Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) and Pride Of Jenni are set to face off again in the Feehan Stakes at Moonee Valley.

Rue De Royale is walking taller after win
Tony McEvoy can’t explain it, but he’s certain his talented galloper Rue De Royale (NZ) (Per Incanto) has a different strut after breaking his maiden at his ninth start at Bendigo. Prior to the hollow win over 1300m, Rue De Royale was considered Australia’s best maiden galloper as in his previous eight starts, he had earned $650,000 and finished second three times in the Group 2 VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes, the $1 million Golden Gift and the $2m Inglis Millenium. In the Bendigo race, John Allen took Rue De Royale…

Skew Wiff’s (NZ) (Savabeel) quest to double her winning tally at the highest level hasn’t been helped at Hastings by an awkward gate.

Skew Wiff was game when fourth in her defence of that title on the opening day of the carnival and has done well since, but barrier 12 has done her…

Strong came under pressure in the concluding stages but responded to the urgings of Ladouceur to win by a neck over Our Princess Boot. “It was amazing to…
El Vencedor primed for an Arrowfield assault
Stephen Marsh believes the El Vencedor (NZ) (Shocking) that is heading to Hastings for Saturday’s Gr.1 Arrowfield Stud Plate (1600m) is barely recognisable as the same horse that has competed during the Hawke’s Bay Spring Carnival in previous seasons. The son of Shocking was very much a work in progress when he lined up in the Gr.2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) on this day three years ago. Stepping straight into stakes company only two weeks after his maiden win at Taupo, he finished at the tail of the field behind…
