King Of Roseau ridden by Michael Dee wins the Aurie’s Star Handicap at Flemington. (Photo: Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) King Of Roseau has announced himself as a future Flemington regular after a commanding 1.5-length victory in Saturday’s Group 3 Aurie’s Star Handicap (1200m). Trainer Peter Snowden believes the gelding’s growing affinity for the famous straight six will shape his spring program, calling the performance “a dominant win that proves he enjoys the place.” The four-year-old son of Written Tycoon had already hinted at his Flemington prowess when third to Growing Empire and First Settler in last September’s Poseidon Stakes. A return to a Good surface and the decision to geld him over summer have unlocked a new level of determination according to Snowden. “He’s always had talent, but since we cut him he’s found his grit and kept stepping up through the grades,” the trainer said. Michael Dee, fresh from a two-month stint in Japan and a European holiday, guided King Of Roseau to his fourth career win and third at Group level. Settled near the tail, Dee angled the $3.40 chance with horse racing bookmakers toward the outside rail at the 300m and unleashed a sharp sprint that quickly put the race to bed. “The feel he gave me suggests there are bigger targets ahead,” the 15-time Group 1 rider said after completing a dream double that started with Bold Soul earlier in the day. Splash Back, the $2.60 favourite, trailed King Of Roseau throughout but failed to match the winner’s burst, finishing fifth. Outsider Bandi’s Boy ($31) ran on for second, a length clear of Marble Nine ($5.50). Snowden is already eyeing Flemington’s straight-track lead-ups to the Group 1 Champions Sprint in November, with the Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality (1200m) and Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1200m) logical next steps. “Not every horse takes to the straight, but this bloke clearly does, so we’ll be back,” he said. The Aurie’s Star has a habit of launching spring campaigns. Right To Party parlayed last year’s win into Gilgai success, while The Astrologist (2021) went on to multiple Group 1 placings at home and abroad. King Of Roseau now has the chance to join that honour roll – and, if Saturday is any guide, Flemington hasn’t seen the last of him. 2025 Group 3 Aurie’s Star Handicap Replay – King Of Roseau https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Flemington-2025-Group-3-Auries-Star-Handicap-02082025-King-Of-Roseau-Peter-Snowden-Michael-Dee.mp4 Horse racing news View the full article -

Elson Boy toughs it out in testing conditions to win at Rosehill. (Photo: bradleyphotos.com.au) Dubbo-trained Elson Boy was back in the winner’s circle after a 412-day absence when leading throughout at Rosehill in the hands of apprentice William Stanley. Prepared by Dar Lunn, the six-year-old son of El Roca relished the testing conditions and pushed forward under Stanley. Challenged mid-stretch by well-supported favourite Captain Furai, Elson Boy showed the benefit of recent racing as he repelled the threat of the fresh-up rival to score comfortably. A drenched Lunn had the biggest smile on course and will now plot a path to the $2 million The Kosciuszko (1200m) on October 18, a race the gelding finished ninth in last year. “He was up there on the outside and was probably three and four deep until he crossed at the top of the corner. When he got across he travelled and I thought ‘he will be hard to beat from here’ because of the conditions,” Lunn said. With 10 career wins from 31 starts, Elson Boy has now amassed $501,675 in prizemoney for his connections. Prior to his run of outs, Elson Boy had won six races in succession, where Lunn said the gelding thrived on a dog-fight. “That’s what he did when he won his six straight,” Lunn said. “He is the type of horse that is in for the fight and he is a better horse deep into his preparation. “He also loves a Heavy track. “I did wonder after his first couple of starts this prep whether he would come back, but he’s going to be right from here.” Horse racing news View the full article -
