After beginning her career in the amateurs, Emily Woller broke into the apprentice jockey ranks in style when riding her first winner aboard Quid at Trentham on Saturday. Waikato-based Woller had her first raceday ride as an amateur twelve months ago, and with another year of experience under her belt, took her first ride as a licensed apprentice for her mentor Clinton Isdale at Ellerslie last month. “It didn’t feel like as much of a step-up for me which was quite good, I got to have the basics of race riding in the amateurs,” Woller said. “It is a bit more competitive now with the whip use.” She picked up a second placing on another of Isdale’s contingent Pontardawe during April but headed to Trentham in pursuit of an elusive win partnering Kevin Myers’ five-year old, who was on debut and the outsider at $54. The early part of the race didn’t go as she had planned with Quid travelling wide near the tail of the field into the first bend, but he travelled kindly along the back straight as stablemate Winewomenandsong controlled the pace up-front. Quid tracked the widest again turning for home as the field fanned across the track, the long Trentham straight playing in his favour as the gelding wound up strongly down the outer and chased down Paradis, taking the win by a long neck. Woller was thrilled to collect her first success and expressed her gratitude to Myers post-race. “It was lovely, he just travelled up really nicely and I’m very grateful to Kevin for putting me on. He’s a nice horse,” she said. “I was a bit worried being wide, but I found some cover, and as soon as he straightened up he dug really deep.” The 17-year-old was born in Wanganui and returned to the River City recently to gain some experience under Myers, who rewarded her with the ride aboard the son of Rios. “I just thought I’d come down and get some more experience somewhere different, and I’m really loving it down here,” Woller said. “I grew up riding ponies all my life, and my sister was working as ground staff for Shelley Houston, so I went in one day to help out and I haven’t looked back since. “I went from Shelley’s to Clinton Isdale, and he mentioned about me getting my license, so we got onto that and here I am now.” Myers also spoke after Woller’s win, indicating Quid may commence his career over fences sooner rather than later, following in the footsteps of full-brother Lochwinnoch and half-brother Yardarm, the latter a former winner of the Hawke’s Bay Steeplechase (4800m) and Wellington Steeplechase (5500m). “It was good for her (Woller), she was lucky to be on this horse as she was a bit overweight but she’s done the work at home over the past week, so we’ve given her the chance,” Myers said. “The Wallace’s (owners) sit back and wait for their horses (to mature), but he’s gone well at the jumping trials. He’ll probably go over the jumps next weekend.” View the full article

Warrnambool trainer Symon Wilde is going to do something this week he hasn’t done for a long time and send a horse to race in Queensland, with Navy King (NZ) (US Navy Flag) to fly to Brisbane on Tuesday ahead of Saturday’s Gr.1 Queensland Derby (2400m). Wilde campaigned Baughurst and Hissing Sid in Brisbane 15 years ago but hasn’t been back with a runner since then. That’s all about to change though, after Navy King impressed connections with his last-start victory at Flemington, convincing them to pay the late nomination fee for Saturday’s $1 million contest. “We were taken by his win at Flemington. I just thought it might be a good time to go with a late three-year-old that I thought was quite impressive,” Wilde explained. “It’s a little bit of a roll of the dice, but I think it’s well worth doing since he’s won enough money to warrant doing it. It would be mad not to, he’s lovely and sound, there’s no problems with him, he just seems to be in red-hot form at the moment. “We just thought, why not?” Wilde revealed that he’d booked Craig Williams for the ride and emphasized the significance of the barrier draw for Navy King’s Derby hopes. “I think it’s pretty vital, he just needs to draw between one and six,” Wilde said. “If he draws down where we can get cover, I think that’s the key to him. He’s got cover quite easily from barrier one at Flemington the other day, that was the big difference. He switched off beautifully and then had a nice turn of foot. “We’ll be really praying that we draw well because I think that will be really vital for him, if he can just get that cover, he’ll switch off. I don’t think that he’ll have a problem with the 2400m if he does switch off ok.” Wilde has given Navy King some experience of galloping right-handed ahead of his trip to Queensland this week. “We’ve galloped him twice the reverse way,” he said. “Warrnambool were great, they let us on the course proper on Saturday and he had a little roll around right-handed and then again this morning at Terang, so he’s done two gallops, which I think is ideal.” Navy King is at $15 in Sportsbet’s market for the Queensland Derby. A son of The Oaks Stud stallion U S Navy Flag, Navy King was bred by Cambridge Stud owners Brendan and Jo Lindsay. The dam of Navy King is the O’Reilly mare Eliza Blues (NZ), who won two races and was runner-up behind Quintessential (NZ) (Fast N’ Famous) in the Gr.1 Queensland Oaks (2400m) in 2012.

Trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr are hoping their Gr.1 South Australia Derby (2500m) runner-up Warmonger (NZ) (War Decree) can go one better when he heads to Eagle Farm on Saturday to contest the Gr.1 Queensland Derby (2400m). Kent believes there is further improvement from the New Zealand-bred son of War Decree ahead of his Brisbane assignment this weekend. “I think his pattern where he has been getting back and running on, if there’s any silver lining from that, is that he’s been pulling up super from those races,” Kent told Racing.com. “He’s still got plenty of petrol left in the tank and he’s been thriving since Adelaide. He’s put on weight, muscle and just maintained his summer coat. “He had two Brisbane-way gallops on the grass before he left, and I think the horse is flying. “So, now we just have a pretty easy week leading in. Blake Shinn takes the ride and I think he’ll run super; I really think he will.” Kent said Warmonger has settled in well in Queensland. “He travelled up there on Tuesday, he went up there with about 15 horses and arrived there in beautiful condition,” he said. “He’s coped with the travel really well. He hasn’t had a gut-busting run all preparation. “The way he’s been coming out of the gates and dawdling out is that he is just hitting the line with gusto and coming out of the race feeling good about himself. “You don’t want to reinvent the horse, but you want him to be in touch. “It would have been okay last time (in the South Australian Derby) had they gone along faster. I should have read the play better. As soon as Air Assault got the lead, he dropped anchor. They were fearful he wouldn’t stay and went 14 (seconds) to the furlong. “We took blinkers off in an effort to make him jump better and settle better, and he raced tractably, so that’s staying off, we’re not touching with his gear. “If we can draw a middle gate, settle midfield on a big track like Eagle Farm, it should be a really nice race for him.” Out of the winning Savabeel mare Princess Sapphire, Warmonger was bred by Kevin Hickman and sold as a yearling for $75,000 before being presented at New Zealand Bloodstock’s 2022 Ready To Run Sale by Prima Park. Riccarton trainer Shane Kennedy went to $165,000 to secure the youngster, having prepared his Almanzor half-sister Blue Solitaire to finish third behind Legarto in the Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m).

What Canterbury Races Where Canterbury Park Racecourse – King St, Canterbury NSW 2193 When Wednesday, May 29, 2024 First Race 1pm AEST Visit Dabble Canterbury Park Racecourse will host a competitive seven-race program on Wednesday afternoon from 1pm local time. The rail is out +6m for the entire circuit, and despite being rated a Soft 6 surface on Monday, sunny skies in the lead-up should leave participants racing on a genuine Good 4. Check out all our best bets and quaddie numbers below. Best Bet at Canterbury: Eraantyva Eraantyva couldn’t have been more impressive when dispatching her rivals by 1.3 lengths at Gosford on May 16. She swooped from near last to secure her maiden victory, with the daughter of Zoustar ridden cold before bursting over the top. She can sit closer to the speed this time from gate one, and provided she’s come on from that second-up performance, Eraantyva will prove hard to hold out as she steps into BM64 company. Best Bet Race 3 – #11 Eraantyva (1) 3yo Filly | T: Chris Waller | J: Tommy Berry (58kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best at Canterbury: Fair Maiden Fair Maiden caught the eye in two recent barrier trials at Warwick Farm and looks primed for a first-up assault. The Gary Portelli-trained filly wasn’t asked for much at the jump-outs, cruising through the wire under her own steam in both. Nash Rawiller can hold a position closer than mid-field from barrier three, and provided Fair Maiden can shift through the gears in the final 400m, she should give a good account of herself on debut. Next Best Race 1 – #2 Fair Maiden (3) 3yo Filly | T: Gary Portelli | J: Nash Rawiller (58kg) Bet with PlayUp Best Value at Canterbury: Presser Presser heads to Sydney for the first time after being transferred to the Matthew Smith barn. The son of Press Statement was a consistent type for the Archie Alexander stable, securing three victories across his 12 starts. His recent work at Warwick Farm on May 21 was excellent despite being defeated by 2.1 lengths, and with this BM72 lacking depth, Presser looks perfectly placed to add a fourth win to the tally. Best Value Race 5 – #3 Presser (2) 5yo Gelding | T: Matthew Smith | J: Dylan Gibbons (60kg) Bet with Neds Wednesday Canterbury quaddie picks – 29/5/2024 Canterbury Park quadrella selections Wednesday, May 29, 2024 1-3 1-2-3-6-10 3-5-8-11 1-2-3-5-7-12 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips

