Dual Group One winner Snazzytavi pleased in her trial at Pukekohe on Thursday ahead of next month’s Group 1 Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) at Te Rapa. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Standout middle-distance mare Snazzytavi is set to shoot for a Group One treble after pleasing her connections at Thursday’s Pukekohe trials. Racing in the colours of Cambridge Stud owners Brendan and Jo Lindsay, the daughter of Tavistock has won four of her five starts this season including top-flight triumphs in the Livamol Classic (2040m) at Te Rapa in October and the Zabeel Classic (2000m) at Ellerslie on Boxing Day. She also won the Group 2 Cal Isuzu Stakes (1600m) in early December. Snazzytavi’s next assignment is the Group 1 Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) at Te Rapa on February 8, for which the TAB rates her a red-hot favourite at $1.70. She is unbeaten in five starts at the Hamilton course. Trainers Graham Richardson and Rogan Norvall kept the five-year-old up to the mark with a hitout over 1300m at Pukekohe on Thursday, in which she finished second behind Short Shorts. “I was delighted with that trial,” Richardson said. “We just wanted to give her a nice, quiet trial. I was very happy with the way she went, and even happier with how she pulled up. We’re right on target for the Herbie Dyke, which can’t come soon enough.” In the meantime, Richardson and Norvall will saddle two runners during the star-studded Karaka Millions twilight meeting at Ellerslie on Saturday. Click here for HorseBetting’s Karaka Millions meeting preview.Ellerslie full racing preview & tips | Karaka Millions 2025 Group One-winning mare Bonny Lass will contest the Group 1 Sistema Railway (1200m), attempting to go one better than a luckless second when the northern sprint feature was run at Pukekohe on New Year’s Day last year. Bonny Lass was a last-start sixth in the Group 1 Telegraph (1200m) at Trentham, with Richardson rating her performance much better than it might look on paper. “I thought that was a top run,” he said. “She was in the worst part of the track but stuck on really well, while others in the same part of the track faded out of it. We were very proud of her. She’s come through it in great order and we couldn’t be happier with her.” Richardson and Norvall’s other Ellerslie runner is Romilly in the $1.5 million Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m). The daughter of So You Think produced an enormous finish from last to run third in the Listed O’Learys Fillies’ Stakes (1340m) at Wanganui on November 30, finishing only a length behind next-start Group 2 Eight Carat Classic (1600m) winner Hitabell. But in the Eight Carat itself, Romilly raced three wide without cover and faded to finish ninth. “Her run at Wanganui was absolutely huge,” Richardson said. “She had no luck on Boxing Day and we’re trying to forget she even went around. “We’ve been happy with the horse since then. It’s a very even field on Saturday. She’s got a tricky draw again (gate nine), so we’ll just have to hope for some better luck in the running.” Horse racing news View the full article -

What Karaka Millions 2025 Where Ellerslie Racecourse – 100 Ascot Ave, Remuera, Auckland 1051, New Zealand When Saturday, January 25, 2025 First Race 4:38pm NZDT (2:38pm AEDT) Visit Dabble The Karaka Millions awaits punters on Saturday afternoon, with a stacked six-race meeting scheduled for one of New Zealand’s richest days of racing. The lucrative Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m) and Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) headline proceedings, while the Group 1 Sistema Railway (1200m) — worth more than NZ$4 million — will cap the meeting. With intermittent showers forecast, it is unlikely the track will receive an upgrade from the early Soft 5 rating. The rail will be in its true position, with action commencing at 4:38pm NZDT (2:38pm AEDT). Race 1: Group 3 Almanzor Trophy (1200m) Move To Strike is set to resume from a five-month spell, and if he brings anything close to his best, he looks hard to beat. The three-year-old colt is already a Group 1 winner and is blessed with a strong turn of foot. He does need to give his rivals weight, having to lug 60kg, but from barrier six, Blake Shinn should gain a perfect tow into the event approaching the home