Godolphin continued their run of big-money purchases during Wednesday's session at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale when parting with 1,500,000gns for Croom House Stud's Too Darn Hot (GB) colt out of the winning Galileo (Ire) mare Knocknagree (Ire). Anthony Stroud struck the winning bid on behalf of Godolphin, who have now bought seven lots on the day for a total of 7,550,000gns. Lot 236 is a half-brother to the Grade 2-placed Idea Generation (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), while Knocknagree is herself a half-sister to the G1 Phoenix Stakes winner and sire Zoffany (Ire) among others.

At 76 and with none of his children particularly interested in racing, Stuart Janney, III had to make some decisions about the future of his racing and breeding operations. He didn't want to get out of the sport entirely and he also didn't want to breed mares whose foals won't get to the races for years. So he has decided to disperse his band at the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. There, he will sell 13 broodmares and two broodmare prospects. Among others, they are in foal to Good Magic, Life Is Good and Not This Time. The consignor will be Claiborne Farm. What's left will be his weanlings, yearlings and horses of racing age. He estimates that his holdings will consist of about 35 horses. “I never considered leaving the sport,” he said. “This seemed to make the most sense. I asked the kids and asked if any one of them wanted to take this on. Their answer was no and it didn't surprise me. So I thought this made a lot of sense. I'll be just as involved with the racetrack for the next three or four years and maybe longer.” Both sides of Janney's family have been involved with the sport since the 1920s. His mother and father, Stuart and Barbara Janney, owned and bred the ill-fated Ruffian. Janney does not shop at the sales. Rather, he breeds to race, which he said, makes him a “dinosaur.” “Things have changed,” he said. “When I started out 30% of horses or so went to the sales. Not anymore. I'm probably a little too old to change. “I think what I'm doing makes the most sense,” he continued. “This is the part of the business that has been the toughest– breed to race. It's tougher to breed than sell. Depending on whether you're good at it or not, it's tougher than if you were picking them at the sales. Not too many people have done it like I did it. I really enjoy all the aspects of doing it the way I did it. I enjoyed figuring out the matings and I enjoyed the fact that I've seen successive generations of horses at the racetrack. I think [trainer] Shug [McGaughey] enjoyed that too, seeing their characteristics play out in future generations and getting excited about the foals.” A dinosaur or not, he said he's always been comfortable with the way he approached the sport. “I've always enjoyed that,” he said. “If you're breeding to race, every season is different. It's arranging the matings. It's seeing horses at various stages of their careers, seeing the new foals arrive. All the things that aren't part of your life if you are buying horses at the sale. Seeing successive generations of horses perform. Those kinds of things I will miss. On the other hand, life goes on. “I've thought about this for a long time. There's a lot of emotion involved. I'm comfortable that I'm doing the right thing.” In his role as Chairman of the Jockey Club, Janney has sometimes expressed his displeasure with how the sport was run. With HISA up and running–which the Jockey Club supported–he says he feels better about the game now than he has in some time. “I'm less frustrated now,” he said. “If you had asked me back in 2012, I would have told you that I had a very dim view of what the racing commissions were doing. I didn't know that we'd get to where we are today. I feel pretty good about the safety aspect and the integrity aspect. The industry has a lot of challenges, what I call the financial aspects. It's really expensive to put on the show. It's really expensive to have good safety and good integrity. We have accomplished a lot and are in better shape to accomplish more because people are getting along better. Different entities are getting along with each other better than they have. I am less frustrated now than I was 10 years ago.” The post Stuart Janney Cutting Back, Not Getting Out appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

With a Dubawi (Ire) yearling filly out of his half-sister Lady Bowthorpe (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) due through Tattersalls' Park Paddocks ring within the hour, Ralph Beckett trainee Arctic Voyage (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Maglietta Fina {Ire}, by Verglas {Ire}) picked the perfect moment to update his family's catalogue page with an impressive 6 1/2-length tally in Wednesday's Fireworks Tickets On Sale Now EBF Novice Stakes at Nottingham. The hot streak of @RalphBeckett continues Wide-margin @NottsRacecourse winner Arctic Voyage makes it four winners from the last seven runners to come out of Beckett's Kimpton base. pic.twitter.com/XMan2RRwhL — Racing TV (@RacingTV) October 9, 2024 2nd-Nottingham, £6,899, Nov, 10-9, 2yo, 6f 18yT, 1:18.04, hy. ARCTIC VOYAGE (GB) (c, 2, Kingman {GB}–Maglietta Fina {Ire}, by Verglas {Ire}), who hit the board tackling seven furlongs at Newbury in his Sept. 21 debut last time, was well away to race in a prominent third through halfway here. Shaken up to gain control with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining, the 3-1 second favourite was not for catching thereafter and extended clear inside the final furlong to easily account for Curzon (GB) (Advertise {GB}) by an impressive 6 1/2 lengths. Arctic Voyage is the seventh of eight foals and fourth scorer produced by a multiple-winning half-sister to multiple Group-winning G1 Lockinge Stakes runner-up Tullius (Ire) (Le Vie Dei Colori {GB}). The April-foaled grey is a half-brother to G1 Nassau Stakes heroine Lady Bowthorpe (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), multiple Group-winning G2 Greenlands Stakes victor Speak In Colours (GB) (Excelebration {Ire}), Listed Cooley Stakes third Pretty In Grey (GB) (Brazen Beau {Aus}) and a yearling colt by Frankel (GB).

