Might pay to follow the horse December which had a ding dong with First Five last season. -
The state or condition of being substandard! The fact remains that the standing starts have been substandard mostly for years! Punters are being misled or misrepresented by HRNZ by calling them standing starts when mostly they are far from that! Yes some horses stand and others are charging or moving it is just a bag of licorice allsorts as to what you get! Surely it isn't that hard? -

Six-year-old mare Precious Charm showed her trademark grit to overcome a firm Geelong track and a quick back-up, scoring her ninth career win in a thrilling A$200,000 Coastal Classic (1700m) at Geelong on Saturday. Jockey Harry Coffey said the firm nature of the track was a factor as the daughter of Per Incanto only narrowly defeated Verdad and Reset The Jazz. “She might have been feeling that firm ground on the back-up, so it took a lot of urging to get her to win, but she may have been looking after herself,” Coffey said. “That’s understandable, she’s done a great job, she’s been racing in true heart and this track’s starting to get firm now and I don’t know if that’s right in her wheelhouse.” In a driving finish, Precious Charm edged out Verdad, who posted his ninth second placing, while front-runner Reset The Jazz stuck on gamely for third. Holymanz, winner of the previous Coastal Classic editions, loomed as a threat turning for home but failed to finish off. Wilde had returned to Warrnambool after Darkbonee’s win, leaving stable manager Ben Casanelia to reflect on the mare’s outstanding campaign. “Even the run last week in the Lord Stakes had some merit. She never had a lot of luck and Jamie was kind to her in the end and Symon said we’ll roll the dice a little bit backing her up and the glass half full coming into today was that she was probably as good as any of these,” Casanelia said. “She had no weight and she was drawn well. She is in form and the negatives were probably the harder track and the back-up. You’re never quite sure how mares will back up. “She put it together and Harry rode her an absolute treat.” With three wins from her past five starts, Precious Charm continues to reward her connections for their patience and looks primed for more summer success, with her career earnings already surpassing A$430,000. Bred by Olly and Annabel Tuthill’s Beaufort Downs, Precious Charm is by Little Avondale Stud’s high-class stallion Per Incanto out of the High Chaparral mare Highly Valued, herself a daughter of a stakes-placed sister to Showcasing. The well-related filly was purchased from the Rangiora nursery for $80,000 at the 2021 New Zealand Bloodstock Book 1 Yearling Sale by Wilde Racing in conjunction with John White Bloodstock and Dave Mee’s Pinhook Bloodstock.

Promising two-year-old Warwoven has stamped himself as the horse to beat in the A$3 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m) as the son of Cambridge Stud stallion Sword Of State remained unbeaten in two starts with a facile victory at Eagle Farm on Saturday. Carrying 59kg topweight, the Bjorn Baker-trained youngster relaxed beautifully behind the speed and accelerated when a gap presented at the top of the straight for rider Rachel King to score by just over three lengths from runner-up Lumbini. “It’s always great to win and it’s not so much about today, it’s just about having a good hit-out in terms of two weeks and getting to the Magic Millions,” Baker said. “The one thing he did do today which I was very happy with, he paraded beautifully. He was lovely and relaxed and if you didn’t like him pre-race, after his parade, you would have had to. “I’ve been lucky enough to have won the Magic Millions twice before, where they’ve had great attitudes and he’s definitely got that and it just carries you so far, particularly in a high pressure race, at a high pressure time of the year. “It’s very exciting, we’ve got a lot of very important clients in this horse including the Cunningham family, my great mate Keith Ferrel amongst others and of course a great purchase by Jim Clark. The colt was sourced by Baker’s bloodstock agent Jim Clarke at the Gold Coast Yearling Sale where he was offered by breeder Kia Ora Stud and knocked down for A$380,000. Warwoven, who is now $2.20 favourite for the Magic Millions, is the first foal of the Makfi mare Needle And Thread, who was the winner of the Gr.2 Royal Stakes (2000m) and placed at Group Two level in the Sir Tristram Fillies’ Classic and Eight Carat Classic. First season sire Sword Of State has enjoyed a terrific start to his stud career., with just the two runners in Australia to this point, the other being stakes winner Torture. That Lindsay Park-trained juvenile won the Listed Debutant Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield in October and closed well for fourth in the Geelong Diamond (1100m) on Saturday in a prep run for the Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m). Sword Of State also sired the quinella in a two-year-old race at Te Aroha on Saturday, where State The Obvious defeated Imperial Rose. A Group One winning son of Snitzel, Sword Of State is well represented at January’s Karaka Yearling Sales, with a total of 50 yearlings by the emerging young sire catalogued across Book 1 (21), Book 2 (25) and the Summer Sale (4).
