NZRacingDesk

No three-year-old in New Zealand this season has enjoyed as much black-type success as the prolific winner Need I Say More (No Nay Never), who added Saturday’s Gr.2 Fusion Electrical Wellington Guineas (1400m) at Trentham to his near-faultless formline. The winner of the Gr.3 Waikato Stud Slipper (1200m) as a juvenile, the classy chestnut has added this season’s Gr.3 Northland Breeders’ Stakes (1200m), Gr.2 Sarten Memorial (1400m), Gr.3 Almanzor Trophy (1200m), Listed Mufhasa Stakes (1300m) and now Saturday’s $100,000 feature.

NZRacingDesk

Less than an hour after lamenting bad luck in one Trentham feature on Saturday afternoon, Johno Benner and Hollie Wynyard struck gold in the next one with stable favourite Grand Mayson (NZ) (Power). A perennial placegetter with 13 seconds and thirds through his 26-start career, the six-year-old son of Power produced a scintillating late burst to win the Listed Hardy Trade Supply Lightning Handicap (1200m). Just 40 minutes earlier, Benner and Wynyard’s last-start Gr.1 Levin Classic (1600m) winner Bonham (Per Incanto) overcame a rocky run and charged home for second…

Talented three-year-old Amarelinha (NZ) (Savabeel) gave her rivals a galloping lesson as she claimed a brilliant victory in the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Trentham. The Jamie Richards-trained Savabeel filly had been expected to dominate proceedings after winning four of her last five starts, but even the best laid plans can come unstuck and that was nearly the case on Saturday. Backers of the $1.60 favourite had their hearts in their mouths as the gates opened with Amarelinha appearing to jump in the air and…

‘FLYING’ FERDINAND

Editor BOAY

An untapped talent in Box 8 named Ferdinand Boy may be the best drawn greyhound in tonight’s $67,000 G2 Shepparton Cup final (450m) at 8.59pm. He’s form expert The Watchdog’s top selection after drawing the ‘pink’ alley, from which he’s won five from six (83%). “Ferdinand Boy boasts unrivalled mid-race speed and I think he has his paws on the winner’s cheque already,” The Watchdog said. Subsequently David Geall’s emerging star has come in from an opening quote of $6.50 into $4.60 for the $47,000 to-the-winner final. Incidentally, The Watchdog’s…

Coventina Bay takes Cuddle Stakes victory after tough battle

NZRacingDesk

Progressive galloper Coventina Bay (NZ) (Shamexpress) delighted her army of fans when taking out the Gr.3 Wentwood Grange Cuddle Stakes (1600m) on Saturday, but it was a close-run thing in the Trentham feature for the fillies and mares. Sent out a $1.70 favourite for the contest, the Robbie Patterson-trained mare was shooting for back-to-back victories after scoring impressively over 1400m at Matamata last month. Punters were well on terms with themselves throughout the running as regular pilot Sam Collett had Coventina Bay situated nicely three-back against the fence before angling…
