Valuable Australian Group win for Belle Plaisir
On the anniversary of her first stakes win in last year’s Listed Rangitikei Gold Cup (1600m), classy New Zealand mare Belle Plaisir doubled her black-type tally with a powerful come-from-behind performance in Saturday’s Gr.3 R A Lee Stakes (1600m) at Morphettville. A four-time winner from 19 New Zealand starts from the Awapuni stable of her part-owner Lucy Tanner, the daughter of Proisir was partially sold to Kildalton Park Racing last spring and crossed the Tasman to join the stable of Tony and Calvin McEvoy. She has wasted no time in…
New Zealand-bred delivers black-type breakthrough for Bobbin
Stawell trainer Andrew Bobbin had a day to remember at Flemington on Saturday, celebrating his first stakes win in the Listed Hilton Nicholas Straight Six (1200m) with highly talented New Zealand-bred Ocean Beyond.

Ocean Beyond took a big step forward from that with an irresistible finish at Flemington on…

She might not have lined up in The Goodwood, but trainer Mark Kavanagh’s conservative approach paid off when Seradess comfortably saluted in the $127,250 Proud Miss Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville. The three-year-old led early and blew away her competition when she was up by five lengths at the 100m mark. She then cruised home to win by three lengths over Andrew Clarken’s runner-up I Am Bene. 2022 Proud Miss Stakes Replay https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-Proud-Miss-Stakes.mp4 “She was dominant.

Photo: Racing SA When Lombardo was all over his trainer Mick Price pre-race – stepping on him and even offloading some excrement on his clothes – he knew he was ready to fire.

Before the race he wished jockey Zac Spain “good luck” with the outsider deemed an $18 chance with online betting sites. “No (I didn’t think he…

Vorster special helps Belle Plaisir land the R A Lee Stakes
Barend Vorster was all smiles following his win aboard Belle Plaisir in the R A Lee Stakes Barend Vorster was always comfortable near the rail, and that intuition paid off when he won from the inside on Belle Plaisir in the $152,250 RA Lee Stakes (1600m) at Morphettville. He also held his nerve when Struck By was going full bore and two lengths clear after the turn. 2022 R A Lee Stakes Replay https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-R-A-Lees-Stakes.mp4 That was also when eventual runner-up Cherry Tortoni launched his run on the outside for Patrick…
