Rashabar (Ire) rewarded World Pool punters with a Win dividend of 129.90 when landing Tuesday's G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, identifying him as the highest-priced winner of any World Pool race since it was launched in 2019. World Pool paid nearly 50 points more than the 80-1 SP returned by Rashabar, who also helped Billy Loughnane to open up a commanding advantage in the World Pool Jockeys' Championship with his Coventry win. Riding his first Royal Ascot winners this week, Loughnane claimed 129.90 points for his success on Rashabar and a further 19.65 aboard Sandringham winner Soprano (Ire). The leading rider after the final World Pool raceday on British Champions Day at Ascot will receive £50,000 to donate to a charity of their choice. “I'm delighted to be leading the World Pool Jockeys' Championship after Royal Ascot,” said the 18-year-old Loughnane. “Winning the Coventry on Rashabar was a dream come true and then to win the Sandringham on Soprano for George [Boughey] and Highclere was incredible. “It's a great initiative by World Pool to donate £50,000 to charity and if I am still in front on Champions Day, then I'll be donating it to the Christy Lambe Foundation, which is a charity very close to my heart.” Elsewhere at the meeting, Gold Cup Day saw the highest turnover of the week at HK$298.2m (£30.1m)–more than any other World Pool day this year–while pools of at least HK$269.6m (£27.2m) were recorded for each of the five days. Total turnover for World Pool bet types on the week came in at HK$1426.1m (£144m). The highest turnover race of the week was Saturday's G3 Jersey Stakes, which was up on 2023 by 20% to hit HK$52.1m (£5.25m).

Ten horses remain in contention for Sunday's Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby, including six trained by Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle. Only one other Irish trainer, Ger Lyons, has a colt still engaged in the race, while the three potential travellers from Britain are led by the James Fanshawe-trained Ambiente Friendly (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), who was runner-up to City Of Troy in the Derby and has been supplemented for the Irish Classic. “He took Epsom well,” said Fanshawe of his charge who will aim to go one better at the Curragh on Sunday and looks likely to have to reoppose Los Angeles (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), who was over three lengths behind Ambiente Friendly when finishing third at Epsom. “The Derby is a tough race and he lost 9kg but he has put it all back on. He worked last Wednesday and he seems really nice and bright.” There has been much debate as to how to improve the appeal of the Irish Derby, both to connections and racegoers, but Fanshawe was adamant after Epsom that this would be the obvious next step for Bill and Tom Gredley's colt, rather than considering a drop back in trip. He said, “Well, he travelled into the Derby really well and I don't think it was a matter of not staying that got him beaten, and he stayed really well and did a good time at Lingfield on good to firm ground. The Gredleys were keen to go for the Irish Derby as well.” He continued, “Having got him to get into a staying way of thinking, it's nice if we can carry that through. “He has come forward in every way all season, from where we started. He came on for stepping up from nine furlongs to a mile and a half, and switched off well in the Lingfield Derby Trial, and likewise in the Derby. Since the Derby he's been very relaxed about life, and that's a real credit to the team around him at home, and to Andrew Sansome who rides him. They've done a great job with him.” Ambiente Friendly will be a first runner in the Irish Derby for Fanshawe, who has won Group 1 races in Ireland with the top miler Soviet Song (Ire) and Irish St Leger winner Arctic Owl (GB). He has also tasted major international success at the Breeders' Cup with Audarya (Fr) as well as in France with the likes of Speedy Boarding (GB), High Jinx (Ire) and Invermark (GB). “It's great to have a horse like him in the stable,” he added. “It's a cliche but it's what we all do it for, and it keeps Pegasus Stables in lights. You can train lots of winners but to have a really good one like him is in the icing on the cake.” Along with Los Angeles, O'Brien has the Galileo (Ire) colts Agenda (Ire), Chief Little Rock (Ire) and Grosvenor Square (Ire) still engaged in the Irish Derby along with a duo by Galileo's son Frankel (GB) in Euphoric (GB) and The Euphrates (GB). Keeper's Heart (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jan}) is entered for the Ger Lyons stable, while Sunway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) and Matsuri (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), representing David Menuisier and Roger Varian respectively, could travel from England.

4th-CD, $120k, Msw, 2yo, f, 4 1/2, post time: 2:13 p.m. EDT Charlotte Weber's Live Oak Plantation paid $750,000 for AND ONE MORE TIME (Omaha Beach) at last year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale, the priciest filly from her sire's second crop and second-dearest overall from 95 yearlings reported as sold last season. The pedigree has taken off all around it, as, subsequent to the purchase, the filly's half-sister Simply in Front (Summer Front) finished second in Woodbine's GI Natalma S., while Honor D Lady (Honor Code) scooped the GIII Remington Park Oaks before adding this year's GIII Royal Delta S. And One More Time is also kin to Churchtown (Air Force Blue), a stakes winner in 2022. Her third dam is Phipps Grade I luminary Educated Risk (Mr. Prospector). Wayne Lukas trained Super Saks ( Sky Mesa) to a victory in the Carousel Stakes and also conditions her debuting daughter, the $625,000 FTSAUG acquisition Buriana (Justify), for BC Stables. Give Her Another (Tiz the Law) was the sixth most expensive of her sire's 64 first-crop yearlings when hammering to Andrew Farm for $300,000 at Keeneland September last fall. The April foal is out of a winning daughter of two-time Grade I winner Ask The Moon (Malibu Moon), also the dam of MSW/MGSP Belgrano (War Front) and of the Grade III-placed Sundaysatthebeach (Medaglia d'Oro), who is responsible for recent GIII Penn Mile Stakes winner First World War (War Front). Three Chimneys homebred Reliable Source (Volatile) should take some beating and is also well-related, being a half-sister to MGSW Mucho Del Oro (Mucho Macho Man), SW &GISP Funtastic Again (Funtastic) and GSP Lady Glamour (Discreet Cat).

