Editor BOAY

High profile Victorian trainers Andrea Dailly, Jason Thompson and Jeff Britton are all striving to win the $142,750 Group 1 KCR Pet Transport Maturity Classic (525m) for the third time on Saturday night at The Meadows. Andrea Dailly won the Maturity with the great Fernando Bale in 2015 and his daughter Dyna Patty in 2018 and is taking aim at a third success in the last six years with TAB’s $3 favourite Qwara Bale (Box 3), the only female sprinter in the $100,000 to-the-winner age-restricted feature.

Half Of Nothing secures bonus at Avondale

NZRacingDesk

Trainer Wayne Hillis has been chasing the Pearl Series Bonus with his filly Half Of Nothing for the last three months, and they finally captured their prize at Avondale on Wednesday. The daughter of Redwood has contested four previous NZB Pearl Series Races, for three placings, and she finally broke through for her maiden win with a determined run over 1200m on a Heavy11 surface. After tardily away from the gates, Half Of Nothing settled towards the rear of the field for jockey Erin Leighton. Turning for home she was…

NZRacingDesk

Triple Group One winner Tofane has plenty of options open to her this spring. Trainer Michael Moroney was initially planning to extend the daughter of Ocean Park over 1600m for the first time, but a A$2 million carrot is now being dangled in front of the Flemington trainer in the form of the newly announced The Invitation (1400m). The rich-spring feature, which is set to run at Randwick on October 23, could now be on the rising six-year-old’s spring agenda. “If you could wish a race for Tofane, you would…

NZRacingDesk

Although New Plymouth Raceway is on Tavis Court’s backdoor-step, the seasoned Hawera galloper will have his first start at the Taranaki track this weekend. The five-year-old gelding will line-up in the Listed Powerworx Opunake Cup (1400m) on Saturday and trainer Anna Clement is hoping he performs well on what was rated a Heavy11 surface on Wednesday morning. “Tavis Court has actually never seen New Plymouth racecourse, so that is a little bit of a disadvantage for us, but we are there to try and win, so we will give it…

Burnett’s ‘burning’ Maturity desire

Editor BOAY

David Burnett is taking aim at what would be emotion-charged back-to-back victories in the Group 1 Maturity Classic (525m) on Saturday night at The Meadows. Last year Burnett won the Maturity with ill-fated champion Simon Told Helen, the last and arguably finest of the reigning Australian Greyhound of the Year’s four G1 successes. Simon Told Helen started $1.90 favourite, leaving superstars Hard Style Rico, Tiggerlong Tonk and Christo Bale in his wake, while on Saturday the astute Little River trainer finds himself on the other end of the spectrum with…
