Ex-pat Kiwi jockey Alysha Collett set a new personal record at Newcastle on Saturday when she booted home five winners on the eight-race card. Victory aboard the Brad Widdup-trained Pensera (Pierro) in race two was quickly followed by another for Widdup aboard Queen Bellissimo (NZ) (Swiss Ace) in race three, before making it three in a row in race four on the James Cummings-trained Honeycreeper (Teofilo). Collett guided home the Kim Waugh-trained Linguee (Panzer Division) in race six and made it a fabulous five aboard the Peter and Paul Snowden-trained…

Winners Flow for Smiling Joe
The confidence that comes from riding winners was never more evident than at Te Rapa on Saturday when apprentice jockey Joe Kamaruddin notched his 29th success for the season aboard Palm Springs (NZ) (Super Easy) in the opening event on the card. The Malaysian-born (Kelantan) jockey has proved a revelation in recent weeks, booting home a winning treble at New Plymouth on Thursday off the back of a double at Ellerslie three days earlier. Recently named ‘Apprentice Jockey of the Year’ at the Auckland Racing Club awards and backed up…

Trainer Peter Didham has revealed lofty ambitions for Trentham winners Floral Art and Far Site, after the pair provided him with a winning double on Saturday.

Falls produces front-running win
Falls (NZ) (Niagara) made easy work of wet conditions at Sandown on Saturday to post a front running win. The son of Niagara boldly led throughout under Damian Lane to make full use of the on-pace pattern of the day on heavy ground in the Ladbrokes Cash In Handicap (1600m). Trainer Michael Kent, who notched up a winning double, is keen to extend Falls up to 2000m but the five-year-old gelding tends to race keenly. “He hasn’t had a lot of luck this prep,” Kent said. “Last start it looked…
First winner for Satono Aladdin
Rich Hill Stud’s shuttle stallion Satono Aladdin sired his first winner with two-year-old colt Omiwatari winning over 1100m at Monbetsu in Japan on Friday. A son of phenomenal Japanese stallion Deep Impact, Satono Aladdin was a top-flight racehorse who won eight races including the Gr.1 Yasuda Kinen (1600m) in a slick time of 1:31.5. Shuttling from Japan’s world-famous Shadai Stallion Station, Satono Aladdin served 91 mares at Rich Hill Stud in 2018 and 58 in 2019 before COVID-19 restrictions prevented his return in 2020. His first New Zealand crop went…
Kiwi-bred trifecta at Randwick
Opacity (NZ) (Ocean Park) led home a New Zealand-bred trifecta at Randwick on Saturday in the Heineken Racing To Win Handicap (1600m). The son of Ocean Park was third up this preparation and bounced back after a disappointing effort three weeks ago to pull away over the concluding stages and record a 1.53 length win. Jockey Reece Jones, who completed a winning treble with the victory, was over the moon as he returned to scale to the cheers of the crowd. “I was flat out riding one (winner) but to…