What Happy Valley Races Where Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong When Wednesday, June 26, 2024 First Race 6:40pm HKT (8:40pm AEST) Visit Dabble Hong Kong racing returns to the bright lights of Happy Valley Racecourse on Wednesday evening, with a bumper nine-race program set for decision. The rail is in the C position, and although there are scattered showers on the forecast, a Good 4 track is expected. The action is scheduled to get underway at 6:40pm local time. Best Bet: Packing Hermod The Francis Lui-trained Packing Hermod looks prepared to strike on debut. The son of Rubick has been educated across five barrier trials, with his latest piece of work catching the eye on the all-weather circuit at Sha Tin on May 31. Barrier two should allow Zac Purton to hold a prominent spot throughout the 1200m journey, and although Packing Hermod lacks race-day experience, he should get every chance to make an impression in this Class 4 contest. Best Bet Race 6 – #5 Packing Hermod (2) 3yo Gelding | T: Francis Lui | J: Zac Purton (58kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best: Patch Of Time Patch Of Time held ground when returning from a let-up at Sha Tin on June 8 and should take plenty of benefit from that performance. It was a slowly run affair with nothing able to make ground from towards the rear of the field, leaving the four-year-old flat-footed when trying to get into clear running. This 1650m contest should have a genuine tempo throughout, giving Patch Of Time every chance to burst down the centre of the course under Karis Teetan. Next Best Race 3 – #9 Patch Of Time (2) 4yo Gelding | T: Cody Mo | J: Karis Teetan (54kg) Bet with Bet365 Best Value: Star Line Star Line is yet to bother the judge in seven Hong Kong starts but appears to be building to a peak performance at his third attempt in Class 4 company. The gelding by Dissident had his best showing at Happy Valley on February 28 behind Raging Blizzard, hitting the line well over the 1200m. The step up to 1650m should be ideal, and at a massive price with online bookmakers, Star Line warrants an each-way ticket. Best Value Race 5 – #3 Star Line (2) 3yo Gelding | T: David Hall | J: Keagan De Melo (59.5kg) Bet with Bet365 Happy Valley quadrella selections Wednesday, June 26, 2024 3-5-6-7-9 2-3-5-9-10 1-2-3-5-12 1-7-9-10 Horse racing tips View the full article

What Warwick Farm Races Where Warwick Farm Racecourse – 2 Hume Hwy, Warwick Farm NSW 2170 When Wednesday, June 26, 2024 First Race 12:25pm AEST Visit Dabble Warwick Farm Racecourse is the destination for metro racing on Wednesday afternoon, with a rejigged eight-race program set for decision after Saturday’s postponed meeting at Randwick. The $200,000 Listed Civic Stakes (1400m) headlines the action, with a quality field of 15 engaged. The rail is in the true position all the way around, and with sunny skies forecast in the lead-up, participants can expect a Soft 5 surface for race-day. Civic Stakes Pick: Strait Acer Strait Acer has failed to record a victory in six starts this preparation; however, the Civic Stakes appears to be his best opportunity to break the drought. The son of Headwater struck a deteriorating surface at Doomben in the Group 3 BRC Sprint (1350m) on May 25 and was left flat-footed in the home straight. The Group 1 placegetter gets in well with 57kg on his back, and with Tim Clark likely to slot into the perfect stalking position from barrier four, Strait Acer should get every chance to return to winning ways. Civic Stakes Race 7 – #4 Strait Acer (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Edward Cummings | J: Tim Clark (57kg) +750 with PlayUp Best Bet at Warwick Farm: Tarpaulin Tarpaulin was tested against some the best two-year-olds in the country last preparation. He ran fourth of six runners at Randwick on December 23 behind the likes of Straight Charge and Erno’s Cube, with the son of Harry Angel sticking to the task gamely despite being well beaten by 4.5 lengths. He has caught the eye at the trials since, and with James McDonald drawn to get a soft run from gate one, expect Tarpaulin to prove his class first-up. Best Bet Race 2 – #11 Tarpaulin (1) 2yo Colt | T: James Cummings | J: James McDonald (57kg) +100 with Unibet Next Best at Warwick Farm: Gram The James Cummings-trained Gram returns after 31 weeks off the scene and appears primed to strike first-up. The son of Exceed And Excel was impressive on debut last campaign, managing to find the minor money at Newcastle on November 18 with an explosive finish. His jump-out win at Rosehill on June 11 suggests he’s flying, and although McDonald will need to drag back from barrier 11, watch for this progressive two-year-old to launch down the centre of the course late. Next Best Race 3 – #13 Gram (11) 2yo Colt | T: James Cummings | J: James McDonald (56.5kg) +125 with Bet365 Best Value at Warwick Farm: Space Age Space Age looks set to peak after a bold effort at Randwick on June 8. The European import hit the line well despite the unsuitable conditions, with the four-year-old unable to sprint effectively on the Heavy 9 surface. Getting back on top of the ground should be ideal third-up, and with Molly Bourke taking 3kg off his back as he steps up to the mile for the first time in Australia, Space Age gets his best chance for success since arriving at the Ciaron Maher barn. Best Value Race 5 – #4 Space Age (5) 4yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Molly Bourke (a3kg) (60.5kg) +1600 with Neds Warwick Farm Wednesday quaddie – 26/6/2024 Warwick Farm quadrella selections Wednesday, June 26, 2024 4-8-11-14 4-6-7-8-11 1-4-8-14 1-5-9-16 Horse racing tips View the full article

