    • Daryz is said to be a likely runner in next month's G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at ParisLongchamp, having bounced back to form with a narrow defeat in Sunday's G3 Prix du Prince d'Orange at the same course. Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard, the son of Sea The Stars gained his fourth success from as many starts when winning June's G2 Prix Eugene Adam at Saint-Cloud, before forfeiting his unbeaten record with a no-show in the G1 Juddmonte International at York. With connections at a loss to explain that below-par display, Daryz was given another opportunity to show what he can do at the weekend and his short-head defeat to Japanese raider Croix Du Nord (Kitasan Black) was certainly a big step back in the right direction. “We wanted to see him run again as things didn't go right at York and we didn't know what to think of it afterwards,” said Nemone Routh, racing manager for Daryz's owner-breeder, the Aga Khan Studs. “We were very happy on Sunday. He had an outside draw, so we were keen for him to find cover as he was a bit keen early on at York, but he settled well. He seemed to handle the really soft ground well, which was pleasing to see. “He quickened up really well and was probably a bit unlucky as he just had to come round the Japanese horse who was hanging a bit. Their jockey got a few days for overuse of the whip as well. So, really Daryz only had a furlong where he was in the clear. He really picked up and just failed to get there, so we were very happy with the run.” Daryz is available to back at around 20/1 for the Arc and Routh confirmed that it's likely to be all systems go for a tilt at Europe's premier middle-distance prize. She added, “We'll see how he comes out of the race but, if he takes it well, then I think we'll probably take our chance in the Arc. We'd hope the ground wouldn't be any softer than the other day as, while it was very soft, it wasn't extreme. “He's only ever run over 10 furlongs but, apart from the race at York, he's always finished his races off well and everything in his pedigree would say he'll get the trip [a mile and a half]. The only reason he hasn't run over it before is he has been keen in his races. I don't think it will be a problem. “He's a lovely horse and he's still learning really. He was a very backward two-year-old and has done a lot in a short space of time. He's always been a horse we thought would be better at four.” The post Daryz Back in the Arc Picture Despite Weekend Defeat appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Yes bit of a tricky angle that one, not quite in the same league as the reefton winning post, since they shifted it.
    • What Bendigo Races Where Bendigo Jockey Club – Heinz St, White Hills VIC 3550 When Wednesday, September 17, 2025 First Race 1:10pm AEST Visit Dabble The Bendigo Jockey Club hosts a competitive eight-race meeting this Wednesday afternoon. Despite the track being rated a Good 4 at the time of acceptances, showers forecast on Tuesday should mean the card will be held on a Soft 5. The rail sticks in its true position, with the Bendigo races on September 17 commencing at 1:10pm AEST. Best Bet at Bendigo: Trembles Trembles had excuses at Caulfield on June 28 before heading for a spell, but prior to that she saluted at Sandown in a strong form race which has produced four subsequent winners. A similar level of output should be too good for this BM66. Mark Zahra will look to cross the field from barrier nine and dictate proceedings; from there, she will be hard to run down in the penultimate. Best Bet Race 7 – #8 Trembles (9) 4yo Mare | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Mark Zahra (59kg) Next Best at Bendigo: Ferocious Frankie Ferocious Me was competitive in defeat at Moonee Valley behind Cherish Me over 1200m, going down by only two lengths in a much tougher race than this midweek BM64. He draws to do no work from barrier four, and stepping up to 1300m should suit. If Blake Shinn can find clear air at the top of the straight, Ferocious Frankie looks to have enough class to overhaul the leaders and bring up a second career win at start three. Next Best Race 2 – #6 Ferocious Frankie (4) 3yo Filly | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: Blake Shinn (57.5kg) Best Value at Bendigo: Keep It Real Keep It Real caught the eye when finishing strongly into second at Wangaratta over 1100m last time out. Despite staying at the trip, he looks suited in a field where the exposed form is nothing special and the unraced brigade don’t appear to offer a lot. Daniel Stackhouse can have him settled in a perfect stalking position from barrier two, and if the gaps appear at the right time, Keep It Real should prove hard to hold out. Best Value Race 3 – #6 Keep It Real (2) 3yo Gelding | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Daniel Stackhouse (57kg) Wednesday quaddie tips for Bendigo Bendigo quadrella selections Wednesday, September 17, 2025 3-4-6-7 2-3-4-5-6 8-11-13 4-6-8-14 Horse racing tips View the full article
