Wandering Eyes

Veteran galloper Our Echo (NZ) (Echoes Of Heaven) showed all his fighting qualities when he clung on gamely to hold out a determined challenge from Perfect Scenario (NZ) (Iffraaj) to capture the feature event at Wingatui, the Gr.3 White Robe Lodge Weight For Age (1600m) Allowed to start at the luxurious price of $31 in the Fixed Odds market for the race, the Danny Frye-prepared eight-year-old had his chances discarded by punters, despite winning two of his previous three starts, due to his finishing last of seven runners on an unsuitable Heavy track at Ashburton six days earlier. That performance proved an aberration as the son of Echoes Of Heaven is at his best when allowed to freewheel in the open spaces during a race and rider Tina Comignaghi achieved that to perfection as she sat on the tail of pacemaker Ears Back (NZ) (Jakkalberry) throughout. Comignaghi asked the old boy for his effort shortly after straightening and he quickly mastered Ears Back and shot clear however Perfect Scenario, who was shooting for his third consecutive victory in the race, was stalking him at that point and angled into the clear to issue a stern challenge. Getting closer with every stride Perfect Scenario put in a giant lunge at the winning post however he came up a nose short as Our Echo lasted to register his ninth and most important career victory. Frye was sporting his normal cheeky grin when questioned about the performance and the road to the race after the horse had won at Trentham back in January. “That was brilliant as we have kept him going through thick and thin and he has fronted up today,” Frye said. “We were keen on starting in the Hazlett Stakes (Listed, 1400m) here after Trentham but through circumstances we ended up scratching which was a big call. “We then went to Ashburton which was a bit of a misnomer as he is a big horse that we didn’t think would get through the heavy ground, but he had to have a run to get ready for today. “We got it right and nailed it. “I left things totally up to Tina as I was happy if he could get a sit but she was quite keen to be on the speed and she reads the races well and just loves the horse. “Any race win is really cool but when it is a big race the anxiety builds up, but you just have to enjoy it.” Trained at Balcairn by Frye, who shares ownership with eight others, Our Echo has recorded nine wins and 15 placings from his 47 starts and has accumulated over $406,000 in prizemoney.

Four weeks on from a brave second in the Gore Cup (2000m), lion-hearted stayer Loftys Gift (NZ) (Ghibellines) delivered again for her connections at Wingatui on Saturday and went one better in the Listed Positive Signs + Print Dunedin Gold Cup (2400m). The gritty daughter of Ghibellines was a winner over 1400m at Ascot Park in late January, then stepped up to 2000m for the Gore Cup and was beaten by only half a length despite being caught three wide without cover for the second half of the race. The step up to 2400m on Saturday was ideal for Loftys Gift, who had won four times from 10 previous attempts over distances ranging from 2200m to 2400m. But despite her form and stamina credentials, the six-year-old jumped as a $16 outsider among an even line-up for Saturday’s $170,000 staying feature. Loftys Gift began to look like even more of a longshot in the early part of the race, finding herself caught three wide again as the field turned out of the home straight. But when the pace began to come out of the race, jockey Samantha Wynne took the initiative and let Loftys Gift roll forward. She slid up into second behind the front-running Taimate Diva (NZ) (Telperion), then quickened again to take a clear lead before the home turn. Rival jockeys might have expected those efforts to take a toll on Loftys Gift in the home straight, but they never did. She pinned her ears back and kept finding, staying out of reach for the late-finishing Smooth Operator (NZ) (Turn Me Loose) and winning by a length and three-quarters. “We were three wide, but we did have cover,” Wynne said. “When they put the brakes on, I took it on myself to go up and sit outside the leader so we’d be in with a chance. “This mare was prepared spot-on for this race today, and her performance has showed that she’s a true stayer. “I was very confident coming into the straight. She was still finding and seemed to be enjoying her work. She stayed every bit of the trip today and felt like she would have gone even further.” Loftys Gift has now had 32 starts for eight wins and five placings, earning $233,590 for owners Markwood Lodge and the Knot Enough Syndicate. Loftys Gift was bred in Otago by White Robe Lodge’s Anderton family, but began her career in the North Island with two wins for Cambridge trainers Shaune Ritchie and Colm Murray. She is now back in the island of her birth and racing in career-best form for Ascot Park trainer Robert Dennis. “When I was watching the race, I wasn’t sure the mid-race move was the right thing to do,” Dennis admitted. “But she was too tough and she’s a serious stayer. She’s proved that today. “We were pretty confident coming into this race. We couldn’t understand why she was so long in the market. She was very good in both of those last two starts, and she proved last season that she’s a high-quality stayer. She’s done it again today.” Loftys Gift now has 8 points in the Southern Cups Bonus Series, which comprises the Gore Cup, Invercargill Cup (2600m), Dunedin Gold Cup, Wyndham Cup (2000m) and next month’s Riverton Cup (2147m). The series carries a $50,000 winner-take-all bonus for the connections of the horse with the most points at the conclusion of the series. “That’s a great series, but a Listed win and $170,000 race today is pretty bloody good in its own right,” Dennis said. “We’ll enjoy this win for now, see how the mare comes through the race and then make a plan. “There’s some great owners in this horse. The Matijasevich family at Markwood Lodge race horses all around the country with a lot of different trainers and deserve every success they get, and they race this horse alongside a fantastic syndicate.” View the full article

