Wonder if TAB popped into Eden Park, not too many there but Auckland have reached a new low in provincial Rugby, joining Harbour and Counties trailing the field, now you see he don't see things as others see things on many things, so laugh if he must but I'm in a very large silent majority who think the same way, I'm still trying to find people around where I am with 6 fingers, maybe he's got his wires crossed. Interestingly a good interview of Peter Williams on the platform the other day of his move to Central Otago, all those years to eventually see the light but we will concede he didn't go to Auckland because he liked the place, he went as his job was there. -

What Goulburn Cup Day 2025 Where Goulburn Race Club – Racecourse Dr, Goulburn NSW 2580 When Sunday, August 24, 2025 First Race 12:20pm AEST Visit Dabble The $200,000 Goulburn Cup (1400m) headlines the competitive eight-race meeting at the Goulburn Race Club on Sunday afternoon. Following a stack of rain, the track has come up a Heavy 10 for the club’s marquee raceday, whilst the rail will be in its true position the entire circuit. The opening event is set to jump at 12:20pm AEST. Goulburn Cup Tip: Wootton Verni Wootton Verni looks the right replacement. He’s a lightly raced Waller import with Group form in France and a strong wet profile (Heavy: 1:1-0-0), and he’s been tuned with a sharp Randwick trial on Heavy 9 this month before a tick-over synthetic hit-out. From barrier four, Kerrin McEvoy can park just off the speed and blend into the three-wide line if the inside chops up on the Heavy 10. With 58kg under handicap conditions, his class and late strength at 1400m should carry him a long way. Goulburn Cup Race 7 – #7 Wootton Verni (4) 5yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Kerrin McEvoy (58kg) Best Bet at Goulburn: Above The Law Loved the way Above The Law attacked the line on debut when runner-up on a Heavy 10 at Kembla Grange, and the Waterhouse & Bott polish usually sees them bounce second-up. He draws to stalk the speed and Adam Hyeronimus can slide off heels and build momentum from the 500m on the bend. With race fitness, a proven handle on heavy ground, and a set-up to control his own luck, this Super Maiden looks an ideal kill before he heads to town. Best Bet Race 6 – #3 Above The Law (9) 3yo Gelding | T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | J: Adam Hyeronimus (58kg) Next Best at Goulburn: Dubai Centre The old boy Dubai Centre is flying, and his wet-track stats are elite. Topweight is never ideal, but Dubai Centre offsets that with a bulletproof pattern: rolls handy, sustains a strong gallop, and keeps lifting when others paddle. The 1600m is his sweet spot, and he draws to be in the first four without burning petrol. If the fence is still okay by the last, he’ll be there a long way; if they’re edging wider, he can slide off and stay balanced. On a day where wet feet win races, his profile is tailor-made. Next Best Race 8 – #1 Dubai Centre (6) 8yo Gelding | T: John Rolfe | J: John Kissick (63.5kg) Sunday quaddie tips for Goulburn Goulburn quadrella selections August 24, 2025 3-4-7-8 3-8-11 3-5-7 1-3-4 Horse racing tips View the full article -

Via Sistina holds out Aeliana to claim the Group 1 Winx Stakes. (Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au) Via Sistina returned from a four-month break and handled a sodden Randwick to retain her crown in the Group 1 Winx Stakes (1400m), fending off a fierce late surge from stablemate Aeliana. First-up since her Queen Elizabeth Stakes triumph in April, the champion mare settled within striking distance, quickened when James McDonald asked, and then had to lift again when the Australian Derby winner dove along the inside. The margin was a neck, with Sydney Cup winner Arapaho closing for third and Ceolwulf rattling home into fourth on the Heavy 10 surface. The win arrived on testing ground that had trainer Chris Waller publicly uneasy on race morning. He stressed he was willing to run but wanted certainty that his stars would come through the day and into the spring intact. Afterwards he likened the heart-in-mouth stretch to the “Foxplay moment” from Winx’s 2017 Warwick Stakes, when a stablemate nearly caused an upset before the champion surged again. McDonald’s ride was all tempo and timing. He nursed the mare into the race, angled clear before the 200m, and kept her balanced as the inside run presented for Aeliana. Post-race, he praised the four-year-old runner-up’s effort while noting that Via Sistina tends to improve deeper into a campaign — a tantalising thought given how sharp she was fresh on bottomless ground. Horse racing bookmakers reacted instantly, trimming Via Sistina’s Cox Plate quote from around $2.30 to even money on the back of the win. The performance also pushed the mare’s Group 1 tally into double figures — a 10th top-level success — and added another piece of history: no mare her age has won a Group 1 in Australia since Tranquil Star some eight decades ago. For connections, the bigger picture remains the same as last spring: keep her happy, pick the right targets, and keep Melbourne in view. Waller signalled a familiar path towards the Cox Plate while keeping options open for Aeliana, whose first-up run suggested she’ll have her own day in the sun. Context matters with champions, and this was more than a seasonal pipe-opener. Via Sistina won this race last year, hit a snag on heavy ground in the Makybe Diva, and then reeled off a three-race streak capped by the Cox Plate. To return from April, dive straight into a Randwick bog, and still out-duel a rising stablemate underlines why she sits atop the pecking order. If she progresses as McDonald expects, the spring narrative again runs through her. 2025 Group 1 Winx Stakes Replay – Via Sistina https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Randwick-2025-Group-1-Winx-Stakes-23082025-Via-Sistina-Chris-Waller-James-McDonald.mp4 Horse racing news View the full article -

Wuddzz powers through the heavy track for a commanding win at Randwick. (Photo: bradleyphotos.com.au) Handy stayer Wuddzz came with a well-timed run under Tim Clark to land success at Randwick on Saturday afternoon. The eight-year-old son of Complacent relished the heavy conditions as he came from well beyond midfield to defeat Cormac T and Bluestone. The victory continued a stellar 24 hours for Ballarat trainer Henry Dwyer, who saddled Asfoora to win the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes (1000m) at York on Friday. “He conserved all of his energy in the first half of the race,” Clark said. “He went to sleep and relaxed beautifully. “He liked the ground, and I was able to edge out down the side and get on the back of the horses that were going take me into the race. “When the gap appeared he really built into it nicely and he was full of running through the line, so it was a good win.” Horse racing news View the full article
