By Jonny Turner Punters shouldn’t read too much into which horse Nathan Williamson is driving when three of his stable clash in an even affair at Winton on Sunday. Williamson returns from Canterbury following the New Zealand Cup Carnival to line up Escobar, Foveaux Strait and Who’s Bettor in race 8, as well as Amass in race 2. The trainer drives Who’s Bettor but she doesn’t hold the number 1 seed among his runners in an intriguing mile contest. Starting fresh up and drawing one the second row both look…

Kyra Yuill is prepared to endure another gruelling week to keep her weight down in order to ride Searchin’ Roc’s in the Railway Stakes at Ascot next week.

Shoot to Thrill!
Wow She’s Fast – the sport’s Annie Oakley – ‘shot the lights out’ in the $72,500 Group 3 Sportsbet Shootout (515m) at Sandown Park on Saturday night. Trained at Pearcedale by Jackie Greenough, Wow She’s Fast proved she’s the ‘fastest gun’ in Australian greyhound racing with a bullet-like, come-from-behind win in the $50,000 to-the-winner four-dog face-off. Exiting from Box 3, Wow She’s Fast was a conspicuous last at the winning post the first time around but stuck like glue to the rail rounding the corner. Then, with amazing mid-race acceleration, she…
Redwood Shadow goes back to back
Five-year-old gelding Redwood Shadow (NZ) (Redwood) made it successive victories when he came from midfield to score in the NZB Jack Newton Legend Mile Benchmark 78 Handicap (1600m), heading home a New Zealand bred trifecta in the final event on the Newcastle stand-alone meeting on Saturday. Under jockey Jason Collett, Redwood Shadow raced closest to the fence to wear down Kedah (NZ) (Per Incanto), with Sindacato (NZ) (Per Incanto) running on well for third. The son of Redwood has now had seven starts for Warwick Farm trainer Joe Pride, after…
Stakes options loom for Kissinger
Lightly-tried seven-year-old Kissinger (NZ) (Tavistock) rewarded his connections’ patience with a dogged victory at the Cranbourne stand-alone meeting on Saturday when landing the Reed Cranes & Transport Marathon Handicap (2540m). The Lindsey Smith-trained gelding was galvanised under a perfect Damien Oliver ride to get the better of pacemaker Nobel Heights and last-start conqueror Port Phillip, who finished third with a 5.5kg turnaround since the pair last clashed. A son of Tavistock, Kissinger commenced his career in New Zealand with trainer Nigel Tiley, for whom he won two of his first…

This’ll Testya claims Group 3 Colonel Reeves Stakes at Ascot
This’ll Testya has continued it’s strong campaign with a win in the Colonel Reeves Stakes. This’ll Testya for Lucy Warwick and Mitchell Pateman has taken out the Group 3 Colonel Reeves Stakes, defeating a quality field of sprinters. Jumping from barrier 12 of 15, Warwick had a job on her hands to get her mare into a good position upon settling, but there was no such trouble as she got into the three wide running line, just a few lengths of the leaders. This’ll Testya started as $7 third favourite…
Buster Bash aimed towards Group 1 following Luckygray Stakes win
Buster Bash was too good for rivals in Luckygray Stakes. Photo: Western Racepix Whatever happens in the Railway Stakes next Saturday, jockey Paul Harvey believes Buster Bash will leave nothing in the tank as he steps up in class for the Group 1 feature at Ascot. They were his thoughts after a gutsy victory in the Luckygray Stakes over 1800m on Saturday. The five-year-old gelding shot out to front and led early – which he loves to do – before creating some separation at the turn. He tired, but held…
