Parx Racing crowned a new champ on Saturday in the GI Pennsylvania Derby, as Seize the Grey (Arrogate–Smart Shopping, Smart Strike) outlasted the field and took home his second top level score for his throng of investors. Forwardly-placed from the bell as a 4-1 shot here, the GI Preakness Stakes winner made the lead by the first turn and touched every pole as he circled the track. Down the lane with Stronghold (Ghostzapper) launching his bid, the D. Wayne Lukas trainee responded and got his picture taken over his rival. The final running time was 1:51.89.

Third at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in February in the G3 Saudi Derby behind Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) and Book'em Danno (Bucchero), who have each distinguished themselves on the world stage since that day, Bentornato (c, 3, Valiant Minister–Her Special Way, by Put It Back) took advantage of his own moment to shine Saturday in the GII Gallant Bob Stakes at Parx. The Florida-bred and Leon King Stable Corp. colorbearer captured his first graded stakes after a string of black-type wins in Florida last year while also keeping his unbeaten streak at six furlongs intact. Bentornato wasn't quickest out of the gate, but stayed glued to the inside of July's Concern Stakes winner Sunny Breeze (Cajun Brreze), who held a head advantage at the :22:01 first quarter marker. Ohio-bred Alwaysintomischief (Maximus Mischief) joined the pair before the :45.08 half, looking every bit a threat, and the three came off the turn together. It wasn't long before Alwaysintomischief waved the white flag as Bentornato and Sunny Breeze matched strides down the lane, separating themselves from the field and brushing in the sort of pulsing stretch battle that doesn't deserve a loser. A dead heat was not to be, as Bentornato finished a determined neck to the better of a very game Sunny Breeze. Buccherino (Bucchero), the Aug. 24 winner of the Salvatore M. Debunda Sprint Stakes over both this surface and over Sunny Breeze, who was third that day, finished evenly for the show spot. “At the farm, he acts like a little baby,” said winning trainer Jose D'Angelo of Bentornato. “When he is supposed to run or train, he is very professional. That is why I went over to Saudi, because he is a horse that is all business when he trains. He is strong, and when you have a strong horse, they can do whatever they want. They help to make things easier for you. When you have the one [post], you have to go from the start and sometimes you have to make fast fractions. We didn't want to use him too much because we knew we had to have horse at the end. The key to the race was the second fraction when he made :45 and he brought it home. He is a nice horse. I am very proud of him. My plan is the Breeders' Cup for him. We have a plan, always. This horse fights all the time and he never gives up.” After making a splash in Florida at two last summer and fall–winning his first four straight, including three black-type events, all at Gulfstream–Bentornato took 2 1/2 months to prepare for the Saudi Derby. He showed the way early in the $1.5-million world event, finally finishing six lengths behind the top pair, who have each made headlines many times over since that day. While Forever Young went on to win the G2 UAE Derby and finish third in the GI Kentucky Derby, Book 'em Danno's victories since have included the GI Woody Stephens Stakes at Saratoga. Bentornato took a more modest approach, returning for a runner-up finish and a career-high 99 Beyer last month in the Robert Hilton Memorial Stakes at Charles Town in his first start since Saudi. The Gallant Bob marked his first try in a graded event domestically. The dark bay, never been worse than third in his eight career starts and three-for-three at six panels, was named Florida's champion 2-year-old male of 2023. Pedigree Notes: Ocala's Bridlewood Farm stands Valiant Minister, a $680,000 OBS 2-year-old buy who won his only career start prior to a stall accident that ended his racing career. The son of Candy Ride (Arg) has had two black-type winners from his four small crops. Bentornato is his first graded winner. Berntornato is also one of 40 stakes winners out of a mare by the late Put It Back. Her Special Way has a 2-year-old full-brother to Bentornato, as well as a yearling filly by Saketini. She was bred to Oscar Performance for next term. The year after Tanma Corp. bred Bentornato, Terry Dyer bought the mare at the 2022 OBS Winter Mixed Sale, carrying the now-juvenile, for $2,500, while Bentornato himself was a pinhook, picked up by Pro Racing Stables at the 2022 OBS Yearling sale for $45,000 and turned around to Champion Equine at the 2023 OBS March sale for $170,000. #1 BENTORNATO ($4.00) wins the battle over Sunny Breeze in the $400,000 Gallant Bob Stakes (G2) at @ParxRacing.

