Wandering Eyes

Eight weeks after celebrating what they thought was a career pinnacle in the Gr.1 Thorndon Mile (1600m) at Trentham, the connections of blue-blooded mare Provence were treated to something even more special in Saturday’s Gr.1 HKJC World Pool New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) at Ellerslie. The fillies and mares’ feature carried a stake of $600,000 and was one of four Group Ones on a star-studded Champions Day card. Provence earned her time in the spotlight with a stunning $30 upset over the $1.30 favourite, New Zealand’s highest-rated mare Legarto. “This is a great feeling,” trainer Stephen Marsh said. “Throughout the last few weeks and months, I just couldn’t wait to get to this day. It’s the greatest day ever and so awesome for New Zealand racing. You just come into it hoping that your horses can step up, and this mare has done that.” Provence earned her first Group One victory in the Thorndon Mile on January 11. She dug deep all the way down the long Trentham straight that day and edged out Qali Al Farrasha, Town Cryer and Aegon in a desperately close finish. In her only start since then, Provence was badly blocked in the straight in the Listed Lisa Chittick Champagne Stakes (1400m) at Matamata on February 15. She saw daylight very late in the piece, making up some late ground to get within three and a half lengths of Legarto. When they met again in Saturday’s Breeders’ Stakes, the result was very different. Legarto had been a victim of circumstances in her two previous shock Ellerslie defeats, finishing strongly from too far back to run second in last year’s Elsdon Park Aotearoa Classic (1600m) and Gr.1 Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes (2000m). This time rider Ryan Elliot had her well within striking distance and she ranged up alongside the leaders at the top of the straight. But this time Provence surged out of the pack and soon drew up on Legarto’s outside, with a strong-finishing Jaarffi flashing through closer to the inside. Provence and Jaarffi swallowed up Legarto with about 70m remaining, fighting a head-bobbing finish that Provence won by a short head. Legarto was another half-length away in third. It was a third consecutive win in the Breeders’ Stakes for jockey Sam Spratt, who guided Belclare to back-to-back victories in 2023 and 2024. “We had a bad draw to start with, so we were a bit disheartened coming into this race,” she said. “But we ended up actually getting a beautiful trip, just in midfield and one off. “As soon as she got out, she’s just so tough. We went past Legarto, and I thought, ‘If we’ve managed to get past her, we must be a chance here.’ But then Warren (Kennedy, riding Jaarffi) bombed me at the end and he actually said ‘I got you.’ So I went from being excited to ‘aw’. But she’s just so tough. “Stephen has nailed it with this mare. She’s hit the mark when it matters in two Group One races. She went pretty well at Matamata last time too, pretty much just cantering to the line.” Provence has now had 16 starts for six wins, a placing and $817,115 in stakes. The five-year-old Savabeel mare was bred by Tony Rider, who shares ownership with the Social Racing Ellerslie Winners’ Circle Syndicate. Provence is a full-sister to Damask Rose, who won the Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) over the same course and distance in January. “We’ve had so many seconds this season, and when they hit the line there, I thought that was going to be another second placing in the books,” Marsh said. “But then the photo popped up on the screen and it was just the best feeling.“You’d love to have a few more like this mare in your stable. She’s so tough and has an amazing will to win. She has now won two Group One races this season and she’s a beautifully bred Savabeel mare, so it couldn’t be any better than that. It’s great for Tony Rider, for Brent and Wendy Cooper and a massive syndicate of owners with Social Racing.” View the full article

