Looks like virtually the whole House stable heading to Manawatu. Hope he wins every race. Pity there was no pick six running anymore -
watching the racing at cambridge tonight. Those world drivers champs races have really lifted the bar by a long way as far as racing quality goes. Each driver out to achieve the best possible placing with no pre conceived plan to help anyone else,every horse being driven well and all punters clearly able to understand their drivers every moves.Also 10 starters instead of the normal 6 we see at the average meetings up there. It just goes to show that cambridge can provide a high quality product to bet on even with the horses that race mid week and on the track they have. -

Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) is much closer to the end of his career than he is the start, but Ben Hayes sees no reason why the Lindsay Park mainstay can’t land another Champions Mile at Flemington this Saturday. The eight-year-old heads to the $3 million Group 3 off a gutsy second placing in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on October 18, which has him primed for back-to-back Champions Mile wins. It is a return to the scene of his third-straight Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) win on September 13, which followed a Memsie Stakes (1400m) second placing, and Hayes said he could be going as well as ever. “I think, arguably, you could say he is,” Hayes, who trains in partnership with brother Will and JD, said. “He’s come back and his three runs to date have been fantastic and he’s showing no signs of training off. “He’s an eight-year-old that every trainer would love. He’s won 10 Group 1s, he’s placed in 10 and he’s also won an All Star Mile, so he’s a very special horse to Lindsay Park.” Mr Brightside’s connection with the Champions Mile stretches back to when it was known as the Cantala Stakes and was run on Derby Day. He finished fourth in that event in 2021, which was won by Superstorm, was third behind Alligator Blood and Tuvalu in the inaugural Champions Day edition in 2022 and beat home all-bar Pride Of Jenni in 2023. He defeated star milers Antino, Fangirl and Stefi Magnetica in last year’s Champions Mile, which was one of the highest-rating Group 1 races run in Australia last season. Twenty-four of Mr Brightside’s 47 starts have been at 1600m, for 13 wins, six seconds and one third, with his last placing in Hong Kong’s Champions Mile in April the only time he has missed a quinella spot in his past 13 starts at the trip. He and rider Craig Williams have the second-widest alley to deal with in Saturday’s 10-horse race, which includes his King Charles III Stakes conqueror Ceolwulf (seven), Empire Rose Stakes winner Pride Of Jenni (two), Cox Plate placegetter Treasurethe Moment (three) and Doncaster Mile heroine Stefi Magnetica (one). “It’s a hard race to win and he’s got some pretty stiff competition as well,” Hayes said. “There’s some horses there that have beaten him before and he’s also beaten them, so it’s going to be a really interesting race. “He’s good enough, I know that, he’s a special horse for us and we believe in him.” View the full article -

Robbie Patterson unveiled a star three-year-old at Wednesday’s New Plymouth meeting last year, and 12 months down the track, another daughter of Derryn made a sparkling debut on his home track. That filly was Leica Lucy, who won six of her seven starts, five of those at Group level, for Patterson including the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) before joining Chris Waller’s barn in Sydney. This spring she added placings in the Gr.1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) and Gr.1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) to her burgeoning record. This year, it was the turn of The Dirty Dee (NZ) (Derryn), who presented beautifully for the Entain/NZB Insurance Series Fillies and Mares (1400m) and performed accordingly. Patterson had been wary of the Good 3 surface after the filly had trialled well on rain-affected ground, but punters were behind her, backing her into odds-on favouritism ahead of La Cadiere. One of the outsiders in Volente dislodged jockey Toni Davies as the gates opened but the field got away clear of that runner, The Dirty Dee showing good early speed under Craig Grylls who was content in sitting in the trail of leader La Luna. A gap opened for Grylls at the top of the straight and the filly skipped through, kicking clear of her rivals at the 200m and continuing to extend that margin to the line, the final margin 3–¼ lengths to La Cadiere. Patterson reminisced on the feats of Leica Lucy post-race, with a hope that The Dirty Dee could be on a similar trajectory this term. “She’s a Derryn, and I won this race last year with a horse called Leica Lucy in her first start and she won this race like this as well, so hopefully I’ve got another one,” he said. “They were both unassuming, lovely horses and I loved the way she presented today and her demeanour. I knew she had ability and I think Gryllsy will give us a pretty good wrap. “It’s always unknown going to the races and I’d watched Ben’s (Foote) horse (La Cadiere) and it’s shown a lot of ability as well, so you never know, but she’s obviously a lovely filly. “It’s a bit like Leica Lucy really, just get through today and then target the three-year-old fillies races with her. She’ll get a mile because she’s so relaxed, there’s good races coming up and any shower of rain would help her. “I definitely think she is (good enough for black-type).” As expected, Grylls had plenty of praise for the filly who had been ultra-professional in her first raceday appearance. “She was very impressive, she jumped well and there was good speed, so I elected to take a sit,” he said. “I was lucky that the one outside the leader was hanging a bit and I was able to get away, then I didn’t have to go for her too much. “She’s really kicked away, so she’s quite exciting at this stage. She’s having a good puff too, so whatever she’s done she’ll improve from. “She felt good on the track which is getting pretty firm now, it didn’t seem to worry her too much. A bit of give wouldn’t her hurt either. “She’s very tractable for a green horse having her first start, she did everything lovely.” Bred and raced by Eddie and Nicola Bourke and Allan Piercy, The Dirty Dee is the third winner of three horses to race out of the O’Reilly mare The Duchessa. Each trained by Patterson, The Dutch Dame was a two-race winner, while The Mistress won three from just nine starts. View the full article