Like a torpedo in the water, it was MGISW Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna–Sataves, by Uncle Mo) who got up late to take home the GI Cotillion Stakes at Parx on Saturday afternoon. The accomplished filly who won the GI Kentucky Oaks back in May, was a short-priced favorite in the race. Not backing down from challengers here, the 3-year-old tracked Mystic Lake (Mo Town) into the first turn. Looking for a way through around the far turn, the Ken McPeek trainee finally got free and began to fight alongside Gun Song (Gun Runner).

The Keeneland September Yearling Sale, which surpassed its record gross Thursday with two sessions still to go, concluded its blockbuster 12-day run Saturday in Lexington with increases across the board over its 2023 renewal. In addition to its record gross, the sale produced its highest-ever average and a tied its record median. “The energy here was at times reminiscent of another era,” said Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy. “When we were on inspections earlier this year, we saw quality and consistency among the crop, and it gave us a lot of excitement. And when the horses showed up at the sale, it verified our expectations. The market was very broad based. We saw new faces and welcomed back people we haven't seen in years from all over the world who returned because of their confidence in the U.S. industry and Keeneland being a global marketplace.” During the 12-day auction, 2,735 horses sold for a total of $411,749,500. The average of $150,548 was up 5.20% from a year ago and the median of $70,000 was up 4.48%. The previous record gross, $405,495,700, and average, $142,429, were both set in 2022, as was the record-setting median. The average and median records were broken in both 2021 and 2022, while the 2022 gross broke the sales record set in 2006. A total of 36 yearlings–led by a $5-million son of Curlin–sold for a million or more during the auction, up from 30 a year ago and second-most ever at the auction behind only 2005. The sale topper was the highest-priced colt sold at September since 2006. There were 185 horses who sold for $500,000 or more at the September sale this year, versus 168 in 2023. “The support of our breeders,” Keeneland Director of Sales Operations Cormac Breathnach responded when asked what was responsible for the strength of the sale. “It's hats off to them.” Breathnach continued, “We rely, first and foremast, on the support of the breeders and consignors that bring the horses here. And then it's incumbent on us to reinforce the strength of the sale year on year and attract more and more buyers from around the world, as well as domestically. So we are very pleased with how this sale has gone. Not everyone has had an outstanding sale, but overall, this has been an extremely strong and a record September sale.” For the fourth year in a row, the September sale opened with a pair of elite Book 1 sessions, followed by two Book 2 sessions. The format has been steadily gaining traction with both buyers and sellers with a power-packed Book 1 setting the table for the rest of the auction. “The diversity in the horses was what the buyers were looking for and they responded with the way the sale shaped up,” said Lacy. “The Book 1 format–putting the best athletes and best physicals forward–has been very well received. We received many compliments on the quality of the stock and I think you saw it in the results that followed as well. Which is very gratifying.” Lacy added the successful September market reflects a positive state of the industry as a whole and particularly the impact of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority. “I think the new medication regulations have given a huge sense of confidence to the buyers,” he said. “It's something they've been looking to for quite a while. I think the industry has responded well to it. It's not a perfect situation, but no growth is without pain. Seeing new people coming in and investing significant amounts of money in the last two weeks was sort of a great illustration of where the industry is going as a whole. It's a great sign of an upward swing and I think we are at the beginning of a potentially very large upswing for the industry and the sport in general. I think we have to be very optimistic as we go forward.” Among the happy consignors leaving Keeneland was Tom Hinkle of Hinkle Farms, which sold all 20 horses in its consignment for $6,175,000, highlighted by a Curlin filly for $1.2 million and a Constitution colt for $1.1 million. “It's been an awesome sale,” said Hinkle. “We budget every year for what we think our yearling crop is going to bring and we're fairly conservative, and it has considerably exceeded our expectations. As far as I'm concerned, Keeneland has done a fabulous job. The way they put together Books 1 and 2 has been really good and everybody has gotten used to it. They have done a heck of a job recruiting active buyers from all parts of the world. If you had the right horse and it met the criteria, you were greatly rewarded.” Broad Buying Base