It has been almost a year since Ayrton (NZ) (Iffraaj) last raced, but after a long and steady build-up the gelding is set to run at Flemington. Ayrton lines up in the Group 3 Shaftesbury Avenue Handicap (1400m) on Saturday having not raced since finishing seventh in last year’s edition of the All-Star Mile which was held at Caulfield. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained galloper was in work and being prepared for a spring campaign last year but did not come up as expected and was turned out for a break. Kent Jnr said the extended break had done Ayrton the world of good and the gelding’s work and jump-outs suggest he still has the zest to be a racehorse. “He just didn’t come up last preparation,” Kent Jnr said. “He was sound all the way through the preparation, and we got him to the trial stage, but he wasn’t giving his riders the feel that he was going to run well. “We had a good look at him and decided to give him a long break. “He’s had a long, steady build up and it’s pleasing to say that he’s a completely different horse to last preparation.” Ayrton has only had the 24 career starts, winning eight times with a further four placings. A rising eight-year-old Kent Jnr said it was all up to Ayrton as to how far he goes this preparation. “Being an older horse, we’re mindful that it’s all up to him,” Kent Jnr said. “We won’t force the issue, if he wants to do it, he’ll show us. “Both his jump-outs have been very good. He was in a hot heat last time and worked home well. “He had a big blow, so whilst he’s got an extremely good first-up record, he’s an older horse now, and he’s in better races and it’s 12 months since his last start. “We think he’ll massively improve with the run, but I’m looking forward to seeing him back. “It’s a race, at his best, that is certainly within his grasp, but we haven’t asked to see a heap at home, so we’ll see how he’s going on race day.” View the full article

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk As first wins go Nikita Burton’s was about as easy as they get. “It was such a thrill,” the 18-year-old said after Seaside Rose cruised to victory in yesterday’s Placemakers Mobile Pace at Oamaru. Driving for her employers Steve and Amanda Telfer, Burton went forward with the four-year-old mare to sit parked. The combo stayed there throughout before clearing out to a two length win, ahead of fast finishing Classie Linc. “This is a performance,” said commentator Craig Rail, “without cover over 2600 metres she jogs in.” “It’s hard to describe the feeling,” says Burton, “but I looked around (at the finish) and there was no-one there.” It was the mare’s fifth win in 26 starts and Burton’s first in 12 race day drives. It was Seaside Rose’s southern debut after racing previously at Alexandra Park, Cambridge and Hawera. “I’d only driven her once in work, she only arrived here nine days ago,” says Burton. Burton’s always been around horses and racing, with her father Neil being a long-time hobby trainer and driver from Mid Canterbury. She got a full time job at Stonewall just over a year ago after working there during the holidays. Before her breakthrough win her previous best finishes were two seconds with Ultimate Counsel. Since the win the teenager’s had many messages from well-wishers. “There have been lots of them … everyone’s been very supportive.” “I just want to thank Mandy and Steve (Telfer) for putting me on and trusting me, I can’t thank them enough.” View the full article

By Jonny Turner Delightful Peg may have snuck under punters’ guards when winning the first heat of 2025’s Macca Lodge and Nevele R Stud Southern Oaks series at Oamaru yesterday. Trainer Brad Mowbray now has the luxury of being able to time his run into Group 2 final of the long-running championship after his filly sustained a big run win in a dead-heat victory. Fellow Canterbury horseman Mark Jones is in the same sweet spot after Selsey Anne charged home wide out to level with Delightful Peg right on the winning post. When Delightful Peg lines up in the Southern Oaks Final next month it will hardly be new territory for the three-year-old. Despite clashing with smart fillies like One For Jay, Spicey Crunch, Winelight and General Jen throughout her short career, Delightful Peg was let go at juicy $16 odds at Oamaru yesterday. “She has raced the good ones right the way through and she hasn’t had all the luck in the world,” Mowbray said. “In her last start at Winton she got left parked in a five-horse field.” “She has always had the ability there but she has gone through phases of doing a few things wrong.” “So it was good to see her get a result like that today.” Mowbray has aimed high with Delightful Peg because of the opinion he has had of the filly. Driver Matthew Williamson not only gave the pacer a winning trip in transit yesterday, he also gave her early education at his base at Oamaru racecourse. “Matty broke her in and gave her a good report,” Mowbray said. “We have always had a good opinion of her which is why she has raced some of the better ones.” Delightful Peg was purchased at the National Yearling Sales in Christchurch by her trainer’s mother-in-law Jenny Knight. Knight races Delightful Peg with Mowbray and her daughter, Melanie. Williamson was also in the winner’s circle as a trainer at his home track yesterday, producing Jordan Anne to win the Nat Kinzett Memorial Handicap Trot. The brilliantly consistent mare capitalised on a sweet trip in the trail to score for junior driver Hayden Douglas. The victory was the first for his new boss after Douglas moved to Oamaru to take up a position with the Williamson stable recently. The combination of Jordan Anne, Williamson and Douglas was also successful at Winton last month, before the junior driver made the shift back to his hometown from Invercargill. View the full article

