Regular updates from across the Tasman have kept a constant smile on New Plymouth trainer Allan Sharrock’s face since his stable star Ladies Man (NZ) (Zed) left for Australia. Sharrock will head over on Friday to put the finishing touches on his Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) contender, who will step out at Flemington on Saturday in the Gr.3 Lexus Archer Stakes (2500m). Ladies Man booked his passage with a last-start victory in the Gr1. Livamol Classic (2040m) on the final day of the Hawke’s Bay spring carnival and travelled to Australia in the care of Sharrock’s partner Emma Davies. “He went over last Wednesday and from all reports, he looks super, and he worked super on Saturday, he’s very, very well,” he said. Ladies Man is stabled at the Mornington training operation of Sharrock’s long-time friend and former top jumps jockey Brett Scott. “We go back a long way, I was best man at his wedding. Everything seems to be going to plan at this stage and the horse is in a happy environment and Emma is really, really thrilled with him,” he said. Part-owned by Sharrock with the O’Leary and Stanley families, Ladies Man has won seven of his 22 starts and proved his depths of stamina last season with a stout finish from the tail of the field to run third in the Gr.2 Auckland Cup (3200m). He will be given a chance to familiarise himself with the track and the atmosphere on Saturday. “The Lexus isn’t the goal, it’s the Cup obviously but he can have a good look at Flemington and get a feel for the crowd before Tuesday,” Sharrock said. “There was one wise old trainer who always raced them on the Saturday and then the Cup and that was Bart Cummings, so I don’t see any problem with it. “He can pull a little bit in his races, so a run on Saturday will just take that edge off him, it should work out well.” Lightweight jockey Dean Yendall has been booked for the Lexus and the Cup. “He will ride him in both, he’s only got 50kg in the Cup and I’ll need a wheelbarrow to take the saddle out on Saturday because I think he’ll have 58 or 59kg,” Sharrock said. Meanwhile, Sharrock is also looking forward to a major result in another role at the upcoming New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale at Karaka where will offer Lot 116 through Woburn Farms’ draft. The two-year-old is a half-brother by Contributer to the multiple Group One winner and Hong Kong Star Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse), with their dam the Red Clubs mare Madonna Mia (NZ). She was trained by Sharrock to win on nine occasions, including the Listed Wanganui Cup (2040m). “He breezed up really well and I think he’ll go close to being one of the sale toppers. He’s a beautiful colt, he really is such a lovely horse,” he said. “Luigi Muollo (Novara Park principal) and I are partners and we go foal for foal. He has one and then I have one and she’s gone to Savabeel for me this year. “She’s been a great mare for us and everything she has can run, it’s quite exciting.” Madonna Mia has also left Lucky Sweynesse’s sister Signora Mia (NZ), a three-time winner who finished third in the Gr.1 Queensland Oaks (2200m), and debut placegetter Lazio (NZ), a son of Per Incanto.

Brando will contest run at Tauranga on Saturday. Photo: Trish Dunell Te Akau Racing co-trainer Sam Bergerson is looking forward to heading to Tauranga on Saturday where he will line-up nine runners on the nine-race card. Group 1 performer Brando will be fresh-up in the Flying Mullet Sports Bar 1400 and Bergerson is hoping he can recapture winning form. “Brando has had a quick freshen. He got a little bug following his last run,” said Bergerson, who trains in partnership with Mark Walker. “We are going to run him in the Open 1400m and then back him up a fortnight later in that weight-for-age mile (Group 2 Gartshore Tauranga Stakes). “It would be good to see him find form. He started to find a bit of form this time last year so hopefully he can run a cheeky race on Saturday.” Bergerson is also upbeat about the chances of stakes winner Fierce Flight in the Seeka 2100, and Cu Chulainn and Valentine in the Aongatete Avo-Ject 3YO 1200. “Fierce Flight has only run okay but he has an alright record at Tauranga. It is weather dependent on him, we wouldn’t want too much rain,” he said. “Valentine was a touch disappointing at Rotorua. We are going to put the blinkers on him. He is working well at home, so we think he presents a nice chance. “Cu Chulainn had good South Island form as a two-year-old so it will be good to see him kick back off at the races as a three-year-old. I am sure he is capable of running a bold, cheeky race first-up.” More racing news View the full article