The September sale, which as recently as five years ago was consistently dominated by just two buyers, featured a deep and diverse buying bench in 2024. At the top of the market, the 36 yearlings who sold for $1 million or over were purchased by 24 unique entities. In addition, 96 different buyers spent $1 million or more during the sale, compared to 82 last year. “The stretching and the depth of the domestic market has been outstanding,” said Lacy. “Having 24 individual entities buying a horse for a million dollars or above is an outstanding number. And 48 consignors sold a horse for $500,000 or more. That shows a broadness of the market and how many people got rewarded for the quality product that they brought to the market.” Across the sale, the results sheets featured buyers from 31 different countries. “Our international outreach, I think, is paying dividends,” Breathnach said. “We have had sales team members go all over the world. We had three members in the Middle East for a long stint between the Saudi Cup and Dubia World Cup. We had members in Japan, Eastern Europe, South America and all over the country in the U.S., and also in England and Ireland. We sponsor races around the world. We are really putting our best foot forward, trying to engage the international community, as well as the domestic buying base. I think the most gratifying thing for us is seeing the number of countries that have bought from the September catalogue, which is a couple more than last year and heading in the right direction.” Celebrating the sale of a $1.4-million colt and a $975,000 filly, Blue Heaven Farm co-owner Adam Corndorf said, “We have had a few good ones over the years, but this was the first year we had two high-end horses that got up in the stratosphere. It was a dream come true. There was a good broad base of lookers, including pinhookers, international and domestic buyers. The top end of the market was what we expected, but we were pleasantly surprised with what our horses brought in that second tier, in Book 3.” Strength from Start to Finish Demand, which started out at a fever-pitch in Book 1, remained strong throughout the September sale, with the median increasing year-over-year during each of the 12 sessions of the auction. The auction's fourth session–the second Book 2 session–saw the biggest percentage increase in median at 25% over 2023 figures. “We look at the median because that's more indicative of the power of the middle market,” Breathnach said. “The median and the RNA rate are what allow you to better compare year to year. With our consistent format we can begin to identify trends. With this being the fourth year with the same format, the median has increased every single session.” The session average saw declines in just two sessions–with the auction's ninth session dipping marginally at 0.99% and the final session down 5.08%. The sale's second day average of $611,038 established a session record, bettering the previous mark of $589,814 from the same session in 2006. “Book 1 had one of the strongest groups of physicals I've seen for a while,” said Nick deMeric, whose deMeric Sales purchased eight yearlings for $1,095,000. “Keeneland did a very good job managing it. It wasn't just reflected in the prices, but also in the momentum the sale got from the word go. As we all know, it carries over. It keeps the sale strong when you start off strong. “When enough of us get shut out in the early parts of the sale, we're just going to work harder later in the sale. We got one Wednesday, we paid $110,000 for and we thought we would get it for $60,000. It definitely carried over. The better physicals were well received and hard to buy as a result.” With 804 yearlings reported not sold during the auction, the buy-back rate was 22.72% in 2024. It was 20.22% a year ago. “The RNA rate tended to be a tick higher through the books through each session, which might be a sign that there might be a few more sellers who might not be getting what they wanted out of this,” Breathnach said. “Which is obviously something we will be working on. Also, with the stronger market, you can tend to set a higher reserve. So it's a bit of both.” At the conclusion of Saturday's session, an additional 153 yearlings were reported as post sales for a gross of $16,050,500. Those post sale transactions are not included in the sale's final figures. “Our post sale RNA-to-sale activity is up at least 10% from last year,” Breathnach said. “So we are well north of $15 million in post sales.” Trainer Eddie Kenneally, who purchased 14 yearlings for a total of $1,077,000, agreed there was plenty to attract his attention throughout the auction. “All the way through the sale there were quality horses distributed throughout the books,” Kenneally said during Session 10. “Obviously, there was more pedigree in Book 1 and into Book 2, but there were nice individuals all the way to [the end of the sale]. There is a horse for everybody. There are buyers getting shuffled back every day and they can't get the number of horses they need to get. They're having to