Just in time for the big weekend, a brand new half-sister to Derby favorite Journalism (Curlin) has hit the ground for Don Alberto Corporation in Kentucky, according to a post on X by Reed Ringler. By Flightline and out of GSW Mopotism (Uncle Mo), the filly who arrived at about 1:00 a.m. ET came in at 144 pounds. “Mopotism has thrown some terrific foals, and all have had plenty of leg and substance,” Don Alberto's Reed Ringler told the TDN. “She is a great mother, but all the foals have been independent and smart. She jumped right up and said 'here I am!' Our broodmare manager Raul Garcia is the best and he said she was an easy delivery. My guess is the filly runs in the colors of Don Alberto.” Acquired by the organization for $1.05-million at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Fall Mixed Sale, her dam now claims four foals, with the highly-regarded Journalism being the first. Also of note, Mopotism's colt Nitro Tap (Tapit) was a $1.5-million buy for Flying Dutchmen during Fasig-Tipton's Saratoga Sale last year and this dam foaled a filly by Into Mischief, who currently is a yearling. ⁦@theTDN⁩ ⁦@FanDuel_Racing⁩ ⁦@BloodHorse⁩ late breaking news..Journalism has a sister, 144 pound filly by Flightline pic.twitter.com/ojdYRfmYSj — Reed Ringler (@ReedRingler) April 30, 2025 The post Journalism’s Half-Sister By Flightline Arrives In Time For Big Brother’s Derby Run appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Making a welcome return to action having undergone a wind prodecure in February, RP Racing's G3 Molecomb Stakes victor Big Mojo (Ire) (Mohaather {GB}) allayed any concerns regarding his wellbeing with a rousing half-length victory in Wednesday's G3 eventmasters.co.uk Commonwealth Cup Trial at Ascot. The Mick Appleby trainee, starting at odds of 4-1, was under a firm hold from the outset and occupied a position in mid division through halfway in the six-furlong dash. Easing closer inside the final quarter-mile, he joined the front rank of four on the far side passing the furlong pole and was driven out to assert superiority in determined fashion. Big Mojo followed up his Molecomb triumph with a fourth in York's G2 Gimcrack Stakes and a narrow second in Doncaster's G2 Flying Childers Stakes. He concluded his five-race juvenile programme with a fourth, finishing just over one length behind the winner Magnum Force, in November's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar when last seen on the track. Despite registering a first success in his second start at the six-furlong trip, Appleby is inclined to target the five-furlong G1 King Charles III Stakes, previously known as the King's Stand, rather than the Commonwealth Cup, come June. “The King Charles [III Stakes] would be more the likely route we'd go down, I would think, but he is in both races,” the trainer explained. “It's always a concern when you've got a decent two-year-old, whether they've trained on or not, but at home he looked like he had. He's been working really well against some of the older horses and I'm really delighted with him.” Winning rider Tom Marquand added, “He's a very good horse, he showed that last year, and I think it's just changed him a little bit as a type as well. The second I even went to think about going this lad was up and away, which is something he didn't do last year in quite the same manner. I thought that was a good performance, he's done well to go and win and I feel, on a track like Ascot where you're going to get tempo, he could be lethal here. He doesn't lack early speed or the ability to travel over five. On the right track I still think six furlongs is correct for him, but Ascot being Ascot, it is definitely a strong possibility [dropping back to five furlongs].” Big Mojo, whose 2023 Bungle Inthejungle (GB) half-sister did not survive, is the lone representative for Listed National Stakes second Jm Jackson (Ire) (No Nay Never), herself a full-sister to Listed Grand Criterium de Bordeaux victrix Singforthemoment (Ire). The April-foaled bay's second dam Kawn (GB) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}) is a half-sister to G1 Lockinge Stakes and G2 Premio Parioli (Italian 2000 Guineas) runner-up and multiple Group-winning sire Trans Island (GB) (Selkirk), G3 Premio Sergio Cumani victrix Welsh Diva (GB) (Selkirk) and G3 Meld Stakes third Creekside (GB) (Dubai Destination). This is the family of multiple Group-winning sire College Chapel (GB) (Sharpo {GB}) and multiple Group 1-winning three-time New Zealand champion King's Chapel (Aus) (King Of Kings {Ire}). “Big Mojo is BACK!” @MickApplebyUK's charge strikes in the Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes under @TomMarquand at @Ascot… pic.twitter.com/qgXtPD41nN — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) April 30, 2025 Wednesday, Ascot, Britain EVENTMASTERS.CO.UK COMMONWEALTH CUP TRIAL STAKES (PAVILION STAKES)-G3, £80,000, Ascot, 4-30, 3yo, 6fT, 1:12.50, g/f. 1–BIG MOJO (IRE), 129, c, 3, by Mohaather (GB) 1st Dam: Jm Jackson (Ire) (SP-Eng), by No Nay Never 2nd Dam: Kawn (GB), by Cadeaux Genereux (GB) 3rd Dam: Khubza (GB), by Green Desert (175,000gns Ylg '23 TADEY).

Trainer Michael McCarthy has pledged to make a donation to 501(c)(3) aftercare organization Win Place Home if presumed favorite Journalism (Curlin) takes the GI Kentucky Derby this Saturday. “Michael has supported us for years, and notably, he has donated more horses to our program than any other trainer,” said CJ Wilson, founder and lead trainer. “What's more, he ensures every horse he sends to us comes with a financial donation from the owners–a practice that sets a powerful standard for responsibility in the industry.” Wilson said that McCarthy's pledge is the continuation of a deeply-rooted commitment to the horses after the race is over. The Win Place Home team was present when Journalism captured the GI Santa Anita Derby. The organization retrains former racehorses to be functioning members in new disciplines and places them in forever homes where they will prosper. Click here for more information.

