Jockey Jamie Kah has coaxed the best out of Nature Strip to win the Black Caviar Lightning. Star jockey Jamie Kah proved the key to coaxing the best out of the enigmatic Nature Strip when she combined with the superstar sprinter to win the Black Caviar Lightning. The race proved to be a triumph for Australia’s leading trainer Chris Waller, who produced the quinella in the Group One at Flemington with his three-year-old filly September Run flying home for second. Kah was emotional after the win, her fourth at Group…

‘Tags’ Back And Australian Guineas-Bound
Tagaloa, ridden by Luke Currie, has returned to his best to win the C S Hayes Stakes at Flemington. Group One Blue Diamond Stakes hero Tagaloa has recorded his first win since that race with an emphatic victory in the C S Hayes Stakes. Co-trainer Natalie Young was relieved to see Tagaloa return to his best form in the Group Three event over 1400 metres. “‘Tags’ is back. What a relief. It’s fantastic, actually,” Young said. “He dominated that today and Luke (Currie) gave him a peach of a ride…
Melody Belle Beaten In Bid For Record
Melody Belle’s bid to set a new benchmark for Group One wins by a New Zealand-trained horse has fallen short after she was beaten in the Herbie Dykes Stakes. The Jamie Richards-trained mare currently shares the record with the mighty Sunline, both gallopers having won 13 elite races apiece. Bad luck in the run put paid to her chances of adding the Group One Herbie Dykes to her resume at Te Rapa on Saturday with Royal Performer scoring an upset win. Trained and owned by Bob Vance and his wife…
Cummings Considers Galaxy For Tailleur
It was a case of mission accomplished for Godolphin head trainer James Cummings when emerging mare Tailleur posted a breakthrough black-type win at Randwick. The four-year-old has been patiently managed and made it six wins from eight starts when she staved off the challenge of Tricky Gal to win the Group Three Triscay Stakes (1200m) by a long neck. However, Saturday’s victory was significant as it was her first at black-type level. “She’s got the black-type win on the board so we can plot a path now with a little…
Slipper Looms For Unbeaten Freedman Colt
James McDonald has labelled Stay Inside as a genuine Golden Slipper threat but stopped short of committing to stick with him in the $3.5 million feature. Having his first race ride on the Michael and Richard Freedman-trained juvenile in Saturday’s Pierro Plate (1100m) at Randwick, McDonald did little but sit and steer. The colt found a perfect trail behind the speed before unleashing a blistering turn of foot to gap his rivals by four lengths in a performance that moved McDonald to rank him among the best Sydney two-year-olds. “He…
Godolphin Adds Another Diamond Runner
Ingratiating has all but booked a spot in the Blue Diamond Stakes with a strong win at Flemington. Ingratiating is likely to join James Cummings’ powerful Blue Diamond Stakes team after his authoritative win in the Talindert Stakes at Flemington. The Godolphin trainer will already be represented by Anamoe, Arcaded, Picarones and possibly Telluride in the Group One two-year-old race at Caulfield next Saturday. Cummings’ Melbourne stable foreman Sean Keogh said they would see how the colt pulled up before committing to a start. However, Keogh couldn’t imagine the youngster…

Amarelinha back to her best at Te Rapa
Exciting galloper Amarelinha bounced back to her very best after suffering a narrow defeat at her most recent start, when she captured the Gr.2 David & Karyn Ellis Fillies Classic (2000m) at Te Rapa. Trained by Jamie Richards for the Te Akau Hopskip’n’jump Syndicate, Amarelinha was sent out a $1.40 favourite for the contest as punters believed she was a margin above her rivals after being beaten narrowly by Aegon in the Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie last month. Back up against her own sex, the Savabeel filly…
Super seven for Avantage in Te Rapa sprint feature
In what most pundits deemed a match race between Avantage and Levante, it was marvellous mare Avantage who triumphed as she made it seven career Group One wins when taking out a superb victory in the Gr.1 BCD Group Sprint (1400m) at Te Rapa. The opportunity to see two of the best mares racing in New Zealand at present go head-to-head was thwarted when Levante effectively put paid to her chances when she missed the start by a conservative eight lengths. That didn’t worry the many Avantage supporters who watched…
