    • Dominic Sutton has Feroce (NZ) (Super Seth) set for an Australian Guineas tilt and the up-and-coming trainer is hopeful Detroit City can join the Caulfield Guineas runner-up in the Group One feature at Flemington on Saturday. Feroce will be aiming to go one better in Saturday’s Australian Guineas than his narrow defeat in the Caulfield Guineas last spring, while stablemate Detroit City is 19th in the ballot order with a field limit of 16 plus four emergencies. Acceptances for the Australian Guineas are taken on Wednesday. “We’ll accept with both,” Sutton said on Tuesday. “Detroit City will be touch and go whether he makes the field, he’s probably likely going to be an emergency, but the plan is to try to run both of them.” Feroce went close to giving Sutton his first Group Ome when he charged late only to be narrowly beaten by Private Life in the Caulfield Guineas last October. The three-year-old made his return this campaign in the Gr.3 C.S. Hayes Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on February 15, finishing third behind Sepals and Ndola in a run which pleased Sutton. “He didn’t handle the Soft track that day and got beaten by two horses with race fitness on the day,” Sutton said. “I think it was a really good prep run ahead of stepping up to the mile. I think seven furlongs is as short as he wants it now, so he’s really starting to show that he wants a mile-plus.” Sutton believes Feroce has come back as well as he was in the spring and also believes he will stretch out further in distance this campaign. “I think he’s probably looking for a little bit further now in distance,” he said. “He’s starting to shape and look more like a 2000-metre horse, but in saying that he wasn’t far away over seven furlongs and he has shown he is good at the mile. “He’s as good as he was heading into the Caulfield Guineas in the spring.” Detroit City finished fourth in the Autumn Stakes at Caulfield first-up this campaign, which was won by Australian Guineas favourite Angel Capital, and Sutton is also not discounting his hopes if he sneaks into the field. “We wanted to ride him a little bit quieter than that, being first-up,” Sutton said of Detroit City’s Autumn Stakes run. “He had a really long break, he was first-up and rode the speed and got a bit tired late. “He’ll really appreciate stepping up to a mile, he’ll enjoy Flemington, the blinkers go back on and if he gets a run, I think he definitely shouldn’t be forgotten about. “Feroce is obviously the classier horse, probably, on paper. “They are quite similar in type, they’re both horses I think will get over 10 furlongs (2000m) this time around. “It looks like we’re going to get a dry track, which is good. “You’d have Feroce ahead of Detroit City, but Detroit is a real tough horse and his work on Monday was excellent, so I think if he gets a run, he’ll give the race a shake as well.” Sutton saddled up his first runner as a trainer just under a year ago and Saturday shapes as another important day in his young training career to date. “Even just to have horses good enough to run in these races is a pretty hard thing to do, so to have potentially two is pretty exciting,” Sutton said. “They are only three once and when they do turn four it gets a lot harder. They both will be live chances in the race if Detroit (City) gets a run as well. “It’s big for us being so early on in our career but it’s what we’re striving to do, to race these good horses in these good races.” View the full article
    • Savaglee (NZ) (Savabeel) might be the mystery horse for some in Australia in the lead-in to Saturday’s Gr.1 Australian Guineas, but not so for Flemington-based trainer Mike Moroney. The budding Kiwi star was initially to come to Moroney to train in 2025, but after his illness midway through last year, Moroney had to relinquish his New Zealand training partnership with Savaglee’s conditioner Pam Gerard at Matamata so as to be able to take on training partner Glen Thompson at Flemington. Gerard will fly the son of Savabeel into his temporary stables at Flemington this week to tackle some of Australia’s best middle-distance three-year-olds on Saturday, before he returns to New Zealand. Moroney said Savaglee is the real deal and will take plenty of beating on Saturday. “He’s a very smart horse and I think he’ll be here to run really well,” he said. Savaglee has eased out to $11 in Sportsbet’s Guineas market on the back of a luckless third placing against the older horses in the Gr.1 BCD Group Sprint (1200m) at his latest run. He is a Group One winner of the 2000 Guineas and boasts a record of 14 starts for seven wins. Savaglee’s presence in the $1 million race on Saturday had dented Moroney’s hopes of victory with his smart The Autumn Sun gelding Plymouth, but he suggested the pair could run the quinella. Plymouth was a brave first-up second in the Autumn Stakes (1400m) behind Guineas favourite Angel Capital and Moroney said he had been pleased with how he had trained on. View the full article
