This weeks stakes at methven for non win horses i think you could view in 2 different ways. It highlights Methven can often reward those that support them, if they put their minds to it. So well done to them this week. but also,isn't methvens varying stakes an example of double standards of how they treat the akaroa club and the kaikoura clubs? Then again,maybe no one,apart from those who won the non winners races in november actually care.I don't think punters care,hrnz obviously doesn't. Maybe its all just another symptom of an industry with double standards,which i often point out. -

Friday Night Lights promises to be next level this week. The double-header will see Addington Raceway headline the night’s action with six Group 1s, while at Auckland there’ll be two Northern Metro Finals and two Country Cups. At Addington, Aces and Oaks Race Night will start at 5pm. There’ll be the Group 1 $100,000 Aces of Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds and Spades for the two-year-old trotters and pacers, of both genders, as well as the $140,000 What The Hill New Zealand Trotting Oaks and the $225,000 Tennant Engineering New Zealand Pacing Oaks. The $60,000 Group 2 Continental Event Hire Grand Duchess Mares Handicap Trot will also be held. At Auckland the $35,000 Northern Metro Series Finals for the Trotters and Pacers will be held, as will be the $20,000 Franklin Trotters and Pacers Country Cups. Before then Invercargill will hold a meeting on Wednesday, with Motukarara (Saturday) and Methven (Sunday) both holding grass track meetings over the weekend. Miki B too slick in Nursery Stakes at Timaru By Mike Love Miki B gave Woodend Beach trainers Craig and Aimee Edmonds their eighth win of the season by winning the Brosnan Transport LTD Timaru Nursery Stakes on Saturday. Co-trainer Craig Edmonds was pleased but not surprised by the win. “He is pretty laid back. John (Dunn) said he kicked passed them pretty good though which is great,” said Edmonds. The two-year-old Always B Miki gelding settled toward the rear of the five-horse field with driver John Dunn. They were able to track into the race nicely from the 800m before a dazzling final 800m of 56.5 (off the front) to win by three quarters of a length from pacemaker Chaldon. “He had been a little bit green in his earlier starts so to win like he did was pleasing. He probably came home in 55 seconds from where he was.” The win was part of Dunn’s very good day of driving picking up four winners on the programme including Szybka Lane, Ready Set Jet and Bounce N Beyond. Miki B’s next engagement is likely to be at Addington on Friday night in the Group 1 $100,000 Ace Of Spades. “He was possibly sold but in the meantime we will go Friday night then have a wee bit of a break.” Edmonds will also line up Four Wise Women in the What The Hill New Zealand Trotting Oaks at Group 1 level for a purse of $140,000 on the same night. “There’s something a bit niggly going on with her. She’s working good but hasn’t been able to kick on in her races. But on her day she’s a top four chance.” Craig and Aimee Edmonds have now won 69 races in partnership with stakes just short of $1 million. View the full article -

Expat Kiwi hoop James McDonald celebrated winning the 2024 LONGINES World’s Best Jockey Award for the second time with a double at Sha Tin on Sunday. McDonald was assured his second LONGINES World’s Best Jockey Award when Auguste Rodin finished eighth in the Gr.1 Japan Cup (2400m) in Tokyo on Sunday under Ryan Moore, leaving the New Zealander with 160 points to Moore’s 150 for results in the LONGINES World’s Top 100 Group One races. “It’s a huge honour and it’s just reflective of all the good horses I’ve ridden. I could almost name it the Romantic Warrior Award, to be honest with you, because he was such a huge contributor,” McDonald said. “He’s obviously a world champion in his own right, so you have to be part of those sort of horses, the Via Sistinas of the world, so those two horses (Romantic Warrior and Via Sistina) were huge contributors and it’s a huge honour. “I’m very proud of my year.” McDonald rode nine winners at the highest level since 1 December, with Romantic Warrior providing four of those victories – Gr.1 LONGINES Hong Kong Cup (2000m), Gr.1 Citi Gold Hong Kong Gold Cup (2000m), Gr.1 FWD QEII Cup (2000m) and Gr.1 Yasuda Kinen (1600m). McDonald, who has ridden three doubles in three successive meetings for six wins from 24 rides since returning to Hong Kong for a short-term stint, previously won the LONGINES World’s Best Jockey Award in 2022.

Progressive mare Mi Bella will have to overcome an unfavourable barrier draw if she is to repeat the efforts of her stablemate Lovearoadie at Te Aroha on Wednesday. The pair are prepared by Graham Richardson and Rogan Norvall, with Lovearoadie earning a deserved success in the opener at Pukekohe Park last Saturday. A consistent campaigner throughout her light career, Lovearoadie started a $10 chance in the competitive Rating 65 contest and won with plenty of tenacity, holding out Queen Zou by a half-head. The Inglewood-Stud bred and co-owned mare holds a nomination for the Stella Artois 1500 Championship Final on Boxing Day at Ellerslie, a race Richardson has on his radar. “She was gusty, very gutsy. She’s obviously got a fair bit of ability and tries very hard,” he said. “She is nominated for the Stella Artois Final, so I’ll be sitting down with the owners to talk about that.” Turning their attention to Wednesday’s Te Aroha meeting, Mi Bella will chase her maiden success in the John Revell Memorial 1150, aiming to better her third-placed effort behind Honey Badger at the course on October 30. The Per Incanto four-year-old has drawn barrier 12, Richardson’s main query heading into the race where she will continue her association with Warren Kennedy. “She’s really improved, she’s just got a very bad draw on Wednesday,” he said. “She will be going around though.” Britannia Gold holds a similar fate having drawn the identical barrier in the Racing Te Aroha Life Members 1400, which may mean Volunteer is the stable’s sole representative in the three-year-old maiden event. “I’ve got a question whether to run her (Britannia Gold) this week due to her draw, so I’ve got to see about that,” Richardson said. “Volunteer has got a good draw and I’m really happy with him. “He’s a horse on the go-forward and a real improver, just a beautiful animal.” A colt by Ocean Park, Volunteer (2) ran meritoriously on debut for fifth and has plenty of pedigree on his side, with his dam a half-sister to Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) winner Loire. Later in the day, Permissive will also aim to break maidens in the Ardex Technology Introducing Epona (1400), after coming very close behind This Time Girl at Ellerslie last month. “It was a good run at Ellerslie, she just does a lot wrong on race-day,” Richardson said. “She’s got a good draw (2) so that’s a positive for Wednesday.” Meanwhile, Richardson and Norvall’s Group One-winning mares Bonny Lass and Snazzytavi will appear at the Taupo trials on Tuesday, and emerging filly Romilly will have her first shot in stakes company in Saturday’s Listed The O’Leary’s Fillies Stakes (1340m) at Wanganui. Romilly was an eye-catching 3 – ½ length winner at Te Aroha on October 30, a reward for her trainers after allowing plenty of time for the filly to mature. “When she was immature, she had a few growing problems so I tipped her out for a while and it was the best thing for her,” Richardson said. “She was very unlucky at Taupo and improved so much when she won at Te Aroha that day.” View the full article
