Little Avondale Stud’s Sam Williams didn’t need to be asked twice to remain in the ownership group of rising three-year-old star Evaporate. Williams snapped up the opportunity after the homebred son of resident sire Per Incanto was sold through Sledmere Stud’s draft at the 2023 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for A$330,000. Secured by Lindsay Park, the Ben, JD and Will Hayes-trained Evaporate posted his fourth consecutive victory when he trumped his rivals in Friday evening’s Gr.2 Stutt Stakes (1600m) at The Valley. “He was a cracking type and…

Bold pairing on target for Arrowfield
Robbie Patterson will have seen plenty of the central North Island by Wednesday’s Gr.1 Arrowfield Stud Plate (1600m) meeting at Matamata, but a softer track poses a positive for his talented pairing of One Bold Cat (NZ) (The Bold One) and Puntura (NZ) (Vespa). Based at New Plymouth, Patterson travelled across to Hastings last Saturday for the elite-level contest but returned to his base without a representative stepping foot on the track. That has been an unfortunate theme of late for One Bold Cat, a Group Three-winning son of The…
Forsman on the hunt for lightweight Caulfield Cup jockey
Caulfield Cup contender, Positivity. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) Trainer Andrew Forsman has indicated that Positivity, fresh off her victory in the Group 3 MRC Foundation Cup (2000m), is likely to contest the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m). Forsman is now seeking a jockey to ride at the light weight of 50 kilograms. Initially hesitant to push his Group 2 SA Fillies Classic (2500m) winner too hard this spring, Positivity’s recent performance, where she narrowly defeated Future History, has changed his outlook. “We are very tempted,” Forsman told Racing.com about…

The six-year-old, a dual Group 2 winner, hasn’t raced since finishing last in the Group 1 Champions Sprint (1200m) last November. Plans for an overseas campaign were scrapped when McDonald wasn’t completely satisfied with the gelding’s condition. “He trialled terrific,” McDonald told Racing.com. “It’s probably the soundest I’ve ever had this horse,…
Freedman’s abort Flight Stakes plan for Ameena
Group 2 winner, Ameena. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Ameena (Tassort) has been withdrawn from this weekend’s Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) at Randwick, with trainers Anthony and Sam Freedman opting to target the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) on Caulfield Cup Day instead. The filly secured a victory in the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) in August but couldn’t replicate that performance in the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on September 21, where she finished seventh. “It was a funny race,” Sam Freedman commented.…

Jakama Krystal shines in Woodville redemption
Jakama Krystal (NZ) (Jakkalberry) was back for redemption in the final jumping race of the season on Sunday and she earned just that, storming to victory in the Property Brokers Pahiatua/Woodville (4000m). The Jakkalberry mare had competed at the Woodville venue earlier this month in the open steeplechase and looked the winner at the 600m, before landing awkwardly and dislodging her rider after jumping that fence. Peter and Jessica Brosnan elected to back her up the following weekend at Te Rapa where she was solid in third, but returning to…
Dictation finishes with a flourish at Woodville
Promising hurdler Dictation (NZ) (Tavistock) finished his jumping season in style at Woodville on Sunday, putting on the complete performance to take out the Toll Free Tararua (3000m). The son of Tavistock has had a near-faultless first season hurdling, winning undercard races on major days at Hawke’s Bay and Riccarton Park, albeit the latter coming as a consolation after he dislodged the jockey at the final fence of the Sydenham Hurdles (3100m). Returning to the North Island, Dictation was defeated by fellow rising star Mugshot at Woodville, before coming in…
