There's a horse racing tomorrow at Doomben that should be at least equal fav and is paying $10 fixed odds. Blackwoods Choice in race 6 was going to be Group class according to his trainer before injury struck 18 months ago. He's had the one run in for an easy win at Ipswich carrying 57kg. He drops to 53kg tomorrow and the extra trip is even more suitable. Blackwoods Choice is the bet of the day anywhere in Australia at those odds.

Won well too mate, warmed up nicely but gee I know it's early but I have to question how far it can go in terms of distance but it was a good tip at odds mate. I wrote them both down before I went to the races but forgot all about them. Ironically the roughie won over an unsuitable distance and the won in the market over a suitable distance never looked like it.

TRENCHTOWN Bendigo R7 same deal Lee Freedman imported horse.
He behaved himself well and quickened nicely to the line without being put under any pressure. He finished 3rd, beaten 3.5 lengths . In short, he has learned how to sprint - an important asset in a Australian staying races and is almost entirely due to the Freedman's way of training. He has pulled up well and clearly enjoyed the outing and Lee feels that we can tip him straight into a 1600m and he would be fit enough to give it a shake up. The race Lee has in mind is at Bendigo, which is a class 2 - 1600m.

TIMETABLE seymour R7 wed. same deal lee freedman imported horse entered flem. sat., morphtville and both the cups.. Since he did show good dash, Lee felt 1600m would be a good trip to kick him off in as he would appreciate the quicker tempo and would be able to "swoop" late and hit the line strongly.

SEYMOUR RACE 8 NUMBER 1 CLANGSTARS ACE
Formerly with Danny O'Brien. Now with the Mick Price yard. Had some very handy form last prep around Lakonian and No Jurisdiction, both whom are talented. This bloke trialled at Cranbourne on Oct 19 over 1190m and finished 2nd, 1.5L behind My Bentley who ran an enormous race yesterday at Bendigo. If he produces that trial, he wins.

PINJARRA RACE 4 NUMBER 8 LIKE WILDFIRE
Plenty to like about this mare by Belong To Me's trial on Oct 19 where she showed pace and dashed away to a 1.5L win over 950m at Lark Hill. She is drawn horribly for this assignment but her pace may see her get in. Stable is flying and the jockey, Alan Kennedy is in fine form at the moment.

THE TRAINER'S COMMENT:



"Belleluia is in great order and this looks a nice race to kick off her racing career. She has only had one trial and still looks a little wooly in the coat but her track work has been excellent and I think she will run a nice race here with further room for improvement in the future. She has drawn a nice barrier in 3 and with her natural ability she looks one of the better chances in this event. I am optimistic that she will finish in the first three. Luke Currie takes the ride."

ROSEHILL RACE 3 NUMBER 1 ONE LICKETY SPLIT
The connections of this bloke rang me up earlier in the week and told me to get on it immediately. I had a look at his trial and boy oh boy wasnt he impressive. He won his trial by 5L in 57.9 over 1000m with his last 600m in 33.5... He is $3.50 in papers this morning. Based on that trial he should be odds on. He is too classy and should bolt in.

Hey Nudge, wonder if you know the same people i know, i heard the owners were a little dissapointed that Gordon has had a couple of trials instead of going into a race earlier, thinking that this horse will come up odds on, but $3.50 is massive value after it's trials.

Blinker horse who is built tall & relatively thin with a good natural speed action. Showed good speed in both recent LH trials. Drawn wide here but speed underneath him isn't flash, so should cross, travel & kick strong.

NEW SOUTH WALES

RACE 3: Life gets interesting when top stables start to reel out their good 2YO prospects.

The Gai Waterhouse-trained SR 3-3 EXTREME MOVER has looked the part in two trial wins and the stable mail is good for this Falvelon gelding.

However the John O'Shea stable is also keen on SR 3-9 SOLAR CHARGED, a brilliant winner of her only over 740m at Randwick when she ran faster time than Extreme Mover winning his heat on the same day.

No doubt she will go quick from wide gate.

SR 6-4 COURT (Clarry Conners) the classy gal looks trained up for a big return to racing judging by the way she has performed winning two recent trials at Rosehill and Warwick Farm. Notable that her race jockey Glynn Schofield has ridden her in both trials.VICTORIA

MR 6-10 ANAVALANCHE (Robert Smerdon) Another of the Tassie horses coming into the Smerdon stable and they definitely don't go backwards. This trip might be a touch short off his recent trial but look for a good run as he perhaps heads back for another tilt at a Hobart Cup.

QUEENSLAND

BR 2-6 HIGH CHANCELLOR (Robert Heathcote) did well to run second in the Doomben trials on 10 November. Most 2yos go best off the experience.BR 5-7 PRINCESS QUALO (Robert Heathcote) A 3yo filly who has been thereabouts in all her five runs. She won her trial by an easy 2.5L and must be a show in this type of race.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

AR 2-4 REAL REDA (Phillip Stokes) Three-year-old filly making debut after a strong second in a trial behind Gunner Rock, who won well midweek. In leading stable and shows ability. AR 2-3 SUPER TUESDAY (Macdonald/Gluyas) also ran third in that trial but might find this a bit sharp. Both look to be going well and should run forward races, but will be pressed to beat the top two fillies I'm Discreet and Head Over Heels.

AR 7-10 KISS THE CASH (David Jolly) Has trialled well leading into her return. Goes well fresh, has no weight and is a get back horse with a big finish. Tough race but will be storming home late.

C Newitt reported at scale that in his opinion Gruenfeld was very disappointing even though he was obliged to race wide. A subsequent veterinary examination of the colt revealed no abnormalities other than a slower than normal recovery rate. froogy newitt since gelded for his unruly behaviour- sorry that should be horse gelded, tears to your eyes !!

Can't believe how bad it ran, it's maiden win was effortless on a heavy ground, UNItab punters seemed to know what was going on though.

Froogy kills good horses. Tipped this horse today against my better judgement that newitt was aboard. Not much of a fan sorry.

Gruenfeld is a cat of a horse. No matter what it did in a trial, if you have seen this thing race before, you will know its no good. I have laid it everytime I see its racing. Lost as favourite on a few occassions.
Nothing to do with Newitt, its the horse.

RUBUKKA (Rosehill R 6 No. 2) - has won three times from four first-up outings, in fact the only defeat he suffered was on debut and that happens to even the best first-up horses. The 1500m without a run shouldn't be an issue, he beat Vision and Power by 2.5L first-up over the journey at the top of last campaign. Has been well conditioned with three barrier trials, his most recent a searching five length win over 1200m at Warwick Farm. His work has been top class. No surprise to see him fighting out the finish.

Krysia has some big boots to fill being a half sister to Group 1 winners Light Fantastic (Australian Guineas) and Leica Guv (NZ Derby), as well as Group 3 winner Lectrice. She has been given plenty of time to make her debut just like her half-siblings, but has struck a pretty weak race today. Mick Price trains the filly and although he admits that she is a nice horse that will pay her way, he is cautious about her prospects of making a winning debut on a wet track at Sale, particularly as though she has shown a habit of missing the start in private jump outs. has 3 things in her favour CLASS TRAINER JOCKEY

SCENT OF JOYwill have her first run at Newcastle on Saturday in Race 2 at 2:05pm over 900m. The filly by Redoute's Choice is a 1/2 sister to the 2003 GOLDEN SLIPPER winner POLAR SUCCESS.
The filly has shown ability in her trials. Last preparation she did run a close up second to noted speedster Cortina Gal over 900m before returning to the paddock. This preparation she has had two trials in winning over 740m at Randwick on 13/11 before a nice even effort when a close up 2.5 length 5th behind Exceed With me at Randwick over 1050m on 4/12.

Kevin Moses is happy with the filly's progress and is convinced xx will get their photograph taken in the winner's circle with this filly. First up the 900m may prove a touch short especially having drawn wide however there is little doubt as the distances increase slightly she will remain very competitive.

CANALI $5.wasn't Bart Cummings' kind of horse, but he will suit Darwin trainer Stephen Brown just fine after posting an impressive maiden victory at Morphettville yesterday.

The three-year-old displayed an abundance of jump-and-run speed in four runs for the Cummings stable earlier in the year.

He showed yesterday he had lost none of that pace by springing straight to the front in the Peter Sawrey Handicap (1000m) and giving a race-winning kick on turning for home.

Brown said he and connections had paid "around $80,000" for the colt, who had twice run in Group 3 company in Sydney.

"He wasn't for sale, but we chased him because we were after this kind of horse and I thought he would have been suited to racing here," Brown said.

"And because he's the kind of horse with plenty of pace, he's not the type that Bart Cummings tends to like.

"I actually figured he would have needed the run but I think he showed he's a pretty good little horse."

Strategic Prince was one of Europe's leading two-year-olds of the 2006 season when he won three of his five starts, including a pair of Group 2 races, before placing third in the time honoured Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes at the end of the season. Referred to by Coolmore Ireland's Stud Manager Christy Grassick as "A gorgeous-looking individual, I couldn't believe it when I saw him," Strategic Prince will stand his first season at Blue Gum Farm for $11,000 . last raced port mcquarie 13/1/2006 and has been sold from stud to stud and appears to be shooting blanks but pateman has now got hold of it and training at the seaside at rockingham with some other young fillies which is enough to increase any old fellas testostoraine.

Resuming for new stable- previous report- Westbury Stud graduate Chouxmaani was another to star at the meeting when she downed a highly-competitive line-up in the Rating 80 metric mile. "She's a special little mare - she's not that big, but she tries really hard and she'll probably go to Hastings next," trainer Karen Zimmerman said. Chouxmaani, a daughter of Minardi, was having her third run back after finishing fourth in last year's Gr III Cuddle Stakes at Trentham on Melbourne Cup day.

Won an 800-metre 3YO F trial, in the time of 47.70.
Fates began on terms with the field and traveled up outside the speed. As the field straightened up for the run home Fates cruised up and took over before edging clear in the run to the line.
Future %u2013 Fates is a filly by the former staying three-year-old Kempinsky so for her to be showing natural dash in 800 metre trials suggests she's got her share of ability. Look for her in a provincial maiden, preferably over 1200 metres, and she'll be hard to beat.

