Blake Spriggs celebrating after claiming the Group 3 Warra at Kembla Grange with Headwall. Photo: Bradley Photos Headwall ($7.00) has gone from last to first to claim a stunning victory in the Group 3 Warra (1000m) at Kembla Grange on Saturday afternoon, with the Matthew Smith-trained gelding securing the $300,000 prize after being well-supported with horse racing bookmakers. The son of Dream Ahead was given a cold ride by Blake Spriggs after drawing out in barrier 11, and it proved to be a winning move, with the field of 11 going along at a hectic tempo courtesy of Kote ($151.00), Brudenell ($11.00) and South Of India ($26.00 with BlondeBet) going forward in a line of three in the early stages. It left Dragonstone ($5.00) taking over in the final furlong, and although he looked to be travelling best, he was no match for Headwall who relished the Good 3 conditions on offer at Kembla Grange towards the end of the program. It’s the first stakes level victory for Headwall, keeping his impressive record of 13 starts for six wins and six more minor placings intact as he careered away for an impressive half-length victory. 2024 Group 3 Warra Race Replay – Headwall (1st) https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Kembla-Grange-Race-9-Group-3-The-Warra-Headwall-Matthew-Smith-Blake-Spriggs.mp4 An emotional Blake Spriggs spoke post-race as he broke down the victory. “I’m trying to hold it together,” Spriggs said. “I can see Reg behind me in tears. “There’s a lot to this horse. I sat with Reg on Thursday, and we watched all of his replays, and all the replays of the horses in the family. “There’s eight horses out of this family that I’ve won on, and one of the owners Marie died of MND last year, and we had the funeral on top of the hill up there, and I was really wanting to give the family something to be happy about. They’ve done it tough, and they deserve to get something special like this. “I knew the horse I had under me. From day one I said that he’s a stakes horse, I still think he can go on and match it with the best, but he’s just a late maturing horse.” Horse racing news View the full article -

Tommy Berry celebrating as Berry and Gringotts claim Group 3: The Gong. Photo: Bradley Photos Ciaron Maher & Tommy Berry have combined with Gringotts ($2.80) proving too classy for his rivals in claiming a dominant victory in The Gong (1600m) at Kembla Grange on Saturday afternoon. It comes after another impressive performance when securing victory in the Big Dance (1600m) at Randwick on November 5, with the son of Per Incanto claiming back-to-back features. It was almost a duplicate ride by Berry from last time out, with Gringotts sent forward from barrier 14 in an attempt to offset the 60kg on his back. It proved to be an intelligent move by the star hoop, with the well-supported favourite with Neds landing into the ideal stalking position throughout the journey. Stable companion Berkshire Shadow ($17.00) was the lamplighter throughout, with Osipenko ($26.00) sitting to his outside, with the pair going along at a moderate clip. It left Berry with no choice but to take off turning for home, with the five-year-old sustaining a long run to the winning post, clinging to victory, while the likes of Superazi ($26.00) and Steparty ($7.00) would be forced to battle it out for the minor money. 2024 The Gong Race Replay – Gringotts (1st) https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Kembla-Grange-Race-8-Group-3-Mercury-Gong-Gringotts-Tommy-Berry-Ciaron-Maher.mp4 Stable representative Johann Gerard-Dubord was on course to discuss the victory, suggesting Gringotts has gone to a new level. “His target early in the spring was the Big Dance, which he got the job done there,” said Gerard-Dubord. “To come back here and do what he did, and it seemed like there was a bit more there, he went again, and I think he’ll keep improving. “He’s obviously done a really good job this prep, and I think he’ll be a proper horse going forward. “On a day-to-day basis he’s still doing a lot wrong, so there’s still some maturing to come.” Tommy Berry was elated with the win and gave full credit to his mount on an excellent performance. “Yeah, I’m getting a little emotional,” Berry said. “I guess I cut my teeth around this area, so I’ve got a lot of friends and a lot of family and people from down this way. Some are here today which is great, and I think he’s (Gringotts) much better than I thought he was. “To win with 60kg and he was sort of toying with them down the straight. He spotted the horse (Superazi) out wider on the track at the same time I did, and he put the after burners on and had more to give.” Horse racing news View the full article -

Globe (NZ) ridden by Ethan Brown wins the Ladbrokes Cranbourne Cup at Cranbourne Racecourse on November 23, 2024 in Cranbourne, Australia. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) The Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr)-trained Globe ($4.20) has led every step of the way to claim victory in the $500,000 Cranbourne Cup (1600m) on Saturday afternoon, giving Ethan Brown back-to-back feature wins after securing the inaugural running of The Meteorite (1200m) 40 minutes early. The race didn’t change complexion much as Brown elected to take up the running from barrier six, with the son of Charm Spirit ticking off some moderate sectionals in the middle stages. The Mark Walker-trained New Zealand raider It’s A Wild Night ($4.80 at Neds) got into the ideal stalking position one-off the rail, while Dashing ($26.00) was happy to sit on the leaders back throughout the journey. Damien Lane was able to navigate to the one-one aboard the well-supported Air Assault ($5.00) and looked to be travelling best in the final furlong; however, it was Brown and Globe proving best in the shadows of the post, with the lightly raced six-year-old chalking up his sixth career win at start nine. 2024 Cranbourne Cup Race Replay – Globe (1st) https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cranbourne-Race-9-Listed-Cranbourne-Cup-23112024-Globe-Mick-Price-Michael-Kent-Ethan-Brown.mp4 Co-trainer Mick Price was delighted with the performance and suggested it was perfect placement to lend in a hand in victory. “It’s fantastic for the owners because we took a big punt on this race,” said Price. “He’s a 17-hand horse getting around Cranbourne where I have my worst strike rate, and I thought, greed is good for a $500,000 race. What do you do? “I think bringing him here on Tuesday was a good idea because he is a high nervous energy horse and he did belt out a bit of energy on Tuesday morning, but the kid (Ethan) did a good job on him. “It’s not that hot today. I know it’s hot, but it’s not hot where the horses are really stressed. I thought the kid did a good job with him out the back and they hosed him and kept him cool. The horse was in good nervous order. “His wheels weren’t fizzing around his head, which they can. I think the more racing he does, the better he’ll be.” Horse racing news View the full article -

