    • Cimarron will contest the Whangarei Gold Cup Stayer’s Final (2100m) at Ruakaka on Saturday. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Cimarron has made a smooth transition to middle distance racing and he looks well-placed to further his record at Ruakaka on Saturday. The son of Charm Spirit’s lead-up form on the track has been hard to fault and trainer-owner Jenna Mahoney has every reason to expect more of the same from the five-year-old in the Whangarei Gold Cup Stayer’s Final (2100m). Cimarron has a course and distance victory and two minor placings in his four starts beyond a mile and with Warren Kennedy again booked for the ride they again make an appealing combination. “He’s pretty consistent and since we’ve shifted him up over ground he’s getting even better,” Mahoney said. “He was good last time out and he loves the surface at Ruakaka so we’re making the most if it with him.” Cimarron finished runner-up in a Rating 75 contest in his most recent visit to Ruakaka a fortnight ago and has done well in the interim. “He’s only a three-win horse in an open race, but he gets in nicely and Warren is keen to stay with him so I’m happy about that, he rides him really well,” Mahoney said. “I bought him as a yearling and he can have his moments, but generally he’s pretty easy going.” Cimarron was bought out of Windsor Park Stud’s Karaka draft for $50,000 and is a son of the stakes placed Redoute’s Choice mare Betsy. Her dam Quays won the Group 2 Wakeful Stakes (2000m) and placed at the top level in the Australian Oaks (2400m), Queensland Oaks (2400m) and the Arrowfield Stud Stakes (2000m). Cimarron’s stablemate and Entain/NZB Insurance Pearl Series (1200m) contender Fernandez has also been in good recent touch at Ruakaka with a runner-up finish two runs back before the Per Incanto mare ran fourth after an interrupted passage. “She is a really consistent horse and is rarely out of the money,” Mahoney said. “She will like the good track up there and I’ve been happy with the last couple of runs. The last race didn’t quite go to plan and she got a bit far back and hopefully she can sit a bit handier.” The other member of Mahoney’s team is Love Affirmations. The El Roca gelding was a comfortable winner on the course two runs back and then tailed the field home, but Mahoney is happy to forget that result. “The race just didn’t suit him. He drew the outside gate and Warren (Kennedy) opted to pull back and then they slowed the pace down and sprinted,” she said. “He got left a bit flat on the corner, but he pulled up great and we’ll try and ride him handier this time. He’s better suited that way, it was just the circumstances last time, so we’ll ignore that and move on.” Horse racing news View the full article

Michael Dee was booked for just the second time on the son of Time For War, heading back toward the rear of the field; although, ultimately drawing the favourable grandstand side of the course. It proved to be a winning move from the star jockey, with plenty of speed taking It’sourtime into the race. He was then able to show his electric turn-of-foot after peeling off the backs of some tiring on-speed gallopers. Runner-up Umgawa ($34) had shown some indifferent form, but was able to find second place, while the trifecta spot went the way of Chassis ($21) who also seemed to relish the hot tempo engaged. 2022: Sirius Suspect proves too slick It was as simple as jump, lead and win in the Group 3 Aurie’s Star Handicap for track specialist Sirius Suspect. The Saab Hasan-trained eight-year-old went into the 1200m sprint as a well-supported second favourite as he searched for a fifth win down the Flemington straight. After jumping cleanly from barrier six under Ethan Brown, the son of Wanted controlled the race from the front and gave a terrific kick when asked for a supreme effort, getting away from Shooting For Gold and setting an unassailable margin for Stageman and King Of Sparta to reel in. 2021: The Astrologist sends Group 1 statement The Astrologist managed to take out the Aurie’s Star Handicap at Flemington, claiming his first group success while adding to an impressive form-line as the Spring Carnival approaches. The five-year-old son of Zoustar brought up his third win from his past four starts when holding out Romancer and Too Good Too Hard in the concluding stages of the Group 3 race at Flemington. The horse showed plenty of group 1 potential, after being left vulnerable late on in the Aurie’s Star. The in-form runner hit the lead with 400m to go and managed to keep his rivals at bay. 2020: Ollie salutes again in Aurie’s Star Handicap Champion jockey Damien Oliver has continued his recent domination of the Group 3 Aurie’s Star Stakes, making it four wins in the past seven years and his fifth in total on Home Of The Brave. Godolphin’s Melbourne stable foreman Sean Keogh said Oliver’s quick thinking at the start of the 1200m race secured the win as he had to overcome adversity after receiving a bump from Great Again, who was drawn to his outside. Oliver was then able to stalk Great Again and run him down in the closing stages. Oliver said his mount was sandwiched in the incident but added the horse didn’t jump well anyway and felt he was not overly disadvantaged. Home Of The Brave ($5) defeated Great Again ($4.40 fav) by three-quarters of a length with Game Keeper ($8.50) a long neck away third.