What Alice Springs Races Where Pioneer Park Racecourse – Stuart Highway, Connellan, NT, 0870 When Saturday, March 8, 2025 First Race 10:39am ACST Visit Dabble The final meeting in the Red Centre before the start of the Alice Springs Cup Carnival next weekend sees 60 horses on deck for a highly competitive seven-event program on Saturday. A host of runners eyeing the Alice Springs Cup (2000m), Pioneer Sprint (1200m) and NT Guineas (1600m) will feature at Pioneer Park. The heatwave continues with 40C the forecast for Alice Springs on Saturday, and subsequently it will once again be an early start with the first race jumping at 10:39am ACST. It will be a good dirt surface and the rail will be in the true position. Best Bet at Alice Springs: Isolyfe Isolyfe steps back in grade and in distance after a last start fifth in a field of five behind Vinnie’s Spirit over 1600m at 0-70 level on February 15. Getting to an early lead, the six-year-old gelding attempted to continue from where he left off the previous week when he obliterated 0-64 opposition by 12.8 lengths. The son of I Am Invincible boasts two wins, two seconds, and two thirds from nine starts in the Red Centre. Sonja Logan is back on board after piloting Isolyfe to that sensational win on February 8. Best Bet Race 6 – #2 Isolyfe (1) 6yo Gelding | T: Ray Viney | J: Sonja Logan (60kg) Next Best at Alice Springs: Hasseltoff Terry Gillett’s Great Buy and Vinnie’s Spirit won’t lie down, but it’s hard to overlook Hasseltoff after his impressive debut win at Pioneer Park in a BM66 over 1600m on February 22. Having won at Morphettville over 1600m at BM78 in January, the eight-year-old gelding settled fourth and hit the front at the 1100m before holding command en route to victory by two lengths. The son of Toorak Toff looks hard to beat on Saturday, with Alice Springs Cup Carnival features awaiting. Next Best Race 4 – #2 Hasseltoff (2) 8yo Gelding | T: Dick Leech | J: Hannah Le Blanc (a2) (58.5kg) Best Value at Alice Springs: Hurn Court Hurn Court faces quality opposition in a serious hit-out before the Pioneer Sprint (1200m) on April 5 and is more than a serious chance, after being denied a certain victory over 1000m in 0-76 grade on February 22. After a three-month spell, the seven-year-old gelding settled fourth before finishing strongly along the rails. The son of Outreach was then shut out at the 150m and was forced three deep before coming fourth by 0.7 lengths. The early $5 quote with online bookmakers is appealing. Best Value Race 2 – #5 Hurn Court (4) 7yo Gelding | T: Terry Gillett | J: Dakota Gillett (a1.5) (59.5kg) Saturday quaddie tips for Alice Springs Alice Springs quadrella selections Saturday, March 8, 2025 1-2-3 1-3-4-5-6 2-8-9-10 1-2-3-4-5 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article

What Bunbury Cup Day 2025 Where Bunbury Racecourse – Brittain Rd, Bunbury WA 6230 When Saturday, March 8, 2025 First Race 12:19pm AWST Visit Dabble Bunbury will host its marquee raceday this Saturday afternoon, with the first of nine races scheduled to jump at 12:19pm AWST. The track was rated as a Good 4 at the time of acceptances, and with warm weather forecast in the lead-up to the meeting, it is expected that rating will hold up throughout the day. The rail will be in the +3m position for the entire circuit. Bunbury Cup tip: Antique Miss Antique Miss defeated a similar field to what she will face in the Listed Bunbury Cup when the Michael Grantham-trained mare proved the superior stayer in over 1800m at Ascot last start. The daughter of Domesday settled behind the speed before being flushed out three-wide before the home turn. Considering how strong her finishing burst was after covering more ground than the placegetters, Antique Miss will prove hard to beat again with a better run in transit. Bunbury Cup Race 8 – #3 Antique Miss (11) 5yo Mare | T: Michael Grantham | J: Chris Parnham (56kg) Bunbury Stakes tip: Ice Pick Nick Ice Pick Nick was set too much of a task in the Listed Pinjarra Classic last start, as he had to make up over 10 lengths on Snowdome in the final 400m of the race. The Stefan Vahala-trained gelding let down with a blistering turn of foot to finish fourth, only beaten by 1.9 lengths on the line. From barrier one, Shaun O’Donnell can settle much closer to the speed, peel off the leaders heels on the turn, and bounce back with a win in the Bunbury Stakes. Bunbury Stakes Race 7 – #7 Ice Pick Nick (1) 6yo Gelding | T: Stefan Vahala | J: Shaun O’Donnell (54kg) Best Bet at Bunbury: Just Saint James After failing to bring up a hat-trick of wins at Pinjarra last start, Just Saint James will seek a return to the winners stall in his first start at Bunbury. The Rob Gulberti-trained gelding was a little unlucky when finishing second behind Rocking Gem previously, but now that he rises to 1200m again, conditions will suit him much better. Chris Parnham will settle his mount near the rear of the field before releasing the brakes at the 400m mark to let Just Saint James finish off strongly. Best Bet Race 4 – #4 Just Saint James (6) 4yo Gelding | T: Rob Gulberti | J: Chris Parnham (57kg) Next Best at Bunbury: Scorpion Ruler Scorpion Ruler owns a strong record at Bunbury (3:2-0-1), and the Joshua Krispyn-trained galloper will seek to maintain that in his fourth start of this preparation. The son of Universal Ruler was a dominant winner at Mount Barker two starts back before being run over late at Ascot in his most recent run. From barrier two, Holly Watson will be able to dictate from the front of the field and give Scorpion Ruler every chance to bounce back. Next Best Race 6 – #6 Scorpion Ruler (2) 4yo Mare | T: Joshua Krispyn | J: Holly Watson (56.5kg) Quaddie tips for Bunbury Cup Day 2025 Bunbury quadrella selections Saturday, March 8, 2025 2-5-6 1-3-7-8 3-5-6-13-14 1-5 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article