    • Tattersalls has released the catalogue for the Craven Breeze-Up Sale, of which dual Group 1 winner Vandeek (GB), Champion Two-Year-Old Native Trail (GB) and more recently G1 Futurity Trophy winner Hotazhell (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) are graduates from. The sale is set to take place between Monday 14 and Wednesday 16 April.  A total of 182 juveniles have been catalogued for the Craven Breeze-Up Sale, which features progeny by top-class sires like Dubawi, Blue Point, Kingman, Mehmas, Too Darn Hot, Wootton Bassett, Havana Grey and more.  Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented, “The Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale is unquestionably Europe's leading breeze up sale for Group 1 winners with Hotazhell the latest two-year-old graduate to score at the highest level, following in the illustrious footsteps of outstanding juvenile Vandeek and Classic winners Native Trail and Cachet.  “Both last year's Derby runner up Ambiente Friendly and Believing, the top-rated sprint filly in Europe who sold for 3,000,000 guineas at last year's December Mares Sale, etched their own marks on the sale's roll of honour and the calibre and the consistency of Group 1 winners sourced from the Craven Breeze Up Sale are a testament to the outstanding quality that Europe's leading breeze up consignors offer year after year. This year's catalogue is no exception and the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale looks certain to attract a strong contingent of domestic and international buyers.” He added, “The 'breeze' for the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale will take place at Newmarket's Rowley Mile Racecourse on Monday 14th April starting at 9.30am, with the sale taking place on Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th April after the conclusion of racing on the first two days of Newmarket's three-day Craven Meeting.” Willie Browne's Mocklershill will offer the largest consignment with 10 juveniles catalogued, followed by Thomond O'Mara's Knockanglass Stables and last year's leading consignor Tally-Ho Stud, who are both represented by nine horses. Glending Stables, consignors of the sale's top lot in 2024 and dual Group 1 winner Vandeek in 2023, will offer five lots whilst Eddie Linehan's Lackendarra Stables, who consigned Group 1 Futurity Trophy winner Hotazhell last year, has three juveniles catalogued. Buyers looking to benefit from additional incentives will be well catered for with four lots entered in the £25,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus Scheme, six two-year-olds eligible for French Owners' Premiums, 20 lots entered in the Swedish Derby and Oaks Series and seven fillies registered for the Great British Bonus Scheme. There are also several lots entered in lucrative Tattersalls sales races including the £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction Stakes, the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes and the €250,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Stakes. Along with the stellar cast of progeny by leading European-based sires, there is a good representation of American pedigrees, with the likes of American Pharoah, Bolt D'Oro, Justify, Not This Time, Street Sense, Speightstown and more represented.

The Chris Waller-trained mare was coming through the Group 1 C.F. Orr Stakes, where she was only able to beat one of the nine runners’ home over 1400m, but many believed she would enjoy further second-up, and they were correct. The race favourite with online bookmakers settled a lot closer to the leaders than she normally does, but it didn’t affect her finishing burst, as the daughter of Savabeel rounded her rivals up by the 100m mark and kicked clear. Holymanz ($11.00) attempted to go with the winner and stuck on well for second, while Ayrton ($7.50) ran home nicely and grabbed third place in the concluding stages of the race. 2023: Nonconformist causes minor upset Nonconformist reigned supreme in the 2023 Group 2 Blamey Stakes, recording his first win since the Naturalism Stakes in 2021. The win over 1600m, which is considered to be well short of his best distance, considering he ran second in a Caulfield Cup in 2021. With a solid tempo set by Gentleman Roy, it set the race up to be won by a runner with a good turn of foot and that was exactly what Nonconformist showed as he ran away with an easy 2.25 length victory. There weren’t many that believed that this six-year-old gelding could win first-up over 1600m, as he jumped at $19 with online bookmakers, with very little support shown during the day. 2022: Inspirational Girl arrives in time The Danny O’Brien-trained Inspirational Girl qualified for the $5 million All Star Mile after taking out the Group 2 Blamey Stakes at Flemington. The six-year-old mare, who was having just her third start for the O’Brien stable, was slow to begin before jockey Damian Lane was able to find the rail and push up to a midfield position. Race-favourite Zaaki took the lead a little over 100m out after being held up in the early part of the straight. The Annabel Neasham-trained gelding looked to have had the race won after bursting through a gap, but Inspirational Girl was able to get going late to power over the top of the Sydney-trained galloper to score by 0.2 of a length.
