Kiwi import Luvnwar (NZ) (War Decree) scored her first stakes victory when landing the Listed Amelia Park-Belmont Guineas (1600m) at Belmont on Saturday, with a length and a half to spare over runner-up Petrouchka (More Than Ready). Prepared by Michael Grantham, Luvnwar had previously won over 1400m at Belmont, having finished runner-up on her Australian debut over 1200m. The daughter of War Decree is raced by Peters Investments Pty Ltd and was purchased privately out of New Zealand by Liam Peters Byerley Bloodstock on behalf of his grandfather Bob, after finishing third in the Gr.3 Barneswood Farms Stakes (1400m) for trainer Terri Rae in October last year. In an open contest, Luvnwar was sent out $4.40 equal favourite and flew the gates from barrier 3 under jockey Patrick Carbery before finding the box seat in third. Angled into the clear soon after straightening, Luvwar found the front a shade too early but was strong to the line as she comfortably saw out the mile. “She does everything right, the way she jumps and puts herself into position is good and we were lucky with the barrier (3). She got a nice run through and it was good to see her get the 1600m,” Bob Peters said. “When he was well into the straight, he still hadn’t moved on her and I thought ‘that’s good’ but then she hit the front probably a little too soon and I saw those others coming down the outside but she fought on well, so that was good to see.” Trainer Michael Grantham enjoyed a treble on the day, including a double in the Peters silks. “It has taken us a while to learn what is going on and the different tracks Michael has got, but he listens and he does a good job,” Peters said. The prominent owner was pleased for his grandson Liam who did the deal on the filly he identified in New Zealand’s South Island. “He is the one who found this horse. I didn’t know anything about it and he came to me with it and it was good to see,” Peters said. “A lot of people think he only acts for me, but he can act for other people as well. That’s what his job is, so I am quite happy if they want to leave him to find them for me.” By Inglewood Stud stallion War Decree, who has enjoyed plenty of headlines care of his Queensland Derby-winning son Warmonger (NZ), Luvnwar is out of the Pins mare Pretty Women. The filly is a half-sister to Listed winner Chokito (NZ) (Vespa) and was originally purchased by Sam and Hana Beatson’s Riversley Park for $22,500 at the 2022 New Zealand Bloodstock Book 2 Sale. Luvnwar has now won three of her six career starts with a further two placings. View the full article

The Ben, Will & JD Hayes-trained Crosshaven (Smart Missile) recorded the seventh win of his career after closing late to land the Country Achiever Shane Fliedner (1100m) at Flemington on Saturday. The son of Smart Missile was patiently handled by Luke Currie before navigating a path closest to the fence, scoring his first win since his triumph in the Gr.3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1400m) back in November 2022. With the rail out 11 metres and the fresher ground out wide, Crosshaven defied his inside draw to score at odds of $17. The Karaka graduate has now advanced his career earnings to A$1,118,103, with the Lindsay Park team showing their training nous to help the six-year-old gelding get back to the winner’s circle. “Ben (Hayes) said he gave him a jump this morning and got his mind on the job,” Currie said. “He jumped okay, and I was happy to just let that speed go, thinking that everything would come out (towards the outside fence). “I just held him up until the furlong and then he found clear air and he burst through and was strong. “If you end up going back to the inside, there is plenty of room there and I thought the track is a bit more even than it looks like it is racing but he has done a good job to go back to the inside and win from there.” Bred by Auckland-based Daniel Nakhle, the five-year-old gelding is one of five winners from as many to race out the Group Two winner Irish Colleen (NZ) (Shinko King) , who Nakhle had purchased for just $8,500 at the 2005 NZB National Weanling Sale and enjoyed racing with father Elias. Crosshaven is closely related to Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) winner Crocetti (NZ) (Zacinto), who is out of his O’Reilly half-sister Gracehill (NZ). An $80,000 yearling graduate of Haunui Farm’s 2019 Karaka Book 1 draft, Crosshaven was initially passed in before selling to Lindsay Park with Nakhle retaining a share. Now the winner of seven of his 44 starts, Crosshaven has also been placed on nine occasions. View the full article

