I can run the 100m in about 12.5 seconds. If I spend a bit of time out at Bronsons place I might be able to break 10secs in a month. -

By Jordyn Bublitz Taranaki horseman Brodie Ellis may not have a barn full of Group 1 stars, but he represents the beating heart of New Zealand harness racing – the grassroots participants who keep the industry alive. Tonight at Cambridge Raceway, the dedicated trainer lines up two of his stable favourites, Cool Phelan and Ordained, both stepping out fresh from a spell in the Join Us For Xmas At Cambridge Raceway Trot (6.28pm). Racing has always been in Ellis’s blood. He was introduced to the sport by a stalwart of harness racing in the Manawatu. “My uncle was Keith Chittenden, so I grew up going down to his barn every weekend and then went on to do Kidz Kartz,” Ellis said. Chittenden trained 42 winners during a career that spanned four decades, from 1977 to 2017, before his passing in 2017. Widely respected in the lower North Island racing community, Keith was also instrumental in starting Taranaki Kidz Kartz. Ellis is steadily building his own path from his Taranaki base, where he trains a small but determined team of five horses. Tonight, he will make the trip north to Cambridge with a double-hand in the same event. Both of his runners, Cool Phelan and Ordained, are returning after spells, and while Ellis isn’t expecting miracles first-up, he’s confident both are forward enough to be competitive. Harrison Orange will take the reins of Ordained, and although the son of Father Patrick hasn’t been sighted since July, Ellis has been pleased with his progress leading into tonight’s assignment. “He’s worked up good, he’s definitely been keeping me on my toes the last couple of weeks and is ready to race,” Ellis said, “he’ll step and put himself handy, and I definitely think he’s capable of coming in the top three.” Cool Phelan, meanwhile, is the veteran of the pair, a nine-year-old daughter of Pegasus Spur who will be partnered by Peter Ferguson. She last raced in June and is being carefully prepared for a summer campaign on the grass tracks. “She’s a typical mare, her work has been good too, but she’ll be going in foal next month and we’ll really be aiming at the grass tracks with her,” Ellis explained. “Tonight, I’d like to see her settle on the pegs and have a quiet first run back.” View the full article -

Bulls stayer Trav will vie for a hotly-contested automatic spot into next month’s A$10 million Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) at The Valley on Friday night in the Gr.2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup (2500m). After winning the Gr.2 Auckland Cup (3200m) in autumn, his trainer Raymond Connors made the time-honoured feature a long-term goal, having two starts on home soil this spring before heading across the Tasman. Trav and regular rider Masa Hashizume finished 11th of 16 in the Gr.3 The Bart Cummings (2500m) in their Australian debut earlier this month, and while Connors had hoped for a slightly better result, he was not too deterred with the effort. “He went well after the line, obviously I would’ve liked to see him go a bit better, but I think it was a pass mark,” he said. “I’m hoping he’s improved since then, Masa was happy enough with him and he’s the type of horse where the further, the better. “I think we’ll get a good line on him tomorrow night, there was no reason not to carry on after that run anyway. Hopefully he can run well and put ourselves in the picture (for the Melbourne Cup).” Connors had tossed up whether to run at The Valley or head south to Geelong on Wednesday for the Gr.3 Geelong Cup (2400m), his call proving to be a blessing in disguise after that meeting was postponed due to severe winds. “Either race was going to be hard, but it’s not far to travel (to The Valley) and there is more of a likelihood of a better track, which he prefers,” he said. “Those were the two main reasons, he was probably better off in the handicaps in the Geelong Cup so hopefully I’ve made the right decision. It looked like the right call yesterday, at least we didn’t have to go through that ordeal.” Trav appeared for a track gallop at The Valley’s ‘Breakfast with the Best’ on Tuesday morning and Connors was pleased with his progress, having settled in well to life away from his typical country environment in the Central Districts. “He’s handled it pretty well, he’s started to do a lot better over the last week or so and his coat is looking good,” Connors said. “He’s not the easiest horse to work, but he’s getting there. I don’t think there’s any excuses tomorrow so hopefully he gets around there well.” View the full article
