Mrs Chrissie resumes in style

Classy sprinting mare Mrs Chrissie (NZ) (Per Incanto) kicked off a new campaign on a winning note with a powerful come-from-behind performance in Saturday’s A$150,000 Ballarat Volkswagen Tonks Plate (1100m) at Ballarat. The Benchmark 100 handicap was the first start since July for Mrs Chrissie, whose previous campaign produced wins at Caulfield and Sandown as well as a third in the Gr.3 Sir John Monash Stakes (1100m) and a last-start fourth in the Gr.3 Bletchingly Stakes (1200m). Mrs Chrissie was sent out as a $2.90 favourite on Saturday and delivered…

I’mintowin all the way again

Freewheeling Kiwi-bred I’mintowin (NZ) (Contributer) maintained his perfect record this preparation with another all-the-way win in Saturday’s A$160,000 James Squire Handicap (1400m) at Rosehill. The five-year-old Contributer gelding led all the way for a first-up victory over 1400m at Kembla Grange on November 23, mastering a testing 62kg topweight on a Good3 track and running record time. The step up in class for a Benchmark 94 handicap on Saturday saw I’mintowin better placed at the weights with 56.5kg, but the track conditions presented a very different challenge. Persistent rain throughout…

Be Real masters testing track at Rosehill

A strong pace and a deteriorating Heavy10 track made Saturday’s A$160,000 TAB Handicap (2000m) at Rosehill a test of stamina and toughness, and promising New Zealand-bred mare Be Real (NZ) (Iffraaj) rose to the occasion. The grey daughter of Iffraaj had made a good impression winning at Newcastle on November 2, but then finished only sixth when well supported in a 2000m race on a Good3 track at Kembla Grange three weeks later. Trainer Brad Widdup was confident that Be Real could bounce back on rain-affected ground on Saturday, and…

Bosson masterclass lands second Group One for Ladies Man

Champion jockey Opie Bosson moved to the brink of a Group One milestone with an outstanding ride on Ladies Man (NZ) (Zed) to take out Saturday’s TAB Mufhasa Classic (1600m) at Trentham. The $400,000 weight-for-age feature was the 99th win at Group One level for Bosson, who returned to riding this week after taking a two-month break for personal reasons. Ladies Man was only his fourth ride back. “That’s 99 Group One wins now, and I probably should be up around 110 by now if I kept my life on…
