Jason Laking is mentoring our local lads and lasses here, and doing a great job. Rides work regularly and is Johnny-on-the-spot if any problems surface. One young man who has improved in leaps and bounds under his tutelage is Yogesh Atchamah, riding very well indeed currently. -
Quite. As for Glen Boss - a terrific opportunity for these youngsters to avail themselves of the expertise of one of the all-time greats, and super of Glen to do this. However, he was one of the guest speakers at Riccarton on Friday, where an auction of Windsor Park yearlings, along with a luncheon and dialogue from not just Glen, but Israel Dagg and the mercurial Peter Moody was held to aid with fundraising for Rohan Mudhoo, recently diagnosed with cancer. The day was praised by all who attended, with all credit to the CJC for organizing/catering, etc as well as Windsor Park being involved in this very worthy cause. I'm not sure that NZTR had that much to do with the overall initiative although no doubt they would have been very supportive.

But that hasn't gone very well so far has it? Will NZTR be reviewing the advice they have been given, the advice they are giving and who is doing the advising? Perhaps Ellerslie, Te Aroha and Awapuni could be good case studies to start with. -

Trainer Grant Williams has shared some plans for Western Empire, the winner of the Northam Stakes. The talented horse will be targeting a series of Group 3 races: the Belmont Sprint (1400m), Hyperion Stakes (1600m), and Strickland Stakes (2000m) in a planned campaign. Williams has high hopes for Western Empire to earn a spot in the Cox Plate (2040m) this spring in Melbourne. The upcoming 2000m Strickland Stakes will play a role in determining if the horse is ready for such a challenge. Williams holds Western Empire in high regard, considering him one of the best horses he and his co-trainer Alana have ever worked with. The Belmont Sprint will kick off Perth’s winter weight-for-age series on May 18, followed by the Hyperion Stakes on June 1 and the Strickland Stakes on June 15. The anticipated Cox Plate is scheduled to take place at Moonee Valley on October 26. Apart from Western Empire, Williams mentioned that Keshi Boom, Alsephina, and Casino Seventeen are also being considered for these competitions. Keshi Boom has maintained a 100% record in four career starts with wins in the Champion Fillies Stakes and Burgess Queen Stakes. Alsephina finished second to Bustler in the 2022 Railway Stakes, while Casino Seventeen holds the title as the reigning Perth Cup champion. As Western Empire begins this chapter, Williams and his team will carefully monitor his progress to ensure his fitness and well-being are priorities. With their eyes set on the Cox Plate, the leading Australian bookmakers are currently offering $13 for Western Empire to become a two-time Group 1 champion on October 26.
