Track Phantom (Quality Road) continued his preparation for the GI Kentucky Derby with a five-furlong work in 1:00.80 (6/32) at Churchill Downs Sunday morning. With jockey Tyler Gaffalione in the saddle, Track Phantom worked outside 'TDN Rising Star' and GII Pat Day Mile contender Carbone (Mitole) as the duo cruised an opening quarter-mile in a modest :26.20, but galloped out six furlongs in a solid 1:13.60, according to Churchill Downs clocker John Nichols. Track Phantom's final three furlongs was a sharp :34.60. Track Phantom worked in blinkers Sunday and he is expected to wear them for the first time in the Kentucky Derby, according to trainer Steve Asmussen. “It was the first serious move for Track Phantom since we added the blinkers and he handled it very nicely,” Asmussen told Kentucky HBPA's Jennie Rees. “It was a solid work, like always, from him.” Owned by L and N Racing, Clark Brewster, Jerry Caroom and Breeze Easy, Track Phantom won the GIII Lecomte S. in January and was second in the GII Risen Star S. before finishing fourth in the GII Louisiana Derby last time out. “He's always had a lot of talent,” Asmussen said of the colt. “He has a great attitude and he's a good mover. He's a wonderful horse to be around. He just has to continue to develop and get faster. I think that he will handle the circumstances of the Derby and the crowd, all the pageantry of it, really well.” Gaffalione was also aboard Courtlandt Farm's Our Pretty Woman (Medaglia d'Oro) Sunday as the GI Kentucky Oaks hopeful breezed five furlongs in 1:00. The Asmussen trainee worked outside her stakes-winning 3-year-old stablemate Otto the Conqueror (Street Sense)–also under consideration for the Pat Day Mile–through an opening quarter-mile of :25 and completed six furlongs in 1:12.60, according to Nichols. “It was an excellent work for her,” Asmussen said of Our Pretty Woman's drill. Our Pretty Woman won her first two career starts over a sloppy Fair Grounds surface and was second behind Tarifa (Bernardini) while making her stakes debut in the Mar. 23 GII Fair Grounds Oaks last time out. The two Asmussen runners were the only official Derby/Oaks workers Sunday morning at Churchill Downs, but Michael McMillan's GIII Gazelle S. winner Where's My Ring (Twirling Candy) breezed a quarter-mile down the lane in :24. Trainer Val Brinkerhoff reported the filly is scheduled to have an official workout Saturday. Trainer Todd Pletcher reported 'TDN Rising Star' and G3 UAE Oaks winner Manama Gold (Star Guitar), unbeaten in three career starts, has been transferred to his care and will possibly be supplemented to the Kentucky Oaks. The Louisiana-bred sophomore is scheduled to arrive at Churchill Downs Monday.

