Kingswood. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Irish import Kingswood could be aimed at the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) in March, with trainer Gavin Bedggood cautiously weighing up the timing following a taxing spring carnival campaign. The gelding was last seen finishing fifth in the Group 2 Zipping Classic (2400m) on November 30, after claiming victory in the Group 3 Coongy Cup (2000m) during a four-start preparation. “I earmarked the Australian Cup for him, but it’s not a long turnaround from spring from his last run to that race,” Bedggood told Racing.com. “I will go and have a look at him towards the end of the year. He’s been in the paddock now for a couple of weeks, and I’ll see how he is looking. “It’s a possibility. He’s a pretty good galloper.” Reflecting on Kingswood’s recent performances, Bedggood added: “I would say we went to Sydney not quite at the end of his preparation, but he was on the way down, and then we went to the Sandown Classic. “I think 2400 metres saw him out, but I don’t think he’s all that at home on wet ground. “We may poke around the fringes early, then end up in Brisbane in a race like the Doomben Cup. We will see how his form stacks up.” Horse racing news View the full article -

By Adam Hamilton A couple of sweltering Melbourne days have delayed the start of exciting Kiwi pacer Tact McLeod’s Victorian campaign. In the care of Anthony Butt and Sonya Smith, Tact McLeod was slated to open his assault in a free-for-all at Cranbourne on Saturday. “We’re going to hold back and wait another week now,” Butt said. “When he arrived down from Sydney, we had a couple of really hot days, so we decided just to take it easy on him. “Cranbourne was never a definite, more a good starting point, if it suited at the time.” Instead, Tact McLeod will go to the Group 2 Bendigo Cup on January 4. “That’s the new starting point,” Butt said. “The Ballarat Cup is also a definite target on January 18. Now he’s missing Cranbourne, there’s a chance he could go to the Shepparton Cup (January 11) in between Bendigo and Ballarat as well, but we’ll play that by ear.” Tact McLeod, who missed the recent Inter Dominion series with an untimely hoof abscess, will head to the Group 1 Hunter Cup (February 1) after Ballarat. It is shaping as a potentially thin Hunter Cup with dual NZ Cup winner Swayzee almost certain to miss it and doubts still lingering over defending champion Leap To Fame. “It doesn’t look as though those early races will have much depth to them,” Butt said. “Even the Hunter Cup if you take out Swayzee and maybe Leap To Fame it becomes a really attractive and winnable option. “We haven’t had him here long, but he’s a lovely horse, very well mannered. “He showed NZ Cup Week he can match it with the best and he’s still on the way up. “It was good to see him come out and win so well at Menangle the other week, especially knowing Mark (Jones, trainer) felt he was a bit short of his top going into it. “The gate speed he showed was exciting. As you know, gate speed is such a vital thing in Aussie racing.” Butt already holds the record with seven Hunter Cup wins as a driver, but it’s 11 years since his last victory aboard Mah Sish. “It’s always been a great race to me and I’m due for another one,” he laughed.

Keenelnd winning the Listed Super Impose Stakes (1800m) at Flemington. Photo: Bruno Cannatelli The Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained Keeneland is being aimed at the Group 1 Queensland Derby (2400m) this winter following an explanation for his disappointing run in last month’s Group 1 Victoria Derby (2500m). The gelded son of Almanzor finished tenth in the 2500-metre Classic, despite appearing to be a winning chance as he surged to the front on the home turn before fading late. “He looked like the winner and then he gave absolutely nothing,” Busuttin told Racing.com. “There had to be an excuse, and we had him scoped. The vets found he had an entrapped epiglottis. “Since then, he’s had a minor procedure to correct it.” Busuttin added: “He peeled out like he was going to win, which is what his jockey Hugh Bowman thought as well, but he just didn’t let down. “That’s no surprise, as that’s what’s going to happen when you can’t get any air in. “You just can’t pick up if that’s the case.” Acknowledging the quick turnaround from the Victoria Derby to Sydney, the trainers have decided to take their time, with their focus now on the Queensland Derby.

Dashing. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) After four consistent runs this season without clinching victory, the Aaron Purcell-trained Dashing is set to target a breakthrough performance in Thursday’s Listed Lord Stakes (1600m) at Caulfield Heath. The five-year-old gelding has been knocking on the door with strong placings, finishing third in the Listed Cranbourne Cup (1600m) and second in the Werribee Cup (1600m) in his last two starts. However, Purcell also has the option of sending Dashing to the $300,000 Coastal Classic (1700m) at Geelong ten days later. “The plan is to accept for Thursday with Craig Newitt to ride,” Purcell explained. “I wouldn’t imagine it to be a super big field, with a couple of them nominated having gone around at Pakenham. “The weights are a bit strange, with Welwal carrying 60 kilos and the rest at the bottom with 54. If he (Welwal) doesn’t run, the rest will go up.” Reflecting on Dashing’s recent runs, Purcell noted: “Globe ran up to his best and was too good on the day at Cranbourne. “At Werribee, we drew a bit wide and had to work a bit early, which left us vulnerable late for Riot And Rose to run over the top of us. “He’s right there and just needs to draw a gate and get a bit of luck in running.” Dashing’s versatility and recent form ensure he remains a strong contender, whether at Caulfield Heath or Geelong.
