The unbeaten mare Tasiteasaí is an exciting prospect.

There'll be a number of excited syndicate members in Offaly this Saturday afternoon. 

Unbeaten mare Tasiteasaí is being thrown in the deep end at Cheltenham in the Alan Swinbank Mares' Standard Open NH Flat Race, worth a cool £20,000.

More than half of that will go to the winner.

The 5-year-old is leased by Whitegrass Racing Syndicate, which a significant number of members from Ferbane, hence why you'll see her carrying the green and white silks. 

It's one of five entries in the race for Willie Mullins. 

Her solitary run to date came in Tramore back in August. She ran out a cosy winner by 3 lengths on that occasion and has earned her shot in Listed company. 

It's not a given that she will take her chance, she also has an entry in a Grade 2 Mares Bumper at the Dublin racing festival at Leopardstown on Sunday week.

Definitely a developing story to keep an eye on in the coming days.

Whitegrass Racing also lease a four other young horses, one called Walk On The Moone and three more four-year-olds who are currently in pre-training and expected to hit the track in the summer. 

They also own a seven-year-old gelding called Dads Lad, who has won twice (two from her last three) over hurdles.