T. K. Kuegler, Founder and Managing Partner of Wasabi Ventures Stables, and his wife Michele, Director of Aftercare and Community, have purchased a 92-acre farm in Lexington. Named Serendipity Springs, it will be the new home of Wasabi and its entities, Wasabi Stallions and The Horse Fund. “We looked at a bunch of farms. We'd been looking for about six months and we actually weren't originally going to look at [this one]. But we said, 'We've looked at everything else. Why not?'” said Kuegler. “It doesn't have a lot of road frontage, but it's like a martini glass because it opens up massively in the back, it's huge. It's got 75 undeveloped acres.” Since it was established five years ago, Wasabi's breeding operation has been based in the Mid-Atlantic, primarily at St. Omer's Farm in Forest Hill, Maryland. But as things have progressed and expanded for Wasabi, in both breeding and racing, Kuegler knew that establishing themselves in the heart of horse country was a necessary next step. “I was a Maryland kid. I grew up in Maryland, I love Maryland and I still think of Maryland as home. But we realized was that much of the future of racing goes through Kentucky,” said Kuegler. “We spent some time in Lexington and loved it and said, 'It probably makes sense to be there, breed there and set [up] the breeding operation there. That plan probably started in motion about two years ago.” However, Kuegler emphasizes that this isn't the end of Wasabi's ties to Maryland. “I'm not closing the door on Maryland. It's more like I'm expanding the door in Kentucky. I'm not seeing this as an 'either or,' but a 'both' in many ways,” he said. Wasabi breeds the majority of its mares to stallions based in Kentucky, though they also own a large piece of the Maryland stallion Blofeld, who stands at Murmur Farm. Kuegler explained that shipping costs, along with the larger concentration of service providers and staff for hire were all factors taken into consideration when shifting majority of their breeding operation to Lexington. “We're always going to have five or six mares that are there [in Maryland] supporting [Blofeld]. They'll be in that region and they'll foal out there. They're not all going to Kentucky, it's just that the core base [of broodmares] will be here,” said Kuegler. “I think the other key thing is economics. I was spending $30,000 a year to ship mares from Maryland to Kentucky to breed, to only ship them back to Maryland to foal out. I mean 90% of what I breed to is Kentucky stallions, so that's $30,000 now I don't have to spend in shipping. “There are very few places in the country that are as horse centric as Lexington. We wanted to be a part of that.” Looking ahead, the goal is to move around 15 mares to the farm by the end of June or early July. In the meantime, renovations will begin to build another barn and fence a variety of new paddocks. Kuegler estimates it will likely be this time next year that majority of their mares will be residing at the farm. But this is only the beginning for Wasabi in Lexington. “The vision is to also purchase another piece of property to have a training track and be able to do it end-to-end, from birth all the way to racing to retirement in Kentucky. This piece of property is our first step. [We'll get] this property to be a world-class breeding facility and then keep looking. When we get the next piece of property that works for us, [we'll have] a racing operation here too,” said Kuegler. Serendipity Springs also offers opportunity for an expansion of The Horse Fund, Wasabi's aftercare partner, by providing a temporary home for Wasabi horses as they make the transition from the track to an aftercare facility prior to the start of their new careers. “The dream here is to be that place where we can be the stopgap, instead of some other nonprofit farm in the retirement cycle, as they are often full and already stressed out. If we could take over some of that with our horses, it just helps the whole system.” When it comes to their racehorses, Kuegler plans to have Wasabi continue racing in the Mid-Atlantic through the summer before bringing the string, along with trainer Jesse Cruz and assistant trainer Grace Smith, to Kentucky. The goal is to start at Keeneland for the fall meet and later, move on to Turfway Park for the winter. All of these plans underway, and those on the horizon, are part of the 10-year vision Kuegler shared with his team just five years ago, during the beginning stage of Wasabi's breeding operation. “I said, 'We're going to start slow and build to be a world-class breeding operation. We're not going to come in and buy boatloads of mares the first couple years because we're going to build to it.' Slowly, over the last three years at every breeding sale, the number of purchases and the value of those purchases keeps eking up. It just keeps getting a little higher and that was always the plan,” said Kuegler. The team has accomplished plenty since Wasabi Ventures Stables was founded in 2017 and there is no doubt that the next five to 10 years only promise more growth across all of Wasabi's entities. “I learned long ago that it's much better to learn and bring people along with you,” said Kuegler. “If you have a plan to try to be a world-class operation, I don't know how you do that in the modern world and not have a base of operations in Kentucky. I don't even know how it's possible unless you're here.” The post Kueglers Purchase Lexington Farm, New Home of Wesabi Ventures Stables appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Arrowfield Stud founder and chairman John Messara has long taken a global view when it comes to breeding and has formed strong strategic links with fellow major breeders in Europe and Japan. He recently spoke with our colleagues at The Thoroughbred Report on the perceived stagnation of the Australian Pattern race programme and now shares with Emma Berry his wider views on racing and breeding in various jurisdictions and the decision to send a special mare to be based in Europe. EB: You have had associations with European entities before, notably with the Aga Khan Studs. What has prompted you to decide to send mares to Europe to be bred to northern hemisphere time? JM: Well, we have sent only one mare at this point, specifically to access Frankel (GB). That mare is quite a special one for us, The Broken Shore (Aus) (Hussonet), a half-sister to Redoute's Choice (Aus) and also the dam of Champion three-year-old filly Shoals (Aus). Our partner, Jonathan Munz, persuaded us to relocate her in Europe on a permanent basis for easier access to Frankel (GB) and of course our aim is to try to breed a good colt by this great stallion. It means we'll have to race her progeny in Europe, but that should be fun. EB: I note that you have recently mentioned potentially standing the offspring as stallions if they are colts and perform well enough. Do you feel that there are certain European stallions whose offspring could work well in Australasia and, crucially, be well received by breeders? JM: Certainly, the stallion ranks in Europe and America offer a wider range of elite stallions for a mare like The Broken Shore than here at home, and Frankel in particular is quite special and very suitable for her. Australasian-bred stallions currently dominate our sire premierships but young stallions like Harry Angel (Ire), Too Darn Hot (GB), Blue Point (Ire), St Mark's Basilica (Fr) and Pinatubo (Ire) are being given every chance to succeed here. EB: The Autumn Sun (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}) was recently represented by his first Group 1 winner, Autumn Angel (Aus). Would you ever consider shuttling him, particularly given his family, and with his younger siblings being based back in Europe? JM: Yes, we would consider shuttling him, if a sound opportunity was to arise. The Autumn Sun has got off to a solid start in Australia and hopefully there's more to come. He's a stallion with a relaxed attitude, who would handle the travelling and transitions between hemispheres. EB: How do you view the increasing importation of middle-distance and staying horses from Europe to Australia? Do you feel there is enough encouragement in the Australian breeding industry for breeders to try to produce this type of horse at home? JM: We certainly have the racing programme and the prize-money for middle-distance horses, albeit that there is an historical demand for precocious speed animals. And yes, the flow of imports of European middle-distance horses and their success on the track here has been something of a wake-up call, causing Australian breeders to consider a more diverse approach to their breeding options. We at Arrowfield have been on that path for some time, with stallions like Dundeel (NZ), Maurice (Jpn) and The Autumn Sun. I am hoping that the exaggerated focus on two-year-old racing is behind us and that we start producing horses with a more versatile aptitude. EB: Do you feel that there is there too much emphasis internationally on two-year-old success? JM: The statistics are interesting: in Australia 12% of all stakes races are for 2two-year-olds, while in Great Britain and Ireland it's more than 20%, yet Australia has been much more focussed on two-year-old racing. The Golden Slipper, established in 1957 and still the world's most valuable two-year-old race, is undoubtedly one reason; another is our broad ownership base including syndicates of people keen to see their horses run early. While it is naturally exciting to see each season's juveniles stepping out, and they are a vibrant part of Australian racing's mix, I sense that this focus on two-year-old racing isn't quite as intense as it once was. I suggest that at least a couple of factors are responsible for this: mature European horses winning our middle-distance races; and the success in Australia of stallions like High Chaparral (Ire), Street Cry, So You Think (NZ), Dundeel and Maurice. EB: From your perspective, do Royal Ascot and other major meetings in this part of the world have enough allure for Australian owners and trainers? Or is it simply the case that financial rewards are greater at home and in jurisdictions such as Hong Kong and Japan? JM: Yes, I do think Royal Ascot retains its appeal for Australians – at least, I'm yet to meet anyone who has been underwhelmed by it. A stakes win at any of the top European meetings is a great asset in a pedigree and a wonderful, bucket-list experience for most of us. I would say, without much hesitation, that most Australian owners would enjoy the challenge of taking on the world, if they had the horse to do it. There is more to horse ownership than just money! EB: Japan is another country with which Arrowfield has strong links. What is it that drew you to become involved in standing stallions such as Maurice and Admire Mars? Do you keep mares in Japan? JM: We have had a 25-year, strong and productive relationship with the leading Japanese stallion farm, Shadai Stallion Station, and with Katsumi Yoshida's Northern Farm; these are hugely successful breeding operations. We have stood horses here in Australia on the shuttle and have partnered with them in other cases. Japanese stallions have offered us diversity by providing outcrosses for our relatively small gene pool. We sometimes ship mares to Japan to access particular stallions in Southern Hemisphere time, such as Sunday Silence and Deep Impact (Jpn). We also operate a broodmare partnership with Northern Farm which has produced 7 Group 1 winners including Horse of the Year Weekend Hussler (Aus), Blue Diamond winners Reaan (Aus) and Tagaloa (Aus) and last weekend's Australian Oaks winner Autumn Angel (Aus). EB: What do you feel that other breeding nations can learn from the Japanese model? JM: My observation is that the Japanese breeding industry relies more on the excellence of racetrack performance than the fashionable pedigree or commercial saleability. They have bred many, many internationally competitive athletes that way. The efficiency and scope of their training facilities is amazing and they are constantly looking for ways to do things better.