What Randwick Guineas Day 2025 Where Royal Randwick Racecourse When Saturday, March 8, 2025 First Race 12:20pm AEDT Visit Dabble Group 1 action returns to Royal Randwick on Saturday afternoon, with a bumper 10-race program set for decision. The three-year-olds take centre stage in the Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m), while the Group 1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m) has attracted a quality field of 12 set to do battle for the $750,000 prize. The rail moves out +3m the entire circuit for the meeting, and although the track is rated a Good 4 at the time of acceptances, consistent rainfall should have punters anticipating a downgrade into the Soft range at some stage. 2025 Randwick Guineas Day is scheduled to get underway at 12:20pm local time. Race 1: BM72 Midway Handicap (1600m) Hell’s Itch gets the nod in the opening event and represents good each-way value with horse racing bookmakers. The son of Hellbent was tradesman like through the line behind Rush Attack at Rosehill on February 22, with the five-year-old doing his best work in the final furlong. Gate one should allow Alysha Collett to take closer order, and with this guy’s best form usually coming third-up in the campaign, watch for Hell’s Itch to be rattling home at the big odds. Selections: 8 HELL’S ITCH 12 BERNEN WIN 7 POCKETING 4 RUSH ATTACK Best Value Race 1 – #8 Hell’s Itch (1) 5yo Gelding | T: John Thompson | J: Alysha Collett (55kg) Race 2: Listed Fireball Stakes (1100m) The James Cummings-trained Zeitung is one of the better bets on the Randwick card as she returns from a 112-day spell. She was around the mark in all the three-year-old filly features in the spring, most notably taking out the Group 3 Vanity (1400m) at Flemington on November 2. She’s trialled like a bomb heading into this first-up target, and with the daughter of Exceed And Excel likely to have no issues with the sting out of the ground, watch for Zeitung to be flashing late at a good price with BlondeBet. Selections: 3 ZEITUNG 1 PERSPIRATION 5 ENRICHED 4 YOSHINOBU Best Bet Race 2 – #3 Zeitung (7) 3yo Filly | T: James Cummings | J: Zac Lloyd (56.5kg) Race 3: Group 2 Reisling Stakes (1200m) Temtped returns to Sydney after a luckless outing in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on February 22. The daughter of Street Boss had zero luck throughout the journey, only seeing daylight in the final 200m when it was all over. Expect James McDonald to drag back towards the rear of the field in search of cover from barrier 11, however, with this impressive filly set to get the last crack at her rivals, Tempted may simply prove too classy for the girls in this year’s edition of the Group 2 Reisling Stakes (1200m). Selections: 3 TEMPTED 2 INKARUNA 5 WISNIERSKA 7 TUPAKARA Reisling Stakes Race 3 – #3 Tempted (11) 2yo Filly | T: James Cummings | J: James McDonald (55.5kg) Race 4: Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m) It’s the boys turn to step out in the Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m), where the Chris Waller-trained Wodeton goes in search of redemption after suffering a 2.4-legnth defeat in the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on February 22. The Wootton Bassett colt had plenty of excuses on that occasion, sitting back and wide throughout the journey, and still had the audacity to lengthen in the concluding stages. Expect James McDonald to land near the one-one from gate five, and provided he can reproduce his debut peak, Wodeton should justify the short price with Picklebet. Selections: 5 WODETON 6 ALEPPO PINE 3 TYCOON STAR 1 NORTH ENGLAND Todman Stakes Race 4 – #5 Wodeton (5) 2yo Colt | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (55.5kg) Race 5: Group 3 Aspiration Quality (1600m) Mare Of Mt Buller got a pass mark returning at this course and distance on February 8, hitting the line well behind the in-form Point And Shoot. The effort had plenty of merit returning from a 119-day spell, with the daughter of Dundeel forced to lug top weight in BM78 company. This contest is much tougher on paper; however, with the sting out of the ground and 54kg on her back, Mare Of Mt Buller fits in nicely and appears to be a live chance in this year’s Group 3 Aspiration Quality (1600m). Selections: 3 MARE OF MT BULLER 7 IT’S A KNOCKOUT 1 HINGED 5 WINGS OF DESIRE Aspiration Quality Race 5 – #3 Mare Of Mt Buller (9) 4yo Mare | T: Chris Waller | J: Jason Collett (54kg) Race 6: Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) Kimochi returns after claiming the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) in the spring, and although the 1000m may be short of her best trip, she must be considered one of the major chances in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m). She has never missed the frame first-up across five starts and impressed when saluting fresh in the Group 3 Toy Show Quality (1100m) on August 24. She maps to get a stalking run from barrier five, and with her key rivals lacking consistency, Kimochi gets the verdict in the Challenge Stakes. Selections: 10 KIMOCHI 3 KALLOS 1 MAZU 8 GIVEMETHEBEATBOYS Challenge Stakes Race 6 – #10 Kimochi (5) 4yo Mare | T: Gary Portelli | J: Nash Rawiller (56.5kg) Race 7: Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) The three-year-olds take centre stage in the $1 million Randwick Guineas, where it’s all one-way traffic in betting for the Godolphin colt Broadsiding. The Hobartville winner is all the rage at $1.60, while Swiftfalcon ($4.00) is the best back runner to turn the tables. Can Broadsiding justify the short quote? Or is there an upset brewing in the 2025 Randwick Guineas. Click here for our full preview of the 2025 Randwick Guineas Race 8: Group 1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m) Stefi Magnetica couldn’t have been more impressive last preparation despite failing to record a victory across her four starts. She was luckless in the Golden Eagle (1500m) before taking on the older horses in the Group 1 Champions Mile (1600m) at Flemington on November 9, matching motors with the best middle distance horses Australia has to offer. She returns on the back of two smart barrier trials, and although the 1300m could prove testing first-up from a spell, the $8.00 available with Neds for Stefi Magnetica is too big to ignore in the 2025 Canterbury Stakes. Selections: 11 STEFI MAGNETICA 9 SUNSHINE IN PARIS 1 CEOLWULF 12 SWITZERLAND Canterbury Stakes Race 8 – #11 Stefi Magnetica (7) 4yo Mare | T: Bjorn Baker | J: Zac Lloyd (57kg) Race 9: Listed Randwick City Stakes (2000m) There’s a sense of timing about Kinesiology third-up into the campaign after a much-improved effort at Rosehill on February 22. The European import was doing his best work late after checking off heels at a crucial stage, with the lightly raced four-year-old slowly starting to extend in the final furlong. The extra 100m should be ideal, and provided Zac Lloyd can navigate a spot from stall 14, Kinesiology will prove hard to hold out in the Randwick City Stakes. Selections: 14 KINESIOLOGY 17 ALALCANCE 7 ZECHARIAH 2 ATHABASCAN Next Best Race 9 – #14 Kinesiology (14) 4yo Horse | T: Chris Waller | J: Zac Lloyd (53.5kg) Race 10: Group 3 Wenona Girl Quality (1200m) Clear Thinking produced a gallant runner-up effort at this course and distance in the Group 3 Triscay Stakes (1200m) on February 15 and is unfortunate not to remain undefeated. The Dubawi mare circled the entire field on that occasion and lost no admirers as she rounded them all up bar Inhibitions, with barrier nine of nine proving costly. Zac Lloyd will attempt to find a mid-field position with cover this time around, and provided the breaks fall her way, the $5.00 about Clear Thinking in the Group 3 Wenona Girl Quality (1200m) is a cracking bet to end proceedings on Randwick Guineas Day. Selections: 10 CLEAR THINKING 4 COMMEMORATIVE 2 ARCTIC GLAMOUR 13 OUTBACK MISS Wenona Girl Quality Race 10 – #10 Clear Thinking (9) 5yo Mare | T: Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich | J: Zac Lloyd (53kg) Randwick Guineas Day quaddie tips for Randwick Randwick quadrella selections Saturday, March 8, 2025 1-3-9 1-4-9-10-11-12 2-3-4-7-8-14-17 2-4-10 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article