Having finished second in last year’s Toorak Handicap, trainer Tony Gollan is looking to go one better with Antino (NZ) (Redwood) on Saturday. A slight alteration to the campaign of Antino is what trainer Tony Gollan is banking on turning around the fortunes of the gelding at Group 1 level. Antino finished second in the Toorak Handicap (1600m) at Caulfield last year and returns 12 months later, with 1kg more, looking to go one better. The gelding went into last year’s Toorak at his third run after a Winter campaign in Brisbane while this time around he will be fourth-up. Gollan believes that extra run will give him an edge on Saturday while conceding Saturday’s race will not be a walk in the park. But the trainer believes Antino is in career best form after the gelding finished a 2-¼ length third to Pride Of Jenni and Mr Brightside in the Group 2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on September 27. That followed his 4-¾ length third to that same pair in the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington two weeks earlier. “The other night was just what I wanted to see from him going into the Toorak,” Gollan said of the gelding’s Feehan Stakes performance. “He got to the race third-up last year and he probably just peaked a touch before the line, and got beaten, so I really wanted to get him there on his fourth run in this time. “Everything I saw in the Feehan is what I wanted to see for Saturday, and now it’s just going to be a matter of if he’s good enough, I suppose.” While the Feehan was a small field of only four runners, Gollan said Antino appreciated the solid tempo that Pride Of Jenni provided. Gollan is again hoping for a solid tempo in Saturday’s Group 1 handicap that has attracted a field of 13 runners in which Antino will jump from barrier eight. “He does not seem to mind racing against Pride Of Jenni,” Gollan said. “He travels on the bridle when she’s out doing her thing, so he does not mind that sort of pressure. “His sectionals were great the other night and there’s no reason why he couldn’t take that form or a touch better to Saturday. “And you know what Group 1 handicaps are like, you just need the luck on the day, so ideally, you’d like something to set a nice tempo, and very rarely do they run slowly in Group 1 handicaps.” While Gollan has not laid eyes on Antino since the Feehan Stakes placing, he has been kept up to date with videos of the gelding from Baylee Nothdurft. “He’s as fit as what he needs to be and it’s just a matter of everything going well for the next few days,” Gollan said.

It wouldn’t quite rate alongside Mick Price’s most stunning Caulfield Guineas upset, but he suspects Public Attention (NZ) (Written Tycoon) will live up to his name in Saturday’s $3 million classic. Public Attention is one of numerous three-year-olds who are in the sizeable Guineas shadow cast by odds-on favourite Broadsiding, but Price has faced similar odds in the classic, when 100-1 chance Mighty Boss thwarted the Godolphin charge of hot favourite Kementari in 2017. “Broadsiding is second-up and he’s got to go interstate and there have been a few go by the wayside in recent weeks,” Price said. “John O’Shea’s horse (Linebacker) has been gelded and he’s out and Storm Boy is going back to sprinting, so from a month ago to what it is now, it is a little bit more open bar one.” Public Attention has raced just three times and was last start nosed out in the Caulfield Guineas Prelude by the smart Clinton McDonald-trained Angel Capital. “He’s not had a lot of luck in his races and his form is OK,” Price said. “He ran super the other day behind Clinton’s horse (Angel Capital). “He stuck on good twice with no cover. There was his first start and then the other day, so he’s shown some stamina to tough it out. “He’s ready to go, I can’t do any more with him, he’s spot on.” “He doesn’t have much luck in races that horse and I did say to Ethan Brown, I said, ‘Boy, you’re due, you’re due to give me a good ride’. “It’s a Caulfield Guineas and if we just get the nice run in the race, he’ll be in the finish.” Public Attention is at $21 in Sportsbet’s market. Price and Michael Kent Jnr will also saddle up classy mare Charm Stone in the G3 Northwood Plume Stakes, which will be her first run since last year’s Golden Rose Stakes in Sydney. Charm Stone has had two jumpouts and an official trial ahead of her comeback run this weekend. “I don’t think I can get her to improve without racing her,” Price said. “I’d be surprised if she all of a sudden came out and attacked the line and won but I need to get her racing, get her up there and get her adrenalised and get her back in the groove of things, so she might be a bit rusty first-up but as long as she runs well and I can see some improvement in her, that’d be good.” View the full article

