    • ALL Standardbred horses should go into a race ,Able and driven to Win it.  it's the beauty of them compared to gallopers. none of this need a run or not out to the right distance yet type stuff that goes on with those galloping wonders. Mo'Unga was still 3rd favourite . behind fellow NZ Cup runner Republican Party (4th) and the race winner in Jolimont. One year ago I was tipping Jolimont as a strong NZ Cup chance ,(when Mark was driving it and winning) but ultimately he wasn't even good enough , JUST LIKE the rest of last Friday nights field , to even Start in the NZ CUP. Mo'unga should be totally Demolishing 'Frisco Bay' , 'Little Spike' and company. But wasn't driven like a NZ Cup running horse at all. Dragged back then trailing Colonel Lincoln (a 50-1 shot) 4 back on the fence. ???? Bloody Nora.😁  Mo was a handy 6th in the NZ Cup then beat Republican Party to win the Group 3 Summer Cup not long after that. He (Mo'Unga) should be driven to Win Against last Fridays weak opposition? , But was driven like a Coward to be honest. Didn't have one skerritt of a crack at it, at any stage. Couldn't even run in the FIRST 4 the way he drove it. A total RIP-OFF of all Punters monies. 💰 At least Marketplace was 'narrowly' beaten, And beaten By 2 horses that are very good , 'Rubira' and ''Choc's' have beaten him (Marketplace)  convincingly in the past. I have no issue lol 🤣   but Big Mo ?. what a shameful thing that was 😜
    • By Adam Hamilton  Dual NZ Cup winner Swayzee banked a $500,000 bonus for connections when he demolished his rivals in last night’s Group 3 Renshaw Cup at Penrith. On the quick back-up after a luckless fourth in the Miracle Mile, Swayzee made it four wins and a close second in the five-race NSW Carnival of Cups when Hart let him show off for the packed crowd and win racing away by 20.6m at Penrith. His blistering 1min54.3sec mile rate for the gruelling 2525m trip took almost a second off Tiger Tara’s track record set in the same race in 2017. “He’s definitely a once-in-a-lifetime horse. The resume he’s got and the ride he’s taken Jase (Grimson, trainer) and the owners has been amazing for our careers,” Hart said. “It was an incredible atmosphere and to have such a great horse here (Penrith), I wanted to open him up and put on a show for the big crowd. “Jase said he was in unreal order since the Miracle Mile and ready to run a great race. “I have to pinch myself every time I drive him, he’s such an amazing animal, nothing like I’ve driven before. “It’s such a great ride when you’re sitting behind him. He’s such a powerhouse and it’s such a privilege to drive him.” Swayzee joined Grimson’s stable in mid-2023 and has raced 29 times for him for 22 wins, four seconds, a third and two fourths. Including last night’s bonus, he has won $2,645,793. The seven-year-old’s major wins have been the past two NZ Cups, last year’s Victoria Cup, this year’s Hunter Cup and the 2023 Blacks A Fake. Owner Mick Boots said Swayzee would have a short let-up before chasing another first in his career, a trip to Perth for the $1.25mil Group 1 Nullarbor at Gloucester Park on April 25. X X X X  Top Aussie trainer Andy Gath’s on-again, off-again trip to New Zealand is back on. While his stable star and eight-time Group 1-winning pacer Catch A Wave isn’t going to the $1mil Race by betcha, Gath will have a runner on the night. Classy mare Im Ready Jet’s winning return at Melton last night (Saturday) was enough to book her a run in the $600,000 TAB Trot at Cambridge on April 4. “Pat (Driscoll, owner) has a slot and has always been keen for the mare to go, but we just needed to get her back racing and see how she was going,” Gath said. “The signs had been encouraging at home, especially in the past couple of weeks, and it was great to see her come back with a win. “We were helped by Queen Elida running below her best, but our mare still did a good job to win. “She’s got the (Group 1) La Coocaracha for mares’ only next Saturday and then there’s a flight to Auckland on March 27. “She’ll just have that one run in NZ because there’s a $100,000 Group 1 race for mares’ (Macarthur Mile) at Menangle in May. “This will be her last campaign before going to stud, so we’ll keep her going as long as her form is good.” Im Ready Jet has raced 77 times for 27 starts, 27 placings and banked $727,775. Queen Elida, who worked around the field early to take the lead, was struggling on the last bend and tired to finish fourth, beaten six metres. She will get the chance to bounce back in next week’s La Coocaracha as she also prepares for the TAB Trot.   View the full article
    • By Jonny Turner  Southern reinswomen showed off their skill when sweeping the harness racing programme at Sunday’s dual-code meeting at Wingatui. Harness racing historians were sent scrambling when women drove the winners of each event on the four-race harness racing card. The accomplishment is not thought to have been completed in New Zealand harness racing previously. Kerryn Tomlinson started the reinswomen’s winning run when driving Don’t Look Kobe to victory in Race 1, the Dunedin City Ford Handicap Trot. To notch just the second career victory of her short career, Georgia Goodman produced a well-judged front-running drive to take out Race 2, the Brett Reid Electrical Mobile Pace, with Itsallaboutthemoney. Fellow junior driver Mia Holbrough found clear air up the rising Wingatui straight for Normie Stead who burst between runners late to win Race 3, the Taieri Excavation Mobile Pace. . Dunedin-born horsewoman Kirstin Green sealed the clean sweep for female drivers on her home patch when Bismarck Du Plessis cleared out to win Race 4, the Icon Interior Construction Mobile Pace.  Most appropriately, the accomplishment came on the final day of Harness Racing New Zealand’s Team Teal campaign. Each reinswoman wore teal-coloured driving pants as a part of the campaign which raises funds for ovarian cancer research. Harness Racing New Zealand, the host club and each driver’s sponsors donate funds to the cause during the campaign. Tomlinson was a Team Teal ambassador and wore team colours throughout the fundraising effort.  View the full article