Wolverine winning the Group 2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes (1100m). Photo: Race Images Wolverine showed she has lost none of her x factor when making her New Zealand return at the Te Rapa trials on Tuesday. Initially trained in New Zealand by Roydon Bergerson, the daughter of Tivaci won three of her five starts as a juvenile, including the Group 2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes (1100m) and Group 2 Eclipse Stakes (1200m), and was runner-up in the Karaka Million 2YO (1200m) and Group 1 Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m). During her marvellous two-year-old run, a majority stake in the filly was sold to Australian Bloodstock, and she continued her career in Australia under the guidance of Kris Lees as a three-year-old. While she didn’t post a victory across the Tasman, she was stakes placed on five occasions, including the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) and Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m). She was subsequently offered at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale earlier this year where she was secured by Te Akau Racing principal David Ellis’ bid of A$850,000. Coming near full circle, Wolverine returned to New Zealand and is now trained by Roydon Bergerson’s son, Sam, alongside Mark Walker at Matamata. Sam Bergerson previously part-owned the now four-year-old and he was excited to see her comfortably win her 900m heat at Te Rapa on Tuesday. “I was in the ownership of her when Dad trained her and he is now retained in the ownership. I gave him plenty of stick when he was training her and now he is giving it to me,” Bergerson quipped. “Hopefully we can get some results and keep the pressure off. “It was really exciting to see her trial like that and see her back out in a public setting in New Zealand. She seems very well and is on the right track. “It is very exciting for the team – a lot of the ownership group from the time Dad was training her have stayed in, and there are some good new owners and some really loyal existing owners involved.” New Zealand punters won’t have long to wait to see Wolverine back at the races, with the mare set to tackle the Listed Legacy Lodge Sprint (1200m) at Te Rapa next week. “We are going to kick her off here on Saturday-week in the Legacy Lodge Sprint, which is tracking to be a pretty good field. It should be interesting,” Bergerson said. “Longer term, we are thinking about something like the Telegraph or Railway. We think 1200-1400m (is her best distance) at this stage, but whether we do stretch her out to a mile will be guided by her first couple of runs.” Wolverine beat home stablemate Aotea Lad in her heat and Bergerson said he is tracking well ahead of his race return. “He is back for another campaign and I thought he trialled really well,” Bergerson said. “He is getting a bit longer in the tooth now, but he is still showing that he has got a zest for racing and he jumped well and put himself there. “Jess (Allen) rode him and she was really happy. He is getting a bit tougher to place now but hopefully he has got a few more wins left instore.” Wolverine was thwarted of a Group 1 scalp as a juvenile by now stablemate Maven Belle, and now the two are on a collision course to meet as four-year-olds. Maven Belle dead-heated her 900m heat with stablemate Aris Aris, and is now on an identical path as Wolverine, with the pair renewing their rivalry in next Saturday’s Legacy Lodge Sprint. “She was building up towards the Foxbridge but didn’t really come up so we gave her a bit of a freshen-up,” Bergerson said. “She will hopefully kick-off next week in the Legacy Lodge Sprint and is another who has got some nice sprinting targets over summer – something like the Railway or Telegraph.” Bergerson was also pleased with Group 1 performer Wild Night’s win in his 900m heat. The Vanbrugh gelding was impressive as a three-year-old when winning five of his nine starts, including the Group 2 James and Annie Sarten Memorial Stakes (1400m) and Listed Uncle Remus Stakes (1400m). He also placed in the Group 1 Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) and Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m). “He has had a few setbacks and niggles, but he is another one that it’s really exciting to see back out in a public setting,” Bergerson said. “Opie (Bosson) rode him and said he jumped well, was keen, and felt really good – which was the main thing. “He takes a bit of minding but at this stage he is coming up the right way and is on track. We will probably given him another trial and map out a plan towards that four-year-old Karaka Million.” More racing news View the full article