spend more time here because it is so competitive with the quality coming through. I think the strength of Kentucky racing right now is a big part of what's driving it all.” The increases can be traced, at least in part, to the depth of quality in a diminishing foal crop, according to Breathnach. “The floor–meaning the bottom sector of the horses coming to market–is so much higher than it was even five or 10 years ago,” Breathnach said. “A lot of older mares whose produce record has shown they are not successful are no longer being bred, or those yearlings are not coming to market. There really is quality right through the end of the sale. The breeders, and we say this all of the time, are very sophisticated. Production costs are high, they cannot afford to raise horses that won't be commercial. So there really is a very high floor and a high ceiling in what is there.” The strength in the middle market reflects Keeneland's commitment to breeders in that segment of the sale, according to Lacy. “That's the core of what we all do,” Lacy said. “That's why we are here. We know the responsibility that Keeneland as an organization has towards the breeders and to the industry as a whole. A lot of the breeders are friends or colleagues over the years. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves knowing that the success of the September sale is a big factor in how their year turns out. They are farmers bringing their crops to market. That is something that is critical to the core of what Keeneland is. We are here to support the market. Everything we do is put back into the market and breeders at all levels, and especially the core breeders in the middle market, are the fabric of what we exist for.” SF/Starlight/Madaket on Top Again For the second year in a row, the stallion-making partnership of SF Racing, Starlight Racing and Madaket Stable was the leading buyer at the September sale. With Donato Lanni as agent, the group purchased 18 yearlings for a gross of $11,330,000. Last year, it purchased 20 head for $12,590,000. “It was one of the strongest sales I've ever seen at Keeneland,” Lanni said. “It was great to see so many people here buying horses and it was extremely competitive. If we wanted to buy a horse, it cost more. You had to be ready to give more than you expected. There were some people at this sale I hadn't seen in long time, so Keeneland did a good job bringing them in as well.” Donato Lanni | Keeneland Belladonna Racing, with trainer Cherie DeVaux as agent, was the auction's second leading buyer with 20 head purchased for $9,845,000. Mike Repole, who alone was the second leading buyer at the 2023 auction, and in partnership with St. Elias Stable was the leading buyer in 2022 and 2021, was the third leading buyer this year with 25 purchased for $9,755,000. A year ago, Repole purchased 35 yearlings for $11,835,000. Taylor Made Leading Consignor Taylor Made Sales Agency was the leading consignor at the September sale for the 25th time since 1988, regaining the title after having an eight-year streak halted by Gainesway in 2023. Taylor Made sold 333 horses for a total of $53,133,200 and an average of $159,559. The gross is the highest for a September sale consignor since Taylor Made grossed $57 million in 2007. “It's been crazy good,” Taylor Made's Frank Taylor said of the sale. “This sale was really, really good. It was way better than I anticipated. It's amazing how strong the market is, with everything that's going on in the world. Racing is good, and there is a lot of enthusiasm. People want to buy racehorses.” Gainesway was the auction's second leading consignor with 125 sold for $39,854,000 and an average of $318,832. 4100 horses into the ⁦@keenelandsales⁩ and the back ring is rocking!! $1 and $1 is adding fuel to the ! ⁦@TaylorMadeSales⁩ pic.twitter.com/hmqCGcnUV1 — Mark Taylor (@TaylorMadeMark) September 21, 2024 Sire Power The diversity in the buying bench was mirrored in the sire ranks, with Curlin–in a tight three-way battle–earning top honors with 44 head sold for an average of $579,432. Into Mischief was second with 42 sold for an average of $535,476 and Gun Runner was third with 62 sold for an average of $526,855. In 2023, Into Mischief was the sale's leading sire with 53 sold for an average of $698,019. His nearest pursuer was Tapit, who had 25 sold for an average of $441,480. Among Curlin's five million-dollar yearlings was the auction's top-priced offering, a son of Cavorting and full-brother to Clairiere, who sold for $5 million to Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm. Gun Runner had seven million-dollar yearlings, led by a $2.2-million colt also purchased by Pope. Into Mischief had four yearlings bring seven figures and Constitution, Nyquist and Not This Time had three. Tapit had two. A group of first-crop sires broke into the headlines with million-dollar yearlings of their own. Both Charlatan and Maxfield had a pair of yearlings from their first crops break the seven-figure threshold, while Yaupon came close with a $900,000 colt. Charlatan had 74 through the ring