    • I see they groom the track between races.  I've always wondered why they don't do that with our AWT's.  Harness do it.
    • Interesting that two races have been abandoned on the NZTAB at Saratoga.  I assume due to lack of money in the pools. An hour to go to the Belmont Stakes and $7 in the win pool on the tote!
    • Due to the particularly heavy track at Timaru, the need to mitigate barrier movements and the early start time the two trials originally scheduled prior to Race 1 have been cancelled.
    • Spring plan for Treasure The Moment Michael Manley@MichaelManley_1   7 June, 2025     Treasurethe Moment (Image: Racing Photos) Matt Laurie intends to follow the traditional spring path with his champion three-year-old filly Treasure The Moment before deciding on whether she will tackle the Caulfield Cup or the Cox Plate. The rising four-year-old mare has returned to Laurie’s stables and he’s thrilled with her condition. “She’s been trotting on the treadmill on the incline. She’s ready to have a saddle put on her and begin cantering work,” Laurie said. Laurie said he will consult with Yulong, but his plan is for her to resume in the Memsie Stakes at Caulfield on September 2.

Treasurethe Moment has won her past eight races, including three at Group 1 level which has taken her record to nine wins and two seconds from 11 starts. She is $8 with Sportsbet to win the Cox Plate and $15 to win the Caulfield Cup. Ba
    • Marathon float trip ends well for Lees filly in Queensland Oaks You Wahng (left) holds off Pinito to win the Group 1 Queensland Oaks at Eagle Farm. Picture: Trackside Photography   By Daniel Pace 05:32pm • 07 June 2025 0 Comments The Kris Lees-trained filly You Wahng was lucky to be even running in Saturday's Queensland Oaks (2200m), let alone winning the Group 1 at Eagle Farm. But that's exactly what she did in a stirring performance, although it nearly didn't happen because of the recent floods on the NSW Mid North Coast. Lees said it took a marathon 16 hours of travel, comprising two trips, to even get the filly to Brisbane and didn't the waiting game pay off. In an exciting fight to the line, $19 chance You Wahng held on grimly to defeat the James Cummings-trained Pinito ($6), with Group 1 Australasian Oaks champion Benagil a distant third in the $700,000 contest for 3YO fillies.   "There were floods at Taree so I had to spend the night at Armidale and then come across," a jubilant Lees said. "Each trip was like eight hours, so it was two lots of eight hours just to get here (to Brisbane). "It doubled the travelling time. "She was very stirred up in The Roses (at Doomben) and I thought ‘oh we're off here' and I was thinking she'd be going to the paddock. "But she actually ran super and came out of it well so she's a tough filly."   You Wahng finished a creditable fifth in The Roses (2000m) on May 24 in a Group 2 race won by Queensland Oaks favourite Philia, who struggled to cope with the extra 200m on Saturday. Philia dropped out to finish eighth, ending her four-race winning streak, after starting as the $4.20 favourite. Lees admitted he was a little surprised at the victory, although he knew You Wahng was capable of an upset following her excellent third in the Australian Oaks (2400m) at Randwick on April 12 behind super filly Treasurethe Moment and Sun ‘N' Sand. When You Wahng finished last in the Listed The Coast at Gosford last month, Lees wasn't exactly brimming with confidence. "Look we lost confidence after she went to Gosford for a prep run to get her back on track but she was a bit plain," he said. A jubilant Tommy Berry after winning the Queensland Oaks.

He was able to get us straight across from the gate and got into a lovely position in running. "He had a lot of horse coming to the corner, but I was always just a little guarded that last furlong when she presented, but she was able to find under pressure. "She probably got to him a bit early in The Roses, so Tommy was adamant we just needed to hold her up for a furlong sprint and he produced her at the right time today. "She looked the winner a long way from home. "She was on her last legs late but she found something extra under pressure so that was very pleasing." You Wahng will now head to the paddock for a "well-deserved" spell. "That's her first city win, actually," Lees said. "She'll have a well-deserved rest because she's had a good prep. She's been up all throughout and we thought after the Oaks in Sydney we were a chance and she's delivered."