What Doomben Races Where Doomben Racecourse – 75 Hampden St, Ascot QLD 4007 When Wednesday, June 26, 2024 First Race 11:43am AEST Visit Dabble Queensland racing will return to Doomben Racecourse this Wednesday afternoon for a very competitive nine-race card. The track was rated as a Soft 6 at the time of acceptances; however, with no rain forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, it is expected that the surface will improve before the meeting begins. The rail will be in the +6m position for the entire circuit, with racing set to kick off at 11:43am AEST. Best Bet at Doomben: Matisse Anthony & Sam Freedman will send Matisse to Doomben for her first start in Queensland following a winless maiden preparation in Melbourne. Although the daughter of Microphone is still a maiden, she has Group 2 and Group 3 placings to her name and finished seventh in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes in her most recent start. This assignment will be much easier than her first three starts, and with even luck, Matisse should prove way too good for her rivals. Best Bet Race 2 – #12 Matisse (3) 2yo Filly | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Blake Shinn (56kg) Bet with PlayUp Next Best at Doomben: Malarina Malarina is yet to miss the placings from seven career races, and the Annabel Neasham-trained filly overcame some difficulties in running to produce one of her best performances behind the smart Acid Wash at the Sunshine Coast last start. Jag Guthman-Chester will push forward from barrier 13 to settle behind the speed, and if Malarina shows the same turn of foot as she did last time, she will prove hard to hold out. Next Best Race 9 – #11 Malarina (13) 3yo Filly | T: Annabel Neasham | J: Jag Guthman-Chester (57.5kg) Bet with Neds Next Best Again at Doomben: Steel King Steel King was well backed first-up at this track over 1110m on June 6, running home nicely without threatening the winner to finish third. The son of Deep Field took ground off the winner in the final 100m, however, indicating that a rise in trip second-up should suit. From barrier six, Robbie Dolan can settle midfield off the fence before peeling out wide on the home turn and allowing Steel King to let down with a strong finish.

Alfriston will line up at Cambridge on Wednesday. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Cambridge trainer Chris Wood will have strong chances on the flat and over jumps this week at three different venues. Closer to home, he will be represented by Alfriston on his home synthetic track on Wednesday and by Emmy Dazzler at Thursday’s rescheduled Te Aroha meeting, while Smug will head south to Hastings. The latter has Saturday’s Hawke’s Bay Hurdle (3100m) on his program following a bold showing to finish runner-up in the Waikato Hurdle (3200m). “It was a good run last time and he’s very well, I am very happy with him,” Wood said. Complacent six-year-old Smug has taken well to the jumping game with a win and three placings from seven attempts and finished fourth in last year’s Great Northern Hurdle (4200m). Alfriston has been prominent in both runs this preparation and will benefit from Tayla Mitchell’s 1kg claim. “He races well on the poly tracks and I sent him down to Palmerston North for a couple of runs and he went two good races,” Wood said. “Their circumference isn’t as big as Cambridge and when you get back and loop the field the frontrunners get away down on the inside. “Both times he got home well, but the leaders got away on the turn. He has come through those runs well and I’m very happy with him.” Stablemate Side Eye, also to be ridden by Mitchell, has to up his game. “He has been a bit disappointing, he needs to step up in his next couple of starts or retirement could be looming,” Wood said. “He has done a good job and he also races well here on the track. We’ve had a bit of work done on his back, the chiropractor had a look at him and found him out in a couple of places. “He’s bright and been working well and we’ll take the blinkers off and try a new bridle and see if that helps.” Boxmoss will make his debut and will be partnered by Warren Kennedy, who rode the son of Vadamos when second in a lead-up trial on the course. “He has wanted to work quite strongly and we’ve finally got him to settle a bit,” Wood said. “I said to Warren the other day let him flop out of the gates and find his feet and he ran home strongly.” Kennedy will also be aboard in-form contender Emmy Dazzler at Te Aroha. “She’s come into form and will cope with the track, so she’s a nice chance,” Wood said. The Embellish filly was a strong finishing last-start second over the course and distance to follow up a previous third on her local synthetic track. Meanwhile, Wood has Listed Marton Cup (2200m) winner and Group 3 Wellington Cup (3200m) placegetter Canheroc back in work. “He’s in the stable and looks very good and You Say D’Orsay is back as well,” Wood said. “He’s had two wins and two seconds from four runs and he’s among the nicest lot of young horses I’ve had for a long time, so I’m looking forward to the new season.” Horse racing news View the full article

