November 22nd, 2021
Raced over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Greyville on the polytrack. Anthony Delpech post-race comment: She should have run a place as she could not get a run up the straight. She was forced to check and had to switch out for a run.

The 6yo mare had to overcome a wide draw of ten over 1200m on the Hollywoodbets Greyville polytrack this afternoon. She was settled in a mid-field position but the way the track was running, it was always going to be hard to make up ground in the straight. She always gives of her best and hopefully she can crack a good barrier position in her next start. See the replay here.

She won a good race at Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse this afternoon. She was settled in a mid-field position and ran on powerfully to notch up her third career victory. She is trained by Hollywoodbets-sponsored Gary Rich and ridden to victory by apprentice Thabiso Gumede. Well done to the breeders Hemel ‘n Aarde Stud. See the replay here.
July 19th, 2021
She finished a creditable second over 1200m on the polytrack at Hollywoodbets Greyville today. She moved up well, but found one too good on the day. There is definitely another win in her. See the replay here.
April 5th, 2021
She ran another creditable race this afternoon finishing fourth over a mile on the turf. A sedate gallop was set up front which didn’t help her chances. She is in a good space and should go well next time. See the replay here.
March 15th, 2021
Another solid performance by this filly, when stepping up to the 1400m today. Stuart Randolph commented that she will be a big runner next time out over the mile. See the replay of her run here.
February 24th, 2021
Not a bad performance by this filly today. She ran on strongly in the closing stages but perhaps got going a fraction too late. On the jockeys advice, she will probably be a big contender over more ground next time. See the replay here.
October 12th, 2020
Solid effort by this filly when stepping up to the 1400m today, in Race 5 at Hollywoodbets Greyville. We expected a big run from her, if overcoming the draw, and credit goes to Warren Kennedy for giving her every chance. Unfortunately she found one better on the day, but she is currently well handicapped and should win soon. See the replay here.

A winner in her last start under Jarred Samuel (pictured), she’ll be a nice handicapper to follow in her division this season. A 4-year old daughter of Oratorio, out of the Black Minnaloushe mare Ginger Cat, she is pictured at Ashburton this morning.
March 18th, 2020
Not Now Pussycat wins the 6th race at Hollywoodbets Greyville this afternoon, under a nicely timed ride by Jarred Lee Samuel. The daughter of Oratorio was having her 19th career outing, her 2nd for the Hollywood Syndicate.