A nightmare start for the Smithies family with Tactless’ breeding career has turned full circle following the emergence of high-class filly Scarlet Oak. Under their Monovale Holdings banner, they purchased the well-related broodmare in foal to Kermadec at the Inglis Digital Sale in 2020 and the result of that mating was Saturday’s impressive Gr.2 The Roses (2000m) winner. Scarlet Oak’s progress has provided significant compensation for an early setback following the loss of the mare’s next foal by Street Boss. “That was so heart breaking, he was a belting colt and one of our stand outs,” Max Smithies said. “He had an x-ray issue that we unfortunately couldn’t get right, he had a serious infection as a foal in his hock. “It was a big loss, but she’s got a nice Contributer yearling that we’ll be looking to sell and has a weanling colt by Tarzino.” Tactless is now in foal to Deep Impact’s Group One-winning son Profondo and breeding plans for later this year will be firmed up after Scarlet Oak runs in the upcoming Gr.1 Queensland Oaks (2200m). “We’re still working out where the mare will go this year. We’ll wait and see what happens in two weeks before we make a decision on that,” Smithies said. A daughter of Commands, Tactless is a half-sister to the Gr.1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) winner and sire Complacent and was secured by Monovale for A$10,000. “We liked the pedigree and always liked Kermadec so we thought she was pretty good buying,” Smithies said. “We liked the look of her from all the photos and spoke to the vendor, so we got a good feel for her. “We thought she was relatively cheap to access a good pedigree like that.” Scarlet Oak was originally destined to be sold at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale but luck of the draw, or bad luck in this case, resulted in her being withdrawn. “What happened was that she was prepped really well by Ross MacKay of Leanach Lodge and she was Lot 1 at Karaka,” Smithies said. “We felt that she wouldn’t get what she deserved, we always really liked her and based on that we were happy to push on and take her to the next stage. “It’s okay if you’re Lot 1 with a really big hitter, but when it’s a middle market horse it can be a bit risky to be right at the start of the sale and we thought she was better than that.” Scarlet Oak was subsequently placed with trainers Ken and Bev Kelso and following a debut victory at Matama in March was sold to clients of Chris Waller’s stable. “There are so many what ifs in racing, but we’re in the business of breeding and selling horses and we hope that they can go on and perform at the elite level,” Smithies said. “She’s ticking all the right boxes, so we’ve certainly got no hard feelings and hope she goes right on with it, that’s for sure.” Scarlet Oak has won two of her three Australian starts and finished runner-up in the Gr.3 James Carr Stakes (1400m). She currently heads the Queensland Oaks market as a $3.20 favourite. View the full article