Shaune Ritchie pictured with Mahrajaan following his victory in last year’s Group 3 New Zealand Cup (3200m). Photo: Race Images South Shaune Ritchie and Colm Murray are hoping a bit of luck can guide their three-year-old contender home on Wednesday at Cambridge’s Synthetic meeting. The local training partnership are co-owners of Eight Lucky Prawns, a son of Rageese who has been defied his breakthrough success by the narrowest of margins in two of his three career starts to date. “His last two runs have been good, he’s really turned a corner since going up to Ruakaka and he needed to,” Ritchie said. “He’s been held up a little bit on the corner in both of his last two starts which has probably cost him the win both times.” Ritchie hopes he can perform for the remainder of the ownership group who combined to purchase him at the 2021 Weanling Sales. “The draw (13) is a nuisance, but the fact that we don’t ride him hard out of the gates means he should get a good track into the race and hopefully, if there’s good pace up front, he should be the horse to beat,” Ritchie said. “We bought him from the weanling sales with my horse dentist, my part-time farrier and a guy who works for Majestic. It was just a few of the boys in a punting syndicate who won six or seven grand, so we went to the sales and bought him. “I dare say the bar will be lit up at my place if the horse can win on Wednesday because it’s a walk home from there.” Michael McNab will return from a week off riding after falling at Te Rapa on June 15 and he will partner Eight Lucky Prawns, while Courtney Barnes takes the reins on Rocket Lad. A five-year-old by Preferment, Rocket Lad has won three of four starts on the poly-track, an affinity he shares with multiple runners in the Rating 75 contest. “He’s got a good reputation on the synthetic, but I was just going through the runners today and of nine runners there are 20 wins on the synthetic between them, so he’s not the only one that fancies the track,” Ritchie said. “He has had the one run back now so he’s still building, but with a bit of natural improvement and stepping out to the 1550, which he has won three-from-three on the track at that distance, he should be hard to beat. “It’s going to be a good competitive race, and a lot of those horses will probably end up in the poly final in a couple of months.” The stable’s remaining runners include Turnmeon, Goldburg, and Evana Trumpalo. “Turnmeon wasn’t finding the line in a few of his races last prep and had been disappointing on the whole, but he’s had a wind surgery and that seems to have sharpened him up,” Ritchie said. “A mile first-up was a bit of an ask after several months away from the races, and he just peaked in the last bit at Ruakaka. 2000m on the poly should be a nice race for him, his ability says that he’s better than this grade so he should be highly competitive. “Goldburg’s form isn’t as bad as it looks, he hasn’t run for a while and he just ran out of form last prep. “He’s got a good record on the poly, and if he can position up fourth or fifth he should get a nice run. He’s probably our best value looking at the odds, and one that should be put in the place multis.” Evana Trumpalot is a half-brother by Tivaci to Catalyst, who won the Group 1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) of 2020. “He’s a real enigma, he’s got a few tricks up his sleeve,” Ritchie said. “He’s shown us a fair bit, and he’s a half to a horse than won the 2000 Guineas so he’s got the pedigree. “I would’ve liked to see him get a softer draw first-up (15), but he doesn’t have any points so he might not get a start in two-week’s time if we don’t run here. He’ll be ridden cold so he’s probably more of a watch than a trust.” Horse racing news View the full article

Trust In You is being set for a potentially lucrative spring campaign. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Group Three winner Trust In You made his first public outing of his preparation at Pukekohe on Tuesday, with trainers Grant Cooksley and Bruce Wallace eyeing a potentially lucrative spring campaign with the rising six-year-old. The son of Sweynesse was one of the top staying performers of the summer, winning the Stayers Championship Final (2400m) and Group 3 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2400m) at Pukekohe on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day respectively, and was runner-up in the Nathans Memorial (2200m) at Ellerslie. He returned to Pukekohe on Tuesday to compete in a pipe-opener over 800m, and Cooksley was satisfied with his fourth placed run. “He just had a run over 800m to bring him on a little bit and he went quite well,” Cooksley said. “He is just getting stronger as he gets older, and he has come back really good, I am quite happy with him.” Spring feature targets await Trust In You, with Sydney being the favoured destination at this stage of his preparation. “We are thinking about going to Sydney for the Metropolitan (Group 1, 2400m), but we will just see how he comes up,” Cooksley said. Trust In You was joined in his heat by new stablemate Meaningful Star, who pleased with his third placed hit-out. The Irish-bred gelding was formerly trained in Hong Kong by Francis Lui, for whom he won four races up to Class 2 level. Cooksley said they are still learning about the son of Pivotal and are yet to map out a spring plan for the horse with an 87 rating. “I don’t know much about the horse,” Cooksley said. “The owner rang us about six or seven months ago, we gave him a bit of work, put him out and have brought him back and gave him a run around (today) to see what he can do. It was quite a good trial. “We have no plans for him at the moment, we will just see what happens.” Meanwhile, promising juvenile So Naïve has returned to work alongside Group Three winner Sacred Satono. “The plan (with Sacred Satono) is to go to the Foxbridge (Group 2, 1200m) and then the first leg at Hastings (Group 1 Tarzino Trophy, 1400m).” Horse racing news View the full article