Ralph Beckett has been selected by Amo Racing to train the 4.4 million gns Frankel (GB) filly who topped the opening Book 1 session of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, as reported by the Nick Luck Daily podcast. Fresh from sending out the Juddmonte-owned Bluestocking (GB) (Camelot {GB}) to win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on Sunday, Beckett described himself as delighted to be taking charge of the Book 1 showstopper on behalf of Kia Joorabchian's Amo Racing operation. He said, “She's a lovely filly and we're delighted to have her. Kia and I know each other pretty well at this stage and we are looking forward to training this filly on behalf of him.” Offered by breeders Newsells Park Stud, the Frankel filly is the second foal out of the G2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes winner Aljazzi (GB) (Shamardal) who won five of her 16 starts for Marco Botti, with her other victories including the G3 Atalanta Stakes. She spearheaded a £12.6m spending spree by Joorabchian alongside various other partners. Indeed, it is not the first big-money Amo-owned purchase to have joined Beckett's ranks, with the trainer also managing the career of Angelo Buonarroti (Justify), who was bought by Alex Elliott on behalf of the operation for €1 million at the Arqana Breeze-Up Sale in May.

Leading jumps stallion Saint des Saints (Fr) has been pensioned from stud duties, it was announced on Wednesday. A Grade 1-placed hurdler for Guillaume Macaire, Saint des Saints has divided his time between Haras d'Etreham and Haras de la Tuilerie since retiring to stud ahead of the 2003 breeding season. He produced the high-class staying chaser Quito De La Roque (Fr) from his very first crop, while he was represented by two top-level winners during the latest season in the shape of Fastorslow (Fr), successful in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase and the Punchestown Gold Cup, and Protektorat (Fr), who won the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Altogether Saint des Saints has sired 17 Grade 1 winners over jumps. “We had noted the growing interest for the British and Irish for French sires and their progeny, and were on the lookout for a serious jumps prospect,” said Etreham's Franck Champion. “Saint des Saints, who was in training at the time with Monsieur Macaire for owners Jacques Détré and Nicolas de Lageneste, presented a very attractive profile. As a son of top jumps sire Cadoudal and out of a Group winner on the Flat, adding class and speed, his cross appeared ideal. That was over 20 years ago! Saint des Saints became a great sire and will always be an influential factor in pedigrees.” The post Saint Des Saints Retired from Stud Duties, Sire of Fastorslow and Protektorat appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Delta Blues (Jpn), who made history by becoming the first Japanese horse to win the Melbourne Cup, has died at the age of 24. Old Friends Japan, where the gelding had lived out his later years of retirement, announced on Wednesday that he had “died due to complications from laminitis”. The Northern Farm-bred son of Dance In The Dark (Jpn) was trained by Katsuhiko Sumii and landed his first major win in his home country in the G1 Kikuka Sho (Japanese St Leger) of 2004. He was also third behind Zenno Rob Roy (Jpn) that year in the G1 Japan Cup. It was as a five-year-old that he left Japan for the first time and, in his first start in Australia, he was third in the G1 Caulfield Cup in what transpired to be the perfect prep for the 'race that stops a nation'. The 2006 Melbourne Cup proved to be a banner renewal for Japan, with Delta Blues being chased right to the wire by his stable-mate Pop Rock (Jpn), who finished second by a short-head. The pair had drawn more than four lengths clear of the remainder of the 23-strong field. Delta Blues remains the only Japanese-trained horse to have won Australia's great staying race, though Admire Rakti (Jpn) has subsequently landed the 2014 Caulfield Cup, and Lys Gracieux (Jpn) won the G1 Cox Plate of 2019.

An influx of two and three-year-olds has prompted a re-jig of races at both Addington Raceway on Friday and Oamaru on Sunday. “We had a total of 72 two-year-old pacers and trotters nominated in the South Island this week,” says Harness Racing New Zealand’s new Head of Racing and Wagering Matt Peden, “demand has essentially exceeded supply.” “But it’s a great problem to have.” To accommodate the numbers three new races have programmed across the two meetings. At Addington on Friday there were always going to be three Listed NZ Standardbred Harness Million races for the two-year-olds ($75,000 Trot, $150,000 Fillies Pace, and the $200,000 Colts and Geldings Pace) as well as the $100,000 Group 1 Canprint Flying Stakes Mobile Pace for the three-year-olds. Now an extra race, the NZB Standardbred 2YO Colts and Geldings Mobile Pace (4.56pm) has been added, as has Race 2, the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust 3YO Mobile Pace for R47-R54 (5.19pm). Further south at Oamaru on Sunday it was originally intended to have just one two-year-old race. But because of the volume of youngsters nominated there will now be two races, one of each sex – Race 5, the Denice Swain Memorial Fillies Mobile Pace (1.48pm) and Race 6, the Republican Party Road to the NZ Cup Mobile Pace (2.13pm). The winners of both races will be eligible for the Entain two-year-old bonus. “We always expect great numbers and quality this time of the year but we have been genuinely surprised and delighted to see the depth and calibre of fields that are coming together,” says Peden. “Judging by Addington and Oamaru things are looking very promising as we look ahead to New Zealand Cup week and beyond.” To see the Addington fields click here To see the Oamaru fields click here View the full article

