Here it is Mikey . i'll put it here as it is just stunning. A NEW YEARS Eve to remember . Some of the Alltime best of NZ Harness racing. Amazing Stuff. -
One of the greatest races on the yearly Calender. reduced to a mere $100k for the winner.?? just silly when you look at the Champions that have won it. and everyone grizzles Auckland gets to much funding. Doesn't look like it for their Flagship lol. 😅. should be worth 500k . The Aussie came and conquered last year. Maybe New Years Eve date can Stop that happening.? Do yourself a treat Mikey and look at the Brilliant driving display on 31st December 2020 that defeated the star horse COPY THAT. One of the Best races I've ever seen on the planet (top 10) Maurice McKendry feeling the heat in that one as the Copy That driver. what a treat for the Auckland Racegoers !! they should do New Years Eve every Year and have a party after. 🕺🍻 Anyway the Great race again saw the downfall of Copy That (the Double NZ Cup winner) April 21st 2023 to a famous Quinella again. Another fabulously Crafted race , with Blair getting out driven this time . The AUCKLAND Cup should be a Highlight Race of the year. for 'Open class' after the NZ Cup and FFA.

What Hawkesbury Races Where Hawkesbury Race Club – 1 Racecourse Rd, Clarendon NSW 2756 When Thursday, November 28, 2024 First Race 1:15pm AEDT Visit Dabble Provincial racing heads to Hawkesbury on Thursday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program set to get underway at 1:15pm local time. The rail is out +3m between the 1100m to 450m markers, while the remainder is in the true position. The track is rated a Good 4 at the time acceptances, but with plenty of rain forecast on race-day, punters can expect a downgrade into the Soft range at some point throughout the afternoon. Check out our best bets and quaddie selections down below. Best Bet at Hawkesbury: Froebel Star The Ciaron Maher-trained Froebel Star returns after a 200-day spell and looks perfectly placed in this BM64 for the fillies & mares. The daughter of Zousain comes through quality formlines last preparation, breaking her maiden status before coming undone on heavy ground in the Group 3 Ken Russell Memorial Classic (1200m) at the Sunshine Coast on May 11. Her trial at this course on November 14 suggests she’s ready to fire first-up, and with Mollie Fitzgerald taking 3kg off her back, Froebel Star should have issues taking care of this lot. Best Bet Race 6 – #2 Froebel Star (6) 3yo Filly | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Mollie Fitzgerald (a3kg) (60.5kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Hawkesbury: Shambretta Shambretta debuts on the back of a barrier trial victory at Randwick on November 11 and should get every chance to make an impression first-up. Kerrin McEvoy will be looking to dictate terms from barrier two, and with a lack of early speed, the son of Shamexpress should have no issues crossing to the front. He lacks race-day experience compared to some key rivals, but provided he can tick over a soft sectional in the middle stages, Shambretta should give a bold sight at a good price with BlondeBet. Next Best Race 3 – #2 Shambretta (2) 4yo Gelding | T: John O’Shea & Tom Charlton | J: Kerrin McEvoy (59kg) Bet with BlondeBet Best Value at Hawkesbury: Miss Jones The Richard & Will Freedman-trained Miss Jones has caught the eye in two recent barrier trials at Rosehill and appears primed for a first-up assault. The unraced three-year-old cruised through the wire in her latest piece of work, getting to within a nose of Burj under a tight grip by Jason Collett. She could have above-average ability, and with Collett likely to lob into the ideal stalking position from stall one, punters can expect Miss Jones to be right in the finish. Best Value Race 4 – #13 Miss Jones (1) 3yo Filly | T: Richard & Will Freedman | J: Jason Collett (55kg) Bet with Picklebet Thursday quaddie tips for Hawkesbury Hawkesbury quadrella selections November 28, 2024 2-5-6 2-9 1-2-3-4 1-4-5-6-7-10 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -

Shaune Ritchie and Colm Murray’s stayer Nereus(NZ) (Savabeel) carried the colours of Waikato Stud to win last Saturday’s Gr.3 Counties Cup (2100m), and at Te Aroha on Wednesday, their exciting three-year-old Tycoon Prince(NZ) (Written Tycoon) put Cambridge Stud’s name to the forefront with an impressive maiden success. A gelding by Written Tycoon, Tycoon Prince debuted as a juvenile in mid-February before going for a spell, and since returning, his talent has been evident with a runner-up finish to Osteria at Pukekohe on November 7. Starting an equal favourite with Para Para in Wednesday’s December Final Hurrah Of 2024 3YO (1150m), Tycoon Prince flew from the gates, but Ryan Elliot had no intention of leading and allowed