Bosch doubles up on home track

Bosch and Kelly Myers clear their rivals to win the Tai Tokerau Cup at Ruakaka on Saturday. Photo: Therese Davis (Race Images) Trainer Michelle Bradley has a soft spot for her promising stayer Bosch, and he certainly earned an extra dipper in his Saturday night feed when he cruised clear to capture the Tai Tokerau Cup (2200m) on his home patch at Ruakaka. Bradley had nominated the six-year-old gelding as one of her top chances on the day and after she produced Arabella to take out the second race on…

Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) A brilliant return to racing in Saturday’s Listed El Roca-Sir Colin Meads Trophy (1200m) at Hastings sent a clear message that Poetic Champion will be a force to be reckoned with in three-year-old ranks this season.

I Wish I Win ready for Moir assault

Everyone enjoys a winter holiday in the sun and racehorses appear to be no different.  A case in point is the Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman-trained I Wish I Win (NZ) (Savabeel) who runs first-up in the Gr.1 Moir Stakes (1000m) at Moonee Valley on Saturday.  The contrast between I Wish I Win’s past two winters could not be more telling after the sprinter spent one in the cold in Victoria and another in the warmth of Queensland.  Admittedly I Wish I Win raced further into winter this year than he did last, but Coleman said the…

Cooksley aiming to replicate riding deeds in Tarzino Trophy

Grant Cooksley won the Gr.1 Westbury Stud Tarzino Trophy (1400m) as a jockey seven years ago aboard the Shelley Hale-trained Close Up, and on Saturday he will vie to capture the Hastings feature as a trainer. His win aboard Close Up was the last of Cooksley’s 66 Group One victories in the saddle, and he said he got a massive thrill out of scoring his first win in the race for Hale. “He won it quite well, it was good to get the win for Shelley,” Cooksley said. “I hadn’t…
