    • Can't be too bad the way they're rated mate. as 9 of the 16 horses in that race (10 horses if you count the scratching ) have a WIN in their last 3 races starts. and old Rachmaninov won 5 starts ago. so that's a good grading and winning ratio.  But do agree that is A super Tough task for a maiden taking on so many race winning trotters like that , for sure. Musn't be anything around that a three year old trotting filly can start in ? . should head to Manawatu maybe ? 😁💰
    • An Excellent watch, thank you for posting. Obviously was off colour, showing his age (then 81) and passed inside four years of this interview however there are some superb pieces of information contained amongst his constant cough. As an owner/punter I am not qualified to comment on his thoughts re feeding but to those who are, do many trainers today feed as he insists? (mixing grains) as opposed to pellets
    • Addington race 4 Friday night, 2000 metre stand for $18,000 just shows how the current rating system is stupid! When a 14 win horse is programmed to race a non winner then it is high time HRNZ reconsiders the current rating system! Buffy Northstains has won 14 races and starts off the front and  yet HRNZ have allowed a 9 start all unplaced maidenSenior Constable Liz, to start off the unruly?? There are also several 9 race winners also included in the field with the maiden to race against! Seriously what benefit is it for the industry to allow this maiden who is not competitive in a maiden race to be able to race at headquarters when it has no chance on earth of being g near the money?? Maidens should never be allowed to race against race winners and high time HRNZ changes the rules cos this is just a blatant farce!!!!
    • What 2025 Golden Slipper Stakes Where Rosehill Gardens Racecourse – Sydney, NSW When Saturday, March 22, 2025 Prizemoney $5,000,000 Distance 1200m Conditions Group 1, Set Weights 2024 winner Lady Of Camelot (5) | T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | J: Blake Shinn (54.5kg) Visit Dabble The 68th running of the time-honoured Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) headlines the action at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon, with a capacity field of 16 two-year-olds set to battle it out in Australia’s premier juvenile sprint. The $5 million feature has plenty of form-lines to dissect, including the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m), where Devil Night attempts to be the first horse since Sepoy (2011) to do the double. Wodeton has been the long-standing favourite for the event and will be looking to replicate the feat of Shinzo (2024) for Coolmore once again. Will the $1.6 million colt live up to the hype? Or is there an upset brewing in the 2025 Golden Slipper? 2025 Golden Slipper odds The wealth of support with horse racing bookmakers for Wodeton prior to the barrier draw has kept the Wootton Bassett colt a firm $5.00 favourite with Neds heading into the Slipper. Tempted is on the second line of betting at $5.50 with BlondeBet after a strong win in the Group 2 Reisling Stakes (1200m), while Skyhook ($8.50) was the big firmer after a slashing win in last Saturday’s Group 3 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m). Undefeated colt Rivellino is the big drifter out to $11.00 despite securing the services of Hong Kong-based hoop Hugh Bowman, while the likes of Devil Night ($11.00), Marhoona ($13.00) and Within The Law ($15.00) represent good each-way value with horse betting sites. 2025 Golden Slipper speed map There should be speed to burn in this year’s edition of the Golden Slipper, with the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained trio of North England (9), Farcited (17) and Bellazaine (15) all looking to press forward to contest the early lead. Beiwacht (16) and Devil Night (11) have shown good early speed in the past as well, while Skyhook (8) can take a sit this time despite making every post a winner in the Pago Pago. The favoured pair of Tempted and Wodeton should get every chance to hold a handy position drawn in gate one and two respectively, while the likes of Rivellino (3), West Of Swindon (4), Tycoon Star (5) and Quietly Arrogant (7) map to sit midfield with cover throughout the journey. Continue reading for HorseBetting’s top selections and $100 betting strategy for the 2025 Golden Slipper. Golden Slipper 2025 preview & form It’s worth splitting your stake in a wide-open edition of the Golden Slipper; however, it’s the Godolphin filly Tempted that goes on top. The daughter of Street Boss arguably should’ve won the Blue Diamond with any luck two starts back and proceeded to frank the form with a barnstorming victory in the Group 2 Reisling Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on March 8. Gate one allows Blake Shinn to hold a spot on the leaders’ back throughout, and provided she doesn’t get held up when attempting to get clear, Tempted must be considered a major player. Within The Law has done nothing wrong and appears slightly disrespected in the market at the $15.00 with PlayUp. She was wide without cover every step of the way in the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes (1200m) leading into this and still had the audacity to finish best. The tempo aids her chance to storm down the centre of the course despite drawing barrier 13, and with the Lucky Vega filly arguably having the best turn-of-speed in the race, she must be respected. West Of Swindon is the forgotten horse here and is a big price with online betting sites. Team Hawkes missed a run in the Pago Pago to save himself for this, and although he may be considered underdone compared to some key rivals, the $26.00 is too big to ignore.

    • Derby placegetter Golden Century (NZ) (Pierro) will travel to Sydney next week to contest the Gr.2 Tulloch Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill, ahead of a possible tilt at the A$2 million Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m) on April 5.  While still a maiden after seven starts, Golden Century has shown promise from his debut and only narrowly missed the top honours in the Listed Gingernuts Salver (2100m) in January. He continued on to the $1.25 million Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) on Champions Day, where he missed the start and powered home to finish third behind Willydoit (NZ) (Tarzino) and Thedoctoroflove. Tony Pike has always held the son of Pierro in high regard and the Cambridge horseman was rapt with the performance. “He was very slow away and probably didn’t have all favours when trying to improve into the race, but he closed off the race very strongly late and his sectionals were some of the best of the race,” Pike said. “He’s heading the right way, he’s been very much a work in progress but we always thought he would be a genuine stayer and we couldn’t have been happier with the run, albeit not winning. “He’s come through the race in great order and obviously he seems to be improving with each run, so we’ll take him over for the Tulloch Stakes on Saturday-week, and if he performs well in that, there’s no reason that he won’t back up a week later in the Derby. “We gave him four or five days in the paddock post-Derby and we just kept him ticking over, he’s dropping back in trip to 2000m for the Tulloch so we’ve tried to freshen him up a touch. “He’ll gallop tomorrow morning (Thursday) before he heads over next Tuesday.” While Golden Century was purchased earlier in the season by Australian syndicators OTI Racing, there is no certainty that he will remain across the Tasman after the Derby. “We’re not quite sure yet, we’ll have that discussion post the Derby with OTI and make that call,” Pike said. To be run at Royal Randwick, Golden Century is currently rated a $13 chance in the TAB Futures market for the Australian Derby, with Willydoit on top at $3.60 ahead of Goldrush Guru ($4.50). Closer to home this Saturday, Pike will have a sole representative travelling to Trentham in Val Di Zoldo (NZ) (War Decree). A Group Two winner over 2100m, the mare has been in solid form this preparation and will contest the Gr.3 Wentwood Grange Cuddle Stakes (1600m). “She’s coming up really well, her best form last year was during the autumn as well and she was very unlucky not to win the Travis Stakes at Group Two level,” Pike said. “Third-up she should be peaking and it looks like a nice race for her, especially with the rain that is around. Any sort of cut in the track will benefit her.” View the full article
