Josh Parr celebrates winning the Tancred Stakes aboard Duais at Newcastle on March 28. Picture: Steve Hart. Don’t give up on Duais for the Caulfield Cup on Saturday. That was trainer Ed Cummings’ message to punters regarding the $11 winning chance with Neds.

Comanche Country is targeting Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies on November 4. Little Red Feather Racing founder and managing partner Billy Koch puts it down to luck, but there’s no denying he and bloodstock agent Niall Dalton deserve accolades for finding Comanche Country. The two-year-old filly has won all three of her races in the US – all in California. The latest was by half a length over Sell the Dream in the $200,000 Grade 3 Surfer Girl Stakes at Santa Anita Park on Sunday (US Pacific Time) in a well-timed…

Gunstock holds too much firepower at Caulfield

NZRacingDesk

New Zealand-bred Gunstock proved to be too good for his opposition in the Gr.3 Coongy Cup (2000m) at Caulfield on Wednesday. Jockey Jamie Kah settled Gunstock in behind pacemaker Johnny Get Angry. Kah sent the Tavistock four-year-old to the front at the 600m mark when the leader started to tire and quickly distanced his rivals, running away to a three-length victory. Trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr have had plenty of time for the gelding and they said things worked into his favour. “A couple of scratchings came out…

Filly Perfectly Suited for Ashburton feature

Shane Kennedy and Anna Furlong are hoping to give owner Kevin Hickman a big thrill at Ashburton on Saturday. The Riccarton trainers will line-up promising filly Perfectly Suited in the Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m) for the racing stalwart. “Kevin Hickman has been a great supporter for a long time and though he hasn’t been well, his family has been good to us and we have two good fillies from them that should go a lot further,” Kennedy said. By Hickman’s stallion Savile Row, Perfectly Suited has already won once…

Vername after Group One scalp

NZRacingDesk

Stephen Marsh is excited to head south to Hastings on Saturday with a three-pronged attack in the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m). His charge will be led by Group One performer Vername, who will carry the gold silks of co-breeder and co-owner Kevin Hickman. The seven-year-old gelding has been runner-up four times at elite-level and Marsh believes it is his time to notch a Group One scalp to his record. The son of O’Reilly will back-up in the Hastings feature after running fourth in the Gr.1 Arrowfield Stud Plate (1600m) at…

Cindy’s Boy a ‘Luckie’ charm

Editor BOAY

Cindy’s Boy ($2.60F) came into Sunday afternoon’s Sandown assignment off a slick 25.67sec maiden victory at Geelong and after staging a mid-race duel for supremacy with fancied rival Shadow Riot ($2.80), he broke clear in…
