Princess Rihanna back to her best at Ellerslie

NZRacingDesk

Consistent performer Princess Rihanna (NZ) (Showcasing) got a just reward on Saturday when she stormed to victory in an open 1100m contest at Ellerslie. The rising seven-year-old mare had finished an unlucky third at the venue in a similar event last month but snared the thick end of the prize this time, courtesy of a well-judged ride by apprentice Taiki Yanagida. The Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott-trained daughter of Showcasing made her usual good beginning to sit handy to the pace before looking to issue her challenge shortly after turning…

McNab riding the crest of a wave

NZRacingDesk

A picture-perfect ride aboard promising galloper Dawn Parade (Dawn Approach) at Ellerslie on Saturday continued a purple patch of form for Cambridge-based jockey Michael McNab. With 60 wins for the season already, his best since he commenced his career in the saddle just on 20 years ago, McNab has taken his riding to another level, one which he is keen to maintain as he eyes some loftier goals in the next twelve months. “Things have gone really well for me this season, particularly in the last few weeks where I…

Atullibigeal thrusts understated Henderson in spotlight

NZRacingDesk

For someone who steadfastly maintains he likes to keep a low profile with his training activity, you can imagine that Carl Henderson has a good deal of trepidation about describing his work with exciting two-year-old galloper Atullibigeal (Street Boss). Henderson produced the son of Street Boss to run away from his opposition in Saturday’s Listed Auckland Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Ellerslie, prompting plenty of media attention for the personable 48-year-old. Henderson is taking it all in his stride as a by-product of working with a potential topliner but does admit…

Ayrton loses, out of Stradbroke

NZRacingDesk

The budding star Ayrton (NZ) (Iffraaj) is out of the race for next month’s Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) after a shock loss at Eagle Farm on Saturday. In just his fourth race start, Ayrton was sent out a $1.50 favourite to win the Gr.3 Fred Best Classic (1400m) and therefore qualify for a Stradbroke run, but despite a perfect from Jamie Kah, he failed to pick up the leader Apache Chase (Better Than Ready) in a tight four-way finish in the Group Three. Despite never being qualified for the Stradbroke,…

Pink Diamond shines light on breeders

Editor BOAY

Breeders will be rewarded for the crucial and often unsung role they play in greyhound racing’s success through GRV’s ground-breaking new VicBred Pink Diamond series, to be held next month. While it’s usually the trainers and owners that are celebrating feature race victories, the innovative Pink Diamond format is inviting breeders to the party. “I think it’s fantastic breeders will get an opportunity to win some money back,” said astute breeder George Farrugia, who’s enjoyed great success in recent years, racing Group 1 winners Striker Light and True Detective. “Breeding…
