The first rankings are out for the IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup and the Renwick Farms Dominion Trot, to be held at Addington Raceway on Tuesday, November 11. Nominations for the two Group 1s closed late last month (34 in the New Zealand Cup and 41 for the Dominion). In the $1m New Zealand Cup Swayzee, as defending champion, 2024 Auckland Cup winner Republican Party, Inter Dominion champion Leap To Fame and 2025 Maurice Holmes Vase winner Mo’unga have automatically qualified and fill the top four places. Of the other top Kiwi chances, star northern pacer Merlin is rated at fifth, ahead of Don’t Stop Dreaming with Akuta at eighth, We Walk By Faith at 9 and Chase A Dream at 10. Two trotters have already qualified for the Dominion Trot – Bet N Win after his win in 2025 Rowe Cup and Inter Dominion champion Arcee Phoenix. They are ranked first and second with multiple Group 1 winners Oscar Bonavena and Muscle Mountain at 3 and 4, followed by Victorian visitor Keayang Chucky. His stablemate Keayang Zahara, who caused such a sensation last year with 15 wins in a row, is ranked at 13th. The first of the automatic qualifiers for the Dominion is Friday’s Ordeal Cup at Addington, followed by the Worthy Queen (October 10) and the Canterbury Park Trotting Cup (October 17) while the second automatic qualifier for the New Zealand Cup is the New Brighton Cup this Friday followed by the Holmes DG at Alexandra Park on October 3 and the Canterbury Classic at Addington (October 17). Both the NZ Cup and the Dominion will be limited to 15 starters. Rankings will be updated weekly with the final rankings coming out after the Kaikoura meeting on Monday, November 3.

The club was the first organisation in Asia to be recognised as having reached Level 4 in 2011, and was recertified in 2015, 2018, 2021, and again this year, becoming the first in the region to hit that mark five times in a row. In a statement released on Thursday, the club said the accreditation underscored its...View the full article -

What Chelmsford Stakes Day 2025 Where Royal Randwick Racecourse – Alison Rd, Randwick NSW 2031 When Saturday, September 6, 2025 First Race 11:50am AEST Visit Dabble Feature racing returns to Randwick this Saturday with a bumper 10-part program lined up for Chelmsford Stakes Day. The forecast promises a genuine Good 4 surface, and with the rail out +4m for the entire circuit, it should be a fair track throughout the afternoon. HorseBetting.com.au has looked over the Randwick race card and come up with the best bets for the day, including our top picks for the features. Chelmsford Stakes Tip: Ceolwulf It was hard not to be impressed with the return of Ceolwulf in the Group 1 Winx Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on August 23. The son of Tavistock was left with plenty of work to do after settling last in the run, circling the widest of 11 runners when closing within 2.5 lengths of Via Sistina. He is already a two-time Group 1 winner at this course and distance, and with Chad Schofield set to gain the gun run from gate two, Ceowulf should have them covered in the Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes (1600m). Chelmsford Stakes Race 7 – #2 Ceolwulf (2) 5yo Gelding | T: Joseph Pride | J: Chad Schofield (59kg) Furious Stakes Tip: Akaysha A capacity field of 16 fillies do battle in the Group 2 Furious Stakes (1200m), and it looks to be a wide-open betting affair. After two strong trials, the Peter Snowden-trained Akaysha gets the nod as she returns from a 112-day spell. The Capitalist filly didn’t miss the frame in three starts last preparation, and with the shape of this contest set to suit the get-back-run-on style of Akaysha, the $26 with horse racing bookmakers is too big to ignore. Furious Stakes Race 6 – #8 Akaysha (8) 3yo Filly | T: Peter Snowden | J: Andrew Adkins (56kg) Tramway Stakes Tip: Linebacker The penny dropped with Linebacker at the end of last season, with the son of Super Seth claiming the Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) prior to failing in a slowly run edition of the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m). He returns after an eye-catching barrier trial at Hawkesbury on August 25, with the four-year-old surging through the line impressively under minimal riding by Zac Lloyd. Gate 16 is the only reason we are still getting $6 odds; if the breaks fall his way, Linebacker must be considered the one to beat in the 2025 Tramway Stakes (1400m). Tramway Stakes Race 9 – #2 Linebacker (16) 4yo Gelding | T: John O’Shea & Tom Charlton | J: Zac Lloyd (58kg) Concorde Stakes Tip: Headwall The Group 3 Concorde Stakes (1000m) will act as an Everest audition for most of these, and that is no exception for Headwall. The Dream Ahead gelding went to another level in the autumn, claiming three placings across four starts — including a luckless effort in the Group 1 T.J. Smith Stakes (1200m). He brings a strong first-up profile into this, and although he may lack the class of a Lady Shenandoah and Jimmysstar later in the prep, Headwall should get every chance here. Concorde Stakes Race 8 – #5 Headwall (5) 6yo Gelding | T: Matthew Smith | J: Zac Lloyd (58kg) Best Bet at Randwick: Spirit Of Wealth Spirt Of Wealth appears to be a clear best bet on the Randwick card despite returning from a 329-day spell. They simply don’t trial much better than what the Michael Freedman-trained mare produced at Gosford on August 18, with the four-year-old cruising through the wire to score by 1.5 lengths. This BM78 contest against the girls lacks depth, and with Spirit Of Wealth set to target stakes races moving forward, expect her to prove too classy for this lot. Best Bet Race 3 – #10 Spirit Of Wealth (1) 4yo Mare | T: Michael Freedman | J: Tommy Berry (54kg) Saturday quaddie tips for Randwick Randwick quadrella selections Saturday, September 6, 2025 2-5-8 1-4-5-11 2-4-5-7-15 1-5-8-10-11 Horse racing tips View the full article -
