      Change of Tune

      By Freda · Posted

      If i was on a salary such as those referred to, above, I'm sure I could find some ideas. And, as pointed out in another thread, if funds hadn't been wasted on stakes for the last two decades instead of attending to track maintenance,  we may not be quite so badly off.

      Any lessons here?

      Did you have a share in the two Des's jackpot?  I also remember amongst others on the organising panel were Wendy Cooper and Lisa O'Sullivan.  I don't know if it was ever repeated but, it should have been.

      Gringotts goes back-to-back in The Gong

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      With a successful defence of his title in Saturday’s A$1 million The Illawarra Mercury Gong (1600m) at Kembla Grange, Kiwi-bred marvel Gringotts has now won five races worth $1 million or more within the space of barely a year. The Per Incanto gelding’s back-to-back victories in The Gong sit alongside his dual triumphs in the A$3 million The Big Dance (1600m) at Randwick, plus the most prestigious victory of his career in the A$1 million Gr.1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill last March. The Ciaron Maher-trained Gringotts has now had 25 starts for 12 wins, nine placings and more than A$6.1 million in prize-money. Saturday’s second win in The Gong came courtesy of a daring ride from Nash Rawiller and a lion-hearted performance from Gringotts under 61kg. Persistent rain throughout the afternoon sent the Kembla Grange track down to a Heavy8, and the majority of the field in The Gong came wide around the home turn in search of better ground. But Rawiller saved ground and stayed closer to the inside, and Gringotts suddenly moved from midfield to be right in the firing line early in the run home. Most of the action was down the outside of the straight, headed by second favourite Estadio Mestalla under 56kg, but Gringotts refused to be denied. He kept finding, kept lifting, and clawed his way in front to win by just under half a length. “You’ve got to back your judgement,” Rawiller said. “But when they all went to the outside so quick, I thought, ‘Oh my god, I’ve done the wrong thing here.’ “But I was still confident that if I stayed patient, went through my gears and kept the horse building under me, that there’d be something there at the 100m. There really had to be. “He’s a warrior. He’s such a good horse. I really loved that win. It was very thrilling.” Gringotts was bred by Totara Park Stud and is by Little Avondale Stud’s outstanding sire Per Incanto out of the Savabeel mare Miss Bluebell. Herself unraced, Miss Bluebell is a daughter of Operavega, whose half-sister Vegas Showgirl was the dam of the legendary Winx. Miss Bluebell is the dam of two stakes performers from three foals to race. The other is Millefiori, who has won seven races for Te Akau Racing and placed in the Listed Great Easter Stakes, while the other full-sibling to Gringotts, Dan Vegas, was sold to Hong Kong. Gringotts was offered by Archer Park in Book 1 of Karaka 2021, where Kasa Bloodstock bought him for $100,000. He was re-offered at the Ready to Run Sale later that year, but failed to meet his $450,000 reserve. He was subsequently sold privately after winning a trial at Waipa for Simon and Katrina Alexander.
