Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh. Photo: Nicole Troost The best will be seen of promising colt Bourbon Proof when he transitions to middle distance racing, but he is still more than capable of making his presence felt over a shorter trip on Saturday. The son of Justify has yet to breakthrough and his timing will be immaculate if he can shed his maiden tag at Listed level at Ellerslie. Bourbon Proof finished runner-up in his sole appearance last season and was then fourth when resuming before another second last time out…

The KBRC is working closely with Racing WA, the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, and state government officials to address the pressing issue. Without a sustainable solution, the potential…

Idyllic proves too slick in Levin Stakes
Idyllic winning the Levin Stakes (1200m) at Otaki on Thursday. Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) Idyllic is far from what Kate Hercock would describe the past 10 days, but a speedy mare with that name afforded her a moment of solace in Thursday’s Levin Stakes (1200m) at Otaki. Hercock tragically lost her fiancé Danny Champion last Monday and the Otaki meeting was her first back in the saddle since his passing. In a competitive open sprint, she continued her association with Stephen and Kevin Gray’s Idyllic, of whom…
