Ruan Maia glances skyward after Changcheng Prince prevails. The Hong Kong trainers’ championship has suddenly become a bottle-neck after Frankie Lor and Jimmy Ting’s bids for the coveted crown gained valuable momentum on Wednesday night (27 October) at Sha Tin as Ruan Maia notched his first Hong Kong double. Vaulting to within a win of David Hayes (14 victories), Lor and Ting boosted their tallies to 13 for the term after their in-form stables completed bountiful October stints with nine wins each, as Tony Cruz (10 wins) joined the title…

NZRacingDesk

NZRacingDesk

NZTR are determined to acknowledge the achievements of industry participants during…

AUDIO: Campbell fast tracks two careers

Editor BOAY

Melbourne’s Spring racing carnival is a hectic time for the country’s jockeys, not just for the premier Melbourne Cup Day, but for the myriad of gallops racing around the state.

Melbourne Cup Not on the Cards for 2021 Bendigo Cup Winner Wentwood

AAP

Punters were treated to an exciting finish in Wednesday’s Group 3 Bendigo Cup as the Maddie Raymond-trained Wentwood got up to win the feature right on the line. Winning hoop Harry Coffey proved the difference in the saddle, steering the $8.50 pop home down the inside of the straight after box-seating early on from the low draw. Coffey settled fourth along the rails coming out of the gates and received a beautiful cart into the race on the back of Tooradin, who set the tempo for the majority. The seven-year-old…
