    • Geez, the stinking cold easterly at Riccarton must have missed you.
    • Do we really believe that this 5 per cent breeding bonus is going to really be an incentive? Good they trying but we no it won’t be anywhere enough to entice the average harness breeder to continue to breed foals. It also says it is for 5 years providing there is a budget for it! We know that there probably won’t in 5 years time
    • Up to a mile and a half for the first time on Sunday, Godolphin's Prix du Jockey Club runner-up Cualificar (Lope De Vega) threw his hat into the ring for the Arc as he mastered his peers in the G2 Qatar Prix Niel. Trapped in behind at a crucial stage under William Buick, the 12-5 shot was out in time to run down Bay City Roller (New Bay) close home and win by a short head. Andre Fabre, who will have a strong hand in next month's showcase along with the third-placed Parachutiste (Dubawi) and the Prix Foy runner-up Sosie, had run the winner in the 10-furlong G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano last month and explained, “He got quite heavy this summer, so I thought he needed an extra run before this and it was something I did a long time ago with Trempolino. This was what I was hoping for and expecting, with the step up in trip and the softer ground.”     Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France QATAR PRIX NIEL-G2, €119,000, ParisLongchamp, 9-7, 3yo, 12fT, 2:30.56, g/s. 1–CUALIFICAR (GB), 128, c, 3, by Lope De Vega (Ire) 1st Dam: Qualify (Ire) (G1SW-Eng & GSW-Ire, $485,356), by Fastnet Rock (Aus) 2nd Dam: Perihelion (Ire), by Galileo (Ire) 3rd Dam: Medicosma, by The Minstrel O/B-Godolphin; T-Andre Fabre; J-William Buick. €67,830.

    • What Tatura Races Where Tatura & Shepparton Racing Club – 161 Ross St #157, Tatura When Monday, September 8, 2025 First Race 12:55pm AEST Visit Dabble A competitive 10-race meeting is set down for decision at Tatura on Monday as horse racing in Victoria heads to the state’s north. With perfect spring conditions forecast, the Good 4 rating should stick true throughout the afternoon, with the rail in its true position ensuring an ideal day for racing. The Tatura races will commence at 12:55pm AEST. Best Bet at Tatura: Il Cielo Il Cielo finally put it together second-up when breaking his maiden at Wangaratta over 1590m and looks perfectly placed to go on with it in this BM56 mile. From barrier four, Celine Gaudray can have the Ciaron Maher-trained gelding stalking the speed before using his sharp turn of foot to finish over the top late. He carries 61kg but drops from maiden to BM56 grade, and the draw should ensure he gets the cosy run to offset the impost. With even luck, Il Cielo should be winning again. Best Bet Race 8 – #3 Il Cielo (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Celine Gaudray (61kg) Next Best at Tatura: Read My Lips Read My Lips returns to the 1000m with a terrific provincial record and a strong recent profile (two wins and two seconds from his last five). He cops a big weight, but Brittany Button’s 2kg claim helps, and his gate speed means the wide draw is less of a concern around Tatura’s short-course chute. Expect him to ping, control the race, and give a solid kick. He handles all ground and is rock-hard fit, which is the right recipe late in the day. If he finds the fence early, they’ll need to be very good to get past him. Next Best Race 7 – #1 Read My Lips (13) 6yo Gelding | T: George Osborne | J: Brittany Button (a2) (63.5kg) Next Best Again at Tatura: Great Prosperity Great Prosperity brings consistent, honest form to a winnable BM56 and should relish getting to 1450m third-up. He’s drawn awkwardly in 11, but Billy Egan is riding in form and can slide across to land midfield with cover. The Fiorente gelding’s figures on good ground are solid, and he owns a provincial win plus multiple placings at this level. With natural improvement off his first two runs back and a race shape featuring genuine tempo, he looks like the horse charging late that should prove too hard to hold out. Next Best Again Race 9 – #3 Great Prosperity (11) 5yo Gelding | T: Luke Oliver | J: Billy Egan (60.5kg) Monday quaddie tips for Tatura Tatura quadrella selections Monday, September 8, 2024 1-4-6-9 1-2-3 1-2-3-4-7 1-5-6-9-13 Horse racing tips View the full article