Within The Law winning the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Bjorn Baker and Jason Collett have combined with Within The Law ($5.50) to claim a barnstorming victory in the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon. The daughter of Lucky Vega had to do it the hard way on Saturday, with the two-year-old filly forced to pass them all from the rear of the field after suffering a severe check at the start. Collet was happy to bide his time at the rear of the field, while the well-supported favourite with horse racing bookmakers Bellazaine ($3.60) pressed forward to set a moderate tempo throughout the 1200m journey. Wootton Lass ($13.00) showed plenty of early speed on debut to hold a position towards the front, while the likes of Snitzel Miss ($4.80), Memo ($5.00) and Price Tag ($9.50) were happy to find cover in the early stages. Bellazaine looked to give them the slip turning for home, putting three lengths on her rivals as Tim Clark asked for the ultimate effort. Within The Law was the only one making significant inroads late and appeared to be leaving her run too late as she powered down the centre of the course; however, she was able to get the head down where it matters most to claim her third win at start four. Click here for Randwick race replays. Racing manager Luke Hilton was on course to speak on behalf of the Bjorn Baker barn post-race. “That was phenomenal,” said Hilton. “In the run nothing went right. She couldn’t have got any further off the track and to just see her keep coming, I still didn’t think she was going to get there halfway down the straight. “She’s been like this the whole time through, she’s got so much heart and she doesn’t know how to run a bad race. “Definitely exciting for her, she’s a really lovely filly. And to put her hand up today and get a run in the Slipper, before today she had zero prizemoney (for the Slipper) unfortunately, but she goes there as a live chance.” Jason Collett was elated with the win and spoke to the adversity Within The Law was forced to overcome. “I got squeezed pretty heavily from the gate,” said Collett. “I had no forward momentum whatsoever, I was wide. I sort of got the back of Snitzel Miss and then I was working on the turn and wanted to get going and get her into it a bit earlier today than last start and I was able to achieve that, but until I saw Gai’s runner I thought ‘I might have a bit too much work to do here’. “She’s just raw and she keeps raising the bar every time. It was restricted company the last three starts but just the way she keeps attacking the line, you’ve got to love that about her. “I was wide and never really where I wanted to be but I knew I needed to be there to give her that chance. I knew she would be strong late. “I wanted to get her going a bit earlier today than last start and make sure she was strong late. She was strong late but she probably didn’t get to see the Gai runner (Bellazaine) until the last bit which was just about too late.” Within The Law is now a $11.00 chance with Neds for the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) on March 22.

