It took 31 years for Hong Kong’s Triple Crown to be won again, but it might only be 12 months until history repeats if Voyage Bubble continues his winning ways. Trainer Ricky Yiu Poon-fai said it was a case of “dreams come true” when his stable star famously completed the rare treble of the Group One Stewards’ Cup (1,600m), Group One Gold Cup (2,000m) and Group One Champions & Chater Cup (2,400m) earlier this year. And after his defiant success in last Sunday’s Group One Hong Kong Mile, snaring...View the full article -

com'on Brodster. Get with the program as TaBman would of said. The last 4 races coming up are at around mile and a half . that's far enough for these horses. Was thinking the Brodster on the money today and just BACK your Boy Carter Dalgety today . Drove the double races 3 and 4 on Polly Grey and that plunge horse winner from Addington in DOVER TERRACE. looked a certainty with the best driver in NZ on it ? only got 13-1 for the double on Sportsbet but beggars can't be choosers . You tipped him as a man to follow and are 100% on the money old mate.👍💰 just gave some back on Suspicious Captain in the 8th just now , but it went ok. was only 3rd best horse as first 2 horses went well clear. Should we get on ANYTIME AT ALL in the last race Methven today ? seems a Huge chance with Carter onboard Brodster. ? should we put a Redback on it ? what's your tip ? -

The Gr.1 TAB Telegraph (1200m) at Trentham in a fortnight has been locked in for First Five (NZ) (Almanzor). The five-year-old gelding was impressive when taking out last Saturday’s Gr.3 J Swap Sprint (1400m) at Te Rapa, and after some contemplation, trainer David Greene believes he deserves a crack at elite-level. “It was a pretty decent field on Saturday, so it was good to see him step-up on the big occasion,” he said. “He has done really well. He cleaned up all of his feed on Saturday night and it hasn’t knocked him around too much. “We will go to the Telegraph now. He has bounced through the race really well, it is a jump up going to weight-for-age, but we just feel that the 1200m at Trentham down the chute, and the way it is a fast, high-pressure race, it often plays out more to a 1400m race, so I thought we might as well give it a go.” Meanwhile, the Te Rapa trainer is looking forward to First Five’s stable and ownership-mate Bethany Dee (NZ) (Embellish) lining up at her home track on Saturday. A half-sister to Group Two winner Magic Carpet (NZ) (Satono Aladdin), Bethany Dee broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at Te Aroha last month, and Greene is hopeful of a similar showing this weekend in the Norwegian Park Mile (1600m). “She has done really well since that win and she is heading into Saturday in pretty good form,” he said. “I think getting onto the better tracks has really helped her out. Both of her runs this time in have been full of merit and getting up to 1600m will be a real sweet spot for her distance-wise. We are hoping for a forward showing.” The daughter of Embellish has drawn the ace marble, by Greene said she will likely be ridden off the speed. “She probably won’t race right up on the speed, but hopefully she will be able to sit midfield without doing too much work,” he said. Her owners will have a two-pronged attack in the race, with one-win gelding Rambling On (NZ) (Almanzor) set to line-up for trainer Andrew Forsman. View the full article -

Gold Coast trainers Tony and Maddy Sears will be hoping talented filly Nightline (NZ) (Redwood) can provide them with back-to-back winners of the Gr.3 Grand Prix Stakes (1800m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday. The father-daughter training combination won last year’s Grand Prix Stakes with Beau Dazzler (NZ) ( Ardrossan), who went on to win the Eagle Way (2100m) and returned to place in the Gr.2 Queensland Guineas (1600m) before an unplaced tilt at the Gr.1 Queensland Derby (2400m). Like Beau Dazzler, Nightline was sourced from the Karaka Sales. The New Zealand bred daughter of Redwood enters Saturday’s contest off the back of a hard-fought victory over race favourite John Dory (NZ) (Ace High) in the City to Surf 3YO (1600m) at Doomben last start. On that occasion Nightline was friendless in betting, sent out a $41 outsider, but got the better of John Dory in the closing stages, with the pair set to clash again this weekend. “She did everything that we thought she would,” Maddy Sears said. “We were a bit wary of the favourite with the form that he brought up from New South Wales, but she has always shown a lot and she’s very talented. “We thought stepping out to the mile would be very beneficial, and so it proved.” Sears compared Nightline favourably to Beau Dazzler. “They are very different horses, but I do believe she’s very talented,” she said. “Without knocking the other horse, I think she’s a lot better horse than Beau Dazzler at this point in their career. “She’s just a lot more tractable. She’s very professional, and I do believe she’s improved since that last outing based on her work leading into Saturday.” Drawn barrier 11, Sears is not concerned by the wide draw. “There’s going to be a couple in it that will naturally be going forward. If she’s just sitting fourth or fifth one-off or even if she’s a little bit further back than that, I don’t think it’s going to be a problem,” Sears said. Like Beau Dazzler, a classic target will be in the crosshairs, with the Gr.1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) in June to be the favoured option. However the Sears haven’t ruled out a trip across the Tasman, with the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld New Zealand Oaks (2400m) worth NZ$1 million and contested at Ellerslie on February 21. “We have spoken about possibly taking her back for the New Zealand Oaks. We’re just taking it race by race at the moment, we will see how she comes through this weekend, and then go from there,” Sears said. “The main goal with her at the moment is the Queensland Oaks, but we do have the New Zealand Oaks as an option, and we have spoken about it.” View the full article
