    • James McDonald and Wodeton storm home in the Chandon Handicap in race 1 at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday, January 18. Photo: Bradley Photos The Chris Waller-trained Wodeton ($1.60) has stamped himself as the 2025 Golden Slipper (1200m) favourite with horse racing bookmakers after a dominant victory in the Chandon Handicap (1200m) at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon. The son of Wootton Bassett was expected to win handsomely prior to the jump on Saturday, with all the money pre-race coming the way of the unraced two-year-old colt. He justified the support in stylish fashion, with James McDonald unleashing Wodeton down the centre of the course, careering away with the $160,000 prize in a blistering debut. Rosehill 2025 Chandon Handicap Replay – Wodeton https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Rosehill-2025-Chandon-Handicap-Race-1-18012025-Wodeton-Chris-Waller-James-McDonald.mp4 Stable representative Charlie Duckworth was on course at Rosehill to break down the ultra-impressive win. “He’s been incredibly dominant today,” said Duckworth. “His demeanor before the race, even with the delay, was amazing. He’s like an old hand at the job. Obviously getting caught three-wide is never ideal on debut, but he just idled up and put them away with great ease. “If it was in the Heavy range (the track) I think we probably wouldn’t have seen him today and we had him penciled in to run next week when obviously James (McDonald) won’t be here. “That had a bit of an indication that we wanted to have James on and when it came up in the Soft range and we missed some of those showers last night, I think we’re very fortunate to be racing on a Soft deck. “He’s an incredibly exciting horse. “He’s probably the most highly talked about colt when we were up at Magic Millions, It was just a trial and every was asking about him, so it’s amazing to generate that much hype off a trial you didn’t even win, but obviously every knew what they were looking at and he’s pretty exciting.” James McDonald was glowing about the performance in the aftermath as well. “I’ve sat on him a couple times now and he’s the real deal,” said McDonald. “He’s just got the most pure action. Unbelievable demeanor about him, and it’s going to take him a long way. “You just seen how he handled that. He wasn’t quick away and he just managed to slot in, control and then use his turn-of-foot, you wait to see him on good ground. “I find with these colts the first ones the hardest one. “Obviously the expectations huge and you just want it to all go well and him learn with the experience because maturities there and what he’s done at home has been pretty cool. “He’s an exciting colt.” Wodeton is now the current favourite at $5.00 with Neds for the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) on March 22.

    • What Mornington Races Where Mornington Racecourse – 320 Racecourse Rd, Mornington VIC 3931 When Sunday, January 19, 2025 First Race 1:35pm AEDT Visit Dabble Racing in Victoria heads to Mornington on Sunday afternoon, where a competitive eight-race meeting awaits punters. Clear skies are forecast for the day, and despite the rail being out 8m, the track at Mornington has been playing fairly in recent times, so no bias is expected. The track is a Good 4, with action set to get underway at 1:35pm AEDT. Best Bet at Mornington: Chicago King Chicago King has been knocking down the door to break his maiden and may not get a better chance than what he does on Sunday. The Street Boss gelding made a mess of the start at Cranbourne, and despite finishing second beaten under a length, the three-year-old gelding was always going to find it tough to win. If Jamie Mott can get him out of the gates cleanly, Chicago King should have no issue finding a nice spot midfield throughout. Armed with a nice turn of foot, the 1500m looks ideal for Chicago King third-up. Best Bet Race 4 – #5 Chicago King (2) 3yo Gelding | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Jamie Mott (58.5kg) +170 with Neds Next Best at Mornington: Saint Winifred Saint Winifred has been building towards a maiden victory this campaign, finishing third at her last two starts over 1600m at Cranbourne and then Yarra Valley over 1950m last time out. The 2050m looks ideal for the Burgundy mare and if Jackie Beriman can have settled in the one-one from barrier seven, then Saint Winifred should prove to be the superior stayer in the opener. Next Best Race 1 – #13 Saint Winifred (7) 5yo Mare | T: Michael Trott | J: Jackie Beriman (57.5kg) +400 with BlondeBet Best Value at Mornington: Outcaster Outcaster has been terrific in recent times, winning three times from her last five runs and, at an each-way price with Picklebet, can feature in the finish in the last. From barrier two, Jake Noonan will likely have the Pariah mare locked away on the rail throughout the 2050m journey, but if the gaps come at the right time, Outcaster has the runs on the board to suggest she can give this a rattle with the right run in transit. Best Value Race 8 – #6 Outcaster (2) 5yo Mare | T: Rachael Cunningham | J: Jake Noonan (58.5kg) +1100 with Picklebet Sunday quaddie tips for Mornington Mornington quadrella selections Sunday, January 19, 2025 1-2-4-6-10 3-5-6-10 1-4-9-12 1-2-6-13 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
