Shinzo handed Chris Waller his first win in the Golden Slipper. Shinzo has taken out the world’s richest two-year-old race as Chris Waller claims his first ever success in the Golden Slipper. It comes after Waller took out the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas with Lindermann early in the day and Ryan Moore booking his second Group 1 win of the day as well after steering Dubai Honour home in the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes. If was a perfectly time ride form Ryan Moore stealing rails runs from barrier one and…

Anamoe was simply a class above in the George Ryder Stakes. After electing to head the way of the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes with Anamoe as opposed to the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes, James Cummings and James McDonald will be breathing a sigh of relief after clinging on to victory. Anamoe showed his champion qualities to secure his ninth Group 1 win on Saturday afternoon at Rosehill, after being set an enormous task mid-race, sitting three-wide without cover the entire 1500m journey. James McDonald jumped well on the Street…

Dubai Honour gave his rivals a smashing in the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes. Dubai Honour for William Haggas and star jockey Ryan Moore have combined to win the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes in emphatic fashion. The European gelding was brought over on a mission similarly to Addeybb; who travelled to Australia completing the Ranvet Stakes and Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes double in 2020. He got into as short as $4.20 but punters seemed concerned with his form on drier surfaces appearing a query to some, seeing the eventual winner…

Moonee Valley is in an indefinite delay on All Star Mile Day. (Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Young jockey Teo Nugent has suffered a nasty fall in Saturday’s Listed Abell Stakes at Moonee Valley on All Star Mile Day. The Group 1 winning hoop was aboard the Amy & Ash Yargi-trained Florescent Star when the pair struck trouble on the home turn in the 1200m sprint. The pair looked to have trying to take a run that had not fully appeared and unfortunately for rider and horse, they were separated. Nugent’s fall…

The Group 1 $2 million Australian Derby (2400m) on April 1 is unlikely for the Chris Waller-trained Lindermann despite the colt’s brave all-the-way upset in the 2023 Rosehill Guineas results on Golden Slipper Day.

Improving on a lead-up second in the Randwick Guineas over a mile the son of Lonhro was huge off a simply flawless Nash Rawiller ride in this year’s Group 1 $600,000 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) to narrowly deny the…

Sword Point (inside) heads Lor’s Derby arsenal. Chasing a second Hong Kong Derby (2000m) triumph, Frankie Lor is upbeat ahead of the HK$24 million Classic at Sha Tin on Sunday despite the contrasting form lines of Sword Point and Keefy. Lor agrees Sword Point, to be ridden by Hugh Bowman, is clearly his stable’s top contender based on recent form, a favourable barrier (six) and performance over the Derby trip (unbeaten from one attempt at 2000m in Australia). “Sword Point is a really good horse for me at this moment.…

Lindermann put his head down in time to claim the Rosehill Guineas under urgings from Nash Rawiller. Chris Waller and Nash Rawiller have combined for Group 1 success as Lindermann proved too strong, getting his head down on the line to secure the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas on Saturday. It’s been a preparation of improvement for this Lonhro colt, as he worked his way from BM78 level first-up before finding second in the Group 1 Randwick Guineas last time out. He was a front running eye-catcher on that occasion and…