Central Districts-based jockey Portia Matthews got her jumps season off to the perfect start with a winning double at Hawera on Sunday. In the first on the card, Matthews reunited with talented hurdler Harry Harrison (NZ) (Haradasun) who was aiming to extend his three-race winning streak over the fences, and the compact gelding started a $2.00 tote-favourite ahead of Kevin Myers’ trio headed by Lochwinnoch at $2.80. The eight-year-old son of Haradasun was fresh-up at the races since early October, but showed that he meant business from the jump, flying over the first fence and swiftly developing a healthy lead over Lochwinnoch and Sweet Taboo. Matthews eased the tempo aboard Harry Harrison heading down the back straight and Lochwinnoch began to chase turning for home, but the favourite never looked in doubt as he stormed clear to take out the Chillco (2850m) by three lengths. Gail Temperton, who trains the gelding out of her Foxton base, was delighted with the performance. “We don’t give instructions to Portia, we take them from Harry and he loves to be out there. He really enjoys his jumping so he just looks for the next fence,” Temperton said. Matthews was aboard Harry Harrison at his maiden hurdle victory last year, and had been involved with his preparation leading into the new season. “I’m very happy with him, I keep in contact with Gail a lot, and I’ve done the schooling for her coming into this race and last year,” Matthews said. “We knew he was going to be a little bit short today being fresh-up, and when I pulled up he didn’t recover quite as quickly as I’m used to, but with the shorter distance, he was able to get the job done. “Harry doesn’t ride very small despite his size, he has the same-sized girth as a normal horse and he’s so brave. He’s got great owners and Gail knows her horses very well.” Matthews was back in the winner’s circle in the following race, after picking up a late ride aboard the Kevin Myers-trained Afterallthistime (Deep Field) in the First Aluminium Hawera (3050m). “That was a funny story, I was originally on my bosses (Mark Oulaghan’s) horse Super Spirit but he scratched all of the horses today, so in true Kevin fashion, he popped me onto one of his last minute without really letting me know,” she said. “That was fine though, I got hold of him and had a chat about the horse, he’s a lovely big type of jumper and Kevin’s instructions were to let the others go forward and just finish him off at the end.” The late call-up proved a successful one, with Matthews following the Wanganui horseman’s instructions to the letter, settling back in the five-horse field throughout the open steeplechase event while the well-performed Torque Time controlled the tempo. Turning for home, the Deep Field seven-year-old loomed up to Torque Time, and showed a strong kick to score by three-quarters of a length, justifying the strong surge in betting late that had him equal-favourite stablemate Hey Happy. “I managed to get the tidy inside run when everyone made a move, and he seemed to pick them up in two strides,” Matthews said. The victory was Afterallthistime’s second in an 11-start career, adding to his impressive maiden win during National Week in Christchurch last season, bringing his earnings to $38,920. Heading towards bigger races in the coming months, Matthews is looking forward to last season’s Grand National Hurdles (4200m) winner Berry The Cash (NZ) (Jakkalberry) kicking off his campaign in the Manawatu Hurdles (2800m) next month. “Berry The Cash is looking to do a similar course of action as West Coast last year but just over the hurdles, both of those will be aiming for the Manawatu features as they are more heavy track horses and were never going to be aimed for something so early as today,” she said. “We (Oulaghan’s stable) have a couple of nice maiden chasers and I really rate both of them, Kentucky Boy has been a bit immature in the brain but he seems to be going a lot better this year. “I’m hoping to improve myself as much as I can this season to be the best rider that I can. I have Buddy Lammas helping me every week, being a Group One jockey at one stage, as well as winning a lot of jumps races, he is a huge help and he’s improved my riding out of sight.” View the full article

