Talented stayer Horrifying (NZ) (Shocking) caused a minor upset when defeating highly-regarded galloper Berkshire Breeze (Mastercraftsman) in the Inside Run Trophy (2530m) at Flemington on Saturday. The seven-year-old son of Shocking was having his third start for Warrnambool conditioner Lindsey Smith, having previously been trained by Mark and Levi Kavanagh. Beach life has given Horrifying a new lease on life as he made it back to back victories at Flemington after breaking a long run of outs a fortnight ago when successful over 2000m at the premier Melbourne racecourse.

West Coast sets scene for Grand National showdown
Outstanding steeplechaser West Coast (NZ) (Mettre En Jeu) laid down the gauntlet to fellow superstar jumper The Cossack for supremacy in next weekend’s Racecourse Hotel & Motor Lodge Grand National Steeplechase (5600m) in emphatic fashion at Riccarton on Saturday. Shooting for his second win in three attempts at the traditional lead-up event, the Racecourse Hotel & Motor Lodge Koral Steeplechase (4250m), the nine-year-old son of Mettre En Jeu never looked like he got out of third gear as he ambled around behind pacemaker Al’s Red Zed before making his bid…
Berry The Cash wins Sydenham Hurdles
Berry The Cash (NZ) (Jakkalberry), the hot favourite for the Hospitality New Zealand Canterbury Grand National Hurdles (4200m) next weekend, completed the perfect dress rehearsal for that feature when taking out the Avon City Ford Sydenham Hurdles (3100m) on Saturday, albeit with a healthy dose of racing luck. The Mark Oulaghan-prepared eight-year-old was shooting for win number six in a row but looked likely to settle for a gallant runner-up finish under his 73kgs topweight when the Paul Nelson-trained Dictation held a clear three-length margin on his rival approaching the…

Robl still positive despite Hadouken’s poor Darwin Cup draw

(Ross Holburt/Racing Photos) Gold Coast trainer Peter Robl had every right to be disappointed when in-form six-year-old gelding Hadouken drew the outside gate in the $200,000 Darwin Cup (2050m) on Monday. During Thursday’s barrier draw at Fannie Bay, a representative randomly selected the gate for their horse and unfortunately Hadouken’s name was the last to appear. With the Cup accommodating 12 starters and three emergencies, barrier 15 was the last available. The son of Real Impact, who will…
