    • Daqiansweet Junior will lineup in the Roy Higgins Quality. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Daqiansweet Junior is set to make a bid for a third appearance in the prestigious Group 1 Melbourne Cup (3200m), should he emerge victorious in Saturday’s Listed Roy Higgins Quality (2600m) at Flemington. Trained by Phillip Stokes, this progeny of Sweet Orange, a descendant of War Front, showcased his mettle by securing sixth place in the 2022 Melbourne Cup, followed by an admirable fifth-place finish in last year’s edition. His sights are now set on securing a coveted ‘win and you’re in’ slot into this year’s Cup through the Roy Higgins. “He got into the Cup pretty comfortably last year,” said Stokes. “He should be ok again, but if you don’t have to take the chance it makes the programming easier if we’re going that way.” Having had one start since last year’s Cup, finishing fifth in the Australian Cup Prelude on March 9, Stokes reflected positively on his performance. “I thought his first-up run was the best he has put in for a long time. “He bounced, put himself there, and only got beaten a bit under four lengths which is probably a ‘PB’ for him.” With Daqiansweet Junior heading into the Roy Higgins Quality second-up in promising form, Stokes anticipates him peaking third-up for the Group 1 Sydney Cup (3200m), highlighting the progressive trajectory of this seasoned campaigner.

    • Three-time Group 1 winner Think It Over has been retired. (Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) Think It Over, a distinguished three-time Group 1 victor, has officially bid farewell to the racing world. Following an awe-inspiring return from a perilous tendon injury, culminating in a resounding triumph in the Group 1 Verry Elleegant Stakes (1600m) merely weeks ago, Think It Over’s illustrious career has come to a close. Citing the results of thorough veterinary evaluations, connections have made the poignant decision to retire the now eight-year-old gelding. Born from the esteemed lineage of So You Think, Think It Over graced the track 42 times, amassing an impressive tally of 14 victories and 13 placings, with a staggering prize purse nearing $8.5 million. His legacy is immortalised by triumphant performances in prestigious events such as the 2021 Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m), the 2022 Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m), and most notably, this year’s memorable conquest in the Verry Elleegant Stakes.

    • Luke Nolen will make his return at Cranbourne. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) After a hiatus spanning over two months, renowned jockey Luke Nolen is poised to make a comeback to the racing circuit on Friday night at Cranbourne. The esteemed rider, celebrated for his Group 1 triumphs, will grace the track once more as he partners with Linas Reel, trained by the esteemed duo of Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman, in the sixth race of the evening – the inaugural Southside Challenge. Nolen’s return to the saddle marks a significant milestone following his unfortunate trackwork incident at Pakenham in early February. The fall resulted in injuries to his back and pelvis, alongside internal bleeding and a fractured rib. Despite the setbacks, the resilient 43-year-old underwent surgery to address the internal bleeding and demonstrated his determination by returning to action at the Pakenham jump-outs on March 19.

    • Pearl Of Alsace will contest the Group 1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) at Ellerslie on Saturday. Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) Trainers Shaune Ritchie and Colm Murray have always had plenty of time for Pearl Of Alsace and they are hoping she can fulfil her Group One potential at Ellerslie this weekend. Bred and raced by Sir Peter Vela, the daughter of Tavistock has come a long way in just 12 starts, winning her first five outings, including the Group 3 Cuddle Stakes (1600m), and subsequently added a further two victories to her tally. She placed in the Group 1 Livamol Classic (2040m) at Hastings last September, but her connections believe she has an elite-level win in her and are hoping she can do it on Saturday in the Group 1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m). She takes winning form into the race, having taken out the Royal Descent Stakes (1600m) at Trentham earlier this month, and her trainers couldn’t be happier with her ahead of her weekend assignment, “She has only had 12 starts so she is the rookie of the field against the other mares who are pretty experienced,” Ritchie told Trackside NZ. “She is a high-quality mare and is a Group One mare in waiting, and I hope for our sake that it is this weekend. “I don’t think we can get her in better order. She has got a great record second-up and she had a nice, soft kill first-up, so she has bounced away and improved off that.” Horse racing news View the full article