Milestones for both Ray Green and Maurice McKendry, two good three-year-olds on the move, and a dog naming competition all feature in this week’s News Briefs. Double whammy in win Sugar Ray Lincoln produced two milestones with his win at Alexandra Park last Friday. The victory gave Ray Green 500 training successes and was driving win number 3400 for Maurice McKendry. Maurie Mac, as he’s known, has had a quieter than usual year with just eight wins in 2024. He is the country’s second most successful driver ever, 285 wins behind Tony Herlihy (3685). Ricky May is third on 3133. This year six-time champion Blair Orange leads the drivers’ premiership on 122, 24 clear of John Dunn, while the Dunns are racing away with the trainers’ premiership on 145, 29 ahead of Steve and Amanda Telfer and Sam Thornley (47) is nine clear of Carter Dalgety in the junior drivers. To see more on Ray Green’s milestone click here Dex tops $12m in stakes Dexter Dunn has extended his lead as the highest-earner driver in North America. The 10-time Kiwi champion has now earned in excess of $12.2m in stakes to be clear leader of Yannick Gingras ($11.8m). Dunn has had 261 wins in 2024 including four at Kentucky’s famous Red Mile over the weekend. Among his winners was Mirage Hanover who won the Tattersalls Pace in 1:46.6. Dunn is on course to be named US Driver of the year for the fifth time. Cullen adds to his firepower Hayden Cullen’s West Melton stables have been bolstered by the arrival of two gun three-year-olds. Both Harrison John and Hadron Collider have been transferred from the country’s leading trainer Robert and Jenna Dunn’s barn at Woodend. Harrison John has won five from 14, his latest win coming at Addington on September 27. On that occasion Harrison John beat Cullen’s top three-year-old We Walk By Faith who was third, with Hadron Collider fourth. Cullen is building a quality team and has 15 wins in 2024 including two quinellas from his only four runners at Addington last month with Winelight and General Jen and Justcallmemiki and Wish Me Luck. Volstead three-year-olds keep winning How’s this for two winning streaks by sire of the moment Volstead? The two three-year-olds starred at Melton on Saturday night with the New Zealand-bound Keayang Zahra making it eight wins from eight starts and Derek the Jet making it nine from nine.

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk By his own admission Jason Teaz isn’t one to get too nostalgic or sentimental. But at Cambridge last night he trained his 100th winner, acknowledging it was a “pretty big achievement” and one worth celebrating. He brought up the milestone with Always B Charlie, who led all the way in the Christmas At The Raceway Tickets On Sale Now Mobile Pace for driver Peter Ferguson, before clearing out to win by three lengths. “There was a time when I thought I wouldn’t even get to 20 let alone 100,” Teaz told Track Chat’s Jo Ferguson post race. It was Teaz’s 29th win on his own account to go with the 71 he had in partnership with Megan Teaz, with his first winner being Blake’s Red Sox at Manawatu in November 2022. As well as being a trainer, Teaz is also well known within the racing community for the years he spent commentating races on Trackside. Brookies Jaffa has been his most successful horse by far, with 13 wins in 117 starts. “He’s been a great horse for us,” says Teaz, “he put us on the map.” Brookies Jaffa is part-owned by Tony Armstrong, who’s been a big supporter of the stable over the years, as has Bill Hickey, the breeder and owner of last night’s winner Always B Charlie. “I’d like to thank every owner who’s had a horse with me,” says Teaz, “and also the drivers that have helped me along the way.” Always B Charlie started out with Mike Berger and had three starts for him in 2022 before a series of setbacks. “He had a bowed tendon, a blown suspensory and a broken pastern,” says Teaz, “so they are three major injuries.” But Teaz decided to take the punt on the son of Always B Miki and he had his first start for him at Cambridge on September 24, finishing fifth. “It was 820 days between the races.” And then last night that perseverance got its reward for both horse and trainer. “It’s a pretty big achievement, I’m not normally one to acknowledge those sorts of things but I certainly will on this occasion.” View the full article

Bloodstock agent Tom Malone has called on the industry to support the Keagan Kirkby Race Day at Wincanton on Sunday, October 27. The former National Hunt jockey is set to ride in the charity race that takes place on the card and has already raised £10,000 for Racing Welfare and the Injured Jockeys Fund. Kirkby, who worked for trainer Paul Nicholls, died following a fall at Charing point-to-point in February. He was just 25 years old. Speaking about the upcoming charity event, Malone said, “This all started when I was asked to sponsor a charity event at Wincanton on October 27. I was asked if I would take a table as well. It was also suggested that I should ride in a charity race so I started looking into what it was for. “Keagan Kirkby sadly lost his life in a point-to-point last year. He worked for Paul Nicholls and was a massive part of the team at Ditcheat. He was a young man with his life ahead of him and was sadly taken too soon.” He added, “The charity race is being run for racing welfare and the Injured Jockeys Fund. The love, care and attention, and how they look after these families when they go through bereavement, is second to none. I have to get behind this. “We have already raised over £10,000 and I want to try and raise as much as I can. Goffs and Tattersalls have kindly pledged to sponsor me and a lot of other people have kindly come forward to sponsor but, what I would say is, every donation helps.” More information on the Keagan Kirkby Race Day at Wincanton can be found here – https://racingwelfare.enthuse.com/pf/tom-malone.