Ken and Bev Kelso bought Alabama Lass in Melbourne as a yearling two years ago, and a stunning performance in Saturday’s Gr.3 Haunui Farm King’s Plate (1200m) at Ellerslie has them plotting a return. The $250,000 sprint feature on Champions Day was a rematch of the Gr.1 Railway (1200m) in January, where Crocetti defeated Alabama Lass by a short head. Alabama Lass had a weight swing in her favour on Saturday and jumped as a $1.70 favourite to turn the tables, and she delivered in style. Alabama Lass broke sharply from the gates, went straight to the lead and never gave her five rivals a look in. Jockey Sam Spratt put the pedal to the floor at the home turn and Alabama Lass exploded clear, opening up a winning margin of five and a quarter lengths over Crocetti. Alabama Lass stopped the clock at 1:10.46. “It was just such a shame that it rained for the Railway last time,” Spratt said. “If that rain hadn’t come, I’m pretty sure she would have done something similar there and would probably have won that race too. But it was a super effort today. “I just tried to cuddle her up as long as I could. She just travelled so well, and even though she’s skipping along quite fast, she’s doing it so easily. I just cuddled her up and then pressed the button in the straight.” Alabama Lass became the fourth three-year-old to win the King’s Plate in the last 20 years, joining Jazzella (2007), Martini Red (2008) and Sword Of State (2022). Alabama Lass has now had eight starts for five wins, three seconds and $609,750 in stakes – an outstanding return on her A$120,000 yearling price in Melbourne. Her three-year-old season has seen her win the Gr.2 Soliloquy Stakes (1400m) and Gr.3 Gold Trail Stakes (1200m), alongside second placings in the Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) and Railway. “I’m very proud of her,” Ken Kelso said on Saturday. “She’s a beautiful filly, a little gem. “We’ve always known she was capable of something like this. She was just unlucky to strike rain-affected tracks in those Group One placings in her last two starts. Take nothing away from the horses that beat her in those races, but the rain just dulled her sprint a little bit. Today was a different story. “We’ll look at taking her across to Melbourne now, where there’s a three-year-old race over 1100m later in the month. It’s just a Listed race, but it would be good to pick up a bit of black type over there if we can.” That race is the A$500,000 HKJC World Pool Sprint Classic (1100m) at Flemington on March 29.Despite having to settle for second behind Alabama Lass in the King’s Plate, Crocetti picked up the five points he needed to win the $300,000 bonus prize for topping the table in the Sport Nation Champion Sprint Series. He finished with 15 points, which puts him just ahead of Alabama Lass and Here To Shock on 12. View the full article

Ex-pat Kiwi rider Michael (Mick) Dee gained early success on his latest race day return to his homeland when he guided favourite Island Life to victory in the Gr. 3 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Sunline Vase (2100m) at Ellerslie. Dee, who plies in his trade in Melbourne these days after spending his formative years in New Zealand, had been engaged to partner race favourite Willydoit in the Gr.1 Trackside New Zealand Derby (2400m) later on the card and got his day off to a great start with a superb effort on the Steven Ramsay and Julia Ritchie-prepared daughter of Vadamos. Dee took up the initiative by sitting the three-year-old filly outside pacemaker Eye Candy, which was against her normal pattern of getting back and finishing her races off strongly. That decision proved a masterstroke in the six-horse field as Island Life was in the perfect position to issue her challenge early in the run home, where she shot to the front and held out the late challenge of This Time Girl to score her second career victory at just her seventh start. Dee was pleased with the run and noted her toughness would hold her in good stead if she pressed ahead to a start in the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Trentham on 22 March. “She’s very tough and tries hard which is what she has going for her as she is not that big,” Dee said. “I was pleased when she ended up outside the leader as she relaxed really well and when I gave her a squeeze up I got pretty confident a long way out. “The extra distance (of the Oaks) could be a question mark, but she is very tough and is going in the right direction so you have to have a go while she is going well.” Ritchie cut an emotional figure as she waited for the Sir Peter Vela owned and bred filly make her way back to the winners’ enclosure. “I grew up here and this means just so much as we have had huge pressure with this filly,” she said. “To do this for Sir Peter on this incredible day just feels unbelievable. “It has taken a little while to work her out as she is pretty awkward, but Michael gave her a peach of a ride and I’m just so proud of her as she ground it out and finished it off so well. “We will see how she comes through this before we make a decision (on Trentham) as she can be a little quirky, but she relaxed today which was great.” Out of the Montjeu mare Lycia, a half sister to the Gr.1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) winner De Beers, her third dam is dual Group One winner Tristalove while she is also closely related to recent Gr.1 Australian Guineas (1600m) winner Feroce.Saturday’s victory on the rich Champions Day card at Ellerslie has taken her prizemoney earnings over $208,000 from two wins and three placings from her seven career starts.

