    • Gr.1 Victoria Derby (2500m) runner-up Scary (NZ) (Shocking) is building up nicely towards his return to the races next month. The Emma-Lee and David Browne-trained colt jumped out at Pakenham last Tuesday, when he had Jack Virgona in the saddle. “We’re really happy with him,” said Emma-Lee Browne. “He just had a quiet jumpout the other day, we were going to wait another week but then they put it on the course proper, so I just got Jack to take him along quietly. “He’s ridden him before in a jumpout previously and he was really impressed with him, he said he’s really grown up mentally, which is quite good. “We’ve been really, really happy with him.” Browne has identified February 15 at Flemington as the likely date for Scary’s first run in 2025. “He’ll have another jumpout, we’ll probably look at kicking him off in the C.S. Hayes (Gr.3, 1400m),” she said. “It’s probably a bit sharp for him first-up but he’s got quite a high rating now, so it’s a logical place to kick off.” A convincing maiden winner at Sale in September, Scary produced his best performance to date in the Victoria Derby, beating all bar Goldrush Guru (American Pharoah), and Browne said that it’s likely that he’ll be at his best once again over longer distances. “The further you go, the better he’s going to be,” she said. “We’ll look forward to getting him up over ground.” Scary is at $15 in Sportsbet’s market for the Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m) on April 5, should he head in that direction.

    • Top filly Bellatrix Star’s (Star Witness) autumn campaign has been aborted and her racing future is unclear after a freak accident at Cranbourne last week. Mark Walker’s Group Two winner and Group One runner-up sustained a serious neck injury when she reared and fell while exiting the swimming pool after a routine piece of exercise. Managing owner John Galvin said that while initial scans have confirmed several fractures, the injury appears stable and he will await further veterinary advice as to the filly’s long-term prospects. “She had an accident as she was exiting the pool, she reared right over onto her back and fell heavily,” Galvin said. “She was on the ground for 10 or 15 minutes, but she gradually got to her feet and was walked back to the box where she was examined by the vet and then X-rayed. “She’s got fractures in her neck. “The good news since is that she’s bright, she’s alert, she’s eating well and her vitals are good. “Obviously, her autumn campaign that we had planned is out the window and it’s possible that she may never race again, but we don’t know that for sure at this stage. “We’ve got a very good vet there, Matt Morahan, and I’ve spoken to our local Waikato vet, who was at the (Magic Millions) sales and, while it’s not a common injury, they’ve seen similar before. “Whether she recovers well enough to be able to race again, we can’t be sure, but, obviously, given her race record to date, she’s got a fair value as a broodmare prospect, so that would be plan b if she couldn’t race again.” A Group Two winner in New Zealand as a two-year-old, the Mark Walker-trained filly emerged as one of Australia’s premier sprinting three-year-olds with a strong of feature race wins over the spring, including the Gr.2 Schillaci Stakes (1100m) against older horses. She finished well from near-last to run second to Switzerland in the Gr.1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m), before finishing down the track in the Gr.1 Champions Sprint (1200m). Galvin said connections had been eyeing an ambitious summer and autumn campaign with the Gr.1 Black Caviar Lightning (1000m), Gr.1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m), Gr.1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) and Gr.1 T.J. Smith Stakes (1200m) all on the agenda. View the full article
    • What Dubbo Races Where Dubbo Turf Club – Merrilea Rd, Dubbo NSW 2830 When Tuesday, January 14, 2025 First Race 1:15pm AEDT Visit Dabble Dubbo Turf Club is the destination for NSW racing on Tuesday afternoon, with a quality eight-part program awaiting punters. The rail moves out +2m from the 1000m chute position, while the remainder is in the true position the rest of the way around. The track is rated a Good 4 at the time of writing, however, with significant rainfall forecast in the region, readers can expect a downgrade into the Soft range at some stage. All the action is set to get underway at 1:15pm AEDT. Best Bet at Dubbo: Storm Park Storm Park was impressive bounding away to score by a length at Tamworth on December 23 and looks perfectly placed on his quest for back-to-back wins. The son of Ocean Park relished every bit of the 1600m on that occasion, proving far too classy for maiden company, with Clayton Gallagher saving all the ground in a rail-hugging masterclass. There’s more depth in this Class 1 contest on paper; however, with Storm Park possessing significant upside compared to some key rivals, expect this guy to simply prove too good for this lot. Best Bet Race 3 – #5 Storm Park (1) 3yo Gelding | T: Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald | J: Clayton Gallagher (57.5kg) +150 with Neds Next Best at Dubbo: Written By Choice Written By Choice appears set to peak fourth-up into the campaign after catching the eye at Gilgandra on January 5. The Written By three-year-old closed off best of the beaten brigade at the end of 1280m, suggesting a step up to the 1400m should be an ideal recipe for success. Nick Heywood may need some luck slotting in for cover from barrier eight, but provided the breaks can fall his way, the $4.20 with BlondeBet is a fair price to find out as Written By Choice attempts to secure his maiden victory at start five. Next Best Race 2 – #1 Written By Choice (8) 3yo Gelding | T: Clint Lundholm | J: Nick Heywood (59kg) +320 with BlondeBet Best Value at Dubbo: Gecko Coin The $10 on offer with horse racing bookmakers for the Kylie Kennedy-trained Gecko Coin appears to be too big. The son of Written Tycoon has improved with every start this preparation, hitting the line well in back-to-back outings at Narromine over the unsuitable 1100m journey. The extra 100m to chase down his rivals should be ideal, and with plenty of tempo engaged in this Class 1 affair, watch for Shayleigh Ingelse and Gecko Coin to get the last crack at their rivals when storming down the centre of the course. Best Value Race 6 – #4 Gecko Coin (3) 6yo Gelding | T: Kylie Kennedy | J: Shayleigh Ingelse (57.5kg) +900 with Picklebet Tuesday quaddie tips for Dubbo Dubbo quadrella selections January 14, 2025 3-4-5-9-14 1-2-3-4-6 1-2-5-6-8 2-3-4-9 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