sell for an average of $263,649, while Maxfield had 56 sell for an average of $234,446. “It was a great crop of first-season sires,” Lacy said. “The young stallions with their first runners this year are getting results on the track and gaining a lot of traction in the ring as well. When you look at the beginning of the sale, through the first week, we had a great variety of stallions gaining attention in the market. Having Maxfield and Charlatan having multiple million-dollar-plus horses is a testament to that. It's exciting for the future.” Rock Your World Yearlings Top Final Session A colt by Rock Your World (hip 4228) topped the final session of the September sale when selling for $85,000 to Zap/Murphy for California Racing Partners and Ciaglia. The yearling was consigned by Stoneriggs Farm, Agent III. A filly from the first crop of the GI Santa Anita Derby winner (hip 4337) brought the session's second highest price when selling for $55,000 to Tom Tatum. The bay was consigned by Vinery Sales. During Saturday's final session, 203 yearlings grossed $2,662,000 for an average of $13,113 and a median of $10,000. The average dipped 5.08% from the final session of last year's sale, while the median rose 11.11%.

Handing her first-crop sire Tiz the Law his 12th win, it was Silent Law (Tiz the Law–Southern Silence, by Dixie Union) who blazed a trail to the winner's circle against three others on debut in the lid lifter at Los Alamitos on Saturday afternoon. The 2-year-old filly might have taken an awkward step out of the gate, but the heavy favorite soon got underway and took aim at the pacesetter. Rolling along around the far turn, the Bob Baffert trainee coasted all the way to the wire in style with a multiple-length graduation over Calmate (Vekoma). The final running time was :57.18. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. Sales History: 80,000 '23 KEESEP; $400,000 '24 OBSOPN. O-CSLR Racing Partners; B-Newstead Corp; T-Bob Baffert.

Sunday sees Cologne's G1 Mehl-Mulhens-Stiftung Preis von Europa, for which the King George hero Goliath (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) would have been a warm order, but there is still intrigue with Godolphin's 2022 title-holder Rebel's Romance (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in attendance. Having covered himself in glory when third in a red-hot renewal of Ascot's July showcase event, the winner of five top-flight events including a Breeders' Cup Turf and a Dubai Sheema Classic appears as good as ever and that should be enough despite the presence of Liberty Racing's G1 Deutsches Derby hero Palladium (Ger) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Gestut Rottgen's G1 Preis der Diana heroine Erle (Ger) (Reliable Man {GB}) and Gestut Ittlingen's multiple group winner Lordano (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}). “Rebel's Romance heads back to Germany in great shape and we are hoping this can be a springboard for the Breeders' Cup again,” trainer Charlie Appleby said. “Goliath not running changes the complexion of the race slightly, although we still have two German Classic winners in the field receiving a lot of weight from the older horses. You always have to respect the opposition at this level, but Rebel's Romance has won this race before and can hopefully go and do it again.” The post Rebel’s Romance Back For The Preis Von Europa appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Veteran rider Franny Norton, who announced his retirement earlier this week, rode a trio of winners at Chester to end his career on a high. Norton enjoyed seven rides on Saturday, prevailing with 1-3 favourite Raneenn (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in the EBF “Confined” Fillies' Novice Stakes for trainer William Haggas and owner Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum in the day's third race. Haggas said, “It was lovely to give him a winner on his last day. He rode the most brilliant race for us a few years ago (2017) on a horse called Fastnet Tempest (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) at Chester, when he came from last to first in a big-field handicap. I'm delighted for him that he's ridden a winner on his last day, he deserves it.” In the day's sixth race, Norton was back in the winner's enclosure with Small Fry (Ire) (Harzand {Ire}), the crowd's pick at 11-10, who captured the Camden Hells Handicap for Small Fry Partners and trainers Gary and Josh Moore. Prior to riding Small Fry to victory Norton, also a talented boxer, told Chester Races, “It was like going for a fight. I lost a couple of rounds and I'm coming back now. I'm just going to the enjoy the moment.” Fittingly, Norton was aboard the Charlie Johnston-trained Qitaal (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), also the pick of the race a 2-1 in the nightcap, to win the Abacus Securities Farewell To Franny Norton Handicap by eight lengths. Norton spent a large portion of his time in the saddle riding for Charlie's father Mark and has continued his association with the younger Johnston.

