Speedy Per Incanto mare Mrs Chrissie added a fifth win to her CV when she lived up to her favouritism in Saturday’s A$130,000 LockettLED.au Handicap (1000m) at Sandown. The five-year-old chestnut has now had 16 starts for five wins and five placings, earning more than A$275,000 in stakes. All of those five victories have come over either 1000m or 1100m. Mrs Chrissie jumped only fairly from her midfield gate in Saturday’s 1000m dash, but she recovered quickly and moved up into third place for apprentice jockey Celine Gaudray. Gaudray asked…

Elson Boy took his remarkable winning streak into the city on Saturday and just kept on rolling, collecting his sixth victory in a row in the A$160,000 Rosehill Bowling Club Handicap (1300m) in Sydney. The four-year-old son of El Roca kicked off his hot streak with a win on his home track of Dubbo in early March. He followed it up with further successes at Coonamble, Narromine, Mudgee and a last-start victory during Scone’s metropolitan meeting on May 18. Elson Boy carried on to Rosehill on Saturday and delivered more…

Trainer Andrew Forsman will be hoping they run races at Te Rapa every Saturday during the winter so that progressive galloper Turn The Ace (NZ) (Turn Me Loose) can further extend his outstanding record at the Hamilton venue.

Rider Donovan Cooper, who reduced the five-year-old’s carded weight to…

Standout hurdler Berry The Cash will deservedly dominate the headlines, but his stablemate Super Spirit (NZ) (Super Easy) collected a win of his own later on the Te Rapa card on Saturday to complete a big day for trainer Mark Oulaghan and jockey Portia Matthews. Less than two hours after Oulaghan and Matthews teamed up in another big-race triumph with Berry The Cash in the Fairview Motors Waikato Hurdle (3200m), Super Spirit lined up for maiden steeplechase honours in the Waikato/BOP Racehorse Owners Association Steeplechase (3900m) and prevailed in a…

The winning run of the progeny of former Haunui Farm shuttle stallion Belardo continued on Saturday when his three-year-old son Farravallo (NZ) (Belardo) took out the opening event over 1000m at Trentham. Although facing only four rivals, the Royden Bergerson-prepared runner was up against the unbeaten Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson-trained representative Pokuru Gold who was sent out a $1.60 Fixed Odds favourite by punters as he sought his fourth win in a row. Apprentice Jim Chung made good use of his 3kg claim as he sent Farravallo straight to…
