Determined win for DEMIANA at Warwick Farm
DEMIANA and AMATI were set to race at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday but the heavy rainfall meant the decision to postpone the races was made midway through the program. Fortunately, the 1,200 metres Fillies and Mares event was added to yesterday’s card at Warwick Farm. DEMIANA began on terms from her barrier and jockey Kerrin […]
An interstate double for our purple and white stars
Our purple and white stars saluted across two states yesterday with NOBLE CONQUEROR winning for the Flemington stable at Sale and BRASCO winning for the Gold Coast CWR team at Doomben. NOBLE CONQUEROR began well and jockey Jordan Childs was able to place him just behind the speed where he travelled firmly on the bridle […]
MANNERHEIM wins in eye-catching fashion
Lightly raced 3 year old gelding MANNERHEIM resumed this preparation with a 2nd and 3rd placing but he was back in the winner’s circle yesterday with a dominant win third up over 1,700 metres at Ipswich. The son of Dundeel (NZ) jumped well from the outside barrier in a field of 11 and jockey Ryan Maloney […]
Back to back wins for in form SKYWRITER
SKYWRITER supported the sentiment “a mare in form” yesterday with another win at Doomben compliments of a great Ryan Maloney ride. The daughter of Written Tycoon began well and eased back to get a similar run to last start also over 1,350 metres. She travelled midfield on the fence with Ryan settling her behind one of the main dangers. SKYWRITER tracked up nicely approaching the […]
HARTMAN salutes in the Super Maiden
HARTMAN was a narrow second when pipped on the post at his last outing so it was especially exciting to see him in the Winner’s Circle yesterday when winning the $100,000 Super Maiden mile race at Gosford. The 3 year old son of recently retired former Champion Sire Exceed And Excel jumped effectively from barrier two and was […]
OLENTIA “a big winner of the Emancipation”
After an acknowledged unlucky 2nd in the Triscay Stakes when resuming from a spell in mid February, talented 4 year old mare OLENTIA next appeared in the Group 3 Birthday Card at Rosehill Gardens on Golden Slipper day. Her moderate performance in that race to run 4th left us asking questions and it was her trainer […]
SKYWRITER enters the winner’s circle
Moving up north to Doomben yesterday and the perennial “bridesmaid” SKYWRITER finally did what we had thought she could do well before now…win her maiden in an impressive manner. The 1,350 metres maiden victory with Ryan Maloney aboard was an easy watch in the end as the mare improved from back of the field on the rail […]
Back to back wins for MCHALE
A winner on debut and then again first up this preparation 2 weeks ago, progressive 3 year old gelding MCHALE won at Wyong yesterday at the midweek metropolitan meeting and in doing so became a “one to watch” in coming months. Two wins from both starts this time in training have elevated the gelding to most likely […]
CONCELLO makes it 2 from 2 at Hawkesbury
A return to Hawkesbury for her fifth career start enabled 3 year old filly CONCELLO to win at the same track for a second time with Tommy Berry aboard yesterday. The step up to 1,500 metres suited the daughter of current leading second season sire Trapeze Artist ideally and after settling on the rail initially worse than midfield, the […]
