The John Castles-trained Chirac continued on his winning way with another impressive performance at the harness racing meeting at Launceston on Sunday.
Chirac has strung three wins together to take his career tally to eight wins that has helped rocket his stake earnings to almost $60,000.
The gelding's part-owner Michael Castles (trainer's brother) said Chirac had always shown potential but they had to be patient.
"He's always been consistent but now he's putting a few wins together and not as many seconds and thirds as was the case early on," Castles said.
"There's not much coming up for him in the immediate future but he is sure to go around somewhere in his class."
"Later in the year he is going to have to go from C2 fronts to much deeper in the classes but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it," he said.
Chirac has been driven by Wade Rattray three times for two wins and a second, confirming the driver is starting to make a name for himself.
