    • Anyone ever consider that might be just how good she is or not?
    • Why would it work fine on race videos and other streaming apps though? Download speed tests run at about 150-200 mb/s here during business hours, faster at night.
    • El Vencedor is on target for next month’s Group 1 Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) following his pleasing trial victory at Matamata on Tuesday. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Top-flight winner El Vencedor is in a happy place as he prepares to double his tally at the elite level. Last season’s Group 1 New Zealand Stakes (2000m) victor enjoyed a spin around Matamata on Tuesday, romping home by six lengths in the hands of Rory Hutchings in a 1200m open trial. “He had a lovely day out, he galloped beautifully and pulled up great,” trainer Stephen Marsh said. “He’ll be at Ellerslie on February 1 for an open 1500m and then on to the Herbie Dyke Stakes (Group 1, 2000m). “He’s right back where we want him, he’s well and a very happy horse.” El Vencedor won the Group 3 Balmerino Stakes (2000m) in the spring but then tailed the field home in the Group 1 Mufhasa Classic (1600m) before finishing a gallant third behind Snazzytavi and La Crique in the Group 1 Zabeel Classic (2000m). “He missed the jump at Trentham, did a bit of work and the track was a bit off, but it was a below par effort before he bounced back at Ellerslie,” Marsh said. “It was basically catch me if you can and even Rory said the mares would have to be good to beat him, as it ended up they were good enough, but I still thought he was terrific.” Stablemate and last-start Group 2 Rich Hil Mile (1600m) winner Bourbon Empress also stretched her legs at the trials and finished runner-up over 1000m ahead of her next test in the $1 million Elsdon Park Aotearoa Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie. “She’s a mare that keeps on improving and everything we do with her, she just keeps on getting better and better,” Marsh said. Meanwhile, Nest Egg has mixed his form in the lead-up to Saturday’s Group 3 Wellington Cup (3200m) and hopes of a turnaround in fortunes have been boosted by the booking of Warren Kennedy. “Not a lot has gone right, but Warren seems to be the man that has always got on well with him,” Marsh said. “The horse’s work has been great, he went out to the beach on Monday and he’s well and happy. The track should be good, so he gets his chance to get back into form, but it has been a very in and out campaign.” Also in action at Trentham will be the promising filly Bellarista in the Group 3 Desert Gold Stakes (1600m) and last-start winner Sinhaman. “Bellarista hasn’t put a foot wrong and it’s an even field, she had her final piece of work this (Wednesday) morning and she’s hard to fault,” Marsh said. “Sinhaman just loves getting over a bit of ground and he’s a nice, progressive horse.” Marsh also has a big team engaged at Te Rapa on Thursday and believed Penman, runner-up in his only two starts, as one of his best chances when he steps out in the Waikato Draught Maiden (1400m). “He’s going really well and he’s just going to need a bit of luck from the draw (11),” he said.

    • She goes well fresh and Wodger said 'she's ready to go albeit will take improvement" 3 starts before fresh and over the same c/d she ran 6l quicker in the first 400M and ran home the fastest 400M and 2nd fastest 200M of the race behind Shamus 1st /2nd over 1200m as a 2 yo... she's a 2000M horse who doesn't mind 1400M at all Like all good stayers fresh Keep the excuses coming though and I'll keep batting you As before Australian stewards would've blinded Gryll's with stats and pointed out his attempt at "not using a race as a training ground"  
    • Via Sistina. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Via Sistina is the star attraction for Chris Waller’s stable at Thursday’s barrier trials, with the champion trainer set to showcase seven elite-level contenders at Warwick Farm. The seven-year-old mare, who last raced when claiming the Group 1 Champions Stakes (2000m) at Flemington on November 9, will trial in the second heat of the morning over 900 metres against five stablemates. Waller is preparing Via Sistina for a shot at a seventh Group 1 win in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at Randwick in April, where she will be looking to improve on last year’s second-place finish behind Pride Of Jenni. Joining Via Sistina in the second heat are Group 1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) winner Asterix, making his first appearance for Waller, along with Birdman, Declichy Boulevard, Lady Shenandoah, and Manzoice. In the opening heat over 900 metres, Group 1-winning trio Atishu, Private Life, and Switzerland will go head-to-head. Meanwhile, three-time Group 1 winner Fangirl features in the third heat, where she will face stablemates Francesco Guardi, Gatsby’s, Kinesiology, and Valiant King.
