Due to the structure of Doncaster's Weatherbys Scientific £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes on Thursday, Advertise's Calendar Girl was “chucked in” as they say in Britain and duly scooped the big 6 1/2-furlong pot for her Kennet Valley Syndicate. Carrying 8-3 due to her sire's Sales median, the Owen Burrows-trained 45,000gns Tattersalls October Book 2 purchase who had won at Newbury and been second at Epsom over seven was produced late by Saffie Osborne to overwhelm the Harry's Half Million winner Song Of The Clyde (Sergei Prokofiev) in the closing stages and prevail by half a length. “Dropping back a half-furlong wasn't ideal, but they went quick and her ability got her through,” Burrows said of the winner, whose yearling three-parts brother also goes to the October Book 2 Sale as lot 1090. “She had 8-3 as well and that helped. She's a big girl and she wants a mile, Jim [Crowley] really liked her first time and thought she was a Stakes filly, but she's had a hard race there so we'll see.” The post Calendar Girl Swoops For Valuable Doncaster Prize appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Presenter-driver-trainer Brittany Graham knows a thing or two about racing on both sides of the Tasman and now that the Queenslander is working for Trackside in this country she’s (reluctantly) agreed to write a weekly column. By Brittany Graham As the harness racing scene really starts to heat up, here is what has caught my eye this week. Black Booker War Chief was exceptional on debut in the first heat of the Woodlands Sires Stakes for two-year-old colts and geldings behind Cyclone Rebel and appears to have a very bright future. Drawing gate 12, the big son of Captaintreacherous was spotting the leaders close to 10 lengths with a lap to go before charging home to only be beaten a length. He tracked the eventual winner, before tipping extremely wide on the turn and doing his best work in the last 100 metres. He recorded the quickest closing sectionals of the race and gives all impressions that he will improve from the debut run and a better gate next time. He also lacks for nothing in the breeding department and operates out of the right stable (Purdon and Phelan). Trial Star Treasure Cove was of many eyecatchers at the Rangiora trials on Wednesday as part of a star-studded line up. A two-time winner from 13 career starts to date, the Stonewall trainee has seemingly enjoyed a mid-season break after making a mistake at his last start in the Kotare Downs Rangiora 3YO Stakes back in May. I noticed some gear changes to try and iron out some of his previous tractability issues, and he went to the line under a strong hold in a quick last section. Returning on a kind enough rating of 45, he should find himself in the winner’s circle at short notice if that trial was anything to go by. Australian News Kevin Seymour has confirmed that ‘Operation New Zealand Cup’ is officially underway with his superstar pacer Leap To Fame. While it has been a long-term plan, the enticement to stay home for the revamped Queensland Summer Carnival including the Blacks A Fake and Sunshine Sprint was a topic of contention. The now richest standardbred of all time in the Southern Hemisphere is only a fortnight away from trialing before he targets the Victoria Cup on October 18 at Melton. ‘Larry’ is doubtful to have a preparatory race start on New Zealand soil, instead likely heading to the Cup Trial to get familiar with Addington Raceway. His stablemate Aroda is once again nominated after taking his place in the 2024 edition of the great race, however, would need to improve his current ranking 23. More likely to join his stablemate is star three-year-old Fate Awaits who is being targeted towards The Velocity and New Zealand Derby post his luckless Eureka 9th last Saturday at Menangle. Milestone Watch After his successful steer aboard stable runner The Night Agent in the last at Alexandra Park last Friday night, Scott Phelan now sits on 599 career driving successes. He will partner Im Sandra Dee as his lone drive this weekend when the in-form filly takes on a Nevele R Fillies heat as race 6 in Auckland on Friday night. Despite taking a back seat for regular stable driver Zachary Butcher more often than not these days, Phelan is operating with a very healthy UDR of .254 in the sulky this season. Best of the Weekend Belle Neige is a trotting mare in excellent form, in search of three straight victories at Alexandra Park on Friday night. With an excellent mobile record and plenty of prior gate speed, she should be able to maintain the gate advantage over her main market rival Matty A. View the full article -

