Tough return for Jimmy James Maguire

NZHarnessNews

By Michael Guerin Driver Ricky May admits Sunday’s $20,000 Garrards House And Hound Horotata Cup may not be the ideal comeback race for Jimmy James Maguire. But compared with what happened the last time he tried to go to the races the 3000m standing start at Methven will seem like a picnic. Jimmy James Maguire is having his first start since finishing eighth of nine in the Green Mile at Methven in early December, having been sixth to Don’t Stop Dreaming and Merlin in the Junior Free-For-All on Cup day…

40m back mark big hurdle for Sand Wave

NZHarnessNews

By Jonny Turner Sand Wave might have the biggest task in front of him among the powerful team Nathan Williamson starts on Wairio Cup Day. While the pacer is the class horse of the field in Sunday’s 2400m feature, he is going to need to bring all of his best qualities to overcome a massive 40m back mark. Williamson knows exactly how big that task could be, especially if Sand Wave’s key rivals set a fast tempo from their lesser handicaps. But the trainer-driver is comfortable in knowing he has…

Wallen victorious in inaugural Sir Patrick Hogan Karapiro Classic

NZRacingDesk

Promising galloper Wallen (NZ) (Tarzino) produced one of the standout performances on Legends Day at Te Rapa, claiming the inaugural Sir Patrick Hogan Karapiro Classic (1600m) in sensational fashion. The Sir Patrick Hogan Karapiro Classic was the third of the five newly-instated innovation races worth $350,000 this season, with eligible horses required to be maideners as of 31 July last year, the day before commencement of the new racing season. Wallen, a four-year-old son of Tarzino, was a relative late-starter commencing his career in September last year, though he has…

Fifth Group One for remarkable Mr Brightside

NZRacingDesk

Cult horse Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) commenced his autumn campaign in the Gr.1 C.F. Orr Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday and after looking beaten for much of the contest called on all his fighting qualities to mow down bold front runner Pride Of Jenni (Pride Of Dubai) and Buffalo River (Noble Mission) in the shadows of the post. The Ben, Will and JD Hayes-trained gelding has a never say die quality that has endeared him to racing fans and has been scarcely out of the money since crossing the…

Freedman bags first Sydney win with Ceerseven

NZRacingDesk

An astute piece of placement by trainer Mitch Freedman combined with a perfect Ben Melham ride has resulted in Ceerseven (NZ) (Complacent) pulling off a successful Sydney raid, when running out a ready winner of a BenchMark 78 Handicap over a mile at Randwick on Saturday. The son of Complacent was in a stalking position throughout as favourite Nana’s Wish (NZ) (Belardo) and Canadian Ruler (NZ) (Vancouver) set moderate fractions up front, and pounced when Melham pressed the go-button to score a dogged victory. Ceerseven had previously won at The…

Legarto too good in Herbie Dyke Stakes

NZRacingDesk

Matamata trainers Ken and Bev Kelso have long believed Legarto (NZ) (Proisir) had the potential to excel over 2000m, and their stable star proved them right on Saturday with a sparkling performance in the Gr.1 Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) at Te Rapa. Legarto was a Group One superstar on both sides of the Tasman as a three-year-old last season. She blew her rivals off the Riccarton track in a five-length New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) romp in the spring, then ventured to Melbourne in March and launched a stunning burst…

Luckless Lass gets her deserved Group One

NZRacingDesk

One of the unluckiest horses in the top echelon of New Zealand racing in recent times, Bonny Lass (NZ) (Super Easy) turned things around with a supreme front-running performance in Saturday’s Gr.1 BCD Group Sprint (1200m) at Te Rapa. The $400,000 weight-for-age feature was the first Group One victory for the Super Easy mare, whose long run of misfortune dates back to a raceday scratching from the Gr.1 Sistema Railway (1200m) on New Year’s Day last year. She returned for another shot at that race a year later and was…
