A Naval Crown colt and a Ten Sovereigns filly have been supplemented to next week's Goffs Doncaster Premier Yearling Sale. Set for Doncaster on Wednesday, August 27 and a Thursday, August 28, the sale features over 400 yearlings with sessions beginning at 10 a.m. The colt, consigned by Coulonces Sales as lot 191A, is out of the Shamardal mare Glamour Queen, herself a daughter of the Group 1 winner Be Fabulous and a full-sister to listed winner and multiple group-placed Sublimis. Lot 354A, offered by Baroda Stud, is a half-sister to £410,000 Donny Breeze-Up Sale graduate Novelette, who was purchased by MV Magnier. Novelette has won her last two starts and the duo are from the family of talented sprinter Moonlight Cloud (Invincible Spirit). All yearlings will be eligible for the £500,000 Harry's Half Million at York in 2026.

By Jonny Turner It should be straightforward for one of Phil Williamson’s rising stars, but not as easy for another in the finals of the Southern Surge. Southern harness racing’s newest series is set to finish with a bang with eight outstanding finals set down to be run at Gore on Sunday. The Williamson-trained Rangitata could claim the title of being New Zealand’s best handicapped horse when he starts in the first final of the Southern Surge. The three-year-old was a powerful winner of his first start in the first round of series heats, crushing his rivals despite sitting parked throughout. As part of the series, Rangitata will race many of the same maiden rivals he conquered at Winton on level marks as a one-win horse. With the excellent manners and big motor he showed in his debut victory, the trotter is likely to start the shortest-priced favourite in all of the Southern Surge Finals. It is not quite so simple for star three-year-old Tarragindi in his Southern Surge Final. His challenge at Gore will be to overcome a 10m handicap over 2200m, starting from the outside of the second row. On Sunday, Tarragindi will reunite with Matthew Williamson who has been itching to get back in the sulky behind the progressive three-year-old. When they last combined, the pair produced outstanding form which included a second at Group 1 level at Addington to Meant To Be. Tarragindi will clash with Clotilde Wainwright who beat him fairly and squarely in the first round of Southern Surge heats. The trotter is part of a powerful squad Nathan Williamson starts on Sunday. Always Dreaming looks to be one of the trainer-driver’s strongest winning hopes on the strength of his heat win. The three-year-old was too good for the same field that he meets in his final at Gore, when resuming at Ascot Park. Williamson also starts the unbeaten She’s Crunchy in another Southern Surge Final. The filly made it two-from-two when clearing out to win her heat at Ascot Park. She’s Crunchy clashes with Saucy Delight, the only horse to win in both round one and two of the Southern Surge heats. Jonny Turner’s Five to Follow Tarragindi – Race 7 (3.06pm) He’s big and bold and he’s got the chance to show us how good he can be on Sunday. Tarragindi was beaten fairly and squarely in his last outing at Winton, but there were enough excuses there to give him a pass mark. Aimed at this series and with the final on the line, Sunday is crunch time. Tarragindi has mixed it at Group 1 level and he is on a path to do that again later in the year. If he is as good as many of us think he is, he should be stepping out and winning his Southern Surge Final. That’s not to disrespect his opposition, as there are some handy horses in there. But if he really is all class, trotting fans would love to see it when it counts. She’s Crunchy – Race 8 (3.44pm) She’s unbeaten and she’s classy. The three-year-old will put that unbeaten record on the line in her Southern Surge Final on Sunday. She’s Crunchy is in a match-race with key rival Saucy Delight who has gone two from two in his Southern Surge heat assignments. Though the winning chances certainly don’t end with just these two, what happens early between the pair will be crucial. She’s Crunchy has drawn inside Saucy Delight who has proven in his short career he’s an out-and-out leader. It should be a great battle and a fascinating race, and going into it, She’s Crunchy deserves to be the number 1 seed. Share A Dream – Race 10 (4.54pm) Share A Dream is fast, really fast. And the Gore straight is long, longer than most in Southland. It sounds like a great combination and it should be. The four-year-old has been outstanding recently including claiming another big race prize – a Winter Rewards Final. This time it is harder, though with Share A Dream racing horses realistically