Equine MediRecord's software platform will be used for all equine participants during the upcoming Saudi Cup weekend. The company offers a service which allows for the full veterinary history of every participant to be recorded securely, ensuring the best possible horse welfare and aiding with crucial anti-doping procedures. The new system EMR, developed for the 2025 Saudi Cup, will automatically inform trainers from across the world of the safety and integrity regulations that need to be followed and what documents need to be submitted through the system to allow horses to run at the meeting. Records entered into the system cannot be altered, providing integrity and transparency. This includes an Arabic version of the Equine MediRecord platform to assist local trainers and veterinarians, helping to clear the Saudi-based horses through the meeting's equine welfare protocols. Clients and users of the Equine MediRecord platform include the British Horseracing Authority, Hong Kong Jockey Club, Thoroughbred Owners of California, Racing Victoria, Arabian Racing Organisation, Pegasus World Cup, Preakness Stakes and Breeders' Cup World Championships. In 2022, Equine MediRecord received a multi-million dollar investment from Merits Holdings to become part of their Business Infusions group, the largest equine veterinary software group in the world. Pierce Dargan, chief executive officer of Equine MediRecord, said, “We are thrilled about our partnership with the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia and doing all we can to help again ensure that the best horse welfare and transparency protocols are followed for this year's Saudi Cup. “We are excited to have our Arabic version of our Equine MediRecord system, which was developed with Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia's support, used for the local Saudi racehorses. We hope this will drive adoption of our system by more equine events in the region who want to ensure the best equine welfare and bio-security protocols are being followed at their events.” The post Equine MediRecord Platform to be Used at the Saudi Cup appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

With freezing weather in the forecast, Oaklawn Park has shifted its racing schedule for the coming week. The Hot Springs oval has canceled racing Friday and will move its Friday card to Saturday. The card originally scheduled for Saturday, which included the GII Rebel Stakes and GIII Honeybee Stakes, will be moved to Sunday. Races scheduled for Sunday will now be run Monday. Extreme cold temperatures also caused Turfway Park to move its Wednesday racing card to Sunday, with a first post time of 4:15 p.m. The Florence, Kentucky track canceled its Thursday card, with those races expected to be brought back as extras for upcoming entry days. Parx and Mahoning Valley Race Course were both forced to cancel their second straight day of racing Tuesday.

Retired jockey and horse advocate Rosie Napravnik will be on site at Fair Grounds Race Course to spearhead the fifth annual “New Vocations Day at the Races” Feb. 22. A four-time local riding champion who was instrumental in the opening of the New Vocations facility in Covington, Louisiana, Napravnik will join the Fair Grounds' broadcast team to help build awareness, promote success stories, provide adoption options and inspire donations for Thoroughbred aftercare. “I am very proud to be part of the fifth annual New Vocations Day at Fair Grounds,” Napravnik said. “To my knowledge, there isn't another racetrack in the country that dedicates an entire racing day to aftercare initiatives. I'm incredibly grateful to the Fair Grounds and the New Vocations staff for their efforts, on-air host Joe Kristufek in particular. He's personally invested and goes above and beyond to make this day special.” Napravnik continued, “Our mission is to raise awareness. Louisiana horsemen, at the end of their careers, we are here locally to serve your horses in aftercare. Raising funds to support this initiative is also important. We appreciate the support from the entire industry–the jockeys to the owners to the racing fans. Every little bit helps. The New Vocations satellite program in Covington, Louisiana has been a massive success. I'm super excited that New Vocations' program director Anna Ford will be joining us this year to help us celebrate that progress.” Racehorse owners, jockeys and trainers can contribute a financial donation to the Louisiana chapter of New Vocations directly through the horsemen's bookkeeper. Donations are also being accepted through Venmo @newvocations as well as the New Vocations website at https://newvocations.org/donate. “Celebrating our sixth year, our Louisiana facility has successfully served over 260 retired racehorses,” Ford said. “We have an incredible team working with the horses, and the support from the Louisiana HBPA has been instrumental to our success. We are thrilled to see an increasing