Dream Winner is a three-time winner in Hong Kong. Dream Winner set the track alight last season with three wins from as many starts and Frankie Lor’s former boom sprinter emerges from the sidelines on Wednesday at Happy Valley. The Exosphere four-year-old won his first three races by nearly 10 lengths combined, before returning this term for five starts – all of which have seen him go unplaced, while his best effort was a close-up fourth behind Group 1 performers Lucky With You and Flying Ace. The 81-rating Dream Winner hasn’t raced since January due to a setback which required remedial surgery and a stint at Conghua. He has trialled twice ahead of his comeback. “He had a knee problem; we removed a chip. It took a long time and he’s since trialled twice at Conghua, but it’s not easy to find a race for him. So, we’ll run him here. He’s raced at Happy Valley once before,” Lor said. Dream Winner (120lb) faces stiff opposition, including the rapidly improving Copartner Prance (128lb), who is in quest of a sixth straight triumph. Superb Capitalist (132lb) is also engaged and chases a streak of his own – three wins in a row. Dream Winner crossed the line first in a recent barrier trial at Conghua over 1000m on turf. “We’ll see how he runs; it’s been a long time since he has raced. He trialled ok at Conghua, but the trials are different to Sha Tin,” Lor said. “I think this horse needs a little bit further. He had gate speed in his first season, so he could win three times over 1000 metres, but I think 1400 metres is his distance.” Seasons Wit (127lb), Gummy Gummy (125lb), Harmony N Blessed (124lb), Copartner Ambition (122lb), Sing Dragon (122lb) and Reward Smile (120lb) also feature. Engaged in an enthralling battle for the 2023/24 trainers’ championship, Pierre Ng takes five runners to Happy Valley as he aims to reinforce his lead over Francis Lui (65-63). Ka Ying Cheer (122lb) headlines the handler’s quintet, drawn sweetly in barrier one with Alexis Badel up. “Hopefully we can sit behind the pace or just roll along with the leader. He’s getting more and more mature,” Ng said. The 63-rater had a short break during this season. He has won once from eight outings and boasts five other top three finishes across his career. “He’s still improving and he’s a bit like Greenwich. We gave him a break in the middle of the season and planned to bring him back out late in the season,” Ng said. Greenwich won last Sunday at Sha Tin after an extended break. Ka Ying Cheer returned in April for three races after last featuring at the end of December, 2023. “Ka Ying Cheer has been running well and he was unlucky last start, especially with that draw (10),” Ng said. Ka Ying Cheer missed by a neck to California Touch last outing. The four-year-old faces formidable opposition, including Kaholo Angel (135lb), Happy Fat Cat (131lb), California Deeply (123lb) and Kyrus Dragon (121lb). Horse racing news View the full article

Nathan Punch after winning at Pakenham on Monday aboard Ellmaknifico. (Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Nathan Punch celebrated his first victory in 22 months on Monday, partnering the Brian McGrath-trained Ellmaknifico to a surprising win at Pakenham. The 29-year-old jockey had faced severe concussion issues, sidelining him from riding between August 2022 and March this year. “It’s been a long journey to get back here, but I’m just glad to get the first one off the back,” Punch told Racing.com. “I reckon I’ve had nearly 50 rides back now, so it’s good to get the first one and Brian’s always been a good supporter of me, so I’m glad to get one for him.” Horse racing news View the full article

There is plenty of excitement surrounding next year’s inaugural NZB Kiwi, which has found its way south to Dunedin. A hospitality package for eight people for the event sold at auction for $15,500 last week at the Dunedin Supper Club, Dunedin’s annual fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). “Supper Club came to me and asked if I could put something together around racing for their fundraiser,” Otago Racing Club president Sharyn Anderton said. “Supper Club run this annually and it is a fundraiser for a Ronald McDonald House to be built in Dunedin. They have been raising the money and they have now bought some land and they are going to proceed to build. “Each year the money goes towards the building of a Ronald McDonald House here in Dunedin, it is a really good cause.” The hospitality package was gifted to the event by Otago Racing Club, in partnership with New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, and Anderton said it was a great result for a worthy cause. “It was lucky enough that I met up with Bruce Sharrock (NZTR chief executive) and Cameron George (former NZTR chairman) when they were down at Wingatui and I said ‘what meeting could we get some tickets to?’ I had the Karaka Millions in my head but they said ‘what about the inaugural slot race in March next year?’, and it has all stemmed from there,” she said. “They (Dunedin Supper Club) were grateful to whatever they were going to get, but it ended up that $15,500 was the second highest price of the night, so they were absolutely thrilled. In comparison, the first prize was a cruise around the Greek Islands that included flights and accommodation, which went for around $28,000.” Otago Racing Club’s fundraising efforts are set to continue next year, with a charitable race day in the works leading up their feature meeting in March. “We have got our Otago Classic Day in March and have seen huge stakes rises for that,” Anderton said. “We have also got in the pipeline an Otago Community Cup Day before that. We haven’t got it across the line yet, but we want to do that for some charitable trusts.” View the full article

