Applications are being taken for until January 31 for the TBA's Elite National Hunt Mares' Scheme for 2025. Backed by the Levy Board, the scheme offers increased grants of up to £4,500 to TBA full members who own jumps mares with a rating of 130+ or who have produced a runner rated 130+ (mare) or 140+ (gelding). Winners of black-type races are automatically qualified. “Britain has a high percentage of elite mares within its National Hunt broodmare ranks and this scheme provides a valuable incentive to TBA members who own such mares to cover them in Britain,” said the TBA's National Hunt Committee Chairman, Simon Cox “Increased Levy Board funding of the Elite Mares' Scheme allows us to continue this momentum in 2025. Grant values will increase, and more proven broodmares will qualify as we have equalised the rating bands criteria for broodmares and race mares. We are grateful to the Levy Board for their increased, and continued support of the scheme.” A list of the 24 eligible stallions and an application form can be found on the TBA website. Breeders can also call Rob Davey at the TBA on 01638 661321. As part of the initiative, stallion managers have put up a free nomination for all 24 stallions in the scheme and each nomination is offered as part of an online auction with all proceeds supporting key TBA National Hunt initiatives. That auction, which closes at 3pm on Friday, January 24, is now live and can be found via this link.

Miss Roumbini after winning the 2025 Magic Millions Fillies & Mares. Photo: Darren Winningham Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr have bounced back from their defeat earlier on the program at the Gold Coast to take out the Magic Millions Fillies & Mares with Miss Roumbini ($2.70). Ethan Brown allowed the daughter of Zoustar to settle where she was comfortable in the middle of the pack after jumping smartly from barrier three. Meanwhile, Burning Bell ($81) took up the lead and ran the race along at a solid tempo ahead of Infatuation ($8), Ningaloo Star ($41), and Bubba’s Bay ($7). Turning into the home straight, the leader took off and kicked clear from Bubba’s Bay, who chased gamely, and the race favourite with Dabble, Miss Roumbini, let down with her finishing burst. Bubba’s Bay took over with 100m to go, but it was only short-lived, as Miss Roumbini quickly gathered her up and kicked clear to win by a length, with Russian Alliance ($34) following the winner to finish in third place. Click here for every race replay of Magic Millions 2025 Mick Price spoke about Miss Roumbini’s victory in the post-race interview. “It was very short in the market, but he was very confident, my boy,” Price said. “How he (Brown) rode it was how he told me he’d ride it. He said he’d be midfield, but he was a little more forward. “She’s gutsy, isn’t she. “We’ve had her since she was a yearling bred by Yulong, and she needs a bit of time, but she’ll be a beautiful mare going forward. “The club has done a good job to get the whole thing back on its feet; night racing here is fantastic.” Ethan Brown picked up his first win at the Magic Millions carnival, and he was very happy to do it for the connections. “It is my first time riding up here for the Magic Millions carnival, and I’ve got great support off Mick Price tonight, and just pleased to repay him with a winner,” Brown said. “She’s a beauty, this horse. “She’s got such a big heart, and she tries hard. “She was under a lot of pressure then and just lucky she is genuine and she knows where the line is. “She seems to get the job done every time. “She landed in a lovely spot from a good gate. “I did look up and think, ‘geez they’ve got us off the bit a long way out’, but she knows where the line is and she pins her ears back and has a crack.” Horse racing news View the full article -

