by Jonny Turner Despite not driving the favourite in either race, Matthew Williamson has a big role to play in both of Gore’s cup races on Tuesday. On Southland’s biggest day of grass track racing, the reinsman combines with Tairlaw Toll and Hurricane Hill who look genuine winning threats in the Gore pacing and trotting cups, respectively. Macandrew Aviator has opened favourite for the Gore Pacing Cup and deservedly so following his excellent third behind Krug in the Group One Invercargill Cup. Tairlaw Toll won the race last year and…

Back-to-back Jarick!
Balliang’s “Team Delbridge” juggernaut rolled on when middle-distance marvel Jarick Bale steamrolled his rivals in the $120,335 Group 1 TRFM Sale Cup (650m) on Boxing Day. Jarick Bale became only the second greyhound to secure successive Sale Cups, joining Wylie Boy (1995-96) – albeit he won those finals over the 511-metre sprint trip. It was Jarick Bale’s third G1 victory, and he continued his love affair with Sale’s 650m journey – six wins from eight starts. Trained by Mark Delbridge, Jarick Bale ($7.20) accelerated quickly from the ‘black’ trap (Box 7)…

Raw Dunkel a topliner in the making
Talented three-year-old Dunkel has plenty of improvement still to come but was able to score a relatively comfortable victory in the Frank O’Brien Handicap (1800m) at Sandown on Saturday despite giving favourite punters a few nervous moments. The Patrick Payne-trained gelding was slow to begin and was awkwardly placed last on the fence when rounding the home bend, but jockey Harry Coffey was able to coax the best out of the son of Dundeel, who sprinted quickly after finding clear air. Bred by Pencarrow Stud, Dunkel ($1.60 favourite) scored by 1¾-lengths over Barefoot…
St Lawrence remains unbeaten
The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained St Lawrence extended his unbeaten record to four when winning the Joe Brown Handicap (1800m) at Sandown Hillside on Boxing Day. St Lawrence ($1.50 favourite), ridden by John Allen in the benchmark 70 handicap, raced outside the leader Wetakemanhattan ($41) and wore down his on-pace rival to prevail by a long neck. “It was definitely more workmanlike than it was the last start but you can only keep winning,” Allen said of the son of Redwood. “The stronger tempo last time where he had…
Richardson and Norvall land Zabeel Classic double
Graham Richardson savoured one of the highlights of his career as Defibrillate brought a long-range plan to fruition in the Gr.1 Cambridge Stud Zabeel Classic (2050m) at Pukekohe on Boxing Day – a second consecutive triumph in the weight-for-age feature for Richardson and his training partner Rogan Norvall. The Matamata pair captured last year’s Zabeel Classic with the perennially under-rated $15 outsider Tiptronic, who won eight races and more than $800,000 in a 52-start career that ended with his retirement earlier this month. But Richardson and Norvall had a more-than-able…
