Joliestar, a four-year-old mare, is the equal $5 favourite with horse racing bookmakers for the $20 million Everest (1200m) after her dominant first-up win in the Show County Quality (1200m), where she beat Our Kobison by 2.9 lengths. Waller is optimistic she can replicate that performance this weekend. “At that level, it…

Mile beckons for Mr Brightside

Ben Hayes believes that the conditions are more in Mr Brightside’s (NZ) (Bullbars) favour this time around as he prepares to take on Via Sistina in Saturday’s Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m). The pair has only met once before, in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick during the autumn, when Via Sistina finished second and Mr Brightside third in a race that they were both comprehensively beaten in by tearaway leader Pride Of Jenni. “I think at a mile, it will be a great race,” said Hayes, who trains…

Furlong has pride in Warmonger

A sense of pride, not regret, is the overarching emotion when Kiwi trainer Anna Furlong watches Warmonger (NZ) (War Decree) step onto the racetrack. Furlong and her then-training partner Shane Kennedy paid NZ$165,000 for the son of War Decree at the 2022 NZB Ready To Run Sale at Karaka, almost 12 months after he was sold as a yearling for NZ$75,000. It was obvious the youngster had ability but an offer from OTI Racing following his dominant win in an Ashburton trial meant his time in their stable was short-lived.…

The Victress chasing Riccarton black-type success

The Victress will contest the Listed Canterbury Belle Stakes (1200m) at Riccarton on Saturday. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) The Victress has got the nod as Te Akau’s leading black-type chance at Riccarton on Saturday, but it might be an opposing stablemate who will lead the chase for higher honours later in the season. The Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson-trained daughter of Zousain will run in the Listed Canterbury Belle Stakes (1200m) with About Last Night and Dream Of The Moon to also represent the stable. Opie Bosson will be…