The Listed Team Wealleans Tauranga Classic (1600m) produced one of the most popular winners in its 44-year history with Saturday’s black-type breakthrough by local mare Casino Princess (NZ) (Casino Prince). The highly talented five-year-old is trained at the track by the 92-year-old Cliff Goss, who also shares ownership with his close friend Darryl Heaphy. Saturday’s $80,000 fillies and mares’ feature was the first black-type appearance for Casino Princess and clearly her toughest test yet. She had risen through the grades with four wins and four placings in her promising 10-start career, culminating in a last-start Rating 75 success over 1560m at Rotorua on May 11. Casino Princess was ridden for the first time on Saturday by Jasmine Fawcett, who was well aware that the Tauranga track was favouring horses racing on or near the lead and close to the inside rail. Fawcett saw renowned front-runner Wessex (NZ) (Turn Me Loose) as the biggest danger under that pattern, so she drove Casino Princess forward from her wide draw of gate 10. Casino Princess took up a position on the outside of Wessex by the time the field turned out of the back straight, and she kept that rival squarely in her sights coming down the side of the track. Fawcett made her move just before the home turn, sprinting past Wessex and taking a clear lead as she swung into the straight. Casino Princess quickened smartly and shot clear. The favourite Malt Time (Adelaide) produced a strong late run from well back in the field and chased bravely down the straight, but Casino Princess was well out of reach and swept to victory by two and a half lengths. Malt Time edged out Wessex for second by a long head, with more than four lengths back to the rest of the field. “I was a bit concerned about Wessex getting too far in front on this track today, so I decided to take the initiative and go forward to sit outside her,” Fawcett said. “Cliff Goss sounded pretty confident when I spoke to him before the race, so I knew that she would be right in it if I could get her the right run. “She’s probably one of the most beautiful fillies I’ve ever ridden and she won very well today.” Casino Princess has now had 11 starts for five wins, four placings and $110,610 in prize-money. The daughter of Casino Prince is providing another shot at the big-race spotlight for Goss, whose rapid rise through the ranks with the super-talented Gold Watch (NZ) (Swiss Ace) was cruelly cut short by his breakdown in the Gr.2 Rich Hill Mile (1600m) in January of 2022. It has not always been smooth sailing either with Casino Princess, who won three of her first four starts but then bled last spring and was off the scene for almost six months. “That was a beautiful win today,” Goss said. “Especially winning a stakes race – you know, they’re very hard to win. But I suppose she was a horse that could do it, and she proved it today. “Jasmine was caught a bit wide from that draw and had to go forward, but that didn’t worry us at all. “We were very happy with her going into this race, despite the (42-day) gap between runs. She gallops once a week on a Wednesday, and I certainly thought her gallop on Wednesday of this week was a winning gallop. “It’s so important to get black-type for a filly or mare, so this is very good.” View the full article

Tauranga horseman Antony Fuller has been chasing a victory in the Seeka Kiwifruit Cup (2100m) for several years, and his talented stayer Khan Hunter (NZ) (Mongolian Khan) got the job done in style on Saturday at his home course. A son of Mongolian Khan, Khan Hunter earned his breakthrough success in a maiden highweight over 2100m in March 2022, and he has come a long way since that victory highlighted by a standout season this term. He won a competitive Dunstan Horsefeeds Stayers’ Championship Qualifier (2100m) in November, before finishing a narrow second to Trust In You (NZ) (Sweynesse) in the Gr.3 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2400m) and fourth in the Gr.2 Avondale Cup (2400m) through the summer period. Fuller spelled the six-year-old after he finished 13th in the Gr.2 Auckland Cup (3200m), but brought him back into work with designs on winning Saturday’s race, where he flew slightly under the radar rated a $7.80 fourth-favourite. In the hands of apprentice jockey Maria Sanson who brought his topweight down to 57kg, Khan Hunter bounced the gates and was sent straight to the front, while $2.90 race-favourite Blue Sky At Night (NZ) (Shamexpress) sat just worse than midfield in fifth. Khan Hunter travelled strongly along the back straight and his lead began to extend at the 800m, opening up the field who began to chase turning for home. The main danger in Blue Sky At Night loomed up strongly nearing the 300m, but Khan Hunter still had plenty left in the tank as he powered away under little pressure by 3 ¾ lengths. Fuller, who has twice run fourth in the Kiwifruit Cup with former Auckland Cup winner Roger That (NZ) (Shinko King), was delighted to pick up the local feature. “I wanted this race, I’ve tried to win it for years and I thought I had a horse that could do it, so we’ll have a go,” he said. “At the 800m I was thinking he’s only had a 1300m sprint since he last raced, and if he had had more racing it wouldn’t have worried me, but she (Sanson) knows him. He probably annoyed her around at the start so she thought, take this. “I looked at the track on Thursday and I couldn’t possibly see any advantage to coming out wide, and we haven’t had any rain since then. So, all I said to her to her before the race was ‘don’t go wide’. “This was the only one we brought him back for, whether or not he races again this winter we’ll wait and see. Summer is the aim, but I won’t say no and there is the Taumarunui Cup.” Sanson’s summer had been restricted by injury which caused her to miss the ride in the Dunstan Qualifier, however she was delighted to reunite with the gelding for their fourth win as a combination in 12 starts. “His last win when Triston (Moodley) rode him, I had broken my ankle two days prior and missed out on the ride so it’s nice to