for opinion sake. And the sake of Fair racing . What was the penalty you would like then ? if you were in charge ? A/ For David Moran on Captain Hammerhead ? B/ for Cam Hart on his seating position.? (mainly his foot 😉) C/ For Pete McMullen and Dexter Dunn who are both in the World Drivers Championship Slot race shortly at Albion Park. A huge event. And as the 2 favourites in betting , but drive with their Bodies outside the confines of the cart ? (This is more likely to defeat opponents than anything Cam Hart does with his foot lol) And helps them win races. D / The stewards for not enforcing the rules that you are seeing broken in your opinion. ? -

Versatile mare Catherinenz (NZ) (Shamexpress) made the perfect return to her five-year-old term at Otaki on Sunday, scoring a gritty victory in the Cavallo Farms and Chris Rutten Bloodstock Handicap (1400m). Having just her 10th start, Catherinenz has been patiently handled by Robbie Patterson since she joined his stable in mid-2023, recording three wins up to Rating 75 level, most recently seen when running third at New Plymouth in July. The daughter of Shamexpress went to the paddock following her winter campaign and was well-backed on resumption, starting the $4.50 favourite in an even market for Sunday’s contest. Catherinenz flew the gates under Craig Grylls but allowed Massive Prince and Charlotte’s Way to take up the pacemaking role, settling in the one-one outside of second-elect Tokyo Hot Night. Massive Prince took the outright lead and raced boldly up-front, and turning for home, Catherinenz was poised to pounce and hit the lead early. Latrelle looked a big danger to the mare in the final 50m, but she showed her class, pinning her ears back and finding the line strongly to score by a neck. Patterson was rapt with the performance, as he looks ahead to races like the Listed Opunake Cup (1400m) and Gr.3 Winter Cup (1600m) later in the season. “She’s a horse that will go into the autumn and winter where I think we can get some black-type with her,” Patterson said. “She was a bit short on fitness today and executed it very well, I’m very happy with her and she’s got plenty of upside. “She appreciates a bit of cut in the track and the Opunake Cup has always been the thought with her, it’s worth a couple hundred-thousand this year and it’s on her home track. “The Winter Cup would also be something we would look to, she’s won at Riccarton and was very impressive there last autumn.” Out of a Guillotine mare Grey Sapphire, Catherinenz was bred and owned by Roger Blunt, of whom she has now earned over $58,000 with four wins and two minor placings in 10 starts.

The possible return from retirement of Pride Of Jenni (Pride Of Dubai) has reached a crucial stage with the Trelawney Stud bred back in work at trainer Ciaron Maher’s Cranbourne stables. Maher confirmed on Saturday that the seven-year-old mare is being prepared for another racing campaign. “She’s just come into the stables and while she’s obviously had her issues, she seems in good order,” Maher said. He said the commencement of trackwork did not necessarily mean Pride Of Jenni was certain to race again. “I want to see her come back and for her to show everything is in order,” he said. “You have to make sure every box is ticked before going back to the races. “But she does seem her old self. She does seem very straight-forward. “It’s good to see her happy, healthy and well and as I said, her demeanour is very similar to what it has always been. “First thing is to make sure she’s right. She does seem in a very similar headspace. “She put on weight, but she doesn’t look heavy and she’s moving quite well. “They (owners) looked after her really well. She’s had her time off and she’s done a bit of training.” Meanwhile I Wish I Win (NZ) (Savabeel) will continue his path to a return to racing when he jumps out at Pakenham on Tuesday. The star galloper won a jumpout at his home track on January 28 and his co-trainer Peter Moody said he wanted him to have one more hit-out before the stable commits to a racetrack return for the six-year-old gelding. Moody and Katherine Coleman spelled I Wish I Win after he finished last in The Everest. Moody said late last year that the winner of seven races from 24 starts and $13 million will be set for longer trips. He suggested a race like the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on February 22 could be a possibility for I Wish I Win, as well as the G1 All-Star Mile (1600m) at Flemington.

Consistent performer Mr Intelligence (NZ) (Niagara) displayed his love of a firm track surface when he proved too tough in a battling finish to the open handicap stayers feature at Wingatui, the Grand Casino (2200m). Having just her first ride on the Nikki and Barrie Blatch owned and trained nine-year-old, leading South Island jockey Tina Comignaghi produced a masterclass as she had him bowling along without a care in the world just behind the pace on the outer, after moving forward from a wide draw early in the piece. Pulled to the centre of the track shortly after straightening for the run home, Mr Intelligence quickly joined pacemakers Complicate and Quick Story before forging to the front with 150m to run. The late-closing local Mayor Of Norwood made a real race of it for the final few bounds, but Mr Intelligence had plenty in hand as he held on to win by a clear half length margin at the winning post. Co-trainer Nikki Blatch was thrilled with the win as she looks ahead to a bigger goal for Mr Intelligence early next month. “I think he deserved that as he has been very consistent throughout his preparation this time in and we knew once he struck the firm tracks he likes, he would be hard to beat,” Blatch said. “He won’t go an inch on wet ground, but he had been building his fitness nicely and is near his peak now. “Tina rode him beautifully as she never panicked and brought him into the race at just the right time. “He is such a lovely horse who is very tractable and has a good turn of speed that Tina employed with perfect timing.” The plan now is to give Mr Intelligence another shot at the Listed Dunedin Gold Cup (2400m) on 1 March, a race where he finished runner-up in 2020 before having his career put on hold later that year when suffering the first of two tendon injuries. “We have been looking at the Dunedin Gold Cup, but I wasn’t sure if he would make the field without a win today,” she said. “Hopefully that is taken care of, and it would be such a thrill to win it after he has come back from injuring the same tendon twice. “The first time he did it he had nearly twelve months on the sidelines and when he did it again, we thought that was the end for him. “The vet said it was a longshot for him to come back again, so we put him the paddock and used him as a hack. He thrived and hasn’t looked back since so we are very lucky, he is still racing. “He is a joy to have around the stable as he is a complete professional and jus does everything you ask of him. “To win a race like the Dunedin Gold Cup would be icing on the cake for a wonderful horse.” Bred by Curraghmore’s Gordon Cunningham, Mr Intelligence was purchased for $4,750 off the gavelhouse.com website. He has now won nine of his 53 starts, including the 2021 Listed Metropolitan Trophy (2500m) at Riccarton, for just under $260,000 in prizemoney. View the full article
