Wandering Eyes

Taranaki trainer Robbie Patterson kicked off his assault on the stakes races at Trentham on Saturday with a bang as underrated mare Our Jumala prevailed in a titanic struggle in the Gr.3 Wentwood Grange Cuddle Stakes (1600m). The six-year-old daughter of Zed has always shown plenty of promise throughout her career including a runner-up finish in the Gr.3 Manawatu Breeders’ Stakes (2000m) at this time last year and finally achieved a richly deserved stakes race victory with a barnstorming finish in the hands of Joe Doyle. A winning result didn’t look likely however, as Cambridge visitor and pacemaker Electron was still travelling sweetly in front at the 200m and looked difficult to catch as Doyle and Our Jumala were still a length or more in arrears but finishing powerfully along with race favourite Pearl Of Alsace. Wit several powerful bounds Our Jumala hit the front in the shadows of the post to down Pearl Of Alsace by the barest of margins with Electron, between the pair, just a long neck back in third. Patterson admitted he had always had faith in his charge and was thrilled that she finally lived up to his expectations, despite the narrow winning margin. “I thought we had won but didn’t Pearl Of Alsace come hard,” Patterson said. “This is great for the owners who are great mates of mine, it’s unbelievable actually. “She is a good mare that has taken a long time to mature, a typical Zed. Let’s get into the winter with her now as she loves the cut in the track. “I had her mother (Baltis) who won five and she was a good mare as well. “She got a foot abscess about six months ago and everything seemed to go wrong for her, but she is a Group Three winner now so that’s great.” Irishman Doyle, who had already won two races on the day including the FRAC Club New Zealand St Leger (2500m) aboard Wolfgang, was delighted to pick up a big-race victory for Patterson who has supported him since he began riding in New Zealand. “Robbie said she was very straightforward, put her in behind the speed and she would have her chance,” he said. “She was very tough and the more I asked her the more she gave even though it was only a small margin (at the finish). “It’s nice to get a big one for Robbie as he always tries to support me, so it’s nice to ride a big winner for him. “We couldn’t really see her (Pearl Of Alsace) as all my filly was thinking was to get by Electron, but she is very tough and honest and has been rewarded. She is a real fun one to look forward to.” Bred by co-owner Bill Stewart out of his Al Akbar mare Baltis, Our Jumala is the younger sister of handy performer Password who successfully mixed racing on the flat and over the jumps while she is also a half-sister to stakes placed galloper Tibetan. She has now won six of her 21 starts and $260,000 in prizemoney. View the full article

Cilacap ridden by Jordan Childs wins the Group 3 Alexandra Stakes at Moonee Valley Racecourse. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Jordan Childs delivered a perfect ride aboard Cilacap ($8.00) to capture the Group 3 Alexandra Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on Saturday, giving the Written Tycoon filly her second black type success in impressive style. Trainer Grahame Begg has had a remarkable autumn with his team, and Cilacap added another highlight to the stable’s season with her powerful performance. After drawing barrier two, Childs was able to find a soft spot on the fence behind a genuine tempo, biding his time until the final 300m when a run presented. Too Darn Lizzie () and Phenom ($13.00), both trained by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott, ensured a strong gallop throughout the race. The favourite had to work from a wide gate and appeared to have the measure of her rivals on the turn, only for Cilacap to surge through underneath and sprint clear late. Click here for all Moonee Valley race relays. Saturday’s win was a significant return to form and provided Begg with confirmation the filly is tracking perfectly towards the Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) at Morphettville on April 26. “She’s brought a bit of happiness to the family during a tough few weeks,” said Begg. “She really made a lie of her last run, and that was a terrific ride from Jordie today. The team at home have done a bloody good job with her.” Childs, who had previously partnered the filly in jump-outs and trackwork, was delighted to finally get the chance to steer her on race day. “I probably pestered Grahame a bit to get on her,” said Childs. “She gave me the feel of a very good horse and she showed that today. I was confident when the rain came — she loves the sting out — and the race opened up perfectly.” Cilacap is now a $10 chance with the top horse racing bookmakers for the Australian Oaks set to be run on April 12 at Randwick.

Chris Waller‘s dominance continued at Rosehill in the 2025 Ranvet Stakes, with his exceptional mare, Via Sistina, securing victory and edging closer to Winx’s seasonal Group 1 record, defeating stablemate Lindermann.

