By Jonny Turner What should happen at Winton on Saturday is no guarantee. That’s hardly news for any harness racing tragic or casual follower ahead of Captainshavtime approaching her second career start. The two-year-old impressed in her debut on the same track earlier this month when running third in Group 2 company behind the highly talented Captains Mistress. That looks incredible form to bring to a maiden assignment and while trainer Brett Gray is hopeful his filly can run up to her form, he isn’t thinking Captainshavtime is a past the post proposition. “She is a lovely filly and it was a nice run first up,” Gray said. “She probably just lacked having the racing the two that beat her home had, but she went nice.” “It is a different ball game racing the older horses, it’s not easy for a two-year-old filly.” “But her work this week has been good and she has a good draw (3) to work with.” Gray rates another ‘havtime’ horse as one of the stronger hopes among the big team he starts at Saturday’s Wairio meeting. Wehavtime meets an even line up of maidens after taking on stronger fields in the past. “He’s a good chance, I think he is one of our better chances on Saturday,” Gray said. Joes Rock will have her finale for the Gray stable in race 8 at Winton ahead of her upcoming move to the North Island. The four-year-old moves into grade racing after racing in mares events throughout summer and autumn. “She has been a great mare for us,” Gray said. “Her last start was a little bit disappointing but the three horses that went forward early all finished in behind them in that race.” “It is drop back for her, but in saying that there are still some handy horses in it.” Gray stablemates Hayley Jaccka and Stillyourshot clash in race 9 on Saturday and both are rated eachway chances. “Stillyourshot looks a good eachway chance, he just needs a bit of luck from one on the second row.” “Hayley Jaccka has a tough draw (8) but she has a bit of upside to her, she should be running on pretty well.” Two ‘Jaccka’ horses also step out for the Gray team at Winton on Saturday. “Connie Jaccka has the ability to go a handy race, it is just a matter of which Connie Jaccka turns up on the day.” “Jaccka Bayliss has been improving and if he keeps doing that he won’t far away.” View the full article -

The racing industry is mourning the death of training great Dave O’Sullivan, 90, following his passing on Friday. David John O’Sullivan, OBE and New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame member, first made his mark as a jockey before increasing weight forced his hand to take up training in 1961. From humble beginnings he established Wexford Stables as a force throughout New Zealand, in Australia and as far afield as Japan where he and his sons – training partner Paul and stable jockey Lance – were to share in the crowning glory of victory with Hall of Fame racemare Horlicks in the 1989 Japan Cup. Tough times shared with his wife Marie and backed by a fastidious approach exemplified by the O’Sullivan motto “Even if a horse isn’t the best in the race, it should still look the best”, he forged an outstanding career underlined by 1,877 wins by the time he retired in 1998. O’Sullivan’s first major win was the 1973 Hawke’s Bay Guineas with Oopik, who was to add the 1976 Sydney Cup, the first of many major wins in Australia. Countless notable performers both at home and in Australia included Hall of Fame sprinter Mr Tiz, Waverley Star, Surfers Paradise, Shivaree, Blue Denim and Miltak. Known universally by his initials DJ, he won his first trainer’s premiership with 62 wins in the 1978-79 season and added another 11 titles in partnership with his son Paul, who was to become the first New Zealander to be granted a licence by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. O’Sullivan and his champion jockey son Lance were honoured for their respective achievements as inaugural New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame inductees in 2006, and were joined by Paul and the O’Sullivan-mentored Mike Moroney in the 2023 Hall Of Fame inductees’ draft. Fellow Hall of Fame trainer Jim Gibbs, a contemporary of O’Sullivan during his many years training in Matamata, is one of many paying tribute to the much-admired trainer. “DJ got his licence about 18 months before me and although we were both very competitive, we became good friends,” Gibbs said. “He was an outstanding horseman with a huge work ethic and attention to detail, and he can take credit for raising the bar for the rest of us. “He dragged me up to improve and I have to say I was lucky to be training in the same era.” Having celebrated his 90th birthday late last year, O’Sullivan’s health deteriorated recently and he passed away at his Matamata home in the company of family members. “Dad would be the first to admit he had a wonderful life,” his son Lance said. “He was a world-class horse trainer and highly competitive, but most of all for us, he was a wonderful family man. “He worked hard and expected others to as well, but he was always very fair. I would describe him as one of the last living legends of the old school.” O’Sullivan’s funeral will be held at 11:30am this coming Thursday, May 2, at the Church of the Holy Angels in Matamata.