Totally unexposed entering Wednesday's Listed Paradise Stakes, Marcstown's Sardinian Warrior (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) made his first start on turf a successful one in Ascot's Queen Anne Stakes Trial. Stalking the strong early pace under Kieran Shoemark, the John and Thady Gosden-trained son of the G1 Phoenix Stakes and G1 Matron Stakes winner La Collina (Ire) (Strategic Prince {GB}) moved to the front inside the final two furlongs and held off Docklands (GB) (Massaat {Ire}) to score by half a length. “He's a really talented horse and this was his first day on the grass,” his jockey said. “He has lots of ability and I feel he'll come on plenty. I think he's a solid miler–he was getting a bit tired there when Docklands came to me.” Great battle!

The Northern Regional Pacers Final has been re-scheduled to Cambridge on Thursday, May 15. Originally the race was going to be held at Alexandra Park on ANZAC day (last Friday) but didn’t go ahead because of insufficient entries. The Final will be programmed similarly to the Auckland edition but with a $27,500 stake and a lower rating limit of R45 to try to attract more intermediate grade pacers. The race will still have a maximum back mark of 30 metres and be run over 2700m. Horses will be eligible to start as long as they have been in one qualifying race, as opposed to the two starts that was originally proposed. The conditions of the series have also been extended to include the two Country Cup qualifying races at the Manawatu HRC’s two-night meeting this week (yesterday and tomorrow). The rescheduled Northern Regional Pacers Final will coincide with the resumption of Thursday night harness at Cambridge. View the full article

By Michael Guerin Canterbury trainer-driver Gavin Smith says it will be a painful privilege to honour his close friend Greg Sugars in Friday night’s Reharvest Rowe Cup at Alexandra Park. Like many in the industry, Smith was left stunned by the shock news on Saturday that 40-year-old Sugars had passed away in his sleep. Smith was close to Sugars, having spent plenty of time together over the years, even more so in the last year as Sugars campaigned Just Believe and Better Eclipse in New Zealand. Sugars and his wife Jess Tubbs also trained One Over All during his Victorian career after Smith sent him across to them as a three-year-old. “They helped make this horse,” says Smith. “It has been a very tough week for me and I have really struggled with it, especially when I am not busy. “So I wanted to do something to honour Greg.” Smith asked Jess Tubbs if he could wear their racing colours when he partners One Over All in the Rowe Cup at Alexandra Park this Friday. “Jess said yes and I am honoured to do it but now it is getting closer I realise it will be really emotional for me,” says Smith. “This is the right race to do it in. This was the race last year they won with Just Believe and they then won the Auckland Cup as the very next race as they were both held on the same night last year. “It was one of the biggest nights of their career and I want to remember Greg by wearing the colours and hope we can do him justice.” This week was always going to be an emotional one at harness meetings right around Australasia and remembering Sugars will be an integral part of Friday night’s meeting, as it should be after the enormous involvement Sugars had with the New Zealand industry last year. Earlier in the night Race 4 is named the “Remembering Greg Sugars – Fond Memories from 2024 – RIP” Mobile Pace. The emotionally-charged meeting with its five black type races is the last major fixture of a huge autumn of racing in the north.

