New Plymouth rider Paul Taylor said not too much should be read into his choice of mount in the $12,000 Cavallo Agistment Centre Handicap (1400m) at the Otaki-Maori Racing Club meeting today.
Taylor will ride College Union in preference to Torino, a mare he rode to victory over 1200m at Otaki last Saturday and who could possibly have the edge today.
"She missed a bit of work recently so I might have pulled the wrong rein this time but I think in the long run she's (College Union) the better horse," Taylor said.
Taylor was impressed with Torino's effort last week but conceded the race was run to suit, with a hectic pace up front with the six-year-old being able to finish over the top of them.
Michael Walker has snapped up the ride on Torino.
The Noel Eales-trained Chantilly Rose is again a rival and rated by in-form rider Lisa Mumby as her best ride of the day.
