Brett Crawford’s “fairy tale” start to his Hong Kong training career continued when Encountered flashed home to recapture the Group Three Sa Sa Ladies’ Purse (1,800m) at Sha Tin on Sunday. The Churchill galloper had been winless in 18 runs after winning the race in 2023 for David Hall and signs of a revival last year were limited, including a midfield finish in this race 12 months ago. He switched stables into Crawford’s care ahead of this season and after a pair of promising runs in Class Two...View the full article -

After a typical slow start to the season and 87 runners without a victory, John Size made an emphatic return to the winners’ enclosure with a treble at Sha Tin on Sunday. The 13-time champion Hong Kong trainer managed just two wins and a frustrating 19 placings from the first 18 meetings of the season, before he struck with Sight Hermoso, Ka Ying Power and the impressive Szeryng on Sunday. “Normally, as you’ve probably read 1,000 times, we have slow starts to seasons but as long as we get going...View the full article -
As long as their there for the races, last couple cups I went to, they where there alright, but the didn't look likely they were there for the racing, more like the liquid refreshments, was a few years ago, be good if things have changed. -

The autumn campaign of Champions Mile winner Ceolwulf (NZ) (Tavistock) is likely to have a major bearing on whether trainer Joe Pride puts the Cox Plate, to be run at Flemington, firmly on his stable star’s 2026 spring agenda. Pride is looking to give Ceolwulf another chance to prove his effectiveness at 2000m next autumn as his biggest wins to date have been his four Gr.1 successes over 1600m, which include back-to-back King Charles III Stakes at Randwick and Saturday’s Champions Mile in his first visit to Melbourne. Speaking on Sunday morning on SEN’s Correct Weight program after Ceolwulf’s stirring heavy track win at Flemington on Saturday, Pride indicated a goal for next campaign would certainly be to see whether Ceolwulf can also prove himself at the elite level over 2000m. “And I’m open to the fact that that may not be the case,” Pride told SEN. “I’m not blinded by the fact that he’s a good horse and he’ll just be able to do that. He has run some great races at 2000m – he’s run second in a Rosehill Guineas – but I think it’s fair to say his best performances so far have been in fast-run miles. And I guess what I’d be banking on there, to help us do this, as he gets a bit older and now that he’s wearing the blinkers that he’s able to adapt to some muddling tempos that he may get in those 2000m races.” Ceolwulf’s most recent attempt in a 2000m feature was a fifth placing to Via Sistina in the Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes last autumn. That race again shapes as one likely option during the autumn. Speaking about that possibility of giving Ceolwulf his chance to win a Cox Plate next spring, Pride has a quandary given Ceolwulf has been dominant in the past two King Charles III Stakes. “Look, it’s going to be difficult because we’ve got the King Charles and unless those dates are going to change next year, the King Charles being the week before is the fly in the ointment there for me,” Pride said. “But the autumn is going to basically decide whether we should be targeting the Cox Plate. Now if he’s good at 2000m but not great, I think I’d have to have rocks in my head not aiming him at the King Charles again. But that’s something that will be determined by his autumn campaign.” What has also buoyed Pride, in regard to future options for Ceolwulf, is how the five-year-old handled his first interstate trip to win the Champions Mile.

Cambridge trainer Andrew Forsman and jockey Craig Grylls proved a potent combination at Tauherenikau on Sunday, claiming three of the eight races across the afternoon. Both were coming off the back of successful Saturday meetings, Forsman taking the Listed Legacy Lodge Sprint (1200m) at Pukekohe with Force Of Nature (NZ) (Savabeel) while Grylls rode a winning double at Riccarton including the Listed Pegasus Stakes (1000m) aboard Platinum Attack (Santos). Combining in the Central Districts, the pair took the first of their winning treble with Lassified (Stay Inside) in the LA Stud 2YO (1000m). A filly by Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside, Lassified had shown promise at the trials and started favourite in a compact field of juveniles, utilising her inside draw and good gate speed to find the lead in the OTI silks. She travelled well throughout and kicked clear on straightening, holding a game Vahvay at bay in the closing stages to score by a long neck, more than three lengths clear of the third placegetter Tifosi. “She’s a game little filly, we really like her,” Forsman’s Racing Manager Joe Walker said. “She’s a real professional. “She jumped, used the rail and looked the winner then just wanted to do things wrong. I think she’s tough, she’s got a good attitude for it and plenty of upside. “We’ll get her home and reassess things now, but we’re very happy to kick off with that.” Their winning roll continued into the Lamb Peters Print MDN (1000m) with Nedelin (NZ) (Spirit Of Boom), a Cambridge Stud homebred having his second start after finishing fifth in a strong maiden at Te Aroha won by Avantaggia. Grylls found a good position off the fence in midfield but had to come wide turning for home, giving pacemaker Falcrests Belle a decent headstart. Nedelin was inclined to lay in all the way up the straight but his class prevailed, coming over the top late to pip a fast-closing Alcaraz by a neck, with Falcrests Belle holding on for third. “It’s a big thrill (to win for Cambridge Stud),” Walker said. “He did a lot wrong, but he tracked a decent speed, seemed to relax well and went Craig needed him most in that last furlong he put in. “He does little in his work by himself to be honest, but he saves his best for trials and races. He’s competitive, he wants to be there and wants to do it.” Forsman and Grylls prevailed in another tight finish to the Wrights Cabins and Construction R75 (1600m), with Privy Garden (So You Think) holding on by the barest of margins. The mare was dropping back in distance being taken on and fading over 2100m at Trentham, having finished fourth in the Gr.3 Metric Mile (1600m) in the previous start. She led throughout on Sunday and looked to have it sealed in the straight, before a late rush from Manzor Blue and Diomedes forced a photo finish. The result favoured the daughter of So You Think, earning a fifth win in 21 attempts and bringing her career earnings over $102,000 for the China Horse Club. “That was an interesting last 100, she’d shaken them off and I thought she’d stolen a winning margin, but then just wanted to knock off the job,” Walker said. “She’s better with a bit of sting out of the ground, she’s an autumn horse and we thought coming here today and dropping back to a mile, she’d be a very nice chance.” View the full article
