Hawkes’ Hilal Emerges As Autumn Contender

Hilal has underlined the depth in Hawkes Racing’s two-year-old ranks with a breathtaking performance to win his first start at Randwick’s Kensington track. The stable has already produced exciting youngster Remarque but he may have some competition for top billing among the Team Hawkes colts. Ridden by Tommy Berry, Hilal looked certain to finish an unlucky second after Hugh Bowman on King Of Sparta shot to a commanding lead halfway up the straight. But Hilal knuckled down and gave chase, attacking the line with gusto to run down King Of…

Derby prospects on show at Te Rapa

A number of contenders for the Gr.1 Vodafone New Zealand Derby (2400m) at Ellerslie on March 6 were in action at Te Rapa on Wednesday, where $3.50 Derby favourite Rocket Spade pleased connections when running second over 2100m, lumping eight kilograms more than victorious older rival Vedo Rosso. The son of Fastnet Rock will now head to the Gr.2 Avondale Guineas (2100m) on February 20 where he is likely to clash with Maasir, who emerged as a Derby contender when winning over 2100m a race later. Prepared by Jamie Richards,…

Tommy shooting for Gold at Randwick

A will to win is usually a boon for a racehorse but at times Tommy Gold’s (NZ) (Sacred Falls) competitive nature has been his undoing. Jockey Hugh Bowman has no doubt the colt has the ability to win Saturday’s Gr.3 Eskimo Prince Stakes (1200m) at Randwick if he can harness his energy. “He trialled amazingly at Randwick the other week,” Bowman said. “I would just like to see him come and behave, relax and do everything right. He’s a very competitive individual. “He’s a cracking type. Everything about him says…

ALERT – KENNEL COUGH UPDATE

Participants are reminded of the increase in greyhounds with Kennel Cough within Victoria in the last few weeks. Symptoms continue to be relatively mild with no obvious clinical signs other than a dry, husky cough that generally lasts for 3-4 days. Not all dogs within a kennel will develop signs, and younger dogs appear more susceptible than older dogs, which may have some immunity from previous infection. The incubation period (period from exposure to development of cough) appears to be about 7-10 days, however signs may develop the day after…

Good will gesture for Captain Tom supporters

The TAB has rewarded punters who followed the omen bet at Te Rapa when backing the Richard Collett-trained Captain Tom (NZ) in race three, despite the son of Showcasing being relegated from first after causing interference over the concluding stages. Named after Captain Sir Tom Moore, the British WWII veteran who raised millions of pounds for health service workers on the frontline of the battle against COVID-19, the three-year-old gelding was a popular bet after the passing of his namesake overnight. After laying out and impeding two rivals over the…

Te Rapa hit-out for Avantage

Avantage (Fastnet Rock) pleased trainer Jamie Richards with her exhibition gallop at Te Rapa on Wednesday ahead of her tilt at a seventh elite-level victory at the Waikato track in 10 days’ time. The daughter of Fastnet Rock will contest the Gr.1 BCD Sprint (1400m) and Richards said she needed the hit-out after last racing at Trentham last month when recording back-to-back wins in the Gr.1 Telegraph (1200m). “She’s a month between runs and up to 1400m, so she needed to do something and we gave her a similar prep…
