    • Matcha Latte ridden by Ahsley Morgan winning the Provincial-Midway Championships Final. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au A long-range plan for Matcha Latte to take out the Provincial-Midway Championships Final has paid off for Sara Ryan, thanks to a perfectly timed ride by Ashley Morgan in the $1 million contest at Randwick. After opening as the favourite with Picklebet, the son of Maurice drifted slightly due to the avalanche of money for Lord Of Biscay, who ended up jumping as the +170 favourite ahead of Matcha Latte at +340. Vintage Choice (+7000) led the field from Mogul Monarch (+2500) throughout the 1400m contest, while Magnatear (+1300) and Matcha Latte settled in perfect position behind the leading division. Lord Of Biscay settled right behind the eventual winner and followed him into the home straight as they spun the home corner at the 400m mark. The leaders didn’t find much early in the straight, which allowed the two favourites to run on by, with Matcha Latte taking over from Vintage Choice. Lord Of Biscay was breathing down the leader’s neck, and it looked like he was going to past; however, Matcha Latte continued to fight for Morgan and maintained his one-length lead. The runner-up challenged again late, but Matcha Latte proved too strong to hold off Lord Of Biscay and the fast-finishing Imposant (+3300), who flashed home into third place.

Sara Ryan was emotional following the victory. “A big thanks to my team to get a horse like him, you know, back to perform at his absolute top,” Ryan said. “He’s broken my heart more times than once. “But we love him, I’ve always known his ability, and for him to go and do that, it’s just fantastic. “It’s honestly him, he’s such an obliging animal, he wants to be here, and he wants to do that. “Horses can lose confidence when they hurt themselves but he just wants to be here. “As a Provincial trainer, this is our championship so to come out here and win it with a horse like him after so many issues is fantastic. “It’s fantastic and I’m so proud of the team. “Yeah, we’re getting bigger. We’ve got a good team of people around us and a great team.” Ashley Morgan explained why he was quietly confident before the race. “When I got off him at Newcastle, I said to Sara, ‘I’ll be there that day.’ I didn’t have a ride, but I was like, ‘you know, you’ll get me on,” Morgan said. “Great job by her because the horse had his issues and she’s done a great job to rehab him and bring him back. “His form as a three-year-old was top class, and he ran second in the Cameron behind a Group 1 winner. “It was a clear stand-out form, and it was just getting it right.” “The barrier helped, I was happy to take the sit, he actually quickened better than I thought he would. “We sort of lobbed there a bit too soon and Kris’ horse [Lord Of Biscay] had his chance to get us, but he really dug in late.” Horse racing news View the full article

    • Sergeant Major and Ethan Brown claims the Listed South Pacific Classic in Race 2 of The Championships Day 2 at Randwick. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au The Ciaron Maher-trained Sergeant Major ($6.50) has made every post a winner to claim the Listed South Pacific Classic (1400m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon, holding off the fast-finishing Nostringsattached ($3.50) to secure his first Australian win on The Championships Day 2. The New Zealand import has been consistent without winning since his arrival, catching the eye second-up behind Autumn Glow in the Listed Darby Munro Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on March 22, suggesting the son of Proisir was nearing a win. That turned out to be the case on Saturday as Melbourne-based hoop Ethan Brown took all luck out of the equation, launching to the front from barrier three in the early stages. Fearless () was sent forward to sit to his outside as Tom Marquand looked to offset gate 13, while the well-supported Meridiana () was sent towards the rear of the field, poised to get the last crack at her rivals. Sergeant Major was quick to drop his rivals with 400m left to travel, with Nostringattached held up briefly before exploding in the final furlong, while Interjection ($26) was putting in the big strides late to ensure a grandstand finish. It was Sergeant Major getting the verdict in the end, however, with the $200,000 feature heading the way of the Melbourne-based stable. Click here for all Randwick replays. Ciaron Maher was on track at Randwick to break down the win. “Great job by the team,” said Maher. “He’s a horse that’s always shown really good ability. The team found another nice horse over in New Zealand and I think we’ll just continue on the path of a few of his fellow New Zealander’s. “Each prep he’ll just get better. Beautiful ride by Browny (Ethan Brown), took luck out of it and took the race by the scruff, very good and I can’t thank the team enough. “We’ll just assess his performance today, as I said, I always thought he’d be a horse better in time, but there is a big race up there (Stradbroke) you do get a light weight as a three-year-old, so we’ll see how we go.” Ethan Brown then spoke post-race. “Impressive horse, very impressive horse,” said Brown. “It’s always good to kick-off the day on this note. “He’s a horse that’s improved every start this prep, but I feel today he’s improved again, especially up to the 1400m. “I was very impressed with his turn of foot and going forward he’s certainly one to follow.” Horse racing news View the full article
