    • TAB, chucking money at a losing cause is always going to end in tears HRNZ need to stop the folly that putting on races with big stakes is going to work! They race the wrong way around for a start, they have not got the interest in the harness racing for a variety of reasons. HRNZ in my humble opinion have not got the right people making the right decisions unfortunately. Anyone know what has happened to the Committee or was that just wind?
    • You making stuff up again Galah ! The guy you refer to is a Crusaders man.....Canterbury , red and black ! The most one-eyed bunch in the land ! And Rugby certainly been thru the wringer at times , spending more than they earn ! Racing often spoken in the same breathe as racing  , as it once was when there were no alternatives. Auckland actually were so unbeatable a while back they took the Shield on the road to show the rest of Country, then when Canterbury decided to improve and get out of the cellar ,what did they do........starting importing dozens of great players from Auckland, Northland and Taranaki in particular and sent  others to their feeder team Tasman to add even more depth. Maybe this should be reversed now and Canterbury can send say 80-100 horses North now. Any horses cos Auckland has the top Stallions ,top trainers and drivers to make their own luck , and become great again ! So send horses and $$$$ North and be a little generous !  
    • What Sandown Lakeside Races Where Sandown Racecourse – 591-659 Princes Hwy, Springvale VIC 3171 When Wednesday, August 13, 2025 First Race 1pm AEST Visit Dabble Wednesday’s Victorian metro card is set for the Sandown Lakeside circuit with the rail out 6m the entire circuit and the course posted as a Good 4. The opener jumps at 1pm AEST and the closer at 5:05pm. Lakeside often rewards on-pace runners early, but once the racing line shifts, the best ground comes three-to-four off the fence in the straight with the rail out so far. Best Bet at Sandown: Aqueduct Aqueduct has come back a sharper, more professional galloper, stringing together three wins on the synthetic before graduating to a city-grade assignment. He draws to land 2–3 pairs behind the speed from barrier four, and the 3kg claim for Luke Cartwright keeps him nicely in at 59.5kg. His recent wins featured genuine tempo and strong last 400m splits, exactly the profile that transfers to Lakeside’s 1200m. With race-fit rivals like Some People Callme and Flying Valley to measure up against, a clean jump and tractable run-in transit should see Aqueduct put them away late. Best Bet Race 3 – #1 Aqueduct (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Luke Cartwright (a3) (62.5kg) Next Best at Sandown: Du Clisson Du Clisson is a likeable mare who keeps turning up and running time, and she gets the right set-up second-up at 1200m. Barrier 13 isn’t ideal, but Jordan Childs can ride patient, blend into the three-wide lane from the 500m and launch late — a pattern that often plays at Lakeside. Her profile (5:1-3-0) says she gives you a run for your money, and her recent seconds at BM64 grade stack up nicely against this lot. With even luck in transit, Du Clisson will take some holding out Next Best Race 8 – #9 Du Clisson (13) 4yo Mare | T: Tom Dabernig | J: Jordan Childs (59kg) Best Value at Sandown: Super Trooper Super Trooper was dominant winning a BM70 at Pakenham last start, and finds another suitable 1400m with a soft map. From barrier three, Logan Bates can park the Freedman gelding just behind likely pace-setters King Tut and Emphasize, then angle off turning for home. He carries 59.5kg but again gets the 2kg pull from the apprentice, and his recent figures say he can sustain a strong 600m build at this trip. Super Trooper is holding together beautifully this prep and looks ready to go on with the job. Best Value Race 4 – #3 Super Trooper (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Logan Bates (a2) (59.5kg) Wednesday quaddie tips for Sandown Sandown quadrella selections Wednesday, August 13, 2025 1-7-8 3-6-8 2-3-5-7 4-9-11-14 Horse racing tips View the full article

    • What Kensington Races Where Royal Randwick Racecourse – Alison Rd, Randwick NSW 2031 When Wednesday, August 13, 2025 First Race 12:50pm AEST Visit Dabble Randwick serves up a competitive eight-part program on the Kensington circuit this Wednesday afternoon, with the rail set true for the day. The surface was rated a Heavy 9 at the time of acceptances, and with more light rainfall forecast in the lead-up, participants can be assured yielding ground come race-day. The opening race for the Randwick-Kensington meeting is scheduled to get underway at 12:50pm local time. Best Bet at Kensington: Artistic Venture Artistic Venture returns after a 151-day spell and brings an element of class to this maiden contest. She went winless in her two-year-old campaign but caught the eye on multiple occasions, including her last-start effort when travelling wide without cover in the Group 3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m). Her two recent trials have been impressive, and with Zac Lloyd set to have the pair stalking from the one-one after drawing gate two, Artistic Venture gets the perfect setup to claim her first win at start five. Best Bet Race 1 – #1 Artistic Venture (2) 3yo Filly | T: John O’Shea & Tom Charlton | J: Zac Lloyd (61kg) Next Best at Kensington: Tazima Tazima looks to have settled nicely since arriving from the UK. The son of Awtaad relished the Heavy track in his latest effort at Warwick Farm on July 30, with the four-year-old narrowly headed by The Years as the pair produced a ding-dong battle in the concluding stages. Dropping back into this BM64 contest appears ideal third-up, and with the 3kg claim of apprentice hoop Siena Grima having Tazima well in at the weights, expect this guy to prove too classy for this lot. Next Best Race 3 – #1 Tazima (7) 4yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Siena Grima (a3kg) (62.5kg) Best Value at Kensington: More Felons Despite returning after a 501-day absence, the $15 about More Felons in the Premier’s Cup Prelude (1800m) seems too big to ignore. The son of Churchill was a long-standing favourite with horse racing bookmakers for the 2024 Sydney Cup (3200m) before suffering a setback after finishing runner-up in the Group 1 Tancred Stakes (2400m). His barrier trials suggest he’s returning in terrific order, and provided he can replicate his first-up win in the Listed Parramatta Cup (1900m) last preparation, More Felons must be considered a major player in this. Best Value Race 7 – #1 More Felons (5) 6yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Siena Grima (a3kg) (62.5kg) Wednesday quaddie tips for Kensington Kensington quadrella selections Wednesday, August 13, 2025 1-4-5-6 8-9-10-11-12 1-9-10-12-16 1-3-12 Horse racing tips View the full article
