Race 7/ OUR Vincent Van Gogh $2.00 NZ horse with champ Luke McCarthy now. Wins Race 8/ SIX NZ bred horses in the Big Feature G2 Redcliffe Cup. 'ARODA' (NZ bred) ran in a NZ Cup so must be alright ? but a few chances here. Maybe 'Petes Said So' old kiwi from NSW a good chance too.

LETS get this Done !!! 🏆😁 -
Yep. But NZTR said previously that Clegg Hammer readings would be required and reported for race meetings and what's more, the report said they were required by the contract with Martin Collins I think. -

Track specialist Sinbin (NZ) (Derryn) returned to her favourite Trentham track to claim her biggest victory to date, when she stormed home against the outside fence to win the Bill Tito Book Repair Specialist North Island Challenge Stakes (1200m). The Robbie Patterson-prepared daughter of Derryn had won two of her three career victories at Trentham and made it three wins and two runner-up finishes from just nine starts there in the hands of Mereana Hudson. Hudson was content to settle Sinbin at the rear of the six-horse field but crucially she got her away from the inside running rail after 300m and enjoying open spaces before angling across to the outside rail and better going rounding the home bend. With the field in a line across the track at the 400m, Sinbin quickly dashed to the front and put the result beyond doubt as she won easily by more than three lengths from Old Town Road (NZ) (El Roca) who chased her hard all the way home. Patterson has his eyes set on a special, home track prize for his mare as he targets the Listed Sinclair Electrical & Refrigeration Opunake Cup (1400m) at New Plymouth on 19 July. “She (Sinbin) is thriving on the wet tracks but more importantly we now know she has to have her races spaced,” Patterson said. “She is quite a nervous type but enjoys Trentham although she doesn’t have to have a bottomless track to perform on. “She has matured nicely and while she is in this sort of form we might as well have a shot at the Opunake Cup as she will get in with a light weight on her home patch. I will also have Our Jumala (NZ) (Zed) in that one so we will have two good chances.” Raced by Sandie Cookson and Angeline Porter, Sinbin is the only foal out of Handsome Ransom mare Monie O’Ceirin (NZ) and is closely related to the Gr.3 Gold Trail Stakes (1200m) winner Rememba Howe (NZ) who also finished fourth in the 2010 Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m). The day’s other major flat race was captured by Bradman (NZ) (Pins) who took out the MJH Engineering Limited Whyte Handicap (1600m) in similar fashion to Sinbin as he found the coveted strip of ground against the outside running rail and held out the challenges of Chantilly Lace (NZ) (U S Navy Flag) and Chase (NZ) (Zed) in a driving finish. Prepared by Roydon Bergerson at Awapuni, the consistent seven-year-old son of Pins was always handy to the pace before rider Jim Chung angled him wider on the track at the 700m to claim the fast lane in the home straight. Left in front at the 400m Bradman fought hard as he fended off all challenges to win by nearly two lengths at the winning post. Bergerson paid tribute to a stable favourite who is always thereabouts in his racing and who tries his heart out. “He is such a tough little bugger and he always gives his best,” Bergerson said. “I do kick myself a little that I haven’t placed him quite right as he won a Listed race early on and has tended to carry the grandstand in a lot of his starts since. “He ran third in the Winter Cup (Gr.3, 1600m) down at Riccarton last year so that’s where we are going to take him again. “I don’t think he will have a run before then, but I may give him a trial just to keep his fitness up.” The Gr.3 Winning Edge Presentations Winter Cup (1600m) is the feature flat event at Riccarton on 2 August. Bradman is out of the champion broodmare mare Baggy Green (Galileo) and is the younger brother of Gr.1 Metropolitan Handicap (2400m) winner No Compromise (NZ) (Pins) and a half-brother to four-time Australian Group One winner Tofane (NZ) (Ocean Park). He has now won nine of his 59 starts and along with 23 placings has amassed more than $340,000 in prizemoney for his large group of owners. – View the full article -

