They have one meeting a year at Tauherenikau (last week of March) and manage the Opaki training centre. I think the Club still owns the Opaki course. So Masterton DO HAVE their own racecourse but it is used as a training centre with 40+ horses being trained. They have run at a loss for the last two years. I also see there are mistakes in their annual report. Their meeting was abandoned in 2021 after race 1 yet the report still refers to it i.e. cut and paste should have been search and replace. Not sure if they raced in 2022! UPDATE: they didn't race in 2022 because the meeting was cancelled due to the track conditions. Report attached. 2024_Performance_Report_MASTERTON_RACING_CLUB_INCORPORATED.pdf -

By Michael Guerin Star pacer Don’t Stop Dreaming has changed stables just two weeks out from the $1million Race by Betcha at Cambridge on Friday, April 4. The last-start Menangle winner has left trainers Mark and Nathan Purdon and joined Hayden and Amanda Cullen and will debut for them in Friday’s $60,000 Auckland Co-Op Taxis City of Auckland Free-For-All at Alexandra Park. Don’t Stop Dreaming faces a second line draw for the Cullens starting alongside stablemate We Walk By Faith in the 2200m mobile which is stacked with the majority of New Zealand’s best pacers. Sooner The Bettor returns from a luckless Miracle Mile sixth and also starts alongside Mo’unga on the second line while Republican Party again faces the outside of the front line draw. While not being drawn on the change of stables for Don’t Stop Dreaming co-trainer Nathan Purdon says he is looking forward to the Free-For-All with Chase A Dream, who gets barrier 1 this Friday. “He really needed last week’s run and while he will be better for this week too we think he can go close,” says Purdon. The night’s two other main features are the Harness Million for the three-year-old pacers and Marketplace will start red hot after drawing inside Rubira in the $200,000 NZB Standardbred final for the Colts and Geldings (7.59pm). “We all know how good Marketplace is but Rubira beat him by going forward last week and I see no reason for us not to do that again,” says Purdon. Add in Got The Chocolates and Greased Lightnin and the race has good numbers and decent depth. The $150,000 fillies pace (7.34pm) is shorn of last Friday’s stunning winner Beside Me as she is ineligible but includes the other impressive filly from last Friday in Stella Rouge, who will start favourite from barrier 5. The Cullens have a strong hand in that Listed race too with Winelight (1) and Arafura (2) over the 2200m mobile. The meeting also hosts two $35,000 Metro Finals for the Trotters and Pacers while Race 4, the RSM Mobile Pace, sees the return of last season’s northern juvenile star Captain Sampson after two recent workouts.

Harness Million night at Alexandra Park on Friday will highlight harness racing action around the country this week. The first of the week’s meetings is at Cambridge tonight, followed by Addington tomorrow. Addington will back up two days later with Friday Night Lights action alongside a bumper card at Auckland. Addington’s feature will be the $30,000 Bob Rochford Seddon Districts Trotters Final while up north the NZB Standardbred Harness Million 3YO Fillies Final (7.34pm) is worth $150,000 and will be followed by the $200,000 Final for the Colts and Geldings featuring rising star Marketplace (7.59pm). There will also be the Auckland Co-op Taxis Group 2 City of Auckland Free For All with the likes of Republican Party and Don’t Stop Dreaming as well as the $35,000 Metro Finals for the Trotters and Pacers. Further south the Central Southland Cup will feature at Winton on Saturday followed by Waimate Cup day on the grass at Oamaru on Sunday. Each way chances for Herlihy-trained runners at Cambridge tonight By Brigette Solomon Auckland based driver Tony Cameron heads to Cambridge today with two runners for his employer Tony Herlihy. “They both have the ability to be right in it tonight provided they get things right” says Cameron. The stable starts the evening off with Lovemeagain in the Corporate Marquee Tables For Night of Champions Handicap Trot, the first of two junior driver races for the evening. “I think she should be right in it, she’s pretty well mannered and we have one of the more experienced junior drivers on her in Crystal Hackett,” says Cameron. The four-year-old mare’s recent performances at Alexandra Park have been solid, finishing within a few lengths of well performed trotters Belle Neige and Lord Popinjay. Additionally, all three of Lovemeagain’s wins have been at this track and over the 2200 metre trip, the most recent on January 24. She starts tonight’s race off a 15 metre handicap. The second of the Herlihy trained runners is Master Savoy, driven tonight by Cameron, who starts in the Join Us For Flying Mile Night On March 28th Mobile Pace over 2200 metres. The three-year-old by Vincent has had just two starts, both at Alexandra Park, for two minor placings. His most recent performance on March 7 saw him run on well to finish in fourth placing just three lengths off the winner after being intractable in the score up losing considerable ground at the start of the race. “He can be a bit tricky but has ability there if he turns up tonight,” says Cameron, “although he’s drawn well (2), I’ll just be playing it by ear as to how he’s driven early since he’s still got a bit to learn.” Cameron also partners the James Stephens trained runner Anna in the Garrards Horse & Hound Mobile Pace. The mare scored her maiden victory here back in January and has had just one start since at Alexandra Park where a gallop around the final bend ruled her out of contention. “She has a few quirks although she did win her maiden here nicely,” says Cameron, “sShe’s starting off the unruly and we’ll be happy enough if she just gets everything right tonight.” Racing action gets underway tonight at 4.39pm.

GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies runner-up MGISP Vodka With a Twist (Thousand Words) is reportedly on track to make her 2025 debut in the GII Fasig-Tipton Santa Anita Oaks after a good drill Monday morning at Santa Anita. Most recently clocked in a five furlong move in :59.80 (4/71), the multiple Grade I-placed filly has been on the sidelines since running third behind GISW Tenma (Nyquist) and SW & GSP Look Forward (Bolt d'Oro) in the GII Starlet Stakes at Los Alamitos Dec. 7. “I was very happy with the drill,” trainer Phil D'Amato said. “It looks like we're on target for the Santa Anita Oaks. She still has two more breezes, but if they go like today's, she'll be there.” D'Amato added that he has been pleased with Vodka With a Twist's mental development, especially since she'd made seven starts as a 2-year-old, a campaign that began at Keeneland last April. She returned from her freshening Jan. 29 and has been working weekly since then. “She's a filly that never really had a break. I think given her that little time off has allowed her to mature mentally,” D'Amato said. “That's the biggest thing she needed to improve on. She's kind of a nervous, high-strung filly, but she seems to be a little more relaxed and settled now.” Trainer Michael McCarthy Says Look Forward 'Possible' For Santa Anita Oaks Speaking of the aforementioned runner, her conditioner confirmed that the filly was a possibility as well for the Santa Anita Oaks following her seventh-place finish in the GIII Honeybee Stakes at Oaklawn Park. With a victory in the Listed Fasig-Tipton Santa Ynez Stakes under her belt, Look Forward already has Kentucky Oaks points to her credit this season, but currently sits outside the bubble with 15. She returned to the work tab Saturday, Mar. 15 and rolled through five panels in :59.60, the second fastest of 18 that morning. “We'll see about the Oaks. I thought her work was very good,” McCarthy said. “She's just a naturally very fast horse.” “She needs to be on or near the lead. When she missed the break at Oaklawn, she got shuffled back probably 10 or 11 lengths off the field. That made all the difference.” The post Vodka With a Twist on Track for Seasonal Bow in Santa Anita Oaks appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
