Odds Bookmakers News Field Past Winners CS Hayes Stakes Group Three Betting Guide Date: Saturday, February 15, 2025 Location: Flemington Racecourse – Melbourne, Victoria Prize Money: $200,000 Distance: 1400m The CS Hayes Stakes is a Group 3 race for three-year-old colts and geldings, run over 1400m under set weights and penalties at Flemington. Conducted by the Victoria Racing Club, it was first held in 1986 as The Debonair, before being renamed the CS Hayes Stakes in 2008 to honour legendary trainer Colin Hayes. A key lead-up to the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m), The CS Hayes Stakes has been a Group 3 since 2001. The 2024 CS Hayes Stakes, worth $200,000, was won by Riff Rocket, defeating King Colorado and Verdad. Riff Rocket became the latest Group 1 Victoria Derby (2500m) winner to claim the CS Hayes, following Mahogany back in 1994. Eight horses have completed the CS Hayes/Australian Guineas double, including Zabeel (1990), Mahogany (1994), and Alligator Blood (2020). 2025 CS Hayes Stakes betting odds Riff Rocket ridden by Craig Williams winning the 2024 CS Hayes Stakes.

The Chris Waller-trained gelding stormed home under jockey James McDonald, defeating King Colorado and Verdad in a thrilling finish. Settling midfield, Riff Rocket unleashed a powerful late surge down the straight to notch his first win since his Derby triumph. His performance cemented him as a leading contender for the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m), where he would attempt to join an elite list of three-year-olds to complete the double. 2023: Elliptical returns a winner After a 105-day spell it was the Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained colt Elliptical who proved too classy in the 2023 edition of the CS Hayes Stakes. After finishing his spring campaign in the Group 1 Champions Stakes where he wasn’t disgraced against the older horses. His form against his age group came to the fore this time as his runner-up finishes in the Spring Champions Stakes and Caulfield Guineas prior to that saw Elliptical finally get a well-deserved stakes win. Blake Shinn had no choice but to go back from the wide draw and get cover on the son of Dundeel before executing a perfectly-timed ride to secure victory in a blanket finish. He’s Heaven was the pacemaker along with Tasmanian raider Bello Beau, who set a genuine tempo throughout the 1400m contest. Gallopers made their runs from everywhere with 400m to go as Elliptical proved the best to secure the win by a head. 2022: Pinstriped remains undefeated The Enver Jusufovic-trained Pinstriped made it a hat-trick of wins to claim the Group 3 C.S. Hayes Stakes (1400m) at Flemington. The unbeaten gelding started favourite for the event after pre-race favourite Lightsaber was scratched at the barriers. Jockey Michael Dee had the son of Street Boss in a midfield position early in the race. They had a lot of work to do after straightening though, as the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained Pascero was also looking for a hat-trick of wins and looked likely to do that after kicking well clear in the early part of the straight. Pascero tired late though and Pinstriped charged home to pounce on the colt in the shadows of the post.

Auckland Classics await promising Wairarapa gelding Skippers Canyon (NZ) (Belardo) following his pleasing trial at Foxton on Tuesday. The Belardo gelding was runner-up to Group Three performer Beavertown Boy in their 1600m heat, and his performance was to the satisfaction of trainer Jim Wallace. “I was happy with him,” Wallace said. “He had a few days off after his last run and he has had a bit of an easy time, so he needed a good hit-out today, which he got. He had a good blow afterwards and I am happy with where he is at.” Bred by Wallace under his Ardsley Stud banner, Skippers Canyon was initially raced by the Opaki horseman until last month when he was sold to Australian syndicator OTI Racing prior to his fourth placed run in the $350,000 Remutaka Classic (2100m) at Trentham. “I thought his run (in the Remutaka Classic) was enormous,” Wallace said. “His sectionals were absolutely brilliant and from where he came from to where he got was very encouraging looking forward to a mile-and-a-half.” That mile-and-a-half target will be the Gr.2 Eagle Technology Avondale Guineas (2400m) at Ellerslie on February 22, a fortnight ahead of his final run in New Zealand in the Gr.1 Trackside New Zealand Derby (2400m) on Champions Day at Ellerslie. “He will go to the Avondale Guineas,” Wallace said. “If he can win it that would be great, but he won’t be fully wound up for it. The Derby is the end game, but he has got to go and have a look around Ellerslie. “We are very happy with the horse.” Following the New Zealand Derby, Skippers Canyon will head to Sydney where a tilt at the Gr.1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) and Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m) await. Meanwhile, stablemate Merkel (NZ) (Reliable Man) also pleased Wallace with her second placing in her 1000m heat, with the daughter of Reliable Man making quite the impression on her trainer. “I am absolutely delighted with her,” Wallace said. “She hasn’t done anything for a long time, she had a couple of accidents. “She blew out of puff in the last 100m (of the trial) and had a good blow and she will come on from that, we are happy with her. “I will just see how she pulls up to where we go, but I think she is very high class. I think she is right up there as one of the better ones that I have had.” View the full article -

