You do have to realise there are heaps of 3yos about in the north. You only have to look at this Sunday. Fields of 8,8 and 9 accepted in the three 3yo races. Probably 7 or so will go around in each, so more than enough to justify another $100,000 of industry money. Only four 3yo races scheduled for slot day, plus a WFA 2,000m for those who fancy a 2,000m race, and an open 1,200m for the sprinting 3yos. So only six opportunities for 3yos on the day. Should easily get 7 or 8 for each race. Probably a chance for some maidens to race for decent money as well. -
You don't really get the point Chief. In the SI the races aren't programmed in the first place. It is not a matter of boosting nominations.

yeah , I'm for stands being banned altogether . the mobile gets them all away lovely. It's just too costly for the owner to not even be in the race from a stand. And Punters have Already' left the sport ' in droves and wouldn't touch them with any serious money. not worth the risk. Regan Todd doing well there with Sky Rocket too in race 8 . A very nice winner at $11.00 here. won well it's last start too. a Tenner ew keeps the wolves away for the weekend too lol. I hope he gives that Aldebaran Crystal trotter from r7 away to someone else though lol. 🤣 He should keep ALL his home Stalls/barns just with race winning prospects, as is a jolly good Trainer. Wonder if Robbie Close works with him at home ? -

The Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young trained Emphasize (NZ) (Embellish) has rocketed into Gr.1 New Zealand Derby contention with an emphatic victory at Sale on Thursday. The lightly tried son of resident Cambridge Stud sire Embellish had finished a debut third on the course over 1400 metres prior to Christmas and he relished the next step up to 1717 metres, waltzing home by four lengths. Emphasize was forced to cover plenty of extra ground in his victory romp with a performance that now has him the $8 second favourite for the Derby. Rider Thomas Stockdale has been aboard the three-year-old in both of his outings and said the best has yet to come from the gelding, who carries the colours of OTI Racing. “He was ever so strong and will continue to improve.” Emphasize was caught four wide early after jumping from the outside gate before he slotted in one off close to the pace. He pulled out early to improve three wide and strode to the front halfway down the straight to thump his older rivals. “The tempo was okay before the leader backed off going to the 1000 metre mark and my bloke has such a big stride that I let him roll,” Sadler said. Bred by Yarrawonga Racing, Emphasize was bought out of Castle Hill Farm’s draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Weanling Sale by Inglewood Stud for $5000. He was subsequently purchased for $75,000 by OTI, Busuttin Racing and Phill Cataldo Bloodstock at the Ready to Run Sale. Emphasize is a son of the Dane Shadow mare Dancing May, who also has a juvenile Embellish filly, and she is a sister to the Gr.1 South Australian Derby winner Shadows In The Sun.

It might not have been the race she wanted to target with Lingjun Xiongfeng this week, but Pam Gerard was pleased to see her showy grey return to winning form at Tauranga on Friday. The Matamata trainer had set her sights on tomorrow’s Gr.1 Harcourt Thordon Mile (1600m) at Trentham with the six-year-old gelding, but his 78 rating had made if difficult for her to execute that plan. “We have been a bit unlucky trying to get into fields. With his rating, he hasn’t been able to get in Open fields,” Gerard said. “We wanted to have him ready for the Thorndon Mile but just couldn’t get a start into him. I do think he has got a good one (race) in him.” The Factor entire hadn’t been sighted in the winner’s stall since December 2013, where he scored back-to-back victories, but he battled in open grade last year, featuring at the tail end of his last two Group outings. He returned to the races last month where he placed in the Poverty Bay Turf Club Cup (1400m) at Taupo and after reviewing the race, Gerard decided the entire is best ridden cold. She gave those instructions to jockey George Rooke prior to the Simply Law Greerton 1600 on Friday, and the English jockey duly obliged, settling at the back of the field before setting his charge alight down the straight where he ran over the top of his rivals to score by a head over Outback Opal. “Last time at Taupo we rode him a bit handier,” Gerard said. “We were keen to put him into the race, but when I got home and looked at it I thought that’s not the right way to ride him. We were really patient today and in a small field you get your options and even though they aren’t coming from the back today, he has flown home late.” Rooke was pleased with the win and believes there is a big win instore for Lingjun Xiongfeng over the coming months. “I half thought I left it too late and when I got to the front, I thought I got there too soon,” Rooke said. “He has got plenty of ability, he is quite quirky with it, and he has won well today. “He is going to have a big summer and thankfully he has got it off today.” Gerard is hoping the win is the start of a prosperous weekend for stable, with stable star Savaglee out to continue his impressive run of form in the Gr.2 Top Kat Roofing Levin Classic (1400m) at Trentham on Saturday. “Looking at him he looks big and burly and you think he is a little bit chubby, but I think he has just muscled up and got stronger,” Gerard said. “It is exciting, but it is probably more nerve-racking now as we have got to turn around and do it all again. “But I couldn’t be happier with him.” View the full article