All-Star Mile & The Everest receive Group 1 status
Wandering Eyes posted a topic in BOAY Racing News
2024 All-Star Mile winner, Pride Of Jenni. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Racing Australia confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that the All-Star Mile (1600m) will ascend to Group 1 status in 2025. The announcement also included The Everest (1200m), which gained its own Group 1 designation ahead of next Saturday’s running. “Following the recent agreement and adoption of the Australian Black Type Guidelines by the Racing Australia Board, a review of races under those guidelines is being conducted. As a priority, the following races have been determined to have achieved the criteria and will be recognised as a Group 1: The Everest (and) The All-Star Mile,” stated a Racing Australia media release. “The All Star Mile and The Everest race upgrades have been ratified internationally. “Whilst these upgrades will take immediate effect, further analysis and review of all black type races is being undertaken with the expectation that further announcements will be made in the near future.” Responding to the news, Racing Victoria issued a statement: “We note and welcome Racing Australia’s announcement that The All-Star Mile has been upgraded to Group 1 status, a decision ratified by the Asian Racing Federation. “The All-Star Mile has surpassed the Group 1 rating benchmark of 115 in each of its six editions and thus is worthy of carrying this elite status. “This year’s All-Star Mile winner Pride Of Jenni was crowned Australian Racehorse of the Year last night and superstars in Mr Brightside and Zaaki preceded her on the honour roll. “With The All-Star Mile finding a new home at Flemington on Super Saturday 2025 (March 8), the race is now firmly entrenched as Victoria’s premier mile race of the autumn and a key feature on the Australian racing calendar.” Horse racing news View the full article -
What Mornington Races Where Mornington Racecourse – 320 Racecourse Rd, Mornington VIC 3931 When Thursday, October 10, 2024 First Race 1:30pm AEDT Visit Dabble An action-packed eight-race meeting is scheduled at Mornington Racecourse on Thursday afternoon on a track rated a Soft 7 at the time of acceptances. Clear skies are forecast in the leadup, meaning we should be racing on an improving surface throughout, with the rail coming out 3m the entire circuit. The opening race is set to jump at 1:30pm AEDT. Best Bet at Mornington: Ranveer Ranveer has had plenty of injury issues throughout his career, but one thing he has always done is put in a strong performance when first-up from a spell. The six-year-old gelding boasts a record of one win and three seconds from five fresh runs. At his best, he finished a length of subsequent Group 1-placegetter General Beau, which shows just how much potential this son of Winning Rupert has. Look for Lauren Burke to hold the rail from barrier three just behind the leaders, and when the gap appears on the home turn, Ranveer should have no issue in accounting for his rivals with even luck. Best Bet Race 5 – #1 Ranveer (3) 6yo Gelding | T: Matt Laurie | J: Lauren Burke (a3) (63.5kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Mornington: Cora Lynn Horse racing bookmakers went up $7 for Cora Lynn after having excuses as a drifting favourite at Geelong last time out. The three-year-old filly knuckled at the start and lost valuable ground when defeated by 2.3 lengths to Catoggio who would be a long odds-on chance if that runner lined up here. If Ethan Brown can get her out of the gates in a more efficient manner this time around, Cora Lynn can stalk the speed and when asked for the ultimate effort, run down her rivals. Next Best Race 2 – #3 Cora Lynn (4) 3yo Filly | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Ethan Brown (57kg) Bet with Playup Next Best Again at Mornington: Zousinger Zousinger was only run down inside the final 100m at Tatura after hitting the lead at the top of the straight, but gets her chance to go one better by stepping back to the 1000m. The Zousain filly retains the services of Lauren Burke, who claims 3kg, and with just 52kg on her back, it looks likely that the pair will look to run their rivals off their feet. If the pair can find the rail from barrier six, Zousinger will prove too hard to run down. Next Best Again Race 4 – #12 Zousinger (6) 3yo Filly | T: Shane Nichols | J: Lauren Burke (a3) (55kg) Bet with Picklebet Thursday quaddie tips for Mornington Mornington quadrella selections Thursday, October 10, 2024 1-4 1-2-3-6-7 5-6-7-9 3-6-12 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article