What Gosford Races Where The Entertainment Grounds – 4 Racecourse Rd, West Gosford NSW 2250 When Thursday, November 2, 2023 First Race 1:10pm AEDT Visit Dabble Gosford is set to host a stacked eight-race program on Thursday afternoon, with the opening race scheduled for 1:10pm local time. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with improving conditions forecast leading into race-day, we’re expecting an upgrade from a Soft 5 to a Good 4 surface. Best Bet: Lady Redwood Lady Redwood will be seeking back-to-back wins after scoring in metropolitan company at Warwick Farm on October 2. Jockey Anna Roper produced an excellent rail-hugging ride on that occasion, sliding through to score by a length. Lady Redwood will need to lug an extra 6kg on Thursday as she drops back into BM64 grade; however, she has the quality on her resume that many of her rivals shouldn’t be able to match. Best Bet Race 3 – #1 Lady Redwood (6) 6yo Mare | T: Paul Murray | J: Adam Hyeronimus (60kg) +270 with Betfair Next Best: Unquestionably Unquestionably impressed in his debut run at Kembla Grange on October 12, where he travelled beautifully behind Zondee before fading late on fitness. It was always going to be a tough task kicking off the campaign over 1500m, and now the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace team has elected to step her up to the 1900m second-up. If the stable expects her to stay the journey, we’re happy to back Unquestionably in this event. Next Best Race 2 – #2 Unquestionably (1) 3yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher & David Eustace | J: Jason Collett (58.5kg) +220 with Neds Next Best Again: Flying Rani Flying Rani will debut on Thursday afternoon and has been trialling the house down for the Matthew Smith barn. Her two jump-outs at Warwick Farm have been sensational, with the daughter of Flying Artie showing plenty of versatility. Rachel King took the reins in her latest winning trial and elected to lead throughout on October 9, allowing the filly to stride clear under her own steam. Flying Rani can do something similar on race-day and looks ready to produce first-up. Next Best Again Race 4 – #4 Flying Rani (7) 3yo Filly | T: Matthew Smith | Rachel King (55.5kg) +350 with Bet365 Thursday Gosford quaddie tips – November 2, 2023 Gosford quadrella selections Thursday, November 2, 2023 4-8-12 1-2-3-5-9 1-2-4-6-9 3-4-7 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip More horse racing tips View the full article

Ladies Man winning the Group 1 Livamol Classic. Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) Regular updates from across the Tasman have kept a constant smile on New Plymouth trainer Allan Sharrock’s face since his stable star Ladies Man left for Australia.

Last weekend the Cox Plate Carnival at Moonee Valley took centre stage on Friday and Saturday, while Spring Champion Stakes Day was held at Randwick. From those two meetings, we have found three runners who look primed to win next time out. Moonee Valley Track rating: Good 4 Rail position: True entire circuit Race 4: Listed Crockett Stakes (1200m) | Time: 1:10.97 Horse to follow: Saltaire (2nd) After on-pace runners dominated the first three races at Moonee Valley last Saturday, the John O’Shea-trained Saltaire was one of the first to make up any ground from deep. This three-year-old filly settled last on the fence and Blake Shinn made his move at the 400m mark, eventually getting to the outside of runners to let down in the home straight. When this daughter of Star Turn hit full speed, she recorded the fastest last 400m and 200m sectionals of the entire meeting, yet she was nosed out in a close photo finish. When to bet: Although Saltaire was second-up last weekend, she had been given eight weeks between runs, so she should be hitting peak fitness at her next start. The Group 3 Thoroughbred Club Stakes at Caulfield on November 18 over 1200m looks an ideal race for her to target next. Randwick Track rating: Soft 5 Rail position: True entire circuit Race 7: Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) | Time: 