promising three-year-old gelding Howie Do It at the Albury meeting. A son of 2019 Everest winner Yes Yes Yes, Howie Do It made a strong debut with a dominant win at Leeton earlier in the season. After a successful trial at Canberra, he is now preparing for his next race, a $30,000 Class 2 handicap over 1000m in Albury, where he will face stiff competition from Narcissist, a locally trained five-year-old who has shown consistent form.
Howie Do It’s performance at Albury could set the stage for bigger targets. If he succeeds, Seib is considering aiming him for either the Black Opal Stakes in Canberra on March 8 or a Benchmark 66 handicap at Goulburn or Albury’s feature city handicap on March 19. However, weather conditions leading up to the race could impact his performance, as the track may transition from Good to Soft.
The Albury meeting is part of a broader racing calendar buildup, with the Albury Gold Cup Carnival just four weeks away. This event is a key date for trainers and owners on both sides of the border, drawing top horses and competitors. Howie Do It’s potential success could elevate his status in the racing community, making him a standout performer to watch.
Howie Do It’s journey highlights the excitement surrounding young, talented horses in Australian horse racing. His performance at Albury not only determines his immediate future but also sets the tone for his participation in more significant races
