6th-GP, $70K, Msw, 2yo, f, 6f, 3:30 p.m. ET. A $630,000 buy at the 2024 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling sale, LITTLE GEORGIE (Charlatan) makes her first start for trainer Saffie Joseph. Sporting the same distinctive chestnut color as her sire, the filly is out of MSW Swingit (Victory Gallop), the dam of 10 foals, eight to race and seven winners. Chief among her produce are MGISP Neolithic (Harlan's Holiday) and MGSW Travel Column (Frosted). The latter–initially an $850,000 yearling purchase by OXO Equine–went to Spendthirft Farm for $2-million at the 2023 Fasig-Tipton Fall Mixed sale.

Brent won on Perhaps for Colin Jillings. Opie was an apprentice when he won the Auckland Cup on Jezabeel. -

Alexis Badel believes the improving Fast Network has the credentials to compete in elevated Group 2 company on Sunday (26 October) when he steps out in HK$5.35 million G2 Premier Bowl (1200m) at Sha Tin, with the handicapper lending a helping hand. The Frenchman partnered the Dennis Yip-trained five-year-old to a thrilling G3 National Day Cup Handicap (1000m) victory three weeks ago, and said he can continue his impressive form on the 1200m course at Sha Tin, where he has won two of four outings. For that win, Fast Network (124lb) was hit with a seven-point rating hike – to a career-high 111 – but the presence of top-rated sprint star Helios Express (135lb) in the field has compressed the weights, handing the rest a lenient pull, and on Sunday, Badel’s mount will carry one pound less for his National Day Cup effort. “I think he does (handle the step-up to Group 2). I think the handicap plays in his favour,” said Badel, who won the Premier Bowl in 2022 aboard the great Wellington. “He doesn’t carry too much weight – I think 124 (pounds) is more than reasonable.” While John Size’s Group 1 stalwart Helios Express is the class horse in the race, Badel acknowledged a strong challenge could also emerge in the form of David Hayes’ Tomodachi Kokoroe (115lb). The Written Tycoon gelding, who has amassed more than HK$13 million in career stakes, is enjoying an Indian summer in his seven-year-old season, with two wins from two runs already this season, the first of which set a new Sha Tin Class 2 1200m record mark. “It’s interesting to see how he’ll respond against Tomodachi Kokoroe with the bottom weight – with the (1200m) record in Class 2,” said Badel, who has won two of the three Group races contested this season. “And Helios Express, which always gets beaten by the superstar … So I think it is a pretty open race.” A repeat of Fast Network’s National Day Cup heroics could thrust the Wrote gelding into the conversation surrounding the fast-approaching LONGINES Hong Kong International Races on 14 December. The LONGINES HKIR resume is there; Fast Network has won six of his 13 career starts and has never finished further back than fifth. Badel was confident the galloper could deliver. “He gave me a good feel in the Group 3. If he can repeat that, he should run well,” he said. With the draw confirmed, top-weight Helios Express, who will be looking to build on his HK$4.2 million G3 Sha Tin Vase (1200m) win at the end of last season, drew ideally in barrier two. Lightweight Tomodachi Kokoroe was handed a boost when he drew barrier five. Fast Network, who usually prefers to race on the pace, will start from gate 12. Sunday’s (26 October) HK$5.35 million G2 Premier Bowl Handicap (1200m) is the highlight of a 10-race fixture and starts at 4.45pm. View the full article -

Trainer Paul Preusker will get another tilt at a Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) after Torranzino (NZ) (Tarzino) ran out a strong winner of the Gr.3 Geelong Cup (2400m) on Thursday. Connections of the son of Tarzino roared as their charge raced past hot-favourite Gilded Water (Fastnet Rock), which is raced by His Majesty The King. Perfectly ridden by Celine Gaudray, Torranzino applied pressure to Gilded Water rounding the home turn and went on to score by half a length to claim the golden ticket into the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday week. Preusker saddled Surprise Baby (NZ) (Shocking) to finish a luckless fifth in the 2019 Melbourne Cup won by Vow And Declare (Declaration of war) and admits he was too cute with the son of Shocking when attempting to snare the 2020 Melbourne Cup off a two-start campaign. “I’m super excited to get another go, that is what it is all about,” he said. “Celine’s has got that job done for me. “He has been an unbelievable horse all the way through. He has wanted to do things his way, I have hurdle schooled him, steeple schooled him, we have locked horns plenty of times, but eventually he won and he is a happy horse now. “Everyone knows if you can get a chance, you’re a chance and you learn every time you get into the Cup. I am grateful for the opportunity to go again. “He is pretty much there now, I will just have to keep the weight of him. He is a horse that does well. We will just keep him ticking over he will do plenty in between, but we won’t ask him for anything more. He’s pretty fit.” For Celine Gaudray, just having a ride in the Melbourne Cup is a dream in itself. “It is so surreal, ever since I was a little girl, I have always watched the Melbourne Cup, to get a ride is unbelievable, and this horse really deserves his spot,” she said. “The whole race I was actually giggling to myself, he was travelling really well, I thought around the 600m I would let him pop out and come into it. I had so much horse underneath me, and he just took me through the line. “I was happy (about the slow pace) as last time they were so strung out and he wasn’t travelling that well. Whereas today, he was able to get a softer run in behind them, and I knew if I pulled out early enough, he would be able to run over the top.” By Westbury Stud stallion Tarzino, Torranzino was bred by Payne Family Racing Pty Ltd. He is the first foal to race out of the Helmet mare Goldilicious (NZ), who is a half-sister to the Group Three winner Showbeel (NZ) (Savabeel), who in turn is out of Champion Stayer Showella (NZ). Torranzino was offered by Janine Dunlop’s Phoenix Park as a yearling in Book 1 of Karaka 2021, where Preusker bought him for $75,000 through New Zealand Bloodstock’s Mike Kneebone after the horse was initially passed in. OTI Racing have recently purchased his half-brother Kandinsky (NZ) (Time Test), who has joined the Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr stable after impressing at the trials for Tony Pike. Kaha Nui Farm purchased his half-brother by Sword Of State at June’s New Zealand Bloodstock Weanling Sales and will present him at January’s NZB National Yearling Sales. View the full article
