Alice Springs trainer Kerry Petrick and jockey Paul Denton combined for yet another victory in the NT on Saturday with Venting taking out the Katherine Cup (1700m). It was another big NT win for Kerry Petrick’s Venting after claiming the $30,000 Katherine Cup (1700m) on Saturday. Ridden by Paul Denton, the six-year-old gelding pounced in the home straight to overcome Gary Clarke’s Pink Panther – the $2.80 favourite with online bookmakers – by 5.6 lengths with Neil Dyer’s Ziggi Rocks ($6.50) four lengths adrift in third place.

Cameron’s stayer Raajoices heavy conditions

NZRacingDesk

Catherine Cameron’s stayer Raajoices (NZ) (Iffraaj) was back in the winner’s circle in dominant fashion at Rotorua on Sunday, claiming the Terry Fitzpatrick Memorial (2200m). A son of Iffraaj, Raajoices had been finishing midfield in races throughout his current campaign, but was truly in his element when striking the heavy ten conditions later in the programme. Trailing the field throughout behind a strong tempo set by Shocking Penny, Jay Kozaczek coped plenty of kick back aboard Raajoices but remained patient, allowing the gelding to sweep around the field effortlessly turning…

Entering the open contest, Mont Ventoux was rated a $8.10 third-favourite in a market dominated by previously…

Stakes targets for Illicit Dreams

NZRacingDesk

Ruakaka trainer Kenny Rae has a great record campaigning horses in the South Island and he is hoping that will continue this spring when he heads to Riccarton with Saturday winner Illicit Dreams (NZ) (Vancouver). The well-travelled four-year-old had been in great form on her home track over winter, placing in all four of her starts, including a last start third behind Group One winner Crocetti (NZ) (Zacinto) and Group Three winner Master Fay (Deep Field). Rae went into Saturday’s Mountfield Quarry (1100m) quietly confident, and that was duly rewarded…