2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas winner, Bosustow. Photo: Darren Winningham The Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald-trained Bosustow ($14.00) has come with a withering burst to claim the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m) at the Gold Coast on Friday evening, securing the majority of the $3 million prize. The half-brother to Group 1-winning mare Amelia’s Jewel has been consistent without winning this time in, storming through the line in his most recent effort behind Give Me Space ($10.00) in the Group 3 Vo Rogue Plate (1300m) at Eagle Farm on December 28. The son of Blue Point was able to turn the tables on Friday night, courtesy of a perfectly rated steer by Joshua Parr, sitting quietly behind a moderate tempo throughout the 1400m journey. The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Catoggio ($16.00) was the lamplighter throughout the contest, with Tim Clark sending the Written Tycoon gelding to front from barrier 17, leaving the likes of Street Chase ($10.00) and Arriving Home ($21.00) to settle in the ideal stalking position just in behind the speed. The favoured pair with horse racing bookmakers, Tuileries ($4.80) and Bauhinia ($7.00) were never truly in the contest, unable to sprint off the muddling tempo after settling towards the rear of the field. It was all honours to the winner in the end, however, as Bosustow fended off Give Me Space to score only his second win at start 12, injected a massive prize money boost for connections. Click here for every race replay of Magic Millions 2025 Annabel Neasham was on course on the Gold Coast to dissect the win. “Very well-bred colt and a great bunch of owners and I’m thrilled for them all because he’s been a bit of a bridesmaid,” said Neasham. “He was group one-placed up here behind Broadsiding and he was probably a bit unlucky to not win during Melbourne Cup Week and he’s always been there and thereabouts. “We knew he had a big one in him and we’re delighted to get that tonight on a special evening. “I was a little bit worried that he was three-wide but he was in the perfect spot in the end. Timed to perfection by Josh (Parr) and I could see that he had a lapful of horse on the corner. “I galloped him in blinkers at Doomben last week and he was very wound up before he galloped so I got a bit nervous about putting them on so I went halfway with the winkers. Happily it has paid off.” Joshua Parr spoke post-race and was thrilled with the result after the postponement of the Magic Millions meeting last Saturday. “I was grumpy when we had to go home last week and come back, but mood has certainly switched now,” joked Parr. “I went to Brisbane specifically to ride him last start. I was happy to pick up the ride that day and I wanted to stick with him. “There were a few things that didn’t go his way. He was quite fresh and it was a hot, humid day and he got quite restless and agitated in the barrier and missed the start. “Today, he was the ultimate professional and sat midfield, three-wide with cover and his turn-of-foot was incredible and challenged late. “He remained strong the last bit. He’s a real professional, still progressing and I like him.” Horse racing news View the full article -

West Of Africa after winning the 2025 Magic Millions Cup. Photo: Darren Winningham Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald have taken out the Magic Millions Cup with West Of Africa ($15), who flashed home down the middle of the track to claim victory in the 1400m contest. Weigall Tiger ($9.50) led the field up with Moravia ($8) and went at a solid clip, while Flying Trapeze ($19) received the run of the race behind the leaders. Tyler Schiller settled the son of Not A Single Doubt at the rear of the field after jumping from barrier 18 of 18, and they gave their rivals a massive start. Turning for home, the race favourite with horse racing bookmakers, Charm Stone ($4.80), idled up to the leaders before taking over; however, the winner was letting down with big bounds in the heart of the track. By the time they went past the 100m mark, the winner went straight past Charm Stone, leaving the Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained mare to settle for second place ahead of the fast-finishing Chrysaor ($21). Click here for every race replay of Magic Millions 2025 Annabel Neasham spoke about West Of Africa’s victory post-race. “He drew the car park, but Tyler, he’s the most positive jockey there is,” Neasham said. “He came out and said, ‘I love the draw for the horse.’ “He flopped out the back and I was a little bit worried that he was detached compared to his first-up run when he was a bit further back than perhaps he has been, but he’s got a fantastic turn of foot, and it was a nice, cool ride by Tyler. “I thought he might try and sneak up the rail, but we’d spoken before that he’s better coming around horses, and it never really looked in doubt when he straightened. “We’ve had this horse for a long time, and big credit to OTI when they put their trust in me when he was online, and I said ‘let’s buy him, I want to keep him in the stable.’ “He’s a big, powerful horse and this was about the most relaxed when he was saddling up. “He was so relaxed behind the barrier, and I wasn’t sure if that was a good or a bad thing. Fortunately, it was a good thing.” Following his second win at the Gold Coast, Tyler Schiller was very happy with the win post-race. “He’s done a great job, the horse. I love the team and Annabel and Rob’s and they’ve always supported me well,” Schiller said. “He was very good, especially down in the light weights for a horse going down from top weights to bottom weights, it makes a difference. “He defied the pattern coming from last, coming down the middle. “I was out the back, and I knew that they were going quick enough. “I said to Annabel if we’re midfield, three-deep with cover, they’re probably not going all that quick. “But we were out the back and I was in a nice, off-the-bridle rhythm and when he started picking up off the 600, I let him take me there around the outside and he just did the rest. “He’s got a lovely big extended stride and a great turn of foot on him.” Horse racing news View the full article