number of owners and breeders reaching out to utilize our services. We are also very grateful to the Fair Grounds for hosting another New Vocations Day at the Races, and we hope this event will continue to raise awareness about our Louisiana facility and the services we offer to the racing community.” The post Rosie Napravnik Returns to Fair Grounds for New Vocations Day at the Races Feb. 22 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The first foals by Shadwell's G1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes and G1 Juddmonte International winner Mostahdaf (Ire) have been reported, including a colt out of Alaflaak, the dam of 'TDN Rising Star' Falakeyah (GB) (New Bay {GB}). The daughter of War Front is also a half-sister to the dam of Baaeed (GB) and Hukum (Ire), Aghareed (Kingmambo). The bay colt was born at Shadwell's own Derrinstown Stud in County Kildare. He is joined there by another colt out of the Listed winner Ataared (Ire) (Muhaarar {GB}) from the family of the G1 Prix Saint-Alary heroine Tawkeel (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}). Stephen Collins, Shadwell's European bloodstock manager, said, “We have two incredibly nice colts by Mostahdaf. They both have a huge amount of quality, are strong, athletic and correct as well as having great bone and depth of girth. Shadwell have supported Mostahdaf with a number of high-class mares. The initial breeder feedback is very promising.” Among the breeders to send mares to Mostahdaf in his first season at Beech House Stud in 2024 was Chris O'Dowd, who has recently welcomed a half-brother to the Listed winner and G3 Molecomb Stakes runner-up Rocket Rodney (GB) (Dandy Man {Ire}). “I couldn't be happier with my colt out of Alushta,” said O'Dowd. “He is a solid and well-bodied foal with an attractive head and a great outlook. I hope to use Mostahdaf again.” One of Mostahdaf's earliest foals is a bay colt bred by Nick Bradley out of Seven Empires (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), a half-sister to the G2 Prix Vicomtesse Vigier winner and G1 Prix Royal-Oak runner-up Sevenna's Knight (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), among others. Bradley said, “Seven Empires' colt is strong, correct, athletic with good bone. I'm very happy with him and I will be sending Mostahdaf two more mares this year.” Mostahdaf stands for a fee of £12,500 in his second season at Beech House Stud in 2025.

Winchell Thoroughbreds' Magnitude (Not This Time), who catapulted himself to the top of the list of GI Kentucky Derby contenders with a jaw-dropping 9 3/4-length victory in the GII Risen Star Stakes Saturday, has been forced off the Triple Crown trail by an ankle chip. Winchell Thoroughbreds' racing manager David Fiske confirmed the news first reported by Daily Racing Form's Marcus Hersh Tuesday. “He came out of the race Saturday good,” Fiske said. “He ate up all his feed Saturday night. They took him out and gave him a bath and he seemed to be just fine Sunday. Sometime, I believe [Tuesday] morning, he was walking and somebody saw him just kind of give a little bit. And they checked further and decided to shoot some pictures and it appeared to be a chip. We got him scheduled for surgery Wednesday.” Dr. Larry Bramlage, who will perform the surgery Wednesday in Kentucky, gave a positive prognosis for the colt. “The brief assessment from Dr. Bramlage was that the prognosis was good,” Fiske said. “He shouldn't be away for any prolonged period of time. Just using the previous cases we've done, it's usually a couple of weeks in a stall, three weeks hand walking, sometimes they get turned out for three or four weeks and sometimes, they go right back into training after hand walking. So probably somewhere between five weeks and nine weeks before he trains again.” Dismissed at 43-1 in the Risen Star, Magnitude took the field wire-to-wire and completed the nine furlongs in 1:48.85. “The performance on Saturday was one of the most exciting 3-year-old performances I've seen in a while,” Fiske said. “And not just because he was our horse. And not because he won by 9 3/4 lengths. But all of the other things, the stakes record, Randy Moss's comment that it was probably the fastest 1 1/8 miles ever run by a 3-year-old at Fair Grounds, and the 108 Beyer. I was listening to Andy Beyer on [Steve] Byk's show yesterday, he was saying, 'I don't know what to do with it, usually I just discount those kind of performances, but I don't know that looked legit.' It was just exciting. We always thought he was good, but everything conspired to come together on Saturday evening–whether it was a favorable place on the racetrack, or being forward was where you needed to be, or whatever it was. It all came together in one of the most exciting performances I've seen. And then today everything conspired to go south.” #13 MAGNITUDE ($88.40) pulls a shocking upset in the $500,000 Risen Star Stakes (G2) at @fairgroundsnola.

