Aiden De Campo
Four-year-old Maddy White has resumed after a spell in fine style for Capel trainer Andrew de Campo and his son Aiden is quietly confident that she will be able to extend her winning sequence to five when she contests the 2100m Premier Motors Suzuki Mares Pace at Bunbury tonight.
Aiden de Campo is happy with Maddy White’s draw at No. 3 on the front line and said he would be making every effort to burst to an early lead and then dictating the terms of the race.
“We’ll be coming out hard and I’ll have a good crack at getting to the front,” de Campo said. “Robyns C C is a good mare who has drawn the No. 1 barrier. But she is first-up and, with the sprint lane in use at Bunbury, they might want to hand up to us. Hopefully, we will get to the front. But Maddy White is not just a frontrunner. She does her best work in front, but she can also come from behind.
“She has done well since her most recent start. She’s quite a big filly and doesn’t need a lot of work to keep fit. She’s still pretty fresh and that’s good.”
Maddy White has had six starts in her current campaign for two minor placings followed by four wins in a row, in which she made most of the running.
Maddy White is bred to be a good winner. Her maternal granddam Magic Maddy Lombo is the dam of outstanding New South Wales pacer Suave Stuey Lombo, who has earned $566,512 from 33 wins and 21 placings from 98 starts. Maddy White is also related to former star pacer Lombo Pocket Watch (83 starts for 45 wins, 17 placings and $1,522,638).
