Central Districts apprentice jockey Liam Kauri has found some deserved good fortune this season and he hopes to continue that winning momentum at New Plymouth’s apprentice-only raceday on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has had a riding career limited by a number of injuries, but after returning from his most recent hiatus, he has ridden 14 winners and struck up a recent partnership with talented Wexford filly Tristar. Kauri’s latest success came at the Awapuni Synthetic on Sunday, where he partnered course specialist Doubtful Sound for his employer, Suzy Gordon. Since entering her stable, the gelding had won five all-weather races prior to Sunday’s Rating 75 contest, where he was the 62kg topweight. Decreasing his impost down to a competitive 59kg, Doubtful Sound broke away well from the ace barrier, and while he is often seen in the pacemaking role, Kauri was happy to sit in the trail of a free-rolling Jamaica Bay. The leader eased off the fence on the home turn and Doubtful Sound shot straight through the gap, outsprinting Jamaica Bay and Gohugo to score comfortably at the post by three quarters of a length. “I wanted to let him find his own rhythm, there wasn’t a set plan, but luckily the horse in front of me popped off the fence and we got the dream run through,” Kauri said. “It all worked out really well. “He switched off a little bit, but when I asked him, he really sprinted and put on a pretty impressive last 350m.” Kauri had been aboard Doubtful Sound in three of his six victories and while the gelding thrives on the synthetic, he said it is always an uncertainty as to whether horses will handle the surface. “You never really know how they’ll go, you look at the form and think they’ll go on the firm footing, but on the day, it can be a different story,” he said. The rescheduled New Plymouth meeting will bring more opportunities for Kauri, having secured the ride aboard Allan Sharrock’s speedy mare Street Gossip. In her first New Zealand campaign, the daughter of So You Think was a winner first-up and the market anticipates her to resume in the same fashion in the Robbie Patterson and Regal Lodge R75 (1200m). “She’s a nice mare and it’ll be my first time riding a race for Allan Sharrock, I’ve always wanted to ride for him, so I’m looking forward to it,” Kauri said. “The rail is out, so it usually plays pretty on-speed when that is the case.” His five other riding assignments include heavy-tracker Cocktail Lad in the One Bold Cat @ G1 Arrowfield R65 (2000m) and Primo Attitude in The Bold One @ Grangewilliam Stud MDN 2YO and Up (1600m).

Pencarrow Stud’s foundation mare Richebourg has left a lasting impression on the Australasian thoroughbred landscape, with Gr.1 Queensland Derby (2400m) victor Maison Louis further adding to that legacy with his Classic triumph at Eagle Farm on Saturday. The likes of Gr.1 Melbourne (3200m) and Caulfield Cup (2400m) heroine Ethereal, five-time Group One winner Darci Brahma, Group One winner Grand Echezeaux, and Group One performers Burgundy, Romanee Conti, Supera and Uberalles are descendants of the mare, and now Maison Louis can add his name to the esteemed list. “That was a really good effort, especially coming from our core family and it’s good to see that keep going,” Pencarrow Stud Manager Leon Casey said. “It has been an incredible family for us. They are capable of leaving speed horses that have got great acceleration, and also capable of leaving staying horses that settle well and can just keep finding gears over a trip. “There are a lot of good families, for whatever reason, do die out, but this family has three quite distinct branches going at the moment, and they are going as well as each other. We are pretty lucky.” With victory, Maison Louis also continued the incredible run of form of Waikato Stud stallion Super Seth, becoming his fourth individual Group One winner, alongside Linebacker, La Dorada and Feroce. “It is good to see Super Seth doing such a good job,” Casey said. Maison Louis is a son of stakes winner Cote D’Or, who won eight of her 19 starts for trainers Ken and Bev Kelso, including the Listed Matamata Cup (1600m). The three-year-old gelding was her third foal, with his two older siblings, Dresse’ Par Joli and Shooting Stride, also raceday winners. “She was a very good mare and we possibly didn’t see the best of her,” Casey said. “She has left some nice types. That is her third winner and she is putting together a good record now. “She leaves a nice type and they are good, sensible horses. That really stood to him (Maison Louis) on Saturday, he settled really well in a slowly run race, and that put him in a great spot to capitalise on things.” Maison Louis was purchased out of Pencarrow’s 2023 New Zealand Bloodstock Book 1 Yearling Sale draft by Go Racing for $250,000, and he has gone on to win four of his seven starts to date for trainers John O’Shea and Tom Charlton, accruing nearly $680,000 in stakes. “He wasn’t an overly big horse, but he was a nice type at the sales and sold for pretty good money,” Casey said. “We always had hopes that he would go on to do something.” Earlier in the day, fellow Pencarrow graduate Major Major added to the Cambridge farm’s impressive season tally when taking out the Trackside.co.nz 2100 at Ellerslie for trainers Simon and Katrina Alexander. “He is winning nicely in open company, you never know where he is going to finish off,” Casey said.

