Nigel Tiley is hoping to see a deserved maiden success for Vila Belmiro (Santos) as he lines up a warm-favourite for the TAB 1100 at Ellerslie on Wednesday. A son of Santos, Vila Belmiro made his debut as a juvenile in the Listed Challenge Stakes (1100m), but was not seen raceday for the following 15 months as his Pukekohe trainer allowed him to mature. “I thought he was going to be a natural two-year-old, but he just went through a big growing stage and went shin-sore after his first start,”…

Fantastic month for Temperton
Manawatu horsewoman Gail Temperton has experienced a stellar month, which got even better on Saturday when her homebred mare Royal Flower attained black-type when placing in the Gr.3 Martin Collins New Zealand Manawatu Breeders’ Stakes (2100m) at Trentham. While the outsider in the field for Saturday’s contest, Royal Flower’s result didn’t come as a surprise to Temperton, who was delighted to earn some black-type with her mare. “It is always good for a mare, especially as I am a breeder as well. It was very nice – a good run…
Antrim Coast continues on Derby path
Antrim Coast continued his upward Derby trajectory on Saturday, despite having to settle for second in the Listed Galilee Series Final (2400m) at Caulfield. The Stephen Marsh-trained three-year-old finished second behind Orchestral in the Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) in March and franked that form with a tough victory in the Gr.3 Alistair Clark Stakes (2040m) over Kiwi filly Quintessa at The Valley. Antrim Coast lined-up on Saturday at much shorter odds, but came off second-best to fellow Kiwi-bred Gold Wolf, going down by a head. Marsh was pleased with…

Imperatriz on Monday flies home to New Zealand, where she will spell before returning to Cranbourne later…
Double for Dennis at home meeting
Ascot Park trainer Robert Dennis continued his good run of form at his home track on Sunday, securing a winning double and bookending the eight-race meeting in the process. “We have won five races in eight days now, so we have been going alright,” he said. Hasstobeyou kicked off the meeting in winning fashion when taking out the Editor’s Cut Sports Bar Handicap (1200m). The daughter of Darci Brahma was tardily away but quickly made up her early deficit and found herself in the trail behind pacemaker Papagena. Hasstobeyou enjoyed…
Blandford investment in mare continuing to pay off
An investment in an English mare more than 30 years ago is continuing to reward Blandford Lodge, with a homebred descendant successful on the opening day of The Championships at Randwick. The John O’Shea-trained Good Banter appreciated the step up in distance to claim the Gr.3 Adrian Knox Stakes (2000m) and double her winning tally from a handful of appearances. “It was fantastic to get a win on that day, it was really good and being by Tavistock out of that family she was always going to be a middle-distance…