    • Billy Boy will compete at Wanganui on Thursday. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Local trainer Jo Rathbone will be represented by two of her well-performed gallopers in Billy Boy and Mr Twinkletoes at Wanganui’s Thursday meeting. A regular front-runner, Billy Boy returned to the winner’s circle after setting his own terms in the Amateur event at Te Aroha last month, and he will step up in grade. “He just likes to roll along in front at a nice pace, Amber (Riddell, amateur jockey) seems to get along with him and rode him really well there,” Rathbone said. “He’s obviously up in grade tomorrow, but he always tries hard.” A former top jumps jockey, Rathbone has sights on a career over fences for the capable stayer and has noted next month’s Grand National week in Christchurch as a possible starting point for his new career. “I’m hoping to have a bit of a team to go down south and he’s definitely one who may head down,” she said. “He went last year and ran a couple of placings on the flat, but he also has his jumping ticket so I will decide over the next couple of weeks whether he potentially has his first jumping race down there. He jumps pretty nicely.” Lightly-raced four-year-old Mr Twinkletoes returned to the trials after his second-up fourth at New Plymouth in early June. “We went back to the trials as there just wasn’t really a suitable race for him, at times there seems to be a whole lot of options at once then not many,” Rathbone said. “He’s been to Wellington a couple of times and not gone particularly well there, so when you have a horse like him who doesn’t seem to go well at a certain place, you’re a bit stuck for options. “It’ll be the same with him as Billy Boy, we’ll see how he goes tomorrow and decide whether he goes down to Christchurch for some flat races too. “Jumping wouldn’t be in his near future, but all of my horses do a bit of schooling in their work so potentially one day. It all depends on the horse really.” Top apprentice Lily Sutherland will fulfil the rides on both horses, as well as having her third start aboard Nigelnomates, who despite strongly over racing has performed well in both of his appearances to date. “He’s not the easiest to ride, he can go pretty hard early then decide that he’s maybe had enough and make Lily work quite hard,” Rathbone said. “He does have the ability, it’s just getting him into putting his mind on the job and he can be a bit like that in his track work as well.” The son of Preferment has drawn an outside barrier in the capacity field of 12 for the Manawatu Sound Services MDN (1600m). “I think she’ll (Sutherland) just have to play it by air with the draw, he really does his own thing and might either be fierce or miss the start, as he has done in the past,” Rathbone said. “It is a tricky draw especially from the mile start, but I’m sure Lily will have it sorted. “He’s come through his couple of runs well and he shouldn’t be far away I wouldn’t have thought.” Rathbone will also be represented Koda and Julianus, with the latter showing good improvement off a spell first-up at Otaki. “I thought it was quite a nice run first-up and he doesn’t seem to mind a wet track,” Rathbone said. “I can’t see it improving much from a heavy 10 even though we’re having good days, at my place it’s been heavy frosts so that doesn’t allow the track to do much drying. He should handle those conditions though.” Horse racing news View the full article

    • What Happy Valley Races Where Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong When Wednesday, July 10, 2024 First Race 6:35pm HKT (8:35pm AEST) Visit Dabble The final Happy Valley meeting of the Hong Kong racing season is lined up for Wednesday evening, with a competitive nine-part program set for decision. The rail is in the B position throughout the night, and with no significant rain fall expected to hit the course proper, punters can expect a Good 4 surface. All the action under lights is scheduled to get underway at 6:35pm local time. Best Bet at Happy Valley: Supreme Agility Supreme Agility appears set to peak fourth-up into the campaign after a barnstorming effort at this track on June 26. The four-year-old was last turning for home on that occasion, making strong inroads but running out of time to get within two lengths of Chain Of Gold. The extra 150m in this Class 3 contest should be ideal, and with Hong Kong’s leading hoop Zac Purton in the saddle, Supreme Agility will prove hard to hold out as he attempts to break his maiden status. Best Bet Race 9 – #3 Supreme Agility (5) 4yo Gelding | T: Pierre Ng | J: Zac Purton (60kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best at Happy Valley: Prince Of Porty Prince Of Porty looks perfectly placed to pick up his first win of the preparation. He comes through a strong form race at Sha Tin on June 2, only being headed by Lucy In The Sky and Steps Ahead, both of which appear to have plenty of upside. David Hall applies blinkers for the first time as Hugh Bowman hops in the saddle, and with barrier one to aid him on his journey, Prince Of Porty should be figuring in the finish. Next Best Race 7 – #3 Prince Of Porty (1) 5yo Gelding | T: David Hall | J: Hugh Bowman (60kg) Bet with Neds Best Value at Happy Valley: Brave Witness Although Brave Witness is winless heading into start 12, the four-year-old appears close to shirking the maiden tag. His last effort at this course and distance resulted in a runner-up finish behind Cordyceps One on May 1, being forced to sprint off a comically slow tempo. He’s only been defeated by a combined two lengths since that performance, and as Karis Teetan hops aboard from barrier one, punters can expect that trend to continue at an each-way price with online bookmakers. Best Value Race 3 – #11 Brave Witness (1) 4yo Gelding | T: Danny Shum | J: Karis Teetan (55kg) Bet with Picklebet Hong Kong quaddie tips – Wednesday 10/7/2024 Happy Valley quadrella selections Wednesday, July 10, 2024 1-3-5-6-9 3-4-6-10 3-4-6-7-8 1-2-3-5-7 Horse racing tips View the full article
