Staying revelation Five Star enhanced his first-class reputation over the longer journey with a high-end display in tonight’s $75,000 to-the-winner Pink Diamond Champion Distance final (660m). Trained at Parwan by Paul Abela, Five Star (March ’19 Fernando Bale x Got One Back) pinged the lids from box seven and that was the last they saw of him. In fact, once he jumped to the front it was game, set, match. He led them a merry dance! Five Star ($2.50F) defeated My Father’s Son ($32.70) by 5.6L, with Mepunga Warrior ($3.50)…

It’s no Secret, Aussie is a ‘flawless’ Diamond!
Make no secret, Aussie Secret is an ‘eight carat’ sprinter. Prepared by master Pearcedale trainer Jason Thompson, Aussie Secret was considered drawn ‘inside out’ in tonight’s $75,000 to-the-winner Pink Diamond Short Course Sprinter final (425m) at Bendigo. But strangely, for a greyhound preferred drawn out wide, he notched his fifth win from eight starts from box one. In fact, Aussie Secret left his ‘diamond-cut’ rivals – including ‘next big thing’ and dual country cups winner Ferdinand Boy, two-time G1 finalist Shima Classic, dual track record holder Oriental Amber and short-course…
Flying Agent on Thackeray case
Flying Agent (NZ) (Raise The Flag) already looked the horse to beat in next month’s Thackeray Steeplechase (3450m) and now he’ll likely start a short-priced favourite after turning heads with a dominant flat win over 2200m at Bendigo on Sunday. In an ominous warning to his jumping rivals, the Brierly Steeplechase (3450m) winner made light work of his opposition in the 0-58 handicap over a distance well short of his best and on a firmer track than what he’s traditionally excelled on. Trainer Amy McDonald, who has taken a cautious…
Condon eyes “special” Healesville success
Healesville’s number one trainer Dave Condon says winning Sunday afternoon’s Puppy Championship final (300m) with track specialist Aston Bel Air, winner of her last three starts up the straight, would be extra special. “This one is really close to my heart because I trained her mother (Aston Lelani) for Ray Borda too,” Condon said. “Ray said he would make sure I got a couple of her pups to train and I got to pre-train the whole litter. I’m really thankful for the opportunity because it keeps the generations going and…
Masetto back to top form with Ruakaka victory
Talented galloper Masetto (NZ) (Cape Blanco) returned to winning form with a vengeance at Ruakaka on Saturday as he blitzed his rivals to take out the feature flat event on the card, the MWIS Lawyers Bream Bay Cup (2100m). Having just his third run for new trainer Allan Smith, the five-year-old son of Cape Blanco looped the field from the 800m in the hands of apprentice Eilish McCall to join issue with pacemaker Big Mike (NZ) (Don Eduardo) at the top of the straight. Masetto showed no signs of stopping…
Auckland Cup winner ready to commence spring preparation
Trainer Bill Pomare is eagerly awaiting a visit from the local farrier this week as the signal his stable star and family favourite Ocean Billy (NZ) (Ocean Park) is ready to take the first step on the road to a potentially life-changing event later this year. Pomare put aside the Gr.1 Auckland Cup (3200m) winner in late March and has been mulling over a spring campaign that could lead him all the way to the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) at Flemington on the first Tuesday in November. That plan commences…
Return to riding still on hold for Ormsby
After speaking with talented horseman Chad Ormsby regarding his progress in recovering from a broken leg suffered in a bull riding accident at the start of the year, the frustration in his voice is palpable. The laid-back 32-year-old is resigned to further surgery on the troublesome limb after being advised by his specialist that the healing process has not gone according to plan. Ormsby underwent surgery on the leg after it was pinned between a bull and a starting chute post back in early January and has spent months trying…