A talented field has assembled for the 2025 Canterbury Stakes at Randwick, with Grahame Begg‘s mare Magic Time leading the charge. The five-year-old Hellbent mare, fresh off a Group 2 Expressway Stakes victory, is aiming for her second Group 1 success in the $750,000 race.

Godolphin‘s star colt Broadsiding is heavily favoured to add another Group 1 victory to his record in the 2025 Randwick Guineas this Saturday in Sydney.

What All-Star Mile Day 2025 Where Flemington Racecourse – Melbourne, Victoria When Saturday, March 1, 2025 First Race 12:05pm AEDT Visit Dabble The All-Star Mile (1600m) and Newmarket Handicap (1200m) headline one of Melbourne’s premier Group 1 racedays this Saturday at Flemington. Clear skies and a top of 32 degrees are forecast, and with the rail out 5m for the entire circuit, it will be pristine conditions both above and on the ground. The first of 10 races on All-Star Mile Day 2025 commences at 12:05pm AEDT. Race 1: Cirka Plate (1100m) Let’sfacethemusic was sent to Kilmore for an easy kill in a maiden on February 21 and duly saluted. In the spring, the son of I Am Invincible finished on the heels of Band Of Brothers in Group 3 company, and the fact he was still a maiden leading into this campaign was surprising. He stays at 1100m and will likely stalk the speed, and with a strong turn of foot, Let’sfacethemusic should prove too good late. Selections: 1 LET’SFACETHEMUSIC 2 GALLANT SON 5 MYSTIC REIGN 4 MESROUR Race 2: Group 3 Ottawa Stakes (1000m) Elsa Of Arandelle caught the eye when hitting the line strongly on debut at Moonee Valley and shapes as a key contender in the 2025 Ottawa Stakes. The two-year-old filly gave her rivals too big of a start in a small field, but once she hit top gear, the Frosted filly was low-flying inside the final 200m when beaten 2.3 lengths. The Flemington straight should suit her perfectly, and with a similar finish, Elsa Of Arendelle will take a power of beating. Selections: 5 ELSA OF ARENDELLE 4 ENCHANTED BY 1 GIN SPIRIT 7 MILITARY TYCOON Ottawa Stakes Race 2 – #5 Elsa Of Arendelle (2) 2yo Filly | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Damian Lane (56kg) Race 3: Vale Michael Moroney (1100m) Wolfy has not placed in his last three runs, but the Nick Ryan-trained gelding looks to have found the right race to add a fifth career win to his name. There looks to be plenty of speed engaged in this 1100m event, which should set it up for a horse like Wolfy who is more prominent over 1200m and 1400m. Mark Zahra will have him towards the rear of the field, and if they overdo it out in front, Wolfy has a turn of foot that not many of his rivals will be able to match. Selections: 10 WOLFY 12 DON’T HOPE DO 13 MYTEMPTATION 3 MARBLE NINE Race 4: Group 3 Shaftesbury Avenue Handicap (1400m) Despite being off the racing scene since March 2024, the first-up record that Ayrton brings to the Shaftesbury Avenue Handicap is hard to ignore. Having won five of seven first-up runs, the son of Iffraaj clearly fires with freshness in his legs. He will need to overcome Is It Me, who is in red-hot form, but with a couple of trials under his belt leading into this, Ayrton only needs the right run in transit to be featuring in the finish. Selections: 1 AYRTON 10 IS IT ME 4 AZTEC RULER 3 TERRITORY EXPRESS Shaftesbury Avenue Handicap Race 4 – #1 Ayrton (9) 7yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Jamie Melham (58.5kg) Race 5: Group 2 VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) Vinrock could not have done much more when winning stylishly on debut at Pakenham on February 20, leading throughout over 1200m and finishing with plenty left in reserve. The son of I Am Invincible will be suited stepping up to the 1400m for the first time, and with Mark Zahra sticking on as an added bonus, Vinrock looks like the one they have to run down in the 2025 VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes. Selections: 3 VINROCK 1 TYCOON STAR 12 EDEN ROSE 13 STEEL TRAP VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes Race 5 – #3 Vinrock (5) 2yo Colt | T: Matt Laurie | J: Mark Zahra (57kg) Race 6: Australian Cup Prelude (2000m) Duke De Sessa was super when returning from a spell to win the Group 3 JRA Plate (1600m) at Caulfield last month. The 2024 Caulfield Cup winner will step up to the 2000m on Saturday, and despite being a maiden at the trip through nine attempts, the son of Lope De Vega is clearly the class horse in this field. He draws perfectly in barrier one under Harry Coffey, and as he showed when sprinting sharply with 60kg on his back first-up, the 59.5kg should be no issue as Duke De Sessa continues on his winning ways. Selections: 1 DUKE DE SESSA 11 DASHING DUCHESS 6 YOUNG WERTHER 3 MIDDLE EARTH Next Best Race 6 – #1 Duke De Sessa (1) 6yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Harry Coffey (59.5kg) Race 7: Group 1 All-Star Mile (1600m) A small but talented field of seven will duke it out for the $2.5 million on offer in the 2025 All-Star Mile. Mr Brightside is looking to create further history by becoming the first horse to win multiple editions of the race, but the new weight-for-age guns in Another Wil and Tom Kitten are out to spoil the party. Who will reign supreme? Click here for HorseBetting’s preview of the 2025 Group 1 All-Star Mile Race 8: Group 2 Kewney Stakes (1600m) There are no prizes for tipping a $1.80 favourite, but this field simply will not get close to Treasurethe Moment. A similar field could not bring her undone over 1400m on return at Caulfield on February 22, and considering she will only get better as she steps out in trip, it is hard to see the VRC Oaks winner getting beat. Damian Lane will have Treasurethe Moment settled outside the lead throughout, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should be far too good in the 2025 Kewney Stakes.

