AAP

Star NT jockey Sonja Wiseman steered Liberty Blue to a fifth consecutive win at Alice Springs last Saturday. Liberty Blue made it five straight wins at Pioneer Park on Saturday with victory in the Australian Transit Group BM76 Handicap (1100m). The eight-year-old gelding was assigned to champion Red Centre trainer Lisa Whittle when he returned to Central Australia for a third time after finishing ninth at Gawler over 1100m (BM58) in June. The son of Statue Of Liberty finished second for the sixth time in nine Alice starts when he…

Turn Me Loose filly chasing history

NZRacingDesk

Kiwi visitor She’s Licketysplit (NZ) (Turn Me Loose) will face nine fillies in Wednesday’s Gr. 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield as she attempts to provide Cambridge trainer Andrew Forsman with a slice of history. New Zealand stables have routinely won Australia’s premier three-year-old events but the Thousand Guineas remains unconquered since the race was first held in 1946. Forsman’s willingness to campaign She’s Licketysplit was rewarded with the Turn Me Loose filly claiming the Gr.2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on October 1. The performance was enough to…

Caulfield Cup hope gallop at home

NZRacingDesk

Trainers Ciaron Maher and David Eustace elected to keep Caulfield Cup hopes Smokin’ Romans (NZ) (Ghibellines) and Gold Trip (Outstrip) on home soil for their final gallops ahead of Saturday’s Group One race. Both stayers were pencilled in to gallop at Caulfield on Tuesday morning, but instead Maher kept them at Cranbourne to finalise preparations for the 2400m handicap. Maher said he did not want to put any undue stress on Smokin’ Romans, described by the co-trainer as quirky, by firstly bringing him from Fingal to Cranbourne and then to…

‘Chase’ for a ‘Great’ dream

Editor BOAY

Darriman-based trainer William McMahon is ‘daring to dream’ of a Group 3 Great Chase three-peat. McMahon won the event – which has supported the disability sector since 2003 – with Dr. Tucker (2020) and Ridge (2021). His ‘great white hope’ in this year’s series is Garrett (Box 4), which will contest a semi-final (525m) at The Meadows on Wednesday. A win – or even finishing as one of two fastest second placegetters – would secure Garrett (Jan ’20 Walk Hard x Blue Surfonic) a spot in the $47,000 to-the-winner final on…