    • What Happy Valley Races Where Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong When Wednesday, September 17, 2025 First Race 7:10pm HKT (9:10pm AEST) Visit Dabble Hong Kong racing continues at Happy Valley this Wednesday evening, with a competitive eight-part program set for decision. The rail moves out to the B course, and although thunderstorms are predicted to hit the track on Tuesday, it should have plenty of time to dry out courtesy of warm conditions forecast on race-day. Check out HorseBetting.com.au’s best bets for the Happy Valley races on September 17, 2025. Best Bet at Happy Valley: Honest Witness Honest Witness looked to be improving towards the backend of last season when posting back-to-back minor placings. The son of Written By appears to be resuming in superb order after saluting in a barrier trial on the Sha Tin all-weather circuit on September 3. He maps to stalk the speed from gate six, and provided Zac Purton has no issues slotting in for cover, Honest Witness can finally shirk the maiden tag at start six. Best Bet Race 5 – #4 Honest Witness (6) 4yo Gelding | T: David Hayes | J: Zac Purton (57.5kg) Next Best at Happy Valley: Lo Rider The Caspar Fownes-trained Lo Rider was rock solid in his debut Hong Kong campaign despite failing to post a win in his seven starts. The Irish import managed a fourth-place finish in the Hong Kong Derby (2000m) two runs back, then was luckless when held up behind a fall of horses chasing home Light Years Charm at Sha Tin on July 1. He draws to do no work from barrier one as he tackles Happy Valley for the first time, and with 1650m seemingly a perfect trip, Lo Rider gets a terrific opportunity to claim his Hong Kong maiden in the finale. Next Best Race 8 – #10 Lo Rider (1) 5yo Gelding | T: Caspar Fownes | J: Harry Bentley (55kg) Best Value at Happy Valley: Supreme Agility Supreme Agility caught the eye chasing home S J Tourbillon at this course and distance on July 16 and looks to be doing his best work in Class 4. The six-year-old has now placed twice in three starts since dropping back in grade, and he didn’t seem to be hampered when lugging the 61kg last time out. With a genuine tempo expected in this 1800m contest, it should set up perfectly for Supreme Agility to be flashing home down the centre of track at a good each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 3 – #2 Supreme Agility (9) 6yo Gelding | T: Pierre Ng | J: James Orman (59kg) Wednesday quaddie tips for Happy Valley Happy Valley quadrella selections Wednesday, September 17, 2025 1-4 2-3-4-6-9 1-4-7-8-11 1-2-6-7-10-11 Horse racing tips View the full article
    • What Canterbury Races Where Canterbury Park Racecourse – King St, Canterbury NSW 2193 When Wednesday, September 17, 2025 First Race 1:35pm AEST Visit Dabble Canterbury Park is the destination for midweek racing in Sydney on Wednesday, with a competitive seven-race meeting scheduled. Warm conditions and no rain are forecast this week, meaning the track should be a Good 4 despite being a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances. The rail comes out 6m for the entire circuit, with the first race set to jump at 1:35pm AEST. Best Bet at Canterbury: Hidden Motive Hidden Motive went to the paddock following a smart victory at Randwick victory on June 7, closing out an autumn campaign where he was more than competitive in tougher assignments than this midweek BM72. Braith Nock will use his 2kg claim to his advantage and have the son of Capitalist close to the speed throughout. With a swift turn of foot, Hidden Motive should prove too slick for his rivals over 1100m. Best Bet Race 5 – #5 Hidden Motive (3) 3yo Colt | T: Nathan Doyle | J: Braith Nock (a2) (58kg) Next Best at Canterbury: Our Queen Based on a couple of handy trial victories, Our Queen looks ready to strike on her Sydney debut. The former Victorian seems to be a natural front-runner, so barrier one around the Canterbury 1250m should be ideal. The Night Of Thunder mare has won both of her fresh assignments, and despite being short of her best trip, Our Queen should prove too hard to run down in the finale. Next Best Race 7 – #11 Our Queen (1) 5yo Mare | T: Bjorn Baker | J: Tim Clark (57kg) Best Value at Canterbury: Benevac Benevac was only gunned down late when returning from a six-month spell at Gosford last time out, just peaking on his run inside the final 100m. Canterbury should suit him a bit better considering how beneficial it has been to be up on speed in recent times, which should offset the wide draw. With Tim Clark sticking, Benevac is poised to run a bold race at a nice price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 1 – #2 Benevac (12) 3yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Tim Clark (57kg) Wednesday quaddie tips for Canterbury Canterbury quadrella selections Wednesday, September 17, 2025 1-2-4-5-7 5-6 4-7-10-11 11-12 Horse racing tips View the full article
