Racecaller David Fowler summed up the performance by MASAFF (IRE) on Wednesday at Ipswich when he stated “Masaff looks to be going well but there’s nowhere to go” as the field straightened in the 1,710 metres Class 1 plate. “Byrne’s [jockey Jim Byrne] looking for runs … he’s going back to the inside in desperation … […]

On Tuesday SUR LA MER broke through for a dominant win at her third career start having run second in both her previous races. She was desperately unlucky not to win her maiden on debut at Newcastle when “encountering traffic“ so it was great to see her dispose of that maiden victory decisively when returning to […]

A determined effort by ACHIEVER at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday ensured that the gelding has now booked his trip north for the Group 1 Queensland Derby at Eagle Farm on 29th May. ACHIEVER jumped well from the barriers and assumed the lead quickly in the 2,000 metres event, finding a lovely rhythm and going along […]

For some time it appeared that the relaxed style of 3 year old gelding AGNELLI on the training track may relate to an indifferent attitude on race days. That theory has now been dispelled with a second determined win by the gelding at only his third career start this time at Cranbourne on Friday night over 1,600 […]

ROUSSEAU a 3 year old son of So You Think, has been racing consistently in Victoria all throughout this preparation including winning at provincial level and it all “came together” on Saturday when he won over 2,000 metres at Caulfield with a well judged ride by apprentice Teo Nugent.

Three year old gelding AGNELLI began his race career over 1,300 metres at Cranbourne early in April and worked home well late that day to finish 4th suggesting that he would be hard to beat next start over further. On Friday he stepped up to 1,400 metres at Geelong with Damien Thornton once again on board. During the early […]

SELEQUE gifted her connections a reason to celebrate ahead of the Easter long weekend with a strong win at Gosford on Thursday. The 3 year old daughter of Deep Field jumped well from her outside barrier and gathered early speed to settle in 2nd position, outside the leader in the 1,300 metres event. Jockey James McDonald asked the filly for an […]

HUMBOLT CURRENT (GB) has shown a preference for 2,000 metres at Doomben and he once again displayed this on Saturday as he recorded his third win over the trip at the Brisbane track. The 6 year old son of Fastnet Rock settled towards the rear of the field during running where he travelled comfortably. The runners bunched approaching […]
