According to her rider, Barnavara is a filly who wears her heart on her sleeve. In contrast, the man on top may well have had his heart in his mouth in the dying strides as Barnavara conquered the Prix de l'Opera (G1).View the full article -

Ka Ying Rising will trial at Randwick on Tuesday morning, with the HK champion pictured winning the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup in February Photo: HKJC. Champion Hong Kong sprinter Ka Ying Rising and The Everest favourite will have a barrier trial at Randwick on Tuesday morning. Ka Ying Rising is looming as the unbackable favourite for the AUD $20million feature at $1.70 with bookmakers, and the trial is likely to be his only hit-out ahead of the October 18 slot race. Reigning Hong Kong Jockey of the Year Zac Purton will fly into Sydney for the trial, with Australian trainer David Hayes, who now trains out of Hong Kong set to also be at the course proper. Ka Ying Rising’s trial will feature several other key horses with big Spring’s on the agenda, with Chris Waller’s trio Angel Capital, Fangirl and Joliestar all set to partake, while Ben, Will and JD Hayes will take on their famous father’s horse with Mr Brightside. Fan Girl and Mr Brightside are two of the favourites for the King Charles III Stakes , which will also be run at Randwick on October 18, with Pride of Jenni the bookie’s elect at $3.50. The Australian Turf Club has announced that all media and spectators on course will be treated to a free breakfast, following Ka Ying Rising’s trial, while Hayes and Purton are also expected to speak.

Quintessa pictured after winning the Group 1 Proisir Plate. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Adverse weather has forced multiple Group One winner Quintessa to take an unorthodox route to next Saturday’s Group 1 Livamol Classic (2040m), with the mare appearing at the Awapuni trials on Monday afternoon. Prepared by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson at Matamata, Quintessa got her preparation off to a flying start winning the Group 1 Proisir Plate (1400m), but she was scratched from the second leg of the triple crown (Group 1 Howden Insurance Mile, 1600m) at Te Rapa, avoiding the heavy surface. With a task of getting her to the Livamol three weeks later, Bergerson nominated the mare for the Group 3 Taranaki Breeders’ Stakes (1400m), but withdrew before acceptances, opting to head across to Awapuni for a hit-out over 1300m. In the hands of stable rider Opie Bosson, Quintessa settled at the tail of the field through the running, while stablemate Midnight Blue strode to the top for Samantha Collett. Bosson asked her for an effort turning for home and she responded well, striding up to finish second behind Sailor Jack. Bergerson was pleased with what he saw from the daughter of Shamus Award, who didn’t trial in her usual blinkers. “It’s been a pretty tough time of it with the weather lately, so it was a good opportunity to get on a reasonable surface,” Bergerson said. “Opie was really happy with her trial, she’s pretty lazy without the blinkers on but we wanted to keep them up our sleeve for raceday. I was pleased with how she hit the line and she went past the post a bit as well, so that should bring her on nicely. “The trip away will do her the world of good, it’s a fine line getting her fit but keeping the speed in her legs and soundness as well, she takes a bit of managing. “Hopefully that will catch us up a bit fitness-wise, I’m looking forward to Saturday-week with her.” In an ideal world, Bergerson would like to give her another gallop on better ground before heading to Ellerslie but recognises that may not be a reality. Quintessa has shorted from $18 into $8 with betting sites in recent weeks to win the Livamol Classic, with the Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott-trained Waitak the bookie’s elect at $3.50. “I’d be happy if the weather picked up and I could get some nice work into her on good tracks at home, but unfortunately it’s just that time of year and it’s tough for everyone,” he said. “She’ll have another nice hit-out next week.” It was similar circumstances for Midnight Blue, who was set to resume in the Listed Matamata Cup (1600m) but will look elsewhere to kick off his campaign. “He was meant to be in the Matamata Cup on Saturday, but with the rain, we wanted him to have a nice hit-out on a decent surface as well,” Bergerson said. “A trip away is good for the old boy to get him thinking and that’ll bring him on a bit too. “It would’ve been nice to kick him off on his home track, but he can potentially kick off at Ellerslie in a few weeks’ time in an Open race, then there are some nice races over Christmas if he comes up well.” A nine-year-old by So You Think, Midnight Blue joined the Te Akau Racing stable in late 2023 and placed in the Group 3 Taranaki Cup (1800m) and Taupo Cup (2000m) last term.
