What Mornington Races Where Mornington Racecourse – 320 Racecourse Rd, Mornington VIC 3931 When Sunday, September 29, 2024 First Race 1:15pm AEST Visit Dabble Feature racing in Victoria returns to Mornington Racecourse on Sunday afternoon for a competitive eight-race meeting. The Listed R.M. Ansett Classic (2400m) headlines proceedings on a track likely to remain in the Soft range with showers forecast throughout the day. The rail sticks to its true position the entire circuit, with action commencing at 1:15pm AEST. R.M. Ansett Classic Tip: Hit The Road Jack Hit The Road Jack has been racing in fine form this campaign, and having gone down by a neck to Point King in the Group 3 Archer Stakes (2500m) at Flemington, he shapes as the one to beat in Sunday’s feature. The eight-year-old gelding draws to gain a perfect run in transit from barrier one, and with a genuinely run 2400m event expected, the race shapes up perfectly for Hit The Road Jack to absorb the pressure throughout and pounce on some vulnerable leaders. R.M. Ansett Classic Race 7 – #2 Hit The Road Jack (1) 8yo Gelding | T: Symon Wilde | J: Harry Coffey (56kg) Bet with Picklebet Best Bet at Mornington: Bridal Waltz Bridal Waltz could not have been more impressive when winning upon return at Tatura on September 10. The three-year-old filly ran her rivals ragged in maiden company by close to three lengths and in the small six-horse field, with 3kg claiming apprentice Emily Poznan on board, a similar run is likely. She will need to be quick out of the barriers to cross those drawn underneath, but with the claim coming in handy, Bridal Waltz can dance to victory once again. Best Bet Race 3 – #4 Bridal Waltz (7) 3yo Filly | T: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman | J: Emily Poznan (a3) (59kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Mornington: Matawai The Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr)-trained Matawai has been impressive in her last two starts at Sandown, winning in determined fashion two runs back before flashing home late to be beaten a half-head when finishing fourth. With four runs under her belt this campaign, she will be rock-hard fit, unlike key market rival Alma Rise, who will want further than 1600m. Luke Currie will have the Almanzor mare settled towards the rear of the field, but with a strong finish under the bonnet, Matawai will prove too hard to hold out. Next Best Race 6 – #3 Matawai (3) 4yo Mare | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Luke Currie (59kg) Bet with Playup Sunday quaddie tips for Mornington Mornington quadrella selections Sunday, September 29, 2024 1-4-5-6-7-8 3-5 1-2-4 2-3-4-7 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -

Evergreen galloper Green Luck showed there was still plenty of life left in his ten-year-old legs as he downed his younger rivals to take out the Waimakariri Businesses North Canterbury Cup (2000m), the feature event at Riccarton on Saturday. The former Hong Kong galloper arrived in New Zealand back in 2022 after commencing his career in Australia, where he was successful in two of his three starts before heading to Hong Kong where he won another six races and more than $1million in prizemoney. Once in New Zealand he joined the stable of Paul Harris winning once before being transferred to Stephanie Faulkner upon the tragic passing of Harris earlier this year, where he took out the Gr.3 Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m) from her Timaru-based stable back in April. Faulkner had the son of Street Cry in good nick for the fourth run of his current campaign and he rewarded his loyal followers with a typically gritty effort for rider Tina Comignaghi, leading early on before taking a trail behind pacemakers Fablue and Taramea Lad. Comignaghi pushed through a gap at the 300m and Green Luck hit the front before shaking off a host of challenges to score by just on a length from Lombardi and Loftys Gift. Faulkner’s husband Peter was on hand to accept congratulations after another emotional victory. “A very big thrill as I wasn’t here when he won the Canterbury Gold Cup as I was at my sister’s wedding, so it’s nice to be here and win another Cup,” Faulkner said. “He has been building every start and getting better each time, so what more can you say.” Comignaghi was also full of praise for the veteran performer. “He is great, such a beautiful ride and tries so hard,” she said. “I think he is a horse that you can do anything you want on him as my plan was to lead, but it didn’t pan out so we took a trail and he settled so well. “You can’t tell he is as old as he is as he feels great and is a beautiful horse.” Green Luck has now won 11 races from 64 starts and added a further $28,750 to his stakes earnings which now stand at just over $1.3million.

