What Sandown Hillside Races Where Sandown Racecourse – 591-659 Princes Hwy, Springvale VIC 3171 When Wednesday, September 24, 2025 First Race 1:25pm AEST Visit Dabble Racing returns to the Hillside circuit at Sandown on Wednesday with a competitive eight-race meeting set down for decision. With showers forecast on raceday morning, the track is unlikely to improve from the Soft 5 rating, with the rail sticking to its true position the entire circuit. The first at Sandown is set to jump at 1:25pm AEST. Best Bet: Crusader Voyage Crusader Voyage finds a winnable maiden stepping to the mile and draws for the perfect run with Mark Zahra. He was brave first-up and now gets a more genuine tempo on a Soft 5, which should help him settle, balance, and use his late strength. From barrier six he can land midfield with cover, peel at the 400m and build through the long Sandown rise. With race fitness on the up and a handy map against largely exposed rivals, Crusader Voyage looks ready to put a maiden beside his name. Best Bet Race 1 – #8 Crusader Voyage (6) 3yo Colt | T: Chris Waller | J: Mark Zahra (57kg) Next Best at Sandown: Regal Might Regal Might maps for every possible chance from barrier one and looks a touch overlooked returning to 1300m. He’s consistent at this level, handles Soft going, and the 2kg claim from Logan Bates gets him in nicely against his rivals. Expect Bates to hold a forward spot behind genuine speed and be off the fence at the right time. With match fitness and an economical run in transit, Regal gets a great chance to surge late and pinch this. Next Best Race 7 – #2 Regal Might (1) 5yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Logan Bates (a2) (61kg) Best Value at Sandown: Move On In Move On In profiles superbly third-up to 1800m in BM66 grade. The Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) stable has him ready to peak, and with a 3kg claim he carries weight well relative to his talent. From barrier eight, Luke Cartwright can be positive to hold a stalking role, and the Soft 5 shouldn’t worry a UK-bred staying type. His ratings out of recent runs suggest there’s a new figure imminent at this trip, and a fair tempo should let him grind into the race from the 600m and salute at a double-figure price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 5 – #1 Move On In (GB) (8) 5yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Luke Cartwright (a3) (61kg) Wednesday quaddie tips for Sandown Sandown quadrella selections Wednesday, September 24, 2025 1-4-5-7 4-8-11-14-15-16 2-5-8-10 2-5-10-15 Horse racing tips View the full article -
you know steven b,don't your words indicate you see her and what she says, as more of a threat than others do.. why is that? much of your comment seems to be about her..why spend so much time attacking her? one can only guess as to why you have done that. maybe you have good reason to have made it about her personality. also if it is personal, then i think you should word it in a way that doesn't come acrooss that way,to get greater effect. thats my 2 cents worth. -

The bloodstock world has been rocked by the news that Wootton Bassett has died at the age of 17. In a statement on X, Coolmore Australia said, “Wootton Bassett, one of the world's great sires, has sadly passed away today at Coolmore Australia having suffered from choke and subsequently developing an acute pneumonia which deteriorated rapidly. “Despite round-the-clock care from a dedicated team of vets, overseen by Dr Nathan Slovis from Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Kentucky, he was unable to be saved. “Wootton Bassett's story as a sire is a unique one. Nicolas de Chambure got him off to an incredible start at Haras d'Etreham in France before he was acquired by Coolmore in 2020. “In his time at Coolmore he developed into a world-class sire, with 25 stakes winners and six Group One winners from his current two and three-year-old crops conceived in Ireland. Included amongst these are multiple Group One-winning sons Camille Pissaro and Henri Matisse as well as this season's multiple Group One-winning filly, Whirl. “His current two-year-old crop in Europe already includes six Group winners. Albert Einstein, who defeated subsequent Group One winner Power Blue in the Group Three Marble Hill Stakes, is considered by both Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore to be one of the best two-year-olds ever seen in Ballydoyle. “Two more colts, Constitution River and Puerto Rico, have won Group Two races in recent weeks while a pair of fillies, Composing and Beautify, both scored at the same level.” The post Shock As Coolmore Announce Death Of Superstar Stallion Wootton Bassett appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Coolmore stallion Wootton Bassett dies www.racenet.com.au Wootton Bassett, the world's hottest young stallion, has died suddenly due to illness. Coolmore Australia confirmed Wootton Bassett, 17, had passed away on Tuesday having suffered from choke before developing acute pneumonia. His condition deteriorated rapidly and he was unable to be saved by Coolmore's team of vets. "We got the best veterinary care we could to the horse, we did everything possible but we couldn't save him," Coolmore Australia supremo Tom Magnier said. "He got sick a couple of days ago and went downhill very quickly. It only happened about an hour ago so it's very raw. "To lose a horse like him is devastating and I feel for our staff who have always cared for this horse, day in and day out. They are shattered." Wootton Bassett was standing for $385,000 at Coolmore for the upcoming season. One of Europe's best two-year-olds during his short but successful career, he started his career at stud with Hara d'Etreham in France in 2012 before being sold to Coolmore in 2020. He has visited Australia as a shuttle stallion for Coolmore in recent times and produced 2025 Golden Slipper runner-up Wodeton in his first Australian crop. The Chris Waller-trained colt will look to deliver Coolmore an emotion charged victory in the Group 1 $1 million Golden Rose (1400m) this weekend. Ciaron Maher's State Visit, another Coolmore-owned son of Wootton Bassett, will also contest the Golden Rose. Royal Patronage delivered Wootton Bassett with a maiden Group 1 victory on Australian shores when he claimed the Canterbury Stakes (1300m) at Randwick in March. -

Coolmore confirms Wootton Bassett loss www.racing.com Wootton Bassett, the sire of Melbourne Cup favourite Al Riffa, has died at age 17 at Coolmore Australia in NSW. Coolmore confirmed his death of the famed dual-hemisphere stallion from pneumonia on Tuesday afternoon. ‘’Wootton Bassett, one of the world’s great sires has sadly passed away today at Coolmore Australia having suffered from choke and subsequently developing an acute pneumonia which deteriorated rapidly,’’ the statement read. ‘’Despite round-the-clock care from a dedicated team of vets, overseen by Dr Nathan Slovis from Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Kentucky, he was unable to be saved.’’ A G1 winner in France over 1600 metres, Wootton Bassett first shuttled to Australia from Ireland in 2021 on a $71,500 fee. By last season, he commanded a higher fee than any other stallion at $385,000 at which he served 136 mares. Purchased after his racing career by Coolmore in 2020, Wootton Bassett quickly developed into a world class sire and currently boasts 25 stakes winners and six G1 winners from his current two and three-year-old crops conceived in Ireland,’’ Coolmore said. Canterbury Stakes winner Royal Patronage is also by Wootton Bassett and there are more likely stars yet emerging. ‘’In Australia, his first crop is highlighted by this year’s Golden Slipper runner-up and first colt home Wodeton, who lines up in the G1 Golden Rose Stakes this weekend for Chris Waller.’’
