What Stawell Cup Day 2025 Where Stawell Racecourse – Black Range Rd, Stawell VIC 3380 When Sunday, April 20, 2025 First Race 1pm AEST Visit Dabble Country Cup racing heads in Victoria heads to Stawell on Sunday afternoon, where the $70,000 Stawell Cup (2000m) headlines proceedings. Showers are forecast later in the day, meaning it is likely the Good 4 track rating will hold for most of the card, before likely deteriorating late in the day. The rail will be in its true position, with Stawell Cup Day 2025 set to commence at 1pm AEST. Stawell Cup Tip: Fortune Outside of a poor showing in the Yarra Valley Cup two runs back, the Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald-trained Fortune has been racing competitively, albeit without winning. The son of De Treville was beaten a half-length at Caulfield last time outwhen overhauled in the shadows of the winning post. Will Price will look to find cover midfield from the wide barrier, and with the right run in transit, Fortune should have no issue in overhauling his rivals in the 2025 Stawell Cup. Stawell Cup Race 7 – #9 Fortune (14) 5yo Gelding | T: Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald | J: Will Price (54kg) Best Bet at Stawell: Gin Baba Gin Baba is a frustrating punting conveyance, winning once in her last six starts, but finishing second in all five remaining events. The four-year-old mare simply does not know how to run a poor race and looks to be the runner with most upside in the Stawell finale. From barrier three, Declan Bates will have the Invincible Spirit filly stalking the speed throughout, and barring any bad luck, Gin Baba should be too good this time around. Best Bet Race 8 – #9 Gin Baba (3) 4yo Mare | T: Archie Alexander | J: Declan Bates (56kg) Next Best at Stawell: Sweltering Sweltering is another who loves to finish second, having done so in four of her previous five starts, but she will never get a better opportunity to break her maiden than on Sunday. The Too Darn Hot filly missed by the barest of margins at Terang in a driving finish over 1850m, and despite stepping back to the 1600m, she just looks to good for her rivals on paper. John Allen will look to slot in midfield with cover, and when asked to quicken, Sweltering should be justifying her short quote with horse racing bookmakers. Next Best Race 3 – #12 Sweltering (9) 3yo Filly | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: John Allen (57kg) Sunday quaddie tips for Stawell Stawell quadrella selections Sunday, April 20, 2025 2-4-8-9 1-3-5-8-10 5-8-9-15 9 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -
Well how about that. The charge against c negus was dismissed. This is a forum where we give opinions. Well in my opinion,that decision is as farcical as the race. The moral of the story for me,is never ever bet on amateur races again. Personally i think i've probably bet on 95% of amateur races ever run.Well that will never happen again,i promise you. So heres the reality. They gave c negus a lengthy holiday about a year ago when she was trying her best,because they say she persevered for the lead too long. Now,when any fool could see in this weeks race,she should have made an earlier move to take up a handier position on a snails pace. Turns out thats an acceptable drive.. Try too hard and your suspended,don't try and your not.(same driver each time). What an upside down world those that made those deciosns live in. -

Huey - TBH - that's the impression I got too - that she checked her (usually) forthright self & appeared to insert the filter before the words escaped! But I was interested in what others here had to say - and didn't want to be unfair - so reluctant to put a spin on it that may in fact not have existed. As for your comment Curious - I know what you mean. I've the impression there's not a lot of bulls##t about the woman - strikes me as a hard worker & genuine and I like that about her. Respect, KH.

Mazu winning the 2025 Group 3 Hall Mark Stakes. (Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au) The Joseph Pride-trained pair of Mazu ($4.40) and Coal Crusher ($9.50) have fought out the finish in the Group 3 Hall Mark Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon, with the former getting the upper hand in the concluding stages to secure his ninth career win. The son of Maurice appeared set to peak fourth-up into the campaign after tackling the Group 3 Star Kingdom Stakes (1200m) last time out, where the six-year-old was overhauled by General Salute. Mazu was getting a big swing in the weights against some key rivals, including the Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald-trained Ostraka () who looked to dictate throughout under Jason Collett. Coal Crusher sat to his outside the entire journey and looked to be travelling well throughout, while Mazu and Givemethebeatboys () were poised to strike settling behind the leading pair. Jamie Melham was quick to put the race to bed as she loomed to the front at the furlong pole, and although the stable companion was in the fight, Mazu got the better of Coal Crusher in the shadows of the post. Click here for all Randwick replays. Joe Pride was on track and couldn’t have been happier with the performance as he spoke post-race. “It was a funny run race in the end,” said Pride. “He was coming up underneath them. Ostraka didn’t seem to want to cross and that kept Coal Crusher in an awkward position. He ran bravely as well. It was a good run and Dragonstone had things against him coming from back in the field. “Jamie (Melham) seems to have a real affinity with this horse and we’ll see if we can get her on for something in Queensland. “There isn’t so much a plan (in Brisbane) but he’s a weight-for-age winner, he’s a Doomben 10,000 winner. The sprinters probably aren’t at that elite level this year so we’ll probably freshen him up and give him a couple of targets in Brisbane.” Jamie Melham picked up her first win of the carnival as she spoke to media post-race. “I love this horse,” said Melham. “He’s a horse that you can’t tell what to do, you’ve got to ask him. It is up to him if he wants to produce his best on the day and everything was perfect in the run for him, I thought, because he likes being covered up and having that last crack at them. “If he gets to the front too far (soon) sometimes he overthinks it. It was perfect for him and you have to ask him nicely. If he wants to produce, he’ll produce. “Today he decided to bring his best.” Mazu is currently a $15 chance with horse racing bookmakers for the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m) on May 17.