Hi sandgroper I hope you don't mind me sticking my tuppence worth in the mix and you may be right about Warburg but I get suspicious when he is suddenly transferred to WA. The last three starts before his spell were not flash in fact the total preparation was very patchy apart from the 3rd at Kensington and all his wins were in the first preparation. Gerald Ryan would not let a prospective earner go easily. Also as a first up proposition I think today's distance appears to short for him - time will tell I guess. Finally there appears to be no barrier trials for this prep. Don't get me wrong I would love the horse to do well in the West for his owners but I will not be on him until he shows something. A suitable race in the provincials at the right distance may top him off for a mid week Ascot run.

gold coast R8 O'LONHRO - hasn't raced since failing in the Epsom Handicap last spring but an impressive track gallop between races at Rosehill last Saturday has convinced Team Hawkes to press ahead with Gold Coast plans.Lonhro was the best weight-for-age performer of his time, taking out 11 Group Is and 26 races in all from 35 starts, earning $5.7million in prizemoney. He was voted Horse of the Year in 2004 and O'Lonhro is a product of the now Darley-based stallion's first crop to race.

I haven't as yet rated the race and will give you a further reply when I have. However from 2 first up preps it has won and run 2nd. Despite this the task of winning 1st up over 1400M in a $500,000 race is not a pre ordained. The track is predicted to be Dead and O'Lonhro handles Dead and Heavy. With Darren it should be a good chance. There is no history of a Barrier Trial this preparation but as you say the track gallop was obviously pleasing.

"He does it whether it's the 300 or the 20 metre mark so he needs to be held up and the run timed just right."

O'Lonhro rates extremely well but not in the top two. It not a race I will be betting in because I think it is too hard. For mine I would like to see O'Lonhro have the run. There are still some doubts and I will probably eat my words but the tight track may not suit, as well as 1st up over the 1400M. To his favour he has a master horseman on his back, the pedigree, trainer and talent. I hope he wins.

bunbury RACE 3 NO 10 CROSSELLE
On debut from the all conquering Adam Durrant team. The daughter of internationally renowned sire Cape Cross (Sea The Stars, Ouija Board, Seachange) was seen finishing her most recent trial off in stylish fashion, and under no real pressure from her rider. This was her first trial since May 2009, and by far the best trial performance from three career trials thus far. Drawn well in barrier three, she should get the world perfect run and looks ideally placed at 1400m first-up.

mackay race 6 INTANAGIBLE ASSET
Lining up at Gosford for his first start, Intangible Asset, the older half brother to our Danzaura, allayed all of the fears of a nervous ownership to record a very soft win on debut. Turned out a treat by trainer, Gerald Ryan and ridden likewise by Tim Clark, Intangible Asset jumped well and sat outside the $1.80 hot pot. Nearing the turn, Tim had a lap full of horse underneath him while the favourite on his inside was struggling. Entering the straight, Intangible Asset coasted to the line to win unextended by 3.5 lengths. Oh, and it was in class record time. Next start, he was brought straight to town to try and make the most of his BOBS eligibility. While the plan did not work out, this is a horse which the owners are going to be having a lot of fun with in the ensuing seasons and is a definite for your black book.

Debutante who is bred to run, being by boom sire Oratorio. This three-year-old has been taken along patiently since joining the Simon Miller stable at Ascot. Won a trial at Belmont in October for new stable when led and held on to score with no blinkers. Blinkers were added in a Belmont trial on January 11 and after being ridden with a sit, exploded to the front inside the 200 metres to win going away. There was a lot to like about the performance and from a good draw here for John Claite he should get his chance to show his natural gift.

ASCOT SATURDAY

RACE 1 N0.5 TARLASSIC
Two-year-old TARLASSIC, a son of WA boom sire Oratorio, appears poised to win at his race debut for trainer Paul Jordan. Craig Staples, who will ride Tarlassic in tomorrow's Westspeed Two-Year-Old Plate (1100m) at Ascot, has a thorough knowledge of the gelding. Tarlassic won a 1000m barrier trial by three lengths for Staples at Belmont Park on December 7. Jordan has prepared numerous feature event winners since he became established as a Perth trainer more than 20 years ago and it appears Tarlassic will be another talented galloper for the horseman. His mission is likely to be the $500,000 Go For 2 and 5 Karrakatta Plate (1200m) at Ascot on April 17.

Speedy Natalie was a brilliant debut winner at listed level in Adelaide before not being suited by the tempo or distance when finishing fifth in the Rosebud on August 1.

"Not a lot went right for her the first time she went to Sydney," Moody said. "There wasn't enough speed on for her and the 1200 metres might have been a bit short for her.

"Since we brought her back home she's worked really well and she's going to be a chance again on Saturday."

Moody said Speedy Natalie's performance on Saturday would determine whether the stable progressed on a path towards next month's Group I Thousand Guineas at Caulfield.

sunday sale race 1 CROSS STREET ( d hayes)
Cross Street backed to win McNeil Stakes
Plenty of high-profile three-year-olds will run in Saturday's Group III McNeil Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield but bookmakers will be closely watching a debutant in the event.

The in-form Starspangledbanner will be out to complete a hat-trick of wins and the Peter Moody-trained pair Tickets and Wanted will resume in a strong line-up so the bookies will view the race as a handy form reference for the Caulfield Guineas.

The David Hayes-trained Cross Street has been the subject of a quiet plunge to win the Caulfield Guineas and is currently on the sixth line of betting for the $1 million event at $21.

Cross Street opened at $81 and now shares the same Caulfield Guineas quote as the Golden Slipper runner-up Headway and the Gerald Ryan-trained boom three-year-old Rothesay, a brilliant winner on debut at Rosehill in July.

TAB Sportsbet has reported a "nice little go" on Cross Street and will be anxiously waiting to see how Cross Street performs if he gets a run in the McNeil Stakes as the colt is currently equal 22nd in order of entry.

"He's probably our worst way in the race," a TAB Sportsbet spokesman said. "We opened him at $81 and they snapped that up pretty quickly and they are still enquiring about backing Cross Street at $21.

"We'll be keeping a close on eye on what he does on Saturday. Hopefully we can relax and wind his price out after the race."

Punters can get a guide on the chances of Cross Street in the McNeil Stakes after Hayes' assistant trainer Tom Dabernig told Racenet TV the stable would only have one runner in the $125,000 event.

"We have nominated three but we'll probably only accept with one horse," he said."Cross Street has got ability and has had two unofficial trials and things like that.

"He's a very good-looking horse and looks to have a very good constitution and hopefully he can do it under race pressure and he can contest the better races through the spring."
"A BIT EASIER IN THIS ONE"

AFTER taking Victorian racing by storm last spring, South Australian stayer Alcopop will race exclusively in Sydney during the autumn in a bid to capture his first group 1 success.

Alcopop managed to rise from a maiden performer to a Melbourne Cup favourite in the space of a year, with connections fielding bids from around the world to purchase part or all of the the Victor Harbor-trained five-year-old.

Alcopop will leave for Sydney in February for a preparation of group 1 weight-for-age racing.

His autumn campaign will begin in the Apollo Stakes over 1400 metres on February 20, with his ultimate goal the BMW Stakes (2400 metres) in early April.

Trainer Jake Stephens said Alcopop had done well in his five weeks in the paddock and had returned to the stables last week. The lightly raced gelding won a class 3 race at Morphettville at the start of the spring but made giant leaps in his next three starts, winning the Balaklava Cup, the JRA Cup at Moonee Valley and Herbert Power Stakes at Caulfield.

He started favourite in the Melbourne Cup and, after striking trouble, ran a credible sixth behind Shocking.

Stephens is confident the five-year-old will handle the clockwise direction of racing in Sydney and believes a good campaign could open up more options in the spring, including a tilt at the Cox Plate.

He's got a big heart. He's very smart as well. It's going to be very interesting on Saturday. Obviously it's much tougher class of horse, but first up he's got a good record," Stephens told TVN.

"Physically to me he's in better shape, he looks absolutely sensational. He's better off than he did first-up last preparation or even second-up when he won the Balaklava Cup in a record time. He just seems to be right on target."

Melbourne gelding SOUND OF NATURE,who ran second to Rangirangdoo in his Moonee Valley 1600m race last October, is likely to attract big support when he makes his Rosehill debut in tomorrow's theslipper.com.au Handicap (1200m). The Lee Freedman-trained bay has not raced since November, but it is significant he has twice won first-up. Sound of Nature was highly impressive when he ran a fast-finishing third over 1800m at Flemington on November 3. Freedman elected to book a top Sydney jockey for Sound Of Nature and he engaged Hugh Bowman.

PERTH RACE 7 NO 1 SOPHIA BABE - JOCKEY W. PIKE

Bob Peters is not convinced Sophia Babe can kick off her WA debut on a winning note at Ascot tomorrow but he is confident she will develop into a classics filly for the autumn.
The prominent owner and his wife, Sandra, also have fillies Fromm and Significant running in the Armadale Tavern Handicap (1400m).
Peters breeds most of his gallopers but took the unusual step of buying Sophia Babe on the strength of her form in New Zealand.
Sophia Babe underlined her staying potential, overcoming a torrid start to beat Zarzuela in the Great Northern Guineas Prelude (2100m) at her last start at Ellerslie on December 13.
The three-year-old was stepped up from her 1600m maiden win to 2100m at her next start.
Zarzuela, by Zabeel, returned to the racetrack to win the Great Northern Guineas (2100m) and the Waikato Guineas (2000m) at her following starts at Ellerslie and Te Rapa on December 26 and February 6, earning favouritism for the NZ Derby.
Peters sent Sophia Babe to his Keysbrook property for a four-week let-up after she arrived in Perth. She was then transferred to Graeme Ballantyne's training establishment at Karnup.
Sophia Babe is bound for the WA Oaks (2400m) and WATC Derby (2400m) in April.
"I personally wouldn't be tipping her at the 1400m," Peters said. "She needs a bit further than that. She looks like a staying filly and is by Iglesia, by Last Tycoon.
"The Last Tycoon mares are doing a very good job at stud."
Fromm was galloped on in her last-start fifth to Sir Hallowell over 1200m last Saturday. Significant has been freshened following her last-start second to Barometric over 1500m at Ascot on January 23.

Trainer Mark Walker and rider James McDonald viewed the official video footage of the final stages of yesterday's $45,000 Mad Butcher Guineas Prelude at Ellerslie before deciding not to protest against the winner, Sophia Babe.

Sophia Babe raced greenly, taking the line of fast-finishing runner-up Zarzuela.

Walker emerged from the judicial room shaking his head at the question of whether he woulld protest.

"No, there's not enough in it and, anyway, I need to get a lift home with Scotty."

Walker was referring to fellow Matamata trainer Andrew Scott, who was thrilled with Sophia Babe.

"She's a big, green, staying filly with a lot of ability," said Scott.

