If it wasn't for the fact that horses and racing and the people involved have given me and my family a life time of enjoyment, I wouldn't be bothered. However, that's what drives me to continue making informed critical comment where I can, and interacting at all levels of the game to encourage positive change which will keep the game around for future generations to enjoy. Had it not been for Peters' taxpayer bailout and the subsequent Entain deal, it might well be gone already, at least as we knew and know it, and we'd be having a very different conversation here. The creeping loss of transparency wrt key metrics, data and reports is certainly not inspiring my confidence that won't happen anyway by the time the Entain guarantee period ends. -

Talented galloper Name Dropper notched his third victory from seven career starts when leading throughout to land the Stud and Stable Staff Awards (1400m) at Flemington on Saturday. The late-blooming son of Tavistock was perfectly rated by Blaike McDougall and comfortably held placegetters My Brothers Keeper and Impending Link. The Richard Laming-trained gelding was fourth emergency but was supported into $15, with Name Dropper unusually carrying the number 20 saddlecloth to victory at headquarters. Name Dropper was a well-backed Eagle Farm winner on debut in August 2023 and was sent for a lengthy spell before reappearing as a Sandown winner last winter and was around the mark through his last campaign but failed to stay when stretched in distance. “He is obviously a pretty nice horse,” McDougall said. “He proved that last preparation. “I thought we would be outside the leader or one-one, but when we found our way to the front, it was game over. “I was able to dictate and being first-up I had a good few cheap sectionals. It was pretty much a four and two in the end (working gallop over four furlongs and gallop home two furlongs). “Richard was confident today and autumn is around the corner and I am sure he has got a plan for him. He feels like a pretty progressive horse. “I don’t know if he is going to be a stayer. I saw that he got out to a trip (2040m) at the end of last preparation. “He feels more like a 1400m horse or a miler. He is going to have a fitness edge on a lot of these horses come the autumn. So if they plan right, they might be able to get a little bit of black-type with him.” Bred by Gene Tsoi’s Standard 2080 Ltd, Name Dropper is by the late Tavistock out of the O’Reilly mare Mandy O’Reilly, whose three winners from four foals to race include the Group Three-placed Miss Mandito. Mandy O’Reilly is a half-sister to the stakes performers and black-type producers Dating and Miracle Miss. View the full article -

It wasn’t pretty but talented four-year-old Bullets High scored a narrow victory in the De Bortoli Wines Benchmark 88 Handicap (2100m) at Wyong on Saturday as he repaid the faith of his many supporters. Having placed in four of his previous five starts, the Joe Pride-trained gelding was sent out the $3.20 favourite for Saturday’s contest. Jockey Alysha Collett elected to use petrol early and push forward on the son of Ace High after beginning well and despite looking under pressure entering the home straight, fought on gamely to defeat Unlimited by a nose. “He has been a very consistent horse and I don’t think there has been any lack of effort from him but maybe a bit of a lack of race-craft,” Pride said. “He is pretty dumb but he is getting it together. He loves Warwick Farm and it has been the plan all preparation to get him to the Australia Day Cup (Listed, 2400m) there and that is where we will head next. “He was tenacious. He paraded really well today and there wasn’t a drop of sweat on him, he’s rock hard and fit, and Alysha did the rest.” Winning rider Alysha Collett had done her pre-race homework and got the best out of Bullets High. “I kept going through his replays and all I could think is he just keeps running,” Collett said. “So when I got caught wide I did have to use him, but when I was able to get there he switched off completely and that is a massive asset to him. “We started going through our gears at the 600m and it was actually tough. I liked the way they kept getting to him and he kept giving me a little bit more and it took me half an hour to pull him up. “I think he is going to get further and he is going to keep improving.” Bullets High is a son of promising Rich Hill Stud stallion Ace High out of the three-win Iffraaj mare Sororia. The winner of four of his 15 starts with a further six placings, Bullets High advanced his career earnings to A$320,910. He was purchased by Avo Damirdjian’s Tried And True Bloodstock for $60,000 from the Book 2 session of the 2022 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale from the draft of Haunui Farm.

Talented Kiwi-bred galloper Grand Impact was back in the winner’s circle after an all-the-way victory in the Domeland Benchmark 100 Handicap (1350m) at the Wyong standalone meeting on Saturday. Ridden by Winona Costin, Grand Impact had a relatively soft lead and kicked well off the bend to deny Coastwatch by three-quarters of a length, with Strait Acer third. Prepared by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr, connections of Grand Impact were rewarded for their patience with the now five-year-old, having last saluted in the Gr.3 Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m) in October 2022. Grand Impact looked to be one of Melbourne’s better three-year-olds after he won his first three starts, including the Blue Sapphire prior to finishing 12th in the Gr.1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) behind In Secret. Preparing for a return the following autumn, Grand Impact was continually plagued by soreness and eventually an OCD (osteochondritis dissecans) in a shoulder was identified as the issue, where a lesion of cartilage flakes off. That resulted in Grand Impact having 16 months away from racing before a sub-par preparation last Autumn. The decision was made to geld Grand Impact and solid performances have ensued before Saturday’s all-the-way win. “It was never in doubt,” stable representative Tim Suttie said. “She jumped cleanly, stacked them up and kicked on the bend. “Michael Kent said he was in great order so sent him up well. He’s flying.” Grand Impact was given the perfect run by Costin and carried the luxury weight of 52kgs. “He gave such a great kick,” Costin said. “I didn’t get stuck right into him. It was quite soft. “It was great to get a ride for Mick and Michael and a win, it was very important for me.” Price and Kent Jnr have recently opened a Rosehill to have a greater Sydney presence. Bred by Ross and Corrine Kearney’s Okaharau Station, Grand Impact is by outstanding young Rich Hill Stud stallion Satono Aladdin out of the Swiss Ace mare Serena Slam. Grand Impact was initially trained in New Zealand by Stephanie Tierney for whom he had two trials, winning over 800m at Ellerslie before his sale to Australia. Satono Aladdin is well represented at the forthcoming New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sales with 57 yearlings across Book 1 (Jan 26-28) and Book 2 (Jan 29-30). View the full article
