Desert Dancer was having its first start but in my opinion Midnight Diamond hadnt shown much in a very long time with Robbie Holmes! Whatever Ross Houghton has done has improved it a lot!

Bold Soul, ridden by Michael Dee, scores his seventh career win at Flemington. (Photo: Bruno Cannatelli) The Patrick and Michelle Payne-trained Bold Soul has been a consistent performer right through the winter months and notched another win at Flemington when prevailing on Saturday. With a muddling tempo early in the staying contest, Bold Soul was initially caught deep before settling into a rhythm for returning rider Mick Dee and showed the benefit of racing when defeating the resuming Changingoftheguard. Dee has recently returned from a stint in Japan and was delighted to get a winner at his first day back at headquarters with Bold Soul overcoming a niggly barrier of seven in the eight-horse field. “It panned out a little bit differently to what I thought,” Dee said. “I thought we were just going to slide across nicely but a couple kicked up on the inside of me. I was lucky enough that they were in single file but one off the fence and we were able to get in down the back. “He travelled quite strongly after that, which he can do, and given the way he travelled and the (messy) first turn, it made for an even better win. “The tempo was steady most of the way but then it really amped up at the half mile. When the tempo increased he was able to maintain the gallop strongly on the bridle right the way into the straight and the way he was able to quicken and keep quickening right through the line, it was a great effort.” Now a five-year-old, Bold Soul was having his eighth start for the preparation and there might be more to come from the Plumpton-trained galloper who advanced his career earnings to $644,975 with seven wins and six placings from 21 starts. “You seem to be able to do that (keep them up) when you’re training them from the farm,” stable representative Neil Greaves said. “It was a terrific ride from Mick Dee and we had the opportunity to put him on with the horse well down in weight (54.5kg). “It is a great result for the whole stable. “At this stage, I couldn’t see any reason to give him a spell. These type of horses, these races pop up every two or three weeks at Flemington and they’re worth really good money. I think the team’s view is that if he is fit and well, we might as well run him.” The Group 3 Archer Stakes (2500m) at Flemington next month now looms as an option for the Kiwi import, who has now had three wins and two placings at the premier Melbourne track from seven starts.

The Patrick and Michelle Payne-trained Bold Soul (NZ) (Embellish) has been a consistent performer right through the winter months and notched another win at Flemington when prevailing in the VRC Membership Renewals Open (2530m) on Saturday. With a muddling tempo early in the staying contest, Bold Soul was initially caught deep before settling into a rhythm for returning rider Mick Dee and showed the benefit of racing when defeating the resuming Changingoftheguard (Galileo). Dee has recently returned from a stint in Japan and was delighted to get a winner at his first day back at headquarters with Bold Soul overcoming a niggly barrier of seven in the eight-horse field. “It panned out a little bit differently to what I thought,” Dee said. “I thought we were just going to slide across nicely but a couple kicked up on the inside of me. I was lucky enough that they were in single file but one off the fence and we were able to get in down the back. “He travelled quite strongly after that, which he can do, and given the way he travelled and the (messy) first turn, it made for an even better win. “The tempo was steady most of the way but then it really amped up at the half mile. When the tempo increased he was able to maintain the gallop strongly on the bridle right the way into the straight and the way he was able to quicken and keep quickening right through the line, it was a great effort.” Now a five-year-old, Bold Soul was having his eighth start for the preparation and there might be more to come from the Plumpton-trained galloper who advanced his career earnings to A$644,975 with seven wins and six placings from 21 starts. “You seem to be able to do that (keep them up) when you’re training them from the farm,” stable representative Neil Greaves said. “It was a terrific ride from Mick Dee and we had the opportunity to put him on with the horse well down in weight (54.5kg). “It is a great result for the whole stable. “At this stage, I couldn’t see any reason to give him a spell. These type of horses, these races pop up every two or three weeks at Flemington and they’re worth really good money. I think the team’s view is that if he is fit and well, we might as well run him.” The Gr.3 Archer Stakes (2500m) at Flemington next month now looms as an option for the Kiwi import who has now had three wins and two placings at the premier Melbourne track from seven starts. Bold Soul was bred by Te Keeti Bloodstock and bought out of their Book 2 draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale by Hamish Auret for $20,000. He was a jump-out winner for the Wanganui horseman before his sale and relocation to Payne’s Victorian operation. Bold Soul is by Cambridge Stud stallion Embellish and out of the Irish-bred Singspiel mare Twin Soul, who was successful on three occasions up to 2400m. View the full article -

Steeplechasing sensation Jesko (NZ) (Atlante) made his debut over the big Riccarton fences a winning one when he triumphed in a three-way finish to Saturday’s Racecourse Hotel & Motor Lodge Koral Steeplechase (4250m). Unbeaten in his three steeplechase events to date, including victory in the Wellington Steeplechase (4900m) at Trentham last month, the Shaun and Hazel Fannin-trained eight-year-old was sent out at the microscopic quote of $1.30 in the Fixed Odds market for the traditional warm-up to the Racecourse Hotel & Motor Lodge Grand National Steeplechase (5600m) in seven days’ time. Punters who installed him as the raging hot favourite had no reason for concern through most of the journey as Fannin had him sitting in second behind free-going pacemaker Nedwin (NZ) (Niagara) with the topweight West Coast (NZ) (Mettre En Jeu) on his outer. The pressure went on with 800m to run as Jesko angled out of the trail to issue a challenge to Nedwin; however, it was relative outsider Captains Run who took advantage of that move to sneak through on the inner with two fences to clear. Captains Run (NZ) (Nom du Jeu) and Jesko set down to fight out the finish as West Coast threatened to join the pair at the last however Jesko cleared the fence in style before surging away in the run to the post to hit the line three lengths clear of Captains Run, with West Coast impressing under his 73kg impost to finish third. Hazel Fannin was delighted with the horse and the ride by her husband. “It was a beautiful ride, he travelled really well and it was that turn of foot at the end which made it so convincing,” Fannin said. “It was good to see going into next week. “We talked about it (race tactics) during the week and it was good to see Shaun followed them to the letter, so I’m very happy.” Shaun Fannin relayed he had always felt comfortable throughout the journey but did get a wake-up call when Captains Run joined in when the pressure went on. “It was a great finish and when we jumped Jumbo (second last fence) Captains Run sprinted quite quickly and we were flat for a couple of strides,” he said. “I think it shows his (Jesko) staying ability as he came off the bridle and found again late. “He caught the last fence super and came away nicely. “He can get pretty wound up before a race and this will bring him on nicely as well as having a look at those fences as he backed off a few. “When he got that competition he dug deep which is what you want to see. He found plenty late and he has always given the inkling he wants to go further, which is good for next week.” A son of Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) winner Atlante, Jesko was purchased by Fannin for just $3,300 off Gavelhouse.com in 2021 and has now won eight races from just 24 starts and over $202,000 in prizemoney. – View the full article
