    • What Pakenham Races Where Southside Racing Pakenham – 420 Nar Nar Goon – Longwarry Rd, Tynong VIC 3810 When Friday, August 29, 2025 First Race 4:45pm AEST Visit Dabble The synthetic surface at Pakenham is the destination for a competitive eight-race program on Friday evening. A stack of rain is forecast for the south-east on race day, meaning being up on speed could be beneficial to avoid kickback throughout the journey. The first event is set to jump at 4:45pm AEST. Best Bet at Pakenham: Leaving Las Vegas Leaving Las Vegas keeps knocking and gets another very winnable maiden. The Pierro gelding has rattled off a stack of seconds this prep (Geelong 1230m, Sandown 1300m, Bendigo 1600m) and now drops back to 1200m on a track that should reward his on-speed pattern. Visors went on in mid-prep and he’s been marching the right way since; from barrier six, Lachlan Neindorf can camp handily behind the leaders and control the race. If he reproduces his recent closing splits, this looks like the right setup to shed the maiden tag. Best Bet Race 3 – #4 Leaving Las Vegas (6) 4yo Gelding | T: Phillip Stokes | J: Lachlan Neindorf (59.5kg) Best Value at Pakenham: Saveadateforme Saveadateforme is a proper synthetic stayer who looks too good for his rivals in the closer. The Savabeel gelding boasts a superb record at Pakenham over this trip (7:2-4-1), including a dominant BM58 win in June and a narrow second in a BM64 on July 14. Forgive the Sandown run last time (turf), and focus on the all-weather figures: he settles midfield, rolls into the race from the 600m, and keeps finding. From gate three Ben Allen gets every chance to hold a spot and launch late. Best Value Race 8 – #2 Saveadateforme (3) 6yo Gelding | T: Charlotte Littlefield | J: Ben Allen (57.5kg) Best Value at Pakenham: Super Solar Super Solar is absolutely airborne on this surface and maps for another sweet run at the mile. The veteran was a BM64 winner here two starts back before boxing on for third on August 18 behind Zeshadow and stablemate Austrata, and he now draws to stalk the speed from gate five. Jamie Mott knows the horse inside out, and the 10-time winner’s track/distance body of work screams “trust” on the Pakenham poly. With genuine tempo from Nic’s Choice and Both Sides Now, expect Super Solar to peel, build, and prove too strong late over his pet trip.

    • The big guns are coming. Nominations for the IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup and the Renwick Farms Dominion Trot closed at 3pm (NZT) today.  There are a total of 34 nominations for the New Zealand Cup and 41 for the Dominion – both Group 1s will be held at Addington Raceway on Tuesday, November 11. Headlining the nominations for the Cup are the two gun Australians, Leap To Fame and two-time champion Swayzee while another feature of the final nominations are the four Lee-trained runners from Victoria including trotting superstar Keayang Zahara. The Grant Dixon-trained and driven Leap To Fame is Australasian harness racing’s undoubted star with 56 career victories and over $4.6m in stakes earnings. The New Zealand Cup is about the only big race he hasn’t won. His one and only previous appearance in this country was a record-breaking victory in the $1m The Race by betcha at Cambridge in April. He is a commanding $1.60 favourite. His half brother Swayzee ($4.60) meanwhile is vying for a slice of Cup history. If successful he will be just the fourth horse ever to win three New Zealand Cups in a row, emulating Indianapolis, False Step and Terror To Love. Both are guaranteed a start in the Cup – Swayzee as defending champion and Leap To Fame after his Inter Dominion triumph this year. Two ex-Kiwis, (Gee) Heza Sport and Minstrel who are trained by Greg and Skye Bond in Western Australia, have also been nominated. The top Kiwis in the mix include Merlin, Republican Party and Mo’unga as well as Don’t Stop Dreaming and Akuta, who have finished second to Swayzee in the past two years. Mo’unga sealed a start in the Cup by winning last week’s Maurice Holmes Vase at Addington. Joining the impressive Keayang Zahara in the Dominion will be stablemates Keayang Chucky (20 wins from 53 starts) and Jilliby Ballerini, who’s won seven from 19. 2025 TAB Trot winner at Cambridge, Arcee Phoenix is also nominated. He is a $3.60 second favourite behind big Kiwi hope Bet N Win ($3.50). Both are guaranteed a start in the Dominion if nominated – Arcee Phoenix for his Inter Dominion win and Bet N Win after taking out the Rowe Cup. He leads a strong Kiwi contingent that includes Oscar Bonavena, Muscle Mountain and last year’s Dominion runner-up Mighty Logan. The nominations for both the Cup and the Dominion opened on August 11. The initial rankings for both will be made available on Thursday, September 4 and updated weekly.

