Already a two-time Group 1 winner Regaleira (Suave Richard) is aiming for her third crown in Sunday's G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Kyoto. The Sunday Racing colourbearer will face 15 rivals and carries the mantle of market favouritism in advance of the big day. Leaving from post seven under Keta Tosaki, the four-year-old filly has a Hopeful Stakes score versus males in her win column at two, and defeated them again in last December's Arima Kinen over 2500 metres. She warmed up for this contest with a victory going this trip at Nakayama in the G2 Sankei Sho All Comers Stakes in September. Said assistant trainer Yu Ota, “She looks well in her coat, and her preparation has gone well. Her reactions have improved as the race gets closer, and she's done some good work in training, so she should be just right for the race itself.” Second choice in the wagering is the G3 Fairy Stakes heroine Erika Express (Epiphaneia). Slotted in stall six next to the favourite, Masahiro Miki's three-year-old is coming off a career high performance when she ran second at this venue in the 2000-metre G1 Shuka Sho on October 19. Yutaka Take has ridden four QEII Cup heroines from 2001-2004 in To The Victory, Fine Motion, and dual winner Admire Groove. “When I rode her in training before, she was quite straightforward, and she moves well,” said legendary rider Take. “This time in work, she moved quicker than I thought. She was quite tense before her last race, however. The rhythm she finds in the race this time will be important, particularly with the extra furlong.” Also coming back from the Shuka Sho is the third-place finisher Paradis Reine (Kizuna). Racing for Makio Okada, the G3 Flower Cup runner-up was also fourth in the G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) in May. Mirai Iwata will be at the controls, and they will break from the inside gate. Trainer Teruhiko Chida said, “She was a bit tired after her last race, where she really showed a lot of power, so she's had a couple of easy weeks at the stable to recover from that run and get over her tiredness. Regarding the race this time, it's on the outer course, which I feel makes it easier, but we'll have to see how she handles the race overall.” The intriguing Lynx Tip is third choice in the advance markets and has been handed the widest draw of all. The daughter of Kitasan Black also bears the Sunday Racing Silks, and she was third in the G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) this spring. Although she has yet to win from four starts this season, she would be her sire's fourth top-level winner. His Ravel was runner-up in this race last year. Assistant trainer Kazuki Nitta said, “She's developing nicely, and is in good shape with the work we've given her. We're very pleased with the way she's moving and the times she's posted. The outer course at Kyoto is good for her, and with her flexibility, there's no problem getting into the flow of a race.” Part of the older brigade is 2024 Oka Sho heroine Stellenbosch (Epiphaneia). Although at one time Katsumi Yoshida's runner filled the frame in five consecutive appearances at the top level, she has yet to finish better than eighth in three starts this year. However, she does have the services of Christophe Lemaire and the duo will break from post two.

Saturday, Krefeld, Germany, post time: 14:30, GROSSER PREIS DER RONDO FOOD GMBH & CO. KG – HERZOG VON RATIBOR-RENNEN-G3, €55,000, 2yo, 8 1/2fT Field: Lommi (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}), Zuender (Ger) (Amaron {GB}), Abachi (Ger) (Japan {GB}), Nariman (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Nitaro (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), True Lion (Ger) (Amaron {GB}). TDN Analysis: Standard-setters Lommi and Zuender are at an instant disadvantage, with their extra kilo for placing behind the country's generation leader Gostam in the G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten and G3 Zukunfts-Rennen, respectively. The former was further away from their exciting peer in the Cologne feature, with Zuender going on to run second in Italy's G3 Gran Criterium. Of the others, Abachi has a Listed placing having run second in Hanover's Youngster Steher Cup and drops back in trip. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Kyoto, Japan, post time: 15:40, QUEEN ELIZABETH II CUP-G1, ¥252,980,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 2200mT Field: Paradis Reine (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Stellenbosch (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), Shinryokuka (Jpn) (Satono Diamond {Jpn}), Kana Tape (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Safira (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}), Erika Express (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), Regaleira (Jpn) (Suave Richard {Jpn}), Vermicelles (Jpn) (Gold Ship {Jpn}), Bond Girl (Jpn) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}), Sekitoba East (Jpn) (Declaration Of War), Verehrung (Jpn) (Gold Ship {Jpn}), Lilac (Jpn) (Orfevre {Jpn}), Coconuts Brown (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Kelly Fled Ask (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}), Aurora X (Jpn) (Satono Diamond {Jpn}), Lynx Tip (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}). TDN Analysis: Dual Group 1 winner Regaleira could easily boss this field, and just won the G2 Sankei Sho All Comers Stakes in September. Japanese 1000 Guineas victress Stellenbosch needs to show a spark here, as she has been out of the top three in her previous starts this year. Several fillies return from the G1 Shuka Sho field, among them the second and third in G3 Fairy Stakes heroine Erika Express and Paradis Reine. Kana Tape, a winner of the 1600-metre G3 Sekiya Kinen two back in record time, might find the QEII Cup real estate a bridge too far. Click here for the complete fields.

Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress) took another confident step towards the Longines Hong Kong International Races (HKIR) as he dashed well clear of a batch of top-class operators in a barrier trial at Sha Tin on Friday. The world’s top-rated sprinter broke well and ran keenly before surging down the 1200m dirt straight in a brisk 1m 10.19s under regular rider Zac Purton. The run provided a final tune-up before the HK$5.35 million Gr.2 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint (1200m) at Sha Tin on 23 November. It was a commanding display from the five-year-old, who has won 14 consecutive races. Ominously for rivals targeting his HK$28 million Gr.1 Longines Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) crown on 14 December, handler David Hayes believes Ka Ying Rising has improved since conquering the AU$20 million (approx. HK$101 million) Gr.1 The Everest (1200m) in October. “It was an upper-class trial with some of Hong Kong’s best horses and he did what he does,” Hayes said. “A lot of horses … who have had these international trips come back better if they’ve handled it well. I think he has, and I’m actually confident that the trip has brought him on.” The outing was the five-time Group One-winner’s first trial since his return from Royal Randwick in Sydney, Australia, where he confirmed his credentials as racing’s best sprinter with a convincing win in the world’s most valuable turf race. Purton said his enthusiasm was obvious. “He’s very fresh. He’s very eager to get on with things – he’s probably going 10 per cent keen,” the 42-year-old said. “He trialled well, so that’ll take the stuffing out of him a little bit and he can relax now until race day.” View the full article -
I think Walt was pretty crook , and had returned to his native Nelson from Auckland after an absence of some years, to enjoy memories from the past that he kindly shared with us here for a time. seemed a kind and knowledgeable bloke. Hesi was just reflecting on several regular posters at forums over the years that had passed in recent times. I guess we have quite an aged cohort , so mostly quite a few are battling health issues. Condolences to the family and friends of Gary Williams. that was a long article on him that you referred to on the HRNZ with his sudden passing . he had quite a history. Lately = A member of the ATC race night Steward team that helped with the co-ordination of syndicates, winning owners and trainers and the like on race nights. I don't recall 'TAB 4 Ever' mentioning these activities so feel he is different person ?, but did race in both codes as Mr Williams did in Syndicates and the like (including Changeover in the Cup for Mr Williams ) many folk do race both codes of horses, and one friend I write to, and was competing with in on-line racing comp's in NZ , does have current very handy trotters in the North Island, and also shares in Te Akau gallopers as well. So I think this type of owner is not uncommon in NZ. Is great these type of blokes supporting the racing scene and wish them well.