Milestones for Michael and Wilson House at Manawatu, the first Warriors – harness racing joint promotion, and a new driver for Keayang Zahara all feature in this week’s News Briefs. Dual milestones for Michael and Wilson House The country’s leading junior driver Wilson House celebrated his 21st in a most unusual way yesterday – he drove three winners at Manawatu. He started his run by winning the first with Matai Harry, then won race 5 with Jaccka Baylis before bookending the programme with hot favourite Nickel And Dime in the last. Now in his fifth year of driving, the in-form House has 51 wins in 2025, putting him second overall behind Blair Orange on 74. His father, Michael House trained all three of those winners last night along with Oakley Shard and Shezabettorgirl, both driven by Harrison Orange. House has a commanding lead in the trainers’ premiership with 67 wins, 30 ahead of closest challenger Steve and Amanda Telfer. With his second winner on the night (Shezabettorgirl) House clocked up his 900th career success. He now has 903. Last night was the first under the new lights at Manawatu. Costing around $300,000 they were installed just last week. Win win for Warriors The first ever joint promotion involving the One New Zealand Warriors, Harness Racing New Zealand and Addington Raceway has been deemed a big success. The ANZAC Racing and League day was held last Friday. There was a strong Warriors theme both on and off the track for the 10 race card that included the Up the Wahs ANZAC Classic Mobile Pace. Many Warriors fans turned up at the raceway and enjoyed the racing before heading off next door to see the Warrior beat the Newcastle Knights (Win win). It’s also been confirmed the Warriors will continue playing ANZAC weekend games in Christchurch for the next three years at least though they will be played at the new roofed stadium downtown. Other joint ventures between the Warriors organization and HRNZ are in the pipeline. Turnover was strong for the both the ANZAC day meetings at Addington and Auckland. They were both ahead of last year with total turnover over $2.1m. Auckland’s premier meeting featured five Group 1s including Marketplace’s dominant win in the Woodlands Stud Northern Derby. Action continues at Alexandra Park this Friday with another three Group 1s, including the Rowe Cup. Vale Ray Dawe Harness Racing New Zealand would like to extend its condolences to the Dawe family. Ray Dawe will be farewelled this Thursday at the Lamb and Hayward chapel at Rangiora at 10.30am. Ray Dawe was the “Ra” in Rakero Racing along with his sons Kevin (“Ke”) and Ronnie (“Ro”) and raced the likes of Group 1 winner Rakero Rocket, Light Me Up and Ebury Street. Ray Dawe was 85. New driver for Keayang Zahara Unbeaten trotting mare Keayang Zahara faces her biggest challenge yet when she returns to racing at Melton on Saturday night. That’s how co-trainer Paddy Lee looks at the 1720m trotting free-for-all, where Keayang Zahara will take on genuine and high-quality open-class rivals for the first time. Her major rivals include multiple Group 1 winning mare Im Ready Jet (gate two) and Great Southern Star winner Watts Up Partytime (four). “She’s as ready to go as we can have her without a race,” says Lee The other difference on Saturday night will be the driver. Jason Lee has won all 14 races on Keayang Zahara so far, but willingly hands the reins to cousin, Glen Craven, this week. “It’s how we do things, we share them around,” Paddy Lee said. “Jase wanted Glen to have a few race drives on her. Glen will drive her if she goes to Sydney next week as we plan to, as well. “I think the plan is for Jase to get back on when she goes to Brisbane for the Inter Dominion.” This race is to sharpen-up Keayang Zahara for her quest to win an eighth Group 1 race in Saturday week’s $100,000 Macarthur Mile at Menangle. Keayang Zahara hasn’t raced since completing a clean sweep of three major races at Addington when she won the Group 1 NZ Trotting Derby on December 6, last year. Cullens grab Group 1 double What a Group 1-winning fortnight it’s been the husband and wife training combo of Hayden and Amanda Cullen. Firstly Amanda claimed her first Group 1 with We Walk By Faith in the Dawson Harford Taylor Mile on April 11 and then last Friday the Cullens got a second with Arafura in the Pascoes The Jewellers Northern oaks. The Cullens now have 12 wins in 2025 with a very good UDR (strike-rate) of 0.4099. Hayden has 35 Group 1 wins, including 19 with Mark Purdon and 11 on his own. Mowbray’s run of success with outsiders Delightful Peg’s win continues a great run of longshot winners for trainer Brad Mowbray in 2025. The Bettor’s Delight filly got the dream up the passing lane to upset the likes of hot shots Captains Mistress and Utah Jazz in he Nevele R Stud/Macca Lodge Southern Oaks Final on Diamonds Day at Invercargill on Sunday. Delightful Peg paid $37.50 for the win. Mowbray’s other winners at big money this year have included Impressive Shard ($46), She’s Tough ($32.80) and Okiwi Bay ($28.10). D Mac on the move After a strong second on debut D Mac has been sold to Western Australian interests. Named after All Black and Chiefs star Damian McKenzie, the Downbytheseaside colt is off to Perth. Trained, driven and co-bred by Brad Morris, D Mac debuted in this month’s Murray Gray Memorial Pace at Winton and sat parked for the whole race only to be run down by Seaside Croft. 1000 for Pizzuto Kevin Pizzuto of Tiger Tara fame has brought up a big milestone. The veteran Australian trainer had his 1000th success when Tiger Eupheme won at Penrith in the Last Post Pace for driver Joshua Gallagher last Thursday. By Tiger Tara, it was the filly’s second win in 12 starts. Tiger Tara was by far Pizzuto’s stand out horse with 37 wins and nearly $2.5m in earnings. In 2018 he won the Inter Dominion and the Hunter and Victoria Cup and was a huge second to Thefixer in the New Zealand Cup.

Don McKenzie is being remembered as “an absolute gentleman” who bred plenty of winners. Since the 1970s McKenzie bred and/or raced more than 50 horses either on his own account or in partnership. Among his best known horses were $1m earner The Vulcan, Genius and more recently Invictus. He died at his North Canterbury home over the weekend after a battle with cancer. “He was just the most marvellous person,” says Jenny Butt, who bred 32 horses with McKenzie over the past 40 or so years. “We said our goodbyes about a month ago and it was heartbreaking.” “He was just a really good person who would do anything for anyone.” Another to know him well was northern trainer Bernie Hackett. “We went back about 25 years,” says Hackett, “He was an absolute gentleman. He never complained about anything and was the first to ring to if someone else’s horse that I trained won a race.” They were in regular contact. “We spoke to each other every week.” McKenzie was known as a hard worker. “He was a freezing worker and a timber worker,” says Butt, “him and his children once cleared 100 acres of gorse around Omoto near Greymouth. He planted a lot of pine trees and did quite well out of that.” Jenny Butt got to know McKenzie initially through her late husband Murray. “It started with Kitty’s Pride and then with Abundant – she was enormous for us.” Kitty’s Pride won three races for Murray Butt in the mid 1980s while Abundant did not win a race but turned into a broodmare gem. Among Abundant’s progeny that McKenzie and Butt bred was Genius (24 wins) while Epona (Sundon – Abundant) produced multiple Group 1 winner and trotting millionaire Vulcan. Another of Epona’s best performers was Invictus with 14 wins. “Abundant’s mares just produced winner after winner,” says Butt. Early on many of the McKenzie – Butt horses were trained and driven by Jenny’s sons Tim and Anthony. They were a potent combination. The Hackett- Michelle Wallis stable entered the frame a bit later on. “The first two we trained for them were Genius and Princess Mackendon,” says Hackett. “We had 17 wins with Genius.” That was between 2007 and 2009 with Wallis as the official trainer while Princess Mackendon won nine races for Wallis-Hackett between 2015-18. Invictus was trained by the duo throughout his racing career in New Zealand with 14 wins before being exported in Australia two years ago. Other top performers that McKenzie was involved in were Sassy Pants and Thanesan (both 9 wins). Don McKenzie was 77. “It’s a real shame,” says Hackett, “he was one of the best.” View the full article