Class galloper Sacred Satono (NZ) (Satono Aladdin) put his name firmly in the frame for a proposed Queensland Winter Carnival venture when he kicked off a new campaign with an impressive victory at Ellerslie in the opening event, the Barfoot & Thompson 1200. The Bruce Wallace and Grant Cooksley-trained four-year-old had last been seen on raceday when finishing midfield in the Aotearoa Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie on Karaka Millions night and stripped in good condition despite not having trialled before his resumption. With rider Triston Moodley using his 3kg claim to bring the son of Satono Aladdin’s topweight down to a manageable 58kg impost, Sacred Satono looked well placed despite giving weight to his nine rivals including 4kgs to race favourite Pour The Wine. Moodley was in no rush on the topweight, allowing him to settle in midfield behind tearaway pacemakers One More Time and Is That So in the early running before easing into contention approaching the home turn. Allowed to drift to the middle of the track, Sacred Satono quickly hit the front and put the race to bed in a few strides. Despite being hotly challenged by Pour The Wine and Imprevu he held the pair out by a length and a half in a slick time of 1.09.68 on a track rated a Soft5 despite some heavy and persistent rain throughout the morning. Cooksley was pleased with the performance as he outlined the future plans for his charge. “He went really well and has been working okay and he goes pretty good fresh-up,” Cooksley said. “He hasn’t done a lot since his last run, just a couple of jump-outs and we brought him here today to see how he was going. “We’re thinking about going to Brisbane, but will see what happens. “A race like the Stradbroke (Gr.1, 1400m) is an option and couple of races beforehand where we will work it out from there.” A rain soaked Moodley sported a beaming smile as he described the victory. “It’s a bit wet out there but seemed good underfoot and I was on the best horse in the field so it was easy for me,” he said. “I just gave him a smack and he pinned his ears back and the rest was history as he flew home.” A $34,000 yearling purchase by Wallace from the Rich Hill Stud draft during the Book 2 sale at Karaka in 2021, Sacred Satono has won six of his 22 starts and more than $411,000 in prizemoney.

Cambridge trainer Andrew Forsman will look to add black type to Russian Satire’s outstanding pedigree page after a last-to-first win in Saturday’s Auckland Co-Op Taxis (1500m) at Ellerslie. Russian Satire (Russian Revolution) is raced by her breeder David Paykel and comes from an exceptional family. She is by Russian Revolution out of Paykel’s More Than Ready mare Serious Satire, whose three wins included the Gr.3 Gold Trail Stakes (1200m). Second dam Zarzuela was a three-time Group winner, placed in the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m), and is the dam of seven winners from seven foals to race including three black-type performers. The third dam is the Group One winner Star Satire, whose daughter Satin Shoes won the Gr.2 Silver Slipper (1200m), placed in the Gr.1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) and became an outstanding dam and granddam in her own right. Russian Satire has yet to scale those sorts of heights, but she recorded the third win of her 13-start career on Saturday with a performance that hinted at better things to come. Patiently ridden by Craig Grylls, Russian Satire was well back in the field throughout the race and dropped out to a clear last at the 600m mark. But Grylls began to move the four-year-old up through her gears after rounding the home turn, accelerating sharply along the rail before angling into a gap between Ethereal Star and Trigon Lad. Russian Satire burst to the front inside the final 50m, winning by a length from Dimaggio and Urban Myth. Forsman’s other runner Ethereal Star, who was involved in a torrid duel in front for a large part of the Rating 75 race, fought on bravely for fourth. “I was probably hoping to be a spot or two handier, but she didn’t begin that well and she was only travelling fairly up to the turn,” Grylls said. “But once she got some clear air in the straight, she really accelerated for a good win.” Russian Satire’s three wins and four placings from 13 starts have so far earned $71,160 in stakes for her owner-breeder. “That was a good, strong win today,” Forsman said. “It was probably set up for her with a bit of mid-race pressure in front. I feel sorry for our other horse, but it worked out well for her. “She’s obviously well bred, so any bit of black type we can get in the next little while would be great. She can handle rain-affected ground, which is a help at this time of the year. “I thought it was a good effort by Ethereal Star too. She tried really hard. She just got softened up in front, and she was a little bit vulnerable fitness-wise anyway. We’ll see how she comes through this and work out where we go from here.” View the full article

A week after becoming only the second New Zealand trainer to reach 2000 wins, South Island racing icon Michael Pitman teamed up with jockey Lisa Allpress to celebrate another notable milestone in Saturday’s Avon City Ford Rating 75 (2600m) at Riccarton. Pitman and his son and training partner Matthew saddled the quinella in the $35,000 staying event, with Star Ballot (NZ) (Tarzino) edging out stablemate Tomyturbo (NZ) (Sacred Falls) by half a length. Star Ballot was ridden by Allpress, who notched up her 100th career win for the Pitman stable. “We’re really good friends and it’s good for her to reach 100 winners for us,” Pitman said. “She used to come down here when she was an apprentice to ride for us, so it’s really good and I’m sure she’ll enjoy this as much as we are.” The win also inched Allpress a step closer to her own 2000-win milestone, lifting her tally of New Zealand victories to 1910. “We’ve had a bit of a sabbatical recently, so it’s taken a while to bring up the 100th winner for the stable,” Allpress said. “But it’s always nice to get on their horses. You know they’re going to give you a good show. “Our association goes back to when I was an apprentice and I used to come and ride for him at midweek meetings. It’s all about the grounding that you get as a young apprentice. You’ve got to take the knocks as well as the good times, and I think he’s taught me a few things along the way, as well as Mr (Kevin) Gray.” A strong-finishing fifth and fourth in his two previous starts over 2000m, Star Ballot relished the step up to 2600m on Saturday. After settling at the tail of the field, the five-year-old Tarzino gelding began to edge forward coming up to the home turn. Star Ballot got on the back of Tomyturbo as he surged to the front in the straight. Allpress then angled her mount to the outside, and Star Ballot lengthened stride and finished over the top of his stablemate for an impressive win. “After I found out I was riding this horse, I went back through his videos – he’s a really nice stayer,” Allpress said. “He’s obviously got those miles under his belt. “He could be earmarked for a nice race like the New Zealand Cup (Gr.3, 3200m), because he just seems to stay really well. There was no panic today and I still felt like I had a lot underneath me at the top of the straight.” Pitman paid $45,000 to purchase Star Ballot from the 2020 Ready to Run Sale at Karaka. He has now had 26 starts for five wins, six placings and $126,405 in stakes. “I don’t have many favourite horses, but Star Ballot is probably one of my favourites,” he said. “If it had been a really firm track today, I think this horse would have won by five lengths.” View the full article