get back on him today and win a race,” she said. “He was just an arrogant prick in the prelim, so I thought bugger you, go to the front and keep going. “I was travelling really strongly down the back and I know Antony always has his stayers really fit, so I thought if they can catch me they’re doing really well. “My first win on him was on a bottomless heavy track and we thought maybe that was what he was limited too, but he ran second on New Year’s Day on a good track so he might be able to go on with it into the spring. The world’s his oyster really.” Bred by Debbie and Peter Seebeck, Khan Hunter was initially purchased for $130,000 out of Windsor Park Stud’s draft at the 2019 National Yearling Sales at Karaka. His first victory was in the care of Shaune Ritchie and Colm Murray, who then sold him via gavelhouse.com for $9,500 to current owners Fuller and Gene and Barb Jacobson. Saturday’s victory saw his stakes earnings near $220,000, with six wins in 37 starts. View the full article

What Cranbourne Races Where Cranbourne Turf Club – 50 Grant St, Cranbourne VIC 3977 When Sunday, June 23, 2024 First Race 5:15pm AEST Visit Dabble Horse racing in Victoria heads to Cranbourne on Sunday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race meeting set down for decision. Despite clear skies on the agenda, the track will likely remain a Soft 6 due to the cold conditions in the regions, while the rail sticks to its true position the entire circuit. Action from Cranbourne is set to commence at 12:15pm AEST. Best Bet at Cranbourne: Muktamil Muktamil caught the eye when finishing third on Australian debut at Pakenham over 1400m when missing in a three-way photo finish. The son of Sea The Stars will derive great benefit from that outing and stepping up to the 1600m looks ideal for the import. Having placed over 2011m at Sandown Park in the UK, the mile looks perfect for the four-year-old to break his maiden at the sixth time of asking. From barrier three, Luke Currie will likely have Muktamil stalking the speed, and when asked for the ultimate effort, he should prove too strong late. Best Bet Race 2 – #4 Muktamil (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: Luke Currie (59.5kg) +150 with PlayUp Next Best at Cranbourne: Russian Bobshark Russian Bobshark looks well-placed to bring up a second career win at his fourth start as he returns to the Cranbourne 1000m. A debut winner at the track and trip, the son of Russian Revolution went to Sandown and chased home the classy Oak Hill, before finishing third at the Cranbourne 1000m on May 31. John Allen will likely have Russian Bobshark settled in the one-one from barrier five, and with even luck on the home turn, Russian Bobshark should have no issues in disposing of his rivals on Sunday. Next Best Race 6 – #3 Russian Bobshark (5) 3yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: John Allen (59.5kg) +260 with Bet365 Best Value at Cranbourne: From Pantherland From Pantherland is hard to catch, but his last two starts suggests he is right in a race like this Restricted BM64 on Sunday. The Ready For Victory progeny was a smart winner two starts back at the Cranbourne 1300m before catching the eye when storming home at Geelong when finishing fourth, beaten by a length. He is undefeated through two goes at the Cranbourne 1300m, and in what looks set to be a genuinely run affair the race sets up perfectly for From Pantherland to storm home down the heart of the track and give us a run for our money at a nice each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 8 – #1 From Pantherland (8) 5yo Gelding | T: Ken & Kasey Keys | J: Patrick Moloney (60kg) +1400 with Neds Sunday quaddie tips for Cranbourne races Cranbourne quadrella selections Sunday, June 23, 2024 1-2-3-10 2-3 1-3-9-10 1-2-5-6-16 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips

The talents of Jay Bee Gee (NZ) (Complacent) and his Hunterville owner-trainer Adrian Bull were clear for all to see at Riccarton on Saturday with a remarkable first-up victory in the Greenwood Amberley Cup (1600m). The Amberley Cup was Jay Bee Gee’s first raceday appearance for 217 days. He was last seen during the New Zealand Cup Carnival at the same venue last November, where he finished eighth in the Listed Metropolitan Trophy (2600m) and 17th in the Gr.3 New Zealand Cup (3200m). Bull gave the six-year-old two trials to prepare him for his return to racing in Saturday’s $40,000 open handicap, running third over 850m at Foxton on May 28 and winning a 1200m heat at Waverley a week later. Punters expected a bold showing from Jay Bee Gee in a fresh state on Saturday and sent him out as the hottest favourite of the day at $2.40, and he did not let them down. Rider Kelly Myers positioned Jay Bee Gee in second as Leitrim Lad (NZ) (Tavistock) set the pace. Jay Bee Gee was travelling easily coming up to the home turn, and he cruised up alongside the leader at the top of the straight. Myers pushed the button with about 300m remaining and Jay Bee Gee quickly took command, pulling away from his six rivals to score an emphatic three-length victory. Jay Bee Gee was bought by Bull’s son Harry for $26,000 at Karaka in 2019. The son of Complacent has now had 19 starts for five wins, four placings and $111,885 in prize-money. Jay Bee Gee has proven himself to be particularly effective over Saturday’s