Superstar galloper Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) will face just seven rivals as he steps up to 2000m for the first time this campaign in the Group 1 Might And Power Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday. The Ben, Will and JD Hayes-trained galloper drew barrier one and will be ridden by Craig Williams. Chris Waller’s Atishu (NZ) (Savabeel) also brings star power to the race, while Melbourne Cup winner Vow And Declare also features. Kris Lees brings a dual-pronged attack to the $1 million race, with Kalapour and Adelaide River both accepting. View the full article

Evergreen galloper Green Luck will try to continue to belie his age when he heads to Te Rapa on Saturday to contest the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m). The 10-year-old son of Street Cry made the long journey north to the Waikato earlier this week from trainer Stephanie Faulkner’s Timaru base, and the southern horsewoman said he has settled in well. “He arrived at Pam Gerard’s (in Matamata) at lunchtime yesterday (Tuesday),” Faulkner said. “My husband, Pete, went with him. It is his first trip away with a horse, so it is an experience for him. He travelled like a charm – he has eaten up and drunk well. We are pleased with him at the moment.” It will be the second crack at the Livamol for the well-travelled Green Luck, who began his career in Australia before competing in Hong Kong, and eventually made his way to Canterbury. He came into the care of the late Paul Harris two years ago and was taken north to tackle all three legs of the Hawke’s Bay Spring Carnival, running fifth in the Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy (1400m), seventh in the Gr.1 Arrowfield Stud Plate (1600m) at Matamata, and fourth in the Livamol Classic. He secured stakes success for Faulkner earlier this year when winning the Gr.3 Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m) at Riccarton in April, and Faulkner is keen to add to that this weekend. Green Luck heads into the race in winning form after taking out the North Canterbury Cup (2000m) at Riccarton last month. While his previous three unplaced runs weren’t overly flattering results, Faulkner said they were better than they appeared, and she believes he will be peaking for his Group One target on Saturday. “I know some of his runs on paper don’t look good, but if you watch the races, he has actually gone really well,” Faulkner said. “He has carried huge weights. Last start he had 61kg and the second horse had 54kg. To win was a massive effort by the horse and he is still on the improve. “We are happy going into Saturday, he will be at his peak.” While they have had to travel a little further to Waikato after the meeting was transferred from Hastings as a result of track conditions, Faulkner isn’t overly perturbed by the further trip. “When you are travelling for almost 24 hours anyway, another four or five isn’t too much of an issue,” she said. “It’s a long trip for us anyway, it is just sad for Hastings that it is not there.” Te Rapa was rated a Heavy8 on Wednesday morning, with further rain forecast heading into the weekend, but Faulkner said her charge won’t be hindered by a wet track. “The track sounds like it is going to be a bit on the heavier side, but that won’t bother him,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if it is a Good4 or Heavy9 or 10, if he is right on the day her will go well.” Faulkner has secured the services of in-form northern hoop Sam Spratt for the Livamol, with Green Luck set to jump from barrier 11. “We are really chuffed to get Sam, she is the best barrier rider in New Zealand I believe,” Faulkner said. “He likes to race on the pace, which is what he will be doing.” Green Luck’s northern trip will be a hit-and-run mission, and Faulkner said she will look for further targets when he returns home. “We haven’t really looked forward after this. He is just one run at a time type of horse,” she said. “Soundness-wise, his legs are looking great. He will definitely come home after this and have a week or two off and we will have a look at something after that. “It is hard to place him in the South Island now with the handicaps. We will be looking at set weights and penalties races somewhere or weight-for-age, which suits him.” Closer to home on Saturday, Faulkner will have just the one runner at Ashburton, with Cheney set to tackle the Mike Pero Mortgages (1400m). “Unfortunately, she has got a wide draw (15),” Faulkner said. “She may be ridden a bit cold this time and see if we can get her home. She is a horse that will run over a bit more ground coming into the summer. She likes the tight-turning tracks.” View the full article

New Zealand Horse of the Year Imperatriz had a near perfect season in Australia last term and was duly crowned Champion Sprinter at the Australian Horse of the Year Awards in Adelaide on Tuesday. Trained by Mark Walker, Imperatriz recorded each of her five Group One wins last season in the hands of Te Akau Racing’s stable rider Opie Bosson, who recorded his 98th Group One win when she retained her crown in the Gr.1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) at The Valley in March. “It was a great honour to win Australian Sprinter of the Year and it was thoroughly deserved,” Walker said. “It was an unbelievable season of racing that she had in 2023/24 and everyone involved was so proud of her, which included those that worked with her at Te Akau Stud, the stables at Matamata and Cranbourne, and every part of the Te Akau training operation played its part in her success. “The ownership group were fantastic to deal with and she was a dream horse ever since Dave (Ellis, Te Akau Racing principal) bought her as a yearling at Magic Millions.” Ellis purchased Imperatriz out of Bhima Thoroughbreds’ 2020 Gold Coast Yearling Sale draft for $360,000 and she went on to win 19 of her 27 starts, including 10 Group Ones, and earned more than $7.5 million in prizemoney. Imperatriz was retired earlier this year, and in a full circle moment was offered at Magic Million’s Gold Coast National Broodmare sale where she was purchased by Yulong for A$6.6 million, becoming the highest priced filly or mare ever sold in the southern hemisphere. “Ben (Gleeson, Te Akau Racing Cranbourne assistant trainer) and I visited her last week at Yulong Stud, north of Melbourne, and we were amazed at the facilities there, simply world-class, and we got to give Imperatriz a pat and see what wonderful order she’s in after being served by Pierata (Pierro) the week before,” Walker said. “She’s on to the next stage of her career as a broodmare and mother and we look forward with great interest to seeing her progeny racing.” View the full article

