GI Man o'War Stakes winner Highland Chief (Ire) has arrived at Arvez Farm in France where the son of Gleneagles (Ire) will stand alongside Honolulu (Ire) and Roman Candle (GB) at a fee of €2,500 for 2025. Last seen finishing fifth in the GIII Singspiel Stakes at Woodbine in October, he retired as the winner of four of his 22 career starts and nearly $800,000 in total prize-money. Jim and Fitri Hay's homebred started his career in Britain with Paul and Oliver Cole, with his biggest success on these shores coming in the 2020 Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot. He later filled the runner-up spot in both the G3 Gordon Stakes at Goodwood and G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York, before being transferred to the care of Graham Motion in America where he made the breakthrough at the top level when winning the 2022 Man o'War at Belmont Park. He also won the GIII Sycamore Stakes at Keeneland later that year. Highland Chief is a first crop son of Gleneagles and one of seven winners from eight runners out of the Hays' G3 Give Thanks Stakes heroine Pink Symphony (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}), a half-sister to the G3 Prestige Stakes, G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes and GIII Modesty Handicap winner Fantasia (GB) (Sadler's Wells). His third dam is the European champion two-year-old filly Blue Duster (Danzig) whose victories included the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes and G3 Queen Mary Stakes.

Alan pyers ,It's a small world Galah as he was in Queensland for a bit going way back , the horses here were that slow he went home to Nz rather than put up with that ( in the 80's I think) 😆 I must got some drives on some of them after he went rather unfortunately . One horse from Nz Victory Chimes was the most ugly horse i've ever seen lol . pretty sure Alan won some races on it too , but they were going no-where near 2 minutes at that stage and were a lot of battlers rather than fast horses in QLD. times have changed. they're all fast now lol. I wouldn't go asking about driving grass tracks and keeping your foot in the footrests. 😆 driving on the grass is super rough and you're flat out staying on your seat sometimes . let alone keep your feet up . Alan and Wilson would be bouncing around as much as anyone else lol. bloody gallopers leaving hard foot holes in the turf lol 🤣 -

Linebacker’s (NZ) (Super Seth) light spring holds no fears for connections ahead of the three-year-old’s return. John O’Shea isn’t anticipating Linebacker being ring rusty when he resumes for the first time as a gelding in the Eskimo Prince Stakes at Randwick. The Group 1 placegetter was only seen twice in the spring, most recently when sixth in the Golden Rose after a coltish pre-race display that resulted in him performing below expectations. Immediately spelled and gelded, Linebacker will kick off his latest campaign in Saturday’s three-year-old feature having only raced twice in the past 10 months. However, taking a line through his closing fourth to Traffic Warden first-up in The Run To The Rose (1200m) in September, O’Shea is expecting him to be a force in the Eskimo Prince Stakes (1200m). “First-up he was very good last time in the six (furlong race), and he is going to concentrate a little bit better this week,” O’Shea said. “He came through his trial really well. I’m very happy with him and we’re looking forward to Saturday.” Under the set weights and penalties conditions, Linebacker will carry topweight of 58.5kg with regular jockey Kerrin Mcevoy secured for the ride. He will be one of two Eskimo Prince runners for the stable along with emerging filly Snow In May, who made a rapid ascent through the grades last preparation, winning a class one race at her second start at Newcastle in August before placing in the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) two runs later. O’Shea expects Snow In May to want further than Saturday’s sprint journey, but says the timing of the race suits her better than taking the more traditional fillies’ path through next weekend’s Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) as she heads towards the Group 1 Surround Stakes (1400m) on March 1. “We think three weeks into the Surround is better for her so she can have a little burn around on Saturday,” he said. Snow In May and Linebacker have drawn alongside one another in barriers three and four respectively with a field of 10 accepting for the Group 3 contest. View the full article -
next time you see alan pyers or wilson house ,ask them why it happened in the final 450m at hawera over the weekend.
