Dunkel proved too strong for his rivals on Saturday winning the Vale Verry Elleegant Handicap (2000m) at Caulfield. Photo: Bruno Cannatelli The opening race at Caulfield on Saturday was named in honour of an iconic New Zealand-bred champion, and it was fitting that Dunkel won it with some of the stamina and toughness that top-flight Kiwi stayers are renowned for. The $150,000 Vale Verry Elleegant (2000m) was given its name after Verry Elleegant sadly died due to foaling complications earlier in the week. Dunkel’s one Group One victory in last…

Tough mark for Jimmy James Maguire
By Mike Love Jimmy James Maguire ($6.00FF) will need to overcome a tough mark in today’s Gallagher Insurance Ashburton Cup, though Swannanoa trainer Brendon Hill is happy with how the five-year-old old son of Bettors Delight has progressed since his last start victory at Methven on February 11. “That was a great win for the owners. He has come on very good since then. I’m happy with him. “The handicap today is a bit of a concern. 20m over 2400m around Ashburton will not be easy at all. “I’m not…