A total of 91 yearlings were sold in Auckland ($5.7m) on Saturday while in Christchurch today 139 yearlings were sold ($7.3m). Bought by Cran Dalgety/Kentuckiana Lodge, the highest price today went to Lot 139, a Bettor’s Delight – Imagine Me colt offered by newly crowned Breeder of the Year, Taffy Limited. For Dalgety the colt reminded him of a certain New Zealand Derby champion and multiple Group 1 winner. “He looks like Krug – if he is as fast we don’t know.” Just five lots earlier Hayden Cullen went to $160,000 to secure another Taffy Limited colt. By Captaintreacherous out of Imaginary Bet, Mahomes is a half brother to Pacer of the Year Merlin. Another well-related yearling was Lot 147, a half sister to multiple Group 1 winner Duchess Megxit. Princess Lulu (Captaintreacherous – Kensington Kate) was bought by Duchess Megxit’s trainer Barry Purdon for $250,000. Meanwhile Stonewall Stud continued their buying spree, with $895,000 outlaid in Christchurch to go with the more than $1m they spent in Auckland.

The European Pattern Committee (EPC) announced on Tuesday that it has approved the upgrade of four Group 2 races to Group 1 status, including the City Of York Stakes. Traditionally run at York's Ebor Festival in August, it will become the second all-aged seven-furlong Group 1 race in Europe, alongside the Prix de la Forèt at ParisLongchamp in October. The remaining Group 1 upgrades were all related to the EPC's continued pan-European focus on the middle-distance and staying horse. In Britain, the British Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot was upgraded to join the four existing Group 1 races on British Champions Day, while France will see the Prix Vicomtesse Vigier at ParisLongchamp upgraded, offering an earlier Group 1 opportunity for staying horses in the spring. Finally, in Ireland, the Golden Fleece for two-year-olds at Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend will be upgraded to Group 1 status for 2026, in tandem with an increase in race distance from eight furlongs to nine furlongs. The advanced notification of this upgrade is intended to allow time for participants to become aware of the change and to give the race the best chance of success from year one and thereafter. One further upgrade was approved in France, with the Prix d'Aumale at ParisLongchamp, run over a mile for juvenile fillies in September, upgraded from Group 3 to Group 2 status. The EPC also sanctioned five new Listed races across Europe, including the introduction of a juvenile contest titled the Pat Smullen Stakes, which will be staged over a mile at Naas in early-July. The EPC ratified a total of 814 black-type races, down from 826 in 2024, comprising 411 Group races (416 in 2024) and 403 Listed races (410). The races which have been downgraded for 2025 are as follows: France Group 2 Gros-Chene (Chantilly) downgraded to Group 3 Listed Prix Ceres (Fontainebleau) loses Listed status Germany Listed Diana Trial (Baden-Baden) loses Listed status Listed Grosser Preis der Hannoverschen Volksbank (Hannover) loses Listed status Ireland Group 3 Amethyst (Leopardstown) downgraded to Listed Italy Group 2 Gran Criterium (Milan) downgraded to Group 3 Group 3 Premio Primi Passi (Milan) downgraded to Listed Listed Seregno (Milan) loses Listed status Listed Mario Incisa della Rocchetta (Milan) loses Listed status Listed Nogara Memorial Mil Borromeo (Milan) loses Listed status Listed Gran Premio d'Italia (Milan) loses Listed status Listed Merano loses Listed status Listed Conte Felice Scheibler (Rome) loses Listed status Listed Rumon Mem. Porcu (Rome) loses Listed status Listed Criterium di Pisa loses Listed status Listed Piazza Dei Miracoli loses Listed status Turkey Group 3 International Istanbul Trophy (Veliefendi) downgraded to Listed Additional Changes France has also taken a strategic decision to merge four black-type races, which effectively removes four races of that type from the country's programme. Most notable is that the G1 Prix Jean Romanet will now be to open to three-year-olds, having previously been restricted to fillies and mares aged four and above, following the removal of the G2 Prix Alec Head at Deauville in August. The Group 2 contest formerly known as the Prix de Pomone will be renamed as the Prix Alec Head. Meanwhile, the G3 La Coupe de Maisons-Laffitte has effectively merged with the G3 Prix du Prince d'Orange, which will now be open to older horses. Two Listed events have also