    • What Hawkesbury Races Where Hawkesbury Race Club – 1 Racecourse Rd, Clarendon NSW 2756 (Link if we have track page) When Tuesday, March 18, 2025 First Race 1:50pm AEDT Visit Dabble Provincial racing returns to Hawkesbury on Tuesday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-part program set for decision. The rail moves out +4m between the 1100m to 450m markers, while the remainder is in the true position throughout. The track is rated a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances; however, with drying conditions on Monday and Tuesday, punters can expect an upgrade into the Good range at some stage. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 1:50pm local time. Best Bet at Hawkesbury: Sosueme Sosueme appears ready to strike as she debuts for the Nathan Doyle barn. The daughter of Capitalist couldn’t have been more impressive in her most recent barrier trial at Hawkesbury on February 24, cruising through the line under her own steam as she hit the line locked together with Nymphadora. Ashley Morgan will go in search of cover from stall six, and provided Sosueme can show a similar turn-of-speed when asked for the ultimate effort, she will prove hard to hold out. Best Bet Race 3 – #5 Sosueme (6) 3yo Filly | T: Nathan Doyle | J: Ashley Morgan (56.5kg) Next Best at Hawkesbury: Manukau Manukau got a pass mark debuting at Rosehill on February 26. The Godolphin filly was last in the small field of six and was unable to make inroads when attempting to sprint off a moderate tempo. She never shirked the task, however, closing off to finish within 4.2 lengths of Kilonova who appears to have plenty of upside. Expect a change of tactics from barrier four as Zac Lloyd tries to find cover in the front half of the field, and with a genuine tempo engaged in this maiden contest, watch for Manukau to be surging over the top in the concluding stages at a good price . Next Best Race 2 – #5 Manukau (4) 3yo Filly | T: James Cummings | J: Zac Lloyd (57kg) Best Value at Hawkesbury: Amplify The Ciaron Maher-trained Amplify looks set to peak third-up into the campaign after being ridden out of her comfort zone at Rosehill on February 26. She jumped too well on that occasion and was forced to sit out the lead before being swamped in the final furlong. She was still in for the fight and showed good tenacity to get within 4.4 lengths of Deal N’ Dash; however, she will be much better ridden with cover stepping out to the 1800m for the first time. She should get every chance to take down Polymnia, and at the each-way price with horse racing bookmakers, she gets the verdict. Best Value Race 4 – #10 Amplify (5) 3yo Filly | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Tommy Berry (55.5kg) Tuesday quaddie tips for Hawkesbury Hawkesbury quadrella selections March 18, 2025 10-13 1-2-7 1-4-6-8 4-8-9-13-15 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
    • Gallant Star photo: Bradley Photos. Gallant Star proved why he was the dominant bookmaker favourite, delivering an emphatic victory in the Coonamble Country Championships Qualifier (1400m) on Sunday for trainer Brett Robb and jockey Jason Collett. The son of Zoustar controlled the race from the outset, showing early speed before settling comfortably on the pace. He surged clear in the straight, putting his rivals away with ease to secure his spot in the $1 million Country Championships Final at Randwick on April 6. Stablemate Rouge Moulin () finished second, giving Robb a stable quinella, while Poison Point () rounded out the trifecta in a strong showing. Coonamble Championships Country Qualifier Race Replay – Gallant Star https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Coonamble-2025-Country-Championships-Qualifier-15032025-Gallant-Star-Brent-Robb-Jason-Collett.mp4 Trainer Brett Robb was relieved to see his star galloper justify the heavy market support with the top online betting sites, admitting there were some nervous moments when his price kept shortening. “When he got into $1.20, I got real nervous, but I knew he was the best horse in the race,” Robb said. “He’s been jumping well in his trials and showing that he wants to race forward, but I didn’t expect him to lead like that.” “I’ve been riding all his work myself this prep, so I was confident he was fit and ready to go. “He’ll have three weeks between runs now, which is perfect for him heading into the final.” Jockey Jason Collett was full of praise for Gallant Star’s professionalism and versatility, noting that he was happy to take luck out of the equation. “He was just a class above them today,” Collett said. “He’s been jumping cleanly in his trials, so I wanted to make sure we stayed out of trouble. He relaxed beautifully and had plenty left when I asked him to go.” “He doesn’t have to lead, but it’s nice to know that he can if needed. He’ll be right in the mix at Randwick.” Gallant Star now firms as one of the leading contenders for the Country Championships Final, where he is currently the $3.20 favourite with .
