The 2025 Alice Springs Cup Carnival continues at Pioneer Park with NT Guineas Day on Saturday, March 22. The 2025 NT Guineas (1600m) takes centre stage at Pioneer Park on Day 2 of the Alice Springs Cup Carnival, and Saturday’s $50,000 feature is shaping to be an open betting affair. Over the years, the event has produced plenty of surprises. The Paul Gardner-trained Better Not Fuss caused a boilover 12 months ago when he saluted as a $91 outsider with horse racing bookmakers. Such unpredictability is common, as the three-year-olds have limited success and experience over 1600m. This year’s Guineas should be an interesting contest, with only one of the nine starters running a place over the mile. Vanguard Legend, trained by Chloe Baxter in Darwin, finished third in a 1650m Doomben maiden last spring for Gold Coast trainer Peter Robl. Arriving in the Top End after six starts, Vanguard Legend prevailed first-up in a 1200m maiden at Fannie Bay on February 21. Kerry Petrick’s Buckleup Buddy and The Accelator have raced over 1600m and beyond. Buckleup Buddy, preparing for his NT debut, was winless after seven Victorian starts for Stawell trainer Andrew Bobbin. The Accelator, also winless in Victoria, battled over 1400m at Pioneer Park on February 15 and March 8 after contesting a 1500m Caulfield maiden and 1856m Kyneton maiden for Mornington trainer Jerome Hunter. Ray Viney’s Grinzinger Lass — the early $3 Guineas favourite with Neds — led Greg Connor’s King Bling, Kym Healy’s Snore Room and Dick Leech’s Boom Smash Opera home over 1400m on March 8. Darwin-based Point Loma, trained by Ella Clarke, was a last-start second over 1200m at Fannie Bay on January 25 after winning a 1300m Armidale maiden for Scone trainer Brett Cavanough. The Men Went Home, another horse Petrick purchased from Hunter, launched his career in February with two thirds over 1200m at Seymour and 1423m at Sale. Grinzinger Lass, the only filly in the Guineas, had plenty left in the tank a fortnight ago when pouncing along the fence in the home straight to win by 2.5 lengths. NT form analyst Greg Aldam has spent the past month in Alice Springs and agrees the Guineas is an open affair. “Grinzinger Lass certainly impressed last start and has drawn perfectly with gate one, which should guarantee a good run in transit,” he said. “Snore Room has had success at Morphettville and will only improve from a hit-out and first look at the Alice track. “King Bling has done little wrong and Point Loma should prove competitive, while Boom Smash Opera beat the three-year-olds over 1200m a month ago. “Vanguard Legend looks to have exposed form around the 1600m trip and Kerry Petrick’s runners always need to be respected.” Horse racing news View the full article -

Meeting News Trainer Info re Positive Swab - Caffeine NZTR have been advised by the RIB that they are investigating a caffeine positive swab in relation to a thoroughbred racehorse. A product used by the trainer has been the subject of an advisory by the manufacturer in Australia. Please check the link below for more information. Important Information about MetaboLize – Poseidon Animal Health NZ Inquiries with a NZ supplier of MetaboLize revealed they also received an email notification from Poseidon yesterday. Important Information about MetaboLize Published 19 March 2025 We want to inform you about a recent quality control matter regarding MetaboLize. Routine testing by Racing Australia detected trace amounts of caffeine in three horses that had been given MetaboLize. Following this, we conducted extensive testing and a full investigation. The results confirmed that one of the raw materials used in MetaboLize was unknowingly contaminated with caffeine residue before arriving at our manufacturing facility. Since MetaboLize does not naturally contain caffeine, this was entirely unexpected. In response, we have strengthened our testing and quality control procedures—both at our manufacturing site and with our raw material suppliers—to ensure this does not occur in the future. This was an isolated incident, and no other products from our range have been affected. The full test results, received yesterday, showed an extremely low level of caffeine (less than 0.5%) in the November production batch which is what is in the marketplace today. While this trace amount poses no risk to a horse’s health or safety, it could possibly be detected in competition drug tests. Caffeine is water-soluble and, at this low dose, will be excreted quickly from the horse’s system. So, for precaution, our veterinary team recommends a 72-hour withholding period before racing or competing where drug testing may occur. Moving forward we have implemented strict protocols where all future batches of MetaboLize will be pre and post screened for caffeine prior to release to market. If you have any concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team via phone or email at info@poseidonanimalhealth.com. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your trust in us. Our commitment remains unwavering in providing the highest-quality supplements to support equine health and performance. -
southlands problem has been they don't have the numbers to sustain the amount of racing programmed for their region,so you just get a diluted,less profitable profit. And of course the levels of participation is influenced by the returns people get,so if you have a less profitable product then the abilty to sustain levels of returns must drop and subsequently so will partication drop further. Its all just an ever decreasing circle. thats never going to change.so the best approach is to address the issues now,not later. HRNZ are being consistent,.They seem to be taking the same head in the sand approach as they are to the auckland problem. Thats why i often say theres a lack of vision and leadership coming from hrnz. Everyone knows what the problems are,but leadership put off addressing the problems because its simply easier to paint over the cracks,and then move on to postions with greener pastures .Thats how it all seems to work. -
looking at last year,the smaller fields and race numbers came in july-september,so maybe no southland harness racing between july and mid september. I'sn't it just common sense to cut out the southland meetings which run at a loss during those months and incentivise redirecting the resources(i.e. the horses) into racing in canterbury or auckland during those same months when their fields are light in numbers,thus increasing the returns from those races.
