Satono Aladdin colt remains unbeaten

Smart three-year-old Grand Impact (NZ) (Satono Aladdin) kept his perfect record intact when he delivered a commanding front-running performance on the Lakeside track at Sandown on Sunday to win the Ladbrokes Live Betting Handicap (1200m). The son of Satono Aladdin was quickly into stride from a handy gate to make the running under jockey Ben Melham and, after surging clear 250m from home, coasted to the post nearly three lengths to the good of his nearest rival. The Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained colt defeated a smart field, with…

Impressive Hawera maiden winner no accident

Promising three-year-old Accidental Tourist (NZ) (Telperion) may have set himself up for a shot at the Listed Wanganui Guineas (1340m) next month after he broke his maiden status in fine fashion at Hawera on Sunday. The Mark Walker-trained son of Westbury Stud stallion Telperion had finished third at his only two-year-old start back in November last year before being put aside for a spell after suffering badly from a bout of shin soreness after that effort. An impressive win on a heavy surface at the Te Rapa trials in late…

Dragon Leap pleases in Ruakaka return

Quality galloper Dragon Leap (Pierro) showed he was right on track for his upcoming spring stakes assignments with a slashing run for second at Ruakaka on Saturday. The six-year-old son of Pierro hadn’t been seen on raceday since finishing fourth in the Gr.3 Concorde Handicap (1200m) at Ellerslie back in January with just a quiet trial over 950m at Cambridge last month to fit him for his campaign opener. Ridden patiently at the rear of the 11-horse field in the Kerikeri Cup (1100m), Dragon Leap was a clear last on…

McDonald’s Agent Flies in Crisp

Days like Sunday are what trainer Amy McDonald and her husband, jockey Lee Horner, get out of bed at ungodly hours for. The couple teamed up with their star jumper Flying Agent (NZ) (Raise The Flag) to land the Crisp Steeplechase (4200m) in dominant fashion, with the ten-year-old careering away over the final stages of the race to win by seven lengths. “You do it for the good days and this is a great day,” McDonald said. “We haven’t been going that well with a lot of the others, they’ve…
