your back forbury. where you been? gotta go miki.I think its just going around to get a bit of place money at the moment. Thats what i think when i watch the way he drives it each time.Or maybe its unintentional that he gets himself into bad positions. But maybe next time, as its driver looked like he didn't realise he had pushed c hackett 3 wide,which of course hes not allowed to do. So he may get a suspension which could mean the horse will be driven by someone else,who most likely will try a bit harder.. so get on if that happens. -
Aquila neita balle zero talent GTD leader gallops Logan Hollis Gotta go Micki just pure hopeless gallops given zero chance like most of his drives crystal hackett a monkey could drive winners on the horses she drives did not know what to do on delightful chic and that's the 3 favourites for the race a very over rated driver indeed always be a angel if you knew it would lead was a very good bet at 14/1 David Butcher should of retired years ago he's the meaning of a has been -

Mostly For Show (NZ) (Vadamos) will fly the flag for Richard and Chantelle Jolly in Saturday’s Gr.3 South Australian Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) at Morphettville, in what will be the son of Vadamos’ final run before a spell. Twice placed from four starts this campaign, the two-year-old colt has consistently been competitive without getting his nose in front, convincing his trainers to give him one more go this time in. A mix of locals and Victorian raiders have accepted for the A$150,000 contest and though Mostly For Show is among the maidens in the field, he is a $9.50 chance. The Jollys’ galloper has drawn ideally in barrier two, with Jake Toeroek booked to ride. “He’s been running well without winning, a couple of races he hasn’t had a lot of luck in,” Richard Jolly said. “He ran quite well in the Oaklands Plate three weeks ago. We were tempted to spell him, but we decided to give him one more go, he pulled up well after that. “He’s drawn a nice gate on Saturday, so hopefully he can probably race a touch closer in what’s probably a similar field to the one he ran in last time.” By Vadamos out of the Savabeel mare Showing Off, Richard Jolly purchased the colt at Karaka last year for $65,000 from the Book 2 draft of Highline Thoroughbreds.

As Stephen Gray’s first season back on home soil nears a close, the Palmerston North trainer was rapt to add three more wins to the stable’s tally on the Awapuni Synthetic on Thursday. Formerly training in Singapore, Gray joined his father, Kevin Gray, in partnership this term and the pair have swiftly gained momentum, collecting 21 victories prior to the all-weather meeting. Their first representative, the striking Cosentino (NZ) (El Roca), was backed into $2.10 favouritism in a competitive Tomo’s Aluminium Services 1000 after trading blows with Platinum Designs (NZ) (U S Navy Flag) in their last two encounters. In the hands of in-form hoop Bruno Queiroz, Cosentino pressed forward from an inside draw, before briefly taking a sit turning for home. Finding the run on the rail, Cosentino burst through and put a margin on his rivals, cruising to the line by 3 – ½ lengths to Ka Ying Lucky (Zoustar) and Platinum Designs. Drawing on his experience with the synthetic surface in Singapore, Gray has found the perfect formula for the impressive son of El Roca. “He just keeps improving, he’s a very quick horse and has always shown speed,” he said. “From my experience in Singapore with poly racing, if they have that speed and get to like it, they appreciate the short straights. He’s a horse like that, and I’m sure he’ll be the same once he gets on the grass. “I’m not an advocate of running horses on the heavy tracks at this time of the year, so while the poly racing is here, we may as well take advantage of it.” Gray is considering both of the sprint-distance Polytrack Championship races in a fortnight, but is leaning towards his local meeting on the 3rd of August, where the feature is run over 1400m. “We may be able to into one of those $100,000 races now, there is a 1400m race which is close to home, being only 10 minutes into town,” he said. “There is the risk of the 1400, but the owners are good people, and I think they’ll be happy to run here. “If we’re not happy, we could always nominate for the 1200 and send him down to Christchurch, but he’s only a young horse so we’d prefer to run the risk and stay up here, then he can have a break before the spring.” The stable doubled up immediately in the following event, but not with the horse that punters may have anticipated. After winning on debut last start, Exaggeration (NZ) (Embellish) closed at a similar quote to Cosentino in the Central ITM 1400, but it was his stablemate, Tears Of Victory (NZ) (U S Navy Flag), who dictated terms throughout and had enough to hold on, defeating a game Exaggeration by a neck. “It was a lovely ride by Toni (Davies, jockey of Tears Of Victory), Dad’s horse (Exaggeration) probably could’ve won too but this mare did a good job and she’s racing well,” Gray said. “Exaggeration is a lovely horse, he just got held up a bit behind, but that’s a good result, because he’ll learn a lot and we’ve got a big opinion of him. “He’ll be a very good horse on the grass tracks.” The daughter of U S Navy Flag had also been a winner at her most recent start, having joined the stable after winning two races in the care of Stephen Autridge. “She came in great order from Stephen, he’s a good mate of mine and it’s a bit easier down here for her,” Gray said. “It was the idea to get a portfolio up with a few more wins before she goes to stud, so it’s working well. “It was a good result for Tim Harrison (owner), who is a great breeder and a good contributor to racing. “She could go to the $100,000 race as well.” In the last, Our Akashinga (Exceedance) was also a well-backed favourite and she delivered on that in spades, powering away from her rivals to score by 3 – ½ lengths. “She is a very good filly, she’ll go right through the grades,” Gray said. “She’s going to be a nice four-year-old Cups mare eventually, I’ve got a lot of time for her. “She’s Australian-owned and they’ll have a lot of fun with her in the spring, she’s a beautiful horse.” Gray set a target of around the 20-win mark for the season, and Thursday’s treble brought the stable’s tally up to 24. “I’m really happy with the season, my plan was to train 20-odd winners this year with what we started off with, so it’s going really well,” he said. “I’ve got good staff, Dad’s support around us with the property, and we’ve got some lovely horses to come in for the spring. “I’m more than happy and excited for what’s to come, it’s been really enjoyable.” View the full article -

Jockey Jake Noonan will be looking to repay the faith of the Patrick and Michelle Payne stable when he partners Bold Soul (NZ) (Embellish) at Flemington. Noonan rides the stayer in the Deane Lester Flemington Cup 1849 (2800m) on Saturday and is looking to strike winning form again on the rising five-year-old. Bold Soul and Noonan completed a Stakes race treble, winning twice as a three-year-old in Tasmania and once in South Australia with the jockey having ridden the stayer only twice since those three-year-old days. The most recent was when Bold Soul finished a last start second to Goldenstatewarrior over 2600m at Flemington on July 5. Noonan replaced the then suspended Tom Prebble who had scored on the gelding over 2530m at Flemington on June 21. “Paddy asked if I wanted to go down to Tassie to ride him (as a three-year-old), and that’s how it originated,” Noonan said. “Credit to Tom Prebble. He’s done a terrific job on him this preparation and I was lucky enough to get back on him last start. “We just got run down. He went up three kilos the other day and the winner stayed on 54 kilos, and if we had met on level weights, he would have gone close to winning. The first half of Saturday’s race will be the key to Bold Soul’s chances of running out the trip. Noonan said Bold Soul can be keen early, but the Payne brother-and-sister training operation have Bold Soul racing in excellent form at present. “He can be a bit bold and keen into the bridle and if you’re doing that over 2800 (metres), it can be detrimental in the second half of the race,” Noonan said. “He’s had some good racing this time in, and it’s seasoned him and he’s probably getting better with the racing that he’s had.” View the full article