been removed as part of similar action, which is hoped will improve competitiveness and strengthen the overall programme in France. The French programme will also see a change of date for the G1 Prix Vermeille, G2 Prix Niel and G2 Prix Foy, which will all be brought forward by seven days. This will allow an extra week of preparation for Arc contenders, while it was also announced that the G1 Prix du Moulin, staged on the same card at ParisLongchamp, has had its value increased to €800,000 for this year. In Ireland, it has been agreed that the G3 Anglesey Stakes should swap dates with the G2 Railway Stakes (both at the Curragh), which should create better progression through the Pattern for two-year-olds domestically. Another noteworthy change is a later date for the G2 Derby Italiano in Rome, which moves from mid-May to June 2–a national holiday in Italy. 'At Risk' Races for 2026 A total of 22 Pattern and Listed races will be at risk of potential downgrade in 2026, depending on their performance in 2025. They include the G2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury, run over six furlongs for two-year-olds. By nation, the spread of races is as follows: Britain – 2 France – 1 Germany – 6 Ireland – 2 Denmark – 1 Italy – 9 Turkey – 1 Statement from the Chair Jason Morris, chair of the EPC, said, “The European Pattern Committee approved some significant upgrades this year, with four new Group 1 races strengthening our international programme at the highest level. It is particularly important to the EPC that three of these upgrades are relating to the staying horse, an area that European racing has for so long excelled in, and one in which we are committed to safeguarding with a pan-European approach. “The EPC noted that previous efforts have only achieved limited success in retaining our top stayers in Europe in the face of strong export market opportunities. The promotion of the Vicomtesse Vigier in France and, for 2026, the Golden Fleece in Ireland are part of a complementary package of changes to developmental races for staying horses in those two countries, following similar measures already introduced in Britain. Our major European horseracing nations are not merely focused on a top-down approach, but are also implementing various strategic interventions within the wider racing programme to ensure the continued production and retention of sufficient high-class horses to sustain our domestic and international programmes, with a particular focus on the middle distance and staying race areas.” He continued, “However, it is important to note that this year will see another reduction in the number of Pattern and Listed races to be staged throughout Europe, with the total number having been reduced from 852 races in 2022 to 814 in 2025. The EPC continues to enforce the most stringent international quality control measures so that the kitemark of excellence that European black type provides is protected, whilst attempting to identify possible remedies for a declining quality horse population and alleviate the downward pressure on race ratings. “The EPC reviews its Ground Rules regularly and has agreed that a 2lb lower rating parameter will in future apply for three-year-old-only races which mirrors the position adopted by the Asian Pattern Committee and is likely to become the international norm. In agreeing this change, the EPC noted with concern the declining ratings of three-year-old races internationally in recent years and believes that the symptoms behind this trend need to be considered, the underlying causes identified and then solutions sought within the EPC member countries and globally.” York Reaction William Derby, chief executive and clerk of the course at York Racecourse, said, “We are thrilled that all the hard work, support and investment in the Sky Bet City Of York Stakes has been rewarded by its elevation to the highest level of racing, Group 1 status. “I am delighted to confirm that Britain's only all-age Group 1 over seven furlongs will be run for a record prize fund of £600,000–a boost of £100,000 on last year's renewal. The York Race Committee has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to high quality racing, so we are thrilled to have a fourth Group 1 at the Sky Bet Ebor Festival for everyone to enjoy.” Juvenile Contest Added to QIPCO British Champions Day In addition to the upgrade of the British Champions Long Distance Cup, which will offer increased