    • Osipenko breaks his 643-day drought by securing the Listed January Cup with jockey James McDonald at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday, January 18. Photo: Bradley Photos Osipenko returned to the winner’s circle in the Listed January Cup (2000m) at Rosehill on Saturday, breaking a 643-day drought in emphatic style. Guided by a masterful ride from James McDonald, the Chris Waller-trained gelding showed his class, storming home to secure a 3/4-length victory over Converge, with Saltcoats finishing third. McDonald, who claimed his fourth win from five rides on the day, positioned Osipenko perfectly in the early stages. Settling just behind the speed, the five-year-old enjoyed an uninterrupted run before peeling off the rail at the top of the straight. Despite a lengthy spell from the winner’s list, Osipenko responded powerfully, surging past rivals to claim a well-deserved victory at $3 odds with the top horse racing bookmakers. Rosehill 2025 January Cup Replay – Osipenko https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Rosehill-2025-Listed-January-Cup-18012025-Osipenko-Chris-Waller-James-McDonald.mp4 “It’s been a long time coming, but we always knew the ability was there,” Waller stable representative Charlie Duckworth said post-race. “He’s competed at the top level and gelding him has really helped him focus. His last couple of runs showed he was building towards this.” McDonald, celebrating his 50th win of the season, was full of praise for the horse. “There’s always been talent with him,” he said. “He’s been racing against top-class horses, and today it all came together. He relaxed beautifully, travelled well, and gave me a great feel turning for home.” “He should’ve won the Caulfield Guineas, and when you’re talking in that kind of era, you come to 2,000 metres heading into an autumn carnival; you’d think he’d get his hoof on the till, so to speak.” “He was well placed today and got a lovely run, good barrier, and he did the rest and wouldn’t be surprised if he now gets a couple together.” The gelding’s last victory came in June 2022, and this performance suggests he could be set for a strong autumn campaign. Final placings saw Converge run on strongly for second, while Saltcoats, also from the Waller yard, battled on bravely for third. Horse racing news View the full article
    • What Cowra Races Where Cowra Jockey Club – Grenfell Rd, Cowra NSW 2793 When Sunday, January 19, 2025 First Race 1:20pm AEDT Visit Dabble The Cowra Jockey Club is the destination for country racing on Sunday afternoon, with a competitive eight-part program lined up for Cowra Japan Cup (1200m) Day. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with no significant rainfall predicted to hit the course proper, punters can expect a genuine Good 4 surface. All the action for 2025 Cowra Japan Cup Day is set to get underway at 1:20pm local time. Cowra Japan Cup Tip: Outback Angel Outback Angel is flying this preparation, securing two wins and another minor placing in her four starts. The daughter of Super One was tested in metro company for the first time in her most recent outing, closing to within a length of Manuscript at Canterbury on New Year’s Day. She was a dominant winner prior to that effort, and provided she can hold her form in the Cowra Japan Cup, Outback Angel must be considered the one to beat. Cowra Japan Cup Race 7 – #4 Outback Angel (6) 4yo Mare | T: Allan McRae | J: TBC (55kg) +300 with Neds Best Bet at Cowra: Ghielmi The Mitchell Beer-trained Ghielmi looks prepared to strike on debut, surging through the wire in a recent barrier trial victory at Nowra on September 23. The Toronado gelding went on to score by four lengths on that occasion, and although his most recent trial on a Heavy surface at Kembla Grange left a lot to be desired, it’s worth forgiving on such testing conditions. Getting back on top of the ground should be ideal, and with Nick Heywood set to gain an economical run from stall six, Ghielmi should have no issues justifying the short price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Bet Race 2 – #5 Ghielmi (6) 3yo Gelding | T: Mitchell Beer | J: Nick Heywood (57.5kg) +140 with BlondeBet Next Best at Cowra: Victory Roll Victory Roll got a pass mark returning in the Moruya Cup on January 6 and was always going to find the 1425m short of his best trip. The son of Belardo looked to be gone in the final 400m before picking himself off the canvas, doing his best work late to get within six lengths of Charlemagne who was already off-and-gone with the prize. He may be better with sting out of the ground considering he’s yet to figure on a Good surface; however, with a class edge on his rivals, expect Victory Roll to be right in this when the whips are cracking. Next Best Race 3 – #3 Victory Roll (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Pat Murphy | J: Shaun Guymer (59.5kg) +200 with Picklebet Sunday quaddie tips for Cowra Cowra quadrella selections January 19, 2025 1-2-6-8-9 2-3-4-7 4-6-10 1-4-5-6 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