What Queanbeyan Races Where Queanbeyan Racing Club – 52 McCrae Street, Queanbeyan NSW, 2620 When Monday, April 22, 2024 First Race 1:25pm AEST Visit Dabble The new week of racing gets underway at Queanbeyan on Monday afternoon, where a quickfire seven-race program awaits punters. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with the forecast promising sunny skies across the weekend, participants should expect a genuine Good 4 surface. All the action is scheduled to kick off at 1:25pm local time. Best Bet at Queanbeyan: Impending Harmony Impending Harmony is building to something fourth-up into the campaign. She hit the line well on unsuitable Soft conditions at Canberra on April 12 in her most recent outing, managing to catch the eye despite the 3.6-length margin. Getting back on top of the ground should be ideal for the four-year-old, and with a soft run all but assured from stall one, Impending Harmony can finally knock off the maiden tag at start 13. Best Bet Race 2 – #8 Impending Harmony (1) 4yo Mare | T: Keith Dryden | J: Damon Budler (57kg) +290 with Picklebet Next Best at Queanbeyan: She’s High Society After a strong hit-out at Warwick Farm on April 12, She’s High Society heads to race-day conditions for the first time. She was asked to win that jump-out, persuaded for an effort to score by three lengths. It was an intelligent piece of work by the daughter of Deep Field, and it should have her ticking over nicely for this.

Overpass claimed victory in The Quokka. (Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) In a déjà vu moment reminiscent of last year’s showdown, Saturday’s The Quokka (1200m) saw the familiar sight of the Bjorn Baker-trained Overpass outlasting local sensation Amelia’s Jewel to clinch consecutive victories in the feature at Ascot, now boasting an increased purse of $5 million, up by $1 million from the previous year. Guided once again by Josh Parr, the five-year-old progeny of Vancouver exhibited his trademark tenacity, surging resolutely within the final 100m to stave off the persistent challenge from Simon Miller’s contender, securing triumph by a margin of 0.9 lengths. Oscar’s Fortune trailed closely behind, claiming third place by a mere 0.2 lengths. 2024 The Quokka Replay – Overpass Reflecting on Overpass’s remarkable feat, Baker, exhibiting his unwavering commitment to the essence of the sport. “I’m a purist of racing, I’m not going to say he’s a champion yet because we have to do a bit more in the Group 1s. But he is our champion. He’s Ram Racing’s champion. He’s Darby Racing’s champion and has been the stable stalwart.” “It was a great ride from Josh, he rode him like the best horse. He has as constant form as any sprinter in Australia.” Acknowledging the formidable challenge posed by the Western Australian racing scene, Baker expressed his admiration for Overpass’s unyielding spirit “It’s not easy to win in Western Australia, where there are a lot of good trainers and jockeys. I just think I’ve got the right horse for the right time. “This guy is a bit of a warrior. He never shows you that much, but when he gets into the thick of a fight, he just keeps giving. Wish I was as resilient as him.” With Saturday’s victory, Overpass’s illustrious record now boasts eight wins and five placings from 26 starts, accumulating over $7.7 million in prizemoney, a testament to his enduring prowess on the turf.