distance of 1600m, recording four wins and two placings from nine attempts at that trip. Bull may now give him a feature-race assignment over the same course and distance in the Gr.3 Winning Edge Presentations Winter Cup (1600m) on August 3, for which the TAB has put him on the second line of favouritism at $10. He shares that quote with Spencer (NZ) (Derryn), while the favourite Justaskme (NZ) (No Excuse Needed) is narrowly ahead of that pair at $8. Saturday’s Amberley Cup also marked a welcome return to Riccarton for Myers, who is a three-time winner of the New Zealand Cup. She took out the time-honoured staying test aboard the Bull-trained Mungo Jerry (NZ) (Don Eduardo) in 2014, along with victories on Hoorang (NZ) (Zerpour) (2008) and Pump Up The Volume (NZ) (Savabeel) (2016). Her 60 winning rides at Riccarton also include the 2012 edition of the Gr.2 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile (1600m) with the Bull-trained Nashville (NZ) (Darci Brahma). “When Adrian asked me to come down here today, I was very happy to make the trip,” Myers said. “It’s been a long time since I’ve ridden here, but it’s still one of my favourite tracks. “He won very nicely today. I was a little bit worried coming into it, with him being fresh up on a very testing track, but he was just too good for them.” View the full article

A win at the South Island’s flagship racecourse was one of the only things missing from the CV of accomplished Winton galloper Midnight Runner (NZ) (Jimmy Choux), and the nine-year-old ticked that box with a barnstorming come-from-behind performance in Saturday’s Daphne Bannan Memorial (1200m) at Riccarton. Midnight Runner was already a 10-race winner before Saturday’s $40,000 sprint feature. He began his career with five wins in the North Island, then ventured south in 2020 and has since added victories at Gore, Riverton, Ascot Park, Oamaru, and back at Riverton two starts ago on May 10. His nine previous starts at Riccarton had produced only two placings, but he turned that record around in style on Saturday. Midnight Runner was ridden by 3kg claimer Ruvanesh Muniandy, who settled well back in third-last as La Bella Nera (NZ) (Sweynesse) and Miss Harley Quinn (NZ) (Natural Destiny) set only a moderate speed out in front. They were pursued by The Good Shepherd (NZ) (Power), Blue Vein (NZ) (Shamexpress) and Street Fightin Man (NZ) (Pure Champion), who fanned across the track at the top of the straight and looked like having the finish to themselves as they surged past the leaders. But then Midnight Runner roared home from the back of the field, bursting to the front in the final 50m and kicking away to win by half a length. “He ran really well,” said Muniandy, who has now ridden Midnight Runner to two wins from just three rides. “His last 600m were very good and he won the race easily in the end.” Midnight Runner’s 64-start career has now produced 11 wins, 18 seconds and eight thirds, earning $298,394 in stakes. The Jimmy Choux gelding is trained by John Phillips, who shares ownership as part of a family syndicate that also includes his son Shane. “That was very good,” Shane Phillips said. “After that win at Riverton last month, we had a bit of confidence coming into this race today. It’s my first win as an owner here at Riccarton, so it means a lot.” View the full article

Sam Spratt’s ability to control races from the front has been no secret this season, and she was at her very best early at Tauranga with a top ride aboard promising three-year-old Did The Trick (NZ) (Iffraaj). Spratt had been aboard the Wayne Hillis-trained gelding at each of his four starts prior to Saturday’s Gartshore Construction 3YO (1300m), and adopting front-running tactics in the most recent effort at Taupo helped him secured a breakthrough maiden success. Stepping into open age-group company at Tauranga, Did The Trick was rated an $8.20 chance to go back-to-back with Spratt on board, while smart filly Cornelia (NZ) (Swiss Ace) topped the market at $2.80 ahead of last-start winner Bella Voce (Fastnet Rock) ($3.60). Did The Trick burst away from barrier three and took up an uncontested lead, with Spratt controlling the tempo as she pleased ahead of Hanalei Star (NZ) (Darci Brahma). The remainder of the field were left chasing on the home turn as the leading pair snuck away by a decent margin, and Did The Trick never looked in doubt as he powered clear to score by 3 ¼ lengths. Cornelia finished creditably into second with a strong finish in the testing conditions, with Hanalei Star and another late-finisher in Swycho (NZ) (Echoes of Heaven) separated by a nose to complete the first-four. “I was always going to be there, I thought Alexander’s horse (Cornelia) might kick up a bit but it didn’t, so I got a pretty easy lead,” Spratt said. Jockey Sam Spratt. Photo: Trish Dunell “He kicked away really nicely and he’s putting it together, it was good.” Matamata-based Hillis prepares Did The Trick for Evans Breeding Ltd, with the late Emma Evans breeding the son of Iffraaj out of her Don Eduardo mare Nailed It (NZ). A winner of nine races, Nailed It has produced one other foal to race in Itsashame (NZ), a son of Shamexpress who trialled three times in New Zealand before being sold to Macau, where he has been successful in two of six starts. Two races later at Tauranga, another impressive front-running victor in Martell (NZ) (El Roca) was successful in the hands of Spratt, securing the fifth win of his 14-start career for Jim Collett and owner-breeder Gerry Harvey of New Zealand Thoroughbred Holdings. She later collected her third winning ride on the card aboard Murray Garrett’s Impaired Vision (NZ) (Rock ‘N’ Pop), saluting in the Waikato/BOP Racehorse Owners Maiden (2100m). The early treble boosted Spratt’s season tally to 63 with eight stakes winners, her leading overall total since the 2015/16 season. View the full article