The horseman knew the Australian-bred filly was smart when she was beaten only a long neck and a short head at Otaki on debut.

He was even more certain of his filly with subsequent results by the pair that beat her that day. Eileen Dubh won the recent group one Levin Classic and King's Ransom is the group two winner of the Wakefield Stakes.

In praising the ability of Sophia Babe, Scott failed to mention his own talents in getting the filly to win over 2100m in her first start in six weeks.

Kevin Algie, who races Sophia Babe with Michael Head, bought the filly at the Magic Millions Queensland sale.

Sophia Babe has a future and, unquestionably, so does Zarzuela, whose final 200m was hugely impressive. A stride or two more and she would have won.

Talented filly resuming for hot Lark Hill trainer Ben Pearce who continues to deliver, with his boutique team of young and tried horses. The daughter of Umatilla created a good impression in her first campaign of racing last spring, with a strong Northam maiden success and an eye-catching 2nd at Ascot before a spell. The blinkers were added for the first time at her last start, she drifted well back in the field and rocketed home! Drawn to box seat behind a hot speed and expecting a big preparation from this filly.

can anyone tell me about heat 5 at trials yester, anyone that saw it live or have studied the replays. is the winner a star in the making???? anything bout the other horses, were did the 2nd horse come from??
Led all the MFN, bounded staight to the lead & untroubled, started fav @ only start behind Motion Pictures. Is a half to Expedition MFN I think you'd know the horse Wink

The second horse raced behind the leader & beat the rest well was a good trial in itself.

HOBART R10 LAKE CRESCENT
Won three in succession before last start failure. There were plenty of excuses for missing a place on Launceston Cup Day when he missed the start and became cluttered up and over raced back in the field. If leads and gets his own way he will be very hard to run down.
Strung together three victories before had no luck at Launceston last start when copped an early check, settled back and never got a clear crack at them the entire race. Happy to forgive that run and going on his three previous starts he can easily win again today. Just needs luck.

PERTH RACE 8 NO 13 JAW DROPPER
Smart Scenic mare resuming for astute new yard and judging on recent Belmont trial win, she looks ready for a big campaign. She was a slick Belmont 1000 metre debut winner last winter, prior to earning cheques at her next three starts at Perth Racing Winter Headquarters, in strong form races. The breed is renowned for continuing to progress with time and expect to see a more complete package this time around. The Jim Taylor trained mare has the speed to lead these on her ear if Jason Brown elects to do so, and looks extremely hard to run down from the lead spot.

Newcastle R1 16 Salutations- really nice looking filly from the Paul Messara stable. Didnt have much luck on debut when she missed the kick but she ran on nicely at the end. She trialled in good style at Rosehill 3 weeks ago and she just looks better than these today.

Newcastle R2 2 Vindicatus- Good looking type from the Rick Worthington camp. Ran a strong race on debut then had no luck at Hawkesbury, being off the track. Trialled very well behind Turf Express and will get the gun run today.

In the straight jockey Tim Clark had Hot Danish under a stranglehold and she jogged along, finishing third but was never placed under an ounce of pressure.
A class act that trialled as well as ever. She'll be hard to beat first-up as she always is.

YARRA VALLEY RACE 9 NO. 12 NEWSTAR LASS(D A Hayes) 3f By Royal Academy - Happy Heart (12:1-3-1): Runner-up last three starts incl lg hd 2nd (56.0) Comocean 1464m Kyneton (62) Feb 19 and 1/2 len 2nd (56.0) Bleventine 1600m Ballarat F&M Hcp-62 dead trk Mar 4.
We have thought long and hard as to whether we would run or not because of the barrier, our filly has good pace as seen last run at Ballarat when she led, there are 2 horses drawn inside us 2 and 9 who have pace and could carry us over. This track has only a short run down the straight to the first turn so our rider will have to be sharp, the filly is tractable and can take up a position so I don't see a problem given some luck. David Hayes remarked NewStar Lass is absolutely flying on the track and is eating her head off, she is really solid and the stable believe she is the best they have ever had her, big call and quite amazing when this is her 8th run this prep and she really is quite diminuitive. Anyway, we will have a crack and won't die wondering!!!
THEN HEAD OFF OVER THE ROAD TO DE BORTELLO WINES TO CELEBRATE .....i can only dream !! the best red i have ever come across,

Found 3 from the trials that should go well today

EAGLE FARM RACE 1 6 GOLD SUCCESS
This Bradburys Luck gelding was found to be lame on debut when beaten 20L on Oct 31. Ran a nice trial on March 9 at Eagle Farm over 800m on a heavy track, beaten 3L. Did it easily then and Im expecting a big improvement today on the firm track.

EAGLE FARM RACE 2 16 SOWETO BELLE
First starter by Johannesburg who ran a stylish 2nd in a Gold Coast trial on March 16 behind Smart, beaten 3/4L. Drawn awkwardly but will come out firing and be on the speed and looks the pick of the debutants in that race.

MURRAY BRIDGE RACE 1 1 ADDICTION TO ROCK
Looks just about a good thing today based on his slashing 3L trial win at Morphettvile 9 days ago where he just looked superior and ran good time over the 800m. Average field today, Im expecting odds on but he'll just win

Exciting Blackfriars filly Lady Lavenham makes her return to racing in Thursday's Crown Court Handicap (1200m) at Albany.

The Mark Nelson-trained three-year-old hasn't been seen at the track since a last-start win at Esperance on December 12 which followed an equally impressive debut victory at Albany on December 1.

The only blot on her copybook was an unplaced run behind Danterina at Pinjarra when beaten by seven lengths over the 1000 metre journey.

But if you take away that effort and include her two trials wins she has an almost 100 per cent record every time she has stepped onto the track.

There appears to be a touch of class about her and Nelson is eagerly anticipating her return.

"She is the most talented horse to come out of the region this year," Nelson said.

"I'm excited to see how she performs at her second preparation.

"I think she will be very hard to beat."

Good looking filly by Lonhro who was ultra impressive in a barrier trial at Kembla over 800m on Feb 3. That was on a slow track and the Lonhro youngsters prefer firm ground so I think she will be awfully hard to beat against what appears to be a weak field

Originally in the care of Melbourne trainer Mick Price the filly had two runs in this preparation for a close up second and third before a change of direction was considered would be beneficial. The filly has been injured a few times in her career so it was great to see her over her niggles to put in such a good display.Newcastle trainer Darren Smith brought up a Dynamic milestone at Wyong when first up the 3yo Filly SALTATOR (Testa Rossa / Mimes) scored in authoritive fashion to win by a decisive margin in the NBN Central Coast Television F&M Maiden Handicap over 1100m. Perfectly ridden by top class hoop Corey Brown, the filly won by 1 3/4 lengths x Head in 1:04.87 on the rain affected surface. Staring at $3.00 the filly jumped away cleanly showing excellent gate speed and disputing the lead on settling. Then Corey took hold and eased in behind the speed to be placed perfectly in the one out one back position. Approaching the turn the filly was eased off the heels of the leader and upon straightening she dashed clear giving nothing else a hope scoring eased up in he run to the line.

The pace was on which played into her hands but after being slightly slow to jump and settling back in the field her task appeared too great when they turned for home. Wound-up through the field and attacked the line inside the final 100m to score. Will be worth following as she works her way up in distance this campaign.

He should be unbeaten, he should have won four from four, winning three from four is not bad but he cost himself the race that day,'' he said. "It is disappointing to think that we have to geld him because he is by Sadler's Wells and has a Group One-winning brother in Europe.CHRIS Waller believes imported stayer Kossack can emerge from the shadows to be a Group One performer this preparation. I believe this horse is capable of winning a big race but I am scared that he could also give one away if we don't geld him.''

He was placed at his first two runs back last time in against some handy horses, two of his three wins are at the Ascot 1200m and he has proven competitive in stronger grade.

Is a magnificent athlete that was backed as if unbeatable in strong Saturday grade on debut. Virtually took no part in the race after rearing as the gates opened, and was subsequently sent back to trials, where he was an effortless Lark Hill heat winner in sharp time. This is a last ditch effort to try and sneak into the Karrakatta field. Laden with natural ability and is the horse they all have to beat.
Cristiano, named after Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, showed good gate speed to be headed by Karrakatta hot-pot Absolute Pleasure in a head-bobbing finish to a 1000m trial at Belmont Park last Monday.

SINGAPORE R7 NO 2 11140 FELINE GROOVY B, TT D BEASLEY
M FREEDMAN
After looking like he would settle for second best, even-money favourite Feline Groovy lifted his game inside the last 50m to earn a last-stride verdict in Friday's $65,000 Graduation race over 1200m.



The well-performed former Sydney galloper remains undefeated after scoring at debut on December 13, but he had to really muscle out that second win when second elect Dittatore (Robbie Fradd) refused to buckle on the inside.



After sharing the lead with Nero (Ronnie Stewart), Dittatore went solo at the top of the straight. At the 200m, the Brazilian-bred was showing no signs of slowing down, while Thunder Faz (Soo Khoon Beng) could not quite peg him back and Feline Groovy, was already under the gun to bridge the gap.

Feline Groovy (Danny Beasley) is repaid for his perseverance by claiming Dittatore (Robbie Fradd) right on the line.


But all credit to Beasley for not giving up as Feline Groovy kept battling away and with 50m left, he suddenly sprouted wings to put his nose down where it mattered to score by a short head from Dittatore. Thunder Faz weakened late to take third spot, 1 ¼ lengths away.



Winning trainer Michael Freedman could breathe easier following that close shave, adding he would surely improve with distance.



"It was a gutsy effort for him to race second-up with 58kg and being caught wide and still win the way he did as he's probably more of a 1400m-1600m horse," said Freedman, who finished third on the trainer's log last year.



"He didn't have an ideal preparation but he ran well on Polytrack first-up, and as he was eligible for the Graduation conditions, we set him for this race, but he's probably looking for more ground now.



"He's won over 1550m on a soft track at Randwick. I can't wait to see him over the mile here as he will probably appreciate the softer tempo and make full use of that long acceleration he has.



"I don't have any grandiose plans with him at this stage. Just take him through his grades and we'll see."



Beasley, who was at the double to top the jockey's table for the day, said Feline Groovy was a horse he had a special interest in through his close parentage to a horse he knew from Sydney.



"I knew his family well as he's a full-brother to Buzzy Henry, a very good horse trained by Gai Waterhouse back in Sydney," said Beasley.



"When you check his past record, you'll realise he was never beaten further than 1 ¼ lengths. So he is obviously a serious horse.



