In A Twinkling set to shine in Pakenham Cup
Former Kiwi galloper In A Twinkling will put his stakes credentials to the sword once again on Saturday when he lines-up in the Listed Pakenham Cup (2500m). The six-year-old gelding has had just the two runs for new trainer Lindsay Smith who believes his new acquisition is nearing peak fitness. In A Twinkling ran a first-up seventh on a heavy track at Cranbourne last month before backing up the following week when eighth in the Listed Ballarat Cup (2000m), both times with Craig Newitt in the saddle. “But I reckon the next one, he will be even better,”…
Ranting rearing to go at Pakenham
Trainers Leon and Troy Corstens are hoping Ranting can return to his winning ways in the David Bourke Memorial Handicap (1200m) at Pakenham on Saturday. The New Zealand-bred four-year-old has been absent from the winner’s stall since his victory in the Gr.3 Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield last year and his conditioners are keen for a return. Ranting will be lining up for the fourth start of his preparation on Saturday. He finished fourth first-up at The Valley behind Dexelation over 1000m on Cox Plate Day before stepping up to 1200m and finishing down…
Manawatu option for Coventina Bay
New Plymouth trainer Robbie Patterson has elected to skip a trip to Wellington this weekend with his dual Group Three winner Coventina Bay. The daughter of Shamexpress is readying for her raceday resumption and after winning a 1000m heat at the Foxton trials on November 16, she put in an unsatisfactory performance at Cambridge a week later. “I trialled her about three weeks ago at Foxton and she trialled really well,” Patterson said. “I wanted to get her to an open 1200m at Trentham this weekend, so I took her…
Railway focus for Entriviere
Quality mare Entriviere is building towards the Gr.1 Sistema Railway (1200m) at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day after a quick turnaround from a successful three-start spring campaign in Sydney. The Jamie Richards-trained five-year-old has won six of her 10 lifetime starts, and enhanced her value significantly when winning the Gr.2 Sheraco Stakes (1200m) fresh-up in Sydney, to complement a pair of Group Three victories in New Zealand and two Group Two placings in Australia. Connections of the emerging star will be keen to see her tick the Group One box,…
Petty’s Legacy poised to strike
Promising Sweynesse mare Petty’s Legacy (NZ) will spearhead a strong team for Riccarton trainers Shane Kennedy and Anna Furlong at their home-track meeting on Friday. The training partnership will produce four runners at the twilight meeting but most interest will centre on three-win four-year-old Petty’s Legacy in the Jon Snow @ Clearview Park 1400. In three runs this preparation, Petty’s Legacy has won back-to-back Rating 65 1400m races before a last-start fourth at Riccarton on a slow track on the final day of New Zealand Cup week when stepping up…
Zabeel dress rehearsal for House of Cartier
Already Group One performed in Australia, Alamosa mare House of Cartier will be out to add an elite-level victory to her resume in her next two starts. The six-year-old mare is flying at the moment, having won two of her last three races, including the Gr.3 Metric Mile (1600m) and Listed Feilding Gold Cup (2100m). Trainer Peter Didham said the Gr.1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) placegetter has enjoyed a quick freshen-up since her last start victory in the Feilding Gold Cup and is being targeted towards the Gr.1 Zabeel Classic (2000m)…
‘Omega’ – Sale precision!
Current 2021-22 Sale Greyhound of the Year leader Omega Dodge commands cult idol status on the Gippsland track. Omega Dodge (24pts) heads the GOTY from arch-rival Dr. Slats (14pts) while his Seaspray trainer, Barry Harper (13pts), sits third behind William McMahon (26pts) on the TOTY table. There have been some feted dogs at Sale, and arguably the greatest of them all was Jesaulenko. Amazingly, he was the unofficial ‘King of Sale’ over a four-year period (2015-19) with more than half of his 53 career wins at the track. Prepared by…
Picture ‘Perfect’ Straight Track tilt
A short break and a first-up visit to Healesville proved to be a winning recipe when Perfect Colour set the pace in the heats of the Victorian Straight Track Championship (350m) on Sunday afternoon. The winner of 21 of his 57 starts, Perfect Colour, trained by Jane Reynolds at Pearcedale, stepped up to elite company in October and made his presence felt against the big guns. The super consistent but underrated speedster ran a close third to all-conquering provincial superstar Ferdinand Boy in the Sale Sprint Championship and then qualified for the…