Dual license holder Shaun Fannin had a weekend to remember, training a double at Trentham on Saturday with Hazel Schofer, before jumping in the saddle at Woodville on Sunday to guide Champion jumper West Coast to victory. “It was a wonderful weekend and hopefully we can get a few more like that,” he said. Opawa Scarlett kicked off proceedings at Trentham when taking out the Lisa Latta Racing 1300 on debut by a long neck over the Bill Thurlow-trained Steal My Thunder. “It was a really tough win,” Fannin said. “She has always shown a lot and we thought she would be hard to beat. There was just a question mark over the really heavy track at Trentham and we thought she might be better on a better track. It was pleasing to see that she got through it well enough, and she stuck her neck out and really wanted to win. “I think we will just back off Opawa Scarlett, I think she might be a nice mare in the spring when she gets out over a mile to 2000m.” Later on the card, recent stable acquisition Farrenc improved on her first-up placing when taking out the Manawatu ITM Steeplechase Day Tomorrow At Woodville 1200 by a head over Super Time. “We haven’t had the mare very long in our stable. She came to us a happy horse and she loved the heavy track there, stuck her neck out and wanted to win as well, so that was pleasing to see,” Fannin said. “She seems to like those wet tracks and I might find a nice 75 rating race for her in the next few weeks.” Closer to his Awapuni base on Sunday, Fannin jumped back in the saddle at Woodville aboard Mark Oulaghan’s champion jumper West Coast, who once again showed his tenacity when beating Izymydaad by a neck in the LJ Hooker Manawatu Steeplechase (4000m). With training becoming more of a priority for Fannin of late, he has made a conscious decision to reduce his riding commitments but has maintained his association with West Coast. “I make an exception to ride such a good horse as him,” Fannin said. “It was wonderful to see him back carrying such a big weight. “He definitely hasn’t gone backwards, I think he has come back the same as he was last season. “He got back and relaxed nicely and came into the race when I asked, and he showed that usual fight that he always does. He seems like an old marvel, he comes back just as well every year. “You always get excited when you know he is going somewhere and have the opportunity to ride him. It definitely makes it more exciting for the winter looking forward.” Fannin now has 12 training wins for the season, bettering his previous best mark of 10 last term, and with two months to go in the season he is hoping he can extend that margin. “We are trying to work hard and do the best for all the horses and try and place them as best we can,” he said. “It is nice to see we are getting some results now, which is very pleasing.” View the full article

Tayla Melvin had an afternoon to remember at Pukekohe Park on Saturday, riding her first winner in the saddle aboard the Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson-trained Devoted. The 21-year-old is apprenticed to the Te Akau Racing trainers and made her raceday debut aboard the stable’s mare Polly Plum in mid-April at Matamata, finishing third. With a further nine raceday rides under her belt, Melvin combined with the son of Contributer in the TAB NZ 2100, where he was rated a $16.30 chance after finishing strongly last-start for fourth under the young hoop at Rotorua. Devoted jumped fairly away from barrier seven and Melvin allowed the six-year-old to settle back at the tail of the 14-horse field, sitting three-wide in the heavy conditions. The gelding was travelling better than most turning for home, sweeping to the extreme outside and running down Charlbury to score by a neck at the post. Melvin was elated after the victory, which follows an extensive list of Te Akau apprentices to salute on raceday including Daniel Stackhouse, Vinnie Colgan, Opie Bosson and Troy Harris. “It’s good to finally get the monkey off my back this early in my career, it’s pretty good,” she said. “I probably rode him a bit further back than I had anticipated, but he’s the kind of horse that switches off and relaxes in behind midfield. “When he came into the home straight, he let down really nicely. “I did think it might be coming (the win), but I didn’t want to get too confident.” While Melvin didn’t initially have a career in horses in mind, she ended up working for Wingatui couple Terry and Debbie Kennedy, and a move to Matamata soon provided an opportunity to start an apprenticeship. “I said to myself when I left school that I didn’t want to pursue a career in horses, but here I am,” she said. “I’m originally from down south in Mosgiel, and I was based with Terry and Debbie Kennedy down there. “I started with Te Akau about a year ago, and Mark offered for me to stay and do my apprenticeship with him, so I haven’t looked back since.” Walker was full of praise for Melvin, while indicating a future over the fences is a possibility for her winning mount. “She’s an important part of the team, rides beautiful track work, and all the staff will be rapt for her,” he said. “She’s been getting better in every ride since starting off last month and her fitness is continuing to improve. I think she’s got a bright future. “And the horse, Devoted, he’s continuing to furnish and mature, although it has taken time, and he could develop into a really nice steeplechaser.” Devoted was purchased by Te Akau principal David Ellis at the 2019 Karaka Yearling Sales, out of co-breeder Mapperley Stud’s draft for $50,000. The gelding has won four races and $72,842 in stakes from 33 attempts for the Te Akau Cartography Syndicate. View the full article