"There is not much of him and all credit to Michael for having given him two perfect races at this stage.



"I thought Thunder Faz would get the leader and I'd get into it but he faded and I had to do it all alone."



Beasley added there was also another sub-plot to Feline Groovy as he was previously handled by someone who has moulded him the way he is today.



"He was trained by Grahame Begg, to whom I was apprenticed for three years. There are certainly a lot of stories I can spin around this horse!" said Beasley.

Definite Choice was having his first hitout of the autumn and after beginning ok, he drifted back through the field and settled and near the rear of the bunch. In the straight, jockey Tommy Berry had a lap full of horse but nowhere to go and after being held up for 200 metres, the run came, and Definite Choice under Berry's urgings reeled the leaders in quickly and won the heat in 47.40 seconds.
He's a pretty handy horse this bloke and over the back end of the Sydney carnival and the Brisbane winter carnival he'll be more than competitive in a the second tier stakes races.

Larsson poised for more success

JAY ROONEY, The West Australian February 8, 2010, 7:20 am
Bunbury trainer Brent Larsson is upbeat over the addition to his stable of several class gallopers and the return to form of Hadabeclorka.

Larsson confirmed yesterday that owners and breeders Bob and Sandra Peters had sent three horses, who he chose not to name, to his stable and more were on the way.

However, he did say they were more "provincial" types from the powerful Peters operation, which claimed a third Perth Cup win with Lords Ransom last month.

"If she races up to her trial and recent work she'll run a good race."

PERTH RACE 1 NO 8 YOUNG ARCHIE
Debutante from the 'Aquanita Camp' headed by trainer Simon Miller. This well related half brother to stable mate and speed machine Darntime, showed in his recent trial that he has inherited some of the family's natural ability. The three-year-old son of Zedrich was very impressive leading throughout to win a Belmont trial, and should have no problem finding the front.

SCONE RACE 4 NO. 14 TOKYO LIGHT(K A Lees) 2f By Fusaichi Pegasus - Morning Light (1:0-1-0):
really caught the eye on debut over 900m. Drifted a long way back from a wide gate before being steadied on the turn. Wound-up strongly along the inside and flew home late to grab second place. A lovely type looking for more ground and will derive plenty from that race experience.

RANDWICK RACE 8 NO. 6 EGO'S DARE
Talented five-year-old EGO'S DARE, racing first-up in tomorrow's Travel The World Hall Mark Stakes (1200m), is at his best when fresh. The Hussonet gelding has won twice and run a second in three first-up appearances. Rosehill trainer Gerald Ryan has booked Blake Shinn to ride Ego's Dare tomorrow and the bay is expected to bounce back in the impressive form he showed last summer. Ego's Dare, who has won five races, ran a fast-finishing third in the Razor Sharp Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on December 19. He is a Randwick winner and has twice won over the distance of this race, 1200m.

CANTERBRY RACE 5 NO 8 BRIGHTNIGHT(J B Cummings) 3g By Savabeel - Belle Nuite (3:0-0-1): Improver from the Cummings yard who should appreciate the rise in journey now.
Brightnight should won the last race instead of finishing third behind smart gallopers Ambitious Princess and Bass Rock according to the stewards report.

The stewards reported that after passing the 600m, Bass Rock shifted out and placed Brightnight in restricted room for some distance, which resulted in Brightnight being crowded and in turn getting its head up when being restrained by its rider and lost ground sharply and looking at the reply Brightnight was extremely unlucky.

20/4/10 Perth racing has been rocked by a split between leading owners Bob and Sandra Peters and training premiership pacesetter Adam Durrant. The West Australian reported that the Peters moved seven of their gallopers from Durrant's Karnup stables on Sunday.

Bob Peters confirmed yesterday that Lords Ransom would return to Victoria for his next campaign but has not yet named his new trainer.

Star Encounter had gone to young Warrnambool trainer Jarrod McLean while another former Durrant-trained galloper Jewelled has been sent to Bill and Symon Wilde at Terang.

We took your horse to Balaklava this morning for an unofficial trial over 1000m. He settled third, travelling beautifully, and peeled out in the straight, where he quickened up impressively to go on and win by a length. This was a very pleasing performance and he pulled up well afterwards. We will now look at the programme to find a suitable first up run for him. My personal preference would be to run him in Adelaide as I believe he needs to learn how to win before going back to Melbourne to continue his training.

Pimpala Secret the galloper we mention earlier in the column following a brilliant barrier trial at Warwick Farm on Friday 30th April 2010 looks very well placed first up tomorrow in a 1000 metre E&G maiden Handicap.Pimpala Secret shared the lead in his trial with All Black Dan, but once jockey Tye Angland gave Pimpala Secret more rein he raced away to score by two lengths over All Black Dan who has an enormous wrap on him from the owners, so if All Black Dan is as good as his owners say this galloper Pimpala Secret will have little trouble entering the winners circle.

Back in all futures betting whilst you can. Money will come tomorrow in a big way.did a bit of investigating. got told it goes enormous but they will go too quick for it and it's more a sires/champagne/derby horse.

I've been waiting for this bloke. I was talking him up on here during his first campaign and although he didnt win, he had 'blackbook me' written all over him. My mail is that he has plenty of ability and he is still 6-12 months away from his best. He should win

PERTH RACE 4 NO Race 4 N0. 7 STRIKEN
Ascot trainer Lou Luciani has STRIKEN at peak form and the six-year-old should be ideally suited with 55kg in tomorrow's Westralian Diamond Drillers Handicap (1400m). As a bonus, he has drawn barrier one and leading Perth jockey Paul Harvey resumes riding the son of Kenvain. Striken was best known as a consistent minor placegetter when racing in pact campaigns. But he is now shaping to be successful in Perth feature event company, after two wins and a second in his latest three starts. He finished powerfully from sixth near the home turn when winning over 1400m at Belmont on May 8. Striken is likely to be a lightweight hope in the $125,000 Belmont Sprint (1400m) on June 12.

Can see his infamous 'white eye' in todays rag. Looks like he had been under a pretty good hold.
If he produces that Nollamarra run he's a big chance in any of those races he's going for.
jockey Brad Parnham has chosen comeback galloper Phenomenons ahead of Revolition and Kens Double in Saturday's highly-anticipated $125,000 D'Orsogna-Roma Cup (1200m)

Parnham rode Phenomenons in the entire's two lead-up 1000m barrier trials at Belmont Park, but said a final decision wasn't made until he rode the four-year-old in a track gallop yesterday morning alongside Roma Cup rivals Kid Choisir and Escadaire on the course proper at Belmont.
"I did not make up my mind until this morning," Parnham said yesterday. "He worked along with Kid Choisir and Escadaire and they all worked strong actually.

"They did evens work from about the 1000m and worked home in a good gallop from the 600m."

MARK DOWN Starcheeka as a horse destined to shine in some of the big three- year-old classics next season after his impressive two- length win in the juvenile.

The Starcraft colt was having just his second start for trainer Stephen McKee and his margin of two lengths flattered his rivals, according to rider Leith Innes.

"It wasn't a great field that he beat but if something had come up alongside him he would have really dug in," Innes said.

"He's not really a two-year-old type and is going to be a nice middle-distance horse next year."

ONE SWEET DAY
3yoF (b) Elusive Quality - Mariah

Jason Coyle

Robbie Brewer
One Sweet Day is one I reckon we should follow after a quiet fifth in a 740m-3YO trial.
One Sweet Day settled at the rear of the field and stayed there for much of the heat. As the field neared the final 200 metres, One Sweet Day was given a little, and I mean little, rein and she towed her jockey past one runner but right on the back of another three to finish approximately four lengths from the heat winner in the time of 43.50 seconds.
A maiden after six starts, One Sweet Day can gallop and I'm confident we can get a good result early in her campaign. She was fair dinkum jogging in this trial and I can't wait to see her turn up in a provincial maiden. In saying that, I wouldn't be dirty if they took her to a midweek metro race.

SATURDAY BELMONT RACE 5 THE PENSKI FILE - Tony Noonan - again.
Talented apprentice Ben Knobel will return to Perth this Saturday to ride The Penski File for his master Tony Noonan at Belmont Park.

Knobel demonstrated his ability in the saddle last October when he won the Carbine Club of WA-Apprentices Cup on Collecting for Hec McLaren and finished a close second on Home Front for Kellie Grantham in the Apprentices' Challenge.

The Mornington based apprentice has ridden almost 70 winners in his career to date and still claims 3 kg.

He starred on his home track on Boxing Day, riding four winners on the program and recently won on Raffaello at Caulfield for Mornington trainer Jim Marconi.

The Penski File has started twice at Belmont Park for Tony Noonan's Ascot based stable, for a third and a fifth behind Challis at the mid-weeks and could be ready to produce the form that saw him win at Pakenham on March 14 in the fast time of 57.25.

General Nediym colt from the astute Dan Morton yard. In his first campaign he showed he had considerable talent putting in some eye catching efforts in a better class of race without ever posting a win. In his last effort before a spell he finished 2nd in the Magic Millions to the highly promising Time To Climb. He has been fined tuned for his return to racing with a very soft barrier trial on 14 June when he finished runner up and was under double wraps the entire straight. From barrier 7, expect him to be ridden in a forward position by William Pike and he should be too classy for these juveniles and post his first win.

The Robert Smerdon trained colt was originally priced at $10 when first markets were released on Thursday afternoon but has firmed to $2.70.
Money appeared, albeit only small, almost immediately but the groundswell continued with the majority of money being placed from first thing this morning.
Bets of $250 @ $10, $400 @ $9, numerous small wagers @ $7.50 were followed by $600 @ $6 and then $1000 @ $4.80 and by close of business yesterday it was into $4.

BELMONT RACE 2 NO 1 AVANTE
Talented 3 year old filly who resumes from a spell for new trainer Grant Williams. She has previously raced against some of the state's best 3 year olds and can include a placing at listed level in the Burgess Queen to her CV. She has traditionally sprinted very well fresh over the 1000m. On debut she bombed the start but was still able to win in a freakish performance at Northam and then first up from a let up last campaign she got shuffled back from a wide gate and motored home to go down by a short neck. There looks to be strong top end speed in this race and from barrier 3, the in-form Kyra Yuill, should have her position just behind it, waiting to use this filly's brilliant turn of foot to put pay to her rivals in the straight.

Gosford, December 10, 2009

Alumbrado: Made debut and was a short-priced favourite but looked to have lost chance at start when slowly away. Was then used up for the first 150m to go from last to outside lead where stayed until turning. Driven to the front soon after and kept going. Rarely see them win under those circumstances, especially on debut.