2:01.28 Horse to follow: Cap Ferrat (2nd) Tom Kitten was a dominant winner of the Spring Champion Stakes, but of the beaten brigade, Cap Ferrat from the Chris Waller yard was the clear standout. The three-year-old colt followed the favourite in the run, but at a crucial stage when the Tom Kitten got into clear air, this guy got squeezed and couldn’t follow him through. By the time he got back into clear running, the winner was off and gone, but this son of Snitzel knuckled down in the final 100m to beat the third horse by a length. When to bet: Cap Ferrat is still a maiden; however, the further in distance that he competes, the better this colt’s results have been. The Group 1 VRC Derby is next on the agenda, and you would expect that the extra 500m will prove beneficial. Race 8: The Invitation (1400m) | Time: 1:21.74 Horse to follow: Magic Time (3rd) Grahame Begg-trained Magic Time was a well-backed favourite in The Invitation, and even though she finished third behind Espiona and Ruthless Dame, her run shouldn’t be underestimated. After jumping well, Tyler Schiller chose to push forward on his mare and ultimately got stuck three wide for the entire trip, giving the eventual runner-up cover out deep. However, when the leading trio hit the 200m mark, this daughter of Hellbent was still well in the contest, and she kicked back to only go down by 0.3 of a length. When to bet: After proving that 1400m is no worry, Magic Time should be headed towards more fillies and mares races over that trip in Sydney. The Group 2 Hot Danish Stakes at Rosehill on November 11 will give her three weeks between starts and looks like a perfect race for her. Latest horse racing tips View the full article

Maiden Watch: Breeders' Cup 2023 runnersView the full article

After firing a five-furlong warning shot at Santa Anita Monday morning, Zedan Racing's 'TDN Rising Star' Arabian Knight (Uncle Mo) was installed as the 3-1 morning-line favorite while drawing post 12 at the Rood & Riddle Post-Position Draw for Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Classic. The Bob Baffert-trained GI Pacific Classic hero and $2.3 million OBS April breezer will face 12 rivals in the $6-million centerpiece, including the rail-drawn GI Belmont S. and GI Travers S. hero Arcangelo (Arrogate), GI Whitney S. winner White Abarrio (Race Day) and G1 Dubai World Cup winner Ushba Tesoro (Jpn) (Orfevre {Jpn}). “I know this is going to be a tough race, but if he brings his 'A' game, I don't really care who's running against us,” Baffert said. Breeders' Cup 40, to be held for the 11th time at Santa Anita, will celebrate the return of four winners–Caravel (Mizzen Mast) (Turf Sprint), Cody's Wish (Curlin) (Dirt Mile), Elite Power (Curlin) (Sprint) and Goodnight Olive (Ghostzapper) (F/M Sprint)–from the 2022 Championships at Keeneland. Morning-line favorites for Saturday's nine Breeders' Cup events, in race order, as follows: Cody's Wish (Curlin) (post three) (9/5) (Dirt Mile); Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) (post 6) (5-2) (Filly & Mare Turf); Goodnight Olive (Ghostzapper) (post 1) (6/5) (Filly & Mare Sprint); Japanese-based G1 Yasuda Kinen winner Songline (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}) (post 10) (5-2) (Mile); streaking GI Juddmonte Spinster S. heroine Idiomatic (Curlin) (post four) (5-2) (Distaff); G1 Juddmonte International S. winner Mostahdaf (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) (post nine) (5-2) (Turf); 'Rising Star' Arabian Knight (Uncle Mo) (post 12) (3-1) (Classic); Live In The Dream (Ire) (Prince of Lir {Ire}) (post five) (9-2) (Turf Sprint); and Elite Power (Curlin) (post eight) (9/5) (Sprint). Morning-line favorites for the 'Future Stars' Friday card, in race order, as follows: G2 Flying Childers S. winner Big Evs (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}) (post four) (3-1) (Juvenile Turf Sprint); the legendary Beholder's unbeaten GI Del Mar Debutante S. heroine and 'Rising Star' Tamara (Bolt d'Oro) (post seven) (4/5) (Juvenile Fillies); unbeaten GI Natalma S. heroine She Feels Pretty (Karakontie {Jpn}) (post 11) (4-1) (Juvenile Fillies Turf); GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity winner and 'Rising Star' Locked (Gun Runner) (post 6) (7-2) (Juvenile); and the Aidan O'Brien-trained G2 Coventry S. winner and G1 Middle Park S. third-place finisher River Tiber (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) (post two) (3-1) (Juvenile Turf).

