    • No you can't have it both ways ,but you certainly can't have it the wrong way ...which is exactly where this is heading. 
    • Yeah right..NOT. Hastings and Awapuni have each had had more than one false start. Other tracks have shouldered the burden due to continual abysmal NZTR management. Only nut jobs would get rid of Woodville given what has happened over the last 3 years. And who apart from you says we have to choose.
    • David Hayes has his sights firmly set on the HK$300,000 International Jockeys’ Championship (IJC) trainers’ bonus with a battalion of seven horses across the four legs of Wednesday’s lucrative competition. The top trainer won the prize in 2021 and will have every chance to do the same at Happy Valley with an in-form squad that includes the strong pair of Akashvani and Romantic Son in the fourth leg, a Class Three contest over 1,200m. Romantic Son ran riot in the grade on his most recent start,...View the full article
    • He may have been a touch jaded when he left Hong Kong in 2019, but Umberto Rispoli is back in town with a spring in his step and boasting every bit of the infectious energy he’s so well known for. Frustrated by a lack of opportunity after 122 Hong Kong wins across almost eight years, Rispoli packed his bags and headed for the United States. Almost six years to the day, he returns in the midst of his “best year as a rider” after 127 wins including a superb victory aboard Journalism in the Group...View the full article
    • Australia’s newest Group One winner, Cosmic Crusader (NZ) (Maurice), will back-up in Saturday’s Gr.3 Gold Rush (1400m) at Ascot, assuming he comes through the weekend’s heroics in good order. After a luckless campaign, which saw him finish third in both the Gr.3 Asian Beau Stakes (1400m) and Gr.3 RJ Peters Stakes (1500m), both at an odds-on quote, Cosmic Crusader took out the Listed Carbine Club Stakes (1400m) on November 22, before his gutsy Northerly triumph. Having gone from 1400 metres up to 1800 metres, the five-year-old gelded son of Maurice, who was bred by and is raced by Bob Peters, will now drop back to 1400 metres in the Gold Rush. Michael Grantham knows it’s somewhat of an unorthodox preparation, and it’s certainly a challenge, but it’s one he’s looking forward to. “He’s pulled up well this morning,” Grantham told SEN Track. “We’ll probably accept for the Gold Rush and I’ll just keep monitoring him during the week and keep the work up to him, because I don’t want him to get away from me. “It will be a very big test for him. I know it was a big test on Saturday.” Cosmic Crusader will meet a quality field on Saturday, with defending champion Western Empire (NZ) (Iffraaj), who placed third in the Northerly, also set to back-up. Beaten Winterbottom Stakes contestants Overpass (Vancouver), Jokers Grin (Maschino), Rey Magnerio (Magnus) and Rope Them In (Playing God) will also tackle the race. Western Empire’s stablemate, Watch Me Rock (Awesome Rock), who was narrowly beaten by Cosmic Crusader in the Northerly, won’t be there; the Gr.1 Railway Stakes victor has gone to the paddock. “That Gold Rush, with those couple of handy sprinters that can really turn on the speed, it might bring him undone, but you’re racing for $1.5 million so you’ve got to have a crack while you’ve got the horse,” Grantham added.