Expensive colt Return To Conquer extended his unbeaten record to four as he brought up a significant milestone for the Te Akau Racing operation when winning the Gr. 1 Sistema Stakes (1200m) at Ellerslie. The son of Snitzel was bought by Te Akau Racing boss David Ellis for A$1.3 million as a yearling on the Gold Coast in January of last year and his latest success made it 100 Group One wins for Ellis and his team at Te Akau Racing. Starting a warm $2.10 Fixed Odds favourite, Return To Conquer enjoyed a perfect run in transit for top Australian jockey Blake Shinn who had him relaxed beautifully in midfield before angling into a challenging position approaching the home turn. Shinn asked for an effort at the 250m and the favourite strode to the front but had to endure a testing battle in the final few strides as Landlocked stormed at him, just missing by half a head to land the major spoils. Mark Walker, who prepares the colt in partnership with Sam Bergerson, paid tribute to both Ellis and the horse as he summed up the performance shortly after the placings were confirmed. “Since Dave established the stable that is the 100th Group One win,” Walker said. “Full credit to team leader (Ellis) as he has bought many many winners and with this guy he spent $1.3 million without any owners earmarked and it shows just how good he is. “It (the race) looked to be quite smooth sailing until the last 100m, but watching it live can be difficult and I’m pleased for Blake to get the win. “We never make decisions on race day and we will wait until he trots out on Monday before we work it out from there.” Walker hinted a start in the biggest two-year-old event in Australia, the A$5 million Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill on Saturday 22 March at Rosehill is on the cards, as Return To Conquer holds a nomination for the race. “We are open to the idea (a Golden Slipper bid) but he is still a young horse, still developing and growing so we will enjoy today and regroup,” he said. “He has a great temperament, is bombproof and he is unbeaten for a reason as he has the will to win.” Shinn was quick to acknowledge the close relationship he is building with Te Akau Racing which includes winning the Karaka Million 3YO (1600m) in January aboard Damask Rose, his mount in the inaugural $3.5million NZB Kiwi (1500m) later in the day. “The blinkers went on today to encourage him to put a field away as he gets there (the front) and thinks his job is done,” Shinn said. “He rallied hard today when the second horse came at him and he is unbeaten still and may be ready now for a reset as he has had a long prep. “It’s great to win for Te Akau today as I’ve built up a great relationship with David Ellis and the team. I’ve come over in the last few months and put a bit of work in with them and that helped me make the decision to come here today and ride for them. “What David has created here is a world class business and I feel fortunate and lucky to get the call up.”Return To Conquer, who is out of the Lonhro mare Vaujany, has now had four starts for four black type wins and has banked $534,750 for owners the Te Akau 2024 Stallion Breeding Syndicate.

Jedibeel surges to victory in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Randwick. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Brad Widdup & Tyler Schiller combined with Jedibeel ($10.00) to claim victory in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon, slicing between horses to record an impressive eighth career win. The son of Savabeel was first-up after a 84-day spell, however, did bring residual fitness into the $500,000 feature after securing Listed success at the end of last preparation over 1200m. The five-year-old gelding had never missed the frame fresh, and that trend continued on Saturday, with the sharper 1000m journey proving no issues, with Jedibeel cuddled up to get the last crack at his rivals. He was aided by the small field ticking over some slower sectionals in the middle stages, as Rachel King elected to lead aboard Way To The Stars (). The well-supported bookmaker favourite appeared to have it all her own way, with I Am Me ($2.80) finding the leaders’ back throughout the journey, while Uncommon James ($7.50) was the only runner sticking to outside the leader. Jedibeel and Kimochi () were in the back-half of the field, however, the latter was forced to sit three wide throughout the trip, with Dragonstone ($15.00) keeping her in a pocket at a crucial stage. Jedibeel sliced through to hit the lead, and while Kimochi had excuses, the daughter of Brave Smash would have to settle for the minor money. Click here for Randwick race replays. Jedibeel has been a model of consistency for Brad Widdup as he spoke post-race. “He’s been a terrific horse from day one for us, and it’s great to see him do this,” said Widdup. “Obviously, we aimed at the Razor Sharp last time and gave him a short break to get him back for these sort of races. “I was keen to run him next week but if I did that I’d miss out on the Galaxy, so I threw the cards on the table and rolled the dice today, and away we went. “Tyler’s (Schiller) always been a big believer that the Galaxy is a race we should be aiming at. He’s got a massive turn of foot and especially with a ride like that, where he can get out late and he finishes good. “He’s a winner, you know these horses, they do it week in week out when they learn how to win and you can’t train them, they just win, they’re naturals.” Tyler Schiller was delighted with the win as he spoke post-race. “I was a bit nervous that James was trying to look for the same spot as me,” said Schiller. “He’s just got a great turn of foot, he’s got a great racing pattern, he just lobs in behind the speed. He actually jumped really well today, which I didn’t want to be too close. “I thought James was the horse to follow and then I was getting a bit held up and it just helped him even more because he’s got that great dash and I thought he was really strong late.” Jedibeel is now a () for the Group 1 Galaxy (1100m) on March 22.

