A frustrating wait for jockey Tegan Newman ended at Ruakaka on Saturday when she claimed the final two races on the card to bring up her 100th career victory. The bubbly 26-year-old had been sitting agonisingly on 99 career wins when she had one taken off her due to the disqualification of Explosive Miss (NZ) (Jakkalberry) from a win at Tauranga in March, however victories aboard Rubyshowoff (NZ) (Showcasing) and Chevron (NZ) (El Roca) to close out the Ruakaka meeting brought up the special milestone. Newman, who became a senior…

Marsh on the brink of special milestone
Trainer Stephen Marsh continued his march towards a 100-win season for the first time when he secured a winning double at Ruakaka on Saturday. Marsh saddled up impressive winners Seresin (I Am Invincible) in a three-year-old 1400m contest and El Noir (NZ) (El Roca) in a rating 74 1200m event to move to 98 wins for the season and set a new record for his Cambridge stable. While pleased to set a new stable benchmark, he is keen to reach the magical three figure mark and fulfil a goal that…
Ribchester 3YO looks a French star

Breeding success brings further thrills for Ellis
Although leading New Zealand racehorse syndicator David Ellis has plenty to celebrate through the success of his Te Akau Racing operation during the 2021/2022 season, one of the lesser known strings to his bow are the numerous achievements he and wife Karyn have secured on the thoroughbred breeding front over the past twelve months. The pair will head off to Hawaii on Tuesday for a well-deserved mid-winter break with the prospect of returning in August as a strong contender for the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeder of the Year title.

Tavistock mare lands Glasshouse
Talented five-year-old mare Le Gai Soleil (NZ) (Tavistock) landed a valuable stakes victory when coming from near last to prevail in the Listed Glasshouse Handicap (1400m).

The well bred mare has now won seven races from 18 starts and Saturday’s win was clearly her most significant. “I think the really wet, testing track played into her hands,” Cassidy said. “Obviously I watched her races…

Richard Jolly believes the youngster will be best suited over further ground in future. “He’s been showing a bit and we…
