Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards’ golden season with their two-year-olds continued at New Plymouth on Thursday.

The Matamata trainers produced Ristretto, who was unbeaten in two trials ahead of her debut, to win the Comcat Maiden (1200m) in the hands of Shafiq Rusof.

The Makfi filly was quickly into stride to lead and she kicked gamely in the straight to hold the challenge of Ole Ole at bay.