The four-year-old gelding boasts two wins and a minor placing through three runs at the track, and with three wins and five minor placings from nine starts over 1200m, he clearly looks the wrong price at $19.

The four-year-old mare was one of the better winners during the Melbourne Cup Carnival last year in BM80 company, and considering a few of her rivals have reached their potential, the untapped ability of Alma Rise stands out in a field like this. The Almanzor mare is a push-button runner, and despite 1600m potentially being a bit short for her, the Flemington straight and a genuine tempo will aid her chances in the 2025 Matron Stakes.

Ryan Moore drives Beauty Alliance clear. Champion jockey Ryan Moore crowned a short-term Hong Kong riding stint in style at Happy Valley on Wednesday night, departing with a double which propelled John Size to the top of the 2024/25 trainers’ championship. Moore and Size combined with Golden Rise and Beauty Alliance, leaving Moore with four wins and five placings from 26 rides across a three-meeting cameo, while Size vaulted to the top of the trainers’ standings with 36 wins for the campaign – the same as David Hayes – but with more minor placings. Having struck with a brace at Happy Valley last Wednesday (February 26), Moore endured a frustrating meeting at Sha Tin on Sunday (March 2) with three minor placings from nine rides but the Englishman rebounded in familiar fashion tonight. “I’m very grateful to come here and for all the support I’ve had. I’ve had a few disappointments but that’s Hong Kong, but I’m thankful the support I’ve had here and hopefully I can back soon,” Moore said. “It’s always great to come here and it’s been a good trip.” Moore and Size struck first with Golden Rise’s narrow win over Prime Mortar in the Class 4 Kwoon Chung Macau Limousine Rental Services Handicap (1200m) before Beauty Alliance’s triumph in the Class 4 Kwoon Chung Inclusive & Accessible Service Handicap (1800m). Harry Bentley matched British compatriot Moore’s feat with a brace, striking with Excellence Value and Romantic Son. Bentley’s strength was pivotal to Romantic Son’s success in the Class 3 Kwoon Chung Bus 60th Anniversary Cup Handicap (1200m) as the Hayes-trained gelding emerged with a nose victory over Beauty Infinity to earn a PP Bonus of HK$1.5 million. Mark Newnham’s Excellence Value earned a PP Bonus of HK$1.5 million with victory in the Class 3 Trans-Island Chinalink Handicap (1650m). Formerly known as Diabelli when trained in Australia by James Cummings, the Fastnet Rock gelding was having only his fourth start in Hong Kong. “I think barrier one helped him. He had the fence to follow the whole way and it opened up nicely once he turned in (to the straight) and he did the rest,” Newnham said. “Apart from his first start where he just didn’t really compete at all, each of his runs have been good. He’s a nice, tough, consistent horse and he should have a good future here.” Newnham boosted his tally of wins for the season to 30 when Alexis Badel drove Spicy Gold to victory in the Class 3 New Lantao Bus Handicap (1200m). Hugh Bowman also slotted a double with Sky Vino, who won the Class 4 Sichuan Bipenggou Tourist Attractions Handicap (1650m) for Caspar Fownes, and Manfred Man’s Dragon Four Seas, who led all the way to land the Class 4 KC Smart Mobility Handicap (1200m), posting his second win in Hong Kong. Declan McDonogh notched his first Hong Kong win with Nice Birdie’s success for Danny Shum in the Class 5 Kwoon Chung Motors Handicap (2200m). The 2006 Irish Champion Flat Jockey, McDonogh was elated to add to a career tally of more than 1,200 winners globally. “It was great, I had a lovely run around. I never had to spend a penny,” McDonogh said of the Hong Kong International Sale (HKIS) graduate’s run. “The horse was good and genuine in the finish. “I had the run of the race. I had momentum turning in and I thought he kicked quite well in the straight and he did well to fight off the horse (Super Hong Kong) on the outside. It’s a pleasure to tick another one off the box and have my first winner in Hong Kong. I’m chuffed about that.” Angus Chung posted his first win since suffering a facial fracture in a race fall at Sha Tin on February 9 by piloting Jimmy Ting-trained Harmony N Home to victory in the Class 4 Intercontinental Limousine Handicap (1200m). “It reminded me of how to win a race because the first meeting back (Sunday), I was still a bit nervous and had some memories of the accident,” Chung said. “Hopefully I can keep this feeling from tonight and keep on going.” Winner of last season’s Tony Cruz Award as the leading homegrown jockey, Chung partnered Harmony N Home – another HKIS graduate – to his fifth Hong Kong win and his third course and distance triumph. Hong Kong racing continues at Sha Tin on Sunday. Horse racing news View the full article