    • What San Domenico Stakes Day 2025 Where Rosehill Gardens Racecourse – James Ruse Dr, Rosehill NSW 2142 When Saturday, August 30, 2025 First Race 11:45am AEST Visit Dabble Feature racing returns to Rosehill this Saturday, with the Group 3 San Domenico Stakes (1100m) and Group 3 Up And Coming Stakes (1300m) sharing top billing on a bumper 10-race program. The rail moves out +3m for the entire circuit, and with the forecast ensuring a reprieve from the heavy rainfall that has drenched Sydney in recent weeks, the surface should be upgraded into the Good 4 range come race-day morning. The action for 2025 San Domenico Stakes Day is set to get underway at 11:45am AEST. San Domenico Stakes Tip: Wodeton Although Wodeton failed to claim Group 1 success in his two-year-old season, the Chris Waller-trained colt appears primed to make amends at some stage this preparation. The 2025 San Domenico Stakes is the perfect stepping stone for the son of Wootton Bassett, and he looks set to fire first-up on the back of three eye-catching barrier trials. James McDonald will attempt to slot into the one-one from barrier two, and while Raging Force has a fitness edge, Wodeton has the class to topple the favourite with horse racing bookmakers. San Domenico Stakes Race 8 – #5 Wodeton (2) 3yo Colt | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (55kg) Up And Coming Stakes Tip: Providence There is a lot to like about Providence as he returns from a short spell. The Wootton Bassett colt was far from disgraced in the Group 1 J.J. Atkins at Eagle Farm on June 14 last time out, finishing fourth of 16 and making good late inroads despite a checkered passage. He should still have strong residual fitness after a tick-over trial at Canterbury, and with ‘J-Mac’ set to have Providence in the ideal stalking position from stall five, this guy should get every chance to claim the 2025 Up And Coming Stakes. Up And Coming Stakes Race 6 – #2 Providence (5) 3yo Colt | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (56.5kg) Best Bet at Rosehill: Tazima Tazima could not have been more impressive in his win at Randwick’s Kensington circuit on August 13, settling last in the run before exploding to the top with 150m left to travel. Stretching out to 2000m for the first time since arriving to Australia should be no issue for the European import, and with Tommy Berry set to smoke the pipe somewhere mid-field with cover, watch for Tazima to burst clear when asked for the ultimate effort. Best Bet Race 5 – #11 Tazima (2) 4yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Tommy Berry (57kg) Next Best at Rosehill: Nkosi The Bjorn Baker-trained Nkosi was a dominant four-length winner at Wyong on Australian debut and looks well placed rising into BM78 company. He drops 5.5kg for that front-running effort and appears to get similar favours in this small field of 10, with the Shamus Award gelding likely to roll to the lead without much feuding in the early stages. It should allow Dylan Gibbons to tick-over a soft sectional prior to the run home, and provided there are no mid-race moves, watch for Nkosi to give a strong kick at the top of the straight. Next Best Race 4 – #9 Nkosi (2) 4yo Gelding | T: Bjorn Baker | J: Dylan Gibbons (55.5kg) Best Value at Rosehill: Mchale Although Mchale has spent 329 days off the scene, his recent form reads exceptionally well for this BM100. The son of Shooting To Win boasts a terrific first-up record of four starts for three wins, with one of those an outstanding victory in the Group 3 Bill Ritchie Stakes (1400m) to kick off his last campaign. He may be slightly underdone coming into this off one barrier trial; however, with an element of class amongst a field stacked with staying types, Mchale looks a big price at $12 with PlayUp. Best Value Race 9 – #7 Mchale (7) 5yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (59.5kg) Saturday quaddie tips for Rosehill Rosehill quadrella selections Saturday, August 30, 2025 3-6-10 2-5 1-3-4-5-7-9-13-15 2-3-6-7-10-15-16 Horse racing tips View the full article
    • They can’t be missing out on much turn over while the Broadster is overseas as he is so heavily restricted and can’t get a decent amount on.