prize-money of £500,000 this year, Ascot Racecourse announced on Tuesday that a new £250,000 race for two-year-olds has been added to the programme on British Champions Day. The six-furlong conditions event, open to all two-year-olds and to be run without penalties, will open the card, taking the total value of the meeting to £4.35 million in 2025. More details about the new race will be released later in the year. It was also revealed that the British Champions Series will cease from this year, with the priority of the business being delivery of the day itself, progressing Club 26–the racing club for 18-26-year-olds–and the expansion of The Hall of Fame. Rod Street, chief executive of British Champions Series Limited (BCSL), the company responsible for QIPCO British Champions Day, said, “It's fantastic to now have five Group 1 races on the day and our thanks go to the BHA for securing the promotion of the Long Distance Cup. “A valuable two-year-old race has long been an aspiration of ours and our sponsor. We are delighted to have created a new race and one we can develop in the years to come. Our intention is to secure Pattern status for the race as soon as possible and we will be working with the BHA to achieve that.” He added, “The Series was helpful in creating focus on the road that led to QIPCO British Champions Day, especially in the early years, but its profile and purpose have been superseded by two newer assets: Club 26 and The Hall of Fame.” The post City Of York Stakes Among Four New Group 1 Races Approved by the EPC appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

With the Melbourne and Sydney Autumn Carnivals in full swing, Flemington and Randwick hosted strong meetings that featured multiple Group and Listed contests last Saturday. From the two featured meetings on the Eastern Seaboard, we have found three runners that are worth putting in your blackbook to follow in their upcoming starts after catching the eye. Randwick Track rating: Soft 5 Rail position: +4m entire circuit Race 6: Group 3 Triscay Stakes (1200m) | Time: 1:08.57 Horse to follow: Commemorative (3rd) James Cummings chose to kick off Commemorative’s autumn campaign in the Group 3 Triscay Stakes (1200m) at Randwick, where the four-year-old mare ran on strongly without threatening the winner over 1200m. The daughter of I Am Invincible jumped slowly from barrier one, and Adam Hyeronimus chose to settle at the rear of the field on the fence behind a hot tempo. Turning for home, Hyeronimus steered his mount towards the inside rail to take a run up the inside of her rivals, and even though she was slightly held up at the 100m mark, Commemorative burst through a gap late and savaged the line. When to bet: Considering Commemorative was fresh and had to chase a fast tempo, it is expected that Cummings will give her a longer break before her next start. The Group 3 Wenona Girl Quality (1200m) on March 8 at Randwick comes up in three weeks, and that should suit this girl perfectly. https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Randwick-2025-Group-3-Triscay-Stakes-15022025-Inhibitions-James-Cummings-Kerrin-McEvoy.mp4 Flemington Track rating: Good 4 (down to Soft 6 after R3, down to Soft 7 after R6) Rail position: True entire circuit Race 6: Listed Elms Handicap (1400m) | Time: 1:25.20 Horse to follow: Aztec Ruler (2nd) William Pike returned to the saddle on the Western Australian galloper Aztec Ruler when he piloted him to a second-place finish in the Elms Handicap (1400m). After Buffalo River ran the race along at a strong tempo, Pike got moving from the back of the field and pushed the Stefan Vahala-trained gelding to the middle of the track in the home straight. Rise At Dawn had already built an unassailable lead by the 200m mark, but Aztec Ruler sprinted sharply to take ground off the winner and finish 1.25 lengths back as the runner-up. When to bet: There are limited options for Aztec Ruler in Melbourne over the next few weeks, but the Listed Bunbury Stakes (1400m) on March 8 looks like a nice race for him to target. If Vahala chooses to take him back to Western Australia, he can end his long preparation with a deserving win. https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Flemington-2025-Listed-Elms-Handicap-15022025-Rise-At-Dawn-Ben-Will-JD-Hayes-Michael-Dee.mp4 Race 9: Listed Desirable Stakes (1400m) | Time: 1:25.68 Horse to follow: Sneaky Sunrise (3rd) One of the more unlucky runners at Flemington