    • Loose Sally will contest Saturday’s Listed NZB Airfreight Stakes (1600m) at Riccarton Park. Photo: Monica Toretto Wingatui trainer Shankar Muniandy is riding the crest of a wave with his talented filly Loose Sally, and he is hoping that continues at Riccarton on Saturday when she contests the Listed NZB Airfreight Stakes (1600m). The daughter of Turn Me Loose placed behind in-form filly Pivotal Ten in the Listed NZB Insurance Stakes (1400m) at Wingatui on Boxing Day before returning to the Dunedin track last month where she was victorious in the Listed Dunedin Guineas (1600m), giving Muniandy his second consecutive win in the race following Collect Your Cash’s triumph last year. The Otago horseman has been pleased with Loose Sally following her home track success and has cast his eye further north to test her talent at Riccarton this weekend. “It was a big thrill (to win the Dunedin Guineas) and she is a pretty smart filly,” Muniandy said. “After her last run she has just been ticking along quietly, and she is really well. I am pretty confident in her.” Loose Sally has drawn barrier seven on Saturday and will once again be ridden by Muniandy’s brother Ruvanesh. She is a big horse and needs plenty of room,” Muniandy said. “She loves to get back and will run home strongly. “My brother is back on again. He has done a lot of work on the horse since day one and he knows the horse well.” There has been plenty of interest in Loose Sally since her Guineas triumph, but Muniandy said the plan at this stage is to press on to the Listed New Zealand Bloodstock Warstep Stakes (2000m) at Riccarton later this month. “I have got a few people interested in her, but the owner is pretty keen to keep her,” Muniandy said. “He has turned down a couple of offers and he is pretty keen to keep her and race her himself. “If she does everything right and pulls up well, we will look towards the Warstep in two weeks.” Muniandy will also head to Riccarton on Saturday with Sabots D’or and Unusual Affair, who will both contest the Angus Meats Rating 65 (1600m). “Both of them ran good races down here at Wingatui last start,” Muniandy said. “Unfortunately, there are no mile races down here, so we decided to take them to Christchurch for the mile. “Unusual Affair didn’t get much luck last start, and the other mare gets back and runs on as well. Both of them are good chances, so hopefully they can run a good race for us.” Horse racing news View the full article
    • Why? was trailing the leader (who was the winner) at the half mile , so had every chance 6th.  That winning filly UTAH JAZZ is gunna be very good. Owned by Swayzee's owner Mick Boots !!! what a good man he is and puts horses with about 15 different trainers I believe. deserves a medal.  Kirstin trailed the leader in the last race of the day as well . and run last. think her horses that she's driving are the main problem. weak as water. didn't seem to be her fault.  
    • What Morphettville Races Where Morphettville Racecourse – 79 Morphett Road, Morphettville, SA 5043 When Saturday, April 12, 2025 First Race 12:17pm ACST Visit Dabble Morphettville Racecourse is set to host a competitive nine-race meeting on Saturday, where the Group 3 R N Irwin Stakes (1100m) and Group 3 Auraria Stakes (1800m) headline proceedings. A 32 degree day is forecast for Adelaide for race day, meaning the Good 4 track rating will likely be upgraded to a Good 3 at some point, while the rail comes out 9m from the 1200m to the winning post and out 6m the remainder. The first race at Morphettville is set to jump at 12:17pm ACST. R N Irwin Stakes Tip: Asfoora Asfoora is having her first Australian start since her trip to the UK, and she looks poised to make it a winning return. The six-year-old mare has three wins and two minor placings to her name from six fresh runs, and if she presents anything close to what she did on the international stage, she will take some running down. Barrier three will suit her perfectly, with Mitch Aitkn able to either take up the running or stalk the speed throughout. As long as she settles in the first four, Asfoora should have a bit too much class for her rivals. R N Irwin Stakes Race 7 – #7 Asfoora (3) 6yo Mare | T: Henry Dwyer | J: Mitchell Aitken (56.5kg) Auraria Stakes: Phenom Phenom hardly knows how to run a poor race, and at a $12 quote with horse racing bookmakers, she presents great value in the Auraria Stakes. The three-year-old filly chased home classy types in Cilacap and Too Darn Lizzie at Moonee Valley last time out, and the start prior was too gritty for Athanatos at Sandown. The form reads quite well heading into her first look at 1800m, and considering she will be up on speed throughout, Phenom will take a power of running down if she sees out the trip at the first time of asking. Auraria Stakes Race 8 – #8 Phenom (13) 3yo Filly | T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | J: Rochelle Milnes (55kg) Best Bet at Morphettville: Bakeel Bakeel has been bombproof since arriving from Singapore, having put together three stylish victories when progressing through the grades. The son of Sioux Nation can get the job done from close to the speed or from the second half of the field, and that type of tactical versatility looks crucial for his winning chances on Saturday. Manoel Nunes – who has ridding him 11 times for six wins and four minor placings – will likely have him closer to the rear of the field from barrier 11, but with a bit of speed engaged in this, the race sets upperfectly for Bakeel to blouse his rivals late. Best Bet Race 6 – #8 Bakeel (11) 4yo Gelding | T: Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor | J: Manoel Nunes (54kg) Next Best at Morphettville: Gallant Son Will the real Gallant Son stand up? If he does, the Written Tycoon colt is going to prove far too good for his rivals, especially if he replicates what he put forward at Flemington last time out. The three-year-old ran the classy Kiwi, Alabama Lass, to within a half-length at Flemington on March 29 after sprinting sharply from a midfield position. Zac Spain will have him in a similar position throughout, and when asked for the ultimate effort, Gallant Son has the finishing burst to overhaul the leaders and will prove too hard to hold out. Next Best Race 5 – #2 Gallant Son (7) 3yo Colt | T: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman | J: Zac Spain (56kg) Saturday quaddie tips for Morphettville Morphettville quadrella selections Saturday, April 12, 2025 1-8 1-2-7-8-9 1-7-8-11 1-2-3 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
    • What Ascot races Where Ascot Racecourse – 71 Grandstand Rd, Ascot WA 6104 When Saturday, April 12, 2025 First Race 12:09pm AWST Visit Dabble The Group 3 Roma Cup and Gimcrack Stakes will both headline the nine-race card at Ascot on Saturday afternoon. The track is expected to remain in the Good 4 rating that was posted at the time of acceptances. The rail will be in the +8m position for the entire circuit, with the opening event scheduled to kick off at 12:09pm AWST. Roma Cup tip: Jokers Grin Jokers Grin returned from a 17-week spell with an arrogant victory in the Listed Rock Magic Stakes, where the Bernie Miller-trained gelding burst through a gap late to win by one length. The son of Maschino looked as though he was going to be a hard-luck story before Patrick Carbery pushed him through a gap between the leaders to win with ease. From barrier three, Jokers Grin will settle off the fence, stay out of trouble, and prove too good for his rivals once again. Roma Cup Race 8 – #7 Jokers Grin (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Bernie Miller | J: Patrick Carbery (58.5kg) Gimcrack Stakes tip: Yes Queen Dion Luciani and William Pike will combine with Yes Queen in the Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes, when they will seek to go one better after being beaten in the Listed Supremacy Stakes two weeks ago. The daughter of Yes Yes Yes was heavily backed with horse racing bookmakers, but she overraced in the lead throughout and was run down in the final 100m. Pike will push forward and settle on the speed from barrier 13, and if Yes Queen settles this time, she will bounce back with a win. Gimcrack Stakes Race 7 – #2 Yes Queen (13) 2yo Filly | T: Dion Luciani | J: William Pike (56.5kg) Perth Stakes tip: Do I Feel Lucky Do I Feel Lucky is yet to finish outside the top two in four career starts for Sean & Jake Casey, and the two-year-old gelding just fell in to win the Magic Millions WA 2YO Classic at Pinjarra last start. This son of Dirty Work led every step of the way, but it was clear to everyone that he struggled to see out a strong 1200m, so a drop back to 1100m for this race is ideal. Brad Parnham can hold his spot on the fence from barrier one, and if he can lead at a solid tempo, Do I Feel Lucky can win again. Perth Stakes Race 6 – #1 Do I Feel Lucky (1) 2yo Gelding | T: Sean & Jake Casey | J: Brad Parnham (56.5kg) Best Bet at Ascot: Be Bardot Team Williams and William Pike will be hoping for a little more luck this time around when they combine with Be Bardot, who never saw daylight at this track on March 29. The daughter of Toronado settled behind the speed throughout the 1400m contest, but when Pike wanted to get going on the mare, she was boxed in by a number of horses and was never tested in the final 400m. Drawing barrier 10 should mean Be Bardot will avoid any traffic problems, and with a strong finish over 1600m, she can record her first win of the campaign. Best Bet Race 5 – #7 Be Bardot (10) 4yo Mare | T: Grant & Alana Williams | J: William Pike (56.5kg) Saturday quaddie tips for Ascot races Ascot quadrella selections Saturday, April 12, 2025 1-2-3-6 1-2 2-7 3-4-8-9 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