Cambridge trainer Chris Wood will have strong chances on the flat and over jumps this week at three different venues. Closer to home, he will be represented by Alfriston (Jukebox) on his home synthetic track on Wednesday and by Emmy Dazzler (NZ) (Embellish) at Thursday’s rescheduled Te Aroha meeting, while Smug (NZ) (Complacent) will head south to Hastings. The latter has Saturday’s Te Whangai Romneys Hawke’s Bay Hurdle (3100m) on his program following a bold showing to finish runner-up in the Waikato Hurdle (3200m). “It was a good run last time and he’s very well, I am very happy with him,” Wood said. Complacent six-year-old Smug has taken well to the jumping game with a win and three placings from seven attempts and finished fourth in last year’s Great Northern Hurdle (4200m). Alfriston has been prominent in both runs this preparation and will benefit from Tayla Mitchell’s 1kg claim in the Shaw’s Wire Ropes Handicap (1300m). “He races well on the poly tracks and I sent him down to Palmerston North for a couple of runs and he went two good races,” Wood said. “Their circumference isn’t as big as Cambridge and when you get back and loop the field the frontrunners get away down on the inside. “Both times he got home well, but the leaders got away on the turn. He has come through those runs well and I’m very happy with him.” Stablemate Side Eye (Sidestep), also to be ridden by Mitchell, runs in the Group One Turf Bar Handicap (1550m) and the five-time winner has to up his game. “He has been a bit disappointing, he needs to step up in his next couple of starts or retirement could be looming,” Wood said. “He has done a good job and he also races well here on the track. We’ve had a bit of work done on his back, the chiropractor had a look at him and found him out in a couple of places. “He’s bright and been working well and we’ll take the blinkers off and try a new bridle and see if that helps.” Boxmoss (NZ) will make his debut in the Manning Investments Ltd (970m) and will be partnered by Warren Kennedy, who rode the son of Vadamos when second in a lead-up trial on the course. “He has wanted to work quite strongly and we’ve finally got him to settle a bit,” Wood said. “I said to Warren the other day let him flop out of the gates and find his feet and he ran home strongly.” Kennedy will also be aboard in-form contender Emmy Dazzler in the Travel Advocates Maiden (1400m) at Te Aroha. “She’s come into form and will cope with the track, so she’s a nice chance,” Wood said. The Embellish filly was a strong finishing last-start second over the course and distance to follow up a previous third on her local synthetic track. Meanwhile, Wood has Listed Marton Cup (2200m) winner and Gr.3 Wellington Cup (3200m) placegetter Canheroc (NZ) (El Roca) back in work. “He’s in the stable and looks very good and You Say D’Orsay is back as well,” Wood said. “He’s had two wins and two seconds from four runs and he’s among the nicest lot of young horses I’ve had for a long time, so I’m looking forward to the new season.” View the full article

