Local trainer Robert Dennis won half of the eight-race card at Ascot Park on Friday, culminating with a special win by Sir Sterling in the Vale Tony Dennis (1400m). The $40,000 race was run a month after the passing of Robert Dennis’ father, the multiple Group One-winning horseman Tony Dennis. “It’s been a terrific day – it’s always great to train any winner, so to get four is hugely rewarding,” Robert Dennis said. “Winning the race named for Dad was a nice cherry on top.” Sir Sterling went into Friday’s Rating 75 event on the back of a first-up victory over 1335m at Gore on September 21. Despite rising from 58.5kg to 60.5kg on Friday, he was backed into $4.80 equal favouritism. Ridden by Daniel Bothamley, Sir Sterling settled in second before slowly but surely wearing down the front-running Buoyant and winning by half a head. Third-placed Maximus Augustus finished four and a half lengths behind the first pair. “It’s really satisfying to go back-to-back with Sir Sterling,” Dennis said. “I thought he might need the run at Gore in order to have him ready for today. I didn’t expect him to win so well at Gore. He had more weight today, but he did the job very well again, which was great to see. “We’ll see how he comes through this run today and then have a look at the programmes. He’s up to open grade now, so we’ll try to find some nice open handicaps for him through the coming weeks.” Dennis also played a prominent role in Friday’s two $50,000 open handicaps. The Radiant One resumed with an eye-catching second behind the high-flying Martell in the STAC Weddings Handicap (1200m), and then Stolen Magic drew right away down the straight to win the Olphert Contracting Handicap (1600m) by six and a quarter lengths. Stolen Magic has now had 18 starts for four wins and three placings, with the promise of more to come. “Stolen Magic is really coming of age this time in,” Dennis said. “She’s always shown ability, but has just been a bit physically and mentally immature. She’s starting to become the finished package. “We could look for a race for her during the New Zealand Cup Carnival, but she might be a better horse kept closer to home. My feeling is we’d also be better off targeting races in the autumn, particularly if she continues to improve the way she has been.” Dennis was also pleased to see Azilee Star and Pretty Fly leave maiden ranks earlier on the Ascot Park card. “Azilee Star just continues to improve,” Dennis said. “She’s been thriving since her last-start placing at Gore. She’s a bit of an unassuming filly and still has a bit of maturing to do, but she has plenty of ability and handles rain-affected ground well. “Pretty Fly’s performance was expected first-up today. The break that we gave her has done her the world of good. She’s another one that’s always shown a lot of ability and is really going the right way.” Azilee Star, Pretty Fly and Stolen Magic were all ridden by Donovan Cooper, who completed a winning quartet of his own with victory on the Graham Eade and Brooke Kincaid-trained Orepuki Gem in the Vale Peter Williams (2200m).

Last year's G1 Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes winner Economics, who has been off the track for almost a year, has been given an entry for the G2 Bahrain International Trophy on November 15. The 2025 running of the $1m contest has attracted strong interest from across the globe, with the 68 entries representing seven different territories and including five Group 1 winners. His Highness Shaikh Isa Bin Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa's Economics is joined by White Birch, Tornado Alert, Calif, Sibayan, See The Fire, Wimbledon Hawkeye and Royal Champion among the glittering list of potential runners. Also set to return to Bahrain is Victorious Forever's G2 Hardwicke Stakes winner Isle Of Jura, who enjoyed a notable spell in Bahrain in 2023-24, winning four times, culminating with victory in The King's Cup.

I see your 'mate' Birdcage Bill having a bit of trouble grasping that. I see also the infamous in his own lunchtime, Michael Hawke, has moved on to giving CW a bit of stick for some of the garbage he posts on his FB site. He is deluded to think that many of those famous quotes from very deep-thinking people, actually refer to him and his codswallop............... baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa -

Tamfana, who won the G1 Chariot Stakes a year ago this weekend, is to be offered during the Sceptre Sessions at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale, which begins its four-day run on Monday, December 1. Prior to that, she is set to race in Sunday's G1 Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp. Trained by David Menuisier for Quantum Leap Racing, the four-year-old daughter of former German champion sire Soldier Hollow broke her maiden at two, winning a Kempton maiden by nine and a half lengths before landing the G3 Prix Miesque at Chantilly. Tamfana came within a length of winning the 1,000 Guineas when rallying late to claim fourth place after being hampered in running. She was also fourth against the colts in a high-class renewal of the G1 Grand Prix de Paris over 12 furlongs before dropping back to a mile and beating a top-class Sun Chariot field, which included multiple Group 1 winner Inspiral and Classic winners Nashwa and Elmalka. Tamfana is a daughter of the Zoffany mare Tres Magnifique, whose dam Ticana is a sister to the dual Listed winner and Group 2 runner-up Timos and a half-sister to G1 Beverley D Stakes winner Sea Calisi. Her two-year-old half-sister The Palace Girl sold for 1,550,000gns at the 2024 December Sale, and their dam is currently in foal to Frankel.
