Track inspection prior to abandonment of the meeting at Hastings on Saturday. Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) Matamata is set to host the Group 1 Arrowfield Stud Plate (1600m) for the second time in three years after a slippery track forced the abandonment of Saturday’s blockbuster race meeting at Hastings. The second day of the Hawke’s Bay Spring Carnival had promised so much, with quality fields set to compete under blue skies. But a short burst of rain late on Friday afternoon created a slippery layer on the surface of the track, which was rated Good 4 on Friday and Soft 5 on Saturday morning. The effects of that moisture were easy to see in the opening race on the card. The Kevin Myers-trained Just Charlie clearly slipped, free of any interference, while rounding the turn out of the home straight. The meeting was initially put back by one race while a Verti-Drain was deployed to that section of the track, but a delegation of jockeys and trainers were still not confident that the track would be safe for racing and the meeting was abandoned. “The Hastings track had a full renovation earlier in the year and was in absolutely beautiful condition for the first day of the carnival, so this has probably come out of the blue a little bit,” New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s chief operating officer Darin Balcombe said. “From what we can see, there was 1mm to 3mm of rain yesterday afternoon, which is probably the worst thing that could have happened, and it’s obviously just formed a bit of a slippery layer on top. We can’t say for sure until we have a full review of what’s happened, but that appears to be what the issue is. “It’s a situation we desperately need to avoid. It’s very frustrating and we’ve got to make sure that things like this don’t happen. “The track manager here, Bryce Mildon, is a very good operator and this issue has really come out of left field. “What we’re going to need to do now is thoroughly test the track and see whether the possibility of being back here for the last day of the carnival in two weeks is a reality.” In the meantime, the remainder of Saturday’s abandoned meeting has been rescheduled to be run at Matamata on Wednesday. That includes the Arrowfield Stud Plate and the Group 2 AHD Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m). Both of those feature races were also relocated to Matamata in 2022, when severe weather forced a complete washout of the Arrowfield meeting originally scheduled for Hastings. “We looked at the possibility of coming back on Sunday and rescheduling the Woodville meeting, but at this stage we wouldn’t be comfortable that we could turn the track around, make sure it’s safe and get that testing in before sending the riders back out there,” Balcombe said. “We also looked at staging the meeting at Hastings on Tuesday, but horses going back home to the north and then coming all the way back again, it wouldn’t be a possibility to do that.” New nominations will be required for all of Wednesday’s races aside from the Arrowfield, which was an early-entry race. Preference will be given to horses that were originally accepted for the Hawke’s Bay meeting. Nominations for this new meeting will close on Monday at 9am, with withdrawals closing at midday the same day. The Cambridge meeting which was scheduled for Wednesday will now run on Thursday. Nominations remain open for this meeting until 9am Monday. The Matamata meeting scheduled for next Saturday will now be run at Tauranga. Horse racing news View the full article -

Tyler Schiller and Amor Victorious after winning the Group 2 Shannon Stakes. Photo: bradleyphotos.com.au Bjorn Baker and Tyler Schiller have combined with Amor Victorious ($8.50) to claim victory in the Group 2 Shannon Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon, stamping his authority for a possible tilt towards the Five Diamonds (1800m). It was a front-running masterclass by Schiller taking all luck out of the equation, sliding forward to lead throughout from barrier five. No one wanted to take on the son of Caravaggio for the early lead, allowing Schiller to dictate terms in the middle stages, and although there was some pressure by the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Bases Loaded ($4.40), the five-year-old responded well under the urgings of Schiller. Punch Lane ($15.00), New Endeavour ($26.00) and Osipenko were finishing off well, while the short-priced favourite Celestial Legend ($3.80) was a shade disappointing after missing the start. 