    • It’s 12 months to the day since Lucky With You ended a long winning drought in The TVB Cup (1,200m) and Luke Ferraris is optimistic history can repeat at Sha Tin on Saturday. Frankie Lor Fu-chuen’s consistent galloper relished dropping back from Group One company to strike in the race last year, before backing it up at his next start to notch back-to-back victories. Last year’s TVB Cup was a Class One but Saturday is an extended Class Two, which will be Lucky With You’s first start in the grade...View the full article
    • The 41st Asian Racing Conference (ARC) closed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Thursday night with New Zealand announced as the host of the 42nd ARC in 2028. Mr Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, Chair, Asian Racing Federation and Chief Executive Officer, The Hong Kong Jockey Club, hailed the Conference in Riyadh as an enduring success which highlighted the sport’s greatest opportunities and also its challenges. Praising the work of the Conference host, the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia and His Royal Highness Prince Bandar bin Khalid Al Faisal, and the ARC Organising Committee, Mr Engelbrecht-Bresges said the ARC’s discussions reiterated the importance of increased collaboration and new technology as key motivators in safeguarding the sport’s future. “If there is one message that cuts across all our discussions, it is this: the future of horse racing is under threat and can only be secured by working together to address the key challenges we face,” Engelbrecht-Bresges said. The ceremony was crowned by the official exchange of the ARC flag to New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, host of the 42nd ARC in Auckland in 2028. View the full article
    • Stakes winning juvenile De Armas has been sold to OTI Racing and will soon join the stable of Chris Waller in Sydney. The daughter of Ardrossan won two of her three starts for trainer Johno Benner with her most recent effort being a luckless fourth in the Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m) after enduring a wide passage throughout, yet still savaging the line. A five length winner on debut, De Armas won the Listed Counties Challenge Stakes (1100m) at her second start before her run in the Karaka Millions. “OTI have been interested in her the whole way through, but post Karaka Millions, we decided to sell her early, simple as that,” Benner said. “She goes to Chris Waller and she will head to Australia on Sunday. “They’ve got to train-on as three-year-olds, but she’s definitely very good and a lovely filly to have around, but money talks at the end of the day. “She’s got a great brain and hopefully she acquits herself really well in Australia.” Benner secured De Armas from the 2025 New Zealand Bloodstock National Online Yearling Sale for just $16,000 when sold by Elsdon Park. Respected bloodstock agent Phill Cataldo was delighted to secure De Armas for successful syndicators OTI. “When you look at her performances, every time she has been out she has shown real brilliance,” Cataldo said. “She had three trials, one before she raced and the other two between runs and blitzed them on all three occasions. “She spaced them on debut, then two months later won easily at Listed level going right handed for the first time. “The rub of the green went against her in the Karaka Millions, covering ground but she was still good enough to run the fastest closing 400m and 200m sectionals, which was a top performance under the circumstances. “To me she is the best two-year-old filly going forward. Her athleticism and scope excites me, as does the physical improvement she has to come. “She’s a class act with a great stride and bombproof temperament. “I see her as an ideal filly for the Princess Series in Sydney in the Spring. No doubt she will run 1600m and possibly further. “She has been magnificently prepared by Johno Benner and now goes to Chris Waller, so from one top trainer to another. I’m sure she will represent OTI and the NZ suffix with distinction.” View the full article
