Stroll put in the big bounds late to win the Bill Carter Stakes. (Photo: Darren Winningham) The Steven O’Dea & Matthew Hoysted-trained Stroll gave the locals something to cheer about at Eagle Farm on Saturday, as she exploded late under William Pike to win the Listed Bill Carter Stakes (1200m). The two-year-old filly by Snitzel showed plenty of promise early on, winning at the Sunshine Coast on debut back in back in December, before placing third in the $125,000 Aquis Gold Pearl (1100m) at just her second start.

Sophmaze all class in Castletown Stakes
Talented juvenile filly Sophmaze (NZ) (Derryn) showed a touch of class when she out-finished her rivals with a determined late run to take out the Listed John Turkington Forestry Ltd Castletown Stakes (1200m) at Waverley. The Allan Sharrock-trained filly had broken her maiden status after two minor placings when successful at Trentham last month with Sharrock declaring then she was just the type of filly who would be suited to a race like the Castletown Stakes. That statement proved prophetic as rider Lisa Allpress bided her time beyond midfield with…

Talented winter galloper Amusez Moi (NZ) (Dalghar) capped off some fine recent form with victory in the Listed AGC Training Stakes (1650m) at Waverley. The five-year-old son of Dalghar was having just his fifth run for trainers Johno Benner and Hollie Wynyard after returning from a two-year stint in Australia where he won three of his 11 starts after doing his early racing from the Nigel Tiley stable at Pukekohe. After winning first up over 1400m at Otaki in March, Amusez Moi had been placed in two of his next…
Turn The Ace turns up trumps at Avondale
Smart three-year-old Turn The Ace (NZ) (Turn Me Loose) bounced back to his best form with a decisive effort at Avondale on Saturday where he led for most of the way to win over 1200m in age-group company. The Andrew Forsman-trained son of Turn Me Loose had won his first two starts as a two-year-old, including one at Listed level, before putting together a below average campaign in the spring. Put aside after finishing well back in the Listed Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie in January, Turn The…
Waller unleashes promising colt at Rosehill
Champion trainer Chris Waller is usually preparing a quality two-year-old in Brisbane at this time of year, but he has unveiled an exciting New Zealand-bred colt at Rosehill Gardens in the Bowermans Handicap (1300m) on Saturday. Osipenko (NZ) (Pierro) proved too strong for his rivals in the opening race of the card defeating the more highly fancied stablemate Madame Pommery (No Nay Never) by a widening three- and three-quarter lengths. After having his first trial in January on the Gold Coast, the $160,000 Karaka yearling purchase had been tuned up for this with two solid recent Rosehill trials. …

(Photo: Darren Winningham) It was not a pretty watch for punters who took the even money quote about Political Debate in Saturday’s Listed The Phoenix at Eagle Farm, but the colt was able to stick his nose out on the post and get the bob in. Despite being a maiden after two starts, the Chris Waller-trained two-year-old went in to today’s race as the favourite for next Saturday’s Group 1 J.J. Atkins, with a win vital for him to…
