Talented but injury plagued sprinter Poetic Champion (NZ)(Super Seth) once again displayed his absolute class in a fresh state when he monstered his rivals in the Ancroft Developments (1200m) at Matamata. Carrying topweight of 59kgs, even after apprentice Sam McNab applied his 3kg claim, the son of Super Seth made no race of it once McNab found the lead from barrier rise and applied the blowtorch to his rivals from that point onwards. Poetic Champion was cruising as he rounded the home turn and quickly extended to a two-length margin over the chasing pack. McNab gave his mount a couple of flicks on the rump and he bounded away to win by just over three lengths at the line from Egyptian Queen (Zoustar), who chased him gamely all the way and the late closing Lachie. Trainer Tony Pike, who had also produced another promising mare in Thooza (NZ) (Almanzor) to win nicely earlier on the card, was thrilled to see his star back to his best although he knows that his racing career is on a day-by-day basis. “I think he could be a proper Group One sprinter if he hadn’t been plagued with knee issues all of his career,” Pike said. “When he is 100 percent sound he oozes class, but we generally can only get two or three starts out of him before the issues flare up and he has to go back to the paddock. “He was first-up today after 10 months off and he did what he normally does although we expected him to win in rating 75 company as he is much better than that. “I’m hopeful that as he matures, he will start to shake off some of the problems. He has pulled up better than I have seen before. “We’ll probably take him to Trentham next for the Lightning (Listed, 1200m) in April as he goes better left-handed with less pressure on his right knee, which is his worst.” Pike was also delighted with the performance of Thooza, who took out a rating 75 1400m contest in a tight three-way tussle at the finish of the fourth race on the card. “She (Thooza) is getting better and better as she matures and she was very good today,” he said. “She got run off her feet on a very firm track at Te Rapa last time but with a little more give in the surface today she was much better suited. “The way she is progressing she will deserve a shot at some black type, so we will be looking to see where we can go to try and achieve that goal.” Pike went within a long head of a winning treble with promising stayer Maldini (NZ) (Tarzino) succumbing to the late charge from Savoir Faire (NZ) (Savabeel) when beaten into second by just a long head in the open 2000m contest on the card.

It was an emotional moment at Wingatui on Saturday for Vicky Ramhit, with the Timaru trainer rewarding his parents for their support with a big winner’s cheque followingAladdins Jem’s (NZ)(Satono Aladdin) victory in the $200,000 ODT Southern Mile Final (1600m). Ramhit shares in the ownership of the mare with a small group, including his parents, Jagdish and Pratibha Ramhit, and they have enjoyed a fruitful run with the daughter of Satono Aladdin, including victory over 1400m during New Zealand Cup Week. Her last start win at Wingatui last month qualified her for the ODT Southern Mile Final and Ramhit was hopeful she would continue her good run of form in the rich feature. However, she was given no favours from her wide alley and leading South Island hoop Tina Comignaghi was forced to ride her for luck at the back of the pack. Turning for home she still had all before her and what looked to be an impenetrable wall of horses, but Comignaghi kept the faith, gaps opened, and her charge was able to burst through them, appearing late on the scene to capture victory by three-quarters of a length over Our Approval (NZ) (Ghibellines). “She is a gem, she is something else this horse,” Comignaghi said. “I was flat at the back of the field so I thought I would take my chances and ride for luck, the gaps opened and she burst through them. “He (Ramhit) is a great trainer, a good friend of mine, so I am super happy for him to get this win.” Ramhit, who is now training in a solo capacity after partnerships with John and Karen Parsons, and Bruce Tapper, was rapt to get the victory, particularly for his parents, and he was full of praise for Comignaghi’s ride. “She’s the first horse since I have been training that Mum and Dad own,” he said. “It’s very special. “She is a very good mare. I have given her a lot of time because she takes heaps of time to back-up after a race. “She (Comignaghi) is a talented jockey, I didn’t say anything to her, she knows what she is doing.” Ramhit hasn’t made any set plans with Aladdins Jem but said he will savour the win over the coming days before sitting down and hashing a plan. “I will get home and give it two days and then decide what to do with her,” he said. Bred by Okaharau Station, Aladdins Jem is out of Keepaflight (NZ), a half-sister to Group One performer Cog Hill (NZ) (Star Way). She initially had three starts for Wexford Stables before being offered on gavelhouse.com where she was purchased by Ramhit for $11,500. She has gone on to win three of her five starts for the South Canterbury horseman and accrued more than $170,000 in prizemoney. View the full article -

The two stand-outs heading into the second leg of the four-year-old series, Numbers will chase a hat-trick of victories while Little Paradise is fresh from a stunning triumph in the Classic Mile. Lor’s Australian import has made an instant impression in Hong Kong, following a first-up third at Happy Valley with a Class...View the full article -
