John Size hopes Red Desert can prevail despite stamina doubts
Red Desert (left) excels at 1200m on the dirt. Locked in an engrossing battle for trainers’ championship honours, John Size acknowledges statistics are stacked against Red Desert in the Class 2 Carnation Handicap (dirt, 1650m) at Sha Tin on Saturday (8 May), but hopes the gelding can uncover vital reserves of stamina to defy an established pattern. “The 1200 metres on the dirt, he seems to relish that, that’s his race,” Size said. “He’s always struggled a bit at the 1650 metres but it’s the correct surface for him and…
Dees & Radek ‘hotter than Hades’?
Melbourne fans would be ‘Dees-lighted’ with TAB’s ‘hellishly’ tempting AFL/Greys offer on Saturday. The betting giant’s $5.00 cross-sports proposition is Melbourne to defeat the Sydney Swans by 23pts or more and middle-distance convert Radek Bale winning at The Meadows. The Demons are ‘hotter than Hades’, sitting on top of the AFL ladder undefeated with seven wins, while the Sydney Swans are fourth with five wins. Last week, Melbourne rolled cellar-dwellers North Melbourne by 30pts and the Sydney Swans shocked Geelong by 2pts in a nail-biter! Meanwhile, Radek Bale – prepared…
Unbeaten Ayrton in cruise control at Caulfield
Lightly-tried Kiwi import Ayrton (NZ) (Iffraaj) took another step towards an audacious tilt at the Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) when winning a 1200m handicap at Caulfield on Saturday to extend his undefeated record of three wins from three starts. The comfortable win provided ace jockey Jamie Kah with an incredible fifth win for the day, with Ayrton now Queensland-bound for a shot at a Stradbroke berth at what would be his fifth start, but first of all he must win his way into the A$1.5 million race through the Gr.3…
Bracelet trifecta for Waller
Leading trainer Chris Waller showed the depth of his team of fillies when saddling the first three across the line in the Listed Gold Coast Bracelet (1800m) on Saturday, with all three carrying the (NZ) suffix. Grace And Harmony (NZ) (Sebring) led home former New Zealand-trained fillies Signora Nera (NZ) (Sweynesse) and Only Words (NZ) (Sweynesse). Ridden by James McDonald, Grace And Harmony forged to the lead with 300m left to run and staved off her stablemates, with Signora Nera eating into the margin late. All three are set to…
Brandenburg back in business in The Coast
New Zealand-bred gelding Brandenburg (NZ) (Burgundy) has broken a 15-month drought from the winner’s stall to take out the A$500,000 The Coast (1600m) at Gosford. John Sargent’s decision to bypass the Gr.2 Hollindale Stakes (1800m) with Brandenburg and target a lucrative prize money purse closer to home has reaped the perfect reward, even if he wasn’t trackside to see it. Brandenburg was slated to contest the Gold Coast feature and the Sydney-based trainer and his wife booked a trip north to watch him. But when the horse was made first…
Gift horse Polly Grey wins Gosford Cup
Former New Zealand-trained mare Polly Grey (NZ) (Azamour) has given Chris Waller successive wins in the Listed Gosford Cup (2100m), aided by a smart ride from in-form jockey Tommy Berry. Berry had planned to settle the mare midfield but when the speed wasn’t as fast as anticipated, he cruised forward to trail leader and stablemate Wu Gok (Sebring). The sprint went on before the corner and Berry got to work on Polly Grey ($2.80 fav), the mare striding to the front at the top of the straight and kicking strongly…
Jack adds to Derby haul in South Australia
Quality staying three-year-old Explosive Jack (NZ) (Jakkalberry) landed his third Derby in a matter of months, when proving a class above his rivals when taking out the Gr.1 South Australian Derby (2500m) at Morphettville. The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained gelding was sent out favourite for the South Australian Derby after landing last month’s Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m) at Randwick, having also won the Listed Tasmanian Derby (2200m) in February. The tough as teak New Zealand bred has improved with every start, winning five of his eight career assignments with…
