Didnt Even Kiss Me brought up a hat-trick of wins in December 2016 but hadn’t won since until scoring on Saturday.

Settling just off the speed, Didnt Even Kiss Me enjoyed the fast tempo before finding clear running.

She went on to defeat Russell Green’s Tableaux by 2½ lengths.

Wagga trainer Scott Spackman was thrilled she found her way back to the winners list after losing her way.

“It was very impressive,” Spackman said.

Spackman blames himself for the mare’s poor run of form.

After she won three on the trot Spackman lined up her in a Group Two fillies race before running in the Listed Canberra Guineas and then the Southern Districts Country Championships Qualifier.

“We asked a fair bit of her after she won the three straight,” he admitted.

“She was just as flat as a tack and I suppose we broke her.

“We had to go back to the drawing board and we’ve had a couple of campaigns now to try and get her head right again.”

While far from disgraced at both Caulfield and Canberra, she was well beaten at Albury and wasn’t able to reproduce her best form last time in.

Spackman went to Tumbarumba looking for a nice race and early indications is that is has done the trick.

“The idea to go to Tumba was to try to give her a kill and it worked,” he said.

“She thinks she’s the queen of the stable again.”

Believing the win will give her some much needed confidence, Spackman is now looking towards the Tumut Cup in a fortnight before another tilt at the Country Championships

Spackman also made it back-to-back wins in the Tumbarumba Cup after Tyson’s Tiger won it by protest last year.

It was also a memorable first for apprentice jockey Wendy Peel.

Peel had only had 10 rides before making the trip west but came home with her first winner.

Spackman was impressed with her performance.

“She done an incredible job and just rode her how we said we were going to ride her,” he said.

“It was perfect.

“A 10 out of 10 ride.”

Bryan Murphy was set to take the ride before electing to go town with Danetrille.

However after getting a good recommendation from Peter Robl, Spackman didn’t hesitate to put on the former jockey’s apprentice.

“When I rang Peter about her he said ‘she could ride but needs the experience’,” he said.

“She has to come out to these sort of meetings to get some experience and get on horses who will travel for her.”