Loose Sally winning Saturday’s Listed Dunedin Guineas (1600m) at Wingatui. Photo: Taylor Stong Local filly Loose Sally put aside the disappointment of missing a start in the Listed Southland Guineas (1400m) a fortnight ago when refusing to load into the starting gates, by coming from the tail of the field to upset the favoured runners in Saturday’s Listed Dunedin Guineas (1600m). The Shankar Muniandy-prepared daughter of Turn Me Loose had demonstrated she has a lethal finishing burst when winning on debut over 1200m on a heavy surface at her home track at Wingatui back in November. Muniandy had given the filly a short break after she finished third behind boom southern filly Pivotal Ten in the Listed NZB Insurance Stakes (1400m) on Boxing Day with the Southland Guineas scheduled as her first run back. That plan turned to custard but Muniandy soldiered on and got a just reward on Saturday with a thrilling victory. Ridden by Muniandy’s jockey brother Ruvanesh, Loose Sally loaded away confidently into a midfield barrier but was eased to find her feet in the early rush after jumping away nicely. Allowed to slide forward out wider approaching the home bend, Loose Sally was the widest entering the home straight and quickly pounced on the leaders to burst clear before easing away for a two and a half length victory over Airpark Hustler and Freddie Time. Shankar Muniandy, who rode 237 winners during his time in the saddle, was gunning for a second successive win in the race after preparing Collect Your Cash to take out the 2024 running and was delighted to achieve that feat. “It is a massive thrill to go back-to- back and win again as she is not a very easy horse to prepare,” Muniandy said. “She missed a run last time and I was a little concerned about lining up her but she is fit and they are only three (years old) once. “She does have good ability and she proved that today. “The speed was on early and the boy did a great job as he knows the horse well having done a lot of work on her. “He knew what to do which was to get back, not pull out too early and get some cover which was good as she is a big filly and needs some room. “When he pushed the button she just grew another leg.” Ruvanesh Muniandy was also thrilled and quite emotional with collecting his first black type victory aboard a horse prepared by his brother. “She jumped ok but the pace was good and she travelled well,” he said. “I knew she would run home as she has a good finish and she was very well. “I’m just so happy I could ride my first Listed winner and to do it for my brother.” Raced by Ray Chalklin, Loose Sally is out of the race-winning mare Sally’s Mustang and has won two of her four starts and over $121,000 in prizemoney.

Doddle winning the Matamata Function Centre (2000m) on Saturday. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Versatile mare Doddle made up for a luckless run in Listed company at her last start when she produced a strong staying performance to take out the Matamata Function Centre (2000m) on Saturday. The Stephen Marsh-trained five-year-old had dropped out to finish last at the venue when competing in the Listed Kaimai Stakes (2000m) a fortnight earlier, but showed she had taken no ill-effects from the run as she bounced back to the form that has seen her competitive throughout her current campaign. Rider Tegan Newman eased the daughter of Dundeel to the rear of the field from a wide draw and was content to have her lobbing along in a good rhythm as local galloper Giacomo set up a strong pace out in front. Newman carefully picked a path against the inner approaching the home turn then angled Doddle out three wide in a yawning gap as most of the field fanned wide rounding the bend. Doddle let down strongly and joined Giacomo at the 100m before edging clear to win by a neck from the gallant pacemaker, while another local runner in Ess Vee Are made up good ground out wide to take third. Part-owner Jim Bruford, who purchased the mare for $20,000 out of the JK Farm draft during the Book 1 National Yearling sale at Karaka in 2021 was thrilled with the victory. “She was a bit of a bargain buy as she was a November foal and was a touch underdeveloped at the time,” Bruford said. “My good friend Chris Griffin, who sadly passed away about nine months ago, had asked me to buy him a nice filly so when I got this one I said to him we had better go halves in her. “We had raced a number of horses over the years and this one has proven to be a very good decision. “She was never going to make a two-year-old type and even at three she was still quite immature, but Stephen has handled her very patiently and we are now seeing the benefit of that.” Bruford was also quick to heap praise aboard Newman for her effort in the saddle. “Tegan gets on really well with the mare and I thought her ride today was top class,” he said. “It was the same when she won the Taupo Cup on her three starts back and the mare did have an excuse last time as when she ran second at Tauranga she cut her tongue quite badly, so last time out here the race was run upside down, she got pulling and reefing and nothing went her way. “Today Tegan had her in a nice rhythm and she delivered like we hoped she would. “I’m not sure what Stephen has in store for her next but the goal is to get her some black type so that is where we will be looking in the autumn.” The victory by Doddle was the 56th for the season for Marsh who has had his runners firing on all cylinders in recent months including El Vencedor who will be looking for his third Group 1 victory in succession when he contests the Group 1 Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes (2000m) at Ellerslie next Saturday. Doddle is the first foal of race-winning Redoute’s Choice mare Into The Groove with her granddam A Material Girl a half-sister to quadruple Australian Group 1 winner Divine Madonna. She has now won five of her 25 starts and over $199,000 in prizemoney. Horse racing news View the full article