NORTHAM trials 24/5/10
race 1The second placed Dikkeenee showed he had improved following his first up campaign, where he failed to make an impression in two trial outings. The Jody Mc Laughlin trained galloper wasn't pressured by rider Peter Knuckey and he looked to have plenty in reserve.
Kimberley Cowboy worked home stylishly for Chloe Chatfield, after straightening for home with majority of the field in front of him. The Ben Pearce trained galloper was having his first public outing and he appears to have plenty of upside.
race 3 Like A Boom stuck on well in third position for Campbell Mc Callum, having his first outing back from a short break. The ghostly grey is by Vain Rancher out of Freda's Folly, making him a full relation to Beau Rancher and Like A Vain.
race 2 The Peter Giadresco trained Rivimac scored an effortless win in the ninth heat of the morning, when having just his second lifetime outing. The son of McFlirt was never placed under pressure from rider Clint Harvey and he looked to have a few gears remaining.

Classy Verglas mare Royal Devotion looks on track for a successful return to the race track if her heat win at the Lark Hill trials was any indicator.

Five-year-old Sainthood is ready to show his full potential at the shared barrier trial at the Randwick racecourse with some of the top horses in the Australian horse racing circuit. His second convincing trial win in ten days is enough to convince trainer Rick Worthington that he is ready for the spring races.

Worthington said that he is looking at the Epsom Handicap to be his main target race for the said horse but the tune-up of Sainthood will start at the Missile Stakes. Sainthood gave way to his five rivals before doing his run with veteran jockey Rod Quinn.

BELMONT RACE 4 NO 4 TOTTENHAM HOTS
Exciting prospect who resumes for the in form yard of Simon Miller. In his first preparation he had three starts which yielded two wins and there were genuine excuses in the defeat. He was taken to Pinjarra on debut for an easy kill, he lead and donkey licked the opposition, winning by 3 lengths. He had no luck at his next outing, tracking wide with no cover after he missed the kick. Then returned to the winner's circle with a dominant win of a Saturday 3 year old race at his third and final start before a spell. His barrier trial on 9 August was nice viewing. He settled in the second half of the field and worked home very solidly late in the piece under little riding. He looks set for a big campaign and hopefully he can start it off with a win tomorrow.

This Redoute's Choice progeny having its first hurdle start put in a shocker at Bendigo two runs back dropping right out of the race but subsequently it was found to have had a slower than normal recovery rate. He then went to Geelong and held ground in a prep run for its initial crack at the jumps. Stable usually gives them a solid grounding if they believe they are capable.

In the straight, Quick Peek was kept under restraint until give a squeeze with 100 metres to go and he accelerated quickly and took a few lengths off his rivals finishing fourth.

Flemington 8 - Gilgai Stakes (1200m) 7 - BANK ROBBER Mark Kavanagh Corey Brown
Bank Robber has ventured west and north in recent years in search of group 1 glory. He journeyed to Perth to tackle the Railway Stakes late in 2008 for a fifth placing, before heading North for Queensland's winter Carnival in 2009 where he was narrowly denied a Group 1 win by Duporth in the B.T.C Cup over 1200m.

He has been placed three times at Group 1 level, reflecting on his last start (third in the Group 1 Patinack Farm Classic behind talented sprinter All Silent) where he lugged 58.5 on the weight-for-age scale, it could be said he doesn't appear to be weighted unfavourably.
Bank Robber has been kept fresh but has been kept ticking along with an impressive barrier trial win over 1050m two weeks ago. The son of Dash for Cash's last four attempts at the 1200m trip, all in black type company, have produced placings behind Group 1 winners.

Former Sydneysider, previously trained by racing's first lady, Gai Waterhouse and now being prepared in the west by David Harrison. This Flying Spur filly started favourite on debut over 1200 at Warwick Farm, lead and bolted in winning by 2.5 lengths. She then started in the Listed Keith Mackay for fillies, again over the 1200m and finished a close 2nd after attempting to lead from start to finish. The horse that finished a length behind her that day was gun filly, Parables. She was then thrown in the deep end against some of the best 2 year olds in the land in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes and was far from disgraced finishing less than 3 lengths from the winner Skilled. She finished right next to horses of the calibre of Toorak Toff, Kudakulari and Beneteau. The form around this filly is too hard to ignore, and if she is anywhere near her top she should simply give these windburn.

Master Of Design is a son of super sire Redoute's Choice. His dam, Urge To Merge, is a winning sister to Tracy's Element, the dam of Peter Moody's star mare Typhoon Tracy.

Master Of Design, a $2.1 million yearling, was sold a year after his full brother Allied Force, who was knocked down to Rob McAnulty for $2 million.
Freedman, who has trained Master Of Design's close relatives Towkay and Danasinga, said Master Of Design had been burdened with the family trait of unsoundness.

Heat 6 %u2013 3YO+ OPEN %u2013 950m

Former Eastern States trained galloper Master Of Design raced outside the leader Werd, before he ranged up on his outside and was able to record a super trial win for Clint Harvey. The son of Redoute's Choice recorded three wins from his eight starts in Victoria, amassing total stakes earnings of $93,000.

The second placed Werd appears to have returned in grand style for team Gangemi, following his ultra impressive last campaign. The chestnut gelding was only narrowly defeated at the finish and you would expect to see natural improvement with the trial run under his belt.

Both Master Of Design and Werd spaced their rivals, with the Neville Parnham duo Tarzi (3rd) and Elliotto (4th) next in. Both gallopers were ridden with vigour by their respected riders, but you only expect to see improvement.

Master of Design Something Special

It was a scene of jubilation post-race at Belmont Park as owners and trainer embraced following the devastating return to the race track of former problem-child Master of Design.

The entire was a $2.1million purchase in Melbourne as a yearling but has had a series of problems and was sold to connections that sent him to the Adam Durrant stables in Perth.

Durrant also had issues with shin soreness and immaturity when he first put him into work but those problems seem to be resolved and a sigh of relief was breathed as the son of Redoute's Choice scorched to victory in the Perth Racing Silver Members Handicap.

Master of Design scored by a length and a quarter from a gallant Sir Hallowell and those two cleared out from the rest, headed by Delta Bay in third.

"He's something special," Durrant stated.

"I still think he's six months away from real maturity. He won't be at his best until the age of five or six. We're going to have some serious fun."

Today was Master of Design's nine race start for his fourth win and the five-year-old has earned $125,000.

Classy Danetime six year old Megatic showed that he was on track for another successful defence of his Northerly Stakes (1400 metres) crown, after he easily won a high class trial at Belmont Park .

Megatic has won the past two renewals of the Northerly Stakes and similarly to last year, warmed up for the three-peat with a slashing trial under Paddy Carbery.

Albie Beckett the veteran trainer of Megatic was more then happy with the effort, suggesting that the gelding was right where he wanted him.

"I can back off him now and have him spot on for the Northerly." Beckett told perthracing.com.au

Megatic (1.00.13) recorded the fastest time of the day when he finished too powerfully for Wolfe Dreams and Idyllic Prince who sauntered home from near last to finish third, some four lengths from the winner.

Exciting Blackfriars filly Lady Lavenham makes her return to racing in Sundays A-Spec Ceilings Hcp (62) $8,300 over 1200m.

The Mark Nelson-trained three-year-old hasn't been seen at the track since a last-start win at Esperance on December 12 which followed an equally impressive debut victory at Albany on December 1.

The only blot on her copybook was an unplaced run behind Danterina at Pinjarra when beaten by seven lengths over the 1000 metre journey.

But if you take away that effort and include her two trials wins she has an almost 100 per cent record every time she has stepped onto the track.

There appears to be a touch of class about her and Nelson is eagerly anticipating her return.

"She is the most talented horse to come out of the region this year," Nelson said.

"I'm excited to see how she performs at her third preparation.

"I think she will be very hard to beat."

Your comment: Resuming. Tackled some stronger races last campaign but is still a maiden. Fitter with two lead-up trials.
Was the pick of them in the yard when parading for his debut effort over 1200m. The small field didn't help his cause as he looks a typical Cummings-trained type (get back/charge home). Jockey settled him fourth one out but had to niggle to keep him there despite a slow tempo up front. He got stuck into him on straightening but racing greenly under pressure prevented him from getting past the leaders. Held down fourth place though and looks a definite improver out of that run.

Your comment: The son of Flying Spur rolled forward to sit on the pace in his heat before finding a couple of lengths on his rivals with no effort passing the 200 metres. Jockey Mathew Allen had him in an extremely tight hold on the line. The Rod Douglas-trained youngster could have gapped his rivals if he was let go. He's out of the staying mare Vouvray so he should be even better in six months time. Watch for him. Dwayne Dunn taking the ride then off to Mooney Valley.

ascot race 7 Simon Miller has Gold Rocks purring for her return to the race track in the RS Crawford Stakes (1000 metres) at Ascot on December 18.

The flying Oratorio mare went straight to the top for Paddy Carbery who certainly gave her a good hit out, speeding over the 950 metres in 55.15.

She never gave her rivals a chance and her clash with Kid Choisir in the Crawford Stakes is worth waiting for.

Bunbury race 3 The Adam Durrant stable looks ready to hit some serious form and the effort of So Sharp It Hurts a superbly bred filly by Fusaichi Pegasus out of Beaux Art will certainly help the cause.

Clint Harvey sat back off the pace and then let the filly lengthen and she quickly sprinted away from the opposition under very little pressure in the manner of a top line race horse.

Your comment: From the Alan Scorse stable at Newcastle and did enough at debut to suggest we could get some money out of her. Drew out and settled back four wide over the 1000m dash and was forced deepest approaching the turn. Worked home steadily into sixth placing and will derive plenty of improvement from that experience.

Mosayter the powerfully bred Storm Cat established Western Australian sire who transferred to Louise Ellis's Argyle Thoroughbreds stud and agistment farm near Orange, NSW this year, has provided one of the most spectacular juvenile trial winners of recent weeks.

Appearing in public for the first time on December 20, he is the gelded Final Cut and he rocketed to an awesome win by margins of 7.3 lengths and 1.5 lengths in the seven runner trial over 600m which opened the 19 heat series at Perth's Belmont Park.

It was an effort that suggested the Brian O'Malley, Ascot trained Final Cut was ripe for early success at the races.

Final Cut is one of four Mosayter foals from Medic's Reflection, a winning sister by the Nijinsky sire Serheed to Kalgoorlie Cup fourth Chant A Lee and nearly a three-quarter sister to 1998 Perth Cup winner Heed The Toll.

