Ben Hope’s<br />
judgement<br />
pays off<br />
• By Joshua Smith<br />
CANTERBURY driver Ben Hope<br />
convinced his parents, Greg and<br />
Nina Hope, to take Homebush<br />
Lad to Oamaru on Sunday and<br />
his judgement paid off.<br />
The seven-year-old gelding was<br />
the only representative from the<br />
stable to attend the meeting and<br />
he gave them the perfect result<br />
when he won the Whitestone<br />
Livestock Ltd Waimate Cup.<br />
“We were rapt with him,” Nina<br />
Hope said.<br />
“There were a few tired ones<br />
around him. He has been running<br />
in all of those cup races so his fitness<br />
is right up there.”<br />
Hope was pleased with Homebush<br />
Lad heading into the race<br />
and said she was delighted he was<br />
finally able to get a cup win for his<br />
connections.<br />
“He has been pretty unlucky in<br />
his last few starts to be running<br />
into some nice horses, so it was<br />
really nice to see him get that<br />
win,” she said.<br />
Hope said she is unsure of what<br />
the future holds for Homebush<br />
Lad and may leave that planning<br />
up to her son.<br />
“It gets pretty tough now with<br />
the points system,” she said.<br />

Team teal’s $44k for cancer research<br />
FEMALE HARNESS racing<br />
drivers have raised $44,000 for<br />
ovarian cancer – all by winning<br />
in teal colours.<br />
For six weeks the country’s<br />
female drivers, known as team<br />
teal, were involved in the campaign<br />
which raises awareness<br />
of ovarian cancer and funds for<br />
research.<br />
When it finished at a recent<br />
meeting at Reefton there had<br />
been 65 wins, with Harness<br />
Racing New Zealand and Woodlands<br />
Stud committing $100 for<br />
each win, with various clubs and<br />
individuals also making huge<br />
contributions.<br />
West Melton-based Samantha<br />
Ottley was the most successful<br />
team teal driver with 16 wins<br />
from February 1 to <strong>March</strong> 14.<br />
Collectors were at many race<br />
meetings too with race-goers<br />
and licence-holders very generous<br />
in their support of the<br />
project.<br />
Teal Pants is a transtasman<br />
initiative set up by Australian<br />
Duncan McPherson after his<br />
wife died from ovarian cancer.<br />
This year was the fourth Teal<br />
Pants campaign in New Zealand<br />
s country and all money raised<br />
here is spent here as well.<br />
This year’s total of $44,000<br />
is down slightly on last year<br />
($50,000) but is still being hailed<br />
as a success considering the<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
restraints brought about by the<br />
Covid-19 pandemic. The campaign<br />
has succeeded in bringing<br />
the issue of ovarian cancer into<br />
the open and this year awareness<br />
was very much the focus of the<br />
campaign.<br />
WomenCan, which partners<br />
with HRNZ during the Teal<br />
Pants campaign, said the New<br />
Zealand funds have contributed<br />
to the first phase of a new innovative<br />
screening programme<br />
called NOVEL.<br />
“NOVEL will enable tumour<br />
profiling for New Zealand<br />
WINNER: Team<br />
teal’s Samantha<br />

16 wins in the<br />
fundraiser for<br />

women with high grade serous<br />
ovarian cancer, which will allow<br />
them rapid access to participate<br />
in specific international clinical<br />
trials,” gynaecological oncologist<br />
Associate Professor Bryony<br />
Simcock said.<br />
This year 300 women will be<br />
diagnosed with ovarian cancer<br />
where the chance of surviving<br />
beyond the five year cancer<br />
benchmark is 39 per cent. NOV-<br />
EL has the potential to benefit<br />
up to 90 per cent of women with<br />
ovarian cancer in the future.<br />
Said WomenCan head of fundraising<br />
and development Karen<br />
Livingstone: “Nearly every improvement<br />
in cancer treatment<br />
has resulted from a clinical trial.<br />
Women needs access to the latest<br />
innovative research in the hope<br />
it will improve their outcomes.<br />
When a woman is diagnosed<br />
with ovarian cancer she feels<br />
overwhelmed and alone.<br />
“The support shown by the<br />
Harness Racing New Zealand<br />
community to fund more<br />
research and resources for these<br />
women is so appreciated and<br />
valued.”<br />
