By Jonny Turner A tricky autumn got trickier for La Rosa when she drew barrier 1 on the second row in the Nevele R Fillies R Series heat at Forbury Park on Wednesday. Problems behind the mobile have plagued the Mark Jones trained filly have proved costly, taking her out of play in two recent features. Jones and driver Samantha Ottley combined to get the filly’s campaign on track with a powerful and faultless last start performance at Addington. But just a matter of days later the pacer was handed…

Divine Shadow Plans Up In The Air
Trainer Brett Pope is yet to decide on the immediate future of yesterday’s Pinjarra Cup winner Divine Shadow. Divine Shadow scored an effortless 3.75 length win in the $120,000 feature, his first at Listed level. Brett Pope said he wasn’t sure where he would send the gelding next but hinted at a winter campaign. “That was our main target for him this prep,” he told TABradio. “He will probably have a little break now and I’m not sure with his rating if there’s any options over the winter. “He’s proven…
Shenron to make Hong Kong debut
David Hayes is optimistic first-starter Shenron (NZ) (Shocking) can provide added impetus to the stable’s momentum when he contests the second section of the Class 4 Larch Handicap (1200m) at Happy Valley on Wednesday. Hayes has delivered a winner at all three April meetings so far with Fantastic Treasure (Written Tycoon), Fearless Fire (Acclamation) and Trader (Unencumbered) and is hopeful Shenron, who has been sharpened by four trials in preparation for his debut, can maintain the roll. “He’s surprised me with the pace he’s shown, he’s by Shocking the (2009)…

One of the highlights of the Mornington program on Tuesday was the dominant victory of lightly-tried New Zealand bred three-year-old Made By Khan (NZ) (Mongolian Khan). The Matt Laurie-trained son of Mongolian Khan was sent out a $1.60 favourite and never gave punters a moment’s concern after being pushed forward to set the tempo for jockey Lachlan Neindorf. The handsome gelding had his rivals off the bit and chasing before the bend and was throttled down by Neindorf to score by three and a quarter lengths in the Progress Signs…
Gibbs holds strong hand at home meeting
Ruakaka trainer Chris Gibbs turned his hand to being an arborist at his local track on Tuesday in order to ensure Ruakaka’s Wednesday meeting went ahead. Gibbs, who is also a director of the Whangarei Racing Club, attended to a tree which fell on the driveway into the course on Tuesday, preventing visiting horses from getting to the stabling area. “One of those big trees that had been there for a long time just decided to split in half, and you couldn’t get past it,” he said. “We got a…
Pike’s Australian hopefuls on show at Hastings

The Cambridge trainer will start last year’s Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) winner Sherwood Forest (Fastnet Rock) in the Listed Power Farming Hawke’s Bay Cup (2200m), while his exciting two-year-old Rangi Toa (NZ) (Shamexpress) and the three-year-old Dawn Parade (Dawn Approach) could also earn themselves a plane ticket with good performances. Sherwood Forest missed spring and summer racing after returning lame in his only spring start, a 1400m…
