Mile beckons for Mr Brightside

NZRacingDesk

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

NZRacingDesk

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.…

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.

High-flying pair on a Great Northern pursuit

NZRacingDesk

Mark Oulaghan’s star jumpers West Coast(NZ) (Mettre En Jeu) and Berry The Cash (NZ) (Jakkalberry) were unstoppable in last month’s Grand National contests, and on Sunday, they are heavily-favoured to add the Great Northern equivalents to their formidable records. West Coast has largely been the benchmark for steeplechasers in New Zealand for the past two seasons, winning a multitude of prestige crowns, including three-straight editions of the Grand National Steeplechase (5600m), the first in history to do so.