Rivellino and Jason Collett after winning the Group 2 Skyline Stakes. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Rivellino has backed up his Inglis Milennium victory with an impressive win in the Group 2 Skyline Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday afternoon. Although the Kris Lees-trained colt was yet to taste defeat, the son of Too Darn Hot was sent out as a +450 third favourite with BlondeBet, sitting behind Shaggy (+140) and Comedy (+320) in the market. Valedictorian (+4000) and Shaggy led the field throughout the 1200m journey; however, the rougher of the two leaders gave a strong kick turning for home when the race favourite struggled to find at the 400m mark. Jason Collett had a good hold on the eventual winner as they peeled off heels to make their run, while Quietly Arrogant (+650) and Skyhook (+850) switched back to the inside to finish off. Going past the 200m mark, Rivellino still had to make up a length on Valedictorian, but with Collett throwing everything at his colt, he quickly took over by the 100m pole. Quietly Arrogant and Skyhook continued to charge through along the inside rail, but it was to no avail, as Rivellino held onto claim victory by a head on the line. Click here for Randwick race replays. Kris Lees spoke about the victory post-race. “Yeah, really happy with him. They didn’t go that hard but Jason summed it up, he let him stride up into a three-deep line with cover,” Lees said. “I just stressed to him to get cover in the race, as much as we wanted to win today I didn’t want him having a tough run facing the breeze, but he let down really well. “It was a bunched finish but he’s a smart colt and he’ll make his presence felt come three weeks’ time. “He’s a proper horse, this bloke. “We look forward to getting there (to the Golden Slipper). He’s pretty versatile and I think on a really hot speed you’ll see a better product again. “But he was good today. He got a lovely ride from Jason to let him stride up into a three-deep line and that was a winning move off what, without looking at the times, looked a pretty even type of race on times. But he let down really well. “He let him stride into the race at the right time and that was the winning move but he fought off a few late. It was a good effort.” Jason Collett echoed similar thoughts to Lees, stating that Rivellino is a classy colt in the making. “It probably played out nicely once Hillier gave me that cover and a drag into it. So I was close enough. He’s sharp,” Collett said. “When he let go, he put them away easily. If anything he probably floated a bit once he was in front, but I was pretty impressed. “We were always going to concede we were going to be back there. We didn’t want to risk not having cover and not seeing out the 1200m strongly. “It’s not our job to be chasing Shaggy if he was to get a soft lead, which I think everyone probably predicted. We just wanted to make sure our horse did things right, and luckily it played out into our hands. “He was very unassuming going to the start, very casual, but once the gates opened he’s sharp. “Kris was a bit worried if we didn’t get cover he could fall in a hole so we were pretty neutral early, knowing we were going to give a lead to Shaggy who looked to get it pretty easy.” “You know what, if he had a gate he can hold a spot. He does have barrier speed, he’s got race sense. He’s a pretty good package.” Rivellino is rated a +1400 chance with horse racing bookmakers in the Group 1 Golden Slipper futures markets.