was Sneaky Sunrise for the Ben, Will & JD Hayes stable, who ran up behind the leaders to finish third in the Listed Desirable Stakes (1400m). Daniel Stackhouse rode the daughter of The Autumn Sun and chose to stay in behind runners to get cover for as long as possible; however, they ran up behind Cilicap and Husk before being tightened for room in the concluding stages of the race. When to bet: The Group 3 Kewney Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on March 8 looks like the ideal race for Sneaky Sunrise to contest in her next start. If the stable chooses to stay at Listed level, the Morphettville Guineas (1600m) on March 10 could be another target. https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Flemington-2025-Listed-Desirable-Stakes-15022025-Cilacap-Grahame-Begg-Craig-Williams.mp4 Top horse racing sites for blackbook features Horse racing tips View the full article

After leaving the barriers well, Luke Currie allowed his mount to settle in behind the speed before peeling off the leader’s heels on the home turn and let down with a blistering turn of foot in the home straight. The son of Tarzino ran straight past Socks Nation ($6.00) and Time To Chat ($41.00) along with Our Couver ($17.00), but he was quick to shake off the challenge of the horse on his inside and careered away to win by three lengths. 2023: Pericles a class above Jamie Kah and James Cummings combined with Pericles to take out the Group 2 Autumn Classic over 1800m at Sandown, defeating the fast finishing Mr Maestro and Ausbred Rising Sun by a good margin. The Gai Waterhouse-trained Acosta led the field up with the equal second favourite Hennessy Lad sitting outside of it, setting up a solid tempo for the staying event. With Pericles recording his second career win, it sees him return to the winners circle for the first time since his debut win back in September of 2022. The Street Boss gelding was well backed by punters, jumping as a $3.50 favourite with online betting sites, and saluting for his resilient followers in fine style. 2022: Castlereagh Kid not for catching “From an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan,” those were the words that Gai Waterhouse used to describe her Autumn Classic-winning three-year-old Castlereagh Kid. Having claimed a Gosford maiden a month prior, the Snitzel gelding has since gone on to claim a BM64 at Sandown, before going to Caulfield and leading throughout the Group 2 event over 1800m. The win was aided by an absolute peach of a steer from Damien Oliver, with the champion hoop gaining cheap sectionals at a crucial time which left Castlereagh Kid with plenty left in the tank when it mattered most. Having been sent around as a $3.80 favourite with most online betting sites, Ollie made sure the favourite punters had no worries in the running when gaining a record fifth win in the race.

Having made the decision to fork out a $55,000 late entry fee for the Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes, Field Of Play (Deep Field) heads the market for the race after a perfect barrier draw. A field of 16 will line up in Victoria’s most prestigious two-year-old race over 1200m at Caulfield on Saturday with the Trent Busuttin and Natalie-trained Field Of Play drawn in gate five. Field Of Play is by three-time champion Hong Kong sire Deep Field and out of a winning I Am Invincible mare. He was offered by Kaha Nui Farm in Book 1 of Karaka 2024, where he was knocked down to Jamie Richards and Andrew Williams Bloodstock for $500,000. Field Of Play was not nominated for the Blue Diamond when entries closed last year as he had been earmarked for Hong Kong, but after winning at Moonee Valley on debut and then scoring in the Blue Diamond Prelude (1100m) on February 8, connections decided to pay the late entry fee. The gelded son of Deep Field has already amassed just shy of $300,000 from his two wins. Busuttin said Field Of Play had improved, to his eye, since his latest win. “He worked up perfect this morning,” Busuttin said. “Touch wood, it’s been very smooth, very trouble free. “After his gallop this morning, I said the only thing that could go off the rails was a bad barrier draw, and luckily, we’ve got the good draw, and all we have to do now is keep him nice and tidy until Saturday and he’ll run well.” Field Of Play remained favourite at $5 for the Blue Diamond following Tuesday’s draw and heads the market from My Gladiola and Palm Angel, both at $7.

