2022 Narrabri Cup: Dean Chapple's two-pronged assault on $15,000 final

The Narrabri club will be hosting their Carnival of Cups meeting, with Chapple having two runners engaged in the final after taking out both heats at the club's Easter Monday meeting.

"I have been a runner-up a couple of times in the Santos Cup but not a winner," he said. "I will be chasing a win for sure."

Chapple secured his two berths in the final after stable runners Nor Westa won the first heat followed by Asterism in the second heat.

Nor Westa, who commenced from the one barrier, raced in behind leader Zoemagic (Jemma Coney), who had acquired the lead after commencing from the five barrier.

Chapple moved Nor Westa off the marker pegs in the back straight on the final occasion, with the six-year-old Western Terror mare responding well. Nor Westa recorded a 11.6m win over I'm Compliant (Jake Hughes).

"This mare has been going good and got the perfect run," Chapple said.

Asterism then produced a 1.6m win over Rocktagonal (Brad Elder). "He really raced well and dug deep today," Chapple said of the five-year-old gelding.

"My confidence going into the race depended on what the one horse (Everything Happens) did. If he held the lead, which obviously it did, that brought us right into the race."
