Kris Lees will be represented in A$775,000 The Archer for the third year in succession and he is hoping to use that experience to advantage. Lees will start Australian Bloodstock gelding Ucalledit (NZ) (Zacinto) in the 1300m slot race at Rockhampton on Sunday when he is banking on the addition of blinkers helping the backmarker take up a more prominent position in the run. The first two editions of the race have been won by horses racing close to the speed, Emerald Kingdom (Bryannbo’s Gift) in 2022 and Alpine Edge (High Chaparral) 12 months ago, a statistic Lees has held back of mind. “It’s a little tricky. In a perfect world you’ve got a horse that races on speed because despite the big run in, they don’t make a lot of ground,” Lees said. “That’s a little contradictory with Ucalledit because he gets back off the speed, but that’s why I’ve put blinkers on. We’re hoping to nullify that.” Lees had two runners in the corresponding race last year, Animate (Animal Kingdom) (sixth) and Gem Song (Your Song) (ninth), while 12 months earlier Gem Song finished fifth and Ventura Ocean (Raven’s Pass) seventh. Ucalledit will be chasing his first win since last year’s Listed Winter Stakes (1400m) but he hasn’t been far away in some handy form races, including when fourth to stablemate Rustic Steel (Deep Field) in the Gr.3 Newcastle Stakes (1400m) two starts ago. He has been given a week to settle into Queensland and has continued to please the stable. “He had his main gallop on (Wednesday) morning, and he worked well,” Lees said. “He’s ready to go. “He has been up there for a week, so he is pretty seasoned from that perspective.” Dylan Gibbons will ride Ucalledit in The Archer (1300m), the horse faring well in the draw with barrier three. He is a $12 chance, with fellow NSW-trained galloper Strait Acer (Headwater) heading betting as a $2.40 favourite. View the full article -

When Society Man runs in the Kentucky Derby (G1), his co-owner, Anthony Melfi of GMP Stables, and Gary Gullo, Melfi's stable manager, will fondly be thinking of people who played a hand in bringing the two men to Louisville for their first Derby.View the full article -

Fantastic race to watch live.....very competitive the entire way ! Katrina Purdon said in speech that the horse had character and just this morning was kicking in his box...very unusual to the point that she had a bet on him. He was last at 800m ,not much closer at 400 and came very wide on turn. Still spanked them !
