Editor BOAY

Victoria’s leading trainer Andrea Dailly made a ‘clean sweep’ of the G3 Cranbourne Classic heats (520m) this afternoon. Anakie-based Dailly snared all three heats, led by Australia’s sprint queen Qwara Bale.

Lala Ivory ($15.10), also trained by Dailly, was third only 2L from her kennelmate. She also qualified for next week’s final, giving Dailly a four-pronged challenge in the $25,000 to-the-winner event. Qwara Bale…

Editor BOAY

Coursing royalty descends upon Longwood as the 148th Waterloo Cup series kicks off on Sunday. It will indeed be a ‘Battle of Waterloo’ as 64 entrants – including defending champion Making Gravy – start their chase for coursing’s time-honoured ‘Holy Grail’. Making Gravy has “had a few issues”, according to Stanhope trainer Adele Powell, but he’s not ‘going off the deep end’ if you’ll excuse the pun. In fact, it’s quite the contrary as Powell adds “I’m pretty confident I’ve got him 100 per cent”. “He trialled at Healesville on…

Mascherata adds to Tivaci tally

NZRacingDesk

Tivaci has rapidly doubled his winning tally with further Australian success on Thursday at Scone where his daughter Mascherata was a stylish and untested winner over 1200m in her three-year-old debut. The Waikato Stud stallion was off the mark on Wednesday when Celevacci triumphed at Belmont at the first time of asking and Mascherata delivered a second and expected victory. She is held in high regard by trainer John O’Shea, who was confident of success off the back of a sparkling Randwick trial late last month. “She’s always been a…

Wanganui Guineas in the crosshairs for Treasure State

NZRacingDesk

Matamata trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott are eyeing a trip south to Wanganui next month with Treasure State if he performs well at Te Rapa on Saturday. The three-year-old gelding will be aiming for back-to-back wins in the Waikato Draught 1200, and a tilt at the Listed Wanganui Guineas (1340m) next month hinges on his performance. “He is familiar with Te Rapa and he quickens well on the surface,” Scott told SEN. “It is a wee bit stronger field (to last start), but we are looking more towards a…

Walker crystal-clear on Te Rapa opportunity

NZRacingDesk

Byerley Park trainer Danny Walker senses an opportunity at Te Rapa on Saturday with in-form winter galloper Crystallize (NZ) (Iffraaj). The last start winner contests the Super Seth @ Waikato Stud Mile (1600m), an Open Handicap in which the six-year-old gelding will carry 52.5kgs after the claim of apprentice Ace Lawson-Carroll. A now seven-time winner, the gutsy son of Iffraaj has some placings at handicap level, but with resuming Group One performers Beauden and Sherwood Forest heading the weights for tomorrow’s contest, Crystallize again looks hard to beat. “He is…