It was an emotional day at Te Akau Racing’s Matamata stables on Sunday when co-trainer Sam Bergerson farewelled Skew Wiff (NZ) (Savabeel) for the final time following her retirement from racing. Bred and raced by Waikato Stud, the daughter of Savabeel recorded Bergerson’s first Group One victory as a trainer when taking out the 2023 edition of the Tarzino Trophy (1400m), a day that will live long in the memory of the Matamata horseman. “She holds a really special place in my heart being my first Group One winner,” he said. “She had a few quirky traits which made her a bit different from everyone else. She wasn’t overly big, but she was just so gutsy and was really special.” Out of stakes performer Starvoia, Skew Wiff recorded four career victories, including on racing’s biggest stage when taking out the Gr.3 Hong Kong Jockey Club Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on Melbourne Cup Day. She was also placed at Group level on six occasions, including the Gr.1 Arrowfield Stud Plate (2040m), Gr.1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m), Gr.1 Levin Classic (1600m), Gr.2 Eight Carat Classic (1600m), and Gr.2 Foxbridge Plate (1200m) on two occasions, and accrued more than $750,000 in prizemoney. While finishing fourth in the Gr.1 Telegraph (1200m) at Trentham last month, she failed to fire in her last two outings, including last Saturday’s Listed Lisa Chittick Champagne Stakes (1400m). “We would have loved to have won that race for Mark (Chittick, Waikato Stud principal) and the team, but she never came up and we thought her last two runs were a bit disappointing,” Bergerson said. “She just didn’t come up this time around. We couldn’t fault her at home heading towards Saturday at Matamata. She had lost that zest for racing. “She has got nothing left to prove, so we are happy to see her go off sound and well. “It was sad putting her on the float on Sunday, but I am excited for her next chapter of life, and I am sure she is going to be a fantastic broodmare if she leaves the qualities and traits she has herself.” View the full article

Australian syndicator OTI Racing have added a $1 million Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand Oaks (2400m) contender to their New Zealand racing arsenal after securing promising filly Twisted Love (NZ) (Vanbrugh) last week. Trained by Waverley horseman Bill Thurlow, the daughter of Vanbrugh scored impressively on debut at her home track late last month, which attracted the attention of several potential buyers. “We had quite a few people interested in her and OTI was able to put something together,” Thurlow said. Twisted Love was initially purchased out of Seaton Park’s 2023 Book 2 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale draft for $17,000 by Thurlow’s daughters Emma and Jamie, and Thurlow was pleased to see them rewarded for their investment. “They are happy with that, and it helps to pay a few bills,” he said. With a $1 million carrot dangling in front of them in the form of the New Zealand Oaks, OTI Racing have elected to keep Twisted Love in Thurlow’s care for the immediate future. “She will be in our care for a little while. We are not too sure how far she goes this campaign, so we will just wait and see,” Thurlow said. “The Oaks is the plan at this stage, but there is still plenty of water to go under the bridge before that happens. “There is good money there now, so it is a great incentive to try and leave them here as long as they can.” OTI Racing’s silks are set to feature prominently in New Zealand over the next month, particularly on Champions Day at Ellerslie on March 8 where they will carried by Golden Century and Skippers Canyon in the $1.25 million Gr.1 Trackside New Zealand Derby (2400m), while the Bjorn Baker-trained Perfumist will cross the Tasman to take her place in the inaugural $3.5 million NZB Kiwi (1500m) for slot holders RACE Inc. While they have parted ways with Twisted Love, Emma and Jamie Thurlow still have a number of other young stock to look forward to, including fellow three-year-old filly Miss Fireball, who will attempt to break through for her maiden win at her second attempt in the Wanganui Insurance Brokers Maiden 3YO 1200 at Wanganui on Friday. “Emma has got a share in Miss Fireball who runs on Friday at Wanganui, and we bought one (yearling) out of the Sydney sale, which they will probably take a share in,” Thurlow said. “Miss Fireball has been working well and I am happy with her. Hopefully she runs a nice race for them.” Meanwhile, Thurlow has been pleased with the progress of Field Of Gold and Whangaehu following their runs in the Gr.1 Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) at Te Rapa earlier this month, with their next targets being at opposite ends of the country. “Both of them have come through their races really well,” he said. “Field Of Gold may venture south for the Dunedin Gold Cup (Listed, 2400m) and Whangaehu will probably go to the Bonecrusher (Gr.1, 2000m), he has just been weighted out of the handicaps. “It is unfortunate, we were really keen to have a go at the Auckland Cup (Gr.2, 3200m) but he has just been weighted out of it now. That’s the pill you have to swallow, and we will probably keep to weight-for-age with him and if it all goes well, we may look at the Sydney Cup (Gr.1, 3200m) with him where he will probably get less weight.” View the full article

