Darwin apprentice Emma Lines and the Carrol Hunter-trained Desert Lass, pictured after winning in the Red Centre in early May, teamed up once again in Alice Springs on Saturday to win the Pioneer Park Anniversary Cup (1400m). Picture: Nikki Westover Photography Carrol Hunter’s Desert Lass maintained her amazing 1400m record at Alice Springs with success in the $25,000 Pioneer Park Anniversary Cup (BM76) on Saturday. Second last year, the seven-year-old mare powered home over the concluding 200m to nail Terry Gillett’s That’s Justified (Stan Tsaikos) by half a length. That made it six wins from 15 starts for Desert Lass, the $3 favourite with online bookmakers, over 1400m, which also includes six seconds and a third. Rock Hero’s daughter, second in the 2023 and 2024 Alice Springs Cup (2000m), has had 43 starts in the Red Centre for 10 wins, 14 seconds and six thirds. Hunter was looking to retire the mare following the Darwin Cup Carnival, but those plans could change. “She does love the 1400m at Pioneer Park, and the Cummins Cup on Truckies Day is held in late August, so I don’t think I can say that it was her last Alice Springs run today,” she said. Desert Lass, the 2023 Cummins Cup winner, heads back to Fannie Bay where she finished sixth in last year’s Darwin Cup (2050m). With in-form apprentice Emma Lines the pilot on Saturday, Desert Lass (59.5kg) had a 2kg edge over That’s Justified ($5), who looked to have pinched the race when three lengths clear at the home turn. Paul Gardner’s Perkova ($21) produced a solid effort for third. Gardner (23) is 3.5 wins clear in the Alice Springs and Provincial trainers’ premiership after a winning double. The handy Red Wraith (Sonja Logan) was a class above over 1000m (0-70) and Lamoree (Lines) saluted over 1000m (0-58) after five seconds in 10 Alice starts. Red Wraith ($1.75 fav), sixth in the Pioneer Sprint (1200m) in April, was in no danger of defeat before beating the fast-finishing Cubic Zirconia ($14) and Boy Big ($15) home by a length. Lamoree ($4.80), who disappointed at Tennant Creek in May, stormed home to pip Family Ties ($7.50), who skipped away at the 600m, for the narrowest of wins with Freedom Day ($12) third. Tsaikos, who rode Family Ties, showed his ability to control the tempo when allowed to lead when Gillett’s Altar Boy ($2.90) crushed Hey Bull ($8) and Filthy Rich ($21) by 6.6 lengths over 1400m (BM54). Paul Denton (21) is 5.5 wins clear in the jockeys’ premiership after Kerry Petrick’s Prancingintherain ($10) made it two wins from as many NT starts after leading early before toppling Another Val ($15) and Dummy Spit ($2.35 fav) by 1.3 lengths over 1100m (Class 2). Il Don Cavallo ($3.90), ridden by Logan, sat off the pace over 1100m (Class 2) before sprouting wings to make it two wins from eight starts for Lisa Whittle after rolling Only The Best ($3.20 fav) and Eastside Diamond ($9.50) by 3.5 lengths. Leading Darwin rider Jarrod Todd knew what he was doing when he guided Faberge Tzar ($2.20 fav) home by 2.5 lengths for Sale trainer Andrew Perdon over 1400m (BM54) from Valley Prince ($5.50) and Mi Mijo ($11) after he made his move at the 600m despite sharing the lead and sitting three deep.

