    • Daniel Stackhouse returns to the mounting yard aboard Here To Shock (NZ) after winning the The Sportsbet Supernova at Sportsbet Pakenham on December 21, 2024 in Pakenham, Australia. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Here To Shock ($4.60) has claimed the inaugural running of The Supernova (1400m) at Pakenham on Saturday afternoon, with the Lindsay Park-trained gelding picking up third win of the campaign. The son of Shocking has proven a model of consistency this preparation, collecting back-to-back stakes wins prior to Saturday, with the well-tried seven-year-old proving too classy once again to secure the $1 million prize. Stable Companion Arkansaw Kid ($7.00) ensured a team Hayes quinella after making strong inroads late, while the Ciaron Maher-trained Chorlton Lane ($19.00) was luckless in the concluding stages, with Saffie Osborne only getting clear in the final 100m. The well-supported favourite with BlondeBet, Nadal ($2.50), was nowhere to be seen when the whips were cracking, with the potential up-and-coming star unable to show his usually blistering turn-of-speed stepping out to the 1400m. It was all about Here To Shock in the end, as the stable star ticked over $2 million in prizemoney for connections on Saturday. 2024 The Supernova Race Replay – Here To Shock https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/2024-Pakenham-21122024-The-Supernova-Race-7-Here-To-Shock-Ben-Will-JD-Hayes-Daniel-Stackhouse.mp4 Co-trainer Will Hayes was on course to breakdown the win. “It was terrific, cheering for both of them,” said Hayes. “Here To Shock is an absolute marvel. “We were very confident after the Big Dance in Sydney we were going to get him back and we had our eyes set on this race from a long way out, so that’s why he was representing our slot today, but Arkansaw (Kid) was huge. “He really likes being in the country. He’s just a happy horse. We gave him a tick-over trial before this, and we were really happy with him coming into today. Daniel Stackhouse picked up his third win of the afternoon aboard Here To Shock and spoke post-race. “I have to thank Tatum my partner for trialing him last week for me,” said Stackhouse. “I’d like to thank her and all the Hayes boys and all the owners too. “He ran some great races up in Sydney. Obviously, he had that heart problem last start but trialed beautifully last week. “He’s such a different horse now. He’s so quiet and he normally used to sweat up but he’s really grown up and he’s tough on both ends. “He toughed it out and it was a great win.” Horse racing news View the full article
    • We effectively now seem to have split the 2yos and 3yos into two tiers each. Based on this year's results so far the better ones work through the traditional pattern and aim for Australian targets eventually, while those who are eligible for the sweepstakes and slot races take a different path and just aim to pick up a maiden race somewhere without having to travel far. Actually, they don't even need to pick up a maiden race really. Nothing to stop a slot holder starting a maiden in the kiwi thing. Certainly a whole new world. Some people think it's wonderful so who am I to disagree.
    • What Sha Tin Races Where Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong When Sunday, December 22, 2024 First Race 12:45pm HKT (3:45pm AEDT) Visit Dabble Sha Tin Racecourse is the destination for Hong Kong racing on Sunday afternoon, with a bumper 10-part program set for decision. The rail is in the A+3 position for the meeting, and with nothing but sunny skies forecast in the lead-up, punters can expect a genuine Good 4 surface. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 12:45pm HKT. Best Bet at Sha Tin: Charity Gain Charity Gain has been racing without much luck and appears primed to secure his second career victory. The Twilight Son gelding had too much work to do in his most recent outing at Happy Valley on November 27, powering home to get within a half-length of Affordable. James McDonald gets legged aboard for the first time, and with barrier five allowing the star hoop to take closer order, Charity Gain should have no issues justifying the short price with Neds. Best Bet Race 6 – #1 Charity Gain (5) 5yo Gelding | T: David Eustace | J: James McDonald (61kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Sha Tin: City Thunder City Thunder appears set to peak third-up into the campaign after an eye-catching performance behind Happy Park at this course and distance on December 8. The son of Starspangledbanner lunged and only missed by a half-length, with the top three clearing out on their respective rivals in the concluding stages. The booking of Zac Purton shows intent, and provided City Thunder can give his opposition the slip in the final furlong, this guy will prove hard to chase down. Next Best Race 3 – #2 City Thunder (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Chris So | J: Zac Purton (60.5kg) Bet with BlondeBet Best Value at Sha Tin: Bling Bling Genius Bling Bling Genius impressed in his last two barrier trials, winning by a combined five lengths across both pieces of work on the Conghua surface. The Douglas Whyte-trained gelding appears to have terrific barrier manners, holding the leaders’ back on both occasions before being pushed out to score impressively. Lyle Hewitson should land in a similar position drawn in stall three, and provided Bling Bling Genius can sprint fresh, expect this guy to give a good account of himself debuting at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 5 – #7 Bling Bling Genius (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Douglas Whyte | J: Lyle Hewitson (58kg) Bet with Picklebet Sunday quaddie tips for Sha Tin Sha Tin quadrella selections December 22, 2024 2-3-5-6-8-12 1-3-4-5-8-13 1-3-5-8-11-12 2-7-10-12-13 Horse racing tips View the full article
    • What Sale Races Where Sale Turf Club – 1227 Maffra-Sale Rd, Sale VIC 3850 When Sunday, December 22, 2024 First Race 1:10pm AEDT Visit Dabble Racing heads to Sale on Sunday afternoon, where a competitive eight-race meeting is set down for decision. Clear skies are set to prevail, leaving punters with a perfect Good 4 track rating and the rail in its true position, meaning every runner will get their chance if good enough. The first race from Sale is set to jump at 1:10pm AEDT. Best Bet at Sale: Pro Aussie Pro Aussie caught the eye when hitting the line strongly first-up at Geelong over 1221m and the step up to 1400m on Sunday looks ideal second-up from a spell. Blake Shinn will likely have the son of Proisir doing as he pleases towards the rear of the field from barrier 10, but if Pro Aussie can produce a similar finish as he did last time out, he should be breaking maiden ranks at start three. Best Bet Race 2 – #4 Pro Aussie (10) 4yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Blake Shinn (59.5kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Sale: Hampton Palace Hampton Palace has returned in fine form this campaign, winning fresh at Hamilton before being beaten by the barest of margins at Werribee last time out. The four-year-old gelding is a natural on-pace runner, and with Tom Prebble on board claiming 2kg, the pair look set to either lead the field up from barrier three or at worst, be in the stalking position. With just 58.5kg on his back following the claim, Hampton Palace looks perfectly weighted to send punters home a winner in the Sale finale. Next Best Race 8 – #4 Hampton Palace (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Danny O’Brien | J: Tom Prebble (a2) (60.5kg) Bet with BlondeBet Best Value at Sale: Vongole Vongole was hitting the line strongly behind Pantelone and Why Worry at Moonee Valley last time out and presents great each-way value with Picklebet on Sunday. The nine-year-old gelding made a mess of the start and was forced towards the rear of the field and did well to pick up and be beaten by just 1.4 lengths. He is clearly the best horse in the field, and with Emily Poznan’s 3kg claim getting him in with 61kg on his back, Vongole only needs to replicate his finishing burst to be winning the second leg of the quaddie. Best Value Race 6 – #1 Vongole (11) 9yo Gelding | T: Enver Jusufovic | J: Emily Poznan (a3) (64kg) Bet with Picklebet Sunday quaddie tips for Sale Sale quadrella selections Sunday, December 22, 2024 4-7-9 1-2-6-9 3-5-6-7 4-10 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
