Yes, they have had that date for many years but in the past they have shared it with other clubs. The most recent was Te Rapa up to about 10 years ago and from memory Riccarton has also raced on that day in the past. Holidays are no longer the guaranteed windfall as many years ago. Trentham and Awapuni used to race on the Wellington Anniversary Day and they both dropped this day some time ago. On 3 January this year Trentham raced in front of very small crowd even though they were part of "The Grand Tour" On 2 January many thousands drove up the Hutt Valley past Trentham to attend Tauherenikau and had no intention of attending Trentham the next day. Hawkes bay used to race on 1 January, and their crowds dropped off so they moved to an earlier day. -

Last Saturday’s Gr.2 David & Karyn Ellis Fillies Classic (2100m) has proved a fork in the road for a pair of Andrew Forsman-trained fillies earmarked for Oaks ambitions. The race was won impressively by the Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott-trained Ohope Wins (NZ) (Ocean Park), who swamped Forsman’s gallant runner-up Single Red (NZ) (Vanbrugh) late in the piece. While Single Red is set to renew her rivalry with Ohope Wins in the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Ellerslie on February 21, it was an end of prep run for well-regarded stablemate Chilling Out (NZ) (Savabeel), who raced ungenerously throughout to finish tenth. “Chilling Out raced like a horse that’s just come to the end of it for this season,” Forsman’s Racing Manager Joe Walker said. “We really do like her and we think with a good spell now, we’re going to reap the benefits with her as a four-year-old and onwards. “Single Red was a super effort on Saturday. She’s a nice progressive filly, and we will still be heading to the Oaks. It was a strong run considering she was stepping up to 2000m for the first time. “They went hard enough and she was exposed quite quickly into the straight, so she probably had every right to knock-up. It’s taken a very good one to beat her, but we are impressed by her effort and looking forward to the Oaks.” Fresh from riding his 100th Group One winner on Saturday, star jockey Opie Bosson will take the reins on Single Red in the Oaks, taking over from Bruno Queiroz. Four-year-old mare Hinekaha (NZ) (Savabeel) finished sixth in the Gr.1 Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) won by Legarto, with the Forsman stable believing the consistent mare is best suited over a mile. “She jumped so well, she led and the pressure just went on, maybe a little bit too early for her,” Walker said. “She’s seen out a strong mile and maybe 2000m is not quite the distance this time around but that is not to say she won’t get there in time.” Quality mare Mary Shan (NZ) (Almanzor) will have the addition of headgear this weekend as she looks to add further black-type in the Listed Lisa Chittick Champagne Stakes (1400m) at Matamata on Saturday. “We’re going to put blinkers on,” Walker said. “We thought her run the other day at Ellerslie was very good (when third on Karaka Millions night). She just hit that flat spot turning for home and picked herself up and was up on the winner’s heels as they crossed the line.” There are also still cards to play for a pair of the stable’s highly-rated two-year-olds, with Lassified (Stay Inside) returning from Sydney after racing with little luck in the Inglis Millennium, while debut winner Stromlinien (NZ) (Almanzor) has had a brief break after her tenth placing in the Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m). “Lassified flew home on Monday, so she’s going to have a week in the paddock and then we’ll reassess,” Walker said. “There are some nice black-type options later on in the season. We were happy with her effort on Saturday. The race just didn’t quite work out, we couldn’t land in a handy position and she was amongst them for the first time in her racing career. She picked herself up and found the line well, considering and the Sistema Stakes (Gr.1, 1200m) on Champions Day could be an option for her. “Stromlinien had a little break after Karaka Millions night. It was only her second start and the lack of raceday experience showed on that occasion. She had a week in the paddock after the race but she’s back in work now. She’s in good order and she’ll be aimed at Manawatu Sires’ Produce (Gr1., 1200m) at Trentham in March. View the full article -

David Hayes was left suitably impressed as Ka Ying Rising routed his rivals in a barrier trial ahead of his date with destiny in the Group One Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1,400m) at Sha Tin on Sunday week. The world’s best sprinter is aiming to surpass the legendary Silent Witness by winning his 18th race on the spin when he tackles the second leg of the Hong Kong Speed Series and his trial on Tuesday morning went off without a hitch. Initially travelling second, Ka Ying Rising strode into the...View the full article -
