2021 Tattersall’s Tiara Winner Is Tofane
Michael Moroney‘s now three-time Group 1 winner Tofane made history as just the third mare in history to complete the Stradbroke Handicap – Tattersall’s Tiara double thanks to her dominant win in the latter at Eagle Farm to close out Group 1 racing for the season.

After a half-length win in the Group 1 $1.5 million Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) a fortnight ago, the five-year-old daughter of…
Daily Mail: Career-best Christo in majestic match-up
In great news for Jax Bale fans, the reigning Cranbourne Cup winner makes his long-awaited return to the track for the first time since he took out a heat of the Warrnambool Cup two months ago. Andrea Dailly’s star sprinter is heading straight for the big smoke to tackle a strong line-up in the first leg of tonight’s Quaddie at The Meadows. Later on the card, a cracking middle-distance Gr8 Eight race will see Aston Gwen (G2 Laurels) v 6-time G1 finalist Christo Bale in the most anticipated race of…
Coursing classic clean-sweep
Last Sunday’s coursing meeting at Benalla was the venue for some extraordinary racing and a unique double that could well have re-written the history books. Trainers Jason Whybrow and his partner Nicole Lummas won the two main features of the day when littermates St. Mary’s Panda and Sambar Chief took out the Oaks and Derby respectively. The result had life-affirming effects for the Wangaratta training couple. Just 21 months old, both Mepunga Blazer x Snooky pups entered last weekend with five starts for two wins apiece, and they have taken…
‘Flame’ to fire in war of Roses
Regally bred Aston Flame, one of the headline acts in Sunday afternoon’s Bendigo Roses heats (425m), might be on the timid side away from the racetrack but proud trainer Ian Garland says she’s certainly no shrinking violet in the heat of the action. Aston Flame is bred in the purple, being a daughter of Aston Miley, a litter sister to Melbourne Cup winner and exciting young stud dog Aston Dee Bee, and her litter to US sire KC And All also includes potential superstar Aston Rupee and Aston Fastnet. So…
Brown toast and vegemite? Och Eye, Mum…
Sometimes you just have to give yourself a birthday present. Such was the case at Geelong on 8 June, when Och Eye Mum (Fernando Bale – Rockin’ Josie) saw her fourth birthday coming and gave herself a win: her first, from 57 starts. Proud St. Albans owner/trainer Andy Morrison explained his joy succinctly: “If I could have done a summersault I would have!” Speaking with Gareth Hall on RSN, Andy also personified the spirit of persistence, the importance of the greyhound community and the way greyhounds become mates. Andy’s been…
Bush triumph for Rather Salubrious
Five-year-old mare Rather Salubrious (NZ) (Highly Recommended) landed the spoils in the A$200,000 TAB Battle of the Bush Final (1200m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday, providing Dalby trainer David Reynolds with an emotional victory. Reynolds, who part-owns Rather Salubrious, had prepared the mare to win a qualifying race at Goondiwindi when ridden by Angela Jones and then elected to stick with apprentice Wendy Peel, who had previously ridden the mare in Brisbane. His faith in Peel was rewarded after she produced a copybook ride to guide the mare to victory,…
Ballet Master lands strong win at Caulfield
Ballet Master (NZ) (Stravinsky) bounced back into winning form on Saturday, posting an upset win in the Caulfield Handicap (1600m). The Chris Hyland-trained seven-year-old gelding ran under the radar of most punters after being unplaced in three previous starts this preparation. A pre-race chat between Hyland and jockey Luke Currie saw Ballet Master return to his favoured racing pattern, and the son of Stravinsky duly delivered. “He is funny because once the winter is over he has about four months off and this year it has taken a bit of…
Tofane takes out Tiara
Rejuvenated mare Tofane (NZ) (Ocean Park) has become the third horse to claim the Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap-Tattersall’s Tiara double on Saturday with a comfortable win in Saturday’s 1400m contest. Jockey Craig Williams described Tofane’s victory in the Tattersall’s Tiara as “quite easy” after the Michael Moroney-trained mare outclassed her rivals to land her second Group One win of the Brisbane winter carnival and third elite level win of her career. The five-year-old daughter of Ocean Park had been destined to go through the sales ring before a change of heart…