Shanwah ridden by Ethan Brown wins the Alister Clark Stakes at Moonee Valley Racecourse. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Progressive gelding Shanwah extended his winning streak to four with a dominant display in Saturday’s $500,000 Group 2 Alister Clark Stakes (2040m) at Moonee Valley, further stamping himself as a serious Australian Derby contender. Trained by Ciaron Maher and ridden to perfection by Ethan Brown, the son of Too Darn Hot overcame a sluggish start to land in the coveted one-one position before launching a powerful move approaching the turn. Brown allowed Shanwah to cruise into the race three-wide at the 400m and the talented three-year-old did the rest as the $2.25 bookmaker favourite, surging clear and holding off a late dive from Imperialist to score by two lengths, with Statuario a narrow third. Click here for all Moonee Valley race relays. “He missed the kick and I was a bit worried then,” said Brown post-race. “But he’s very quick on his feet and recovered well. He relaxed beautifully once they slowed it up and then really put them away when it mattered.” The win followed up his strong victory in the Group 2 Autumn Classic (1800m) and took Shanwah’s record to four wins from eight starts and over $550,000 in prizemoney. “He’s a horse on the up,” said assistant trainer Jack Turnbull. “We’ll chat with the team and the owners, but if he comes through this well, Sydney and the Derby are on the radar.” The race was run at a dawdling early tempo, with Shanwah clocking a winning time of 2:10.65 on a Soft 5 surface, well outside standard. But it was his finishing burst that caught the eye, especially with the 2400m of the Group 1 Australian Derby looming in two weeks’ time. reacted accordingly, trimming Shanwah into $6.00 in all-in betting for the April 5 feature at Randwick, behind Willydoit ($3.60) and Goldrush Guru ($4.50).

Via Sistina ridden by James McDonald takes out the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes at Rosehill. Photo: bradleyphotos.com.au Via Sistina (-454.55) has recorded her second straight Group 1 Ranvet Stakes in as many years, with Chris Waller and James McDonald combining for another Group 1 feature at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon. The star mare was sent around as a long odds-on favourite with Dabble, and even though she took her time to get past her stablemate Lindermann, the Cox Plate winner eventually cleared out and claimed a dominant win. After being nicknamed the ‘Pride Of Jenni of Canada,’ Full Count Felicia (+1300) led the small field at a strong gallop ahead of Lindermann (+1000), while Golden Path (+3000) tried to hold Via Sistina on the rail. However, as the tempo lifted around the home turn, McDonald pushed his way off the rail and released the brakes on the eventual winner. Lindermann quickly took over from the tiring leader, but with McDonald getting everything out of his mare, Via Sistina grabbed the lead at the 150m mark and started to pull clear to win by two lengths. Fawkner Park (+1300) finished off strongly again to claim third place, but it was all honours to the winner as Via Sistina recorded her seventh Group 1 success in Australia. Click here for all Rosehill race relays. Chris Waller was very happy with the victory post-race. “Well, she lit up our lives, as I said, 12 months ago today. We didn’t know what we had coming out of quarantine, and obviously we had a good article and a good horse to work with. And a very supporting team with Yulong, we were lucky enough to get some support from them,” Waller said. “So, back to the horse, like she is a star. “She’s a lovely, big, unassuming horse. But come race day, she really turns it on. “We don’t dare light her up in the mornings because what she’s capable of, like she’s a real powerhouse.” “Her track rider, Chris Harwood, said, oh, if we get her flying like one day she might just keep going as we saw. So, yeah, she’s a gentle giant that graces the turf. Following his fifth win in the Ranvet Stakes, James McDonald spoke post-race. “She’s well up there that’s for sure. She’s definitely good,” McDonald said of Via Sistina. “It takes a good one to beat the big boy though but she’s well up there and she turns up each and every time, which I’m so proud of her because if she was going to get beat, it could have been easily a race like this. “A little bit tricky, but as we’ve seen she’s getting more versatile. “It felt like it was a mile race. She was really tanking up and hence the beat of sweat, so I’ve earned my money. “Chris Harwood does a really good job, because as it was well documented, she was supposed to gallop here last Saturday, I wouldn’t have the strength to hold her because she just tanks around so Chris does a good job. “Same with all the other guys there. “He’s got a fantastic team there, and they work the horses brilliantly, so they don’t need my help, but it’s nice to be partnering them on race day, and it’s a really good feeling.” Horse racing news View the full article

Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Autumn Glow returned to racing with an emphatic win in the Listed Darby Munro Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on Golden Slipper Day, extending her unbeaten streak to four for the powerhouse Chris Waller-James McDonald combination. The glamour filly was asked to dig deep under a determined ride from McDonald, stalking a hot speed set by Flying For Fun before unleashing her class over the final 200m to overhaul Enriched ($14) and prove she’s right back on track, with the top online bookmakers having her priced as a $1.80 favourite. Enriched gave a bold sight up on the speed and held on for second, while Gangsta Granny () boxed on gamely to grab third ahead of a fast-finishing Sergeant Major (). Click here for all Rosehill race relays. Trainer Chris Waller said the 1200m was short of her best but was thrilled with the way Autumn Glow fought through an awkward run to win on class alone. “We probably asked her a little more than expected today, but it was just good to see her strong late,” Waller said. “She’s still learning, but she’s come back in great order. The Arrowfield Sprint in three weeks looks a nice option.” Jockey James McDonald was full of praise for the daughter of The Autumn Sun, admitting she wasn’t entirely comfortable early. “The win was better than it looked,” McDonald said. “I was caught in a tricky spot, three-wide for a bit, but she’s just so classy. She took no chances today – she’s very good.” Autumn Glow remains one of the most exciting fillies in training and firmed into a $2.50 favourite with for the Group 2 Arrowfield Sprint (1200m) on April 12.

8th-Fair Grounds, $53,800, Alw (NW1X)/Opt. Clm ($100,000), 3-21, 3yo, f, 5 1/2fT, 1:04.31, fm, 3/4 length. HEY BERTIE (f, 3, Kantharos–Believe in Bertie {MSW & MGSP, $413,482}, by Langfuhr) debuted a winner by 1 1/2 lengths in an off-the-turf sprint in New Orleans Jan. 17. After firing a bullet on the fast track in the Big Easy Mar. 14 (4f, :47.80, 1/114), the filly was well-backed as the 9-5 choice here. The homebred bided her time near the rear of the field up the backstretch as a scramble for the lead ensued on the engine. With longshot Bet Towinit (Star Guitar) attempting to go gate to wire, Hey Bertie went on the offensive around the far turn and with a furlong left the filly started to make headway. The 3-year-old punched the accelerator, collared her target in sight of the wire and won by 3/4 of a length. The winner is a half-sister to stablemate Brilliant Berti (Noble Mission {GB}), GSW, $1,601,285, who is entered in Saturday's GII Muniz Memorial Classic Stakes at Fair Grounds. Believe in Bertie was a $200,000 purchase by Hanzly Albina at the Fasig-Tipton December Digital Sale while a filly who was foaled Feb. 18 was in-utero. Hey Bertie's third dam is MGSW Allamerican Bertie (Quiet American). Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $66,600. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. O/B-Klein Racing (KY); T-Cherie DeVaux. #5 HEY BERTIE ($8.60), the half-sister to G3 winner Brilliant Bertie, broke her maiden on debut in the 7th race at @fairgroundsnola. @b_hernandezjr was aboard the three-year-old Kantharos filly for trainer @reredevaux. pic.twitter.com/2FcCgDtL09 — FanDuel Racing (@FanDuel_Racing) January 17, 2025 The post DeVaux Dropping Dimes As Hey Bertie Dunks On Fair Grounds Field appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Typically, Scott Dilworth, along with his wife Evan, are found on the other side of the ticket. Longtime successful pinhookers, they notably purchased a yearling son of Uncle Mo for $250,000 at KEESEP in 2021 only to sell him as a 2-year-old seven months later for a sales-topping $2,300,000 at OBS April. That colt, under the tutelage of Bob Baffert, became Arabian Knight, a Grade I winner who joined the roster at Hill 'n' Dale for his first season at stud this year. Fast forward three years and it's a $400,000 son of McKinzie, who first caught Dilworth's eye as a weanling, who has the pair on the Road to the Kentucky Derby for the first time as Furio tackles Saturday's GII Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby. “The first time I ever saw him, I saw driving up to the [Keeneland] November Sale,” Dilworth remembered. “I passed Barn 15 and they were showing horses. There were a whole bunch of horses out and I just spotted him. I stopped the car, got out and asked what number he was to keep him in my head. He was my favorite weanling in that sale. I chased him and he brought $300,000 and that was just too much for me to pinhook but I absolutely loved him. Then I saw that he was entered in the [Fasig-Tipton] Saratoga Sale and I thought, 'he's going to bring a ton of money up here' because I thought he was the best colt in the sale.” Dilworth had to strike only a single bid on the son of 'TDN Rising Star' Take Charge Angel (Will Take Charge), herself a half to the late MGISW Cave Rock (Arrogate), taking him home for $400,000. And while pinhooking was always on the table, Dilworth knew that if the colt had potential, he'd wind up keeping him. “I gave him to Raul Reyes at King's Equine,” said Dilworth. “I told Raul, 'train him like we're gonna wind up at a sale' but I remember thinking that I may end up keeping him if we think he's a true racehorse. And all along, I felt like he was a true racehorse.” Furio made his racing debut at Churchill Downs for trainer Joe Sharp last September, leading the race as the favorite until the final eighth when he was caught and wound up third. After a few months off, he got things back on track with a four-length gate-to-wire win at the Fair Grounds Jan. 20 and was most recently second when going two turns behind another Louisiana Derby contender in Instant Replay (Maximum Security) Feb. 17. “I wish we would've gotten one more [race] in before the [Louisiana] Derby,” Dilworth admitted. “We just felt like we know he could be competitive and that's why we're here. He's been excellent in his works, galloping out real good. Joe Sharp's done a great job and we're just excited to be a part of it.” And while the temptation to start smelling roses has caught many an owner dreaming, Dilworth admits he's taking it “one race at a time” for his colt who is yet to be nominated to the Triple Crown series. And as the sales calendar turns back around to the 2-year-olds with OBS March already in the books, Dilworth is content sticking with what he knows. “I'd rather sell the dream than live the dream,” he said with a laugh, noting that he'd already pinhooked several of the yearlings he purchased from last year. “Evan and I feel very, very blessed to have what we think is a good horse and to be able to compete at this level.” The post Furio A First Derby Contender For Scott And Evan Dilworth appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