Jesko (NZ) (Atlante), the new steeplechasing star in New Zealand, produced another quality performance in the hands of his co-trainer Shaun Fannin to capture the time-honoured Grant Plumbing Wellington Steeplechase (4900m) at Trentham. Fannin, who prepares the seven-year-old alongside his wife Hazel, produced a remarkable ride that was befitting of the status of the event as he dictated all of the pace while conserving as much energy as possible for the last 600m slog in tough conditions. Jesko jumped superbly throughout and shook of the attentions of another champion jumper in The Cossack (NZ) (Mastercraftsman) with one fence left to clear, but was immediately challenged again by the Kevin Myers-trained Call Me Jack (NZ) (Jakkalberry). That pair went stride for stride through the crossing and onto the course proper with Jesko following an inside line that put him two lengths in front clearing the final obstacle. Fannin asked for the supreme effort and Jesko responded as he forged away to the joy of his many supporters to win by three and a half lengths from Call Me Jack with a huge gap back to The Anarchist (NZ) (Raise The Flag) who battled solidly for third. Fannin was proud of the way his charge stuck to his guns throughout while admitting he hasn’t been an easy horse to prepare on his journey to where he currently sits. “Satisfaction is the word, as a lot of work has gone on behind the scenes with this horse to get him to where he is today,” Fannin said. “Hazel and I and a lot of owners are involved in this horse, which is what racing is all about and I’m sure they have got a big thrill out of this win. “I was concerned when we saw the field come out as there didn’t look to be a real leader in the race and although he was keen in front he can also baulk at the fences when he is like that. “He landed in front (over every fence) and grabbed the bit when something came up to challenge him. I wasn’t concerned when Call Me Jack came up beside us as it probably helped my horse a little bit. “He does stay really well and came away at the finish.” Fannin now has his eyes on the $200,000 Racecourse Hotel & Motor Lodge 150th Grand National Steeplechase (5600m) at Riccarton in August, a race he has won the last three editions of aboard reigning New Zealand Jumper of the Year West Coast (NZ) (Mettre En Jeu) and looks likely to try and defend his crown once again. Raced by a large group of owners that includes Fannin himself and recent additions the micro share syndicator RNZ Frac Club 6 Syndicate, Jesko has won seven races and placed in a further six for over $170,940 in stakes after Fannin purchased him for just $3,300 via gavelhouse.com in 2021.

A tenacious front-running performance in Saturday’s A$160,000 Captivant @ Kia Ora Handicap (1400m) at Rosehill added a first city victory to Puntin’s (NZ) (Super Seth) burgeoning record. The New Zealand-bred three-year-old gelding has now had six starts for four wins and two seconds, earning A$184,400 for his big group of owners. Puntin stepped up to 1400m on Saturday after a narrow last-start defeat over 1250m at Canterbury on June 9. Drawn gate seven in a nine-horse field, Puntin was pushed forward by jockey Ash Morgan and quickly took up the lead. He never relinquished that position, digging deep when challenged in the straight and holding on to score a tough win by a short neck. “I was open to taking a sit today, but they put me into a position where had to grab the bull by the horns a little bit,” Morgan said. “Luckily, when he was there, he relaxed for me really well. “I felt like I was going to be vulnerable late because of that work in the first furlong, but he is an incredibly tough horse with a lovely attitude. He kept sticking his head out.” Puntin brought up the 150th win of a career-best season for expat New Zealand trainer Bjorn Baker. “It’s never easy to win on a Saturday and I think there is more in store for Puntin, he has a great winning record,” Baker said. “He was tough and it was a good ride. I still think the best is yet to come, once we get him up over a bit further.” Puntin was bred by Jonathan Munz’s GSA Bloodstock, who also raced the gelding’s Caulfield Guineas-winning sire Super Seth. Now standing at Waikato Stud, Super Seth has made an enormous impact this year with Group One-winning progeny Feroce (NZ), Linebacker (NZ), La Dorada (NZ) and Maison Louis (NZ). Puntin is out of the winning Encosta De Lago mare Stella Grace, who is a full-sister to the stakes winner Risk Aversion and a half-sister to the multiple Group Two winner Shania Dane (Danehill). Three-quarter-sister Subsequent is the dam of Group One winner Summer Passage (Snitzel). Haunui Farm offered Puntin during Book 1 of Karaka 2023, where Bjorn Baker Racing and Clarke Bloodstock bought him for $60,000. View the full article
