Talented filly Bonny Lass (NZ) (Super Easy) put a big smile on the face of co-trainer Graham Richardson after she returned to winning form with a comprehensive victory over 1200m at Ellerslie on Saturday. Richardson, who prepares the daughter of Super Easy with training partner Rogan Norvall, had been confident of a good performance following some impressive trackwork earlier in the week and once she secured an ideal barrier draw in gate two, that confidence increased. A well-judged ride from Craig Grylls saw Bonny Lass settle behind the pacemakers before…

Lim’s Bestbreaker scores on quick back-up
Leading jockey Danny Beasley was well inspired in asking trainer Daniel Meagher to back Lim’s Bestbreaker (NZ) (Battle Paint) up this week after the gamble came off with happy results on Saturday. The Battle Paint five-year-old ran a closing third in a Class 4 mile race last Sunday, with Beasley ruing upon dismounting the mid-race slackened pace that cost him the race. The two Dans had a powwow shortly after to discuss about the next course of action, which was to reset him for Saturday’s $50,000 Class 4 Division 1…
Walker ready to immerse himself in NZ stable
Mark Walker is enjoying the fresh air, green pastures and wide-open spaces in Matamata as he prepares for a return to training duties in New Zealand following an extensive stint in Singapore. Walker spent 11 years in Singapore at the helm of Te Akau Racing’s Kranji operation, where he was crowned champion trainer on four occasions, adding to the five national premiership victories he amassed in New Zealand prior to his Singapore departure. There will be a cross-over period between Walker and current Te Akau Matamata trainer Jamie Richards, who…
Turn Me Loose filly impresses with debut victory
A gritty victory by two-year-old filly Lickety Split (NZ) at her first raceday start at Ellerslie has given her sire Turn Me Loose a timely boost ahead of the upcoming New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale at Karaka. The Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained youngster followed up an impressive trial win at Ellerslie late last month with a similar performance on Saturday as she overhauled pacemaker Slipper Island (No Nay Never) in the final stages after the pair had gone head-to-head over the final 400m. The well-proportioned filly looks a…
Lim’s Kosciuszko makes it to win No 7
Danny Beasley was in awe when he gave Lim’s Kosciuszko (Kermadec x Jacquetta) a squeeze inside the concluding stages of the Class 2 race over 1200m in Singapore on Saturday. Just like everybody else, the Australian jockey was blown away by the rising star’s impeccable record of seven wins from as many starts at Kranji – putting him only five wins away from Better Than Ever’s Malayan Racing Association record of 12 wins in a row. But what really had Beasley shaking his head in disbelief as he jumped off…
Kiwi’s fruitful draw
Fastest heat winner Lala Kiwi will have to overcome box four in Saturday’s night’s TAB Australian Cup final. The draw for the $300,000 to-the-winner final was conducted on Sunday morning, after eight sensational heats were run last night. With inside boxes considered a big advantage over the 525m journey, Lala Kiwi looks well placed, especially considering her star kennelmate Zippy Tesla (box 3) has a tendency to cut hard to the rail at box rise. Orlando, trained by little known Lee Moore at Bagshot, came up with the coveted box…

By Jonny Turner It wasn’t just Best Trio that had a new experience this week with his win at Rangiora on Saturday. The Dean Taylor trained pacer capped consistent form when running to victory in race 7 for driver John Morrison. Best Trio didn’t start his career as a complete product, but he’s starting to develop into one for his breeder-owners Grahame and Bev Scurr. “He is a lovely wee horse and he is getting better all the time.” Taylor said. “He went some terrific trials early on, but then…
