Darwin’s leading jockey Jarrod Todd returns to scale aboard the Ella Clarke-trained Debating at Fannie Bay on Saturday. Picture: Caroline Camilleri (Fotofinish Racepix) Jockeys Jarrod Todd and Raymond Vigar had every reason to celebrate at Darwin on Saturday. Todd, 36, booted home his 900th career win aboard the Ella Clarke-trained four-year-old gelding Debating over 1000m at 0-58 level. Vigar, 29, was victorious in only his second Fannie Bay appearance since landing a winning double on Darwin Cup Day in August 2020 when the Phil Cole-trained four-year-old gelding Bryce prevailed over 1200m in BM54 company. Debating, starting at $3.40 with online bookmakers, led comfortably for a major portion of the race before the son of Reward For Effort overcame Cole’s fast-finishing $2.90 favourite Rhesus, ridden by Vigar, by half a length. The winner of so many races for Ella’s father Gary, it was prophetic that Todd achieved his milestone aboard a horse trained by the Clarkes. Jarrod Todd’s 900th Career Win – 17/11/24 Darwin Race 5 (Debated) https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Darwin-171124-Darwin-Race-5-Debating-Jarrod-Todd-Ella-Clarke.mp4 PlayUp hope – left the fence with 200m to go before catching Gary Clarke’s Starspangledancer ($3.30) to win by three quarters of a length. Todd, who relocated to Darwin six years ago, has been the leading jockey in the Top End and Country premiership for the past five years with 298 wins in the bank. Arriving from New Zealand, Todd rode in Victoria before heading to the NT in 2014 where he featured during the Darwin and Alice Springs Cup Carnivals. In early 2018, Todd and his family moved to Alice Springs. He remained in the Red Centre until Cup Carnival ended in May before moving to Darwin where joined the Cole stable. Todd succeeded Brendon Davis for Gary Clarke and in 2022 he won the Darwin Cup (2050m) on Playoffs, the Palmerston Sprint (1200m) on Syncline and the Alice Springs Cup (2000m) on Count Of Essex for the Top End’s 12-time champion trainer. It was Todd’s second Darwin Cup after Royal Request delivered for Neil Dyer in 2017. Vigar hadn’t ridden for 47 months after dealing with issues away from the track – he also faced charges in Court that were quashed. He last appeared at Murray Bridge on New Year’s Day in 2021 before pursuing a trade where he is now a qualified plumber. Vigar, who debuted as an apprentice in Alice Springs in August 2012, is now based in Darwin and almost won first up on Melbourne Cup Day when second aboard Ankle Rolex for Patrick Johnston. Apart from winning the 2016 Darwin Cup on Michael Hickmott’s Canny Ballad, Vigar also won the Alice Springs Cup on Kym Healy’s Pretty Blonde and Palmerston Sprint on Garry Lefoe’s Niccoco in 2017.

Palmerston North still run a meeting with only ten or so northern visitors, if they dont run mini meetings then its probably goodnight nurse for cd harness Winton today, while a bit better not much though, not sure if the weather having some influence, maybe too much racing or simply not as many training horses these days. -

Favoured at 6-5 in this step up to stakes company, Croix Du Nord (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}) duly delivered in the G2 Tokyo Sports Hai Nisai Stakes on Saturday. After an even break, he soon ranged up in between horses to sit third behind a freewheeling Satono Shining (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}) and second choice Red Kingly (Jpn) (Saturnalia {Jpn}), a few lengths behind. Poised to pounce after 1000 metres in 1:00.90, he inched into second and took dead aim on the pacesetter. Charging up to even terms at the 400-metre pole, he gradually subdued that game rival to win by three-quarters of a length. Red Kingly held on for third, 1 1/2 lengths back. Pedigree Notes Shadai Stallion Station's Kitasan Black is the sire of 11 black-type winners with Croix Du Nord his eighth group winner. The two-time Japanese Horse of the Year and six-time Group 1 winner is best known as the father of international superstar Equinox (Jpn) and G1 Satsuki Sho hero Sol Oriens (Jpn). The 11th foal out of Rising Cross (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) who won the G2 Park Hill Stakes and was placed in both the G1 Oaks and G1 Irish Oaks, Croix Du Nord won a Tokyo newcomers' affair by 2 1/2 lengths when unveiled on June 9. Rising Cross has a yearling full-brother to the winner, and a weanling filly by Satono Diamond (Jpn). Derby winners Morston (Fr) (Ragusa {GB}) and Blakeney (GB) (Hethersett {GB}) are part of this clan.

In my experience many trainers prefer NOT to work them in the blinkers. Just put them on race day for the first time. Where did you get the idea that they do?