California-based trainer Mark Glatt is among the Washington Racing Hall of Fame inductees for 2025, according to a release from Emerald Downs Friday. Glatt, son of Washington trainer Ron Glatt, grew up not far from Emerald Downs and has found particular success at Santa Anita, where he is currently leading the trainer standings. Grade I winners conditioned by Glatt have included Dr. Schivel (Violence) and Collusion Illusion (Twirling Candy). Other members of the 2025 class of Washington's Hall of Fame include breeders Ron and Nina Hagen, whose El Dorado Farms have been named as Washington's leading breeder eight times; owner Paskey Dedomenico, whose contributions to Washington racing included a 20-year period where he bought more horses than any other buyer in the state, including three sales toppers, and farmed them out to numerous trainers; and Howard Belvoir's Wasserman (Cahill Road), the 2008 Longacres Mile winner and one of the state's most popular horses, who retired in 2013 as Emerald Downs's all-time leading earner with $575,024. The induction ceremony–the 20th annual Washington Hall of Fame ceremony held at Emerald Downs–will be held Saturday, Aug. 16, the eve of the 90th renewal of the $125,000 Longacres Mile.

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk Chanelle Dickie is in for a busy week. Well-known in Canterbury equestrian and re-homing circles, as well as being a HERO Educator and Ambassador, “The Pink Lady” is driving to the Horse of the Year (HOY) at Hastings with three Standardbreds ahead of their competition next Thursday. “We’ll be all done in one day – it’s full on.” HOY is by far the country’s biggest and most prestigious equestrian event spanning six days of competition and featuring around 1400 riders in a variety of different disciplines. Dickie’s trio – Eagles Nest, You Can Fly Arden and Does It On His Ear – will all be in the Inhand Standardbred category, with Eagles Nest and You Can Fly Arden also in the Ridden. Eagles Nest is the reigning Inhand Standardbred of the Year, having won the title for Julie DeFilippi and her family at HOY last year. “The DeFilippis very generously gave me “Louie”, as we call him, six weeks ago and I’ve been flat out trying to re-educate him to saddle.” “He had only been ridden a handful of times before I got him.” “He’s a work in progress, he’s very green and is learning the ropes. He’s not a winning chance but he won’t embarrass himself.” “And he could go back to back in the Inhand.” In the Inhand last year Dickie’s own horse, HERO graduate and Ambassador, You Can Fly Arden was second to Eagles Nest. “Fly is great, she’s the team captain.” Dickie is confident of her chances in both sections although she’s wary of another Canterbury HERO Educator and visitor, Taylah Dolan, and her horse Michelangelo in the Ridden. “My money would be on her,” says Dickie. Does It On His Ear meanwhile will only be in the Inhand. “He’s no good at cantering,” says Dickie, “but he could go very well.” Dickie expects around 10 standardbreds in both categories. Her last success was with Bronze Jay in the ridden standardbred section of HOY in 2016. She then took a break away from the sport, until last year. She’s also been successful in barrel racing on the rodeo circuit. Wearing her trademark pink outfits at most events- she’s hard to miss. She runs her own equestrian facility which offers horse grazing, full agistment and arena hire at Selwyn, just outside Christchurch. Last year she was a joint winner of the Care and Welfare Award at the first ever Entain Industry Excellence Awards. The award recognised in part the role she’s had in re-homing horses. She has re-educated and re-homed dozens of standardbreds and is a crucial part of HRNZ’s HERO programme (HERO stands for Harness Education and Rehoming Opportunities). While HOY promises to be a “crazy” time Dickie will get home only to head off again with another truckload of horses to a rodeo in Fairlie in South Canterbury. “Why do I do it to myself?” View the full article

