Juvenile filly Abbakiss (Microphone) gave Bryce Newman plenty to look forward to with a professional victory in the Johnson Brothers (1000m) at Tauherenikau on Sunday. A compact field of five assembled for the juvenile contest, with Te Akau Racing’s trial winner Carsolio heavily-backed to salute on debut and closed a $1.20 favourite, ahead of Abbakiss at $6.90. The filly was a stride slow at the jump, but quickly strode up to take the inside running, while Carsolio was posted three-wide to the home turn. Abbakiss straightened with an advantage on Carsolio, and despite the colt clearly heading her at the 100m, she came firing back through on the rail for Kavish Chowdhoory and won by a long neck, with Hello My Dear a further five lengths adrift in third. The victory came at Abbakiss’ second start, after finishing third behind Cool Aza Rene at Otaki in mid-October. Newman, based at Bulls, was delighted with her performance. “She went really well today, Kavish rode her super and has ridden her in most of her work,” he said. “She only had the one trial, so she was still quite green at Otaki, but Kavish said she was brilliant today, she behaved and did everything right. “She’s a beautiful type of filly, she’s got a bit of scope and length to her which is encouraging. I don’t think she’s an out-and-out two-year-old, so that’s quite exciting going forward.” A daughter of Microphone, Abbakiss was purchased by Raumai Bloodstock for $60,000 out of Carlaw Park’s draft at the 2024 Karaka Yearling Sales. Out of a Dubawi mare Arabian Gift, Abbakiss is a full-sister to Cantatrice, a flashing debut winner on the Cambridge Synthetic in September for Te Akau Racing. “Michelle and I picked her out at the sales, we just liked her and she’s a really gorgeous looking filly. It’s nice when you make a decision and a plan works out,” Newman said. “She looks like a real athlete, which will influence our decisions going forward. We think she’s going to be a lovely three-year-old, she’s got so much leg underneath her so we’re not going to make any plans at this stage. “We’ll sit on the fence for the next couple of weeks, we may possibly make a plan on going north, but that’s not the be all and end all. We’ll put her first, we want some longevity out of her as well. “It’s all very well if you’ve got lots and lots of them, but we’ve only got a couple of two-year-old’s, so we are just really happy to have one up and going early.” For a large ownership syndicate, Abbakiss has earned just shy of $18,000 in two career starts, with plenty of the owners on-course to enjoy her success on Sunday. “There were quite a few of the owners there, I always say if the horse is making you get up in the grandstand and yell, it’s going well and doing a good job, whether they win or run a place,” Newman said. “It was great, and a few of them appreciate that it’s quite special to have a two-year-old up and running too, that’s not always that easy and not many of them do it.” View the full article -

Pride Of Jenni (Pride Of Dubai), last season’s Australian Racehorse Of The Year and a three-time Group One winner, has been retired following Saturday’s A$3 million Gr.1 Champions Mile (1600m). Bred by Cambridge thoroughbred nursery Trelawney Stud, Pride Of Jenni was sold through Segenhoe Stud’s 2019 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale draft for $100,000 to Tony and Lyn Ottobre’s Cape Schanck Stud. She showed promise from an early stage and finished second in the Gr.2 Rose Of Kingston Stakes (1410m), Gr.1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) and Gr.2 Stocks Stakes (1600m), before she burst into stardom during last year’s Melbourne Cup Week. Adopting her devastating front-running style in the A$1 million Gr.1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m), Pride Of Jenni held off fellow Kiwi-bred mare Atishu to collect her first elite-level crown, and seven days later it was déjà vu for the Flemington crowd, with the daughter of Pride Of Dubai defeating Mr Brightside and Alligator Blood in the A$3 million Gr.1 Champions Mile (1600m) in similar fashion. The Ciaron Maher-trained mare’s dazzling form continued into the autumn, with game second placings in the Gr.1 C.F Orr Stakes (1400m) and A$3 million Gr.1 Australian Cup (2000m), overshadowed by an outstanding victory in the A$3.7 million All Star Mile (1600m), but even that performance was nothing on what she produced at Randwick on April 13. Contesting the $5 million Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m), Pride Of Jenni was taken to the front by Declan Bates, and she led the field by as much as 30 lengths on her way to what was widely-regarded as one of the most unbelievable victories seen on a racecourse in Sydney. In her seven-year-old term, Pride Of Jenni continued to perform at the highest level and won the Gr.2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) alongside placings in the Gr.1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) and $5 million Gr.1 King Charles III Stakes (1600m), but after unplaced runs in the A$5 million Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) and the Champions Mile, time was called on her phenomenal career. Pride Of Jenni accumulated more than A$10 million in stakes earnings through her career, and Cherry Taylor, co-director of Trelawney Stud, couldn’t have been prouder. “She’s just been an incredible mare, a great flagship for the stud,” Taylor said. “We’re just so proud of her, she’s such a beautifully-natured mare and so kind, it’s so lovely that she was able to fulfil the potential that she got to. “I thought that her performance in the Queen Elizabeth, where she was out by 30 lengths, was incredible. A lot of people thought she wouldn’t be able to hold on, but she did, and it wasn’t an insignificant field, she beat Mr Brightside and Via Sistina, and other amazing horses that day. “We were there for the Empire Rose and then went for the Cox Plate this year, and although she was coming to the end of her career, it was still amazing to be there. I was talking to her beforehand and she gave me a big kiss, she is truly a beautiful horse. “We’re really excited for her future now, being a mare she can go on and breed and we can watch her foals. We’re thrilled to bits to see the next chapter, and thrilled for Tony and Lyn (Ottobre).” The dam of Pride Of Jenni, Sancerre, has a two-year-old filly by Per Incanto that was retained by Trelawney Stud, named Pouilly Fume. “We’ve got a third-quarter sister, she’s a two-year-old, and we’re really looking forward to racing her,” Taylor said.