Luke Nolen is back as I Wish I Win’s (NZ) (Savabeel) rider in Saturday’s Gr.1 Kingsford-Smith Cup (1300m) at Eagle Farm. Nolen has missed riding the Group One star at both runs this campaign, but has re-claimed the ride from James McDonald, who is unavailable due to his commitments around Hong Kong star Romantic Warrior in Japan on Sunday. Nolen has ridden I Wish I Win in eight of his 11 Australian starts but lost the ride first-up this campaign in the Gr.1 T J Smith Stakes (1200m) following injuries incurred from a trackwork fall. McDonald retained the ride when I Wish I Win was nosed out in the last stride by Bella Nipotina in the Gr.1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m) earlier this month. Sportsbet has I Wish I Win marked the $3.60 favourite ahead of Victorian mare Magic Time at $6. Moody holds the key to both Group One races in Brisbane on Saturday as aside from I Wish I Win’s attempt on the Kingsford-Smith Stakes, he will saddle the filly Autumn Angel in the Queensland Derby.

Deserving 1-9 favorite Adare Manor (Uncle Mo–Brooklynsway, by Giant Gizmo) returned to her court and took home her second consecutive GII Santa Margarita S. at 'The Great RIP' on Sunday afternoon. A multiple grade I stakes winner who last out conquered Oaklawn Park's GI Apple Blossom H. in April, grabbed the lead from the bell and never looked back. Going along effortlessly up the backstretch and into the far turn, she won geared down over Coffee in Bed (Curlin). Adare Manor is the first to pull off the Apple Blossom-Santa Margarita double in the same season since Horse of the Year Zenyatta (Street Cry {Ire}). The final running time was 1:50.86. Lifetime Record: 17-9-5-0. Sales History: $180,000 '20 FTKFEB; $375,000 '21 OBSOPN. O-Michael Lund Petersen; B-Town & Country Horse Farms, LLC & Gary Broad; T-Bob Baffert.

What Kembla Grange Races Where Kembla Grange Racecourse – Princes Highway, Kembla Grange NSW 2526 When Tuesday, May 28, 2024 First Race 12:35pm AEST Visit Dabble NSW racing heads to Kembla Grange on Tuesday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-race program set for decision. The rail is out +6m for the entire circuit, and although the surface is rated a Soft 5 as of Monday, a favourable forecast in the lead-up should mean an upgrade into the Good range prior to the opening event at 12:35pm AEST. Best Bet: Monte Kate Monte Kate was unable to cling to victory at this course and distance on May 18, but she looks perfectly placed to make amends in this Class 1 contest. The daughter of I Am Invincible attempted making every post winner last start but faded late due to the testing Heavy surface. Getting back on top of the ground should be ideal, and with Tommy Berry taking the reins this time, watch for Monte Kate to boot clear with the prize. Best Bet Race 4 – #5 Monte Kate (7) 3yo Filly | T: Robert & Luke Price | J: Tommy Berry (57.5kg) +200 with Bet365 Next Best: Vanquished Vanquished steps back significantly in grade after a bold display at Randwick on May 15. The gelding by Vancouver tried to lead all the way on the Kensington circuit but gave way due to a lack of fitness first-up in Heavy conditions. This Class 1 should prove far more manageable for the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained three-year-old, and with some upside compared to a few key rivals, Vanquished will prove hard to hold out. Next Best Race 2 – #1 Vanquished (3) 3yo Gelding | T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | J: Jean Van Overmeire (61.5kg) +260 with Unibet Next Best Again: Goodlucktome Goodlucktome appears to have a stack of ability heading into his debut for the Ciaron Maher barn. The son of Written Tycoon has won back-to-back barrier trials, with the latest piece of work at Rosehill on May 17 catching the eye as he cruised through the wire under his own steam. Jason Collett may be forced to drag back from barrier 11, but with plenty of time to wind up, watch for Goodlucktome to power over the top. Next Best Again Race 3 – #8 Goodlucktome (11) 2yo Colt | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Jason Collett (56.5kg) +300 with Neds Tuesday Kembla Grange quaddie picks – 28/5/2024 Kembla Grange quadrella selections Tuesday, May 28, 2024 5 1-8 1-2-6 5-8-10 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips

