NZRacingDesk

It had been more than three years between wins for Riodini (NZ) but the wait was worth it as the six-year-old son of Proisir made his Australian breakthrough in the A$1 million The Gong (1600m) at Kembla Grange on Saturday. Originally trained by Nigel Tiley, Riodini won his first four starts in New Zealand, including the Gr.3 Bonecrusher Stakes (1400m) in December 2019. Transferred to Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott on the back of a Group One placing in the Levin Classic (1600m), Riodini has performed admirably from his Sydney…

It was just reward for the five-year-old son of Mongolian Khan, who has been around the mark in a host of features since crossing the Tasman and has raced without luck this spring, including a close-up sixth in the Gr.1 Champions Stakes (2000m) behind Zaaki (Leroidesanimaux) a fortnight ago. Jumping from an inside barrier, jockey John Allen had Bankers Choice positioned just forward of…

One more time for ‘Suzie’

Editor BOAY

All hail Moraine Suzie… Yes, we have a new staying monarch! She was the ‘queen in waiting’ after recently reigning supreme in the Group 1 Topgun Stayers. But the ‘coronation’ was complete after her right royal display in a heat of the G1 Sportsbet Bold Trease (715m) at Sandown Park on Saturday night. Trained by Brendan Pursell, Moraine Suzie ($2.30F) ruled with an ‘iron paw’ defeating Lakeview Patsy ($7.60) by 8.5L in a majestic 41.33sec – around 3L off the 41.16sec track record, set by Here’s Tears on January 30,…

El Dorado’s golden Cup ‘Dream’

Sniparoochy was a class above in the Jungle Mist Classic. Photo: Western Racepix Brad Parnham judged his ride aboard Sniparoochy to perfection, showing great nous to stay clear of the fence and salute by a length in the Jungle Mist Classic at Ascot. It meant the four-year-old is now two wins from two starts this preparation, after also winning the Byron Bay Premium Lager Handicap over 1000m at the same venue on October 29. “I’m a bit sceptical about the fence. The cut of the grass just seems to be…

Trix Of The Trade Wins Group 1 Railway Stakes

AAP

Trix Of The Trade reigned supreme in the Group 1 Railway Stakes. Legendary trainer Colin Webster has previously told this publication Trix Of The Trade is so relaxed before a race, he falls asleep before it’s time to get ready. It was this laidback mindset that helped him deliver Webster arguably the biggest win of his outstanding career. The four-year-old’s victory in the $1.5 million Railway Stakes over 1600m was Webster’s first ever Group 1 triumph. It has been a life mission for Webster. He is 82 years old. 2022…