Tony Pike will chase stakes features at both domestic venues on Saturday but will need withdrawals for a crack at the biggest prize on offer this weekend. The Cambridge trainer holds a strong hand at Te Rapa with Rudyard (NZ) (Charm Spirit) and Witz End (NZ) (Savabeel) in the Gr.3 Valley D’Vine Restaurant Spring Sprint (1400m) and Raziah in the Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m) at Ashburton. However, their barnmate Val Di Zoldo (NZ) (War Decree) will require scratchings to get off the ballot for a run in the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) and Pike is confident she will give a good account of herself if she does sneak in. “She is one of the unluckiest mares going around and should have won the Travis Stakes (Gr.2, 2000m) last season,” Pike said. “Wiremu (Pinn) lost his iron that day and she got beaten a couple of half-heads and she probably should have won last Saturday.” The daughter of War Decree finished fifth at Tauranga where she was unable to secure a clear passage down the home straight. “She has been desperately unlucky and if she does get a run, it’s not a vintage Livamol field and she’d definitely be an each way chance the way she is going,” Pike said. Rudyard and Witz End are in fine order for the feature sprint and top candidates, provided they get underfoot conditions to suit. “Hopefully the track will improve for both of them, and if it is reasonable they are hard to split,” Pike said. “Rudyard is a better horse at Ellerslie, although he has won at Te Rapa but is probably not as good there. “Witz End is very talented but it’s his first crack at open company and it’s only his seventh race day start. “It’s a tough ask of him but he’s obviously heading the right way and will get to that level sooner rather than later.” Rudyard was a solid last-start third when resuming at Ellerslie last month while Witz End returned to action off a break at Hastings where he was a dominant winner after making the play out in front. Both horses hold nominations for the Gr.3 TAB Mile (1600m) on the middle day of the New Zealand Cup meeting at Riccarton. “That’s definitely an option for them and we’ll see what happens on Saturday first,” Pike said. Meanwhile, Niagara filly Raziah (NZ) (Niagara) will take another step toward the southern carnival when she bids to remain unbeaten this preparation in the Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m) at Ashburton on Saturday after winning last month’s Listed Canterbury Belle Stakes (1200m). “She probably won’t have the gate speed to get herself handy at Ashburton, she’ll probably sit midfield and hopefully they go quickly and she’ll be strong late as she always is,” Pike said. “That should set her up nicely heading toward the 1000 Guineas (Gr.1, 1600m).” Pike will decide after this weekend whether Raziah has another run before the Classic in the Gr.3 War Decree Stakes (1600m) at Riccarton on October 26.

Iffraaj’s speedy daughter Short Shorts (NZ) (Iffraaj) acquitted herself well during her time in Australia and has returned home to further boost her future broodmare value. Bred and raced by Mark Fraser-Campin and brother Chris under their Chequers Stud banner, the six-year-old won six races up to 1400m during her time with Hawkesbury trainer Brad Widdup. She emphasised her quality when finishing runner-up on her then home track in the Gr.3 Hawkesbury Crown (1300m) and ran third in the Gr.3 Dark Jewel Classic (1300m) at Scone. “She obviously showed a fair bit of speed and did very well. She was a bit unlucky in both her Group placings,” said Fraser-Campin, who is now training Short Shorts. “Brad encouraged me to bring her home, he was patient with her and she’s 100 percent sound. “She doesn’t like wet tracks and the prizemoney here is so good and easier to get black type than in Sydney. We’re paddock training her Kiwi style and she’s thriving on it.” Short Shorts had showed ability early on when initially in work with Fraser-Campin and a unique set of circumstances resulted in her crossing the Tasman as an unraced three-year-old. “I had jumped her out and we were going into our second lockdown at Cambridge and the racing and trials were being put off and they were still racing in Sydney,” he said. “I rang Brad, who is a long-time friend, and said I’ve got this filly who I think goes well and it could be three months before I can trial her, so we put her on a plane.” After her successful Australian venture netted nearly $500,000 in earnings, Short Shorts was given her first outing at the Matamata trials on Tuesday and showed her customary pace to lead all the way over 1000m with rider Sam Spratt sitting quietly in the saddle. “I nearly didn’t trial her because of the heavy track, but the timing was good,” Fraser-Campin said. “It will be a month before she runs, and she has won first-up a few times, and she’s pulled up well.” Short Shorts is likely to kick off in the Listed Legacy Lodge Sprint (1200m) at Te Rapa on November 9, with the Gr.2 Dunstan Feeds Auckland Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1400m) at Pukekohe a fortnight later. Longer term, the Gr.2 Westbury Classic (1400m) at Ellerslie on January 25 is another attractive target for the mare. Short Shorts is a daughter of the late Green Perfume mare Jabot, a half-sister to the Gr.1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) winner Zirna who left the Gr.3 Adrian Knox Stakes (2000m) winner Crafty Irna.

