Tobias too tough in Poverty Bay Cup at Hastings
Promising winter galloper Tobias provided Tony Dravitzki with the highlight of his training career so far in Saturday’s Vintech Pacific Poverty Bay Cup (1600m) at Hastings. Tobias has rapidly risen through the grades in recent months, going from placing at Rating 65 grade in April to winning back-to-back Rating 75’s, presenting the opportunity to contest the $55,000 feature. Dravitzki often has engaged apprentice jockeys to decrease the diminutive gelding’s impost and four-kilogram claimer Elle Sole brought his weight down to just 50kg, placing him a key hope at $3.90 with…
Fiery Red shines for Price at Wingatui
Consistent southern mare Fiery Red (NZ) (Iffraaj) relished the testing conditions at Wingatui on Sunday, collecting top honours in the Grand Casino R80 1600. The Iffraaj mare has been a reliable performer for Sophie Price since entering her stable in 2021, winning six races in 33 attempts prior to Sunday’s contest, where she was light in the market drifting to $4 while Anticipate and Gintys Girl were backed into favouritism. Local apprentice Ruvanesh Muniandy decreased Fiery Red’s top-weight to 56kg and settled her quietly in midfield, allowing Gintys Girl and…
Blue-blooded Full Tilt on the market in National Online Breeding Stock Sale

Spencer extends winning streak to three
Although understandably a little tired after making the long trip from their Waverley base to Hastings and back yesterday, both trainer Erin Hocquard and her rising star Spencer (NZ) (Derryn) were feeling satisfied about a job well done.

Hocquard was nervous before the race as to how the star…

A son of Tavistock, Dictation collected a pair of victories on the flat in…
