Leading Victorian hopes Warmonger (NZ) (War Decree) and Bold Soul (NZ) (Embellish) drew wide for Saturday’s A$1 million South Australian Derby (2500m) when acceptances dropped on Tuesday morning for the capacity field. Chairman’s Stakes winner Bold Soul has drawn barrier 12 with Jake Noonan in the saddle, while Damian Lane and Warmonger came up with gate 14. Jamie Kah on the in-form Coco Sun (The Autumn Sun) for Team McEvoy has drawn barrier 10, with Craig Williams to her outside aboard the Chris Waller-trained VRC St Ledger winner Ahuru. Lachlan Neindorf will aim for a second Group One victory in a week and has drawn perfectly in barrier five on the progressive A Samurai Mind (Shamus Award). Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr will saddle up three runners with Warmonger (14) to be joined in the field by Shinjuku (NZ) (Tarzino) (two) and Tulsa King (Kermadec) (17) as all three back up from the Chairman’s Stakes. “It’s an usual program with the horses on the seven-day back-up, in the past we’ve won that race with Jungle Magnate and two weeks later come back across to win the Derby, so all the Chairman’s horses are in the same boat,” Kent Jnr explained. “Our horses have all stayed at Chris Beig’s and they have done some water-walker work and going to the beach this week and have pulled up very well.” Kent Jnr identified Warmonger as the stable’s leading fancy, who will have the blinkers removed to help him begin better and run out the extended trip. “I think Warmonger on what they have done is the leady fancy for sure … hoping he gets 2500 metres strongly and he is a top-three chance for sure,” he said. “Tulsa King had a more-economical run but is bred to this trip and I think he’ll stay and Shinjuku probably has to improve a bit to be in the finish but he was in the worst ground on Saturday, so if I could make a case for him that would be it.” Kent Jnr is hopeful barrier 14 will not be a disadvantage for Warmonger given how the track played last week and Vibrant Sun’s (The Autumn Sun) Australian Oaks win from barrier 11. “The rail has only gone out two metres, so if they are coming to the same section as seven days ago you would have to think middle-to-outside barriers,” he said. “On Saturday, Vibrant Sun’s barrier as the day went on all of a sudden became alright and wide barriers were favored.” Dunkel (NZ) (Dundeel) won the South Australian Derby in 2023.

Last weekend, the first of three-days at the Adelaide Racing Carnival took place as Morphettville hosted Australasian Oaks & Robert Sangster Stakes Day, while Eagle Farm hosted a strong meeting that included three feature races. In this week’s edition of The Follow Files, we have found three runners that are worth putting in your blackbook, so that you can follow them at their upcoming starts. Morphettville Track rating: Good 4 Rail position: True entire circuit Race 6: Group 3 John Hawkes Stakes (1200m) | Time: 1:04.57 Horse to follow: What You Need (3rd) After having 12 months off the racetrack, What You Need has turned in two strong performances to begin this preparation. Last Saturday, this son of Supido ran home strongly into third place behind Extremely Lucky in the Group 3 John Hawkes Stakes over 1100m, and he appears ready to win third-up over 1200m. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained entire settled midfield and was slightly held up on the home turn before bursting through a gap late to nab a placing. When to bet: The stable has made it clear that What You Need will go to The Goodwood on the final day of the carnival, and if he can produce a similar effort in his maiden Group 1 attempt, he could surprise at good odds. Race 6: Group 2 Queen Of The South Stakes (1600m) | Time: 1:38.81 Horse to follow: Silent Surrente (3rd) Silent Surrente produced a nice trial for a third-up attempt at 2000m by running on well from midfield to finish third in the Group 2 Queen Of The South Stakes behind Seonee and Lady Jones. The Will Clarken & Niki O’Shea-trained mare has finished third at both of her starts this time in, and stepping up to 2000m third-up appears to be the recipe for success. This daughter of Fiorente was finishing as strong as any of her rivals in the final 100m, and she will meet some of them again next start. When to bet: The Listed Dominant Centaurea Stakes over 2000m on the final day of the carnival looks to be the ideal race for Silent Surrente next. If she can draw an inside barrier and settle close to the speed, she will prove very hard to beat. Eagle Farm Track rating: Soft 5 Rail position: +3m entire circuit Race 8: Listed Mick Dittman Plate (1000m) | Time: 0:57.74 Horse to follow: Abounding (5th) Magic Millions 3YO Guineas winner, Abounding, returned to the races with a passable fifth place finish, beaten 1.36 lengths by Tiger Shark in the Mick Dittman Plate over 1000m, which was well short of her best. The Robert Heathcote-trained filly received no luck as she was made to travel three-wide for the entire trip before battling on well late. A rise in trip to 1200m second-up looks to be on the cards for the daughter of Rich Enuff, who will be seeking to make a big splash during the Queensland Racing Carnival. When to bet: It is expected that Heathcote will take Abounding to the Sunshine Coast second-up over 1200m in the Group 3 Gold Coast Guineas. If she can replicate her win in the Listed Gold Edition Plate second-up last campaign, she will be one of the key chances on May 11.

Thus me thinking short term it's a good thing. It must cost a fair coin to send dogs overseas. That why I made the suggestion that GRNZ could fund vet care for the life of a greyhound rehomed by them or their agents in a successful NZ adoption. In most case I'd expect the cost incurred for future vet bill would be less than flying them overseas, and also spreads the expenditure over a much longer period. This would make adopting one or two of them a far more attractive for any kiwi looking for a dog. -
