    • And it's only an R82. The solution might be to just never extend nominations in which case that race for example would have  been canned.
    • Fair point. Actually thought about putting an R75 in there. Would likely have been running for 3rd or 4th but $750 for getting round pays for the start. I still see that as more of a programming and handicapping problem though. If a lightweight like that in that field got a fair suck of the sav in the weights, then it would be way more attractive in the first place.
    • Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman will be on weather watch this Christmas ahead of Riot And Rose (NZ) (Pins) engagement in the Listed Lord Stakes at the Caulfield Heath on Boxing Day. “We’ll probably just keep an eye on that hot weather, if it looks like it’s going to get too warm, we might elect just to keep him at home,” Coleman said. “He has shown before that he doesn’t handle those really hot days all that well, so we’ll just keep an eye on that. “They’ve brought the races forward now, so hopefully that’s not an issue and he had a piece of work here at Pakenham on Saturday morning, which was really pleasing, and he just seems to be really enjoying his work at the moment, which you love to see.” Riot And Rose is the $3.30 favourite with Sportsbet for the Lord Stakes on Thursday, following on from his recent wins in the Wodonga Cup and Werribee Cup. “He seems to be in a really good spot at the moment,” Coleman said. “He’s obviously pretty lightly raced with a few setbacks throughout his career, nothing major but any minor niggle that you can imagine, he’s had it. “It’s very, very rewarding to have him back at the races and racing so well for his connections when they’ve had to be so patient with him.” Coleman elaborated on the issues that the seven-year-old gelding has faced in his career, where he’s won seven of his 15 starts. “Our farrier, Matt Martin’s done an incredible job with him, he’s just had a few foot issues along the way and Matt’s done a really good job, worked with him while he was in pre training,” she said. “He spelled down at Rosemont Stud, the crew down there did a fantastic job with him while he was spelling as well to really manage his feet and that work seems to be paying off. “This time around, touch wood, he’s been the soundest he’s ever been.” View the full article
    • Classy mare Malt Time (Adelaide) will have a luxury weight to carry among her female counterparts in Thursday’s Westbury Stud Royal Descent Stakes (1400m) at Ellerslie. After solid performances in the Gr.1 Arrowfield Stud Plate (1400m) and Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) through the spring, the Shaun and Emma Clotworthy-trained galloper lined up among the best of the country’s sprinters in the Gr.3 Concorde Stakes (1200m), where she far from disgraced herself finishing less than two lengths from Babylon Berlin. “She seems to have improved off the Concorde run, that was fresh-up against good sprinters and she’s come through it well,” Shaun Clotworthy said. “She had a bit of work at the beach and went to Ellerslie for a gallop last Thursday, so she’s going to strip a bit fitter and we’re happy with her.” The daughter of Adelaide is a multiple Group One performer currently rated 105, and at the set-weights and penalties conditions, she will carry just 55kg, decreased a further two kilograms by her regular rider and in-form apprentice Ace Lawson-Carroll. “She gets into the race well at set weights and penalties, and she can also utilise Ace’s two-kilo claim, which made the race even more attractive,” Clotworthy said. The early TAB market is reflective of her weight advantage in the Boxing Day feature, with bookmakers opening Malt Time a $3.20 favourite ahead of Taranaki visitor Sumi ($5), and Group Three winner Karman Line ($6). Now an eight-year-old mare, the end of Malt Time’s successful racing career is imminent as she scanned in-foal to Cambridge Stud’s young shuttle stallion Hello Youmzain. However, before the curtain comes down, the Clotworthy’s are eyeing another shot at an elusive Group One crown in the Harcourts Thorndon Mile (1600m) at Trentham next month. “She’ll either stay at the 1400 and go to the Westbury Classic (Gr.2), or we’ll step up and go to the Thorndon Mile,” he said. “At this stage, we’re probably leaning towards the mile.” View the full article