Alice Springs trainer Greg Connor celebrated a winning double at Pioneer Park on Saturday with Flying Yishu and Bold Tropic. Trainer Greg Connor had one win during the Alice Springs Cup Carnival, but celebrated a winning double at Pioneer Park on Saturday. Flying Yishu saluted during the Cup Carnival over 1200m (0-62) on April 6 and with apprentice Lek Maloney once again on board, Flying Artie’s four-year-old gelding went back to back when he overcame Paul Gardner’s Perkova ($4.40) and Ray Viney’s Strike Eagle ($4) by 2.2 lengths over 1200m (0-70). Sitting in third place, Maloney made his move at the 500m before his mount sprinted clear with 100m to go after finally wearing down Terry Gillett’s leader Brat. Flying Yishu started life in the Red Centre with three wins and three seconds before three failures in February and March. Bold Tropic ($11), a six-year-old gelding, made it three wins from five starts when Darwin apprentice Emma Lines, back from suspension, got Zoustar’s son home over 1100m (0-58). Having settled towards the rear of the field, Lines never left the fence as Connor’s charger clicked into gear and once turning for home Bold Tropic was among eight horses capable of winning. At the 100m, Bold Tropic hit the front to outlast those who led or travelled wide by half a length with Gardner’s Lamoree ($8.50) and Leah Walling-Denton’s Future Dreams ($61) filling the minor placings. Kickatorp ($2.60), Viney’s five-year-old gelding, third in the $100,000 Pioneer Sprint (1200m) on April 6, won an exciting 1100m handicap. Reduced to five starters when Dakota Lee was scratched, it proved a riveting contest with the quintet spread across the track passing the 200m. Forced four deep by jockey Jessie Philpot turning for home, Kickatorp was the widest runner before edging clear to down Gillett’s Supreme Times ($9) and John Peacock’s Super Famous ($12) by half a length. Kickatorp’s Alice Springs record since debuting last April is 11: 3-5-1. Peacock, who brings horses to the NT every year, celebrated victory with Super Famous on his previous Pioneer Park visit last August. On Saturday, the Murray Bridge trainer had another win when Step Forward ($4.80 fav), a four-year-old mare by Magnus, won the 1200m maiden from Gary Clarke’s Boomerconi ($26) and Connor’s Danny Whizzbang ($13). Step Forward was ridden by visiting Victorian apprentice Hannah Le Blanc. After three straight seconds, Kerry Petrick’s five-year-old mare Princess Pancakes ($6.50) finally secured a first NT win after 10 attempts by defeating Mark Pegus’ Awen ($5) and Gillett’s Valley Prince ($4.80) over 1400m (0-64). Princess Pancakes was second behind Awen passing the 800m before hitting the front with 350m to go and prevailing by a length. Finally, Top End apprentice Jade Hampson guided Will Savage’s six-year-old gelding Broad Outlook ($10) to a comfortable win over 1400m (0-64) from Kevin Lamprecht’s Daniher ($3.10 fav) and Dan Morgan’s Barocco Bar ($6). Hampson got to an early lead aboard Broad Outlook, winless since last July, with No Nay Never’s son skipping four lengths clear at the 400m before winning by 2.2 lengths.

Huetor was at his best in the Group 3 JRA Plate. Photo: RacingNSW Nash Rawiller and Peter & Paul Snowden combined with Huetor (+1300) to storm to victory in the Group 3 JRA Plate (2000m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon. The son of Archipenko was only second-up into the campaign after a moderate display in the Group 3 Doncaster Prelude (1500m) over an unsuitable distance, bouncing back on the Heavy conditions to add career win number eight to the tally. It was another rail hugging steer that proved best, with barrier one allowing Rawiller to stalk his rivals from the inside as Yonce (+1500) attempted to make every post a winner under Tommy Berry. Goldman (+400) was smashed in betting with online bookmakers from double figures and ran on admirably after chasing home on a three-wide line throughout the journey. Hezashocka (+800) was hammering home down the centre of the course, along with the Annabel Neasham-trained Bois D’Argent (+450), but all the running was to the inside, which had clearly been the superior going throughout the day. Once getting off the back of the leader, there was only one horse in contention, as Huetor dominated his rivals to score by 2.2 lengths. 2024 Group 3 JRA Plate Replay – Huetor Co-trainer Paul Snowden was on track to praise Huetor before suggesting the two-time Group 1 Doomben Cup (2000m) would head back to his favourite circuit. “We’re starting to get there,” said Snowden. “Honestly, there was plenty of excuses in his first-up run. He got caught behind a horse that was going nowhere. He got dragged back through the ruck and he’s a horse once you start to let him come up underneath you, you’ve got to really go with him and just keep pointing him in the right direction. “You can’t stop and start him. Believe it or not, I reckon he’s won about four or five races just cutting the corner and coming up the fence like that. “I believe he’s going better than what his last run suggests. It is a little shock, because he has struggled on these heavy conditions before. But obviously we’re heading up to the Hollindale and the Doomben Cup and he’s going up there in really good form.” Nash Rawiller spoke to the tactical advantage on the inside fence before crediting his mount for an impressive turn-of-foot when asked the question. “I think the fence has been pretty good all day,” said Rawiller. “He drew one, I let him find his feet. He’s probably not rock-hard fit yet but he was able to conserve his energy in the run. “Like I said to connections before the race, ‘if we get to the half-mile and we’re going alright, we’ll know we’re a chance’ because the ground might have found him out by then.” “You could see there that he was travelling and he’s got a terrific turn of foot; we know that. You don’t win Doomben Cups if you don’t have that sort of ability.” Horse racing news View the full article

Mazu bounces back to winning form in the Hall Mark Stakes. Photo: RacingNSW It’s been almost two years since Mazu (+380) found the winners’ enclosure, finally recapturing his best to claim the Group 3 Hall Mark Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday. The Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m) in 2022 was the last time the son of Maurice claimed top honours, seemingly coming to the end of his racing career. The Joseph Pride barn has given him a new lease on racing life, however, getting the now five-year-old back to his peak and relishing in the Heavy track conditions on Saturday. It was an expert steer by Jamie Kah that brought up a race-to-race double, sitting outside the well supported favourite Front Page (+110) throughout the 1200m journey. Vilana (+360) was looming large in the one-one under Nash Rawiller, while the Godolphin stable campion Aft Cabin (+500) was put to sleep towards the rear of the field. When the whips were cracking, there was only one horse you wanted to be on, however, as Mazu swiftly put away Front Page and fended off the late challenge of Vilana with 200m left to travel. 2024 Group 3 Hall Mark Stakes Replay – Mazu Joseph Pride was trackside to discuss the win and perhaps another tilt at the Doomben 10,000 could be on the cards. “He had a wet track in the TJ (TJ Smith Stakes) but to be fair to him he was a month between runs off the back of a setback, not getting to run in The Galaxy,” said Pride. “Today he was just that little bit harder and fitter and it was a lovely ride from Jamie. It was good, a good result. “Queensland would be the plan again. I feel like obviously we’ve got him back on track now. He probably does need wet tracks to do his very best. “And I’m really happy there, and a big thank you to Leeshelle Small, who is my apprentice. She has been riding this horse all preparation, and she’s done a fantastic job with him because he’s a difficult horse, and she’s really got him to settle really well. So a big thanks to her.” Jamie Kah was elated to pick-up an early double and was impressed with how well Mazu went in the testing Heavy conditions. “Yeah, things don’t always go your way, so after the protest went my way, I thought ‘it might be my day today’,” said Kah. “He loves it (wet tracks). He’s a weird horse because he’s got all the ability in the world, and then he hit the front like he was going to win by five or six and he pricked his ears and looked at the winning post, and he does a lot of things wrong. “He’s a thinker, but he’s got the ability when he puts his mind to the job.” Horse racing news View the full article