The Jockeys' Guild on Friday issued a statement defending jockey Luan Machado one day after news broke that the 10-year veteran rider was being sued in a Kentucky court by the owner and breeder of a horse he rode at Churchill Downs in November who lost by a neck but likely would have won if Machado hadn't prematurely geared him down with a 2 1/2-length lead inside the eighth pole. The Guild's press release Feb. 28 stated that the allegations asserted against Machado “are utterly baseless.” The Guild's statement continued: “They are also dangerous. The Kentucky legislature has entrusted the stewards of the Kentucky Horse Racing & Gaming Corporation with responsibility for determining if there has been a violation of the racing rules. The stewards made such a determination here and imposed a fine and suspension on Mr. Machado, which he paid and has served. There is absolutely no basis for private parties to try to undermine the stewards' statutorily-entrusted decision by supplanting it with their own judgment as to what the appropriate penalty should be.” As reported Feb. 27 by Ray Paulick of the Paulick Report, “A complaint filed in Jefferson Circuit Court by Gray V Train Racing and Westbrook Stables, the respective owner and breeder of Hold My Bourbon (Anchor Down), alleges Machado breached his contract and showed negligence as a licensed professional jockey by failing to ride Hold My Bourbon to the finish line 'with full effort' in the Nov. 28 allowance race.” Shortly after the incident, Churchill Downs stewards suspended Machado four days and fined him $1,000 for “easing up on his mount approaching the finish without adequate cause.” The gaffe stood at the time because just six weeks earlier, Machado had been suspended for three days and fined $2,500 for easing up at the alternate sixteenth-pole finish wire at Keeneland Race Course, costing his mount, who had been clear by open lengths in that Oct. 16 race, a near-certain victory. The Paulick Report story stated that the plaintiffs (Angela Lewis, the registered agent for Gray V Train Racing, and Todd and Angela Lewis, the registered agents for Westbrook Stables) are alleging “professional negligence” because Machado purportedly “failed to perform according to the expectations of his profession.” According to the Paulick Report, “The plaintiffs say Machado's actions cost them $47,560 in lost purse money and $3,000 in Kentucky Thoroughbred Breeders Incentive Funds,” using the difference between first- and second-place purse winnings as the basis. The Paulick Report stated that the plaintiffs are further alleging that they have “suffered unliquidated damages” and other “consequential damages.” Efforts to reach Machado for comment prior to deadline for this story were not successful.

Horse Racing Nation and writer Ron Flatter is reporting that GI Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike (Keen Ice) has been sold to a group that includes, among others, former trainer Eric Reed. Reed and former owner Rick Dawson had a falling out over the rights to a movie about Rich Strike, Reed and his father. Dawson fired Reed and gave the horse to Bill Mott, who was unable to get him back to the races. “I'm happy,” Reed told Horse Racing Nation. “I had to write off ever even putting my eyes on him, really. We might not have him for running, but if he turns out to be a good enough sire, we'll always be proud of him.” According to the report, the group is led by owner Ken Tyson, who plans to move Rich Strike out of Pennsylvania and stand him in New York. A farm was not named in the Horse Racing Nation report, but a stud fee of $6,500 was. “Going to New York, I don't think he could compete with the Kentucky (sires) right off the bat,” Tyson told Flatter. “He could have two years ago when he finished the Derby. With the delay, too many big guys have come in since then, so I think New York is the best place to go right now.” The post Report: Rich Strike Sold to Ownership Group that Includes Former Trainer Reed appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

'TDN Rising Star' Ferocious (Flatter), second in both the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity and the GI Hopeful Stakes last year, reportedly has a muscle tear and has been removed from consideration for the May 3 GI Kentucky Derby. Trainer Gustavo Delgado's son, Gustavo Delgado, Jr., told the Daily Racing Form that while the injury was minor, it would require time to heal.

A $1.3-million OBS 2-year-old, Ferocious had reportedly been targeting the Mar. 29 GI Florida Derby.
