    • Caspar Fownes retook the lead in the trainers’ championship with a double at Happy Valley on Wednesday night, but it was Vincent Ho Chak-yiu who stole the show with a treble on the card. The 58-year-old was one winner behind leader Mark Newnham on 27 heading into the night, but he leapt ahead of him to reclaim the lead after a sterling evening for the stable. Ho was on board both of Fownes’ winners, with Love Together’s striking win in the Class Three Chater Handicap (1,000m) the showpiece. It...View the full article

    • Horse has progressed ok since that win last Winter Mr Galah. Thought I would let you know this week that IMPERIAL COMMAND did so well in the spring he is attacking the Big Group 1 Maori Mile at Bendigo on this coming Saturday night. won't win it , as the champ Keayang Zahara will do that. .  But since the Win last June IMPERIAL COMMAND trotted to 7 more wins and 6 placings from 18 starts to make Open Class. The Gaths have him going along nicely ok. they are great trotter trainers. Open class may be a bit tough though although he is down to about 1.56 capable now . not quick enough for a Group 1 though. footnote: Kingman the NZ Cup winner down to resume in the Bendigo Cup (the race before the Maori Mile ) on Saturday night. The trotters actually race for 100k. and the Cup only worth $75k this year and reduced to a Group 2 as Victoria Harness runs broke these days.  so the prizemoney is falling away accordingly.
