The Taylors have had plenty of fun over the past five years with the veteran of 116 starts, which has now won six races and 35 minor placings.
Moyreisk owned and trained six-year-old gelding Namoscar set a new track record with his 13-metre victory in a $7000 trot at last week’s Horsham meeting.
The Ainsworth family’s in-form squaregaiter slashed 1.9 seconds off the 2200-metre mobile start for trotters, set by Speedy Atom back in March 2008, with a career-best performance.
Driver Ashley Ainsworth settled Namoscar towards the rear of the field from his extreme outside second line draw and was content to follow the solid tempo set by David Murphy with Michaelangelo at the head of affairs.
Still a long way back with 400 metres to go, Namoscar quickly worked forward four, then five wide to have the race in its keeping half-way down the home stretch.
With Ainsworth sitting quietly, Namoscar raced away to score by 13 metres in a rate of 2:01.6 and record his fifth win from 27 starts.
On the strength of that performance Namoscar should give owner Katrina and co-trainers Barry and Ashley plenty more to look forward to.
Charlton trainer Mark Boyle has done a mighty job to successfully manage the return to racing of six-year-old gelding Bruised Ego, winner of The Storm Inside @ Alabar Pace at Horsham, with Greg Sugars in the sulky.
It was the second start since Bruised Ego’s comeback after an injury-enforced absence of more than two-and-a-half years.
After settling midfield from the second line draw, Sugars eased Bruised Ego three wide at the 600-metre mark, then four wide turning for home and still under a tight hold had them covered at the top of the straight.
Raced by the Major Miracle Syndicate, Bruised Ego has now won six races from only 16 starts and is the type that could easily go on to perform in stronger company.