Kintyre (obscured) claimed the Group 3 Frank Packer Plate in the stewards room. Although Gold Bullion (+1200) was first past the post, the gelding couldn’t survive a protest lodged by connections of Kintyre (+240), with the result being overturned in the Group 3 Frank Packer Plate (2000m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon. The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained galloper seemingly did enough to score, initially making every post a winner; however, after reviewing the footage, it was clear to see the interference caused to the eventual winner. It was a daring ride in testing conditions by Jamie Kah, swooping along the inside running rail to squeeze between it and Gold Bullion, going down narrowly in the concluding stages. Our Gold Hope (+550) was impressive attempting to make a run down the centre of the course, while the heavily backed favourite Tannhausser (+160) was given an impossible task after dragging back worse than mid-field under James McDonald. Kintrye proved a fair victor in the end, picking up a much-deserved win after a consistent campaign throughout the autumn, finding the minor money in three of his four starts prior to Saturday. 2024 Group 3 Frank Packer Plate Replay – Kintyre Gary Portelli spoke to media after the protest had landed in their favour, suggesting Kintyre may now head to Brisbane for the winter carnival. “I didn’t realise watching it live that it was so tight there until we watched the head-on shot,” said Portelli. “Jamie (Kah) said ‘I think he should have won’. So we said, let’s watch it. When we saw that she took the rail the last 25m, the rules are you can’t squeeze them up. So anyway, we got the money. “We bought the half-brother to him at Easter. We paid $480,000-odd for him, he’s by Pierata, a half-brother, so the mare is doing a great job. “He’s a gelding, he’s well bred and he might go to Brisbane. We’ll see how he pulls up. “He has been so consistent. He hasn’t run a bad race yet. Barrier one, finally, and he got every chance, good ride. It would have been tragic to see him get beaten.” Jamie Kah spoke after the result and was happy with the decision to uphold the protest. “My horse was going to go past the other horse and win the race,” said Kah. “The margin is very small but I felt like my horse was going to go on and win easily. “The interference has definitely cost me a good length, I think.’’ Horse racing news View the full article

The Chris Waller-trained Konasana claimed the H B Carr Stakes. Photo: RacingNSW Chris Waller & Regan Bayliss have combined with Konasana (+1800) to claim victory in the Group 3 H B Carr Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon. The Dundeel filly relished the bottomless conditions, with the track being downgraded to a Heavy 9 prior to the jump, breaking clear of her rivals to score by 3.7 lengths. The field of 11 were bunched together for much of the 1400m journey, with the Brad Widdup-trained Hasty Honey (+3300) forced to take up the running. Tim Clark wasn’t happy with the tempo aboard Pajanti (+2500) and swung around the field on a three-wide line, eventually taking on the lead in the middle stages, while the well-backed New Zealand import Scarlett Oak (+380) was smoking the pipe behind the leading pair. Scarlett Oak hit a gap and looked to be travelling best under Zac Lloyd before the stablemate loomed large to career away with the prize. It was a dominant victory, with many of her rivals unable to handle the testing conditions, with significant margins back to the minor money. 2024 Group 3 H B Carr Stakes Replay – Konasana Chris Waller was on course to discuss the victory and questioned whether Konasana would eventually return to a staying journey. “She had some good form in the spring,” said Waller. “We were aiming for the Oaks and she didn’t stay. So her shorter distance form was good. And she’s backed it up today. She doesn’t mind a wet track, obviously. “Obviously winning these types of races are important. She’s not up the top level, but my job, or our job, is to try and keep her now at this level and try and get her a little bit better as well.” Regan Bayliss was impressed with the victory and thinks a staying trip shouldn’t be a problem moving forward. “She’s a pretty good filly,” said Bayliss. “In the spring she had form out over a trip around the likes of Autumn Angel. “Today she got into a beautiful rhythm and it was all about getting through the ground and she swum through it, savaging the line. “She’ll only get better as she gets out over more ground.” Horse racing news View the full article