2024 Group 2 Shannon Stakes Replay – Amor Victorious It was all about the winner in the end, however, with Bjorn Baker confirming post-race that the Five Diamond would be the major spring target for Amor Victorious. “It was a great win,” said Baker. “Thanks to the owners, they’ve been really patient, Darby Racing of course. We like to put our horses up there and it worked out really well today. “We’ve had a bit of a frustrating run, a lot of placings. Someone said it was an easy watch, I said ‘no it wasn’t, it’s a heck of a long straight’. “His first two runs, he was up against some good horses and at the time he probably didn’t look as good as he can. I even debated whether we ran him today. “I had a talk to Scott (Darby) and he was like ‘it’s up to you’. He was full of beans and we thought with the blinkers on that might just sharpen him up a bit. “We’ve got some good races for him now, we’ve got the Five Diamonds Prelude maybe into the Five Diamonds. It was good to see him do that.” Tyler Schiller confirmed post-race that the saddle shifted at the start, giving more credence to the victory. “Straight out of the gates, I reckon (the saddle shifted),” said Schiller. “He jumped really sharp, did everything right and pretty much I just rode to Bjorn’s instructions. I just quickened up from the 600 and try to get them chasing. He did a great job to tough it out and I thought he was very brave. “I could just feel that the saddle was back further. “I could still put my irons where I could. So I was comfortable but I was just happy that the horse underneath me kept travelling. “I haven’t ridden for him for a while so it’s good to get a winner for Bjorn as well. The team is going great and they’re doing a great job.” Horse racing news View the full article -

What Alice Springs Races Where Pioneer Park Racecourse – Stuart Hwy, Connellan NT 0870 When Sunday, September 8, 2024 First Race 2:35pm ACST Visit Dabble The annual Alice Springs meeting after the AFL grand final takes place on Sunday afternoon, with the five-event program attracting 44 acceptors. The Red Centre received just over 4mm of rain during the week, but it will be mostly sunny on Sunday with a top temperature of 31C. The rail will be in the true position, and Pioneer Park will be a good dirt surface. BEST BET: Omoplata Omoplata boasted two wins from 19 Red Centre starts before the six-year-old gelding produced a stunning last start performance two weeks ago. Returning from a seven-month spell, he was slow out of the inside gate over 1200m (0-58) before gaining momentum along the fence and hitting the front at the 800m. Skipping three lengths clear at the home turn, the son of More Than Ready found another gear to seal an emphatic win by seven lengths. Omoplate carries an extra 3kg, but has drawn a decent barrier and should prove hard to beat. Best Bet Race 1 – #5 Omoplata (2) 6yo Gelding | T: Lisa Whittle | J: Stan Tsaikos (58kg) Bet with Bet365 NEXT BEST BET: Talent Quest Talent Quest is aiming for five straight wins this weekend. Arriving from Victoria, the son of Your Song debuted in July last year and had four minor placings from seven starts before saluting over 1100m (0-58) on November 11. The six-year-old gelding returned from a spell in July and was victorious over 1000m (BM54) before taking out the $40,000 Red Centre Winter Series Final (1200m) at BM66 level. Talent Quest stormed home over the concluding stages to seal a narrow win over 1000m (0-64) three weeks ago. Next Best Race 2 – #1 Talent Quest (5) 6yo Gelding | T: Will Savage | J: Hannah Le Blanc (a3) (60kg) Bet with Neds BEST VALUE: Real Divine Real Divine looked like sealing victory in the home straight before having to settle for second place over 1400m (BM54) a fortnight ago when backmarker The Girl’s Boy swooped late. The six-year-old mare rarely runs a bad race and boasts four wins and six minor placings from 20 starts in the Alice. The daughter of Real Saga – an early $14 quote with horse racing bookmakers – is not without a chance as she eyes her first victory since April. Best Value Race 5 – #8 Real Divine (2) 6yo Mare | T: Kerry Petrick | J: Paul Denton (56kg) Bet with PlayUp Sunday Alice Springs quaddie selections Alice Springs quadrella selections Sunday, September 29, 2024 1-3-4 1-8-9 1-2-3-4 1-3-7-8-10 Horse racing tips View the full article
