By Mike Love Leithfield Beach trainer Robbie Holmes is hoping Dreams Pat ($46.00FF) can “keep his feet on the ground” in today’s Group 3 Elite Stride DG Jones Memorial Banks Peninsula Cup HCP Trot. The $40,000 race over 2810m takes place on the grass at Motukarara racecourse at 4.43pm. The four-year-old Father Patrick gelding has been an enigma for Holmes in recent months but has begun to prove his worth in recent runs off the property. “We headed down to the Methven trials (August 30) and he put it all together, running home nicely through the middle. Then we went back to the trials at Rangiora (September 3) where he stayed together too. Then of course Oamaru last week where he won really well,” said Holmes. “He’s come through the run well. He’s done a bit down the beach.” The consistent improvement in Dreams Pat could be put down to Holmes’ training regime altering recently, as well as intentionally staying away from Addington Raceway. “He’s been under the saddle at the moment. Staying away from Addington seems to be good. He’d make his mistakes in the same places. He’s starting to keep his feet on the ground.” Today will undoubtedly be the biggest test to date for the rating 52 trotter taking on trotters already proven at the highest end of the spectrum, including millionaire earner and race favourite Oscar Bonavena ($2.60FF). “He’s been on the grass before. But he’s never been over 2800m. He’ll follow them around and hopefully roll home again down the big long straight,” said Holmes. “Whatever happens today he needs to get savvy for cup time so he’ll keep racing until then.” Holmes also lines up Cappaha ($21.00FF) in race eleven the BPTC Supports The Bone Marrow Cancer Trust trot over 2170m. “He’s good. He just keeps making mistakes.” Similar to Dreams Pat, Cappaha has been having issues on the final bend of its races. Holmes is hoping the more subtle bends typical of grass tracks will trick Cappaha into staying in its gait. “The bends will be a bit more generous. He panics a bit going around that last bend. Hopefully the grass will help him and we can help him overcome his mental challenges,” said Holmes. Holmes also takes an outside drive when he links up with the David Thompson trained Acento ($3.40FF) in race nine the Vivacious-Vibrant Lifestyle Fashion In Halswell Mobile pace over 2000m. “She trialled up nice and raced well at Methven fresh up,” said Holmes. Having her second start today after finishing second fresh up, the seven-year-old Gold Ace mare will begin favourite from a wider draw and Holmes suggests the tactics will be dependent on the mood of the mare. “She’s drawn out a little bit. She’s the decider in whether we go forward or not!” The programme today also includes two races for the Blue September fundraiser with all ambassadors from across the country taking part. The first is carded as Race 4, the Bruno, Brooke & Leo Support Blue September Trot over 2170m, where Grettymac ($4.50FF) for Rory McIlwrick and Amendment ($3.20FF) for Ricky May are current favourites. Race 7, the Shaddy & Hamesy Blue September Drivers’ Challenge Pace over 2170m is the other of the two events, where Jake ($3.60FF) for John Dunn is the current favourite. Race one gets underway today at 11:40am. View the full article -

She didn't have the greatest of beginnings, but 'TDN Rising Star' Ragtime (Union Rags) was flying late to nail the top flight and take home the hardware in the GIII Dogwood Stakes. Racing without blinkers here, Ragtime broke a touch awkwardly and it left her with a lot to do as she found herself at the back of the field as a result. 'TDN Rising Star' Delightful Claire (Vekoma) stepped out to dictate the pace through an opening quarter in :22.84 and a half in :45.55, and was well clear of the eventual winner as the field turned for home. Ragtime had ridden the rail off the bend, but had a wall of horses in front of her with only a small chance at daylight to her outside. Sneaking into that hole as 28-1 longshot Strong State (Tom's d'Etat) came roaring from the outside, Ragtime sailed away from that challenger to win with air to spare. Delightful Claire held on for third. The 'Rising Star' was last seen running an ultra-game second to Kilwin (Twirling Candy) at Saratoga in the GI Test Stakes and before that had been unbeaten in her young career with blow out wins at the venue against maidens as well as first-level allowance company.

Godolphin homebred Immersive (f, 3, Nyquist–Gap Year, by Bernardini), the unbeaten Eclipse champion 2-year-old filly of 2024, got back on track with her first visit to the winner's circle as a 3-year-old. It's not that she was ever far from it: two months after her GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies win, Godolphin announced she would be given some time off due to bone bruising. Immersive returned to the races in June at Churchill, finishing a neck behind MSW & GISP Take Charge Milady (Take Charge Indy) in the Monomoy Girl Stakes in her first start in seven months. It was off to Saratoga and the GI CCA Oaks, where no one could catch the romping Scottish Lassie (McKinze). Immersive was second that day. Routed back to Brad Cox's Churchill base and Saturday's Seneca Overnight Stakes, Immersive gave a little hop out of the inside gate and took control with her ears flicking back and forth. Under a firm Florent Geroux hold at 3-5, Immersive got the first quarter in a sensible :24.10 and the half in :48.16 as a pair tailed her and the others trailed a good eight or so lengths in arrears. As the tempo quickened on the turn, Ivory and Ebony (Spun to Run) challenged from inside Immersive, briefly sticking her nose in front and floating the champ wide off the turn. The two bumped, but Immersive was unfazed, kicking clear late to win by two lengths. The Seneca Overnight marked Immersive's fourth black-type victory. In addition to the Breeders' Cup, she also captured the GI Spinaway Stakes and GI Alcibiades Stakes last year. Hailing from the same family as GISW Madcap Escapade (Hennessy), the winner's dam is out of GI Ballerina winner Dubai Escapade (Awesome Again), a $2-million Barretts purchase by John Ferguson on behalf of Godolphin. Immersive's winning dam, also a Godolphin homebred, has a yearling filly by Street Sense and is barren for 2026. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
