Moira and Kieran Murdoch’s renowned beach training has turned around the careers of countless gallopers over the years, and former Taranaki star Shamus (NZ) (Shamexpress) added his name to that list in Saturday’s $40,000 Northpine Waipu Cup (1400m) at Ruakaka. The highly talented Shamexpress gelding was a six-time winner from 13 starts for New Plymouth trainer Allan Sharrock, headed by the Gr.2 Wellington Guineas (1400m) as a three-year-old in 2022. He also placed in the Gr.2 Waikato Guineas (2000m) and Listed Lightning Handicap (1200m), and he finished a close sixth…

Berry The Cash too tough in Hastings Hurdle feature
They say weight can stop a train and for most of the 3100m of Saturday’s Te Whangai Romneys Hawke’s Bay Hurdle (3100m) that adage looked to be uncomfortably true for punters who backed red hot favourite Berry The Cash (NZ) (Jakkalberry) into a starting price of just $1.20 in the prestige jumping feature. Shooting for his fourth win in a row, the seven-year-old son of Jakkalberry took the first two fences on the journey awkwardly before finding his rhythm for rider Portia Matthews. Matthews didn’t panic and had him nicely…

Having claimed the race in 2019 on his way to winning the Melbourne Cup five months later, the rising eight-year-old gelding from Danny O’Brien’s barn showed there is still plenty of life in his old legs, preventing stablemate Young Werther in a stirring…
Connor has Dakota Lee, Darwin Carnival on his mind
Alice Springs trainer Greg Connor will be doing his best to match Terry Gillett’s star Dakota Lee with stablemates Flying Start and Luskin Hero at Pioneer Park on Sunday. Alice Springs trainer Greg Connor is undecided if he’ll take a team north for the Darwin Cup Carnival, which starts next weekend.

Big team of chances for Williamson
By Jonny Turner Matthew Williamson has chosen the right time to line up one of his biggest-ever teams at the races. Williamson brings nine runners south to Winton for Southland’s lucrative Winter Rewards Finals day on Saturday. While the trainer’s planning to have such a strong line up ready for such a big meeting has been pinpoint, Williamson couldn’t plan for the series of tricky barrier draws he has been handed. Even under preferential terms, the numbers haven’t exactly fallen Williamson’s way. But it may just mean the reinsman will…
Milford poised to make amends
It did not take long for Milford’s (NZ) (Savabeel) recent drought-breaking long-odds win to be forgotten by the Mike Moroney stable. The Savabeel gelding got home at $31 at Flemington on May 18 but was then desperately unlucky at the same track three weeks later. The six-year-old got shuffled back to last on the home turn and struggled for clear running for most of the straight but still finished fourth, beaten 1-1/2 lengths. As galling as that result was, it confirmed to the stable what they felt coming into the…
Hall has high hopes for Atullibigeal
David Hall hopes Atullibigeal (Street Boss) can add further lustre to his stable’s strong season with victory in the HK$2.84 million Class 2 Hong Kong Reunification Cup Handicap (1400m) at Sha Tin on Monday. With 41 wins, Hall is only three victories short of matching his career-best haul of 44 wins in a Hong Kong season after a campaign crowned by Invincible Sage’s Gr.1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m) triumph in April. Atullibigeal, a Listed in New Zealand, has delivered two of Hall’s wins this season in a 12-start campaign which…