Charlie Appleby has got off to a flyer with his two-year-olds and Wednesday's Royal Ascot Two-Year-Old Trial EBF Conditions Stakes saw one who could be for the future as well as now. A half-brother to the G1 Commonwealth Cup and G2 Norfolk Stakes winner Perfect Power (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}) who cost 1million gns at Tattersalls October Book 1, Godolphin's Wise Approach (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) had a lot to live up to on this debut but as the 16-5 joint-favourite was expected to put up a bold show. Tracking the leaders throughout the early stages with William Buick able to draft easily, he was delivered to master the previous winner Super Soldier (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) close home and score by half a length. “That was perfect–he's a lovely horse with a good attitude who you would expect to improve from today and that rode like a good two-year-old race,” Buick said.

Plans are in place to start drainage work on the false straight at ParisLongchamp from Sunday, July 13, France Galop announced on Wednesday. The work will start 1,000 metres from the winning post, at the beginning of the bend leading into the false straight, and stop 600 metres before the winning post. Due to its proximity to a lake and the natural gradient of this track, this section of the course is said to have a greater tendency to retain water than the rest of the circuit when the ground is soft. The project will begin the day after the G1 Grand Prix de Paris and is expected to take 10 days to complete. The track will open for racing again from Sunday, August 31.

Godolphin Australia announced on Wednesday that it will move to a public training model when James Cummings' current contract comes to an end on Thursday, July 31. In a joint statement with Cummings, Godolphin Australia managing director Andy Makiv said the change would provide greater flexibility for the business, while maintaining Godolphin's strong presence in the Australian Thoroughbred industry. “The private training model that we first adopted after the purchase of Woodlands in 2007 with successive trainers, Peter Snowden, John O'Shea and now James Cummings for the past eight years, has proven to be very successful,” said Makiv. “Moving away from a private training model gives us greater business agility. We will continue to have the same number of horses in training–it's fundamental to what we do. As a stallion business, Group 1 winners like Anamoe, Bivouac, Broadsiding and Cylinder have all come through our commitment to racing. “Our numbers have and will remain stable, just as they have been for the past five years. We remain absolutely committed to breeding and racing in our famous Godolphin blue silks.” He added, “James is a fantastic trainer and has been incredibly successful. He brought up his 50th Group 1 win late last year and we are extremely grateful for his leadership of our wonderful racing team who have supported him. “We are looking forward to working with James under our new training model.” Makiv also confirmed that high-class two-year-old Tempted (Aus) (Street Boss), G1 Cox Plate contender Tom Kitten (Aus) (Harry Angel {Ire}) and G1 Kennedy Oaks winner Zardozi (Aus) (Kingman {GB}) were among the horses who would remain in Cummings' care, with the trainer looking forward to the next phase of his career. “The time is right for me to take the next step in my career and launch my own venture as a public trainer,” said Cummings. “I've been fortunate to work with exceptional horses and a dedicated team during my time at Godolphin, and together we've celebrated many memorable successes. “This experience has been incredibly rewarding and has taught me invaluable lessons, both professionally and personally. I'm deeply grateful to Godolphin for their ongoing support and I look forward with great anticipation to this exciting new chapter.” The post Godolphin Announce Move to Public Training Model in Australia appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Duke Of Bedford on his way to winning Tuesday’s Brierly Steeplechase (3450m) at Warrnambool. Photo: Bruno Cannatelli Graham and Helen-Gaye Bax didn’t set out to breed a Brierly Steeplechase (3450m) winner, but that’s what they have done, with Blandford Lodge homebred Duke Of Bedford taking out the Warrnambool feature on Tuesday. “I had two in that race. I also bred Blandford Lad, who ran fifth,” Blandford Lodge principal Graham Bax said. “He (Duke Of Bedford) is a neat little jumper and he is going along well. He is a young steeplechase horse, so he has got a bright future in front of him. “If he runs tomorrow (in the Grand Annual Steeplechase, 5500m) he should be a big show.” While pleased to see his homebred victorious on Tuesday, Bax is still perplexed how a steeplechaser has been produced from the family. “The mare (dam) is by Fastnet Rock, so how we got a steeplechaser out of that I don’t know, but you never know when breeding horses where it’s all going to end up,” he said. By Tavistock, Duke Of Bedford is out of winning Fastnet Rock mare Miralago, a half-sister to the dam of Group One winner Danzdanzdance. Bax has been breeding from the family for several decades and he has enjoyed plenty of success during that time. “I have had that family for years and it goes way back to an English mare called Polly Soleil that I bought more than 30 years ago,” he said. “I have bred a lot of good mares out of that family, including (multiple Group One winner) Lucia Valentina, (Group Two winner) Silky Red Boxer, Danzdanzdance, (stakes winner) Le Gai Soleil, there’s a lot of good horses from that family. “It is a super family that has been performing for Blandford Lodge for a long time. It will keep going as well, we have another horse out of the family running today (Wednesday) at Canterbury called Ahuriri, who has won the St Leger (Listed, 2800m). The family just keeps giving.” Bax offered Duke Of Bedford at Inglis’ 2020 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale where he was purchased by STC Syndications for A$45,000. He went on to win one race for Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young before he transferred to Andrew Bobbin’s Stawell barn, for whom he has added another six victories to his tally, culminating in his Brierly Steeplechase triumph. “I love setting goals with races and working backwards and hitting the target, and this was one today,” Bobbin said post-race. Bobbin said he will wait until Thursday morning before deciding whether his six-year-old gelding backs up in the Grand Annual Steeplechase. “We’ll just see how that field holds up and at about 7:28am Thursday morning, I’ll probably still be scratching my head, I might even toss a coin,” he said.

