What Kempsey Races Where Kempsey Race Club – Warwick Park, North St, Kempsey NSW 2440 When Sunday, June 16, 2024 First Race 12:20pm AEST Visit Dabble Country racing heads to Kempsey on Sunday afternoon, with the $40,000 Wauchope Cup (1450m) headlining a competitive eight-part program. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with the track rated a Heavy 8 at the time acceptances, and more rain forecast across the weekend, it’s unlikely to gain an upgrade prior to the opening event at 12:20pm local time. Wauchope…

Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) Handy galloper Blackwood Star made a welcome return to winning form when she charged home against the outside rail at Trentham.

The son of Jakkalberry ventured north to Te Rapa for his next…

Photo: Darren Winningham Tyler Schiller and Annabel Neasham have combined with Fawkner Park ($4.00) proving far too strong in the Group 2 Q22 (2200m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday afternoon, turning the tables on stable companion Bois D’Argent ($15.00) after a luckless performance in the Group 1 Doomben Cup (2000m) on May 25. It was all too easy for the son of Zoffany, as Tyler Schiller lobbed into the perfect position mid-field with cover throughout the 2200m journey, allowing the progressive five-year-old…

The previously Grahame Begg-trained daughter of Zoustar had only managed one win prior to Saturday’s triumph for the former stable, unable to return to the winners’ enclosure since breaking her maiden in August of 2022. It was a…