Tom Kitten ridden by Ben Melham wins the All-Star Mile at Flemington. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) James Cummings has claimed his first All Star Mile (1600m) as a trainer, following a perfectly timed ride from Ben Melham aboard Tom Kitten (+360) at Flemington. Following his flashing light run when he was an unlucky runner-up behind Mr Brightside (+170) in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes, the son of Harry Angel has turned the tables on the champion by defeating him in a head-bobbing finish to the All Star Mile. As expected, Rise At Dawn (+1700) jumped well from his barrier to lead ahead of Mr Brightside, while the equal-favourite with Neds, Another Wil (+170), settled in the box seat behind the leader, with Light Infantry Man (+3000) holding him on the rail. Very little changed throughout the 1600m contest before the 600m mark, but it was Light Infantry Man who made the first move by peeling off the heels of Mr Brightside, which gave Tom Kitten a perfect cart around the home turn. Craig Williams went for Mr Brightside at the 300m mark but Melham still had a strong hold on Tom Kitten, who was slowly taking ground off the new leader. The two settled down for a ding-dong battle in the final 100m, and it would be the Godolphin runner who would claim victory by a narrow margin on the line. Click here for Flemington race replays. Nacim Dilmi represented the winning stable in the post-race interview. “He pulled up so well from the Futurity. We were very confident coming into this race,” Dilmi said. “Never underestimate Mr Brightside. “He’s the best miler in the world and, gee, at the top of the straight the way he was travelling, we knew he’d put up a good fight and he sure did all the way to the end. “He’s got a lot of ability (Tom Kitten). “A lot of things never went to plan with him. “He’s had many luckless races and this prep, the guys at Osborne Park said earlier, the way he has been going we knew he was in for a good prep and he sure has. “Now it is onwards to the Australian Cup. 2000-metres and he’ll put in another good fight.” Ben Melham was very happy with the win post-race. “He came back really good, this horse. His second prep as a gelding and James Cuummings and Godolphin, they’re such good conditioners of this calibre of horse heading to these big races,” Melham said. “He was obviously very unlucky the other day. In another hop, he probably beats Mr Brightside. “He had the cheaper run and he has probably bounced out of it better. “I was confident he could come here and beat Brightside today, but he just has a few antics on the barriers and stepped a bit ordinary, but it worked out really well for us. “I was able to suck up for a little bit straightening, and when I let him down, I knew he’d be there for me. “He’s really genuine now. I know he’s got a bit of a bad rap but he’s run a lot of good races. He’s run into stiff competition. “For him to put another big one on the mantlepiece is a great effort by the horse and the stable.” Horse racing news View the full article

Middle Earth (GB) ridden by Mark Zahra wins the Australian Cup Prelude at Flemington.(Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Ciaron Maher and Mark Zahra have combined with Middle Earth on his Australian racing debut to claim the Australian Cup Prelude (2000m) at Flemington. The ex-European gelding was heavily backed with PlayUp in the final 10 minutes before the jump, as his odds continued to shorten from a high of +380 to +250. The son of Roaring Lion settled worse than midfield and enjoyed a strong tempo that was set by Aramco (+850) and Smokin Romans (+1300) at the front of the field. As usual in most middle distance races at Flemington, the runs started to come as the field swept around the final corner, with Berkshire Breeze (+1800) and Shaiyhar (+850) getting motivated on the outside of the leaders. Zahra had to wait for a run to appear to get Middle Earth off the fence, but once it did, his mount let down with a strong turn of foot and finished over the top of Berkshire Breeze and Shaiyhar. However, his main rival late was his stablemate Duke De Sessa (+340), who was held up behind a wall of horses, and he burst through late to put in a dive at the winner but ultimately missed by a long neck on the line. Click here for Flemington race replays. Ciaron Maher was elated with the victory in his post-race interview. “It is great when those really well-credentialled horses come,” Maher said. “The owners are very patient. He could have a run today and be a live Australian Cup hope. “I’m sure Mark will give him a glowing report. He started well in the market in the King George (in the UK), but we’ve not seen a lot of that form over here. “He’s only going to improve. He’s still furnishing. “There’s no better, patient rider (than Mark Zahra). He gives the horse confidence. “He looks like he liked Flemington. “I’m sure the horse will improve as first-up over 10-furlongs, it is a good effort by the team.” Mark Zahra brought up riding double with the victory, and he spoke post-race. “He had brilliant form in the UK,” Zahra said of the winner. “He travelled well. The speed really came out of it but to let them sprint and put pay to them was a really good effort. “He’s very straightforward, and Ciaron has done a great job getting him ready after they decided not to run in the spring. “I’m sure there is a lot more improvement to come after today.” Middle Earth is the equal-second favourite at +350 with online bookmakers in the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) futures markets.