GI Breeders' Cup Classic contender Arabian Knight (Uncle Mo) was first onto the main track Monday morning when he worked a bullet five furlongs in :59 flat, will walk at the barn Tuesday, and then is planned to return to the track Wednesday. “He's healthy, he's working well. There have been no hiccups,” Baffert said. “He's ready. I know this is going to be a tough race, but if he brings his 'A' game, I don't really care who's running against us. That's my focus with him.” The colt made an auspicious debut at Keeneland during the 2022 Breeders' Cup under card. The seven-length romp and a subsequent resounding victory at Oaklawn Park put him squarely in the Kentucky Derby discussions until he was sidelined for half a year. He returned to the races in the GI Haskell S., finishing third in an effort Baffert says showed Arabian Knight had some growing up to do: “The race was a disaster,” Baffert said of his runner's effort in which he relinquished the lead late. “He was too fresh and wouldn't rate on the lead. I think it showed his immaturity. But despite the outcome, we did learn from it.” Two months later, he won the GI Pacific Classic over the extended 10-furlong distance and prevailed in a hard-fought contest: “That was a good race,” he recalled. “I thought Arabian Knight might get beat from the quarter-pole home, but he really dug it. Now he's finally getting into form where we're going to see the best of him.” Baffert added: “We always thought of him as a top-class horse. You could see that as a yearling, which is why he cost us a pretty penny [$250,000 at KEESEP; $2.3 million 2-year-old at OBSAPR in 2022].” GI Belmont S. winner Arcangelo (Arrogate) walked the shedrow for the second day in a row Monday after having a shoe removed Saturday afternoon. “He just walked today,” said trainer Jena Antonucci. “I wasn't able to get the shoe back on yet. He walked for about 45 minutes. There's no reason not to have an extra walk day on him. He's pretty fresh back there, so I probably won't be able to get many more walks on him. I'm happy with the direction it's going. Everything is going the right way.” Japanese Runners Fine Tune Japan's Classic contender Ushba Tesoro (Jpn) (Orfevre {Jpn}) had a routine warm-up and canter around the Santa Anita dirt track, but things were less than routine when he was schooling at the gate Monday morning. The G1 Dubai World Cup winner kicked out multiple times and was irritable with the gate crew. “The gate is set lower than in Japan and he's such a big horse that the doors brushed against his hocks in an awkward manner, causing him to kick out,” explained the Breeders' Cup Japan representative Kate Hunter. “The vet checked him over and there are no issues. We will school him again on Wednesday after his breeze. For horses with similar issues, Santa Anita provides green mats that tie to the inside of the starting gate that we will use with him. They hug the hind-end and make it easier. We will now use that with all of our runners.” Fellow Japanese hopeful Songline (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}) (Mile) cantered two laps of the turf with the final half easing up. Juveniles & Sophomore Sprinters Make Moves In his final prep for the GI Qatar Racing Breeders' Cup Sprint, Speed Boat Beach (Bayern) worked four furlongs in :47 4/5 and will walk at the barn Tuesday. Back from a long freshening to only begin his 3-year-old year in September, the colt made a strong impression in that seasonal bow, battling for the lead throughout the six furlong contest before ultimately just missing by a head on the wire. “I really liked his comeback race,” Baffert said. “Since that effort, he's trained really well. I've got the screws tightened on him now.” Bill Mott, no stranger to a big day at the Breeders' Cup, sent out GI Frizette victress Just F Y I (Justify) to work four furlongs in :48 3/5 with assistant trainer Neil Pozansky in the irons. The Krikorian homebred will try to get her owner his first 'Cup victory in 11 starts via the GI NetJets Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies alongside War Like Goddess' second tilt in the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Turf against the boys. Of Just F Y I's work, Mott was very happy: “She went well. She had galloped really strong for two days in a row and I didn't want to work her off that. Neil was really happy with her and she looked great to me. He said she felt good and was responsive to whatever he wanted when she started the work.” Unleash the Europeans On the international front, the Saturday arrivals were released from quarantine Monday night and will be on track to train Tuesday morning. Live In The Dream (Ire) (Prince of Lir {Ire}), in prep for the Turf Sprint, had a strong canter on the grass over five furlongs. He continued to travel with great enthusiasm in the hands of regular work rider Shoshana Cooksley since arriving. His owners Steve and Jolene De'Lemos were trackside to watch their sprinter exercise. Mawj (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), also part of the Mile contingent, had a canter around the main track, gate schooled, and then walked in the gates before backing out in controlled fashion. The Godolphin team swapped riders to do the gate schooling with regular work rider Michael Greig hopping off for Matthew Lawson, who stood her in the gates. “Mawj exercised very well this morning,” Greig said. “I'm really happy with her. She knows what she needs to do so I just leave it up to her.” The post Breeders’ Cup Monday Bulletin: Locals, International Challengers On Track appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