Shaune Ritchie and Colm Murray are hoping a bit of luck can guide their three-year-old contender home on Wednesday at Cambridge’s Synthetic meeting. The local training partnership are co-owners of Eight Lucky Prawns (NZ), a son of Rageese who has been defied his breakthrough success by the narrowest of margins in two of his three career starts to date. “His last two runs have been good, he’s really turned a corner since going up to Ruakaka and he needed to,” Ritchie said. “He’s been held up a little bit on the corner in both of his last two starts which has probably cost him the win both times.” The three-year-old will contest The Oaks Stud 1300 on Wednesday, and Ritchie hopes he can perform for the remainder of the ownership group who combined to purchase him at the 2021 Weanling Sales. “The draw (13) is a nuisance, but the fact that we don’t ride him hard out of the gates means he should get a good track into the race and hopefully, if there’s good pace up front, he should be the horse to beat,” Ritchie said. “We bought him from the weanling sales with my horse dentist, my part-time farrier and a guy who works for Majestic. It was just a few of the boys in a punting syndicate who won six or seven grand, so we went to the sales and bought him. “I dare say the bar will be lit up at my place if the horse can win on Wednesday because it’s a walk home from there.” Michael McNab will return from a week off riding after falling at Te Rapa on June 15 and he will partner Eight Lucky Prawns, while Courtney Barnes takes the reins on Rocket Lad (NZ) (Preferment) in the Group One Turf Bar 1500. A five-year-old by Preferment, Rocket Lad has won three of four starts on the poly-track, an affinity he shares with multiple runners in the Rating 75 contest. “He’s got a good reputation on the synthetic, but I was just going through the runners today and of nine runners there are 20 wins on the synthetic between them, so he’s not the only one that fancies the track,” Ritchie said. “He has had the one run back now so he’s still building, but with a bit of natural improvement and stepping out to the 1550, which he has won three-from-three on the track at that distance, he should be hard to beat. “It’s going to be a good competitive race, and a lot of those horses will probably end up in the poly final in a couple of months.” The stable’s remaining runners include Turnmeon (NZ) (Turn Me Loose) in the Garrard’s Horse & Hound (2000m), Goldburg (NZ) (Burgundy) in the Shaw’s Wire Ropes 1300, and Evana Trumpalot (NZ) (Tivaci) in the Ascot Farm 1300. “Turnmeon wasn’t finding the line in a few of his races last prep and had been disappointing on the whole, but he’s had a wind surgery and that seems to have sharpened him up,” Ritchie said. “A mile first-up was a bit of an ask after several months away from the races, and he just peaked in the last bit at Ruakaka. 2000m on the poly should be a nice race for him, his ability says that he’s better than this grade so he should be highly competitive. “Goldburg’s form isn’t as bad as it looks, he hasn’t run for a while and he just ran out of form last prep. “He’s got a good record on the poly, and if he can position up fourth or fifth he should get a nice run. He’s probably our best value looking at the odds, and one that should be put in the place multis.” Evana Trumpalot is a half-brother by Tivaci to Catalyst (NZ) (Darci Brahma), who won the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) of 2020. “He’s a real enigma, he’s got a few tricks up his sleeve,” Ritchie said. “He’s shown us a fair bit, and he’s a half to a horse than won the 2000 Guineas so he’s got the pedigree. “I would’ve liked to see him get a softer draw first-up (15), but he doesn’t have any points so he might not get a start in two-week’s time if we don’t run here. He’ll be ridden cold so he’s probably more of a watch than a trust.” View the full article

Civic Stakes contender Tamerlane. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) A black-type winter Wednesday at Warwick Farm is unusual for punters, but the rescheduling of the feature race from last Saturday’s washed-out meeting at Randwick presents a prime opportunity for favourite backers and trainer James Cummings. The well-backed favourite, Tamerlane, is set to contest the Listed Civic Stakes (1400m). Topweight of 59.5 kilograms poses a challenge as James McDonald takes the reins for the first time since Tamerlane finished fourth in Group 2 Damien Oliver (1400m) at Flemington in November. Despite this, Tamerlane has firmed from +300 with horse racing bookmakers on Monday, aiming for his first win in three outings since winning The Buffering (1350m) at Doomben on December 30. “He has drawn ideally in barrier one and strips much fitter now. He looks well-placed here and should prove hard to beat,” Cummings said. Tamerlane’s nearest rival in the betting is the Joe Pride-trained Estadio Mestalla at +400.

Ryan Maloney will partn Bella Nipotina in Saturday’s Group 1 Tatts Tiara. (Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Ryan Maloney has secured the prestigious ride on the star mare Bella Nipotina for Saturday’s Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara (1400m) at Eagle Farm. Since March last year, only three jockeys have ridden the $10 million earner in races, with Maloney joining the ranks of Ben Melham, John Allen, and regular rider Craig Williams. Williams will be absent this weekend due to his latest humanitarian mission in Ukraine. Trainer Ciaron Maher, who recently teamed up with Maloney for a stunning win in the Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) with rank outsider Socks Nation, is optimistic about their chances in the fillies and mares feature, the final Group 1 race of the season. “We’ve had a long association with Ryan and he’s riding in great form, there is no one better up there,” Maher told Racing.com.

8th-Horseshoe Indianapolis, $32,000, Msw, 6-24, 2yo, f, 7 1/2fT, 1:32.71, fm, 2 1/4 lengths. TIGERISH (f, 2, Tiz the Law–Lerici, by Woodman) kicked home nicely once produced by Declan Cannon to become the second winner for her first-crop sire (by Constitution). Away alertly from gate five, the $25,000 KEESEP yearling settled between horses in the second flight through the opening five furlongs. Finding plenty when popped the question turning for home, Tigerish exchanged a sound bump with an outside rival in upper stretch and showed a nice turn of foot thereafter to score convincingly. That Tigerish might excel on the grass is no real surprise, as she is kin to three full stakes winners on the surface: Avenge (War Front), MGISW, $868,341; Liguria (War Front), GSW, $242,200; and Lira (Giant's Causeway), MSW & GSP, $163,669, in turn the dam of turf SW Lia Marina (Uncle Mo). Tigerish is also related to Pistoletto (War Front), GSP-Eng, SP-Ire, $151,566. The most recent produce from Lerici is a yearling colt by Uncle Mo and she most recently visited Practical Joke. Sales history: $25,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $19,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart. O-Christian & Isabol Hays and Eddie Kenneally; B-Newstead Corp (KY); T-Eddie Kenneally. Tiz the Law's 2 year olds continue to show promise, as Tigerish makes a roaring debut at @HSIndyRacing. The 2YO filly, trained by Eddie Kenneally, won on first performance under jockey Declan Cannon.