Little Baia winning the Group 3 Aspiration Quality. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au The Bjorn Baker-trained Little Baia ($9.50) has chalked up her hat-trick of wins for the preparation, making every post a winner in the Group 3 Aspiration Quality (1600m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon. Rachel King elected to head straight to the top from barrier three, with the daughter of All Too Hard well-placed with 53kg on her back throughout the contest. She was able to lead at her own leisure throughout the 1600m journey, with no other runners electing to put any pressure on in the race, with the like of It’s A Knockout ($3.00) and Mare Of Mt Buller ($3.50) happy to park towards the rear of the field in the middle stages. Hinged () didn’t have much luck when attempting to get clear under James McDonald, and the Worthy Cause mare already had a difficult task with 61kg on her back. Little Baia still had plenty left in the tank as King pulled the persuaded, while the likes of It’s A Knockout and Mare Of Mt Buller could alone chase in vein, giving the five-year-old too big of a head start as they turned for home. It was honours to the winner in the end, however, as the consistent mare was rewarded with her third straight victory, and her sixth career win at start 26. Click here for Randwick race replays. Bjorn Baker was on track to discuss the victory. “Well, she’s a big, strong mare and she’s really continued to develop,” said Baker. “She’s one of those horses that even a year, year and a half ago we debated whether we should proceed with her, but I’ve always had a lot of faith in her and she’s got a really good pedigree and she’s a Group 3 winner now, so an amazing result for the team. “Her work’s just been unbelievable, we had to pinch ourselves. When she galloped on Tuesday, and Luke and I talk and we’re like, ‘we can’t believe it.’ She is just flying and she looks amazing. So, yeah, it’s so much good fun. “Great to be here.” Baker then briefly spoke about Perfumust after a strong performance in New Zealand for the inaugural running of The Kiwi (1500m). “Yeah, and she went super. “She ran a great race, I was very proud of her performance. She’s done an amazing job this preparation. “We’ll put her out and then we’re going to try and get into the Golden Eagle. We’ll do everything we can to set her up for that. But I thought today she was really good.” Rachel King then spoke post-race about the victory of Little Baia. “She did her thing, she got out there in front, got a nice first half of the race, and 53 kilos on her back which we took full advantage of,” said King. “Probably put them to the sword a little bit early but I knew she’s a very fit horse and she’s very talented. “Her confidence is really great but she’s bigger and stronger as well in this preparation. “I galloped her on Tuesday and noticed a big difference, having been away, how much bigger and stronger she is, and she’s putting that on the race track.” Horse racing news View the full article

Vinrock ridden by Mark Zahra wins the VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes at Flemington. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Vinrock (+240) has maintained his undefeated record by taking out the Group 2 VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) in his second career start, following a dominant debut victory at Pakenham. The Matt Laurie-trained gelding led from start to finish on debut, and Mark Zahra didn’t change tactics on the son of I Am Invincible, who bowled along out in front before kicking clear in the concluding stages of the race. After the opening favourite Tycoon Star was scratched, Vinrock was installed as the clear favourite with BlondeBet, and even though there was specking for a number of runners, the favourite duly saluted for his followers. Zahra made sure the tempo was sedate throughout the 1400m contest, as he led the field up ahead of Ohope (+900) and Brave Design (+650). As the leader straightened for the run home, there was never a worry if you were on him, as he continued to race away from his rivals the further they went. Vinrock claimed an impressive two-length victory over Brave Design and Onavuitton (+2000). Click here for Flemington race replays. Matt Laurie was full of compliments about the winner post-race. “He’s got good gate speed, he put himself there and doesn’t overdo it. He finds when asked the question,” Laurie said. “He was good at Pakenham, which is a big track, and here at Flemington, he has gone well. “He’s a very tough horse, and when he was placed under pressure at his first start, he really responded well and went to another level today. “I nearly ran him last prep. He was the first of our two-year-olds to trial. “I felt that at that stage they were five-furlong races, and he looks like seven-furlongs plus, so we put him away. “If he pulls up well, we’ll go to Sydney for the Sires’ there.” Mark Zahra explained that he was very keen to ride Vinrock after trialling him before his debut. “I have to give Matty credit. I trialled him over 1000-metres and he said he wanted to go to a 1300-metre race at Bendigo on a Saturday and I said it didn’t suit me because I can’t ride him,” Zahra explained. “He went to a 1200 and he won well there. “Matt had this race picked out before he even started. “He’s obviously a very good judge of a horse and he has plotted a path and it has come off. “He is just a dream to ride for a two-year-old. “Came out a bit sticky out of the gates but not too bad. He’s hardly raised a sweat.” Vinrock is rated as a +1400 chance with horse racing bookmakers in the Group 1 Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) futures markets. Horse racing news View the full article

