He required most of the long straight at King Abdulaziz Racetrack, but in the end, GOLDEN VEKOMA (c, 3, Vekoma–Sticks Wondergirl, by Stevie Wonderboy) called on his class to grab Japan's dirt debutant Shin Forever (Complexity) with just under 100 meters to race and inched away to add Saturday's $1.5-million G3 Saudi Derby to his prior success in the G3 UAE 2000 Guineas across in Dubai Jan. 24. Settled midfield through the early exchanges as the undefeated Japanese filly Myriad Love (Jpn) (New Year's Day) and Shin Forever made the running, Golden Vekoma was sent in between Japanese runners at the 600 meters and had the now lone leader Shin Forever within his sights approaching the straight. The Japanese galloper, a grass maiden winner at first asking last year, had a kick and carried a clear advantage into the final furlong, but, racing on his incorrect lead, Golden Vekoma grabbed him with time ticking away and went on to prevail. Sales history: $145,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $90,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 4-3-0-1, $1,068,145. O-Mohammed Ahmed Ali Al Sabousi; B-Woods Edge Farm LLC (KY); T-Ahmad Bin Harmash.

Former Kiwi galloper Jimmysstar scored a stunning win in the Gr.1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m) at Caulfield on Saturday under a brilliant Ethan Brown ride. The son of Per Incanto stalked eventual runner-up She’s Bulletproof and launched from the rear of the field to record an emphatic length and a quarter victory in a slick 1:02.25. The winner of two of his three starts in New Zealand for Hastings trainer Guy Lowry, a majority share in Jimmysstar was sold to clients of Ciaron Maher following a Rating 65 win at Hawke’s Bay. Maher has subsequently placed the now five-year-old to perfection with Jimmysstar having a particular affinity for Caulfield, where he has won four of five starts, with his only unplaced effort at the venue when luckless in the Gr.1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) at the end of last campaign. “He is a very special horse,” Maher said. “Ozzie Kheir and the team of owners, they’re great people. He’s got such a following does Jimmy. I’ve been patient, he has always shown that sort of ability and Ethan did say to me ‘it’s about time’, before the race.” Maher said winning fresh-up last campaign over the course and distance had given him the confidence to thrust the exciting talent into the Group One short-course contest fresh-up. “I think Ozzie thought I was crazy when I ran him over 1100m the first time,” he said. “He’s a special horse. He’s always shown that bit of X factor and I can’t thank Ozzie, John and the whole ownership group enough. They’re fantastic to train for, he’s got a knack of finding the best horses. “It’s huge for Sam (Williams) at Little Avondale. He is just a great advertisement for what patience can do. He was very well managed in New Zealand and came over after only a few starts.” Rising star Ethan Brown has seven Group One victories to his name and six of those have come for Maher. “I take a lot of pride in the fact we have built a good relationship and you can see he is just so confident to ride a horse like that in a Group One, it was beautiful,” Maher said. Jimmysstar was bred by Wairarapa couple Pete and Chrissy Algie in partnership with Masterton’s Little Avondale Stud. Stud proprietors Sam and Catriona Williams along with the Algies remain in the ownership of the star galloper. The chestnut gelding is by Little Avondale Stud’s outstanding stallion Per Incanto out of Anniesstar. The Zed mare won five races including the Listed Feilding Gold Cup (2100m), while her full-brother Jacksstar was a seven-time winner up to Group Two level and also placed in the Gr.1 Auckland Cup (3200m) and her half-brother Bourbonaire was runner-up in the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m). Anniesstar is the dam of three named foals, and all of them have been winners, including Charms Star, winner of the Gr.3 Manawatu Breeders’ Stakes (2000m), and she was also runner-up in the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) and Queensland Oaks (2200m) as a three-year-old.