Lucy In The Sky has travelled south to contest Saturday’s Listed Champagne Stakes (1200m). Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Gifted filly Lucy In The Sky will have a gilt-edged opportunity at Riccarton on Saturday to end her two-year-old campaign on a high note. The Tony Pike-trained juvenile has impressed in both of her appearances and will enjoy a drop in grade in the Listed Champagne Stakes (1200m) with Jasmine Fawcett booked to guide the youngster. “She flew down on Sunday and travelled well and it would be nice to get a stakes win under her belt before she goes out and comes back for the spring,” Pike said. The Cambridge Stud-bred and raced daughter of the farm’s shuttle stallion Hello Youmzain was a slick debut winner at Ellerslie before returning there to finish a creditable sixth in the Group 1 Sistema Stakes (1200m). “She was impressive first-up and very good in the Sistema, she got taken on and was savaged from the 600 or 700m mark by the outsider of the field and she fought on well considering,” Pike said. A half-sister to Group 2 Rich Hill Mile (1600m) winner Ruud Not Too, Lucy In The Sky was subsequently untouched to win a 750m trial at Ruakaka last week. “If she handles the track, we would expect her to go very close,” Pike said. Closer to home, the stable will have a strong hand in the opening event at Te Rapa with TAB Racing Club (2100m) with two top chances. “High Country is stepping up in trip and he was really good the other day fresh-up over a mile and Poetic Justice broke through for a pretty soft win in the same grade,” Pike said. “He will have gained a fair bit of confidence, he’s always showed the talent and has taken a while to mature physically. “He’s just starting to put it all together now so I would expect both of them to run well.” In-form four-year-old Cannon Hill will meanwhile bid to go one better in the Prezzy Card Mile (1600m) following his resuming effort for second over 1400m. “I quite like Cannon Hill, I thought his fresh run was really good and stepping up to a mile will really suit him,” Pike said. There is also a sense of timing about Ziggy Stardust, who will step out in the SkyCity Hamilton Maiden (1200m). She has placed in six of her eight starts, including a runner-up finish in last season’s Champagne Stakes and was again second in her most recent outing at Matamata. Meanwhile, Pike has all but ruled out any involvement in the Brisbane winter carnival. “We were considering Storm Front, but he had a cardiac arrythmia the other day at Ellerslie so that’s sent him to the paddock,” he said. “I don’t think we will be worrying about Queensland this year, we had a couple of others possibly in mind for lower-level races, but outside of the big races the prize money is not a lot better than here. “We’ll batten down the hatches and try and get everything ready for the spring and summer for next season.

The Cunning Fox (NZ) (Reliable Man) and Tom Ryan have prevailed in a stirring Galleywood Hurdle at Warrnambool on Wednesday, securing the talented hurdler’s fifth-consecutive jumps win and first feature. In what would also prove to be Patrick and Michelle Payne’s first May Racing Carnival feature win together, The Cunning Fox ($2.90) was given a patient ride by Ryan, as Stern Idol ($3.20) set his usual strong gallop under replacement rider Fergus Gregory. Ryan moved the striking grey into the race down the side and it was race on over the last, with Stern Idol, Affluential (NZ) (Zed) ($2.20) and roughie Right Now (NZ) (Wrote) ($19) all also real chances. But The Cunning Fox, despite racing a touch waywardly, was too tough late, maintaining his unbeaten jumps status with a huge closing effort. “It was a fantastic version of the Galleywood,” said stable representative Neil Greaves. “We have a lot of confidence in The Cunning Fox, but we weren’t that sure he was going to be good enough to beat Affluential and Stern Idol and the rest of the field was pretty solid as well. “So it’s a great thrill for everybody, Joe O’Neill’s here with his large group of owners out there, some have come from as far away as Sydney.” After joining her sibling in a training partnership last September, Michelle Payne scored her first ‘Bool jumps winner with Sing For Peace on Tuesday and has wasted no time picking up one of the main events. For Patrick Payne, it was his first Galleywood triumph and completed his collection of Warrnambool jumps features, having won the Brierly in 2017 with Zed Em (NZ) (Zed) and the Grand Annual an incredible four times, with Awakening Dream (2012), Chaparro (2014), No Song No Supper (2016) and Zed Em (2019). “I’m sure for Patrick and Michelle, this will be a real feather in their cap,” Greaves said. “Those who have been coming every year know Patrick’s been a master trainer full stop, but a master trainer of jumps horses, this is just another example of that.” View the full article

