    • They threw a fair amount of revenue at the new Auckland track, and that certainly has had its issues, my point being most upgraded tracks were better before they were fiddled with, maybe there's just not the knowledge out there, and how to go about it.
    • Brett Crawford, one of South Africa’s top trainers with a career spanning over two decades, is embarking on a new and exciting chapter in Hong Kong. With an impressive record of 38 Group One wins and nearly 1500 career victories, Crawford has established himself as a prominent figure in South African racing. His transition to Hong Kong’s competitive training scene has been hailed as “the opportunity of a lifetime,” a sentiment echoed by both local and international observers. At 53, Crawford has experienced an eventful career, beginning as a young rider and later training under renowned mentors such as Mike de Kock and Dennis Drier. His own training career took off in 2001, and his most successful season came in 2017/18, with six Group One victories, cementing his reputation. Crawford, reflecting on his journey, noted, “To be given the chance to work in Hong Kong is the opportunity of a lifetime, and I’ll be doing everything I can to make the most of it.” In Hong Kong, Crawford is entering a high-stakes environment, where his skills will be tested in one of the world’s most competitive racing jurisdictions. “I’ve always wanted to come to Hong Kong, and when the opportunity presented itself, I knew I had to take it,” Crawford said. “It’s a fantastic racing environment, and I’m excited to get started.” Crawford’s achievements in South Africa have been marked by his steady climb up the trainers’ premiership rankings, and his work alongside his son, James, in the 2023/24 season demonstrated his dedication and family-driven commitment to racing excellence. “Having James by my side as we look toward the future makes the journey even more rewarding,” Crawford said.

    • New Zealand Cup winner Mehzebeen is set to make her Australian debut in a Benchmark race at Caulfield on Saturday on a path towards a staying feature in South Australia next month. Trained by Mark Walker, Mehzebeen is scheduled to take her place in Saturday’s Benchmark 100 race over 2000m, which will be her first start since winning the Group 3 New Zealand Cup over 3200m at Riccarton in mid-November. The mare also won a 2600-metre Listed race at Riccarton a week before her New Zealand Cup success. “She has come over for the Adelaide Cup,” Walker said. Walker said the mare’s best form is over further than the 2000m of Saturday’s event. “But she had a couple of jumpouts, there’s a nice Listed race at Moonee Valley in two weeks over 2500 metres and then she runs in the Adelaide Cup,” he said. Mehzebeen will jump from the inside barrier in Saturday’s race with star jockey Blake Shinn to ride. Shinn has formed a good association with the Te Akau Racing stable in recent times, including winning the Karaka Millions 3YO on Damask Rose for the trans-Tasman operation last month at Ellerslie. “Blake Shinn is on her so that is a big bonus,” Walker said. “Whatever she does, she will be better once she gets up in trip to those other distances, but she should be thereabouts at the finish anyway.” The New Zealand Cup win took five-year-old Mehzebeen’s record to five wins from 19 career starts and Walker is hopeful the stayer can measure up in an Adelaide Cup. “It’s quite a genuine two-mile race at Riccarton and she won it pretty well,” he said. “Obviously they’ll be a better class of horse, but she just keeps stepping up most campaigns, so she should be a chance.” The G2 Adelaide Cup (3200m) is on March 10 at Morphettville, with the Listed Torney Night Cup (2500m) at Moonee Valley on February 21.