Tentyris winning the Group 2 Todman Stakes. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Godolphin has claimed a race-to-race double at Randwick on Saturday afternoon, with the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Tentyris ($8.00) stormed clear of his rivals in the Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m). The Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) runner-up returned to Sydney in terrific order and got conditions to suit as a trio of runners went forward to dictate terms throughout proceedings. Beiwacht ($7.00), North England ($9.50) and Pallaton ($12.00) made a line of three in the early stages, allowing the heavily back favourite with horse racing bookmakers, Wodeton ($2.00), to track the leaders every step of the way. Tycoon Star ($5.00) was happy to stalk the favourite from the outset, while Nash Rawiller was smoking the pipe towards the rear of the field as they continued to quicken into the final 400m. Wodeton loomed up to take over at the furlong pole and appeared to have them all covered, however, Tentyris was going two to his one in the shadows of the post to give the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) market a real shake two weeks out. Click here for Randwick race replays. Anthony Freedman was on course to speak on behalf of the stable to discuss the win of his impressive two-year-old colt. “We’ve always liked him, but he made a mess of his first start,” said Freedman. “But ever since then he’s grown up and the trip up here, whatever the result, was always going to make him a better horse. “His form’s now looking very consistent if you rule out his first start. So I think the fact that he put a length on them late is the best part of it. “As I said, if he hasn’t been a couple of weeks, he should be there about. “Well, I’ve said all along that there’s no standout and hopefully he’s it.” Nash Rawiller was elated with the win as he spoke post-race. “Good old Nash Road hasn’t let me down again,” joked Rawiller. “He’s a beautiful colt, look he’s very unassuming, he just sort of does what he has to and look as the race developed approaching the 250m, it felt like a track gallop for him winning the race, the way he started to chime into it. “Obviously when the other Melbourne horse drifted out in front of him it made it a little bit more awkward, but I loved his tenacity and the way he hit the line.” Tentyris is now on the second line of betting at for the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) on March 22.

Is It Me ridden by Billy Egan wins the Shaftesbury Avenue Handicap at Flemington Racecourse. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Is It Me has recorded his first straight win at the Flemington 1400m by giving his rivals a galloping lesson in the Group 3 Staftesbury Avenue Handicap (1400m). The Daniel Bowman-trained gelding was sent out as a heavily-backed favourite with Dabble, shortening from +170 into +150 in the final minutes before jump time. The other well-backed commodity and likely leader, Fancify (+800), found the front ahead of Ayrton (+150), and they ran the race along at a good tempo throughout. Klabel (+2000) settled behind the leading duo, while the eventual winner was well back and searching for runs as the field turned for home. With most of the speed influence struggling to find at the 300m mark, Billy Egan pushed his mount through the field and weaved a passage underneath Fancify to burst through and take over by the 200m pole. Once Egan asked for the complete effort from Is It Me, he stromed clear and ran away with the race to win by 3.75 lengths over Klabel and Lady Jones (+1100). Click here for Flemington race replays. Daniel Bowman was very happy to see Is It Me breakthrough at Group 3 level, and he spoke post-race. “It all worked out. Three or four weeks between runs. Nice, big track. Billy Egan was positive. He said before the race what he’d do and that is how it panned out. He said it might look a bit ugly early but to bear with him,” Bowman said. “The horse was very immature mentally and it has taken time to work out his craft. “It really has been a blessing to link up with Billy. “We just needed a bit of luck and the horse is in a good vein of form. The staff are doing a great job with his trackwork. “I’ve got to say that this is a tough caper. I’ve won a Group 1 race but it has been a while since I have had a good one but you have to catch and kill your own.” Billy Egan echoed similar thoughts to Bowman in his interview. “Credit to Dan. He’s got him in form and he knows him really well,” Egan said. “He doesn’t need to tighten the screws any more. He’s got him in such a good racing zone. “His win on a soft track was good but when he gets on firmer ground, he is really effective. “I thought as he is a big horse that he’d be surrounded by a lot of gallopers. “Rather than trying to get in a bumping duel trying to come out, I thought we’d keep sucking it up. “It might have been messy if we didn’t get through but I was confident.” Horse racing news View the full article