Blake Shinn was quick to notice the early track pattern after the winners of races one and two came from inside the first two upon settling, so when the daughter of Spirit Of Boom came around the home turn under a hold, it was always going to be hard to run her down. The race favourites were unlucky, as Serasana ($4.60) was posted three-wide for the entire trip and did well to hold onto third place, while Autumn Angel ($4.40) settled near last and didn’t make much of an impression in the concluding stages. Pure Paradise ($7.50) made ground along the rail, in what looks to be the place to be early on, but So Glamorous ($5.50) was the best of the swoopers out wide and ran home strong into second place. 2023: Shuffle Dancer arrives in time Shuffle Dancer edged out Royal Merchant in the concluding stages of the Group 2 Angus Armanasco Stakes to claim her first black-type victory of her career, after making the jump from a Benchmark 70 Handicap at Moonee Valley at her last start to a Group 2 at Sandown. Royal Merchant led the field for 1350m of the 1400m event, but Shuffle Dancer, the bookies favourite, under the urgings of Ben Melham ran over the top of her late to score an impressive victory by just over a long neck on the line. The I Am Invincible filly didn’t have all the favours in the running as she was posted wide for most of the trip and had to make a sustained run out four-wide on the home turn before powering home to get the win. 2022: Lavish Girl proves too hard to run down The Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained Lavish Girl made the most of a good start to lead all the way in the Group 2 Angus Armanasco Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield. The Xtravagant filly controlled the race early, and then was able to hug the rail and kick away from the rest of the field to score by a 1.25 lengths for jockey Ben Melham. Race favourite, Argentia, had a nice run in behind Lavish Girl, but after bullocking her way clear at the top of the straight, she couldn’t reel in the all-the-way leader.

What Happy Valley Races Where Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong When Wednesday, February 19, 2025 First Race 6:35pm HKT (9:35pm AEDT) Visit Dabble Hong Kong racing returns to Happy Valley Racecourse on Wednesday evening, with a bumper nine-part program awaiting locals. The rail is placed in the B course for the meeting, and with nothing but sunny skies forecast leading into Wednesday night, punters are assured a genuine Good 4 surface throughout proceedings. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 6:35pm HKT. Best Bet at Happy Valley: Aurio Aurio has been the flashing light in his last two performances at Sha Tin, with David Hayes-trained gelding finishing off well without luck. The son of Capitalist was slow away and checked off heels at a crucial stage in his latest outing behind Righteous Arion on February 9, with the four-year-old producing some impressive closing sectionals despite the torrid run in transit. Hollie Doyle will need to utilise stall one to stay in touch with the leaders, and provided Aurio can produce a similar turn-of-speed in his first trip to Happy Valley, this guy will prove hard to hold out at a good price with Neds. Best Bet Race 7 – #8 Aurio (1) 4yo Gelding | T: David Hayes | J: Hollie Doyle (55kg) Next Best at Happy Valley: Perfect General Perfect General got a pass mark returning at this course and distance on January 22, filling out the minor money as he did his best work late behind Happy Trio and Sight Happy. He was dragged back towards the rear of the field from gate nine on that occasion, and with Lyle Hewitson granted the opportunity to sit closer from barrier five this time around, expect him to take full advantage in an attempt to land the one-one. He should strip fitter for that first-up performance, so expect Perfect General to figure in the finish once again. Next Best Race 2 – #2 Perfect General (5) 4yo Gelding | T: Caspar Fownes | J: Lyle Hewitson (61kg) Best Value at Happy Valley: Flying Fortress Flying Fortress should appreciate dropping into Class 4 company for the first time after hitting the line well behind Wings Of War at this track and trip on January 15. The Shamexpress gelding was well-supported with horse racing bookmakers on that occasion, and although he failed to figure, he was doing his best work late to suggest stepping out to the 1650m would be ideal. Hollie Doyle will drag back in search of cover from stall nine, and provided the breaks fall his way, Flying Fortress must be considered a major player in this. Best Value Race 4 – #1 Flying Fortress (9) 4yo Gelding | T: Cody Mo | J: Hollie Doyle (61kg) Wednesday quaddie tips for Happy Valley Happy Valley quadrella selections February 19, 2025 1-3-5-7-8 1-6-8-9-11 2-3-5-9-12 2-4-5-9-11 Horse racing tips View the full article