Town Cryer (NZ) (Tavistock) will have an opportunity to better last year’s runner-up finish in the Gr.1 HKJC World Pool New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) next month, in what will be the penultimate start to her final racing campaign. The seven-year-old daughter of Tavistock has accumulated eight wins and over $550,000 in stakes earnings in a 39 start-career, with most of her success coming in the last two seasons. A two-time Group Three winner, Town Cryer finished second to Belclare (NZ) (Per Incanto) in last year’s running of the Breeders’, and more recently, she came within a long neck of the winner (Provence (NZ) (Savabeel)) in the Gr.1 Thorndon Mile (1600m). With the end of a brilliant career looming, her trainer Roydon Bergerson is looking forward to heading back to Ellerslie after the mare stuck on bravely to finish eighth in the Gr.2 Westbury Classic (1400m) last start on Karaka Millions Night. “We may just wait for the Breeders with her, we’re mulling it over with the owners,” he said. “She may have a quiet trial in between times and go back to the Breeders instead of the Otaki race (Gr.1, 1600m), we had Gryllsy (Craig Grylls) to ride her but now with Orchestral (NZ) (Savabeel) in, we’re more likely to miss that and concentrate on the Breeders. “It was a good run the other day, but it was just frustrating that they took her on. I did feel as though we shouldn’t be having three-kilo claiming apprentices riding in races on our biggest night, with the world watching. Our industry is trying to bring up the standard of racing here to a global level and having kids on horses in high-pressure races does not reflect that. “But Craig Williams (jockey) was full of praise for the horse, he said she was really strong in the last 100m. We had a go because it was a $700,000 fillies and mares race and we knew it would be a battle going back to the 1400m, she is better at a mile. “After the Breeders’, her swansong will probably be the Awapuni Gold Cup (Gr.2, 2100m). It’s definitely her last prep.” Meanwhile, Bergerson welcomed his class filly Too Sweet (NZ) (Satono Aladdin) back into the stable on Tuesday. Too Sweet won the Gr.2 Eclipse Stakes (1200m) convincingly on New Year’s Day and was among the favourites for the Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m), but after drawing the outside barrier, the filly never got her chance in the $1 million feature. “She has come back into the stable and she looks really well, she’d been down spelling at Chris Rutten’s (part-owner) for 10 days and he worked her around the farm for a couple of days,” he said. “I was a bit disappointed about the ride in the Millions and the jockey was the first to admit that, you expect to be up the front and you’re five wide last, it’s mission impossible. “It may sound like sour grapes, but the structure of the barrier draws was also disappointing. Our filly was the top qualifier for the race and didn’t get a look in, the owner just had to take the last barrier and she was virtually ruled out of contention from that point. “I’m not sure how they could make this change, but it’s certainly something that should be taken into consideration going forward. “When it’s the race you plan for, it’s a tough one to take, but that’s racing.” Pressing on in her juvenile campaign, Bergerson is contemplating a return to Ellerslie for the Gr.1 Sistema Stakes (1200m) on Champions Day or staying closer to home for the Gr.1 Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) later in March. “We’ll probably give her a quiet trial at Waipukurau in a couple of weeks’ time, then decide whether to go to the Sistema or the Sires,” he said. “She’s pretty laidback and not a hard going filly.” Another Trentham feature is on the radar of Wingman (NZ) (Swiss Ace), a promising three-year-old who defeated star filly Leica Lucy (NZ) (Derryn) over 1400m at the course in early December. The son of Swiss Ace returned to the trials at Foxton on Tuesday, pleasing Bergerson as he begins preparing for a shot at the Gr.2 Wellington Guineas (1400m) on March 22. “He showed me exactly what I wanted to see, I’m trying to get him ready for the Wellington Guineas so a nice quiet trial was all he needed,” he said. “He may have a three-year-old race now or go back to the trials, but he goes pretty well fresh and he’s pulled up super. I couldn’t be happier with him.” A familiar face gearing up for the softer tracks is Bradman (NZ) (Pins), a model of consistency in Bergerson’s stable who won the Listed Flying Handicap (1400m) in April last year. He went on to record placings in the Listed City Of Napier Sprint (1200m), Listed AGC Training Stakes (1600m) and Gr.3 Winter Cup (1600m). “He’s waiting for the tracks to get a bit softer again, he’s a horse that gets badly down on his heels and the firm tracks don’t really suit him,” Bergerson said. “He’s such a versatile horse, he can go 1.10 or 1.20 over 1200m, he’s just so tough and loves racing. He’s a real character and I’m looking forward to his prep, it’ll probably be his last winter as well. “He’s been in for about six weeks and he’s coming up super.” View the full article -

We realise @Huey that you are a strong proponent of "in-breeding" and can count to 12 using the fingers on your two hands so you must be bitterly disappointed that none of the 12 are by NZ bred sires. That's a good sign in my opinion that new blood is being introduced into NZ Thoroughbred breeding. Although in saying that the three Snitzel colts are going places and will likely be lost to NZ.