Tempted winning the Group 2 Reisling Stakes. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Godolphin filly Tempted ($2.80) has proven too classy for the girls in the Group 2 Reisling Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon, surging clear to secure a stunning victory and booking her ticket to the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m). The daughter of Street Boss put the writing on the wall after a luckless effort in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) on February 22, running up behind a wall of horses in the two-year-old classic. She couldn’t have been more impressive returning to Sydney on Saturday, with the James Cummings-trained galloper producing a barnstorming run down the centre of the course. She was suited by a genuine tempo courtesy of Bel Merci ($7.50) who looked to travel beautifully under Chad Schofield, while the John Sargent-trained debutant Nullarbor Jane ($11.00) was able to land on the leaders’ back from barrier 11. Marhoona ($10.00) loomed large in the concluding stages after landing the one-one throughout, while favourite backers with horse racing bookmakers would’ve been nervous as McDonald found cover in at the back-half of the field. Marhoona hit the front with 200m left to travel, but Tempted was breathing down her neck before surging to the top to claim a dominant win in the 2025 Reisling Stakes.

James Cummings was on course to break down the win and confirm what’s next for the two-year-old filly. “We’ll get the opportunity to let the dust settle and see how this lines up amongst all of the lead-ups,” said Cummings. “But I like that she’s come out of the Blue Diamond, she’s not taken a backward step from there. “She’s just freshened up beautifully at the farm between runs and we’ve barely done much with her, yet she’s been able to deliver off the back of a strongly run six furlong race here at Randwick. “Floated home up the middle, perfectly to plan, she’ll step off that and she can go right into the Slipper with a sail full of momentum and an absolute truckload of confidence. “You get a draw in a race like that, it makes a big difference. But she’s had the seasoning, she’s got the attitude for it. There’s a bit of jostling at the back of the field and she could cope with that to hold her spot.” James McDonald was impressed with the performance as he spoke post-race. “Yeah, she was really good,” said McDonald. “She’s a proper genuine chance in two weeks’ time for sure. “I thought I was going to see the outside fence for a little bit, I was getting shunted a little bit. “She’s a professional, she’s very similarly to her mum (Calliope). Her mum was a little rocket, but she’s got a better head on her shoulders, so that’ll take her a long way.” Tempted is now a $11.00 chance with BlondeBet for the Group 1 Golden Slipper on March 22.

Enriched winnings the Listed Fireball Stakes. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au The Michael Freedman-trained Enriched ($6.50) has railed through in the concluding stages to claim the Listed Fireball Stakes (1100m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon. The son of I Am Invincible did it stylishly in the end, storming along the inside running rail to secure his second career victory under the Tommy Berry drive. It was perfect ride by the star hoop, sitting on the back of Flying For Fun ($8.00) throughout the 1100m journey, with the Bryce Heys-trained filly ticking over some modest sectionals in the middle stages. Yoshinobu ($2.90) had been well-supported with horse racing bookmakers prior to the jump and failed to slot in for cover in the early stages under James McDonald, with the Written Tycoon colt pulling his way three-wide for most of the trip. Zac Lloyd was happy to smoke the pipe aboard Zeitung ($3.30) sitting last as the field of seven swung for home, giving the daughter of Exceed And Excel the final crack at her rivals. There was only one horse punters would’ve wanted to be on, however, as Enriched extended in the final furlong to put them away comfortably in the 2025 Fireball Stakes. Click here for Randwick race replays. Michael Freedman was on course to speak post-race. “He’s a colt I’ve always had a nice opinion of,” said Freedman. “He’s still a colt at the moment which is nice. It was great to see him today faithful some of the potential he’s been showing for the last 12 months or so. “With that pedigree there’s some nice three-year-old races around and as I said he’s still a colt and very well bred, so see how he pulls up, but maybe we look at a Derby Munro or something then possibly a crack at the Arrowfield Sprint.” Enriched is currently a $15 chance with Neds in the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint (1200m) on April 12.

