Haha…. No thought do some fundraising to upgrade toilets…. never been changed since i started going early 80s -

Thought same, Jeanie more of a sit and sprint type, i was surprised to see her pour the pace on, connections were pretty confident it would go close, odds dropped to $8.50 to $6 start time. As you say, good run considering pace set, i think being with the Dunns has suited her, last win was good. Mind you, i suppose if Dunn had slowed up he would have found himself deep along the rails with several lead changes…. funny how it was only leader really to fold on day, only leader i backed 🤣

By Adam Hamilton Top Aussie trainer Jess Tubbs is looking forward to unexpectedly early return to New Zealand. It will be an emotional return for Tubbs, who will do it alone this year, instead of sharing the load with her husband Greg Sugars, who tragically died in his sleep in April. Together they had one of their biggest thrills in the game when former champion trotter Just Believe won the Group 1 Dominion at Addington last November. They campaigned former Auckland Cup winner Better Eclipse and then three-year-old Hes From Heaven in NZ at the same time. Hes From Heaven finished fifth in the inaugural $500,000 Velocity slot race at Addington on November 15. “I didn’t think I’d be going back so soon, but along comes Tracy The Jet and changed all that,” Tubbs said. Tracy The Jet is a three-year-old trotting filly with 10 starts netting five wins and a second. She will be a starter in the Majestic Horsefloats ASCENT at Addington Raceway on Show day, November 14 along with fellow Aussie trotter Gatesys Gem. The $500,000 slot race has attracted a capacity 10 slot-holders, as has the pacing equivalent THE VELOCITY. Tracy The Jet won her first two starts of 2025 before a terrific second to Gatesys Gem in the Group 1 NSW Trotters’ Oaks at Menangle on May 10. She’s since won all three starts back at Melton, including feature victories in The Holmfield (August 16) and last Saturday’s $125,000 Nutrien Sales final. She’s gone to a new level and packs lethal early gate speed. “(Owner) Dom (Martello) was keen to tackle NZ and bought a slot in the Ascent for her to run in, so that’s the target,” Tubbs said. “Races like this don’t come along too often, so we’ve got to have a shot at it.” It means sacrificing a tilt at Tracy The Jet’s another obvious big Aussie target, the Vicbred series at Melton. “The Vicbred heat is on the same day as The Ascent, so it’s out,” Tubbs said. “The Vicbred final is only worth $60,000, so it’s worth changing course.” Gatesys Gem, who beat Tracy The Jet in the NSW Oaks and then upstaged the boys in the Group 1 NSW Trotters’ Derby, has been secured in THE ASCENT by Aussie trotting giant Duncan McPherson of Aldebaran Park and Yabby Dams’ Pat Driscoll. Gatesys Gem hasn’t raced since that May 17 win in the NSW Derby. She boasts eight wins and three seconds from just 12 starts. The daughter of Aldebaran Eagle looked sharp winning a Geelong trial last Monday night, beating other high-class three-year-olds Watts Up The Hill and Commodus. Tracy The Jet and Gatesys Gem have big hoofprints to follow after the freakish Victorian Keayang Zahara thrashed her Kiwi rivals in last year’s inaugural Ascent. View the full article -

In his first year as a Blue September ambassador, Harrison Orange has been a standout performer during week three of the campaign. The 18-year-old secured a win at Cambridge on Thursday night (Conrad H), two at Auckland on Friday night (Two Jules and Sooner The Bettor) and then a fourth win in as many days with his victory in the Junior Drivers’ race at Motukarara yesterday (Scarlett’s Legacy). He has now five for the month making him fourth overall of the 11 ambassadors/drivers involved. Father Blair Orange, the country’s leading driver, had another two wins at Addington on Friday night to take his total to nine. That’s equal top with John Dunn, who continued his great run of late with another four wins at Addington on Friday. Matty Williamson is third, on six wins. The two Blue September Invited Drivers’ race at Motukarara yesterday were won by Sam Thornley (Prince Teka) and Tony Cameron (Swift Guy) while Jonny Cox had his first win for Blue September with Ideal Conqueror, who he also trains. From Thursday to Sunday the first Big Blue Drive was held. It is a concentrated campaign to encourage everyone to donate money to the cause. With a week to go, $28,532.20 has been raised for the New Zealand Prostate Cancer Foundation so far. There have been 40 wins in total, with money raised every time a Blue September driver wins during the month with funds raised through their own individual sponsors. There are also contributions from clubs and HRNZ ($100 per win). Among the highlights over the weekend was the annual Blue Bolt. It pitted all the ambassadors against each in a 100 metre sprint down the home straight at Motukarara. As always it was full of hijinks and only some of the field playing by the rules! To see the Blue Bolt click here There are just five meetings left : Cambridge (Thursday), Auckland and Addington on Friday and then Timaru and Gore on Sunday. For those wanting to donate click here View the full article
