Cambridge cancellation due to shortage of numbers. Harness need to realise that until HRNZ realise that they need to be running harness racing as a business things are going to continue to falter! Brad Steele stating on Trackside a few weeks ago that things are going well just shows us all just how poorly they are performing. The only reason things have held up is due to the constant stream of money that was promised racing and this is going to end. Racing for $8k is probably what a lot of the meetings will be once Entain pot of gold comes to an end. reality is that HRNZ have acted very irresponsibly with the money they have been given -

Smart four-year-old Evaporate (NZ) (Per Incanto) is nearing a return to racing after winning a jump-out at Flemington on Monday morning. Prepared by Ben, Will and JD Hayes, Evaporate was a Group Two winner last season and coped admirably with a campaign that took in races in Melbourne, Auckland and Sydney. Evaporate jumped out sporting earmuffs on Monday. “We were very happy with him,” Ben Hayes said. “He was in the same jump-out as Mr Brightside and having a harder hit-out. It was his second hit-out and we thought he went very well. “I think he is a horse that has really improved between three and four. “Probably his one little quirk is that he does over-race in races, so we’re going to strongly consider leaving the earmuffs on for his first-up run in the P.B. Lawrence. “Michael Dee came back and gave a really good report, loved the way he kicked and showed a good turn of foot. We think he’s in for a good campaign.” The Gr.2 P.B. Lawrence Stakes (1400m) is at Caulfield on Saturday week. “If he was able to run well in the P.B. Lawrence, we’d have to consider the Memsie (Gr.1, 1400m),” Hayes said. The A$10 Golden Eagle (1500m) at Rosehill on November 1 for four-year-olds is the main aim for Evaporate for the campaign. “I think he is a great race for him and he has got the prizemoney to run in it, so why not,” Hayes said. “We think he is one of our most progressive horses in the yard and last preparation if you go back and watch every run, he had excuses in a lot of them. He has not done too much wrong and has been very competitive and he has run in some of the best races. “He is a year older now, he is very hardened, he has travelled a lot and he enjoys being in work, so he is a horse that we are really excited to see how he goes.” The Hayes stable have enjoyed a stellar run with New Zealand imports, with Marble Arch (NZ) (Per Incanto), a Group Two winning daughter of Per Incanto finishing third in her jumpout with a likely first-up assignment in the Gr.3 Cockram Stakes (1200m). “I loved the way she trialled,” Hayes said. “She was very enthusiastic, a little bit fresh and we just kept her nice and happy to the line. She’ll trial again in probably two to three weeks’ time.” Meanwhile, Group One winning stablemate War Machine (NZ) (Harry Angel) is back in work after a break in Queensland following his Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) triumph. “He looks fantastic. He will most likely look to kick off in the Manikato Stakes (Gr.1, 1200m) on September 26 first-up and then we are hoping he gets snapped up for a slot in the Everest (A$20 million, Gr.1, 1200m) but if not he will run in the Sydney Stakes (A$2 million, Gr.3, 1200m),” Hayes said. “The CF Orr (Gr.1, 1400m) has been moved to the end of the Melbourne Spring Carnival (November 15), so we will probably head to that as well.” View the full article -

Bryce Newman is content on playing the long game with his talented filly Abbakiss (Microphone), who made a sharp return to the trials on Tuesday at Foxton. The Bulls horseman unveiled Abbakiss as an early two-year-old and she swiftly showed her talent, winning an open two-year-old event before going down by a narrow margin to To Cap It All in the Listed Wellesley Stakes (1100m). The daughter of Microphone earned her place in the Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m) and did her connections proud in the million-dollar feature, finishing sixth in a tight finish for the minor placings. While further stakes opportunities were on offer for Abbakiss as a juvenile, Newman elected to pull up stumps, sending the filly for a deserved spell. “We didn’t want to carry on into the autumn with her, we thought she’d done a very good job and were very proud of what she did in the Karaka Millions,” he said. “We decided to put her out, so she’s had three months off and had time to grow and mature. “We got her in nice and early and have been quietly chipping away, she’s been doing everything we’ve asked and we’ve been really happy with the way she has come up. “We came to the trials with the possibility of heading to Taupo on the 17th for the set weights and penalties fillies race there.” Guided by Kavish Chowdhoory, Abbakiss stormed out of the inside barrier but was restrained to find cover behind First Gear. When asked to extend in the straight, the filly responded and strode over the top of Intention crossing the line. “You always hope they’ll go well and it was nice to see her take a sit in behind the speed after jumping really quickly from the gates,” Newman said. “As soon as he (Chowdhoory) brought her out in the open, he said she was very willing which is nice feedback to hear. “Kavish was very happy with her, it was only 850m, but she was well ready to have a hit out, so hopefully she pulls up well and Taupo will be the plan now.” Abbakiss exceeded her trainer’s expectations as a youngster, and with plenty of growing still to be done, he is putting his focus towards races later in the summer. “She didn’t really look like a natural two-year-old, she was quite long in the leg and quite a tall filly, so she’s definitely furnished a bit more,” Newman said. “The plan is to not give her a really heavy spring, maybe only two or three starts, because I think she will be better again after Christmas with a bit more strength on her. “We’ll be quite kind to her in the spring, just the few starts, and we’ll look to possibly get back to Karaka again as a three-year-old. Nothing is set in stone at the moment, we’re just happy that she’s gone well today and we’re looking forward to the next outing.” Later on the day, Newman was also pleased with the trial of stablemate Bold Belle (NZ) (The Bold One), who took out her 1000m open heat in the hands of Kate Hercock.
