Tuxedo Shines in Wellington Stakes Victory
Shaune Ritchie and Colm Murray collected their second Group Three success in a matter of days at Otaki on Thursday, with Tuxedo(NZ) (Tivaci) stamping himself as an early Derby prospect when winning the Gr.3 Elsdon Park Wellington Stakes (1600m). The Cambridge training partnership won last Saturday’s Gr.3 Counties Cup (2100m) with Nereus, and partnering up once again with jockey Joe Doyle, they travelled to the Central Districts with a promising horse having just his second race-day start. The son of Tivaci won on debut at Te Aroha on October 30…
Karaka Millions is the goal for green colt
A tilt at the $1 million TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m) at Ellerslie in January is on the cards for promising juvenile Romanoff(NZ) (Belardo) following his maiden victory in the Uza Bus Two-Year-Old (1100m) at Otaki on Thursday. The son of Belardo showed plenty of inexperience on debut at Te Rapa earlier this month when over-racing during the middle stages and fading to finish last in the seven-horse field, and on Thursday he showed he still has plenty to learn despite posting his maiden victory. He jumped well for jockey…

The KBRC is working closely with Racing WA, the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, and state government officials to address the pressing issue. Without a sustainable solution, the potential…

Idyllic proves too slick in Levin Stakes
Idyllic winning the Levin Stakes (1200m) at Otaki on Thursday. Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) Idyllic is far from what Kate Hercock would describe the past 10 days, but a speedy mare with that name afforded her a moment of solace in Thursday’s Levin Stakes (1200m) at Otaki. Hercock tragically lost her fiancé Danny Champion last Monday and the Otaki meeting was her first back in the saddle since his passing. In a competitive open sprint, she continued her association with Stephen and Kevin Gray’s Idyllic, of whom…