What Taree Races Where Manning Valley Race Club – Racecourse Dr, Taree NSW 2430 When Monday, May 27, 2024 First Race 11:35pm AEST Visit Dabble The new week of racing gets underway at Taree on Monday afternoon, with a competitive nine-race program set for decision. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with no rain forecast in the lead-up, the surface should upgrade from the Heavy 10 rating at the time of acceptances. Punters should expect a Soft 5 track, with the opening race scheduled for 11:35am local time. Best Bet at Taree: Exorealm Exorealm debuts for the Kristen Buchanan barn on the back of two soft pieces of work. Particularly his most recent effort at Gosford caught the eye, with the son of Exosphere cruising through the wire under his own steam. He appears wound-up and ready to go first-up, and with star country racing hoop Aaron Bullock set to take the reins, Exorealm will prove hard to hold out in this maiden contest. Best Bet Race 3 – #2 Exorealm (5) 3yo Gelding | T: Kristen Buchanan | J: Aaron Bullock (59kg) +200 with Neds Next Best at Taree: Naahro Naahro has hit the line well in back-to-back starts and appears set to shirk the maiden tag on Monday. The Lohnro bred gelding has been getting too far back in slowly run races, and with the opportunity for a change of tactics could do the trick for the winless three-year-old. Expect Andrew Gibbons to launch forward from barrier seven, and with no speed on, watch for Naahro to tick-over a couple soft sectionals to score at start eight. Next Best Race 4 – #2 Naahro (7) 3yo Gelding | T: Kris Lees | J: Andrew Gibbons (59.5kg) +220 with PLayUp Best Value: Bangetta Bangetta takes a dramatic drop back into Class 2 company and looks perfectly placed for success by the Kris Lees barn. The daughter of Hellbent didn’t go a yard on the Heavy surface at Randwick on May 15, with the Kensington circuit playing on-speed favours throughout the afternoon. This is the easiest opposition she’s faced for some time, and at the each-way price with online bookmakers, Bangetta looks a big price in this. Best Value Race 5 – #2 Bangetta (7) 3yo Filly | T: Kris Lees | J: Andrew Gibbons (59.5kg) +600 with Dabble Taree Monday quaddie tips Taree quadrella selections Monday, May 27, 2024 1-10 1-3-5-8 1-2-4-5-7 1-10 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article

Will Rogers Downs was hit by a tornado that tore through Claremore, Oklahoma Saturday night. The tornado, which caused heavy damage to homes and businesses in the area, was an EF-2, according to initial surveys by the National Weather Service. The Enhanced Fujita Wind Scale rates tornados from zero to five, with five being the strongest. “The property was in the path of the tornado,” Travis Noland, a spokesman for Will Rogers Downs, told Daily Racing Form Sunday. “At the property itself, there is some pretty significant damage, but we're really grateful from a life, safety respect, there were no reports of any serious injuries.” Will Rogers concluded its Thoroughbred meet May 15. Horses remaining on the grounds Saturday were transported to other facilities throughout the morning Sunday. A post on the track's Facebook page Sunday morning said, “Will Rogers Downs remains closed as we continue assessing the damage from last night's storm.” The post Tornado Strikes Will Rogers Downs appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