The New Zealand and international thoroughbred industries are mourning the loss of Michael Wallace, who passed away in the United States on Saturday night. Wallace was a highly respected bloodstock agent who successfully ran his own business before an eight-year stint as the chief operating officer for the China Horse Club. During his tenure, they celebrated 44 Group One victories and he was a key player in the purchase of the Triple Crown winner and successful sire Justify for the group. He left the role in 2021 and more recently worked as an independent agent with Vinnie and Teresa Viola’s St. Elias Stable in the United States, as well as with Kuldeep Singh Rajput’s Gandharvi Racing Stables. The son of Ardsley Stud’s Jim and Mary Wallace, he was a graduate of the Sunline Scholarship and subsequently furthered his experience with Rich Hill Stud. “After he completed the international scholarship, there was a requirement that he worked on a New Zealand stud farm,” Rich Hill’s John Thompson said. “He did a breeding season here and handled the stallions, that particular year we had Bertolini who had just sired the winner of the Cheveley Park Stakes (Gr.1, 1200m) from his first crop. “We were inundated and were only allowed to serve 150 mares, we could have served 250, and Michael spent an extremely busy season with us. “He was a very capable horseman and went on to bigger and better things and we always caught up at the sales. “As also President of the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association, on behalf of the industry I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family.” View the full article -

Rain forced the GI Resorts World Casino Manhattan Stakes on Saturday to be added to the end of the card at Saratoga on Sunday, but that move did not 'deter' Deterministic (Liam's Map–Giulio's Jewel, by Speightstown) from capturing the signature grass race for trainer Miguel Clement. The young conditioner celebrated the first Grade I victory of his career after he took over the stable from his father Christophe Clement. Determinisitic looked every bit a pro out of the gate as the dark bay colt led the field into the first turn. Striding confidently up the backstretch and around the far turn, the 4-year-old was stout and showed heart all the way to the wire. Integration (Quality Road) acquitted himself well by mounting a massive charge that came up short. The final running time was 1:48.93. Lifetime Record: 12-6-3-1. Sales History: $625,000 '22 KEESEP. O-St. Elias Stable, Langone, Ken, Duncker, C. Steven and Vicarage Stable; B-Hinkle Farms (KY); T-Miguel Clement.

you often say this Brodster, But you don't say how they can improve ? What should they be doing with the funding Entain has provided ? New races and assorted things s like that seemed a good idea to me. spend it while you have got it . you say harness only benefits for 5 years. What should they do after that time then ? (I would tinker with the actual racing itself if in charge lol.😂. If they want to make the Invercargill Cup a Group 1 for $100,000 for example, (which also drew BOAY criticism at the time for wasting funds) I thought it was good as gave the locals a chance to WIN Big Bucks with their Best pacers. (a bit like the Golden Gate initiative at Alex Park gave regular folk with regular horses a chance at big bucks , Unhinged Nigel even WON one of them . great stuff ) Your man Carter from Canterbury far too good for the Southerners though so mugged the Invercargill Cup money with Krug and Republican Party anyway. so the locals can't win their own race. I would make it a stand and plonk winners off 10m . This has what has slipped in NZ for a few years. The Handicap. Sundee's Son Lazarus Copy That and even bloody SWAYZEE 'Gifted' the big races (Dominion, Rowe,NZ Cup etc) as after winning them once. were NOT given the 10m or 20m handicap , so Easily won them a second time . Swayzee might be coming back for 3rd NZ Cup shortly ? just silly giving it to him. put him on 20m 👍😎 To Give Others a Chance handicap the winners . as they have done for 100 years previously. you need more than One Winner and you especially need all the participants to Have a chance of winning. . This keeps ALL Trainers and owners interested in competing in these races too. The interest will drop away otherwise.