What Geelong Races Where Geelong Racecourse – 99 Breakwater Rd, Breakwater VIC 3219 When Friday, September 12, 2025 First Race 1:10pm AEST Visit Dabble Geelong Racecourse is set to host a competitive eight-race meeting this Friday afternoon on a track rated a Soft 5. Showers are forecast for race day, but it shouldn’t see the track downgrade further than the Soft 5 posted at the time of acceptances. The rail will be out 4m from 1700m to 800m and 6m for the remainder, with the first race jumping at 1:10pm AEST. Best Bet at Geelong: Bring Forth Progressive stayer Bring Forth has found his groove and strikes a BM66 (2440m) that sets up beautifully. He’s rock-hard fit, stays all day, and draws to park on speed without working from gate five. The Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) yard rarely misses when they aim one at these provincial staying races, and the 1.5kg claim for Luke Cartwright keeps him nicely in at the weights. Tactically, he can control the race outside the leader, build from the 800m and break them with a sustained run. If the track plays fair, his staying strength should prove the difference late. Best Bet Race 5 – #2 Bring Forth (5) 5yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Luke Cartwright (a1.5) (62kg) Next Best at Geelong: Act Natural Phillip Stokes looks to have found the right maiden for Act Natural. He’s been ultra-consistent with a picket fence of seconds around him, and the race shape here looks perfect: genuine tempo from a few drawn wide should let Daniel Stackhouse slide across from gate nine, land one-off with cover, and produce at the 300m. His ratings are already good enough to win an average provincial maiden, and a Soft 5 shouldn’t blunt his turn of foot. With race fitness on side and a tidy map, Act Natural gets every chance to break through. Next Best Race 2 – #1 Act Natural (9) 4yo Gelding | T: Phillip Stokes | J: Daniel Stackhouse (59.5kg) Best Value at Geelong: Rubology At double-figure odds with horse racing bookmakers, Rubology appeals each-way in the penultimate event. He resumes off a stable switch with a strong fresh record and brings metro-benchmark form lines that read well against this lot. The map looks kind: from barrier 11 Craig Newitt can slide across to sit one-off just behind a hot tempo, then angle into clear air from the 400m. If the inside chops out late, that wider lane suits his style. Best Value Race 7 – #2 Rubology (11) 6yo Gelding | T: Peter Gelagotis | J: Craig Newitt (61kg) Friday quaddie tips for Geelong Geelong quadrella selections Friday, September 12, 2025 5-10-11 1-2 1-2-3-11 4-6-10-14 Horse racing tips View the full article -

Methinks you making this moan up.....just to feel good ! Claude probably a false win favourite and both these horses had outside draws so bound to go back in small field... To win from there they needed a real fast pace. The race started fast , then everyone took a break....an early move not on as corners come up fast and you lose a lot ground out wide on the bends. Check the final bend and both were wide on the track and in a 28 last quarter they ran on very well and closed well at end. Very good runs from both and no boring than the usual horse race . Rough and Ready has won some 20 races so probably not getting any better ,especially from an outside gate ! -

Tom Marquand has been confirmed as the partner of Goodwood Cup hero and ante-post favourite Scandinavia (Justify), who is set to head a field of seven in Saturday's G1 Betfred St Leger. With Ryan Moore on the sidelines and Wayne Lordan suspended, Sean Levey will partner dual Derby hero Lambourn (Australia) and Mickael Barzalona picks up the ride aboard Great Voltigeur fourth Stay True (Galileo). In addition to the Ballydoyle trio, Ireland is represented by Queen's Vase victor and Great Voltigeur runner-up Carmers (Wootton Bassett), who will be partnered by Billy Lee. The home defence consists of the Andrew Balding-trained duo Furthur (Waldgeist) and Tarriance (Frankel), and Roger Varian trainee Rahiebb (Frankel). Across the Irish Sea, Leopardstown plays host to the opening day of Irish Champions Weekend and Christophe Soumillon is on duty aboard Eclipse hero Delacroix (Dubawi) in the eight-runner G1 Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes, while Chris Hayes deputises for the injured Jim Crowley aboard Anmaat (Awtaad). Susumu Fujita's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe entry Shin Emperor (Siyouni) will be piloted by regular jockey Ryusei Sakai in the Foxrock venue's feature event. Earlier on the Leopardstown programme, a mouthwatering clash is in store with 11 fillies declared for the G1 Coolmore America Justify Matron Stakes. Last month's Prix Rothschild first and second Fallen Angel (Too Darn Hot) and January (Kingman) are set to renew rivalry in the one-mile contest with James Doyle aboard the Wathnan Racing contender and Christophe Soumillon on duty for the latter. Coronation Stakes heroine and Nassau Stakes runner-up Cercene (Australia) has been ridden by Gary Carroll in all eight career starts and the Kildare native maintains his association with the Joseph Murphy trainee.
