By Mike Love Regular beach training has been one of the keys to turning around Sharma Trouble , the winner of the Rakaia Seed Cleaning Trot at Methven yesterday. Trained by Nigel Chalmers at Waikouaiti trainer Nigel Chalmers, it was the six-year-old Superfast Stuart gelding’s first win nine starts. “It looked like he jogged that. I think the penny may have dropped with him, I think he’s quite promising.” said Chalmers. Sharma Trouble, driven by Sam Thornley, began quickly to lead early before settling three back the markers. The gaps presented themselves up the long Methven straight for Sharma Trouble to burst through and speed away to win by two lengths from Castleisland and Rosary. “I have been taking him over to the beach everyday the last couple of weeks and he’s just been getting better and better.” Sharma Trouble was formerly with Methven trainer Michael Heenan before Chalmers saw the gelding up for sale. “I called Michael and asked to lease it, which he agreed to. He told me he works really well and that if I could get him right he’d win some races.” “He’s had a few issues along the way – back issues, foot issues, muscled issues – the works. So it’s been a very satisfying win because of the work that’s gone into him.” There are seven people involved in the lease – including Chalmers’ father Graeme Chalmers who trained 19 winners himself. “Dad’s in it, with a couple of friends, my sister and a few others so it’s really cool for them.” Chalmers has now trained 21 winners, and trains one other horse in addition to Sharma Trouble. “Annrose is a horse with ability – she will go to the trials on Wednesday to hopefully qualify. She’s one to follow in the future.” View the full article -

By Jonny Turner Craig Ferguson was taking none of the credit after his perfectly judged front-running drive helped Shepherd’s Delight win yesterday’s Otautau Four Square Wairio Cup. The pacer was in front from the second the standing start tapes were released in the Winton feature, with Ferguson judging the pace to perfection behind the Ivan Court trained five-year-old. Though he clearly got his mid-race calculations spot on, Ferguson was quick to hand the credit for the win to Court. The Canterbury trainer is known for producing brilliant standing start horses, and Shepherd’s Delight showed he was exactly that in the biggest win of his career. “The credit really needs to go to Ivan,” Ferguson said. “All his horses can begin super and this fellow today, that is what won him the race.” “He made such a great beginning and we were able to roll along and make them chase.” Ferguson ran even times in the lead, setting a big task for the backmarkers and favourites Miraculous and Built For Glory to chase him down. Miraculous got close to Shepherd’s Delight in the home straight, before the winner dug in bravely when challenged. “I just had to make sure that I went quick enough that they had to do a bit of work to chase me, but not too quick so that I still had plenty at the finish,” Ferguson said. “When we ramped it up he still had plenty in store, he went super.” Court produced a perfect two-from-two on Wairio Cup Day with Bondi Lustre also running to victory. The mare also dug in late to score, handing driver Tim Williams his 900th win in the sulky in New Zealand. Williams was only stuck on 899 wins for a week, but he was eager to chase down his milestone victory. “It is a massive thrill, obviously glad to get there, I have had a few placings the last wee bit.” “But it is nice to get it across the line today.” Williams finished Wairio Cup Day on 902 New Zealand wins after enjoying feature race victories with both B D Hall in Sunday’s Gold Chip Final and Sweet Diamond in heat one of the Southern Belle Speed Series. There were few more satisfied trainers than Nathan Williamson after Hidden Talent’s win in Sunday’s feature trot. The mare hinted she was on her way back to her best for with a last-start victory at Riverton. When the six-year-old charged home from a tricky spot before the home turn at Winton, it confirmed to Williamson that Hidden Talent was right back to where she needed to be. “We had to do some soul-searching there for a while, the ability was never in question,” the trainer-driver said. “She has been working as good as ever all season, it has just been a matter of getting everything else right.” “Today she was really happy.” Williamson also won with the Brett Gray trained Always Ticking at yesterday’s Wairio Cup meeting.