Adding yet another distance score to his impressive resume, MGSW Next (Not This Time–Bahia Beach, by Awesome Again) won the GIII Greenwood Cup Stakes for the second year in a row at Parx Racing on Saturday afternoon. Last seen taking by 22 1/4 lengths the Birdstone Stakes at Saratoga Aug. 4, the heavy favorite here started his run under a snug hold past the grandstand for the first time as former Greenwood victor Riden With Biden (Constitution) showed the way. Towards the end of the backstretch the pacesetter was ready to throw in the towel and that was the cue for the 6-year-old gelding to take control. Rounding the far turn, the distance specialist began to put on a show for the Bensalem crowd and he cantered home a winner by multiple lengths over Magic Michael (Dramedy). The final running time was 2:33.61. Lifetime Record: 23-13-0-1. O-Michael A. Foster; B-Silverton Hill LLC; T-William Cowans. NEXT wins for fun at 1/9 to make it back-to-back Greenwood Cup Stakes (GIII) at #parxracing victories for trainer Chief Stipe Cowans.

Saturday's SGA Yearling Sale in Milan resulted in co-toppers as a colt and a filly each brought €70,000 when purchased by Diego Romeo's Scuderia Incolinx. Just a handful of lots into the sale, a son of Holy Roman Emperor (Ire) already named Lethal Emperor (Ity) (lot 8) hammered for €70,000 to take the early lead on the bid of Scuderia Incolinx. Consigned by Societa Agricola Alessandrucci, the bay is out of the Lethal Force (Ire) mare Lethal Island (GB), who won three times in Italy. She is the dam of three winners from three to race, and is from the same family as G3 Greenlands Stakes heroine and stakes producer Moon Unit (Ire) (Intikhab). Adaay (Ire) filly Teheran (Ity) (lot 19), from Azienda Agricola Rosati Colariati equaled that price when snapped up once again by Scuderia Incolinx. She is a half-sister to stakes winners Tawang (Ity) (Zelzal {Fr}) and Azzurro Cobalto (Ity) (Aussie Rules), with the later second in the G3 Premio Carlo d'Alessio. Both her second and third dams were stakes winners in Italy. Incolinx was also the name on the docket for lot 23, a grey daughter of Saxon Warrior (Jpn). She sold for €60,000 from the draft of Razza del Velino. Her granddam is the G3 Premio Verziere heroine Loritania (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), responsible for Italian listed winners Amabile (Ire) (Caravaggio) and Vincere Insieme (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). At the close of trade, 78 horses sold from 110 offered (%) for a gross of €1,295,500. The average was €16,609 (-24%) and the median was €11,000 (-12%).