A relentless stretch of heat and humidity gave way to at least slightly cooler and less sultry conditions Monday morning as the under-tack preview took place for Tuesday's Fasig-Tipton Midlantic June Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium. From an original catalogue of 80 juveniles, some 65 horses were set to go under the hammer beginning at 2 p.m. ET Tuesday afternoon. While the numbers may not be quite as robust as officials at the auction house might prefer–the inaugural June Sale in 2023 attracted a catalogue of 99 horses–there remains confidence that the diversity will appeal to a wide array of horsepeople. “That's kind of my go-to line is that this location always gets something for everybody,” said Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Director of Sales Paget Bennett. “We even have a couple of Indiana-breds, so with Pennsylvania-bred and -sired and Maryland Million, the New York-breds never go out of favor, so it's truly a sale where there is definitely something for everybody.” It was one of those regionally bred juveniles that emerged front and center during Monday's breeze-ups, as hip 4, a New Jersey-bred colt by freshman sire of the moment Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}), was one of two horses to go :10 flat for an eighth of a mile over the conventional dirt surface at Timonium. “The expectations were very high for this guy coming into the sale,” said Marcus Ryan, who consigns hip 4 with his wife Crystal through their Mason Springs agency. “He's a seriously, seriously fast horse, he really did it effortlessly galloping out. He had the second-fastest gallop-out on the day. He came back home, walked around the shedrow about 10 times and he had cooled out. He's a very fit horse.” Bred by Gregory Kilka, the co-breeder of recent New Jersey-bred GI Woody Stephens Stakes winner Book'em Danno (Bucchero), hip 4 hails from the family of seven-time Grade I winner Sharp Cat and her Group 1-winning half-brother Royal Anthem. Purchased for $77,000 as a short-yearling at the 2023 Fasig-Tipton February Sale, the Vekoma colt changed hands for $60,000 at the Fasig-Tipton July Sale. He was most recently bought back on a bid of $55,000 at the OBS April Sale. “He was slightly immature at that time and it was a great thing that they pulled him back,” Ryan said. “They believed in him. He came up from Tradewinds down there and they've always believed in him a lot. He's a May horse and put on a load of weight.” With two new winners on Sunday, Vekoma sits atop the freshman sire table with eight individual winners. Sharing the furlong bullet was hip 61, a James Layden-consigned filly by Country House–Bud's Little Edge (Valid Expectations) (video). Three horses bred in New York stopped the clock in :21.4 for a quarter-mile Monday morning: Tiz the Law filly (hip 16); hip 56, a gelding by Central Banker; and hip 58, a gelding by Solomini. Each of the three is consigned by Wes Carter, the first on behalf of Lemon Creek Farm and the others for Crossed Sabres Farm. “As the under-tack show proved today, we have some very nice, useful horses in the barn area here, we just wish we had more of them,” Bennett admitted. “We just have to do the best with what we have and we have some lovely horses here, so hopefully people find something that works out for them and goes on to be a star.” Last year's first-of-its-kind June Sale saw four horses sell for six-figure pricetags, topped by a Kantharos filly that was knocked down to Steve Young, agent, for a salestopping $500,000. Overall, 57 horses sold for $2.509 million, an average of $44,018 and median of $27,000. There were 22 reported buybacks.

G2 King Edward VII Stakes winner Calandagan (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) will likely get a break after his exploits at Royal Ascot. Since he is ineligible for some French Group 1 races after being gelded–namely the G1 Grand Prix de Paris and the G1 Arc de Triomphe–trainer Francis-Henri Graffard is in no rush to plot what the next assignment will be for the multiple Group winner. “We know how hard it is to be competitive and win at Ascot, so we are delighted with this win of course,” Graffard said. “He can't run in the Grand Prix de Paris and Arc de Triomphe. We will see where we go next. He came out of the race well but he probably needs a little bit of a break now.” It is a similar situation for G1 French 1,000 Guineas winner Rouhiya (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), but in the filly's case, it'll be in the hopes of diagnosing what went wrong with her non-effort at Ascot. She trailed home last of nine in the G1 Coronation Stakes. “We have to find out what went wrong. I have my idea behind my back, in my head, but she didn't run a minute–too bad to be true. I don't know where she will go next. I want to find out what went wrong.” Another runner in the yard does have future targets, however, as Graffard hinted that G3 Prix d'Hedouville winner Goliath (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger) could be returning to Britain for the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes July 27 at Ascot after his runner-up effort to Isle of Jura (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) in the G2 Hardwicke Stakes. “Goliath is a horse I've always liked. He's quite difficult to manage during the race. He pulled too much again on Saturday but he was a comfortable second. He came out well and can even return in the King George. It's a thing we can look at with the owner but he's a nice horse and we are pleased with the track.” The post Graffard In No Rush with Calandagan appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
