Topgun the jewel in Rupee’s crown

The fastest greyhound in Australia became the best at The Meadows on Saturday night when Victorian superstar Aston Rupee was a brilliant winner of the Group 1 TAB Topgun (525m). Trained by Glenn Rounds at Devon Meadows, Aston Rupee started $2.20 favourite from Box 2 in the invitational sprint and railed underneath leader Tiggerlong Tonk ($15.40) in the home straight to claim his first G1 victory. “I saw the six (Tiggerlong Tonk) was in front and I was thinking balance up and do your stuff. He was fantastic,” Rounds told…

Gypsy Wyong’s lands first Group 1

Emerging Victorian stayer Gypsy Wyong ($6.60) is a Group 1 winner after taking out tonight’s TAB Topgun Stayers (725m) at The Meadows in unusual circumstances. The $75,000 to-the-winner event looked a race in two in the home straight as well-backed duo Zac’s Entity ($4.40) and Stanley Road ($4.20) looked ready to assume control from front-running favourite Miss Ezmae ($3.80), however the pair tangled up at a crucial moment putting them both out of business. Gypsy Wyong (Westmead Hawk x Dyna Gypsy), a female greyhound boasting rich international bloodlines with a…

Age of Chivalry back in winner’s circle with Flemington Group Three

The Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra-trained Age Of Chivalry (NZ) (He’s Remarkable) has been a model of consistency but was back in the winner’s circle for the first time since August 2019 when digging deep to land the Gr.3 Chatham Stakes (1400m) at Flemington. The six-year-old son of He’s Remarkable has been a stable favourite for the training partnership, which will go their separate ways at the end of the month. Multiple Group One-placed Age of Chivalry pulled out too many stops for Crosshaven (Smart Missile) and Justacanta (NZ) (Per…

Zayydani heads Kiwi-bred quinella in Matriarch

A long-range plan to target the Gr.2 Matriarch Stakes (2000m) with impeccably bred mare Zayydani (NZ) (Savabeel) has come off for Lindsay Park trainers Ben and JD Hayes. The daughter of Savabeel, who sports the colours of Brent and Cherry Taylor’s Trelawney Stud, was the first winner and first stakes winner for the Hayes brothers partnership when winning a Listed race at Eagle Farm back in June. The five-year-old mare had three runs in readiness for the Group Two mares race and had caught the eye when a good fourth…

Suppression shows glimpse of staying promise

Still basking in the glow of Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup win with star mare Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed), the Chris Waller stable was back in the winner’s stall in the opening race at Rosehill, albeit it on a smaller scale. Improving young stayer Suppression (NZ) (Mongolian Khan) made it two victories in succession with a good staying effort for Tommy Berry in Saturday’s XXXX Handicap (2400m), wearing down Herman Hesse (Frankel) to score by a neck, with the winner’s stablemate Fortified (NZ) (Ocean Park) a distant third. With Waller in Melbourne,…

Noverre all class in 2000 Guineas

The partnership of jockey Opie Bosson and Te Akau Racing provided another memorable moment in the history of the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) when they combined to land the blue ribband event with stunning Savabeel colt Noverre (NZ). Bosson has made the race his own since first winning it aboard Danske (NZ) (Danehill) in 1998, claiming victory on eight occasions, including wearing the Te Akau tangerine and blue colours in three of those victories. The champion hoop delivered a typical no-panic ride as he…
