Mark Newnham looks to have another smart one on his hands after Lucky Ranger made it second-time lucky with a dominant success in the first section of the Class Four On Ting Handicap (1,400m). The Vanbrugh galloper ran a big race on debut from a wide draw but with the benefit of the run under his belt, he was able to defy stall 14 on this occasion under an ice-cool Luke Ferraris. Able to settle midfield with cover from the widest stall, the pair ambled into contention and when let down in the...View the full article -

Andrea Atzeni helped Flow Water Flow boost his faint hope of making the Hong Kong Derby (2,000m) with a last-gasp victory to clinch a treble for the Sardinian jockey at Sha Tin on Sunday. Adding to a memorable week after booting home a double at Happy Valley on Wednesday night, Atzeni won both sections of the Class Four Lung Yat Handicap (1,200m) on dirt on King Dance and Good Chap before striking in the Class Three Yau Oi Handicap (1,800m) on Flow Water Flow. Desperately needing to boost his...View the full article -

Numbers led them a merry dance and showed he is the real deal with an authoritative all-the-way performance in the Group Three Centenary Vase (1,800m) at Sha Tin on Sunday. Second in the Group One Queensland Derby (2,400m) on his final start before being imported, Frankie Lor Fu-chuen’s galloper again enhanced his claims on the HK$26 million BMW Hong Kong Derby (2,000m) after being guided to a facile success by Derek Leung Ka-chun. The son of Tivaci ran riot from the front to get off the mark in...View the full article -

It may not have been by design, but Balcairn trainer Centaine Spittles got her hands back on the Gore Cup following In Vegas’ (NZ) (Telperion) win in the KB Contractors & MLT-sponsored 2200m feature at Wingatui on Saturday. The seven-year-old daughter of Telperion won the southern Cup at Gore last year and Spittles didn’t have any intention of her mare defending her crown, however, the race’s transfer to Wingatui following Gore’s abandonment last week opened up a window of opportunity. “We got a little bit lucky with them putting Gore off and transferring the Cup to Dunedin,” Spittles said. “I was never backing her up after Marlborough, we were always going to go to Dunedin (for the Dunedin Cup). That (abandonment) gave us a second chance to have a crack at that Cup.” In Vegas headed into the race in good form, having finished runner-up in the Kumara Gold Nuggets (1810m) and Marlborough Cup (2000m) last month, giving Spittles plenty of confidence heading south. From her outside barrier in the 10-horse field, In Vegas was taken back to settle at the rear of the field before jockey Akshay Balloo asked his charge to improve three-wide from the 800m. In Vegas loomed ominously at the turn and after balancing up she began to wear down the leaders, capturing the lead with 100m to go and dashed away to a 1-1/4 length victory over Generation Joy. “I was pretty confident with her going down and she ran up to what I expected,” Spittles said. “Akshay knows her really well. I thought she was pulling too hard in the running, but he got going right when he needed to.” The Gore Cup is the first leg of the Southern Cups Bonus Series where a $50,000 winner-takes-all bonus is up for grabs. In Vegas’ bid last year was curtailed by injury and Spittles is intent on chasing the cash on offer, with her next target being the Listed Positive Signs + Print Dunedin Gold Cup (2400m) at Wingatui in a fortnight. “We are going to crack onto the Dunedin Cup and then all going well we might as well go for the final and then give her a freshen-up after that,” Spittles said. “Last year we planned on doing the series because she won the Gore Cup, but she got hurt coming home so we will have another go at it this year.” A $500 purchase off gavelhouse.com, In Vegas has proven to be an astute buy for Spittles, with the mare having won seven and placed in 10 starts to date and has earned more than $217,000 in prizemoney. “She has been great,” Spittles said. “She has taken a bit of time and tests your patience at times, but those ones are always worth it.” Spittles was also pleased with the runner-up performance of stablemate Flower Moon (NZ) (All Too Hard) in the Otago Engineering (1400m). A fellow gavelhouse graduate, Flower Moon, a daughter of stakes winner Silver Eclipse, was purchased by Spittles off Pencarrow Stud for $8,000. She has won three races for Spittles and more than $60,000 in prizemoney, and the North Canterbury horsewoman was pleased with her effort on Saturday. “The draw (15) didn’t help her that much, but she just seems to be a better mare when she keeps rolling around them,” Spittles said. “It was a tough run but the winner beat her fair and square. “She is another one that is back in form. She will probably go to Ashburton in two weeks over 1400m and we may step her up to a mile somewhere to see if she can get the distance.” View the full article