a trio of runners to duel for the pace in front. Para Para hit the lead early in the straight with Tycoon Prince in pursuit, and his big, bounding strides were too powerful late to score by a neck, with the third placegetter a further three lengths adrift in Mulan Ardeche. Ritchie couldn’t have been happier with the performance, crediting his training partner and Elliot from an educational point of view. “He’s a big horse and he’s been a little bit claustrophobic in the barriers, so Colm has spent a lot of time teaching him to relax and getting that nervousness out of him,” he said. “It’s paid dividends today. “He’s a lovely big horse and we’re very keen to get him to 1400m, but we just feel he’s over-racing a bit at the moment and sitting outside the leader. “I thought it was a great educational ride by Ryan, just to take that sit on him. He clearly could’ve crossed and led, but it will greatly benefit the horse in the future by letting those three go and sitting in behind them, then coming out on the corner. “Teaching him to follow, I believe, is the key to getting him to 1400m and a mile later on in life, if he can retain that turn of foot over a mile he’s going to be awfully hard to beat in those later three-year-old races, and as a four and five-year-old.” Tycoon Prince was bred by Cambridge Stud principals Brendan and Jo Lindsay, who entrusted the gelding in Ritchie and Murray’s care after he was withdrawn from the 2023 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale. “My understanding is that he went to a sale and unfortunately he didn’t meet what they expected for him, so wisely they decided to keep him,” Ritchie said. “If you’re not going to get the right price, it’s to our benefit if they’re going to retain horses of his quality. “We’re very lucky as trainers though, we are in the situation where we are getting to train for the likes of Cambridge Stud today and we won a Counties Cup for Waikato Stud last Saturday. These are guys that have been in the game and breeding horses from properties that have been around for years and years, and that makes it a privilege to train for them. “It gives you the quality animal you are wanting to work with and it’s so much easier to do the job we do.” Going forward, Ritchie intends to spend as much time in the bright lights of Ellerslie as possible with Tycoon Prince, with the ultimate goal of contesting the lucrative age-group races being staged there in the new year. “He’s good on top of the ground, so we’ll start having a look at Ellerslie as much as we can, given that the better three-year-old money is there,” he said. “We will have a programme to race him there as much as we can on their nice firm track and hopefully that will give the horse his best chance to win the maximum amount while he’s at that prime age. “We’re well aware of how important it is for a three-year-old to get black-type, because once they turn four, it’s not always the easiest year for them. We will try to take advantage of that. “We have spaced his races to this point, so it’ll be interesting to step him up and see how good we are against those better three-year-olds.” Another promising thee-year-old in the stable, Tuxedo, will make his stakes-level debut at Otaki on Thursday, lining up in the Gr.3 Elsdon Park Wellington Stakes (1600m). The Tivaci gelding won on debut at Te Aroha on October 30 over 1400m, narrowly defeating Withallmyfaith, who went on to win in Premier Rating 65 company at Pukekohe last Saturday. Joe Doyle will retain the ride in the feature where Tuxedo is rated a $6.50 hope in a condensed market topped by He’s Lucid ($5). “I really like this horse, the horse he beat last time has gone on to win two in a row so the form around him is very good,” Ritchie said. “He is a bit green, he gets things a bit wrong and he wanted to over-race early at his first start, and then when he got to the front he wanted to wait a little bit, which he’s mimicking in training. “He’s got a bit to learn so he will be vulnerable, but we see him as a Derby type of a colt and that awkward gate (9) is probably the best thing for him, because we’ll allow him to find his feet tomorrow and I don’t think he’s the sort of horse that we want getting to the front too soon. “It’s a big step, for a horse coming out of a maiden race straight into a Group Three, but having said that, it’s basically a Rating 65 race in his age group. “That little bit of cut in the ground is why we’ve elected to go here instead of the two Ellerslie races in the next couple of weeks, because he’s quite a big horse and we want him to gradually get used to the firmer tracks. A Soft 5 and the rain forecasted tomorrow, it should set up nicely for the firmer tracks over the summer where he hopes he excels over further.” View the full article