Cody Cole collected his second quinella in a matter of days in the Central Districts on Wednesday, with Rareza (NZ) (Exosphere) and debutant Andantino saluting at the Woodville meeting. The Matamata horseman took a pair of runners to Wanganui last Sunday in The Nomad (NZ) (Mongolian Khan) and St Giles (NZ) (Swiss Ace), both of whom took out their respective races. His two representatives at the midweek meeting repeated the dose, headed by resuming talent Rareza. The daughter of Exosphere had just seven starts under her belt prior to the Speldhurst Mates (1200m), including a last-start success back in November where she struck a similar surface to the conditions on Wednesday. Starting a $3 favourite, Rareza jumped alongside one of her main rivals in Sinbin (NZ) (Derryn), while Gohugo (NZ) (Per Incanto) took up the pacemaking role. The mare hit clear air early in the straight and had to find plenty in the testing conditions, but she did just that, holding off Sinbin to win by a nose. “She was super. For a midweek (rating) 75 it was a strong enough field,” Cole said. “She had a little setback a couple of weeks ago and missed a bit work, so she was in need of the run and we thought we would kick her off soft. She was in that rating bracket where she can afford to get a few points and still have another crack at 75, then maybe raise our sights to something else. “We’ll just get her home, see how she comes through it and look through the programme for where we’re likely to head with her. She’s progressive, she’s still doing it on ability and hitting the front and waiting for them a little bit too. “Maybe the addition of some gear will help her at some stage, to get a bit more out of her.” Rareza was guided by in-form apprentice Triston Moodley, who earlier in the day rode her stablemate Andantino to victory in the Property Brokers Pahiatua/Woodville (1100m). Having appeared at the trials back in January, Andantino came into the race as favourite ahead of Casino (NZ) (Savabeel), and it would be the two first starts that would fight out the finish in a competitive three-year-old maiden. Casino made a good account of herself, but she was unable to pick up the gelding, who kicked clear to score by half a length. Cole had been cautiously confident coming into the race and was rapt with the son of Castelvecchio. “It’s been a fair while since he trialled so you’re always a bit reserved there, but he’s shown us plenty of ability and worked well leading into it,” he said. “He’s got upside, he’s got potential there. “He’s one of those horses with good gate speed and can get up on speed, he’d drawn a bit sticky but that didn’t really worry us too much. It was fortunate that the rain didn’t come any earlier because I don’t know whether he would’ve copped it too much wetter than it was. “We’ll just hopefully find a track that is just in that soft range or thereabouts to get another run into him, then he’ll head to the paddock and look towards next year.” Bred by GSA Bloodstock, Andantino was a $50,000 purchase by Cole at Karaka when presented from the draft of Ralph Thoroughbreds. Back in the north, it was a rewarding sight for Cole to see his Group Three-performing mare Oneira (NZ) (Contributer) back at the trials on Tuesday. As a three-year-old, Oneira placed in a Gr.3 Gold Trail Stakes (1200m), but due to a variety of reasons, has only had four starts since that race in October 2023. “She had one run in the spring where she got back and it just wasn’t her pattern,” Cole said. “She’s not comfortable getting in amongst them in her races and it was a bit of a nothing race. “She then had an injury, so she’s been out over the summer, and I’ve just brought her back up quietly. She’s developed into a nice, rounded mare, she was always a little bit light and lean. “Her trial was good, she was still pretty burly in condition yesterday so that will tighten her up a lot. “She’s stakes placed and we haven’t had many runs with her after that, so it’ll be nice to get a nice prep into her in the early winter then come back in the spring. She likes those off tracks, so we’ll find a race for her over the next few weeks to kick off.” In the meantime, Cole will have a quartet of runners heading to Te Rapa on Saturday, including another promising debutant in Atkins (NZ) (Savabeel) contesting the SkyCity Hamilton 1200. The Savabeel four-year-old has been a work in progress for Cole but impressed with a flashing trial at Ellerslie in early April. “She’s going to improve a lot from the experience, she’s a nice mare that has taken a lot of time and management to get her there in one piece,” he said. “We’ve really seen the best of her in her last two trials, they’ve both been good especially the last one where she sat back and picked them up pretty effortlessly under a soft ride. “Craig (Grylls) quite likes her and sticks with her on Saturday, so she’s definitely one to look forward too.” Speedy filly Power Of Three will be back up to her winning distance in the MetalCo 1200, after being run down late by Albarossa at Trentham last time out. “In hindsight, it probably wasn’t the track to take her to, she’s got quite a short sprint and she hit the front quite quickly there,” Cole said. “It’s a long way to get run down and she was fresh-up and probably needed the run late. “She will be suited to a turning track where she’s not exposed so early.” View the full article

There’s one word to describe Riviera Rebel’s (NZ) (Pure Champion) last assignment of the season – heavy. The in-form gelding has been lumbered with top weight, 60kg, in Saturday’s Avon City Ford Easter Cup (1600m) at Riccarton, where his biggest rival will be the inclement weather. While the son of Pure Champion is adept at racing in heavy conditions, recording three of his six wins on the surface, including the Gr.3 Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m) at Riccarton last start, co-trainer Graham Eade is wary of the inclement weather in Christchurch leading into the weekend, with the track already rated a Heavy10 on Wednesday morning. “It is going to be deep, and they have piled the weight onto him, so it’s going to be another learning curve,” said Eade, who trains in partnership with his granddaughter Brooke Kincaid. “He doesn’t mind a heavy track. He’s not very big, but he’s quite strong and he has got that will to win. Having topweight is the biggest concern though. “It’s raining quite heavily here. It started before we went to the track at 6:30am (Wednesday morning) and it hasn’t stopped, and it’s supposed to carry on tonight and tomorrow. “It is going to be a test because the weight he has got and the track. He is going to go out after this. If it was 2000m I would probably pull him out, but it’s a mile.” While he holds concerns about the wet-weather, Eade has been pleased with the way Riviera Rebel has come through his victory in the Canterbury Gold Cup last Saturday, and he has received positive reports from his trackwork rider in the interim. “He has come through his last start really well,” Eade said. “His rider, Denby-Rose Tait, reckons the race hasn’t hurt him and he feels as good as ever.” Riviera Rebel will jump from barrier three, with Kylie Williams in the saddle. Eade will also line-up consistent mare Intercept (NZ) (War Decree) in the Speight’s Summit Ultra On Tap Rating 65 (1200m). The War Decree four-year-old has placed in three of her last four starts, including a runner-up effort over 1400m at Riccarton last Saturday, and Eade is hoping she can go one better this weekend. “She went well,” Eade said. “She has been here (Riccarton) as well and the trip away from Riverton will do her the world of good. She is seeing a lot of horses around her, which you don’t see down there.” View the full article