What Sha Tin Races Where Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong When Sunday, June 23, 2024 First Race 4pm HKT (6pm AEST) Visit Dabble Hong Kong racing returns to Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon, with the Group 3 Premier Cup (1400m) and Group 3 Premier Plate (1800m) sharing top billing on a bumper 11-race program. The rail is in the A position the entire circuit, and with no significant rainfall expected to hit the course proper in the lead-up, punters can anticipate a Good 4 surface. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 4pm local time. Premier Cup Tip: Mugen Mugen gets his chance to add black type to the resume after a terrific performance in the Group 3 Sha Tin Vase (1200m) on June 2. He got back to last turning for home and was no match for Ka Ying Rising, but finished off with a withering burst to suggest the 1400m would be his ideal trip moving forward. He gets in with 52kg as Karis Teetan takes the reins, and with a genuine tempo engaged in this field of seven, watch for Mugen to be storming over the top in the final furlong. Premier Cup Race 8 – #5 Mugen (3) 5yo Gelding | T: Pierre Ng | J: Karis Teetan (52kg) Bet with Picklebet Premier Plate Tip: Chancheng Glory There’s no doubt Galaxy Patch could be the rising star in this field, but it’s hard to ignore the setup for Chancheng Glory in the Group 3 Premier Plate. The son of Mor Spirit was nosed out in the shadows of the post in the Group 3 Lion Rock Trophy (1600m) on June 2, with the four-year-old attempting to make every post a winner. He gets a 4kg swing in the weights this time, and with Harry Bentley adopting similar front-running tactics in this, Chancheng Glory should prove hard to chase down. Premier Plate Race 9 – #8 Chancheng Glory (6) 4yo Gelding | T: Francis Lui | J: Harry Bentley (52kg) Bet with Playup Best Bet at Sha Tin: Steps Ahead Back-to-back runner-up performances should have Steps Ahead ready to peak as he gets to 1400m for the first time in the campaign. Francis Lui-trained gelding finished closed off impressively behind Lucy In The Sky at Sha Tin on June 2, and although he was well-beaten by 1.8 lengths, he spaced third by another two lengths crossing the wire. Hugh Bowman should be able to take closer order from stall five, so provided he gains an economical run, Steps Ahead should shirk the maiden tag at the third time of asking. Best Bet Race 5 – #4 Steps Ahead (5) 3yo Gelding | T: Francis Lui | J: Hugh Bowman (59.5kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Sha Tin: Master Mastermind Master Mastermind showed a blistering turn-of-foot over 1200m at Sha Tin on May 26, and although he couldn’t match motors with Divano, it was a solid performance by the lightly raced three-year-old. David Hayes elects to step him over 1400m second-up in this wide-open Class 4 contest, and with Hugh Bowman electing to stay in the saddle, take that as a guide the son of Deep Field still has plenty of upside moving forward. Next Best Race 6 – #5 Master Mastermind (3) 3yo Gelding | T: David Hayes | J: Hugh Bowman (58.5kg) Bet with Bet365 Hong Kong Sunday quaddie picks Sha Tin quadrella selections Sunday, June 23, 2024 1-5 2-3-8 1-2-5-8-9-11-12-13 1-3-6-9-10-12-14 Horse racing tips

What Royal Ascot 2024 – Day 5 Where Ascot Racecourse – High St, Ascot SL5 7JX, United Kingdom When Friday, June 22, 2024 First Race 2:30pm BST (11:30pm AEST) Visit Dabble The fifth and final day of the Royal Ascot carnival gets underway on Saturday, with a bumper seven-race program set for decision. The time-honoured Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (1200m) headlines the action, with a competitive field of 14 taking their place in the prestigious sprinting feature. The rain should hold off leading into the weekend, with the opening race scheduled to get underway at 11:30pm AEST (2:30pm local time). Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Tip: Kinross Kinross was a model of consistency in his last preparation, producing two wins and three minor placings across his six starts. He finished the campaign with a runner-up effort at this course and distance in the Group 1 British Champions Sprint Stakes (1200m) on October 21, seemingly peaking on the run as he got nosed out by Art Power. This has been the target since being sent to the paddock, and with Rossa Ryan set to get the gun run on the near side rail from barrier 13, Kinross should go close to securing his third Group 1 win. Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Race 3 – #4 Kinross (13) 7yo Gelding | T: Ralph Beckett | J: Rossa Ryan (59.5kg) +450 with Picklebet Hardwicke Stakes: Continuous Continuous returns in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes (2400m) and clearly brings the elite form-lines to this classy staying feature. He was a dominant winner in the Group 1 St Leger Stakes (2900m) at Doncaster on September 16 before being sent to the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (2400m), managing to finish fifth amongst the world’s best stayers. The son of Heart’s Cry might be underdone first-up, but provided she’s at her best, Continuous must be considered the one to beat. Commonwealth Cup Race 2 – #2 Continuous (5) 4yo Colt | T: Aiden O’Brien | J: Ryan Moore (58.5kg) +160 with Playup Best Bet at Royal Ascot: River Tiber The Group 3 Jersey Stakes (1400m) has been built as a race between two, as River Tiber and Haatem go head-to-head after matching motors behind Rosallion in the Group 1 2,000 Irish Guineas (1600m). The drop back to seven furlongs should be ideal for the former, as the Aiden O’Brien-trained three-year-old faded out of the contest, with the mile proving a bridge too far. Watch for Ryan Moore to track across and lead from barrier seven, giving River Tiber every chance of staying the trip. Best Bet Race 4 – #14 River Tiber (7) 3yo Colt | T: Aiden O’Brien | J: Ryan Moore (58.5kg) +160 with Neds Best Value at Royal Ascot: Approval Tom Marquand and Williams Haggas will be looking to combine with Approval in Class 2 Golden Gates Stakes (2000m). He’s on the short back-up after an electrifying performance in Class 5 company at Windsor on June 10, making every post a winner to score by 4.3 lengths. This is much tougher on paper, but with a confidence-building win under his belt, Approval can figure in this at the each-way price with top horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 6 – #10 Approval (6) 3yo Gelding | T: William Haggas | J: Tom Marquand (56.5kg) +700 with Bet365 Horse racing tips View the full article

By Jonny Turner Max Hill can complete a frustrating journey back to the winner’s circle at Wyndham on Saturday. The junior driver returned to the sulky recently after a rugby injury had him on the sidelines over the past two months. Hill showed he hadn’t lost his touch with two second placings at Ascot Park last weekend. “It was a long eight or nine eight weeks out, but we are healthy now and it is great to be back out there.” It hasn’t taken the reinsman long to link up with a few quality drives, judging by his book on Saturday. “Ross and Chris Wilson have always been very good to me, I am very lucky there,” Hill said. “And Ricky Gutsell has given me a great go and I was thrilled to be able to get a second for him last week.” The Ross and Chris Wilson trained Brookies Player will start in race 4, the Icon Mobile Pace, and is the clear top pick among Hill’s book of three drives at Saturday’s Forbury Park Trotting Club meeting. The pacer produced an outstanding second at Ascot Park last week when sitting parked throughout and fighting on gamely. “It was a great run last week,” Hill said. “The field this week doesn’t look as strong and over a mile he should go a pretty good race.” “He looks a good chance.” Hill also links up with the Wilson trained Robyns Hustler in race 3, the Margaret Dynes and Dr Angela McEwan Mobile Pace. The pacer never got clear air in his last outing at Ascot Park, running an unlucky 8th. “He was unlucky, I might have pulled the wrong rein at the 400m, and he might have been better sticking to the fence.” “He is on the unruly at the moment which is his only struggle.” “He had been racing well before that and he paced well last start, so he’s a chance.” Hill will also combine with the Brent and Tim White trained KD Royalty in race 5, the Wyndham Harness Racing Club Handicap Trot. The trotter will debut for the Whites after previously campaigning in the North Island. KD Royalty has had one trial since heading south, running on late in a hit-out at Ashburton. “She did look sharp in her trial,” Hill said. “The Whites do a great job with them and I am sure they will have her ready to run a nice race.” Hill’s employer Craig Ferguson also looks a key player at Saturday’s Forbury Park meeting on Saturday. The trainer will start key chances Rollon Summer and Zeke, who both step out on their home track following excellent last start wins. View the full article

9th-Churchill Downs, $122,102, Msw, 6-21, 3yo/up, 7f, 1:22.63, ft, neck. MOST WANTED (c, 3, Candy Ride {Arg}–Beach Walk, by Distorted Humor), a half-brother to young WinStar stallion Life Is Good (Into Mischief), Hwt. Older Horse-UAE at 9 1/2-11f, MGISW, $4,541,700, wasn't much of a secret here and was sent off as the 4-5 favorite for this unveiling. Not off to the cleanest of beginnings from his outside draw, Most Wanted broke inward and bumped into a rival at the start. He raced in fifth through fractions of :22.58 and :45.56 and began to make his move on the far turn. He loomed boldly while four wide approaching the quarter pole, but had to earn it from there. The pacesetting Mobster (Uncle Mo), making his sixth career start, dug down gamely in the stretch, but Most Wanted just kept on coming to get there by a well-earned neck. Commuted (Gun Runner) finished smartly from far back to finish third on debut for Kenny McPeek. A $435,000 KEESEP yearling purchase by Gary and Mary West and a maiden of five career starts, the Aaron and Marie Jones-bred Beach Walk is also responsible for the 2-year-old colt Lifes Reward (Into Mischief), a yearling filly by Into Mischief and a filly of this year by Into Mischief.

