Hurdle racing’s new star The Cunning Fox (NZ) (Reliable Man) will not try to replicate his super jumping form on the flat, with the emerging grey galloper to miss Saturday’s Listed Andrew Ramsden (2800m) at Flemington. Co-trainer Patrick Payne said on Tuesday he has decided the Australian Hurdle (3900m) at Sandown on June 1 is a better option, rather than racing on the flat at Flemington. “He’s come through Warrnambool really well and I nominated him (for the Ramsden) just to have a look, but I just think we will concentrate on jumping with him,” Payne said. “He’s very efficient and very determined when he jumps.” Only a six-year-old, The Cunning Fox has not won on the flat for more than 12 months but is unbeaten in his five hurdle races to date. His latest outing was in the Galleywood Hurdle at Warrnambool and Payne said that victory showed just how quickly he is rising up the ratings for jumpers. “He has gone up the ratings very quickly so I think he’ll be OK to run in the Australian Hurdle and then we might have to look at being a bit smarter (running in set-weights races) as he’s still young,” he said. The Cunning Fox carried a jumps rating of 121 when he won his second jumps start at Sandown at the end of last season, but his three jumps wins this season have seen his figure rise to 138. In comparison, Affluential (NZ) (Zed), who he beat at Warrnambool, is rated at 136 and is the reigning Grand National Hurdle winner. While Payne will be careful to protect The Cunning Fox through the season through set-weights hurdle races, he is hopeful of still figuring in the big jumps races towards the end of the season. “Nassak Diamond (NZ) (Roc de Cambes) is our next hope,” Payne said of the six-year-old mare. “She had two jumping races last season and this time around we’ll concentrate on the big steeplechases and next year’s Grand Annual.” View the full article -

Kalpana (Study Of Man) is likely to kick off her campaign in the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup later this month after a dirty scope ruled the four-year-old out of her intended return to action in Thursday's G2 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Middleton Fillies' Stakes at York. Trained by Andrew Balding for Juddmonte, Kalpana was last seen winning the G1 British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot in October, looking a contender for further top honours in 2025 as she handed out a comprehensive two-length beating to her 13 rivals. Her connections had been hoping to use the Middleton as a stepping stone to next month's G1 Pretty Polly Stakes, but she is now set for a few days on the easy list before a potential tilt at the Tattersalls Gold Cup, which takes place at the Curragh on Sunday, May 25. “Andrew just wasn't happy with her scope this morning and there was a little bit of mucus there,” said Barry Mahon, European racing manager for Juddmonte, who completed the Middleton/Pretty Polly double last year with their subsequent Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine Bluestocking. “The vet said he would like to treat her for a couple of days so we couldn't declare her for York. It's unfortunate but it is nothing sinister and hopefully we will get her back in a couple of weeks.” He added, “We could look towards the Curragh for the Tattersalls Gold Cup and, if the treatment clears her up and Andrew is happy with her, I would say that would look the most obvious next target. After that you are rolling into Epsom [for the Coronation Cup]. “She probably just needs a few days of antibiotics and should be okay. Hopefully, that could still leave her on track for the Tattersalls Gold Cup, all being well.” In the absence of Kalpana, Balding's See The Fire heads a field of eight set to go to post for the Middleton, while ante-post Derby favourite The Lion In Winter is one of 11 runners declared for the G2 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes on the same card. His rivals include Godolphin's unbeaten Alpine Trail and the Balding-trained Royal Playwright, a half-brother to See The Fire.

I see a few well known trainers not happy on Facebook…. seems a disqualified trainer has been allowed to resume training? Who is that, no doubt it will be out in the public soon…. -
I remember at the time, Mark Purdon stating that Auckland Reactor was the best horse he had trained 🫣😙, was surprised he stated that, mind you probably added a few $$$ to its price….