A son of Hollie Wynyard’s first Group One winner will have his turn in the spotlight at Te Rapa on Saturday, representing the Cambridge horsewoman in the Listed Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre Stakes (1400m). That runner will be Wyndstorm (NZ) (Wyndspelle), a two-year-old gelding out of the second crop of yearlings by Wyndspelle. In the care of Wynyard, and former training partner Johno Benner, Wyndspelle placed at the highest level on a number of occasions, capped off by his crowning victory in the Gr.1 Captain Cook Stakes (1600m). Five years on, Wynyard was entrusted with Wyndstorm, who made an immediate impression when winning at the Foxton trials, an effort he backed up on debut when finishing a tidy third behind Pacific Breeze. The long-striding youngster stepped out at Ellerslie for the first time earlier this month, and despite racing three-wide throughout, he was too good for his rivals and earned a black-type assignment in the process. “He’s definitely always shown a bit of ability, he’s a lovely big horse, pretty laid back and he doesn’t care about anything really,” Wynyard said. “When he won, that didn’t come too much as a surprise, but the way he did it sitting three-wide showed he has quite a bit there. “This guy is probably twice the size of his father, Wyndspelle was pretty short and nuggety. But they are very similar in temperament, Wyndspelle was just an absolute dude. He was the ultimate professional, knew his job and gave it 100 percent every day.” Wyndstorm’s versatility will likely come into play in the juvenile feature, drawing the extreme outside barrier. “He hasn’t drawn a very good gate in 14, so we’ll have to work out what we do from there,” Wynyard said. “He’s proven he can go back, sit wide and do whatever we want really, and still be there at the end so hopefully we can get it right. “He’s a big horse so we gave him a bit of time between runs, the 1400 is going to suit him and he’ll run that out naturally so we don’t need to do a lot with him. He’s only had one gallop this week.” Wynyard’s two-pronged attack in the race will be completed by Toretto (NZ) (Ardrossan), a winning two-year-old in his own right earlier in the season. After winning a trial at Foxton this time in, the son of Ardrossan didn’t favour the conditions at Ellerslie when contesting the Listed Star Way Stakes (1200m). “I think the track was a little bit testing and holding and he just didn’t cop it, he raced on a similar track at Wanganui in his first-up run and had the same sort of result,” she said. “I’m not going to read too much into that, he can handle a soft track but it just needs to be loose.” While hopeful for a strong performance on Saturday, Wynyard’s target for Toretto is the Listed Staphanos By Deep Impact Champagne Stakes (1600m), run at Ellerslie on May 17. “We’ve taken the blinkers off for Saturday, we’ll ride him a bit quieter and have him attacking the line,” she said. “He’s looking like a mile will suit, so we’re really setting him for the Champagne. “We’re just playing around with a few things, but he’s working great and he’s a talented little horse. Hopefully he can put his best foot forward on Saturday.” Back in Cambridge, Wynyard’s sharp filly Archaic Smile has pulled up well from her second consecutive Group placing in the Gr.3 Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) last weekend. She finished just three-quarters of a length from Ardalio (NZ) (Ardrossan), after finishing a half-length adrift of Vegas Queen (NZ) (Proisir) when runner-up in the Gr.2 Wellington Guineas (1400m). Rapt with her performance, Wynyard is considering the Gr.3 Rotorua ITM Stakes (1400m) to complete the filly’s season on May 10. “I’m very proud of her, she’s not the biggest filly and definitely hasn’t got the straightest legs, but she’s got a bit of ability there and a heart as big as herself,” Wynyard said. “She just gives everything each time she goes out. “We are quietly looking at the fillies and mares 1400 at Rotorua, that would definitely be her last race this prep. But any signs before then that she’s had enough, she’ll head straight to the paddock. “At the moment we’re happy enough with her and we’ll wait and see what the track ends up like.” Looking to next season with the Group One-performing daughter of Saxon Warrior, Wynyard is hoping to test her abilities over a mile. “I’m pretty keen to see how she would go over a mile, just the way she relaxes in her races now and how she runs out the 1400m,” she said. “If she can get a mile, that opens up a lot of options for her as a mare. “I think we’ll definitely try her over that distance, but that’ll be a next year job.” View the full article