Following his runner-up showing in Wednesday's Windsor Castle Stakes during the Royal Ascot meeting, Gabaldon (Gone Astray) has returned to the States and will now be pointed to a long-range goal of making it to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar. Having punched his ticket into the field at the Royal meeting via the Royal Palm Juvenile Stakes May 11, the grey almost pulled a shocker in the contest from his stands' side position. Blazing a trail as the frontrunner after the large field of 27 split into two packs, Gabaldon made eventual winner Ain't Nobody (Ire) (Sands of Mali {Fr}) work for every step to get by, only doing so in the final yards to score by a length. “He came out of the race good and he traveled [well], too,” said trainer Joseph D'Angelo Friday at Gulfstream Park after flying to Miami Thursday. “Right now, he's at Churchill Downs in quarantine. All looks good with him. Everything is in good order.” D'Angelo added, “I was very confident in him. I really liked him for this race. I thought he would be so, so tough…[Gabaldon] is going to decide where he goes. We have to give him time after a long trip.” Ain't Nobody does it better than Gabaldon to win the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal @Ascot! pic.twitter.com/Yt6lYg6SAM — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) June 19, 2024 The post Gabaldon ‘Looks Good’ After Runner-Up Effort in Windsor Castle appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The day started off normally enough. Retired jockey Casey Chavez, a resident of Ruidoso, New Mexico who brought his tack and his life to the area five years ago, made the commute into work Tuesday morning as usual. Having ridden the last mount of his three-decade long career at nearby Ruidoso Downs nearly a year ago to the date (June 23, 2023), Chavez now works with a local physical therapy office. “I went there like you do any other day and a little before lunch time, we heard about something happening, like whispers of a big fire,” Chavez said. The area is no stranger to wildfires. Ruidoso was the home of the 2022 McBride Fire which left two people dead as it burned 6,159 acres between April 12 and May 7. “This one was different. You could tell in the sky; you could see the smoke clouds.” Chavez and his coworkers took immediate action, wrapping up work early for the day to be safe. “One of the other physical therapists and I watched it from the office together and the smoke clouds just kept getting bigger and bigger. I thought, 'these are dangerous looking, they're not a quick in and out type of fire.' So I decided to go home and start figuring out what was going on.” A little more than five miles from Chavez's office, not far from the house he shared with his girlfriend and their 11-year-old son, the South Fork Fire was already raging. “It only took a couple of hours for it to reach the area where I live and I had no idea it was that close. It snuck up on us. I've never seen something move that fast in my life. It was larger than anything I could imagine.” The area of Ruidoso had been dry in recent weeks and under an elevated fire risk from the Storm Prediction Center. A portion of the Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook released for June 18 read: “Areas of dry southwesterly flow will linger across portions of central/eastern New Mexico, with afternoon relative humidity reductions to 10-15 percent overlapping winds around 15 mph for a period of Elevated fire weather this afternoon. Localized breezes and Elevated fire weather concerns may extend further southwest into western New Mexico and southern Arizona.” “It'd been pretty warm and dry. Days would go by and we'd think 'we need some rain'. We've had maybe a day or two of [rain] but not much and it all dried up so fast.” As the smoke clouds continued to grow, Chavez made the short drive to his home where he met his girlfriend's son. “I had no idea where it was going or which direction. I told him we need to get our things together. I wasn't sure what was going on but I knew we needed to be prepared for this fire to go in any direction.” An incredible view of the South Fork Fire in Ruidoso earlier this week courtesy of Casey Chavez pic.twitter.com/zXXs94FRVe — Stefanie Grimm (@SGrimmTDN) June 21, 2024 Chavez's girlfriend, a local postal worker, arrived shortly after and the three worked quickly to pack. “You can't pack everything. You can't even think about trying to pack everything. You only have so much time. By the time my girlfriend got home, we had maybe an hour. I still didn't know where [the fire] was but I could sense something was coming.” With duffel bags of personal belongings on his shoulders, Chavez made his way back outside to begin loading the car. “I put my bags in the backseat, turned around, and thank God I had my phone on my because as I looked up, ashes were falling from the sky. It was so dark. Behind the house, there was a 150-200 ft wall of flames. That's when I thought, God, it's really over. I knew pretty much right then, when I saw that fire and with the wind blowing, that the house was going to be gone.” Thankfully, Chavez and his family were able to evacuate safely. Their house was a total loss, one of 500 homes and 1,400 structures burned according to a speech given Wednesday night by New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. Sadly, the South Fork Fire is also responsible for one death as it continues to rage at zero percent containment along with the neighboring Salt Fire, also responsible for a death. Adding insult to injury, a large thunderstorm complex developed over the area Wednesday and triggered flash floods along the burn scars. Ruidoso Downs, where Chavez spent many of his last years riding, also evacuated to safety with horses moving to other tracks in New Mexico and Arizona. Racing at Ruidoso Downs was canceled through Sunday. Chavez is just thankful that he and his family were able to escape in time. We're assessing it day by day. I'm feeling completely overwhelmed. We're all on edge. Nothing is the same. We've had such a drastic change in our daily routine. We're OK physically but mentally, you have to take stock. It's going to be hard. I'm trying not to think of it too much and just take it a few days at a time. Now, there's nowhere to call home.” President Biden issued a disaster declaration for New Mexico Thursday and FEMA has already stepped in to begin recovery efforts even as the fires continue to rage and Lincoln County remains under a state of emergency. The cause of both the South Fork and the Salt Fire is still under investigation. As weather patterns may bring better fire-fighting conditions in the coming days, a GoFundMe has been set up for Chavez and his family as they, and the village of Ruidoso, begin to recover.