Two-year-old colt Kilman (NZ) (Super Seth) made a strong first impression with a debut win at Warwick Farm on Wednesday in the Chase The Dream Handicap (1100m) for trainer Chris Waller. The son of Super Seth settled towards the rear before coming with a well-timed finish under jockey James McDonald to score by just under a length. Purchased for $360,000 at the 2024 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale by Waller Racing and Mulcaster Bloodstock, Kilman races in the colours of owners Neville Morgan and David Devine and had trialled on three occasions prior to his debut. “I have sat on him once before, he’s a good-quality colt, that’s for sure,” McDonald said. “Obviously, these colours have got another good one on their hands. “He’s done a really good job on debut. Guy Mulcaster does a good job selecting for Nev Morgan and Dave Devine and he’s found another good one here.” Bred by Waikato Stud, Kilman is out of Listed winner Thy, who finished fourth in the Gr.1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m), a three-quarter sister to New Zealand Champion Three-Year-Old The Jewel. Thy foaled a colt by Noverre last season and was served by Super Seth again. Emerging young stallion Super Seth has made a terrific start to his stud career, with his son Feroce (NZ) (Super Seth) becoming his first Group One winner when landing the Gr.1 Australian Guineas (1600m) last weekend. Like Feroce and fellow stakes winning son of Super Seth, Super Photon, Kilman is out of an O’Reilly mare, with five winners from 12 runners bred on that cross to date. View the full article

Talented filly Dream Of The Moon got her three-year-old season back on track at Riccarton Park on Wednesday, saluting fresh-up in the Book A Suite For Autumn Racing 65 (1200m). The daughter of All Too Hard has scaled far greater heights than her mid-week assignment, placing in the Gr.2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes (1200m), Listed Canterbury Belle Stakes (1200m) and Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m). After sustaining an injury, Dream Of The Moon was ruled out for the remainder of the spring and summer period, but had indicated she was ready to resume with a commanding performance at the Ashburton trials last month. That confidence was reflected by punters, as she closed an overwhelming $1.80 favourite over handy gallopers Retail Therapy and Our Clarry. The race immediately changed complexion at the jump, with Retail Therapy standing in the gates and taking no part in the contest. Meanwhile, Our Clarry powered up to his usual pace-making position with Dream Of The Moon settling on his outside. The field came right down the outside in the heavy conditions and Michael McNab always looked in control on the filly, asking for an effort at the 200m and she was too strong, kicking clear by a length to Avitus. Dream Of The Moon carried the tangerine silks of Te Akau Racing, and co-trainer Mark Walker was rapt to see her back on raceday after missing an elite-level assignment last November. “It was a really good fresh-up effort to win like that and a lovely ride of Michael’s,” said Walker, who trains in partnership with Sam Bergerson. “Obviously, it was a big disappointment when she was ruled out of the Guineas (Gr.1, 1600m), when she rolled and cut her hind leg, that was just unfortunate. “It was great to see her back and she’ll improve off today’s run, ahead of bigger assignments. It’s important to build the black-type in her CV and we’ll be looking to do that in the upcoming weeks.” Dream Of The Moon has now recorded two victories and four minor placings from nine starts, with her stakes performances boosting her overall earnings over $118,000. Raced by the Te Akau Moon Dreaming Racing Partnership, the filly was a $160,000 purchase by David Ellis at the 2023 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale. Her success completed a race-to-race double for Walker and Bergerson, after Hooray For Harry got his time in the spotlight in the Riccarton Park Function Centre Maiden (1200m), also in the reliable hands of McNab.

