Progressive four-year-old Cross Tasman (NZ) (Super Seth) recorded his fourth victory at start number seven when landing the TAB Handicap (1500m) at Rosehill for the in-form stable of John O’Shea and Tom Charlton. The son of Super Seth was perfectly positioned one-out and one-back under Dylan Gibbons and put his rivals to the sword when presented at the top of the straight, going on to score by three and a quarter lengths. The winning rider reported the gelding didn’t relish the Heavy 8 conditions but was a class above his opposition. “He never grabbed the bit at all when I would have liked,” Gibbons said. “He was funny, he got into his spot and dipped and dived a bit. When I was having to encourage him through that I thought it might take away from his finish, but he might be pretty good. “I got to the 300m and I thought it was going to be hard work but I had a cheeky look a long way out because I just felt him go into over-drive. “This guy, with his attitude and the way he races, I’m going to say it was an unpreferred surface and the way he blew them away late, I love the way he did it today.” Bred by Waikato Stud, Cross Tasman is by Super Seth out of the versatile triple Group One winner Daffodil (NZ) (No Excuse Needed), whose elite level victories included an Australian Oaks and New Zealand 2000 Guineas. Cross Tasman appears to have inherited a fair degree of versatility as he scored for a loyal band of stable owners while sporting the colours of long-time supporter Ron Finemore’s Finemore Thoroughbreds “Off that win, you wouldn’t rule out 2000m and even beyond,” Gibbons said. “He has just got that perfect temperament, he just switches off and once I got stuck into him, where I thought I was really going to have to get into him, he just clicked into another gear and away he went.” O’Shea went to $260,000 to secure Cross Tasman in partnership with Suman Hedge Bloodstock from the draft of Waikato Stud at the 2023 New Zealand Bloodstock Book 1 Yearling Sale. With the Karaka Sales commencing on Sunday 25th January, Super Seth is well represented with 46 yearlings by the boom young Waikato Stud sire. View the full article -

A sage ride by Michael Dee has aided Supernima (NZ) (Super Seth) to claim a gutsy victory in the Thank You Volunteers Trophy (1400m) at Flemington on Saturday. The Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman-trained son of Super Seth had a declared change of tactics with the intention to settle further back. But Dee summed up the situation perfectly after jumping away well and there being little to no pressure on leader Prancing Spirit (Sir Prancealot), electing to roll forward and sit outside the pacemaker as the contest turned into a sit-and-sprint affair. Sporting the colours of Wylie Dalziel Roy Higgins Racing, the four-year-old gelding dug deep in the straight to defy Ndola (Justify) and Prancing Spirit as he notched his fourth win from 18 starts with a further eight placings. “We had a bit of a theory in place today,” Coleman said. “We thought he was better when he was ridden a little bit colder and we weren’t 100 percent sure on the 1400m. But he’s put pay to both of those questions today and it was a great ride from Mick. “We’d worded him up beforehand that we wanted to try and ride the horse a little bit colder and when it wasn’t going to work out, instead of sitting back there in no man’s land, he took the race into his own hands and elected to roll forward when there wasn’t much pace on. “It was the ride that won the race. “It was a tough gritty win and I’m really pleased for these connections as well. It’s always special to get a win in the Wylie Dalziel colours but this crew especially, they’ve been very patient. “He’s always promised to deliver them a nice Saturday city winner and to get it at Flemington it’s extra special. “He’s very, very honest. He doesn’t know how to run a bad race and if we can just keep placing him to advantage, I think he can keep delivering.” Supernima is by Waikato Stud’s outstanding young sire Super Seth and is out of the Dubai Destination mare Purnima (AUS), making him a half-brother to stakes winners Tomelilla (NZ) (Tavistock) and Viktor Vegas (NZ) (Tavistock). Bred by Bob Emery, Supernima was purchased by Dalziel Bloodstock and Moody Racing for $80,000 from the draft of Woburn Farm at the 2023 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sales.

The Nathan Doyle-trained Aroha Stone (NZ) (El Roca) scored a deserved victory in the Thank You Noel Cuthbert Handicap (1500m) at Rosehill on Saturday. The four-year-old daughter of El Roca was partnered by Regan Bayliss who said the mare relished the Heavy 8 conditions and atoned for a luckless effort at Randwick a fortnight ago. Aroha Stone defeated the favourite Changing Colours (The Autumn Sun) by three-quarters of a length to notch the fourth win of her career from 15 starts with a further five minor placings. “I really liked her today,” Bayliss said. “I had no luck last start but she had a nice soft barrier today and with the rain about she’s at her best. “She has been going really well this preparation and it is good to get another win on the board. “She always felt like the winner and even going to the barriers she just glided over that track. “I had a lovely run in transit and although I did feel Nash (Rawiller) and Changing Colours giving a tough contest there inside the last 150m, to our mare’s credit she dug deep and won well.” The stable had been confident Aroha Stone could return to the winner’s circle at her third run this campaign after winning in good style at Newcastle fresh-up. “She is a very tough mare,” stable representative Grace Willoughby said. “We knew she’d run well today, and it was just a case of putting a line through her last start. She had won third-up before, so we were pretty confident. “She has won on a worse track than this before so that was never going to bother her. “I think this is going to be one of her best preparations. Last time in she just needed to go out, grow a little bit and mature and she has done that this prep.” Aroha Stone was purchased for just $25,000 from the Westbury Stud draft from the Book 2 Sale at the 2023 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sales. She is the second foal of the Makfi mare Luminescent (NZ) who in turn is out of the four-time stakes winner and Group One performer Illuminates (Strategic). View the full article -

Former Kiwi Bella Montagna claimed a deserved metropolitan success when landing the Ranvet Handicap (2400m) at Rosehill on Saturday for trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott. Given a perfect ride by Josh Parr, the four-year-old daughter of Belardo overcame barrier 12 to find the fence midfield and tracked into the race effortlessly on the rain-affected track, going on to score by a length and a half from Forbidden Riff and Bestower. The victory continued the good partnership between stable and rider, with Parr successful on his past three rides for Waterhouse and Bott. “It was a perfect setup for her today,” Parr said. “I was filled with confidence by the stable this morning and 2400m on rain-affected ground, she was licking her lips. “I ended up in a really good spot from a bad barrier and she travelled really well and there were horses that were under pressure a long way from home. It was the perfect scenario for me as I could wait for the gaps to open before I asked for an effort. “It was just a push-button easy ride and it is the third one of the week that Tim Clark has handballed me, so I might owe him a favour or two.” Bella Montagna was the only ride of the day for Parr, whose other carded rides were scratched on the downgraded Heavy 8 surface. Originally prepared by Darryn and Briar Weatherley in New Zealand, Bella Montagna joined the Waterhouse and Bott stable as a maiden but she had finished runner-up in the Gr.2 Sir Patrick Hogan Stakes (2000m) won by Real Class just over 12 months ago. By Belardo out of a So You Think mare, Bella Montagna is a graduate of New Zealand Bloodstock’s Book 2 Yearling Sale where she was presented by Haunui Farm and originally purchased by David Archer’s Archer Equine Investments Ltd for just $25,000. Sold privately after five starts in New Zealand, Bella Montagna sports the colours of Mt Hallowell Stud and has two wins and four placings from 12 starts, with career earnings of A$211,746.
