Leonard Stewart has made his presence felt on Waimate Cup Day in recent years, and the highly respected Timaru horseman is looking forward to another edition of the feature winter meeting at Phar Lap Raceway on Sunday. Stewart saddled Take The Deel to win the Dunstan Horsefeeds Waimate Cup in 2021 and Vague to repeat that result in 2022. The race was run over 2200m in both of those years but has subsequently changed to 1600m. Stewart had three runners in the 2023 edition, which was won by Zelenski. In a blow to the South Canterbury region, last year’s Waimate Cup meeting was abandoned after only two races. “I’m looking forward to Sunday, hopefully it will be a really good day’s racing after we missed out on the meeting last year,” Stewart said. “Waimate is a good club and I’m pleased that they’re holding their licence. “But the track conditions might be a factor this weekend. We’ve had a huge amount of rain, especially overnight on Wednesday when it rained all through the night. A few of the races might come down to a bit of luck and who handles the conditions the best.” Stewart, who turns 93 this month, is back with another multi-pronged contingent for the Waimate Cup. The 2022 winner Vague could shoot for a second win in the $30,000 feature, while Sympathique – a nine-race winner including two of her last four starts – has lightweight claims with only 50kg on her back. “Vague managed to win the race a few years ago and might be a chance again this year, although I’m a bit worried about the track conditions,” Stewart said. “She’s a very nice-actioned galloper who doesn’t really handle the very deep tracks. But she is going into this weekend in good order. “Sympathique is one of those battlers who doesn’t mind wet ground. She’s racing well and has the ability to run along. She’s a runner’s chance.” Stewart has a total of 10 horses entered for his home track on Sunday and is keen on Koyama’s prospects in the Waimate RC Life Members Rating 65 (1600m). The four-year-old has won three races and hinted at a return to his best form with a creditable last-start second at Wingatui. All of his three wins have come on heavy tracks, and apprentice jockey Teddy Ladouceur’s 4kg claim will reduce his impost to 56kg. “I do like Koyama,” Stewart said. “He’s not a very big horse, but he’s drawn well in gate four and should get a nice suck along from there. Teddy, Bruce Tapper’s apprentice, is riding well and seems to get on nicely with the horse. I think he’s quite well placed in that race.” Stewart’s other well-credentialled entries for Sunday include Destiny’s Purpose, who looks close to a maiden win in the GM Accounting & Consulting Maiden (1200m) after finishing strongly for a close third at Ashburton last time out.

With Victoria in desperate need of rain, trainer Michael Kent is hopeful of getting through the early part of the Flemington meeting with not too much falling. Kent has Samuel Langhorne (NZ) (Shocking) engaged in the opening race at Flemington on Saturday, the TAB We’re On (2520m) and the trainer does not want the track to be too rain-affected. On Friday the track was rated a Soft 6 with showers developing, while on Saturday the Bureau Of Meteorology is forecasting a 95% chance of between 3 and 9mm of rain. “He’s not a wet tracker, so I’ll be keeping an eye on that, but being the first race, he’s a bit of a chance, but a lot of rain wouldn’t be good for him,” Kent said. Samuel Langhorne struck a purple patch of staying form last year that saw him strike wins at Sandown, Bendigo and Flemington before running sixth to The Map in last year’s Melbourne Cup qualifier, the Listed Andrew Ramsden (2800m). The stayer started his summer program in good fashion, running second at Ballarat, before he produced three disappointing efforts. “He had a good campaign last year and he started well for a summer campaign but then ran poorly at Sandown a couple of times,” Kent said. “I don’t think he handled the hill as he’s a big, long-striding horse, so I thought I would wait for Flemington as there’s a series of staying races, providing the tracks don’t get too wet. “But I’ve been struggling to find the right races for him. “I had him in at Moonee Valley one day and the track fell apart, so I late scratched him, and then I ran him at Flemington last time on not suitable ground, but he ran OK. “The extra trip suits him, so hopefully the ground is not too bad.” Blaike McDougall, who rode Samuel Langhorne to victories at Bendigo and Flemington, reunites with the stayer for the first time since they were paired for success on Anzac Day last year.