Statuario ridden by John Allen wins the Galilee Series Final at Caulfield. (Photo by Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) The Group 1 South Australian Derby (2500m) headlines the action at Morphettville on Saturday afternoon, with a capacity field of 16 and three emergencies set to line up in the $1 million three-year-old feature. The Emma-Lee & David Browne-trained Statuario has opened as the firm +300 favourite with horse racing bookmakers after drawing barrier three on Tuesday morning. The support comes as no surprise after a breathtaking 2.3-length victory at Caulfield on April 5, with the son of D’argento blitzing his rivals over the 2400m in Listed company. Lavalier is on the second line of betting at +450 with Neds and is on the one-week backup after finishing second in the Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes (2000m) last Saturday. The 2500m appears ideal for the Godolphin gelding; however, he may be forced to do it tough, drawn out in barrier 15, as Jamie Melham gets legged aboard once again. The Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained American Wolf is on deck for a hat-trick of wins this preparation and is the only other galloper in single figures at +600 with BlondeBet. The Tavaci gelding should have no issues staying the journey on Saturday, with his latest win on Anzac Day coming over the 2800m in the Listed VRC St. Leger at Flemington. Double-figure odds are available for every other runner engaged, with the likes of Saint Emilion and Politely Dun likely to have plenty of admirers at +900 apiece with Dabble. The 2025 South Australian Derby is scheduled to get underway at 4:35pm local time. Horse racing news View the full article

What Warrnambool Cup Day 2025 Where Warrnambool Racing Club – 2/64 Grafton Rd, Warrnambool VIC 3280 When Thursday, May 1, 2025 First Race 11:20am AEST Visit Dabble The Listed Warrnambool Cup and Grand Annual Steeplechase will headline the final day of the Warrnambool May Carnival, with 10 races set down for decision this Thursday. The track will remain in the Soft range on the flat, while the steeple track is rated as Heavy. The rail will stay in its true position, with the opening race set to kick off at 11:15am AEST. Warrnambool Cup Tip: Mystery Island Shane Jackson will be seeking back-to-back Warrnambool Cups with Mystery Island, who seems to be going just as well, if not better, than he was last year. The son of Victoire Pisa flew home from the back of the field in the Terang Cup over 2150m last start, and the extra distance here will be a positive. If Harry Coffey can find a back to follow from barrier 17, Mystery Island can defend his title with a strong finish. Warrnambool Cup Race 9 – #11 Mystery Island (17) 8yo Gelding | T: Shane Jackson | J: Harry Coffey (54kg) Grand Annual Steeplechase tip: Instigator After running a slashing third place in the Brierly Steeplechase, Instigator appears to be primed and ready for a big crack at the 2025 Grand Annual. The Aaron Purcell-trained gelding settled at the rear of the field and jumped nicely throughout the 3450m on Tuesday, but given how strongly he finished, the trip looked to be too short for the seasoned jumper. If Instigator can navigate each of the jumps and sprint sharply late, he can win the co-feature at a good each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. Grand Annual Steeplechase Race 7 – #4 Instigator (9) 11yo Gelding | T: Aaron Purcell | J: Braidon Small (54kg) Best Bet at Warrnambool: Cleo Cat Following the first defeat of her six-start career at the end of last preparation, Cleo Cat will return from a 16-week spell with the benefit of a five-length trial victory over 1000m at Terang. The daughter of American Pharoah showed a lot of ability when winning her first five races before going down in the Listed Black Pearl Stakes at Geelong in January. Jordan Childs will push forward and take up the lead from barrier four, and if Cleo Cat gives a strong kick, her rivals will struggle to run her down. Best Bet Race 3 – #2 Cleo Cat (4) 4yo Mare | T: Tom Dabernig | J: Jordan Childs (60kg) Warrnambool Cup Day quaddie tips – 1/5/25 Warrnambool quadrella selections Thursday, May 1, 2025 1-2-4-5 1-2-6-9 1-4-5-6-11 3-10-14 Horse racing tips View the full article

What Town Plate Day 2025 Where Murrumbidgee Turf Club – Travers St, Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 When Thursday, May 1, 2025 First Race 12:25pm AEST Visit Dabble The $200,000 Wagga Town Plate (1200m) headlines the action at the Murrumbidgee Turf Club this Thursday. With no rain forecast on race-day, punters can expect a Good 4 surface. The rail is in the true position for the entire circuit, with the opening event at Wagga scheduled to get underway at 12:25pm local time. Wagga Town Plate Tip: Felix Majestic Felix Majestic was sensational on return in the Group 3 McCarten Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on March 15. The son of Smart Missile bombed the start and was never in contention, but he rattled off some impressive closing sectionals. Molly Bourke will need to get him leaving the gates evenly, and provided he can manage to slot in somewhere mid-field with cover, Felix Majestic should give a bold sight at each-way odds with horse racing bookmakers in the 2025 Wagga Town Plate. Wagga Town Plate Race 7 – #2 Felix Majestic (6) 5yo Gelding | T: Gary Nickson | J: Molly Bourke (60.5kg) Best Bet at Wagga: Stardom The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Stardom comes through a hot maiden at Kembla Grange on April 15, where the daughter of Zoustar gave a good account of herself to finish in the minor money. She was unable to dictate terms on debut but should get the opportunity to slide across and lead this time around from barrier 13. Jett Stanley will make this a genuine test over 1200m, and provided the pair can pinch a break turning for home, Stardom should get every chance in the Wagga opener. Best Bet Race 1 – #8 Stardom (13) 2yo Filly | T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | J: Jett Stanley (56.5kg) Next Best at Wagga: Group Chat Group Chat was impressive when breaking her maiden at Wagga on April 13, pushing through at a crucial stage to score by 1.5 lengths. While the four-year-old strikes a much tougher assignment third-up and rises to 1400m for the first time, she seemed to have plenty left in the tank last time out. Expect Ashley Morgan to drag back towards the rear of the field from gate 13, but with a superior turn of foot to her rivals, Group Chat should have the last say in this.