What Hawkesbury Races Where Hawkesbury Race Club – Alison Rd, 1 Racecourse Rd, Clarendon NSW 2756 When Thursday, October 10, 2024 First Race 1:15pm AEDT Visit Dabble Hawkesbury is the destination for NSW racing on Thursday afternoon, with an ultra-competitive eight-race program scheduled to get underway at 1:15pm local time. The rail moves out +2m between the 1100m to winning post, while the remainder is in the true throughout the course proper. With only light showers forecast in the lead-up, punters can expect a perfect day of racing with the track holding its Good 4 conditions throughout. Best Bet at Hawkesbury: Mellifluent Mellifluent returns after a 130-day spell and appears ready for a first-up assault after undergoing a gelding operation. The James Cummings-trained three-year-old caught the eye in a recent piece of work at this course on September 17, trucking in behind the in-form Bonita Queen while going through the line under his own steam. He still has plenty of upside as he takes on BM64 company, and with Zac Lloyd set to take the reins from stall three, expect Mellifluent to prove hard to hold out. Best Bet Race 8 – #4 Mellifluent (3) 3yo Gelding | T: James Cummings | J: Zac Lloyd (59kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Hawkesbury: Rolling Magic Rolling Magic made a mess of his rivals at Newcastle on September 20, cruising to victory by 1.8 lengths to break his maiden in stylish fashion. He steps up to the mile for the first time in this Class 1 contest, and from barrier two, should gain a similar economical run in transit. Zac Lloyd takes the reins this time around, and provided he can land into the one-one throughout the journey, Rolling Magic will be careering down the centre of the course to claim back-to-back wins. Next Best Race 5 – #1 Rolling Magic (2) 4yo Gelding | T: Richard & Will Freedman | J: Zac Lloyd (59kg) Bet with Picklebet Best Value at Hawkesbury: Emery The Sara Ryan-trained Emery debuts on the back of two strong barrier trials and represents terrific each-way value with horse racing bookmakers. The filly by Almanzor hit the line full of running in a recent barrier trial at Canterbury on September 24, showing an impressive turn-of-foot to get within 2.7 lengths of Tartaglia. Barrier four allows Regan Bayliss to be positive in the early stages, and provided he can slot into a mid-field position with cover throughout, punters can expect Emery to give a bold showing on debut.

Toorak Handicap favourite, Another Wil. (Photo by Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) The Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) is the last of three massive Group 1’s at Caulfield on Saturday afternoon, with a quality field of 13 set to line up in one of Victoria’s greatest handicaps. The Ciaron Maher-trained Another Wil has been the long-standing favourite with horse racing bookmakers both pre-and-post barrier draw, with the progressive five-year-old gelding installed as the $2.80 favourite after drawing barrier one. The son of Street Boss will be ridden by Michael Dee while Jamie Kah serves the remainder of her suspension before returning on Caulfield Cup/Everest Day. Trainer Tony Gollan will be hopeful a return to handicap conditions will favour Antino after contesting the Group 2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on September 27, with the Queensland-based gelding being respected on the second line of betting at $6.00. The Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) winner Orchestral ($9.00) returns to Australia after a luckless first-up performance at Ellerslie on September 21 and appears well-placed with 54kgs on her back. Desert Lightning will be searching for back-to-back wins after claiming victory in the Group 3 Sandown Stakes (1500m) on September 28, with the five-year-old gelding needing to carry top weight of 57kgs to victory with Luke Nolen in the saddle. Godolphin has a tough decision to make regarding Pericles dual-accepted for this event and the $2 million Hill Stakes (1900m) at Rosehill on the same day. Craig will be trying to turn the tables on Desert Lightning from the Sandown Stakes and is being respected at the $10.00, while the Grant & Alana Williams-trained Alsephina ($11.00) brings winning form into this, claiming the Group 2 Stocks Stakes (1514m) on September 27. Meanwhile, Osipenko ($14.00) will be the only runner representing the Chris Waller barn, with Damien Lane booked to take the reins from barrier three. The 2024 Toorak Handicap is the final race on the program at Caulfield on Saturday afternoon, with the mouthwatering clash set to get underway at 5:45pm local time. 2024 Toorak Handicap Final Field 1.