CANTERBRY RACE 7 NO. 5 STRATEGIC MANEUVER(Ms G Waterhouse) 5h By Royal Academy - Crystal Gauntlet (1:1-0-0): Not raced since debut 2-3/4 len win (57.0) Withoutme, Crown Seal 1100m R'wick 2yo Hcp May 24 (2008).
The injury-plagued Strategic Maneuver has remained sound this preparation after two barrier trial wins at Randwick where the Gooree-owned five-year-old has looked impressive on both occasions.

Strategic Maneuver's latest trial was at Randwick over 1050m on Monday which he comfortably won by two lengths in an overall time of 63secs. The trials 400m and 200m sectional times were 25.75 and 12.52 seconds respectively.

The Royal Academy entire blundered at the start and was settled near the tail of the seven horse trial by jockey Nash Rawiller. The pair then proceeded to weave a path through their rivals in the straight as they went on to win by two lengths.

With a pair of encouraging barrier trials now to Strategic Maneuver's credit this preparation the Waterhouse stable has suggested a $27,000 Benchmark 70 Handicap (1250m) at the Canterbury night meeting on February 4 will be the boom gallopers starting point for an upcoming autumn campaign.

Strategic Maneuver has been nominated for a number of feature races such as the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) at Flemington on March 12 and the $2million Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Ranwick on April 16.

FLEMINGTON RACE 6 2 PLAYING GOD -Brett Prebble

Spelled after favourite in Grp1 class and ran on strongly to score 1/2 len win (52.0) Impressive Jeuney, Trusting 1800m Ascot Kingston Town Dec 4, then long odds-on favourite when resumed with 1-1/4 len win (56.0) Luckygray, Moon Tycoon 1400m Ascot M.M. 3yo Trophy Feb 12.
Star colt Playing God arrived at the Flemington stables of David Hayes in top order ahead of his tilt at the $1 million Australian Guineas (1600m) on Saturday week.
Trainer Neville Parnham, in Melbourne to ensure Playing God settles in to his new surroundings, gave a glowing report of his star's composure during his first interstate trip.
The Group 1 Kingston Town Classic (1800m) winner heads into the Guineas after a first-up win in the Magic Millions 3YO Trophy (1400m) at Ascot last Saturday week.
He is likely to have a strong gallop on the Flemington course proper rather than a trial.
"He hasn't travelled before but he did it quite well," Parnham said.
"He just had a look around at the airport but that was about it.
"He's bright and looking good. We've come early enough for him to settle in properly.
"He'll have a look at the Flemington track in the next few days once he gets over the trip."
Playing God, who is strongly challenging We Can Say It Now for favouritism with interstate bookmakers, impressed in his work on the grass at Flemington on Tuesday morning.
Loxton said trainer Neville Parnham was "pretty happy" with the work.
"They didn't give us the visitor's draw and a lot of the other top contenders got 10 plus," he said.
"We've got the box seat and I wouldn't be surprised if he starts favourite.
"Everything's just gone perfectly and it's up to the horse now. Hopefully we can do it for WA."
Loxton said the $1.5 million AJC Australian Derby (2400m) at Randwick on April 9 would be considered if Playing God performed well in the Guineas and Saturday week's $1 million Australian Cup.

ROCKY TIMES showed enough to suggest he could be a star in the making when he won an open handicap over 1400 metres at Tattersall's Park in Hobart on Sunday. 24/10/010

The Jason Clifford-trained gelding was facing his toughest task by a long way but the gelded son of Ladoni was able to come from well back on the home turn to score narrowly from his stablemate Milochello with Old Hands third.

Rocky Times was expected to play second fiddle to Milochello that was sent out the odds-on favourite and deservedly so, given he had been racing successfully against top opposition.

But Rocky Times (Kelvin Sanderson) had the answer when Milochello loomed to win close to home.

Sanderson said it was a superb effort by his charge and believes the four-year-old has a future.

"I'm sure there is improvement in this horse and he may be real good next preparation," Sanderson said.

Steps In Time came out of her outside gate in a hurry and crossed the field within 250m to take up the running. From there Steps in Time held a one to two length advantage until the field swung for home. In the straight, Steps In Time cruised along, under his own steam, and extended his lead with every stride and the only reason the runner-up got so close is because it was ridden right out.

This is a most promising three-year-old filly that will be competitive in a good race during the carnival. Just bet when she returns and I sense she'll be targeted at a race like the James Carr Stakes over 1400m for the three-year-old fillies on the final day of the Randwick carnival.

Thursday, 30 April 2009: Today's race meeting at Sale may be a low-key late autumn day but it could prove significant for trainer Lee Freedman in view of the Melbourne Cup.

The Freedman stable spent over $1 million at the Newmarket sales in England last year, returning with six prospective stayers.

All six gallopers were entires upon arrival but the stable gelded all of them and gave them a good spell.

Three of those will make their Australian debuts today at Sale with the Melbourne Cup the long range plan.

Trenchtown, a winner of one of 10 races, makes his debut in race five, a 1500m Class 1.

Gosford Race 2 No 4 at 12:38
SCHWEPPES MAIDEN PLATE - F&M MDN-SW (1100m)
Your comment:This daughter of Exceed And Excel had two starts in her initial preparation, finishing second on debut behind Liechtenstein at Canterbury before failing as favourite when fifth at Warwick Farm. With that experience under her belt she should improve this time in and her trial suggests connections won't have to wait long.

Randwick trainer Gai Waterhouse bought fifteen gallopers to the Hawkesbury trials last Monday week with her open company galloper Fusakeo being the stand out performance on the day when finishing second to the speedy open company galloper Gold Trail in the quick time of 58.17 for the 1000 metre trial. Fusakeo was ridden back in the trial, but entering the home straight he was given more rein and was quickly making ground on Gold Trail and this trial should prepare Fusakeo for a first up win.

Checked 1400m and galloped on when 5-3/4 len 6th (56.0) Champagne Needed 1600m Ascot Park Sthland Gns dead trk Feb 19. Won four in a row in NZ last prep. This weekend we will see a horse he has a lot of time for and I have to admit after I have done my replays, he is a fair dinkum horse- Milo. This is a son of Coat's Choice (Redoute's choice- Coat) Lee Freedman trained who I knew little about but Michael told me his oldest progeny are 3 years old and are starting to make their mark, including a couple of stakes winners. Pitman has a few of the youngsters and says they are all nice types. Milo has won four of his six starts and was unlucky in his last race when it was reported he was galloped on.

Michael said "He is potentially the best horse I have trained." That is a big wrap from a guy with his experience. He added the original plan was to aim at the Queensland Guineas but he missed a race and a trial and the guineas has come around a little quick and they may be looking at the sunshine coast guineas instead. Milo has also pleased them enough to be competitive first up but will appreciate a bit more ground into his prep.

"He went back a bit but we knew there was a bit of speed in the race. He found the line as well as he had in previous races,"

Landuncan has showed that he is a strong finisher after winning his last two races by close margins after good runs to the line and even in his first race, which was a second to Nuisance at Dubbo in July, he was quick home.

It is hard to get a gauge as to the strength and fitness levels of his rivals and he was ridden right out to the line by Pat Carbery, however if he returns to his form of 18 months ago then he will be highly competitive in Saturday class distance races. His last three wins were against Give Me Wings, Simply Adorable and Meltdown.

SUMMER ECLIPSE
Wyong Race 2 No 11 at 12:50
MEGASAVE CHEMIST 3YO MAIDEN PLATE - 3Y MDN-SW (1000m)
Your comment: The Jason Coyle-trained Summer Eclipse finished second in her heat, beaten three quarters of a length, in the time of 45.00 seconds.
Summer Eclipse was slowly into stride and then wanted to over race when restrained to travel back near the rear of the field. In the straight, Summer Eclipse was taken to the outside and strode out in good fashion, closing in on the leader with every stride while her jockey sat quietly on her.
Future: Summer Eclipse is an interesting horse being a daughter of Exceed And Excel that was bred to Northern Hemisphere time. She looks to possess above average ability and will take some beating in a maiden on debut.

International stayer Buccellati, a winner of eight English races, has joined dual-licensed trainer Justin Warwick's Myalup stable to be set for Belmont Park events and the rich Kalgoorlie carnival treble which begins next month.

Warwick said yesterday the $930,000 stake earner, who ran third in Canada's 2009 Group 1 International Stakes (2400m), was thriving on a bush-work preparation in his new surroundings.

Trained by Tony Noonan last spring, Buccellati ran only 16th and 20th in the Caulfield and Melbourne cups. But the seven-year-old showed a glimpse of his ability when seventh in the Turnbull Stakes (2000m) at Flemington.

"He'll race at Belmont before going to Kalgoorlie for the Coolgardie Cup on August 28," Warwick said. "The Boulder and Kalgoorlie cups will be his mission in September."

WA owner Neven Botica is a part-owner of the entire, whose wins have been from 1400 to 2600m.

Warwick, the trainer-reinsman of in-form pacer Rocket Reign, has recently trained gallopers Rosie Rocket and Gum Nut Guru to win city races.

Classy sprinter Werd will make a cameo appearance at Belmont Park ahead of another tilt at the Burs- wood Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) in November.

The speed machine, an impressive Belmont trial winner yesterday, is set to trial again in a fortnight and start in a 1000m handicap on August 27.

He is likely to receive 61kg and trainer Chris Gangemi will book an apprentice for Werd, who will be given a let-up immediately after the race.

The seven-year-old led from start to finish to beat For Your Eyes Only by 1¼ lengths in yesterday's 1000m heat.

"He's only about 80 per cent so it was a good effort," Gangemi said.

"I don't want to keep him up the whole time so he'll have a short let-up after the race and then come back for the big sprints."

Werd blossomed at the Festival of Perth Racing last summer, breaking the track record in his victory in The Cannonball (1000m) at Pinjarra before gallant performances in the top sprints.

The $345,350 stake earner ran a close-up fourth to Ma Ma Machine in the Colonel Reeves Stakes (1100m), fifth to Hadabeclorka in the Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) and second to Canali in the Summer Scorcher (1000m).In his most recent barrier trial on August 15, Werd was too quick for Idyllic Prince the subsequent winner of the Goodwood Sprint last Saturday.

Track the key to Breitling start at Caulfield
Brad Waters
Thursday, 26 August 2010 2010

Caulfield trainer Robert Smerdon will wait until the last possible moment before deciding on a start for Racenet Bloodstock colt Breitling in Saturday's Group III McNeil Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield.

