Young colt Showmethetanlines is set to make his mark in the Sunshine State, capturing attention even before his Australian debut. The Kiwi-bred pacer, unbeaten in his two starts, is gearing up for the prestigious Queensland Constellations at Albion Park, where he will compete in The Protostar, a slot race event offering a substantial prize purse of $500,000.
Secured by the GSM Racing slot, owned by Greg Mitchell and his wife Sharon, Showmethetanlines has impressed with his speed and strength, qualities vital for a race of this caliber. Trainer Adam Kelly and owner Ian Barker have shown great anticipation for the upcoming event, highlighting the colt’s potential in the challenging race.
After a victorious debut in Addington, Showmethetanlines transitioned to the Victorian stable, where he dominated the $50,000 Group 3 Sapling Stakes at Menangle. Despite his limited racing exposure, the colt has demonstrated exceptional talent, with top reinswoman Kate Gath commending his impressive performance and predicting a promising future as a three-year-old.
Kelly and Barker’s early interest in Showmethetanlines before his racing career in New Zealand has paid off, with the colt exceeding expectations on the track. The team’s strategic purchase and subsequent success have positioned them well for The Protostar, underscoring the importance of foresight and planning in the competitive harness racing industry.
The upcoming Group 3 Wayne Wilson Memorial Paleface Adios Classic will serve as a stepping stone for Showmethetanlines before his much-anticipated appearance at The Protostar. With a month of rest following his Sydney triumph, the colt is gearing up for trials and races in preparation for the Queensland event, showcasing his readiness for the challenge ahead.
The second edition of The Protostar, scheduled for July 12, 2025, promises an exciting showdown among top contenders, with Showmethetanlines poised to make a significant impact. As the harness racing community eagerly awaits the event, the colt’s journey to the Sunshine State symbolizes the thrill and anticipation that define the sport’s competitive spirit.