Champion galloper Mr Brightside notched his ninth Group One victory when winning the Gr.1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday for trainers Ben, Will and JD Hayes under a positive Craig Williams ride. The son of Bullbars displayed all his fighting qualities as he made it back-to-back Futurity Stakes, defying his widest draw and a strong head-wind as he raced outside the leader Private Life, with that rival trailing the field home. Mr Brightside scored by the barest of margins as Tom Kitten swooped late, while I Wish I Win turned in a strong performance for third fresh-up. “To see him win like that and just get in, it’s not good for the heart, but we’re so proud of him,” Ben Hayes said. “It’s a long week but we’re just so passionate about this guy and we know he’s good enough and he’s shown it here and he’s the most important horse that we’ve ever been involved with. “For him to continue and keep winning – that’s his ninth Group One victory – and he’s also won an All-Star Mile and that’s a Group One now so you could technically say 10.” Mr Brightside has now surpassed Better Loosen Up as the most successful Group One winner produced by Lindsay Park and is nearing on A$17 million in prizemoney. That tally can be added to as he heads to the A$2.5 million All-Star Mile (1600m) at Flemington on March 8. “He’ll improve a lot from today and all he needs is a nice barrier,” Hayes said. “He’s due one, he’s drawn wide both runs this prep. If he gets a soft run where he doesn’t have to roll forward and lead, he’s a much better chaser and he’ll be right in it.” The Gr.1 Hong Kong Champions Mile (1600m) on April 27 is also a longer range target for the venerable seven-year-old. Mr Brightside was bred by Ray Johnson in partnership with his late wife Martha. He was sold as a yearling for $22,000 via Janine Dunlop’s Phoenix Park at the 2019 New Zealand Bloodstock May Sale, where he was bought by Phill Cataldo. He then failed to meet his $50,000 reserve when re-offered at the Ready to Run Sale. An opportunity later arose for Johnson to buy him back on gavelhouse.com for just $7,750, in conjunction with Cambridge trainer Ralph Manning and good friend Shaun Dromgool. Mr Brightside finished a luckless fifth in his sole New Zealand start at Matamata for Manning, having previously won a trial. He was subsequently sold privately to clients of the Hayes stable via Australian agent Wayne Ormond. View the full article -

Coeur Volante delivered a commanding performance at Caulfield on Saturday, securing her third Stakes victory in the Gr.3 Mannerism Stakes (1400m) under the guidance of jockey Blake Shinn. Prepared by Mike Moroney and Glen Thompson, the talented Proisir mare overcame a challenging run at Sandown in her previous start, showcasing her class this time around. Grinzinger Belle set a brisk early pace, allowing Coeur Volante to find the trail from a wide barrier. As the leader’s momentum waned rounding the final turn, Coeur Volante surged clear for a comfortable four length win from So Glamorous and Quintessa. Moroney was full of praise for his four-year-old mare and said the decision to be patient through last year’s Queensland Carnival was now paying dividends. “She’s a very classy filly. It’s just a matter of getting the gear [right],” Moroney said. “We had her in the Tatts Tiara (Gr.1, 1400m) and I had the blinkers on her that day and then we scratched because we weren’t happy with her and saved her for now. “She had a nice long break up there in Queensland and it’s going to pay off. Her whole demeanour is starting to change now she’s accepting racing. She went through a bit of a funny stage when she went off the boil – I think she’s back now.” Moroney also acknowledged the teamwork behind the stable’s success given the experienced horseman’s health challenges in the past 12 months. “Between me, Glen, Anthony, my partner Karen, I keep the business and the stable going. I’ve not been there a lot of late but I’m getting there,” he said. Looking ahead, Moroney confirmed that Coeur Volante is likely to head to Sydney next. “We’ll probably go up to Sydney with her now for the Coolmore (Gr.1, 1500m). We think she’s Group One class and she ran a good race here in the Thousand Guineas, probably on pretty tired legs, so I’m pretty sure that she’ll handle 1500m no problems.” Bred by Fairdale Stud, Coeur Volante is one of 21 stakes winners by Rich Hill Stud stallion Proisir. Out of the Testa Rossa mare Shanina, Coeur Volante was purchased by Paul Moroney Bloodstock in conjunction with Ballymore Stables for $90,000 out of the Prima Park draft during the Book 1 Yearling Sale at Karaka in 2022. She is the younger half-sister of stakes placed filly Hasstobemagic and comes from a family that includes multiple Australian Group Two winner Rose O’ War and outstanding race mare Savana City who included the Gr.1 AJC Oaks (2400m) amongst her eight career victories.

New guy going to be earning a bit of his million a year sorting this out. Maybe Entain can put up some new markets with odds for us to bet on in the meantime - no abandonment, abandonment after race 1, race 2, race 3......