What Goulburn Races Where Goulburn Race Club – Racecourse Dr, Goulburn NSW 2580 When Monday, June 3, 2024 First Race 12:05pm AEST Visit Dabble The new week of racing is set to get underway at Goulburn Race Club on Monday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program lined up for punters. The rail is out +4m the entire circuit, and with scattered showers forecast across the weekend, the current Soft 7 rating at the time of acceptances should hold for race-day. The first race is scheduled to jump at 12:05pm local time. Best Bet at Goulburn: Don’t Doubt Merlin Don’t Doubt Merlin makes his debut on the back of two impressive barrier trials. The son of Press Statement worked through the wire comfortably on both occasions, with his first piece of work resulting in a soft win at Canterbury on April 19. He’ll look to track across and lead from stall eight in this maiden contest, and provided Jay Ford can get there with relative ease, Don’t Doubt Merlin will take a power of beating. Best Bet Race 3 – #1 Don’t Doubt Merlin (8) 3yo Gelding | T: David Pfieffer | J: Jay Ford (59kg) -111.11 with PlayUp Next Best at Goulburn: Miss Thatcher Miss Thatcher returns after a 268-day spell and brings an element of quality to this Class 2 contest. The daughter of Churchill has been competitive in Highway company in the past, with the four-year-old managing several mid-field finishes in town. Coming back to country grade looks ideal, and although the 1000m may be short of her best trip, Miss Thatcher has the class to dispatch this lot regardless of the shorter journey. Best Bet Race 6 – #5 Miss Thatcher (4) 4yo Mare | T: Lucy Longmire | J: Olivia Dalton (a3kg) (57.5kg) +300 with Neds Best Value: The Bullet The Bullet is an intriguing debutant in the opening event and appears ready to strike first-up for the Richard & Will Freedman camp. The colt by Written By has been deceivingly impressive at the trials, with his most recent 7.2-length defeat at Rosehill on May 17 appearing much worse on paper than it was to the eye. He cruised through the wire under his own steam, and with this maiden contest lacking depth, The Bullet may be forward enough to make an immediate impact. Best Bet Race 1 – #7 The Bullet (7) 2yo Colt | T: Richard & Will Freedman | J: Keagan Latham (56.5kg) +550 with PlayUp Goulburn Monday quaddie tips – June 3, 2024 Goulburn quadrella selections Monday, June 3, 2024 2-7-9 2-5-7 2-4 1-2-5-6-10 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -

By Mike Love Premiership leading trainers Robert and Jenna Dunn have a lot of reasons to be confident going into both two-year-old features at Ashburton today. The Sapling Stakes at Group 2 level and the Helen Pope Fillies Classic at Group 3 will highlight today’s card. Race 6, the time-honoured Group 2 $60,000 Rakaia Seed Cleaning Sapling Stakes over 1700m will see the Dunns line up three of the six starters. Group 1 Welcome Stakes winner Got The Chocolates is undoubtedly the horse to beat, with the TAB opening him at $1.25 with usual reinsman John Dunn aboard. “He has trained on nicely since his last win, and has been holding his condition. He’s got high gate speed and will be prominent early on,” says co-trainer Robert Dunn. “He will be hard to beat.” Dunn’s other two runners in the field Bruntwood Brigade and Malakai are also strong chances with luck. Bruntwood Brigade, driven by Bob Butt, has come on in leaps and bounds since his maiden victory at Addington last week. “He really improved on his first couple of runs and he’s really improved nicely on those. We are really happy with him.” While Malakai with Tim Williams on board will need to work at some stage from his wide draw, Dunn is excited about the Captain Crunch juvenile looking into the future. “He’s done really well. It was an excellent run last time. He’s a good stayer in the making. He’s going to be an excellent horse in the making. We think he’ll be an even better three-year-old.” Race 7, the Helen Pope Fillies Classic at Group 3 level for a stake of $40,000 will see Dunn line up two runners, with the scratching of opening favourite Queen Tyron due to a lung infection. Gone Surfin and driver Tim Williams now move into barrier one with that scratching. “She will get a good run. We were thrilled with her last run. The time she went was pretty good. We are really happy with her. It should be a great race.” While Tyron’s Connoisseur is slammed with another wide draw junior driver Korbyn Newman will likely be looking for one run at them. “Another wide draw to deal with. She’ll go back and run home. She’s done a great job this time in.” “They’ll all be going for a break after … and we are really looking forward to getting them back in the spring.” The Dunn team also line up eight other runners on the card including Harrison John, Miki’s Courage, Hadron Collider and Neverseentherain in race 8, the Rural Business Accountants Champion Stakes which carries a healthy purse of $30,000. Racing commences at 11:35am. View the full article -