Lucky With You forges clear. Photo: HKJC Luke Ferraris continued a blistering form surge with success aboard veteran sprinter Lucky With You at Sha Tin on Sunday, leaving the young South African jockey with three feature victories in 10 days. Buoyant after wins in the Hong Kong Classic Mile (1600m) on My Wish at Sha Tin on 31 January and the HK$3.12 million Class 2 Tsun Yip Handicap (1650m) on Mr Ascendency at Happy Valley on Wednesday (February 5), Ferraris continued a stunning season with Lucky With You’s triumph. Ferraris, 23, produced a copybook ride on Frankie Lor’s seven-year-old, who had been competing at Group 1 level against champion sprinter Ka Ying Rising and clearly appreciated the drop in grade. Sitting fourth on the rails throughout, Ferraris drove dual Group 1 runner-up Lucky With You (129lb) between Harmony N Blessed and Magic Control inside the final 100m before powering clear of Gorgeous Win (123lb) and Magic Control (127lb) in 1:08.47. Lor said: “Class 1 is different for him because usually he’s in Group 1 or Group 2. He’s seven years old now and it was great to get another win for the owners. Perfect ride by Luke.” Having his first ride on the Artie Schiller gelding, Ferraris was elated after extending a remarkable run of form. “He (Lucky With You) is a lovely, game horse. He’s a real soldier. He does have a bit of a short sprint so the way the race panned out was ideal. We got behind a nice horse, Magic Control, and he pulled us through to the 250m and when he had done his job, Harmony N Blessed started to fall away,” Ferraris said. “It worked out really nicely and he hit the gap really strongly and powered away to the line, so thanks to Frankie and his team. Hopefully we can keep rolling. The support has been fantastic and I’ll be looking to keep that going and if it does, hopefully I can keep capitalising on the decent rides.” Californiatotality advanced HK$26 million Hong Kong Derby (2000m) hopes with victory for Tony Cruz. Ridden by Brenton Avdulla, the Zoustar gelding notched his fifth win from 16 starts. Cruz made it a double when Righteous Arion clinched the Class 3 TVB Heroes In White Handicap (1200m) under Alexis Badel. Jamie Richards posted his third winner in as many meetings when La Forza capped an eventful 24 hours with victory under Zac Purton. A three-year-old by Toronado, La Forza posted his second win from four starts after galloping riderless at Sha Tin on Saturday morning after losing his rider. “It was just unfortunate that he shied basically at the TV screen there. But he didn’t go too fast when he did a little quiet lap without the rider on and thankfully everything’s gone nice and smoothly for him today,” Richards said of La Forza’s trackwork incident. “He’s a horse who last season was very immature and we backed off him and we thought we had him ready to go earlier in the season and we just had to back off him again because he was just a little bit shin sore. He was very weak last season but he’s put on a lot of weight and strengthened up.” Purton took his tally to 84 wins for the season when David Eustace’s Light Years Charm swept to victory after Lyle Hewitson slotted a double, scoring aboard Benno Yung-trained Special Hedge and Francis Lui’s Gallant Epoch. “Obviously, it’s fantastic. It’s just been a slow (start) this season but I feel like over the past two weeks, I’ve been feeling really good in the saddle and I think that is showing – and that’s a positive,” Hewitson said. “On top of that, I’ve been given one or two opportunities each meeting which I’ve been able to convert.” Pierre Ng reclaimed the lead in the 2024/25 trainers’ championship with Gale Saga’s victory for Matthew Poon before Dennis Yip’s Super Love landed the Class 4 TVB Pok Oi Charity Show Handicap (1200m) for Teetan. Jimmy Ting posted his sixth win of the campaign when Flash Current snared the Class 4 TVB Po Leung Kuk Gala Spectacular Handicap (1200m) for Harry Bentley. Winning Gold claimed the Class 3 The Fading Gold Handicap (1400m) for Karis Teetan and Chris So. Horse racing news View the full article