Grass track racing returns this Sunday to the Banks Peninsula Trotting Club meeting at Motukarara, with the feature race being the Tactical Approach D G Jones Banks Peninsula Cup at 3.58pm. Trackside presenter Marc Cookson casts his eye over the 12 race card. Race 1 – Jean Anderson Memorial Trot (11.37am) With a 50% place record in his 12 start career, with the same percentage placing on grass, Schoemaker is the one for me showing his versatility in racing and ability. In a maiden trot at “The Mot” I am looking towards him with Wypout also being an include after hitting the line strong with not all favours at Methven. Race 2 – Leigh and Greg Ayers Proudly Support BPTC Mobile Pace (12.02pm) Melton Magnate is drawn closer this week after being buried on the pegs from wider over the Methven mile. Delta Kilo tried to lead from the same draw at Methven after a 6-week freshener. Same draw for him again with that run under his belt. Race 3 – Norjo Motorcycles Trot (12.27pm) Torvi wasn’t the best beginner when well supported fresh up. She was looking for inside runs in the straight but didn’t find one when having a nice turn of foot on the way home. Look To Da Stars, the three-year-old, sat parked the last lap fresh up at Addington. The lone Nathan and Mark Purdon runner at the meeting and Blair Orange aboard second up is a must include. Race 4 – Lather Up at Woodlands Pace (12.52pm) Festus Haggen almost got his own way the entire journey at Methven with six weeks between runs. Stable and driver do well at “The Mot” and he is a must include again. Franco Chaplin cost us at Methven after blowing to pieces early. However, the trial from Mt Hutt the week prior is hard to drop. I want to give the son of Ultimate Machete another chance. Race 5 – Ranui House – Bone Marrow Cancer Trust Trot (1.31pm) Noah Magnific hit the line strongly at Methven after racing in some strong grades in the winter. Similar grade here to Methven. Each way here along with the old marvel Take After Me, who should be handy, and a watch on the fresh up Sinner Cool. Race 6 – Townley Racing (Junior Drivers) Mobile Pace (2.11pm) Opo will have to be driven differently off the second row draw this week, which could be more to his liking. In an open junior driver race, Santanna Mach looks a good top four chance Race 7 – Richard Roberton Memorial (Blue September) Trot (2.44pm) Being an invited drivers “Blue September” race, Brother Love has drawn Matthew Williamson and Sunny Louis has drawn Rory McIllwrick. Both enter an open race after efforts from the trail and lead respectively at Methven. Blair Orange has drawn Otago horse, Nubliah Chamay, who can be in this with manners and bringing her lovely grass track stats. Race 8 – BPTC Remembers Katie Cox with Fondness (Blue September) Pace (3.18pm) The well-bred Moonlite Blood was a black booker on the way he hit the line at Methven coming out of maidens. Amazing Tom was another head turner from the Grant Payne stable in that same race and beat Moonlite Blood home. Both are includes for me in this. Race 9 – Tactical Approach D G Jones Banks Peninsula Trotting Cup (3.58pm) Confessional was unlucky in the Ordeal Cup then both him and Kyvalley Hotspur ran second and third last start. Kyvalley Hotspur coming into that race fresh and doing all things right at the trials beating Highgrove, who has since come back huge. The Bob Butt-trained Aussie is only 10 metres behind and looks ready. Confessional is from Paul Nairn’s stable who could potentially line up five runners in the two mile feature, including Tectonic. Race 10 – John McDermott 75 at 75 Mobile Pace (4.32pm) Dulcinea was running on late at Methven from last getting only two lengths from Sweet Spirit. Gets a draw closer in and will have taken improvement from the run. Seven placings on grass and is a great each way Chance. Race 11 – Richard (Dick) Eivers Memorial Trot (5.07pm) Prince Teka was back at the trials on Wednesday and, as expected, was up handy trailing the leader. He drops markedly in grade here compared to his pre winter prep. Royal Dierdre is another chance from a stable who goes well on the grass this time of year. Good grass stats, standing start stats, Blair Orange drives. Tick, tick, tick. Race 12 – Craythornes Hotel/Oxford Group Mobile Pace (5.37pm) Poetry In Motion gets an awkward draw but could be getting into it late by the way this horse picked a path through late in the piece at Methven. Dennis Denuto is having start 50 on grass and has the one run under the belt this prep and will take improvement on that. Stephs Boy has more race fitness, similar draw to Methven where he went back and got into it strongly. Plus, he has won two of four races here at Mot so would play some exotics around those three to try and get out.