A year after recording a GII TwinSpires.com Louisiana Derby-GII Fasig-Tipton Fair Grounds Oaks double with Catching Freedom and Tarifa, trainer Brad Cox will saddle the morning-line favorites in both races Saturday. The rail-drawn John Hancock (Constitution), a game wire-to-wire winner over next-out GIII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby winner Owen Almighty (Speightstown) in the Sam F. Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs Feb. 8, will put his two-for-two record on the line in the Louisiana Derby. The WinStar Farm and CHC, Inc. colorbearer is the 7-2 program favorite. The stretch-running Gary and Mary West homebred Instant Replay (Maximum Security) enters for Cox following a breakthrough victory in a local optional claimer Feb. 17. The field of 10 also includes: GII Fasig-Tipton Risen Star Stakes two-three-four Chunk of Gold (Preservationist), Built (Hard Spun) and Vassimo (Nyquist); and narrow Sunland Park Derby runner-up Caldera (Liam's Map). Both Built and Vassimo will be adding blinkers. The Louisiana Derby offers 200 points (100-50-25-15-10) on the road to the GI Kentucky Derby. “We feel they both deserve a shot at getting to the Kentucky Derby,” Cox said. “We've been fortunate to win this race twice and in two different ways. Wells Bayou on the front end and coming from well off the pace with Catching Freedom. The track tends to play fair, and our colts each have a different running style. We feel we're set up with two big opportunities.” The five-for-five Godolphin homebred and 4-5 Fair Grounds Oaks morning-line favorite Good Cheer (Medaglia d'Oro), meanwhile, kicked off her sophomore campaign for Cox with a runaway win in the GII Fasig-Tipton Rachel Alexandra Stakes Feb. 15. The Fair Grounds Oaks carries 200 (100-50-25-15-10) GI Kentucky Oaks qualifying points. “She's just different,” said Cox, who has won three previous renewals of the Fair Grounds Oaks. “The word I always use is class.” The stacked 12-race Louisiana Derby program also includes the return of GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner and champion 3-year-old colt 'TDN Rising Star' Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) in the GII New Orleans Classic Stakes; and a deep field of 12, headed by GI Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational Stakes winner Spirit of St Louis (Medaglia d'Oro), in the GII Muniz Memorial Classic Stakes. Breeders' Cup Classic winner Sierra Leone walking the shedrow this morning at @fairgroundsnola! He returns to the races TOMORROW! You can bet the New Orleans Classic with TwinSpires. pic.twitter.com/DBXbezI7O7 — TwinSpires Racing (@TwinSpires) March 21, 2025 Derby and Oaks Points Up for Grabs at Turfway Godolphin homebred and 'TDN Rising Star' Poster (Munnings), a very strong closing third going against the track in his sophomore debut in the Sam F. Davis, will make his first start over the synthetic for trainer Eoin Harty in Saturday's GIII Jeff Ruby Steaks at Turfway Park, which offers Kentucky Derby qualifying points on a 100-50-25-15-10 scale. The 3-1 morning-line favorite followed a pair of wins on grass with a narrow decision in last year's GII Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct. Poster | Sarah Andrew The overflow field of 13 also includes: California Burrito (Army Mule), Baby Max (Maximus Mischief) and Maximum Promise (Maximum Security), the top three finishers from the local John Battaglia Memorial Stakes Feb. 22. Led by front-running Cincinnati Trophy Stakes winner White Rocks (Frosted), a wide-open field will line up for the $300,000 Bourbonette Oaks one race earlier on the card. It awards 50-25-15-10-5 qualifying points for the Kentucky Oaks to the top five finishers. Saturday's graded action also includes the GIII TwinSpires Kentucky Cup Classic at Turfway, GIII Essex Handicap at Oaklawn Park and GIII San Luis Rey Stakes at Santa Anita.
