    • Vlad Duric. (Photo by Ross Holburt/Racing Photos) Vlad Duric is set to have his first ride in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m) on Friday, partnering with the Donna Stanbridge-trained Secret Sort in the prestigious $3 million event. The Victorian-born jockey, who spent nearly 15 years in Singapore, returned to Brisbane last year. After dealing with a persistent knee injury, he has recently resumed riding. “I took three months off with my knee problems,” Duric explained. “It took a little while to get up to fitness again, to be honest, being that little bit older, and I don’t really want to be having that long off again. “But in the last couple of weeks, I’ve really tightened up and I’m starting to feel really bouncing and good, which is great.” Secret Sort broke his maiden at his second start in November, followed by a third-place finish in the Listed Phelan Ready Plate (1110m) and a fourth in the Group 3 BJ McLachlan Stakes (1200m) on December 21, where Duric was in the saddle. Reflecting on the latter performance, Duric said, “He’s very fast out of the machine. He showed a lot of speed at his first few starts, but they wanted me to ride him from behind the other day. “He got into that position nicely but then got stuck back on the inside and didn’t get a lot of room in the straight.” Describing the young colt, Duric added, “He’s a very well-educated, bombproof two-year-old, but he’s just a little on the small side, so that’s the only thing with him. “But he’s going to make his own luck and be there, and you know he could definitely pick up a fat end of the cheque.” Horse racing news View the full article

    • A step back up in trip on his home track on Saturday will be ideal for talented stayer Mayor Of Norwood. The Brian and Shane Anderton-trained son of Ghibellines has an excellent record at Wingatui and will bid to add another victory to his CV when he runs in the WAE Waikouaiti Cup (2200m). Three-times successful on the course and once over the distance, Mayor Of Norwood was unplaced in the Gr.3 New Zealand Cup (3200m) two starts ago and returned to finish a handy sixth over 1600m on Boxing Day. “The 2200m will suit him, over the mile the other day he was just chasing from a bit far out,” Shane Anderton said. “We freshened him up, but it was too short for him so he’s back up in trip now.” Mayor Of Norwood, who will jump from the inside gate, and be partnered by Corey Campbell who has a good record on the six-year-old with a brace of wins and five minor placings from previous outings. Stablemate Exchange also looms as a strong hope in the other open handicap on the program, the Brent Lucas Builders (1400m), despite it not being the trainers preferred race. Another son of Ghibellines, the eight-year-old returned from a lengthy break over 1400m at Riverton on New Year’s Day to finish an encouraging fourth. “He will improve a bit with his first-up run and he can be competitive,” Anderton said. “We were going to run him in the Southern Mile but couldn’t get a suitable claiming apprentice for him, but he is in this with a good weight (54.5kg).” The six-race winner will be ridden for the first time on Saturday by Krishna Mudhoo. Despite his absence, the stable will still be well-represented in the ODT Southern Mile Qualifier (1600m) with Bowler, Lined Satin and Helldancer in contention. The former pressed his claims with a last-start victory over the course and distance while both Lined Satin and Helldancer didn’t have the best of luck at their most recent appearances. Other chances include Eye Spy (Hope & Sons Mac Chaplin Memorial, 1200m)) and Flow Along (Cargill Contracting, 1200m) who won their most recent starts while the stable will also present a couple of in-form maiden prospects. Imperative runs in the Rural Merchants Palmerston (1600m) off the back of a resuming second and Wary has a first-up third to back his claims in the Waihemo Lodge Hotel (1300m). View the full article
