Newitt impressed with Jenni | RACING.COM www.racing.com Pride Of Jenni's new race-day jockey Craig Newitt is bullish that the brilliant mare can return to her best this autumn. Speaking on Racing.com's Raceday Live on Thursday, having been announced as the multiple G1 winner's rider for her possible return to racing, Newitt said he was impressed with the feel the mare gave him in a piece of work on Tuesday. It was initially announced that Pride Of Jenni would be retired after she suffered a bleed in the G1 Champions Mile last November, but she returned to trainer Ciaron Maher's stable earlier this month after some foundation fitness work at owner Tony Ottobre's Mornington Peninsula property. Newitt rode the daughter of Pride Of Dubai when she ran second in the G2 Stocks Stakes in 2023, before Declan Bates took the reins and built his incredible association with the bold front-runner. "I've only had the one sit on her on race day, when she just fell short of Amelia's Jewel at Moonee Valley," Newitt said. "We all saw what she came out to do that preparation. "There are probably only two blemishes in her book so far and they were her last two, with genuine circumstances, so I think an enforced break and a little time on the sidelines has done her the world of good. "I rode her yesterday morning and I couldn't be happier. "You're pretty much a passenger when you ride her but she's pretty foolproof when she's right so she's going to be competitive in whatever she runs in." -

What Pakenham Races Where Southside Racing Pakenham – 420 Nar Nar Goon – Longwarry Rd, Tynong VIC 3810 When Thursday, February 13, 2025 First Race 5:45pm AEDT Visit Dabble Pakenham Racecourse hosts another Thursday night meeting this week, with showers expected as the evening progresses. The track was rated Good 4 early in the week and should remain in that range, despite a warm forecast with temperatures reaching a top of 36°C on raceday. The rail will be out 6m for the entire circuit, with the first race set to jump at 5:45pm AEDT. Best Bet at Pakenham: Mr Verse If Mr Verse is anywhere near his best, then the even money on offer with horse racing bookmakers looks like a great price. The three-year-old gelding has shown a strong turn of foot in each of his last two starts, losing by the barest of margins at Seymour before seemingly peaking on his run in a strong BM70 Saturday race at Sandown. The drop back in class and stepping down to 1600m looks like the perfect recipe for success for Mr Verse. Best Bet Race 8 – #6 Mr Verse (12) 3yo Gelding | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Blake Shinn (59kg) Next Best at Pakenham: Matawai Resuming from a five-month spell, the Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr)-trained Matawai looks to have found the perfect race to return a winner in. The four-year-old gelding has two wins and a second from three fresh runs, meaning she doesn’t take long to come to hand. The Derryn mare has warmed up with a handy enough Geelong trial win on January 29, and as long as Blake Shinn does not get caught wide without cover, Matawai should prove too hard to hold out. Next Best Race 7 – #1 Matawai (10) 4yo Mare | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Blake Shinn (59.5kg) Best Value at Pakenham: Mr Magnus Mr Magnus was a smart winner at the Pakenham 1100m on January 30 when overhauling his rivals late in Class 1 company. He faces a similar field on Thursday afternoon, and stepping up to the 1200m looks ideal for the son of Magnus. He was hitting the line with great intent last time out, and despite going up 1.5kg for this BM74 assignment, there is no reason he cannot salute once more. Best Value Race 3 – #2 Mr Magnus (11) 5yo Gelding | T: Robbie Griffiths | J: Ethan Brown (60kg) Thursday quaddie tips for Pakenham Pakenham quadrella selections February 13, 2025 1-2-3-6-8 5-9-11 1-2-10 2-6 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -

What 2025 Black Caviar Lightning Where Flemington Racecourse – Melbourne, Victoria When Saturday, February 15, 2025 Prizemoney $750,000 Distance 1000m Conditions Weight For Age 2024 winner Imperartiz (2) | T: Mark Walker | J: Opie Bosson (56.5kg) Visit Dabble The time-honoured Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning (1000m) headlines a stacked 10-race card at Flemington on Saturday afternoon. With $750,000 on the line, a field of 12 — including five Group 1 winners — will duke it out down the famous Flemington straight. With three superstar three-year-olds dominating the early Black Caviar Lighting betting, Saturday’s Group 1 could mark a changing of the guard in Australia’s sprinting ranks. That said, there are several talented older runners that are capable of springing something of an upset in Flemington’s first Group 1 of 2025. 2025 Black Caviar Lightning odds Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Switzerland has opened as a $2.90 favourite with horse racing betting sites for the 2025 Black Caviar Lightning. Fellow three-year-olds Growing Empire ($3.90) and Traffic Warden ($6.50) are seemingly the biggest danger to the favourite, while I Am Me ($8.50) is the only other runner at a single figure quote. Outside of Benedetta ($14), better than $21 is available for every other runner. 2025 Black Caviar Lightning speed map Former Hong Kong sprinter Joyful Fortune is expected to set a breakneck tempo in the 2025 Black Caviar Lightning. Behind him, the likes of Philosopher, Way To The Stars, Mornington Glory and Growing Empire will all look to take a sit just off the speed. I Am Me, Mazu and Switzerland will be aiming for a midfield position, while Benedetta, Traffic Warden, Stretan Angel and Skybird will be setting up to savage the line late from the rear of the field. Continue reading for HorseBetting’s top selections and $100 betting strategy for the 2025 Black Caviar Lightning. Black Caviar Lightning 2025 preview & form Growing Empire will need to overturn a 2.8-length deficit to Switzerland from the Coolmore Stud Stakes last spring, but the Zoustar colt looks perfectly placed to bring up a maiden Group 1 triumph. Despite this being his first 1000m start, the Ciaron Maher-trained sprinter is blessed with a high cruising speed and will be stalking the leaders throughout. Mark Zahra sticks on board, and he looks to be the key to getting the best out of Growing Empire, having partnered him to three wins from four engagements. Switzerland is a deserving favourite in the 2025 Black Caviar Lightning after dispatching his main rivals with relative ease when they last clashed. That was over 1200m, however, and considering his first-up run during the spring was an absolute stinker, he could be a bit of a risk. If he is at his best, he may just blow this field away, but at the $2.90 quote with BlondeBet, he is a favourite punters can bet around. There isn’t much splitting the top two in the market, and with Traffic Warden wanting a bit further than 1000m, the backend of trifectas and first-four bets seem like a bit of a lottery.

Another profitable meeting this Friday night by the look of it??? What Entain is doing is not going to be anywhere enough to keep harness racing anywhere near being able to break even. 8 races with the minimum stake at 15k up to $20k and they are going to be competing for the punting dollar with Addington?? No way should they be racing up against Addington as they just can not compete with the product that they dish up!! 8 races, 1 five horse field. 1 six horse field 5 seven horse fields 1 eight horse field so just over 50 horses that will race on prime night Friday? No business can operate like this and return a profit and HRNZ,Entain/TAB are delusional if they think they will be able to turn things around with what they are offering! It is going to take far more than chucking money into stakes and $4k breeding bonus. Yes negative and some will think things will improve and come right in time, but I would be wagering that they wouldnt be risking putting any of their own money in to bail them out! Anyone know what happened to the exciting news that ATC had re Franklin track a few months ago?