Slot holder Daniel Nakhle has a key chance for the locals in Saturday’s $3.5 million NZB Kiwi (1500m), but his focus will also lie much earlier on the card on Champions Day, with his star sprinter Crocetti (NZ) (Zacinto) contesting the Gr.3 Haunui Farm King’s Plate (1200m). The Auckland businessman is the breeder-owner of Zacinto gelding, the Group One-winning three-year-old who earned his stripes at four with an emphatic last-gasp victory over Alabama Lass in the Gr.1 Railway (1200m) on Karaka Millions Night at Ellerslie. Nakhle reflected fondly on that success, particularly after his gelding gained such a reputation earlier on in his career. “It was such an exciting win, a nail-biter,” he said. “It was back to the Crocetti that we saw last season, the team had him absolutely cherry-ripe on the day and Warren (Kennedy, jockey) making the suggestion of putting blinkers on certainly worked the oracle. “He had a pretty easy time of it as a three-year-old and got away with not doing it at 100 percent, so up against the big boys and girls, the blinkers kept him focussed and back in the winner’s circle.” Bypassing the Gr.1 BCD Group Sprint (1400m) last month, Crocetti will return to Ellerslie on Saturday for a re-match with Alabama Lass, the filly currently favoured in the market at $2. “He pulled up very well after the Railway,” Nakhle said. “Danny (Walker) and Arron (Tata, trainers) decided to keep him fresh for his 1200m assignments, so he had a good eight days out in the paddock at Byerley Park and he really enjoyed his break. “He’s relatively fresh, he went to Ellerslie on Monday morning for a gallop and just had a nice easy piece of work with Warren on board. He wasn’t after time, just a pipe-opener for him to keep him up to the mark. He did that very well and looking at him, he was very hard to pull up, so that’s always a good sign. “He’s had a lovely build-up leading into the King’s Plate.” Crocetti is also in line for a lucrative bonus if he can deliver in the $250,000 contest, as a front-runner in the Sport Nation Champion Sprint Series. The son of Zacinto sits on 10 points ahead of race-rivals Sacred Satono and Babylon Berlin (7), and finishing in the first two placings would assure him the $300,000 winning purse. Later on in the afternoon, Nakhle will have a different role to play, this time as a part of the Barneswood/Brady/Nakhle slot holder partnership in the $3.5 million The NZB Kiwi (1500m). In mid-February, the group announced they had selected Penman (NZ) (Contributer) to fill their slot, a decision that has been well-justified as the gelding defeated the older horses at Ellerslie on Avondale Cup Day. Nakhle has enjoyed the experience on offer for slot holders, and has confidence the Stephen Marsh-trained son of Contributer can make his presence felt in the southern hemisphere’s richest three-year-old race. “It’s been really cool, we’ve got a fantastic ownership group within the slot, and everyone is putting their opinion in, each person sees it from a different angle,” he said. “Whether that be sectionals or by eye, but this horse was actually one that we all agreed on and really liked. “It was a pretty easy decision to make after his run two starts ago and that was franked against the older horses a couple of days after we announced him. “The Go Racing team, Matt (Allnutt) and Albert (Bosma), as well as Stephen Marsh and Dylan Johnson have been fantastic to work in with, they are a very professional bunch. As much as you’re backing the horse, you’re also backing the team around him, and we have confidence that we have a horse with a real chance.” In an Australian-dominated market for the NZB Kiwi, Penman is rated a $23 chance, with the Ben, Will, and JD Hayes-trained Evaporate on top at $2.40.

Wexford Stables’ long-held plan for an all-out assault on The NZB Kiwi (1500m) at Ellerslie has come to fruition, with a quartet of in-form contenders to do battle on Saturday. Trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott will be represented by Checkmate (NZ) (Mongolian Khan), Sought After (NZ) (Tivaci), Sethito (NZ) (Super Seth) and Hankee Alpha (NZ) (Proisir) in the inaugural running of the $3.5 million Champions’ Day feature. “It’s certainly been a massive team effort and at the beginning of the season we had a number of three-year-olds that were genetically bred to run only a mile,” Scott said. “With that in mind, we aimed these horses at this race and while you can always make these plans, they don’t always work out quite as well as hoped, but all four of them have had pretty seamless preparations. “They have all been racing well and there are good and genuine reasons why they should perform well and we’re looking forward to it.” When pressed with the obvious question of which may be the stable’s best hope, Scott said it was extremely difficult to split them. “That’s an honest answer too, we genuinely think all four have got strong claims,” he said. “Sought After goes well fresh and while he had a wee setback with a temp, his best runs have been in a fresh state. “We’ve managed to get the work into him, and he will strip a very fit horse at the weekend. “He knows his way around Ellerslie, his form is strong and his sectionals have been very good so if he brings those on Saturday, he’s certainly going to be in it.” Sought After hasn’t raced since he won on the course in January, while Sethito was a last-start winner of the Listed Uncle Remus Stakes (1400m) with Checkmate a fast closing fourth ahead of Hankee Alpha. “Sethito has the form on the board and is such a genuine racehorse while Checkmate is another familiar with Ellerslie and is so consistent and always runs a good race,” Scott said. “We think Hankee Alpha has improved a lot since the Uncle Remus and if she gets a good, clear run at them, then she’ll also go well.” Fellow three-year-old Tristar is third on the ballot for the Kiwi and looms as a strong hope in the Windsor Park Stud 3YO Trophy (1500m). “She has taken good last start benefit from the Uncle Remus where she had absolutely no luck and Craig (Grylls) got off and swore she certainly been in the placings had she had good fortune,” Scott said. “She has trained on well, she’s got a good gate and looks well placed.” Meanwhile, Kelly Coe (NZ) (Proisir) has made all the right moves ahead of the Gr.1 HKJC World Pool New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m). She won the Gr.3 J Swap Sprint (1400m) three runs back before midfield finishes in the Gr.1 Thorndon Mile (1600m) and Listed Fulton Family Stakes (1500m). “Not all went her way when she tripped out of the barrier at Wellington and then raced quite prominently and got collared late,” Scott said. “We might have ridden her a bit upside down in her next race around Ellerslie when close to the speed. She’ll strip a fit mare and the race looks like it will be run at a genuine clip, we believe she can be competitive.” View the full article

The daughter of Winning Rupert had put together a consistent preparation so far, finding the frame in three of her four starts, finally getting the opportunity to add black-type racing to her resume. She was given a perfect steer by Kerrin McEvoy as he landed her in the one-one position throughout the contest, relishing the strong tempo supplied by Byron Belle ($101.00) and Eagle Nest ($13.00) in the early stages. It allowed McEvoy to get the ideal run in transit, while the likes of C’est Magique ($7.00), Wee Nessy ($9.50) and Rainbiel ($7.50) were left chasing a long way from home, unable to cut into the margin as Tintookie bolted clear with the prize. 2023: Jal Lei claims controversial victory Jump The Broom may have finished first past the post; however, with plenty of interference with 100m to go, it was Jal Lei who took out the 2023 Wenona Girl Quality. The leader throughout the 1200m contest, Jump The Broom, veered off his running line under Zac Lloyd and caused significant interference on the originally third placed Tycoon Evie, almost causing Zac Purton to be dislodged. In the process of trying to regain control of his mount, Purton unintentionally caused Jal Lei to swerve off his racing line as well. The race results finished with Jal Lei finishing in first position, Tycoon Evie moving into second, with Jump The Broom demoted into third position. 2022: Last-race Bjorn does it again Bjorn Baker had been making a habit of winning the final race in Sydney and he did it again with Belluci Babe in the 2022 Wenona Girl Quality. Baker’s mare dominated throughout to defeat Tricky Gal by 2.5 lengths with Never Talk ($3.50) closing late another half-neck away. The winner of six races, Belluci Babe had been a model of consistency and thoroughly deserved her Group Three breakthrough after being Group placed on multiple occasions including at her previous start when a narrow second to Expat in the Group 2 Millie Fox Stakes (1300m).

