    • Ralph Beckett enjoyed the perfect result in Wednesday's G3 HKJC World Pool Oak Tree Stakes when his two representatives, Saqqara Sands (Oasis Dream) and Tabiti (Kingman), could not be separated by technology in a photo finish to the seven-furlong contest at Goodwood. Tabiti, last seen finishing third in Royal Ascot's Sandringham Handicap, set the tempo with her Listed Eternal Stakes-winning stablemate sitting second from flagfall. The pair locked horns passing the quarter-mile pole and engaged in a pulsating ding-dong duel thereafter, hitting the line in unison as the closers failed to make an impact.   The post Ralph Beckett Duo Saqqara Sands and Tabiti Share Spoils in Oak Tree Dead-Heat appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Jumps racing was on the way out.  Now NZTR and Entain are surprised and happy with turnovers.  Reports tell us there are less injuries too. Well done to everyone responsible.
    • From last on the turn under riding, OTI Racing’s Kiwi import Skippers Canyon (NZ) (Belardo) has unleashed a wicked turn of foot to score with authority in his Australian debut at Sandown on Wednesday. Most recently seen contesting the Group 2 Avondale Guineas, the now Phillip Stokes-trained gelding was ridden out to win a recent 1200-metre jumpout, but looked in need of further than Wednesday’s 1400-metre assignment. But things set up as well as they could have when Betwitchery ($6) set a fierce tempo, although backers wouldn’t have been confident when Skippers Canyon ($11) was rearward and being scrubbed along by Daniel Stackhouse on the turn. However, as the race changed complexion, the prospective stayer picked his way through the field and surged to the front, finishing too strongly for Stay Silent ($10) to record an impressive first-up win. Stokes admitted that he wasn’t expecting such an impressive performance, especially given the relatively short trip and said he may have to ‘raise the bar’ regarding his expectations of the exciting Belardo gelding. “We took all the gear off him, we just wanted to see him strong through the line,” he said. “Not talking it up or anything (but) we feel he’s a 2000-metre horse, might be further and he showed a nice turn of foot today. “We might’ve unearthed another one. Big to Terry (Henderson) and the OTI team, they seem to find these horses. We might have to raise the bar.” Skippers Canyon was trained in New Zealand by Opaki-based trainer Jim Wallace and was bred under his Ardsley Stud banner. View the full article