Magic Time overhauls Amenable to claim the Group 1 All Aged Stakes at Randwick. Photo: RacingNSW Magic Time (+500) has produced a stunning turn-of-foot to secure her second Group 1 victory, claiming the All Aged Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon. Michael Dee continued his association with the daughter of Hellbent after a tough performance in the Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) on April 6, recapturing her best, similarly to when she bloused her rivals in the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) at the end of her spring campaign. The race was set up perfectly for the four-year-old mare, managing to find a stalking position mid-field throughout the journey. The speed map was thrown out early in the race as James McDonald decided to send Private Eye (+1100) to the front, launching across from barrier 10. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained Amenable (+4000) elected to sit to his outside, while Chain Of Lightning (+550) and Sunshine In Paris (+400) got into the slipstream behind the leading pair. Espiona (+400) and Southport Tycoon (+550) both dragged back, unable to handle the testing conditions when asked for the ultimate effort. When the whips were cracking, Amenable quickly put away Private Eye, who would have to settle for third, while Magic Time was only starting to build the revs late, launching over the top to record a terrific win for the Grahame Begg barn. 2024 Group 1 All Aged Stakes Replay – Magic Time “She’s been a beauty,” said Begg, speaking post-race. “Each run has just brought her on. This was our main goal, getting to the All Aged Stakes. Her Newmarket run was good. Then in the TJ Smith, she just drew down on the inside but it brought her on and she was spot-on today. “Her 1400-metre record is outstanding. She’s got a great will to win. She’s had a great prep. The staff have looked after her very well. I’ve got to thank Mr (John) Muir and Trish Muir. Michael Dee, what a great ride. “We were thinking about going to Brisbane but we’ll just have to re-assess everything. She’s a great mare. She’s got an unbelievable record for such a lightly raced horse and she never fails to deliver.” Michael Dee was happy with the win and credited the mare for her toughness and ability to settle in the run. “It worked out well,” said Dee. “She jumped well. We were able to get cover, albeit being wide, and then I was happy because we could just work into it. I was pretty confident a long way out but with the ground how it is now, I wasn’t sure about the 100m mark. But she dug deep. It was a super effort. “She’s a dream to ride. She does everything you ask of her. She’s certainly a race day horse. In trackwork she’s pretty unassuming and she doesn’t usually work that well in trackwork. But come race day, she really switches on.” Following the All Aged Stakes, the final two races were abandoned due to track conditions. They will be rescheduled for a later date.

Broadsiding skips clear to win the Group 1 Champagne Stakes. Photo: RacingNSW James Cummings has trained his second winner in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m), with Broadsiding (+220) claiming victory at Randwick on Saturday. It’s the first victory in this race as a trainer for the Blue Army, having previously training Prized Icon to victory in the 2016 edition, with Broadsiding producing a similar preparation on the one-week backup from the Listed Fernhill Stakes (1600m) last Saturday. It proved to be a master stroke by Cummings to avoid the first two legs of the Triple Crown, biding their time to unleash the son of Too Darn Hot later in the Autumn campaign. The race unfolded as most expected, with the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Anode (+1000) heading straight to the front under Adam Hyeronimus, while the drifting Linebacker (+320) sat to his outside. Manaal (+160) cruised into the one-one under Jamie Kah, while Broadsiding was allowed to get into a rhythm in the back-half of the field by James McDonald, setting a might task two-year-old. Linebacker gave a bold kick as they headed for home, but just as he was getting the upper hand, Broadsiding clicked into gear, justifying the firm to score a dominant victory. 2024 Group 1 Champagne Stakes Replay – Broadsiding James Cummings was elated with the win and spoke to what it means to secure a two-year-old Group 1 win for the European progeny. “This is a big deal for the farm, to get the first two-year-old colt to win a Group One this season is amazing,” said Cummings. “I just begged James (McDonald) to ride the horse that way and it’s really paid off. “He’s performed so strongly. He loved that quick back-up. He’s excelled once he’s got to a mile and that’s the class of the European pedigree coming through, and that told in the finish. “He’s been a real work in progress. He’s the type of horse that has improved with a lot of experience, a lot of handling. We took him for a trip to Melbourne and back. A lot of that travelling has helped wake him up and mature the horse. “He’s just got this very interesting future about him, being by Too Darn Hot who is an emerging sire for us. He (Too Darn Hot) was a colt raced by Andrew Lloyd Webber for John Gosden and he was an exceptional two-year-old himself. James McDonald secured his 95th Group 1 win aboard Broadsiding and gave full credit on tactics to the Cummings team. “It’s not a lot of fun out there but when you win a Group One, I suppose it’s good fun,” said McDonald. “Gee, he’s a trier. He had it written all over him last start so I came here with good confidence. I thought he would handle the conditions well. He was a nice, fit horse. “Sometime I do what I’m told, and sometimes I don’t. He left us with no real option. It was just get back and brush home and if you handle it, you handle it. Race tactics don’t really get involved there. You’re either on a horse that can handle it, or if you’re not you’re cast.” Horse racing news View the full article

Medoro (f, 3, Honor Code–Achira, by English Channel), winner of the Blue Norther S. Dec. 29 and China Doll S. Mar. 10, made it a perfect four-for-four in Saturday's GIII Providencia S. at Santa Anita. Making her first attempt beyond a mile here, the 1-5 favorite tugged her way into second to keep close tabs on Shiloh's Mistress (Vino Rosso). Medoro made her move approaching the quarter pole, gained a narrow advantage in the stretch and was all out to outbox the aforementioned pacesetter by a nose. Circle of Trust (Union Rags) was third. Lifetime Record: 4-4-0-0. O-C R K Stable LLC; B-Parks Investment Group, LLC (KY); T-Peter Eurton. MEDORO ($2.40) WAS SO TOUGH! She remained undefeated by nosing out a very game Shiloh's Mistress in the $100,000 Providencia Stakes (G3) at @SantaAnitaPark. @Antonio1Fresu guided the 3-year-old Honor Code filly to victory for trainer @EurtonRacing. pic.twitter.com/qyrbhIm7sA — TVG (@TVG) April 20, 2024 The post Honor Code’s Medoro Stays Perfect in Providencia appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
