Admirers of Rich Hill Stud’s leading stallions Proisir and Satono Aladdin will be spoiled for choice at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale later this month. The pair will have their strongest ever representation at Karaka, a reflection of the growing success of the duo’s progeny on the racetracks and in auction rings. Champion sire Proisir will have 50 yearlings in Book 1 and 10 in Book 2 while Deep Impact’s son will have 40 and 16 respectively, making them the dominant pairing numbers wise in the catalogue. “It’s a…

A lot to like about Lucy in Desert Gold
The last time Leica Lucy tackled a three-year-old fillies mile at Trentham her rivals were no match, and she is looking to replicate that performance on Saturday when she contests the Gr.3 New Zealand Bloodstock Desert Gold Stakes (1600m). A filly by Derryn, Leica Lucy was a debut winner and then only narrowly beaten by Wingman at her following start, but once she stepped up to 1600m, she put over two lengths on the field in the Gr.3 Eulogy Stakes (1600m). Like the course and distance, her jockey Craig Grylls…
Whittle’s O’Tycoon looking to strike back in Alice Springs
O’Tycoon after winning at Newcastle in April 2024, when under the care of Bjorn Baker. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au O’Tycoon deserves another chance at Alice Springs on Saturday. The former NSW galloper, who had four wins from 21 starts for trainer Bjorn Baker, was a last-start fourth on January 5 in a BM76 over 1000m as the $1.45 favourite with horse racing bookmakers. The Lisa Whittle-trained five-year-old gelding rallied late in the home straight after settling third shortly after the start before losing ground at the 600m. O’Tycoon can atone in a…

Wexford Make Decisive Move with NZB Kiwi Slot Pick
Wexford Stables’ red-hot form across a stable of talented three-year-olds in recent months has built widespread anticipation over which of their talented stars would emerge to represent the Matamata barn in the $3.5 million NZB Kiwi (1500m). Training partners Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott have ended speculation, making the decisive move to select hugely promising galloper Checkmate (NZ) to fill their slot in the inaugural running of the Southern Hemisphere’s richest three-year-old race. Checkmate has made a big impression in just five appearances to the races, notching three victories including…
Banker’s Choice chasing two straight
While the win of Banker’s Choice (NZ) (Mongolian Khan) at Moonee Valley recently may have got under the guard of punters, it wasn’t totally unexpected by the gelding’s trainers. Prepared by Mike Moroney and Glen Thompson, Banker’s Choice registered his first win in just over two years when successful on December 28 and will chase back-to-back wins in the TAB Australian Cup Race Day 29 March (2000m) at Flemington on Saturday. “It was good to see him win again,” Thompson said. “We had been really happy with him at home. All the way through he had been working…
One More Moment the one to beat
By Michael Guerin If last month’s Alexandra Park Group 1 form stacks up as it should at Cambridge on Friday night then One More Moment is the mare to beat in the $50,000 Dunstan Waikato Breeders Trot at Cambridge. The race continues the new wave of support for trotting fillies and mares, coming off the back of the $100,000 Queen Of Diamonds at Alexandra Park last month. One More Moment caused a huge upset winning that Group 1 for young trainer Zev Meredith but proved that was no fluke when…
A warning from Dunn ahead of Marlborough
By Michael Guerin John Dunn has a warning for punters expecting more premiership heroics from the country’s top stable this year. Because while the Robert and Jenna Dunn stable have a big hand in the feature race at Blenheim on Friday, stable No.1 driver John says their start to the new year could be a lot quieter than some punters expect. “Even though we just won the premiership the last few months we have had plenty of bad luck,” he told HRNZ. “We have had some horses get injured…
