Revera (f, 2, Lexitonian–Decoder, by War Front), second behind 'TDN Rising Star presented by Hagyard' Himika (Curlin) in the Oct. 19 Anoakia Stakes, got the better of that more-fancied rival with a determined victory in the Desi Arnaz Stakes at Del Mar Sunday. Bourbon and Ginger (Bolt d'Oro) set the pace, while tracked by 1-5 favorite Himika, with Revera parked three wide just to their outside through fractions of :22.80 and :45.94. The three fillies turned for home in a line and it was Bourbon and Ginger who blinked first, leaving Revera and Himika to battle head to head to the wire. Revera got the better of her rival late and was inching clear at the wire. Cosmic Heat (Maxfield) was third. Revera is the second stakes winner for her freshman sire (by Speightstown). She opened her career with a runner-up effort behind subsequent graded winner and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies runner-up Explora (Blame) sprinting 5 1/2 furlongs at Del Mar Aug. 17 before graduating with a 5 1/2-length victory over the same Sept. 6. She contested the pace in the six-furlong Anoakia Stakes before being overtaken and finishing 4 1/4 lengths adrift of Himika. Decoder, a full-sister to Grade I winner Data Link, has a yearling colt by Vino Rosso and was bred to Charge It this year. Lifetime Record: 4-2-2-0. O-Saints or Sinners, Titletown Racing Stable. B-Steven & Brandi Nicholson (Ky). T-John Sadler.

By Jonny Turner The Bowl A Bouncer Syndicate took a throw at the stumps and it keeps paying winning dividends. The ownership group enjoyed their second win in three weeks when Bowlem Over produced a strong victory for trainer Robin Swain and driver Matthew Williamson at Winton on Sunday. While he is clearly in brilliant form now, the six-year-old wasn’t at the top of his game through periods earlier this year. When it was clear that something needed investigating, the Bowl A Bouncer Syndicate weighed up their options and decided to do what was best for the horse. “He had a sinus issue and the vets had to go in and make a hole so it could drain,” syndicate member Jason McMath said. “Brendan Bell did the operation and they took 120ml of gunk out.” “There was a 50-50 chance of it working and the thought among the syndicate was that if it didn’t work and he wasn’t able to race at his best then it could still help him if he was retired as a hack.” “We just tried to do the right thing by the horse and luckily it has worked out.” It was Bowlem Over’s rivals who were gasping when he led throughout to score in a slick time of 2-56.8 for 2400m. The victory was the pacer’s seventh of his career with six coming with Williamson in the sulky. The Bowl A Bouncer Syndicate was formed during the 2015 Cricket World Cup and the group has enjoyed plenty of success since. “Bill McDonald got the group together, he’s a great mate of Robin’s and was his neighbour,” McMath said. “We have raced a few horses over the years and most of them have done a pretty good job.” Ownership is just one part of McMath’s interest in harness racing. McMath is a board member of Southern Harness who administer harness racing on behalf of Southland and Otago clubs. The Invercargill accountant is enjoying being able to contribute to the sport in the south. “It is great, it is a busy time of year with plenty of meetings on.” “But I am enjoying it and it gets me more involved in the sport.” McMath has another role in the industry, helping trainer Kirstin Green with her team. “I love that side of it, it is great to get out and be around the animals.” McMath has a share in one of the horses he works with at the Green stable in the highly talented trotter Mor Moonlight.

Group One performer Perfect Scenario has been retired following his unplaced run in the Gr.3 TAB Mile (1600m) at Riccarton last week. The eight-year-old son of Iffraaj has been a stable stalwart for Te Akau Racing’s southern base at Riccarton Park over the last couple of seasons and retires the winner of 11 of his 59 starts, with $570,000 in earnings. He was purchased by Te Akau Racing principal David Ellis out of Woburn Farm’s 2019 New Zealand Bloodstock Book 1 Yearling Sale draft for $165,000 and has given his syndicate members some great memories over the last few years. He started his career out of Te Akau’s Matamata base as a juvenile where he placed on debut. He returned as a three-year-old where he won his maiden first-up and doubled his tally at his next start before placing in the Gr.2 Waikato Guineas (2000m) later that season. He headed to the South Island as a five-year-old where he thrived, winning back-to-back editions of the Gr.3 White Robe Lodge Weight-For-Age (1600m) before finishing second in this year’s running. He also placed in the Listed Timaru Stakes (1400m), Gr.3 TAB Mile (1600m) and Gr.1 Mufhasa Classic (1600m), and was fourth in a Gr.1 Otaki-Maori Weight For Age Classic (1600m). Mark Walker, who trained Perfect Scenario in partnership with Sam Bergerson, said he was a key figure in their Riccarton barn and quickly became a stable favourite. “He was a great servant of the stable and so consistent year in and year out,” he said. “He became such a favourite of the stable and in particular he loved racing from our stable in the South Island where he had a great affinity with the tracks at Wingatui and Riccarton. “To have him retire as sound as the day he first arrived at the stables is great testament to all the staff that worked with him over the years. “He’ll have a really happy retirement and make into a lovely show horse.” Part-owner Michael Ormsby has fond memories racing Perfect Scenario and said he now deserves a great retirement. “He won 11 races and deserves every accolade he gets regarding his retirement,” Ormsby said. “He was a special racehorse and loved by everyone at the stables. He was honest to a tee, and after giving all his owners so many thrills I think it’s a good time to retire him while he’s sound and happy. “He’s too good a horse to continue racing when he’s probably just past his best now and especially when he’s carrying top weights because of the Group races he won. “He’s been a wonderful horse and everyone loved him. They’re special horses, the ones like Perfect Scenario.” View the full article -
