NZRacingDesk

Sunday’s Dynes Transport Tapanui Cup (1335m) might be an unconventional lead-up to a Group One target but that’s of little concern to Gore trainer Ellis Winsloe. Winsloe will produce in-form Iffraaj gelding Humbucker in the Tapanui Cup on his home track as a likely precursor to the Listed Timaru Cup (1600m) on December 28. Good performances in both could see the six-year-old tackle the Gr.1 Harcourts Thorndon Mile (1600m) at Trentham on January 28. “I’d like to have a go at the Thorndon with him and that’s why I am…

South Australian trainer Will Clarken has called upon his state government to do better when it comes to stakes available for those in its racing industry. Adelaide’s Racing Carnival is not short on brilliant Group 1 action, but it’s the prizemoney on offer which needs to be seriously looked at, says trainer Will Clarken. From April 30 to May 21, Morphettville Parks hosted four top-class afternoons of racing – Oaks Day, Sangster Day, Derby Day and Goodwood Day.