Breitling has shown undoubted promise in his three starts to date but Smerdon said the stable is reluctant to run the son of Lonhro on wet ground again after the three-year-old's midfield effort in the Listed Vain Stakes.

Golden Rose contender Toorak Toff beat Breitling by five lengths at Caulfield a fortnight ago in the colt's second defeat on wet tracks.

Soul accounted for Breitling on a heavy Flemington track in June but Smerdon said the Vain Stakes was the race, which convinced him to adopt a cautious approach to rain-affected surfaces.

"I will definitely accept with him and make decision pretty late, probably on Saturday morning," Smerdon said.

"His action has been completely different on slow and heavy tracks to what it was when he won at Caulfield on a dead track.

"If the track is on the worse side of slow, I would probably decide not to run him and save him for something else, perhaps at Flemington next week."

Smerdon said he expects Glen Boss to remain as Breitling's rider providing the jockey decides to lodge and appeal against a careless riding suspension incurred at Tuesday's Geelong Synthetic meeting.

Studies and work commitments have prevented young Toowoomba trainer Ben Currie from returning to Melbourne with Rothera who has figured in a stable switch to Peter Moody.
Currie had nominated Rothera for next month's Group One Caulfield Cup (2400m) and Group One Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley but he's unsure what plans Moody has in mind for the six-year-old.Currie is aiming Rothera for the Group One Epsom Handicap (1600m) at Randwick on October 1 and hasn't ruled out extending his campaign to Melbourne for the Group One Caulfield Cup (2400m) or Flemington's Group One Emirates Stakes (1600m).

After suffering an untimely setback recently, Budriguez should be competitive first-up from a 20-week spell in Sunday's $50,000 Sportingbet Handicap (1200m) at Morphettville.

Trainer David Jolly told TRSA stewards that last season's South Australian Horse of the Year had missed a week of trackwork (between September 16 to 23) due to bruising in the near fore coronet turning into an abscess.

Budriguez was due to commence his spring preparation in the $70,000 BMW Handicap (1100m) at Caulfield on September 17 but was scratched due to his condition.

Jolly told stewards that the abscess burst on September 23 and since then Budriguez has responded well to treatment and resumed a full trackwork schedule with no discomfort.

The Jimmy Taylor stable buoyed by the city win of Barakey last Saturday was up and about and yet another unraced three year old looked impressive for the Bullsbrook trainer.

Another family member makes her return on Wednesday as well. It?s going to be a very nice mare as well as time goes on, maybe not as brilliant as this fellow but will win her fair share along the way."

Mavromata sat in the breeze in her trial and showed a nice turn of foot to blow away her rivals in smart fashion at her second trial outing.

The Blackfriars filly is out of the Key Business filly Ifestio the winner of the 2004 Belmont Oaks who has had one runner to win in the McFlirt gelding Mcfester. Being a half sister to Barakey.

Mavromata looks a typical Blackfriars and Taylor knows the stock really well and she could progress into a more then handy staying type.

MAVROMATA has impressed at the trials, she looks a big strong mare and hails from a top yard. She should sit right over the speed and be hard to get past.

Comes off a massive trial win BY 7L but importantly this is panels easier than most starts of his career. He's won first up before over this course and distance and looks to handle most track conditions as well. From a lovely gate can position up close as he's done most times and be hard to beat.

Worth noting the interstate switch. Stable know where to place their horses. STEWARDS REPORT 9TH OCT -
Rounding the home turn Rheinfels (M Zahra), which was racing neatly on the inside of Mr Speaker, shifted out slightly and in doing so made contact with Mr Speaker which was racing tightly on the inside of Bladon. As a result of this the hindquarters of Mr Speaker where turned out and the colt became unbalanced and then shifted in slightly. This resulted in Rheinfels then shifting in abruptly and making contact with the running rail, becoming unbalanced and severely hampered. Stewards reprimanded M Zahra for initially shifting out where there was insufficient room and making contact with Mr Speaker and also notified J.Winks to ensure he leaves sufficient galloping room on his inside when in similar circumstances in future.

FLEMINGTON RACE 4 NO 6 BEAR HERO $20
(D Ferraris) 3c By General Nediym - Windfall (4:3-1-0): Hong Kong galloper who capped off hattrick with 3/4 len win (48.5) Eagle Regiment, Time After Time 1000m Sha Tin C3 June 11 when favourite before final outing at home first-up 3/4 len 2nd (54.0) King Mossman 1200m Sha Tin C3 Sept 11. Favourite all four runs to date. Ferraris declared at Werribee on Wednesday that his son of General Nediym is a high class sprinter and the horse will appreciate racing in his own age division.

"My horse is a very good horse and he'll prove it on Saturday against his own age group," Ferraris said.

"I've got a very high opinion of my horse and Sepoy is obviously very good so I'm hoping we can give him a good contest.

"He'll certainly, I can tell you now, give him a run for his money on Saturday."

BRETT PREBBLE WILL NEED TO PUT HIS FOOT TO THE METAL AND BURN THEM OFF.

He then went on to rule out any chance of a $55,000 late entry fee being paid for Bear Hero to back up seven days later to clash with Black Caviar in the Patinack Farm Classic if the horse was to cause a major surprise and defeat Australia's glamour colt on Saturday.

FLEMINGTON RACE 8 NO. 1 BLACK PIRANHA $35
(Anthony Freedman) 8g By Clang - Jazztrack (60:8-13-4): Turned in his usual honest effort when made some late ground for 2-1/2 len 4th (59.0) Trusting 1600m W Farm Chelmsford Stks Sept 3, then sold for $245,000 and sent for a let-up after blocked for run and tightened for room when came from last in a small field for 3-1/4 len 4th (59.0) Sincero 1500m R'hill George Main Sept 17. First run for new stable after transferred from Con Karakatsanis. Blinkers on again.
The eight-year-old was sold to dissolve the partnership which raced him with young Sydney trainer Con Karakatsanis who prepared him to win the 2009 and 2010 Stradbroke Handicaps.

Black Piranha has won another six races from his 60 starts and also been placed on 17 occasions, earning prize money of $2.65 million.

He was knocked down to Cameron Cooke Bloodstock at the Inglis sale in Sydney on Friday.

Cooke did not disclose his client or the gelding's new trainer but said Black Piranha would continue to race at the highest level.

"There was plenty of tough competition about, but I'm delighted to be able to pick such a high-quality galloper up for my Melbourne-based client," Cooke said.

"He looked in sparkling condition in the ring and his form has been outstanding, with his run the other day to finish fourth in the George Main a top effort.

"He will head to Melbourne to be aimed at some of the big spring carnival races, followed by possible trips to New Zealand then Dubai next year."

Reed sounded very very confident on radio of a forward showing. Could win the Perth Cup , Is following a very similar prep to Lords Ransom a few years back, ran a cracker in the Railway, a little flat second up in the Kingston Town and then went bang in the Cox stakes, can see a similar progression for Kincaple here

Ego's Dare has been freshened with beach work since arriving at Grant Williams' stable and will make his debut for his new trainer in Saturday's Group 1 Burswood Winter- bottom Stakes (1200m).

Raced by a syndicate featuring prominent WA owner Elio Galante, Ego's Dare has been transferred from the Sydney stables of Gerald Ryan after scoring six wins from 31 starts for $312,675 in prize money.

Shaun O'Donnell has been booked for the ride on Ego's Dare in the $500,000 sprint.

The Hussonet seven-year-old, who was flown to Perth last Tuesday, has won all his races when first and second-up.

Williams said he knew very little about Ego's Dare but he had settled in well to his new surroundings.

"We only got him last week so we don't know much about him," Williams said. "We've taken him to the beach to freshen him up and keep him happy.

"He's a nice horse and Alana (Williams' wife) says he goes good. She's usually on the mark."

Ryan took Ego's Dare to Melbourne after his eye-catching fourth to Love Conquers All in the Group 2 The Shorts (1100m) at Rosehill in September.

He was not disgraced when 10th, beaten five lengths, to Sister Madly in the Group 2 Salinger Stakes (1200m) at Flemington before his ninth to Down Under Boy over 1400m at the same track.

I noticed a couple from the Gosford trials last week that might be worth watching. Lotsa Land (coming off a long spell) was under a throttle hold when second in the fastest MDN trial of the day. Amber's Arion (unraced) from the Lees stable looked like she was about to jump out of the ground when Gibbons grabbed hold and pulled her up for third. He must have been told not to show her up, because he almost sh!# himself when she started to get warm!!

Foxy One was slow to begin. Chomp and Kypria both over-raced during the middle
stages. Playful Miss was unable to obtain clear running in the straight until passing
the 150m. Chomp was unable to obtain fully clear running at any stage in the straight
and as a result went to the line without being fully tested. When questioned regarding
his handling of Foxy One over the final 500m, M. McGuren (a) stated he was
instructed to ride Foxy One with cover and save the mare up for one run in the
straight. M. McGuren (a) added after being slow to begin Foxy One travelled strongly
during the middle stages in a midfield position and near the 500m he contemplated
following Island Dane into the race but being mindful of his instructions he was
reluctant to improve four wide at that point of the race. M. McGuren (a) added shortly
after straightening he improved to the inside of Kypria anticipating that mare would
weaken after a hard run, but when Island Dane improved to his outside he became
held up and was disappointed for a run between Lionhearted Girl and Island Dane
near the 100m. M. McGuren (a) added after being disappointed he shifted out
abruptly on Foxy One into clear running and from that point the mare found the line
strongly. Whilst stewards accepted the explanation of M. McGuren (a) he was
advised in the future to ride all mounts in a manner which leaves no room for query.

Lady Be Great began well in her 822 metre heat but was kept on a tight rein by the jockey settling a length from the speed. Approching the turn Lady Be Great was allowed to slide up closer to the speed and hitting the top of the rise she'd strode through to lead. The final 300 metres of the trial saw Lady Be Great revelling in her work with no serious pressure from the jockey to win her trial running away by 1-1/4 in the time of 50.60 seconds. This daughter of Charge Forward definitely has above average ability. On debut she spanked the likes of Gaze In Awe and Queenian and both of those horses have since won and been more than competitive in Saturday city grade. Lady Be Great is a runner and will take some beating when the stable produce her.

"She's obviously very well bred. She's not a big horse but she trialled well and it's only a 1000 metre race tomorrow. All she has to do is race up to her trial and work and she will be very hard to beat.

Quality galloper Like An Eagle is set to embark on an Eastern States campaign at Sandown next Saturday, where he will have his first outing back from a spell in a 0-89 Handicap.

