    • i had noticed imperial command had turned the corner. in the first few months  he went to aussie he was a flop and seemed to have the same issues he had here,just before he left,,whatever they were.  then he didn't race for 6 months.Since he resumed he has done a good job. I assume the good spell or some treatment identified some issue and  has helped sort him out. it haven't been watching much aussie racing lately although i did see swayzee beat don hugo a couple of weeks ago. swayzee i would have thought would have been stuffed by now,but the way he won against don hugo,he seemed back to his best. He simply wore don hugo into the ground then after the finsih they showed him running strong down the back staright as if he could easily do another round at the same speed,ears flicking as if to say,that was easy enough. Meanwhile the rest of the field had hit the finish and virtually pulled up straight after, as they all looked stuffed. from my observations over the years,when horses are given perfromance enhancers ,it will always cacth up to them sooner rather than later,they mostly just get sick or disappear,yet swayzees still going. Maybe hes just one out of the box. 
    • By Jordyn Bublitz  With four drives at the five race meeting, Brooke Wilkins looks to have some genuine each way chances at Manawatu today. After having nine wins across the Tasman, 2025 was Wilkins’ first driving competitively in this country and despite only taking part in the latter half of the season she had seven wins from 42 race-day drives, with a highly respectable UDR of .2910.  That momentum has carried into the new season.  Wilkins wasted little time opening her account for the year, recording a winner at last week’s Tauherenikau meeting.  One of her leading hopes today comes early in Race 2, the Congrats Wilson House Leading Junior Driver Mobile Pace (4.51pm). She partners the Stephen Doody-trained gelding Jahi, who’s drawn ideally in barrier two. “He’s actually one of my better chances,” she said. “With him being back to a smaller field and the likely leader (The Night Fox) drawn to our inside, we should be able to jump straight into the trail. He should get the perfect run and have every chance.” In Race 3, Join The Turbos Syndicate Mobile Pace, Wilkins takes the reins of Get Set Party, a lightly-raced mare resuming for trainer Scott Dickson. While still relatively inexperienced, the mare appeals as a competitive type in what shapes as an even contest. “She’s probably still just working out her ringcraft, but the fields are all quite even,” Wilkins said. “Scotty does a great job with his horses, so if she finds the right run I’m sure she’ll be thereabouts.” Race 4 (5.55pm) presents what Wilkins rates as her best chance of the day, driving Two Jules, now trained by Chris Garlick.  The mare steps back from Alexandra Park company to Palmerston North and has drawn well — factors Wilkins feels have been overlooked by the market. “I think she’s way over the odds,” she said. “Coming from Alexandra Park to Palmy is a massive drop back and she’s got a good draw. She can do a couple of things wrong, but if we get things right she should be right with them.” Wilkins rounds out her commitments in Race 5 aboard the ever-reliable Bell Fire for trainer Chris Webber. “He’s one of those tools-of-the-trade kind of horses,” she said. “I know Chris just loves to be there.” View the full article
