Dyer eyes more Darwin Cup success with Kaonic, Mohican Heights

Victorian trainer Neil Dyer is back in the Top End for his 16th consecutive Darwin Cup Carnival.

South Coast Arden looks to go three in a row

By Adam Hamilton Former Kiwi pacer South Coast Arden looks to have found the right race to stretch his unbeaten NSW streak to three at Menangle on Saturday night. The class gelding has clearly enjoyed the switch to Australia as evidenced by an impressive first-up win at Bathurst, followed by a narrow but blistering 1min49.1sec mile win at Menangle on June 3. Connections opted for the move from Brent Mangos’ NZ stables to NSW when South Coast Arden raced below his best late last year, culminating with 15th in the…

Youngsters coming out to play at Alexandra Park

By Michael Guerin The second wave of Steve Telfer’s juvenile army launch their assault on Alexandra Park tonight and the premiership trainer says strength could end up being the deciding factor. Telfer is the head of New Zealand harness racing’s biggest stable, training in partnership with his sister Amanda and Hayden Cullen, and after dominating the domestic sales market in recent years he decided to flex some of that equine muscle last week. The stable produced the trifecta in last Thursday’s juvenile race, with Rock Band the first of their…

Legarto set for Flemington return

In daunting news for her spring rivals, Australian Guineas winner Legarto (NZ) (Proisir) will return a bigger and stronger version again in the new season as connections target a possible return during the Melbourne Spring Carnival. Co-trainer Ken Kelso said on Wednesday that the already sizeable filly has grown into a formidable athlete over her winter break and quickly showed her class with her first light gallop at Matamata on Tuesday. “She’s bigger and stronger than what she was then,” Kelso said of the dual Group 1 winner. “She’s really…

Pinn puts claim battle behind

New Zealand apprentice Wiremu Pinn joked his mount Born Hustler (Tarzino) would have won by 10 lengths had he still been able to claim 3kg in the Melbourne metropolitan area. Pinn had his claim reduced from 3kg to 2kg for Wednesday’s meeting at Sandown after an audit of his New Zealand wins showed he had 23 victories in races at ‘Premier’ meetings or in ‘Premier’ races. Racing Victoria Stewards are continuing enquiries into the mix up that allowed the apprentice to claim 3kg when he arrived in Melbourne ahead of…

Impulsive online bid leads to budding star Antino

Trainer Tony Gollan has made little secret of the high-regard in which he holds progressive galloper Antino (NZ) (Redwood). The striking son of Redwood has hardly put a foot wrong as he steps through his grades and made short-work of his seasoned rivals in the Listed Wayne Wilson (1600m) last Saturday at Eagle Farm.   It was the first black-type victory for the rising star four-year-old, who has now won eight of his nine career starts that has already netted more than A$350,000 in stakes. Now enjoying a well-deserved break,…
