Yes but only the first 2 delayed subsequent races with the third being an inquiry into the last checking if Mid Ocean got a fair start. It was an open and shut case so to speak. Although I'm sure you'd argue Mid Ocean actually got a length advantage by forcing the gates. -

Moxie (Strasbourg) gave trainer and part-owner Ken Harrison his biggest thrill in racing at Ellerslie last Saturday when recording his first stakes win in the Gr.2 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Classic (1400m), and now he is eager for more. “We are over the moon, it was a great result,” Harrison said. The Cambridge horseman said his four-year-old mare has come through the race in great order and he is now weighing up his options with the daughter of Strasbourg. “She has come through it great,” he said. “We may give her one more start before she goes for a bit of a break until next season. I am mulling it over at the moment.” Harrison is weighing up between the Gr.1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1400m) at Trentham on March 28 and the Gr.3 Manco Easter Handicap (1600m) at Ellerslie next month. While eager to test his mare at elite-level, the location of each race is a key factor for Harrison, with his mare not having ventured out of the northern region before. “She likes Ellerslie and there is one more back there, the Easter Handicap, but we have just got a few things to weigh up and sort out,” he said. “She has never been away from home yet and she knows Ellerslie.” Weight is another factor that has entered calculations, with Moxie’s rating increasing to 96 following her Group Two win. “We have gone up 18 rating points, but we have just got to take that on the chin. That is where she is now so that is what we have got to race against,” Harrison said. “The Group One (Breeders’ Stakes) is weight-for-age, so we know what weight she is going to get there.” While mulling over her final assignment of the season, Harrison took a moment to reflect on her career to date, which now stands at five wins from 11 starts and nearly $500,000 in earnings, and he is rapt that she has fulfilled the promise he saw in her as a yearling at Karaka where he purchased her out of Lyndhurst Farm’s draft for $10,000. “We only paid $10,000 for her so it has worked out quite well,” Harrison said. “I loved the way she was walking and she had a nice temperament. Shelley and Mark (Treweek, Lyndhurst Farm) are very good friends of ours and have always done a good job over the years.” While impressed with Moxie from the very beginning, Harrison said she has taken time to mature and he has taken a patient approach with her, which is now paying dividends. “She has been very good from day one,” he said. “She was a little bit immature at the start and it has just taken time. We missed most of her three-year-old season to let her mature.” While mulling over Moxie’s next steps, Harrison is looking forward to heading to Pukekohe on Friday where five-year-old gelding Tampa (NZ) (Vespa) will make his raceday return following a two-and-a-half-year absence. The five-year-old son of Vespa had three unplaced runs for trainer Clinton Isdale in 2023 and Harrison said the gelding has been given time to mature. “He is only lightly raced and had a couple of years off,” Harrison said. “I think they thought he was a bit immature and put him out on my uncle’s place at the back of Taumarunui. “He has had one trial at Tauranga a couple of weeks ago and went very well, he came third.” View the full article -

At the end of a two-horse war that lasted the length of the Morphettville straight and brought the crowd to their feet, Karaka graduate American Wolf (NZ) (Tivaci) came out on top in Monday’s A$350,000 Group Two Adelaide Cup (3200m). Victorian-based expat New Zealand trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young paid $110,000 to buy American Wolf from Book 1 of Karaka 2023, where he was offered by Waikato Stud. American Wolf has now had 16 starts for three wins, five placings and A$416,585 in stakes. Ridden in Monday’s two-mile feature by Jett Stanley, American Wolf was travelling with ominous ease coming down the side of the track and moved up alongside the leader Highland Bling (Highland Reel) at the home turn. But that rival rose to the challenge. American Wolf and Highland Bling drew more than five lengths clear of the rest of the field down the straight, trading the lead with almost every bob of the head through a hard-fought last 200 metres. Only a nose separated them at the finish line, and it was American Wolf’s nose that got there first. “We told the owners that this was the grand final we were aiming at all the way through the campaign, so to get here and win it is fantastic,” Young said. “Jett rode him a treat. He got the horse to relax nicely, which is what he needed. The distance was never going to be an issue as long as he relaxed and got into his rhythm. “Jett just kept him nice and relaxed. He made a bit of a move at the 800, getting off the fence and ready to pounce three or four out. “I wasn’t sure whether we won it at the line, but it’s fantastic that we did. It’s great for High Calibre Racing and the other owners.” Stanley’s Cup triumph had a brief blip when he was dislodged by American Wolf after the finish line. “The ambos were asking whether I was okay, and I said, ‘Tell me the result of the photo and I’ll tell you,’ and the limp cleared up pretty quickly when one of them said American Wolf had won,” the 21-year-old jockey said. “I said ‘are you joking’ and then the crowd started yelling. It’s something I won’t forget. “This horse is a proper stayer. Hopefully we can see him on the first Tuesday in November (Melbourne Cup).” Completing an outstanding result for Waikato Stud, who bred and sold the winner, the third placegetter in Monday’s Adelaide Cup was the homebred Waikato Stud mare Hurry Curry (NZ) (Ocean Park).

Imo, if anything, the inquiry should have been adjourned, not the race.