Nadal ridden by Ethan Brown wins the The Ladbrokes Meteorite at Cranbourne Racecourse on November 23, 2024 in Cranbourne, Australia. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) The Ciaron Maher-trained Nadal ($4.40) has come with a withering burst to claim the inaugural running of The Meteorite (1200m) at Cranbourne on Saturday afternoon. The son of Xtravagant was well-supported with horse racing bookmakers prior to the jump, with punters happy to forgive his luckless effort down the Flemington straight on November 9. Ethan Brown was extremely patient aboard the progressive four-year-old, taking a sit towards the rear of the field as Baraqiel ($3.10) launched forward early under the urgings of Ben Allen. The rank outsider with Blondebet, Philosopher ($71.00), was sent across to pester the favourite throughout the journey, while Oscars Fortune ($12.00) was caught deep without cover at the first turn. They were going at a genuine clip throughout, and as Philosopher and Oscars Fortune dropped out of the contest, Baraqiel was still there whacking away, while the like of Rey Magnerio ($6.00) and Nadal were produced late to have one final crack in the final furlong. It was all Nadal in the concluding stages, however, with the $1 million feature heading the way of the Ciaron Maher Racing slot holders. 2024 The Meteorite Race Replay – Nadal (1st) https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cranbourne-Race-8-The-Meteorite-23112024-Nadal-Ciaron-Maher-Ethan-Brown.mp4 Stable representative Adrian Joyce was on course to breakdown the win and couldn’t have been happier with the performance. “Ethan (Brown) has to get a lot of the credit because it went very hard and he had to come from a long way back,” said Joyce, “He decided, obviously as he was in the run, he didn’t want to pull out wide and come with that long-range run, so he waited, and he just got the splits and he gave him a super ride. “It’s great for Ozzie and John and the rest of the crew involved in him. They’re great supporters of the yard, of Ciaron’s. It’s super. “He came back in this prep, a different horse, stronger, moving really well and he’s just kept improving. We’ve always had a lot of faith in him. “He’s a really nice horse and a beautiful individual as well.” Ethan Brown spoke about the tactics post-race, suggesting the hot tempo played into his mounts’ advantage. “It looked quick on paper and I did want to be a bit closer, but they kept up that genuine gallop which pushed us a pair further back,” Brown said. “I just rode in as they started fanning around the corner and I thought we can’t loop them. “So, give him a click, he was right there for me, a gap presented and off he went. That was a good win, and rates much better than his win at Caulfield the other day. “He’s very talented and he’s in the right stable. They’ll put him through his grades and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him in a Stakes race and the horses he beat there then, it just puts the writing on the wall, doesn’t it?

What Sha Tin Races Where Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong When Sunday, November 24, 2024 First Race 12:45pm HKT (3:45pm AEDT) Visit Dabble Hong Kong racing returns to Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon, with a bumper 10-race program scheduled to get underway at 12:45pm local time. The rail is in the C position for the meeting, and with no rain forecast throughout the weekend, punters can anticipate a genuine Good 4 surface. Check out our best bets and quaddie selections down below. Best Bet at Sha Tin: New Future Folks New Future Folks appears set to peak third-up in the campaign after a luckless effort at this course and distance on October 20. He was dragged back to the rear of the field on that occasion but was putting in the big strides late despite being detached from the main contingent in the middle stages. Gate five should allow Ben Thompson to take closer order, and provided New Future Folks is within striking distance turning for home, this guy should get every chance to shirk the maiden tag at start four. Best Bet Race 3 – #2 New Future Folks (5) 4yo Gelding | T: Michael Chang | J: Ben Thompson (60kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Sha Tin: Young Champion Young Champion caught the eye at Sha Tin on November 9, producing some strong closing sectionals to get within 2.5 lengths of race rival Green N White. He strips fitter for that performance and should relish stepping out to the 1600m third-up into the preparation. There should be a genuine tempo engaged in this Class 2 contest, and with Karis Teetan set to lob into the perfect position two-back one off the rail, watch for Young Champion to be powering over the top at a cracking price with BlondeBet. Next Best Race 7 – #9 Young Champion (5) 5yo Gelding | T: John Size | J: Karis Teetan (53.5kg) Bet with BlondeBet Best Value at Sha Tin: Lupo Solitario New Zealand import Lupo Solitario makes his Hong Kong debut in the final race of the program. The son of Satono Aladdin brings some formidable formlines behind Orchestral in the three-year-old Karaka Millions at Ellerslie back in January, and while his trials have only been even to the eye, the four-year-old has improved every time he’s stepped out. First-up over 1600m shows strong intent from the Frankie Lor barn, and at a massive price with horse racing bookmakers, Lupo Solitario warrants an each-way ticket. Best Value Race 10 – #2 Lupo Solitario (6) 4yo Gelding | T: Frankie Lor | J: Derek Leung (60.5kg) Bet with Picklebet Sunday quaddie tips for Sha Tin Sha Tin quadrella selections November 24, 2024 2-8-9-12-13 1-4-5-7-8-10 1-2-4-5 2-3-8-10-11 Horse racing tips View the full article