The GIII Gotham Stakes winner 'TDN Rising Star' Deterministic (Liam's Map) will try his fortune on the grass when he makes his turf debut in the GIII Manila Stakes June 29 at Belmont at the Big A. The Christophe Clement trainee briefly found himself on the Kentucky Derby trail after taking the aforementioned early prep by two lengths. He finished off-the-board in the GII Wood Memorial Apr. 6, running eighth as the favorite, and May 11 in the GIII Peter Pan Stakes, running fifth, in his two most recent trips to post. Clocked in 1:01.22 in a five-eighths work June 14, that effort had been over Saratoga's Oklahoma training turf, he put in a move Friday morning with another five-eights in 1:03 flat on the dirt training track. “He worked well. I'm happy with him,” said Clement. “He won the Gotham on a wet track and he was disappointing in the Wood. I've wanted to try him on the turf ever since and now we've had the chance to train there. He moves like a dream on the grass. He's a good horse and I have not given up on him.” The post Deterministic To Try the Lawn In Manila appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

A veteran of two-thirds of this year's Triple Crown series, Albaugh Family Stables' Catching Freedom (Constitution) gets a fair bit of class relief while facing nine others in Saturday's $500,000 GIII Ohio Derby at Thistledown outside of Cleveland. Winner of the GII Louisiana Derby to earn his spot in the field for the GI Kentucky Derby, the $575,000 Keeneland September acquisition gave an excellent account of himself on the first Saturday in May, delivering a rails rally in the stretch to round out the superfecta, a length and three-quarters behind the victorious Mystik Dan (Goldencents). One of three to press on to the GI Preakness Stakes after their efforts beneath the Twin Spires, Catching Freedom sat an inside trip at Old Hilltop and was produced three wide into the lane with every chance, but could not run down front-running Seize the Grey (Arrogate) and just failed to reel in Mystik Dan for second. Luis Saez has the call Saturday afternoon. The regally bred Batten Down (Tapit)–a full-brother to MGSW & MGISP Tacitus–hit the board in two-turn maidens at Gulfstream and Keeneland before breaking through by an authoritative 8 3/4 lengths in a rare 10-furlong test at Churchill Apr. 30. The Juddmonte homebred was being trained with a possible appearance in the GI Belmont Stakes in mind, but trainer Bill Mott elected to give his charge a couple more weeks instead. He is an 8-1 chance on the morning line, but should jump at a fraction of that. A stakes winner at six furlongs and a mile at two, Copper Tax (Copper Bullet) added the Mar. 23 Private Terms Stakes by a neck over 8 1/2 furlongs before adding a 3/4-length success in the Federico Tesio Stakes going a mile and an eighth at Pimlico Apr. 20. He was briefly considered for a start in the Preakness, but trainer Gary Capuano opts for this softer landing instead. Grade I Winners Clash In Chicago Stakes Saturday's GIII Chicago Stakes at Churchill Downs has attracted just five female sprinters, but of those, three have succeeded at the highest level, including two at the specialist distance of seven furlongs. Vahva (Gun Runner) won the GIII Charles Town Oaks and GII Lexus Raven Run S.–both over seven-eighths of a mile–last season and has clearly trained on this term. A running-on second to Alva Starr (Lord Nelson) in Keeneland's GI Madison S. Apr. 6, she reversed form in no uncertain terms with the Louisiana-bred when clearing off to win the GI Derby City Distaff over the course and distance May 4. “Vahva is a fairly easy horse to train, you just have to pay close attention to how she's doing in the mornings because she'll tell you if she's ready to run or not,” trainer Cherie DeVaux told the Churchill media office. “She's been training better than ever at Keeneland. There's been some spacing between her races because she shows signs in the mornings that she's not quite ready to return to action. She hasn't shown any of those signs ahead of the race on Saturday.” Society (Gun Runner) took this race by 10 3/4 lengths last June when it was contested at Ellis Park and the 2022 GI Cotillion S. winner added a front-running score in the Pink Ribbon S. at Charles Town last August. Peter Blum's homebred makes her first trip to the races since a slightly troubled fourth in the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Nov. 4. Chi Town Lady (Verrazano) caused a 17-1 upset in the 2022 seven-furlong GI Test Stakes at Saratoga and annexed this year's Minaret Stakes at Tampa before rallying to be fourth to Vahva in the Derby City Distaff last time.
