Yeah need more of her. Maybe get her to do the yard comments as well as they're a complete load of rubbish again today. -
That's interesting. Didn't know that. Friday was listening to someone from Freedmans going on about weight not being a concern as rider at home working him weighs a lot more. Thought that be a funny way of looking at it as applies to many horses. My Gladiola was poor.

WELL WRITTEN (M Cartwright) – Was inclined to shift ground under pressure in the straight and shifted outwards abruptly passing the 50 metres having to be corrected by its rider. Returned to the enclosure with blood present in one nostril undergoing a post-race veterinary examination finding this to be due to a small abrasion -

Lyle Hewitson has a strong line-up of rides at Sha Tin on Sunday that includes the progressive Supreme Sea stepping up grade in the Class Three Cornwall Handicap (1,200m) and Packing Angel in the Class Two Devon Handicap (1,800m). The lightly raced Supreme Sea has impressed in his two starts for trainer Mark Newnham, recording a win and a second placing by just half a length to Vulcanus on Sha Tin’s all-weather track. “I think he’s a very good horse. I’m really happy to have got aboard him, he’s...View the full article -

It may have been a lot closer than anticipated, but Well Written’s (Written Tycoon) victory in Saturday’s $4 million NZB Kiwi (1500m) was one for the books. The unbeaten Group One-winning filly was installed a hot favourite in the Southern Hemisphere’s richest three-year-old race, jumping a money back favourite in the Champions Day feature at Ellerslie, with every other runner at double figure odds, headed by Belle Cheval (NZ) (Savabeel) at $17.90. The market proved accurate, with the Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson-trained filly nearly becoming the giant killer, coming to within a short head of Stephen Marsh’s star filly Well Written. Jockey Matt Cartwright gave Well Written the perfect trip in the one-one, presented her beautifully at the turn and she quickly found the lead. Well Written opened up several lengths on her rivals, but Belle Cheval took chase from the back of the pack. Well Written shifted out in the concluding stages and the two went head-to-head, with Well Written getting the bob. Well Written’s connections had to sweat a protest in the inquiry room, but it was dismissed, and she got her win. Cartwright was rapt to get the victory and he was effusive in his praise for Marsh, labelling the Cambridge horseman as an integral part to his success since moving to New Zealand from Australia. “Everything worked out perfect,” he said. “She was travelling that good, I let her go. Probably with the weight (58kg) and being in front for so long, she wandered a bit, but she got the job done still. “She is a very good horse and you didn’t see her best today. “I have got to hand it to Stephen Marsh, he has been the best supporter of me, he is a great trainer and he is a great mate as well.” Marsh admitted that he didn’t know if his filly got the win at the post but he was relieved when he heard her name was called out first over the loudspeaker. “I wasn’t sure, the other horse was coming at us so fast,” he said. “She got to the front easy. She has had six starts as a three-year-old, she is not fully mature and had 58 kilos, I just wonder if all that had a bit of a factor. She floated around a bit when she got to the front.” Marsh said Cartwright gave his filly a perfect ride and he was pleased to reward his supporters with the big win, particularly part-owner Yulong Investments, whose principal Zhang Yuesheng was trackside for the win. “Matt has been great for our stable, he works hard and he is always keen to help us,” Marsh said. “He has gotten on very well with this filly. I thought his ride today was unbelievably good. “All the well wishes that I have had this week has just been overwhelming. I was hoping we weren’t going to let people down, and we won by the barest of margins, but I am just so proud of her and the team, all of our owners, Yulong – Mr Zhang is here today – it has just been amazing. “The ride has been super and I will sleep well for a couple of days after that. It (winning NZB Kiwi) is a feeling you can never explain, and you can’t buy it.” While Australia beckons as an obvious target, Marsh said that test will likely wait until next season. “She is unbelievably good,” he said. “She is a great filly, she has done it all, she has won six on the trot. “She can have a well-deserved spell, she won’t be going to Australia at this stage for the autumn, but she will hopefully go over in the spring.” Marsh was also overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the crowd at Ellerslie and said Champions Day is a phenomenal event for the racing industry. “Looking around at the crowd and the atmosphere, it is just massive,” he said. “It is awesome for New Zealand racing, $8.5 million worth of prizemoney and great horses on display. This is a special day and it is just great to be a part of it and great to take home the big prize.” Bred in Australia by David Digney, Well Written was initially purchased by Harry and Benji King, under the latter’s Foxhill Thoroughbreds banner, as a weanling for A$32,500 and was on sold through Brighthill Farm’s 2024 New Zealand Bloodstock National Online Yearling Sale on Gavelhouse Plus where she was purchased by Marsh and Dylan Johnson Bloodstock for $80,000. She has gone on to win all six of her starts as a three-year-old, including the Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m), $1.5 million Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m), Gr.2 Auckland Guineas (1400m), Gr.2 Soliloquy Stakes (1400m), and represented the TAB’s slot when winning the NZB Kiwi. She now boasts earnings of more than $2.6 million. View the full article
