Month: May 2022

Solar Blast impressed on debut despite doing a lot wrong. (Photo: Warmblood Sales) He’s raw, buckjumps during trackwork, and delivered a roller-coaster debut run for connections. But SA Sires’ Produce Stakes hopeful Solar Blast certainly has an engine, and if he can run truly at Morphettville tomorrow, is a realistic chance of claiming a Group 3 victory at just his second start. Solar Blast made quite an impression over 1050m last month, losing his way around the Morphettville turn and dropping back to last, before rocketing home – despite being…

In the spring he finished runner-up in…

Trainer Bjorn Borg says Exotic Ruby is ready for the Dark Jewell Classic on Saturday. If you follow Warwick Farm trainer Bjorn Baker on Instagram, he certainly does not lack passion and desire for his horses to succeed on race day. He was slapping high-fives and punching the air after Exotic Ruby’s win on the line in the Hawkesbury Crown two weeks ago, and he’s confident she can do it again in the $200,000 Dark Jewell Classic (1400m) at Scone on Saturday. That victory was her first Group triumph, and…

Exotic Ruby fended off a wall of rivals to claim the Hawkesbury Crown on April 30, 2022. If you follow Warwick Farm trainer Bjorn Baker on Instagram, you will know that he certainly does not lack passion and desire for his horses to succeed on race day. He was slapping high-fives and punching the air after Exotic Ruby’s win on the line in the Hawkesbury Crown two weeks ago, and he’s confident she can do it again in the $200,000 Dark Jewel Classic (1400m) at Scone on Saturday.

Wowee what a week!? One of the greatest racehorses of all time will no longer be trained by one of the greatest trainers of all time, so the Punt Drunk team look into that transfer, while a Victorian jockey will have a couple of months to study the form guide. VERRY GREEDY? This is some pretty big news out of the Chris Waller yard over night, with the trainer announcing that champion mare Verry Elleegant will be sent to France. Yeah, what’s the big deal? Well Brae Sokolski and fellow…

Jungle Magnate comes from near last to claim the Chairman’s Stakes at Morphettville. One of Victoria’s leading trainers, Mick Price is widely known for telling it how it is. Which is why he is not getting too confident about Jungle Magnate’s chances in the $502,250 South Australian Derby (2500m) at Morphettville on Saturday. The three-year-old – with Mark Zahra aboard – will go in as a $7 winning chance with Ladbrokes, behind Alegron ($3.10 favourite for James Cummings) and Detonator Jack ($4.40 for Ciaron Maher & David Eustace). And Price…

Veteran jockey Paul Denton is looking forward to this year’s Tennant Creek Cup meeting. (Photo: NT News) It’s that time of year that appeals to veteran Northern Territory jockey Paul Denton. You’d almost be on the money if you said it was the Alice Springs Cup Carnival, which has only recently concluded. And you wouldn’t be far off the mark if you said the Darwin Cup Carnival, which starts on July 2. It’s the opportunity to race at remote locations. The rewards on offer during the cup carnivals in the…