Military Tycoon ridden by Thomas Stockdale wins the Group 3 Ottawa Stakes at Flemington. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Ciaron Maher has struck early on All Star Mile Day at Flemington with his two-year-old filly Military Tycoon (+360) showing a superior turn of foot to claim the Group 3 Ottawa Stakes (1000m). The daughter of Written Tycoon was given a great ride by Thomas Stockdale, as they led from start to finish to salute for punters as a well-backed second favourite with Picklebet. As the only runner who had raced down the Flemington straight, the experience was telling, as Stockdale took the race by the scruff of the neck and dominted from the front. Military Tycoon gave a strong kick at the 300m mark and put up a length margin on Gin Spirit, who chased gamely, before running away with a dominant two-length win over Gin Spirit (+320) and Pure Passion (+1300). With the 12-horse field choosing to split, the group on the stand side were clearly in front of the inside division throughout the run, which may be a sign for later races down the straight. Click here for Flemington race replays. Ciaron Maher spoke to the media post-race. “She’s always shown that sort of ability and it unravelled for her during the Cup Carnival,” Maher said. “She trialled up really nicely and Tom has done a good job. “There is hardly a horse in the stable that I have of Bennett Racing’s that doesn’t have some sort of ability. “They do a very good job of selecting their horses and you can see they’ve got a huge crew of owners so it is fantastic. “They just retired Southport Tycoon to stud so hopefully this is their next group horse. “He’s a good horseman. There’s good jockeys and then there’s good horsemen as well. “They are happy to assist in the training and feedback is crucial. “Tom certainly is one of them. “His feedback in the morning is very beneficial and he’s obviously screwed down, he’s fit and well and has a heap of ability. He is heading in the right direction.” Thomas Stockdale was very happy with the win, and he spoke post-race. “I’ve put a lot of effort into working her at home. She’s not an easy ride. She’s very hot and she wants to do a few things wrong,” Stockdale said of the winner. “Throughout her trials I’ve learnt a lot about her and I was able to implement that today. “I felt like a winner a furlong after the gates. She is going well. “This isn’t the end for her. She is in for good things. “I haven’t had a lift like that up the straight for quite a while. “It is good to be getting support from Ciaron and his team. “Nathan (Bennett) has been a good supporter of mine especially over the last month.” Horse racing news View the full article

Island Life winning the Group 3 Sunline Vase (2100m) at Ellerslie on Saturday. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Ex-pat Kiwi rider Michael Dee gained early success on his latest race day return to his homeland when he guided favourite Island Life to victory in the Group 3 Sunline Vase (2100m) at Ellerslie. Dee, who plies in his trade in Melbourne these days after spending his formative years in New Zealand, had been engaged to partner race favourite Willydoit in the Group 1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) later on the card and got his day off to a great start with a superb effort on the Steven Ramsay and Julia Ritchie-prepared daughter of Vadamos. Dee took up the initiative by sitting the three-year-old filly outside pacemaker Eye Candy, which was against her normal pattern of getting back and finishing her races off strongly. That decision proved a masterstroke in the six-horse field as Island Life was in the perfect position to issue her challenge early in the run home, where she shot to the front and held out the late challenge of This Time Girl to score her second career victory at just her seventh start. Click here for Ellerslie race replays. Dee was pleased with the run and noted her toughness would hold her in good stead if she pressed ahead to a start in the Group 1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Trentham on March 22. “She’s very tough and tries hard which is what she has going for her as she is not that big,” Dee said. “I was pleased when she ended up outside the leader as she relaxed really well and when I gave her a squeeze up I got pretty confident a long way out. “The extra distance (of the Oaks) could be a question mark, but she is very tough and is going in the right direction so you have to have a go while she is going well.” Ritchie cut an emotional figure as she waited for the Sir Peter Vela owned and bred filly make her way back to the winners’ enclosure. “I grew up here and this means just so much as we have had huge pressure with this filly,” she said. “To do this for Sir Peter on this incredible day just feels unbelievable. “It has taken a little while to work her out as she is pretty awkward, but Michael gave her a peach of a ride and I’m just so proud of her as she ground it out and finished it off so well. “We will see how she comes through this before we make a decision (on Trentham) as she can be a little quirky, but she relaxed today which was great.” Horse racing news View the full article