Sethito will be one of Wexford’s four runners in Saturday’s $3.5 million The NZB Kiwi (1500m) at Ellerslie. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Wexford Stables’ long-held plan for an all-out assault on The NZB Kiwi (1500m) at Ellerslie has come to fruition, with a quartet of in-form contenders to do battle on Saturday. Trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott will be represented by Checkmate, Sought After, Sethito and Hankee Alpha in the inaugural running of the $3.5 million Champions’ Day feature. “It’s certainly been a massive team effort and at the beginning of the season we had a number of three-year-olds that were genetically bred to run only a mile,” Scott said. “With that in mind, we aimed these horses at this race and while you can always make these plans, they don’t always work out quite as well as hoped, but all four of them have had pretty seamless preparations. “They have all been racing well and there are good and genuine reasons why they should perform well and we’re looking forward to it.” When pressed with the obvious question of which may be the stable’s best hope, Scott said it was extremely difficult to split them. “That’s an honest answer too, we genuinely think all four have got strong claims,” he said. “Sought After goes well fresh and while he had a wee setback with a temp, his best runs have been in a fresh state. “We’ve managed to get the work into him, and he will strip a very fit horse at the weekend. “He knows his way around Ellerslie, his form is strong and his sectionals have been very good so if he brings those on Saturday, he’s certainly going to be in it.” Sought After hasn’t raced since he won on the course in January, while Sethito was a last-start winner of the Listed Uncle Remus Stakes (1400m) with Checkmate a fast closing fourth ahead of Hankee Alpha. “Sethito has the form on the board and is such a genuine racehorse while Checkmate is another familiar with Ellerslie and is so consistent and always runs a good race,” Scott said. “We think Hankee Alpha has improved a lot since the Uncle Remus and if she gets a good, clear run at them, then she’ll also go well.” Fellow three-year-old Tristar is third on the ballot for the Kiwi and looms as a strong hope in the Windsor Park Stud 3YO Trophy (1500m). “She has taken good last start benefit from the Uncle Remus where she had absolutely no luck and Craig (Grylls) got off and swore she certainly been in the placings had she had good fortune,” Scott said. “She has trained on well, she’s got a good gate and looks well placed.” Meanwhile, Kelly Coe has made all the right moves ahead of the Group 1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m). She won the Group 3 J Swap Sprint (1400m) three runs back before midfield finishes in the Group 1 Thorndon Mile (1600m) and Listed Fulton Family Stakes (1500m). “Not all went her way when she tripped out of the barrier at Wellington and then raced quite prominently and got collared late,” Scott said. “We might have ridden her a bit upside down in her next race around Ellerslie when close to the speed. She’ll strip a fit mare and the race looks like it will be run at a genuine clip, we believe she can be competitive.” Horse racing news View the full article

Pep Torque will return to the races at New Plymouth in Saturday’s The Multi Ethnic – Africa (1600m). Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) Evergreen galloper Pep Torque will return to the races after more than a year off the scene at New Plymouth on Saturday. An 11-year-old by Nadeem, Pep Torque has been an incredibly consistent campaigner for trainer and part-owner Kirsty Lawrence, collecting 10 wins and 24 minor placings, and accumulating more than $328,000 in stakes earnings. He earned a deserved stakes victory when winning the 2022 Listed Fielding Gold Cup (2100m) and had continued that form into the following season, before finishing third in the Wairoa Cup (2100m) last February, where he was galloped on and ruled out for the remainder of his campaign. Lawrence was not hesitant to retire Pep Torque after the injury if his enthusiasm for racing had faded, but the gelding indicated he is still full of running with a strong trial behind Rusty Lane and He’s Lucid at Waipukurau last month. “He got galloped on quite badly in the Wairoa Cup last year and no matter which way we went, he was going become a riding horse at some point,” she said. “He’s been in work for nine months, he’s been rehabbed and then more recently had a jump-out and a trial and been good as gold. He ran a very nice third at the trials over 1200m and showed he still wants to be around. “I think he wants to add his combined age together and thinks he’s two, he’s happy and if you saw him in the paddock, you wouldn’t believe that he’s 11.” Elle Sole partnered Pep Torque in the heat and retains the ride in The Multi Ethnic – Africa (1600m), following in the footsteps of a number of apprentices to ply their trade on the experienced gelding. “Elle will take three kilos off on Saturday, which is a big assist for him,” Lawrence said. “I like to give those three-kilo claimers an opportunity, eight of his wins have been with apprentices on and he’s been an incredible horse for them. Elle came in the other day with a grin from ear-to-ear, having the opportunity to ride a horse like him that just says, wait here kid, I’ve got it. “She works hard and deserves the ride, he’s honest and just a neat horse.” Lawrence is keeping an open mind following Saturday’s assignment, where a number of his connections will make the long journey across to Taranaki in support. “We’ll just tick through those lower-grade Cup races. As long as he stays happy and sound, we’ll keep ticking along,” she said. “The ownership group have been in him since the beginning, they’re all going on Saturday including Diana Newman, all the way from Gisborne. She has dementia and is not very well, so it may be her last raceday, so to have him back is very special for them. “Anything amiss, he’ll be retired, we came all the way through with no illusion that we would if that was the case.” Horse racing news View the full article