The Ross and Clint Price trained galloper is already in Victoria, following his recent trial victory at Bunbury on January 6.

Like An Eagle, a winner of five of his eight race starts, was taken East by the father- son training partnership in search of open tracks with a little give in the surface.

"He isn't in Victoria for anything special, he only rates 82 in WA so it will be interesting to see how he can measure up in the East. He wouldn't like Ascot, so I felt it would be better for the horse to take him East." Trainer Ross Price said to Perth Racing.

"Clint will look after him while he is in Victoria, we are both currently at the Sales in Sydney, but from here, Clint will go to Victoria to prepare Like An Eagle." Price added. Clint said the horse was pulling his arse of in track work since arriving

Sprinter Shock Value has been transferred to the Victorian stables of trainer David Hayes in a bid to extend his career.

Shock Value, rated at 102, carried top weight of 58kg at his last start in the Crawford Stakes (1000m) last Saturday week when fourth to Highly Toxic (53kg).

The Key Business gelding, owned by Rangeview Stud owners Robbie and Jodie Gray, has won $387,800 from his nine wins and eight placings from 27 starts, including successive Birthday Stakes wins at Belmont Park.

Shock Value's task of carrying big weights in WA would have been a further problem from January 1 when the weight scale is to be increased by 1kg after a successful campaign by the Australian Jockeys' Association.

"In Melbourne he should get a bit of relief in the scale and drop to a 97 rating," former trainer Jim Taylor said. "He should get in with a lighter weight which he can carry to still be a chance to win.

"He just can't carry top weight on 58kg and beat those lower-weighted horses.

"It is going to be even harder for a horse like him from next year because the top weight will be 59kg."

Hayes is establishing a new team of gallopers after selling off Lindsay Park in South Australia and now operates from a state-of-the-art training centre at Euroa.
The horse arrived on the Thursday the 5th of January at the Flemington stable and has been transferred to Euroa.

He arrived very fit and ready to go to the races but David Hayes wants to put a little more condition on the horse before he races. He is scheduled to gallop tomorrow morning and may be entered for the open 1000m race at Flemington this Saturday but is only a remote chance of running. There are some great races for a horse on this handicap mark over the next few months:

She was successful in the 1400m Tranquil Star at Caulfield September 17 and then was placed in the 1600m Edward Manifold. She was soundly beaten in the 1600m Thousand Guineas, runner up in the 1600m Jeep Stakes before her final run in the 2000m Wakeful Stakes when unplaced behind Atlantic Jewel.

An objection lodged by Jockey P. Harvey rider of the fourth placed WARATAH'S SECRET against HE'S REMARKABLE (K. McEvoy) being declared the winner, alleging interference near the 600m was dismissed. In making this decision Stewards were not entirely satisfied that the amount of ground lost by WARATAH'S SECRET in this incident was greater than the official margin between it and HE'S REMARKABLE.

An objection lodged by Jockey S. O'Donnell rider of the second placed LUCKYGRAY against HE'S REMARKABLE (K. McEvoy) being declared the winner, alleging indirect interference near the 600m was upheld, with the amended placings being:

1st LUCKYGRAY (S. O'Donnell)

2nd HE'S REMARKABLE (K. McEvoy)

3rd WESTRIVER KEVYDONN (P. Carbery)

4th WARATAH'S SECRET (P. Harvey)

5th TRANQUILITY (G. Williams)

In upholding this objection Stewards were of the opinion that the level of interference sustained by LUCKYGRAY in this incident was considerably greater than the long neck margin between it and HE'S REMARKABLE.

PLAYING GOD (Steven Parnham) %u2013 Raced wide on straightening.

WARATAH'S SECRET (Paul Harvey) %u2013 Tightened and bumped near the 600m and then blundered from heels. Returned with lacerations to the near hock.

RANGER (William Pike) %u2013 Checked severely passing the 600m unbalancing its rider for some distance. Returned with lacerations to the near fore knee.

KING KOOL KAT (Duncan Miller) %u2013 Raced ungenerously getting its head in the air at the 1400m. Returned with abrasions to both hind legs.

Stewards report last run warwick farm 7/1/12 -
RACE 8: TAB Number 1 Club Handicap 1400m:
Honest Lies was slow to begin. Hidden Gem was tightened for room on jumping away between River Jordan and Bello, which was taken in by So So Sure. After travelling 50m Skateboard, which was the widest runner, ducked out abruptly, dislodging its rider, App. B Vassallo, and then commenced to buck. A post-race veterinary examination of Skateboard revealed the gelding to have a small laceration to the off hind pastern. After examining the gear of Skateboard and interviewing trainer Mr G Walter, the Stewards adjourned the inquiry so that B Vassallo, who sustained an injury to his left ankle, can appear and give evidence. Livin' On The Edge pulled hard in the middle stages. At the 600m Quadrant laid in, making contact with the hindquarter of Honest Lies, resulting in that runner becoming unbalanced. Romanus and Honest Lies were both held up until approaching the 200m and did not obtain clear running until inside the 200m. Quadrant, which was held up, was disappointed for a run between River Jordan and Hidden Gem approaching the 200m and was unable to be tested thereafter. On straightening Quadrant had to be steadied off the heels of Hidden Gem. Trainer Mr D Vandyke reported that Hidden Gem pulled up lame in the near foreleg and had been galloped on. Mr Vandyke will provide a veterinary certificate of clearance prior to the gelding's next start. Over the concluding stages Honest Lies had to be directed out across heels to continue its run.

The Mike Moroney trained galloper was a late entry into the Schweppes WATC Derby and travelling foreman Brent Stanley couldn't be happier with the galloper since arriving in Western Australia.

"He has blossomed since arriving here in the West. He didn't take any harm from the trip across and his work has been up to the mark." Stanley commented to Perth Racing.

Flashy Fella comes across full of confidence after his gutsy last start win, which has seen several subsequent winners out of the race.

Polish Knight, who finished ninth behind Flashy Fella, was a last start winner of the Group Two Tulloch Stakes.

Backbone, who was seventh to Flashy Fella won the Listed Galilee final, Duel Lover won a 2200m race at Ballarat, Thy, who finished third behind Flashy Fella subsequently started in the Stormqueen and finished fourth behind the classy Mosheen.

It is fair to say the form out of the race isn't bad.

Talented apprentice Jake Noonan will take the ride aboard Flashy Fella this Saturday, replacing Glen Boss, who is riding Ocean Park in the Group One Australian Derby at Randwick.

The son of Galileo comes to Australia victorious at only one of his nine starts for champion Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien, but he has filled minor placings in some of Europe's biggest age-restricted events.

Runner-up to Casamento in the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy (1600m) at two, Seville went on to beat home all bar Treasure Beach in last year's Group 1 Irish Derby (2400m) at The Curragh and followed up with a second placing to Meandre in the Group 1 Grand Prix De Paris (2400m) on Longchamp.

Initially raced by global giant Coolmore, Seville was bought by Williams with a view to this year's $6 million Emirates Melbourne Cup, for which he will be prepared by Robert Hickmott.

Seville this morning proved he was ready for a trip to the races when he effortless won an 1190m trial at Cranbourne.

"Don't underestimate old Scenic Blast," Scriven said.

The Victory Stakes is being billed as a showdown between Buffering and Adebisi with Magic Millions Cup winner Spirit Of Boom also among the contenders in today's five-horse feature.

Scenic Blast, who will wear blinkers, is the veteran of the field at seven and is on the comeback trail following a distinguished career on the international stage and a brief spring campaign in Melbourne.

Named Australian Horse of the Year in 2009, Scenic Blast is a triple Group 1 winner but has been winless since taking out the Group 1 King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2009.

He later failed in the Group 1 Sprinters Stakes in Japan before being sent to top US trainer John Shirreffs, of Zenyatta fame, to continue his career after suffering a bleeding attack in the 2009 Hong Kong International Sprint.

Scriven has shared in some great successes with the gelding's stablemate Scenic Shot but admits he knows little about Scenic Blast.

"This is the first time I've ridden him and I only know about his reputation," Scriven said. "The boys are hopeful he's near his best.

"He's had a lot of problems and is getting older. Sometimes horses like him can get away with a niggling problem or two."

An enquiry was opened into the reasons why V Colgan was dislodged from DURHAM TOWN passing the 400 metres. Evidence was taken from rider N Rawiller (ATOMIC FORCE) and S Spratt (EIGHT SCHILLINGS). Due to the unavailability of V Colgan who was transported to hospital for further evaluation of a wrist injury, the matter was adjourned to a date to be set.

An inquiry into the reasons for rider V Colgan being dislodged from his mount Durham Town passing the 400 metres has now been concluded.

The Stewards have taken evidence from riders V Colgan, N Rawiller (Atomic Force) and S Spratt (Eight Schillings) along with Mr. JA Gibbs MNZM, a part owner of Durham Town.

After carefully considering all evidence including reviewing all Stewards patrol video footage filmed from a number of angles the Stewards have identified three factors which in their view have contributed to the incident:

1. Eight Schillings, after lugging outwards when crossing the junction between the 1200 metre chute and the course proper, shifted in slightly after being straightened upon joining the running rail approaching the 400 metres.

2. Atomic Force which had obtained a run, to which it was entitled, to the inside of Eight Schillings when crossing the junction, did shift in slightly when awkwardly placed on the heels of Eight Schillings near the 400 metres.

3. Durham Town, which was inside the heels of Atomic Force, reacting badly when being marginally crowded as a result of the slight shift from Atomic Force and dislodging rider V Colgan.

After full consideration of all factors the Stewards could not be comfortably satisfied that any rider can be held accountable for the incident and as such will not be taking any further action on the matter.



SUMMARY : Nash did nothing wrong and the interference was severe enough to have possibly cost us victory in the event.

FFarkin super ahead won, I had him down and wairakei which ran a very good trial, but couldn't remember how well super ahead did since I'm away at work I couldn't just rewatch it. Wairakei firmed to fav though and super ahead paid nicely, spewin.. hate seeing good odds slip by.

FIRST STARTER Your comment: Thoroughbreds Enjoyment (Snitzel x What Fun) is only just back from the pre trainers but oh my, she worked stylishly for senior rider Ranjeet Singh this morning. She's come back much bigger and stronger and it was a real pleasure to watch.

hasn't raced for the best part of 80 weeks but there is no denying his talent and he's under the care of a master handler, Darren Smith. This son of Johannesburg has won 2 from 5 first-up and is ready to rock and roll after two trial wins, the latest at Rosehill on May 8 was a cracker.
