Even though I might have problems enunciating her name, you have to like the implications of www.dictionary.com’s description of ‘Reverberates’.

v. To have a prolonged or continuing effect.

Reverberates, it would seem, is a very promising filly raced by Simon O’Donnell and Terry Henderson (of Bauer fame), hailing from the stable of David ‘Butch’ Bourne.

Starting for the first time at Kyneton on Tuesday (2 December), the filly was way off the pace turning for home, yet produced a withering burst to fail by a head over the 1100m journey.

Let’s put it this way, the run had a prolonged and continuing effect on some of those who watched on TV and she is not likely to be sent out a $26 pop at her next start.

Her sire, Clangalang, is underrated and should come into his own now that his oldest progeny have turned three. With only 13 runners to date, including winners Bavarian Belle and Hemony, no less than 10 of them have brought home a cheque.