Nine-year-old warhorse Times Ticking (NZ) (Tavistock) upstaged his younger rivals with a brilliant first-up performance in Saturday’s Marshall Batteries Open Handicap (1400m) at Riccarton. The $50,000 feature marked the beginning of a seventh season of racing for the Tavistock gelding, who had not been seen on raceday since he ran seventh in the Easter Cup (1600m) on May 4. Coming up against a talented line-up on a Good3 surface that might be expected to be too firm for his liking, Times Ticking was somewhat overlooked as an $11.70 sixth favourite in a field of nine. But after Ears Back (NZ) (Jakkalberry) and Riviera Rebel (NZ) (Pure Champion) set a red-hot pace out in front, apprentice jockey Denby-Rose Tait angled Times Ticking to the outside of the track at the top of the home straight, and the veteran launched a withering run from third-last. In contrast to the favourite Perfect Scenario (NZ) (Iffraaj), whose momentum was interrupted by traffic trouble closer to the inside, Times Ticking bounded into contention with big, powerful strides out wide. He hit the front in the final 100m and dashed clear, beating Perfect Scenario by three-quarters of a length. “I think that’s one of the most special wins of my career,” said Tait, who picked up another win earlier on the Riccarton card with Amiinit (NZ) (Eminent). “I can’t take a whole lot of the credit. I probably wanted to be a little bit handier than where we ended up, but it was just the way the race panned out. I managed to get him to the outside in the straight, and he just let down like the great horse that he is. “He’s beaten some quality horses first-up today. Who says age matters? He’s still got it, that’s for certain.” Times Ticking has had 40 starts for 12 wins, six placings and $474,000 in prize-money. Those dozen victories include the Gr.3 Spring Sprint (1400m), Gr.3 Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m) and Gr.3 Trentham Stakes (2100m). Times Ticking was trained to 11 of those wins by his co-breeder and part-owner Alby MacGregor, who decided not to renew his licence this season and has entrusted the horse to his son Dean. “This is a huge thrill,” Dean McGregor said on Saturday. “The horse is a classy old customer and it’s great that he’s come back so well. “Being a year older, you’re never quite sure how they’re going to come back, but he obviously still has a bit of ping in those legs. “I would have been a lot more confident today if we’d had a bit of rain. I thought some of the others might be a bit too quick for him on firm ground. But he’s let down very well in the straight. “Denby-Rose gave him a great ride, and her claim was a big help today too. It’s been a while since he’s carried as little as 56kg.” View the full article -

Talented New Zealand import Firestorm (NZ) (Satono Aladdin) improved her perfect four-year-old record to two-from-two with another impressive win at Rosehill on Saturday, heading a Kiwi-bred trifecta in the A$160,000 EGroup Protective Services Handicap (1900m). Firestorm showed promise on both sides of the Tasman as a three-year-old last season, finishing sixth in the Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) before relocating to Australia and running fourth in the Gr.3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m), third in the Listed Princess Stakes (1600m), third in the Gr.3 Drinkwise Mile (1600m) and midfield in the Gr.1 Queensland Oaks (2200m). The daughter of Satono Aladdin produced a bold four-year-old debut earlier this month, storming home from the back to win impressively over 1500m at Rosehill. She relished the extra 400m of her second-up assignment on Saturday and delivered more of the same. Firestorm was ridden patiently by James McDonald, who settled well back in the field before beginning to build her momentum in the straight. Fellow Kiwi-bred galloper Raf Attack (NZ) (Satono Aladdin) rounded the home turn in front and fought hard all the way down the straight, but then the backmarkers charged at him on both flanks. Firestorm flashed through on his inside, with the favourite Unusual Legacy (NZ) (Unusual Suspect) chiming in wider out. Firestorm and Unusual Legacy pulled away from the field to fight out a tight finish, with Firestorm snatching a narrow win. Raf Attack held on for third. “Firestorm has come back really well,” trainer Chris Waller said. “She’s gone to a new level in this preparation. It’s as simple as that. “She’s been given two nice rides and has scored two nice wins, and she’s going about things the right way. “I was in two minds today around where she was heading. We were stepping straight up to 1900m second-up, and I was wondering whether that would suit. She certainly put her hand up to say that she can stay. “We’re running a bit late for the Cups this spring, so we’ve just got to pick out some nice races to meet in the middle and still perhaps give her a chance to get towards something big. We’ll find a nice 2000m race for her next and then see where we’re at.” Waller was also pleased with the effort of the lightly raced second placegetter Unusual Legacy. “There was a bit of speed on today and he probably just got left a bit flat-footed,” he said. “Provided he gets in the field, he’ll back up with a light weight in the Metropolitan (Gr.1, 2400m) next Saturday.” Firestorm was bred and originally owned by Carl Ferguson. She is one of three winners from five foals to race out of the Istidaad mare Dancing Embers (NZ) (Istidaad), who herself won three races and placed in the Listed Metropolitan Trophy (2500m) at Riccarton. Firestorm has had 15 starts for four wins, two placings and A$256,303 in stakes. View the full article