around two grades higher. And he hasn’t drawn perfectly in barrier 7. Despite those factors against him, he should be rushing home especially if Sunday’s final is run at a genuine clip. Rangitata – Race 3 (12.44pm) Rangitata is as close as fans will find to a good thing on Southern Surge Finals Day. She’s already beaten the same field of rivals in her brilliant debut win in the first round of heats at Winton. The problem for her rivals is that she’s only likely to be better for that first test under raceday pressure. While it will be hard for many to get too excited about her $1.35 win odds, she’ll have plenty of supporters in multi, quinella and trifecta takers. Trotting purists can also watch on and assess whether Rangitata has the capability to go on to the quality three-year-old trotting fillies races ahead in the spring and summer. Right now, she looks capable of doing just that. Always Dreaming – Race 11 (5.18pm) Sometimes harness racing isn’t that hard, from a form perspective. I have already written this week about how Always Dreaming beat all of his Southern Surge Final rivals when he won his heat at Ascot Park. He even did it from the same draw over the same distance. Why can’t he come to Gore fitter and ready to do it again? The only surprise building into his final is that he opened at a $2.40 win price, when there was a case to have him much shorter. He’s racing quality horses and it’s not just a turn up and win job, but he’s a deserving top pick. View the full article -

By Mike Love Rakaia trainer Stuart Sutherland takes two runners to the Rangiora meeting on Sunday, both of whom look each way chances. Sabi Sands ($4.40FF), in Race 2, the Barnsy’s All Trade Services Pace (1.10pm) over 2000m, is backing up from last Sunday’s debut effort at the Kurow meeting where he ran third. “He’s come through the run well. He’s eating up and seems a happy horse,” said Sutherland. The big four-year-old gelding by Sunshine Beach, who will be driven by Kimberley Butt, has had his fair share of issues along the way, but Sutherland is confident of another good showing – especially if the pace is on over the 2000m trip. “He’s a big horse, and with that come a few problems. But he’s really come right in the last four or five weeks. He’s a bit one-paced, so if they sit and sprint it won’t really suit him – but you never know.” Hi Life ($3.60FF), fresh up for new trainer Geoff Dunn, is current favourite with Riley Harrison in the sulky after a winning trial at Rangiora on August 7. The Sky Major mare has not raced since October last year. Later on the card in Race 8, the Paddy McDaddy Horse Of The Year Trot over 2000m (4.38pm) John Morrison will drive Millie Let Loose. The four-year-old Superfast Stuart mare was a fresh-up winner at Addington on June 29 and has since not had things go her way while still running very respectable races. “She worked really well on Thursday. She’s been bucking and kicking in her paddock, so she seems pretty well,” says Sutherland. Millie Let Loose is generally a good beginner and Sutherland suggests she may try to use that to her advantage though wary of other slick beginners drawn inside her. “We are expecting a good run. She usually steps well, so the 2000m suits her. “It’s a drop in grade, but Fred’s horse (Royal Yankee, $5.00FF) and Matthew (Williamson)’s one (Granny Rose, $3.00FF) also go well from the stand. All going to plan, she’ll step and run that first bit pretty well.” The aforementioned Granny Rose is current race favourite, along with Ruthless Emma ($4.80FF) for trainer and driver Anj Mugford, as well as the Fred Fletcher-trained, Alan Beecroft-driven Royal Yankee. Sutherland trains from his base at Rakaia with friend and trainer Kevin McRae. “We both work our horses together. We work about eight between us at the moment. So it’s quite good to be able to work in with each other.” Race 1 gets underway with the amateur drivers in action at 12:34pm. View the full article -
Wonder if TAB popped into Eden Park, not too many there but Auckland have reached a new low in provincial Rugby, joining Harbour and Counties trailing the field, now you see he don't see things as others see things on many things, so laugh if he must but I'm in a very large silent majority who think the same way, I'm still trying to find people around where I am with 6 fingers, maybe he's got his wires crossed. Interestingly a good interview of Peter Williams on the platform the other day of his move to Central Otago, all those years to eventually see the light but we will concede he didn't go to Auckland because he liked the place, he went as his job was there. -
