The win by Banks in the $250,000 Rushaway Stakes March 22 at Turfway Park came as no surprise to longtime breeder Beau Lane. Lane, who has been breeding horses for 60 years, is no stranger to raising good horses such as Jackie's Warrior and Farrell.View the full article -

Donna Logan recorded her first win since moving back to New Zealand when Larius Lacus took out the Waikato/BOP Racehorse Owners Maiden 1400 at Tauranga on Sunday. Based in Singapore for seven years, Logan returned to New Zealand late last year after racing ceased in the racing jurisdiction, and she has been in a rebuilding phase at her new base in Byerley Park. While in Singapore, Logan struck up a good association with Ben Kwok, with the prominent breeder and owner vowing to support her on her return to New Zealand. He subsequently entrusted Larius Lacus to her care, with the daughter of Turn Me Loose previously having had two unplaced runs in Australia. The three-year-old filly placed in her only trial for Logan over 1000m at Ellerslie earlier this month and showed tenacity in her New Zealand debut when holding out Tempsford to win by a long neck in the hands of Warren Kennedy on Sunday. Logan was delighted to get back on the winner’s board in New Zealand, and said it was fitting that she achieved it with a filly bred and owned by Kwok. “It is great to be back, it’s a really good feeling,” she said. “Ben is a great supporter of New Zealand racing. Every second person you look at has got a horse for Ben. “I trained for him in Singapore, he is a really good friend, and I was thrilled to be able to give him that win. “When the announcement in Singapore was made that they were closing down racing, I went out for lunch with Ben and he said he was going to support me in New Zealand. He said he had a filly in Australia he was going to send back to New Zealand for me, and that was Larius Lacus.” Logan was pleased with Larius Lacus’ performance and said she has come through the run well. “I thought it was a really tough effort from her first-up,” she said. “She had every right to be challenged and beaten, but she dug again. It was a very positive ride from Warren Kennedy, which was probably the making of the race in the early stages. “She licked the bowl clean last night and I couldn’t be happier with her, she is nice and bright this morning, she has come through it well.” Logan is enjoying being back in New Zealand, however, she admitted she isn’t looking forward to experiencing winter for the first time in several years. “I have been back training for just over three months and the weather has been good, so I have loved it, but I may have a different view on life in winter,” she quipped. Logan is still in the midst of re-establishing herself in New Zealand but said she is excited about the prospects of a number of juveniles in her barn. “I have got a barn full of a lot of two-year-olds,” she said. “We have just got to be patient, young horses take that much longer to get established. We will just tick along very quietly and we will get there.” View the full article -

Promising three-year-old stayer Lucan will join his stablemate Chattahoochee in feature races at Ellerslie next month after collecting an eye-catching maiden victory at Tauranga on Sunday. Te Awamutu horsewoman Debbie Sweeney lined up three runners in the Mills Reef Maiden (2100m), with Lucan the second-elect of her string in the market behind Protheatrics. The son of Proisir brought good form into the race and regular rider Joe Doyle managed him well in the early stages, getting the diminutive gelding to settle near the tail of the field. Denver controlled the pace up-front and led into the turn, where Lucan found himself last with plenty of ground to make up. Doyle took the shortest route on the inside and the gelding showed a tidy turn of foot at the end of the middle-distance contest to pick up the leader, scoring by a long neck at the line, with Protheatrics back in third. “It was a really good effort from him, he’s been going good races and just seems to over-race a little bit, but he was a little bit better yesterday with his racing manners,” Sweeney said. “There’s still plenty of improvement to come from him once he puts everything together, he’s only little but he tries really hard and is pretty tough. “It was nice to get that win with him and he was pretty impressive, it was a nice ride from Joe as well as he’s not the easiest horse to ride. He does a great job with him.” With minimal three-year-old stakes racing opportunities left for the season, Sweeney is considering a tilt at the Gr.3 Trelawney Stud Championship Stakes (2100m) at Ellerslie on April 19. “Time is going to be on his side, but there is a three-year-old 2100 at Ellerslie on the 19th and we may look at going there,” she said. “They’re only three once and it’s nice sometimes to give them that opportunity before he heads to the paddock.” The Sweeney-Doyle combination were back in the winner’s circle in the last at Tauranga, combining with promising galloper Willit in the Super Liquor Greerton (1200m). A lightly-raced son of Swiss Ace, Willit’s debut victory came on a heavy surface last year and Sweeney intended to have him back for the winter months, kicking off earlier in March. Despite favouring the cut in the track, the gelding put his talent on display on top of the ground on Sunday, travelling on-speed and kicking strongly to edge out Dua Dance by a neck. “He’s a tough horse and I’m looking forward to stepping him up over more ground this preparation,” Sweeney said. “When we get some rain about that will certainly help him, but it was a good effort yesterday and he probably won’t race again for three or four weeks now. “He’s one to watch out for over the winter.” Sweeney’s stable star Chattahoochee has also pulled up in good order from his run at Te Aroha on Saturday, where he carried the 60kg topweight and faded after leading up in the Open 1600m contest. A winner of seven races, the Reliable Man gelding remains on target for the Gr.3 Manco Easter Handicap (1600m) on April 19. “He’s pulled up well, it was hard with the weight, and he was giving away six or seven kilos,” she said. “The plan wasn’t to lead, but Courtney (Barnes, jockey) said he just put himself there. In saying that, the result would’ve probably been the same, and I think the weight just told in the end. “He’s going to head to the Easter now, a shower of rain heading into that race would certainly help him but he’s a very honest horse that tries hard so I’m pretty sure he can bounce back.” View the full article -
It does seem a bit two faced to randomly lambast me for posting a PM from him on TRP, if he is reading other peoples' PMs himself. At least I now know that is what upset him and why he banned me, then censored my posts. -

James McDonald. Photo: Reg Ryan (Racing Photos) Two prime Group 1 rides at Tuesday’s rescheduled Group 1 Tancred Stakes (2400m) meeting at Rosehill have been filled following confirmation that champion jockey James McDonald will miss the meeting due to overseas commitments. Racing NSW announced on Sunday, “Due to prior commitments in Dubai, James McDonald will not be able to partner those horses he was declared to ride at the rescheduled Rosehill Gardens meeting on Tuesday. Replacement riders will be notified when available.” The Rosehill card, originally scheduled for Saturday, was postponed 72 hours after a deluge hit Sydney late last week. McDonald is understood to be heading to Dubai several days early to prepare for his ride on Hong Kong superstar Romantic Warrior in Saturday night’s Group 1 Dubai Turf (1800m). His absence on Tuesday has seen Zac Lloyd pick up the ride on Movin Out in the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m), while Blake Shinn will partner UK import River Of Stars as he makes his Australian debut in the Group 1 Tancred Stakes (2400m). McDonald is due to return to Sydney in time for day two of The Championships at Randwick on April 12, where he is booked to ride Via Sistina, the current favourite with horse racing betting sites for the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m).