turn. A winner when first-up in the past, Move To Strike at $5.50 with Neds seems a great play in the opener. Selections: 1 MOVE TO STRIKE 2 POETIC CHAMPION 10 ARDALIO 3 I’M ALL IN Almanzor Trophy Race 1 – #1 Move To Strike (6) 3yo Colt | T: Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson | J: Blake Shinn (60kg) +450 with Neds Race 2: Aoetearoa Classic (1600m) Orchestral is one of the best New Zealand has to offer at the moment, but even a two-time Group 1 winner could not overcome the 60kg weight impost and a slowly run race in a field of four first-up from a spell. The four-year-old mare will no doubt appreciate stepping back up to the mile on Saturday, and considering she has three wins from five starts at Ellerslie, she clearly does her best work at the track. Craig Grylls will need a touch of luck coming from the back half of the field, but with the right run, Orchestral should win. Selections: 10 ORCHESTRAL 11 BOURBON EMPRESS 13 FROSTFAIR 1 WITZ END Aoetearoa Classic Race 2 – #10 Orchestral (3) 4yo Mare | T: Roger James & Robert Wellwood | J: Craig Grylls (55.5kg) +160 with BlondeBet Race 3: Group 2 Westbury Classic (1400m) Skew Wiff may have not won in over a year, but the five-year-old mare looks perfectly placed to register a win second-up. The Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson-trained mare found her rivals a touch too sharp in the Group 1 Telegraph (1200m) on January 4, but a step back up to the 1400m on Saturday can have her fighting out the finish. From barrier two, Blake Shinn will have his mount stalking the speed throughout, and when asked for the ultimate effort, Skew Wiff should be breaking that long winless drought. Selections: 2 SKEW WIFF 1 BELCLARE 3 TOWN CRYER 4 KONASANA Westbury Classic Race 3 – #2 Skew Wiff (2) 5yo Mare | T: Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson | J: Blake Shinn (58kg) +400 with Playup Race 4: Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m) Too Sweet was a dominant winner of the Group 2 Eclipse Stakes (1200m) on January 1 at this track and trip, and there is no reason she cannot build on that effort. Odds of $5 are available with horse racing betting sites, mainly because she is drawn out in barrier 15, but with plenty of early toe out of the barriers, Michael McNab should have no issue in negating the tricky draw. If the Satono Aladdin progeny doesn’t get caught wide throughout, she is the one to beat in the juvenile feature. Selections: 9 TOO SWEET 3 TO BRAVERY BORN 10 LA DORADA 5 HELLO ROMEO Karaka Millions 2YO Race 4 – #9 Too Sweet (15) 2yo Filly | T: Roydon Bergerson | J: Michael McNab (55kg) +400 with Dabble Race 5: Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) Dealt With is undefeated through two career starts, and on the quick back up after winning at Pukekohe last Sunday, he looks poised to build on that record in the Karaka Millions 3YO. The son of Ace High has controlled proceedings at both of his starts, and from barrier six, George Rooke should not have to work to hard to take up the running once more. He is the only natural front-runner, so if Dealt With gets away with a cheap sectional or two, he will take some running down. Selections: 4 DEALT WITH 3 TUXEDO 1 YALDI 10 DAMASK ROSE Karaka Millions 3YO Race 5 – #4 Dealt With (6) 3yo Gelding | T: Roger James & Robert Wellwood | J: George Rooke (57kg) +600 with Bet365 Race 6: Group 1 Sistema Railway (1200m) Karaka Millions Day ends with a bang with the Group 1 Sistema Railway, and with a breakneck speed expected, the race sets up perfectly for three-year-old filly Captured By Love. The Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson-trained prospect has yet to finish outside of the top three in 10 starts, boasting five wins to her name in that time. Barrier 11 is offset by the fact she gets back in her races, but with an electric turn of foot, Captured By Love should be capturing her second Group 1 triumph. Selections: 11 CAPTURED BY LOVE 3 CROCETTI 12 ALABAMA LASS 1 WAITAK Sistema Railway Race 6 – #11 Captured By Love (11) 3yo Filly | T: Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson | J: Craig Williams (52.5kg) +550 with Picklebet Saturday quaddie tips for Ellerslie Ellerslie quadrella selections Saturday, January 25, 2025 1-2-3-4 3-5-9-10 1-3-4-6-10 3-11-12 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -
