Stellar run continues for The Good Shepherd
The Good Shepherd’s (NZ) (Power) stellar run of form continued at Ascot Park on Saturday, powering through late to win the Cruickshank Pryde Southland Stakes (1200m) for Lee Callaway. A seven-year-old by Power, The Good Shepherd was trained by his owner, Stephen Blair-Edie, until April last year, when he handed over the reins to Callaway. The gelding had previously shown a liking to soft track conditions, but through the current term, has been a model of consistency on top of the ground, including an impressive win at Wingatui in mid-January.…
Moschino making her mark for Falconer
Promising filly Moschino (NZ) (Ten Sovereigns) put together two victories in quick succession on Saturday at Matamata, winning the Ancroft Developments (1400m). The daughter of Ten Sovereigns had been placed in the first four on six occasions before breaking her maiden at Te Rapa on January 31, making her a key player in the MAAT contest worth $40,000. Michael McNab, who went on to ride a treble at the meeting, retained the ride on Moschino for the race and looked in control from the outset, settling in the one-one with…
Big journey pays off for Waverley mare
Steal My Thunder (NZ) (Derryn) was a long way from home at Ascot Park on Saturday, but that didn’t stop the mare from taking home the major spoils in the ODT Southern Mile Qualifier – Summer Cup (1600m). The daughter of Derryn is trained at Waverley by Bill Thurlow, who identified next month’s $200,000 ODT Southern Mile Final (1600m) as a possible target for the mare after a convincing last-start win at her local course. Needing maximum points to be in contention for the final field, Steal My Thunder crossed…
Noble Knight too tough in Invercargill Gold Cup
Battle-hardened stayer Noble Knight (NZ) (Ghibellines) is set to deal to some unfinished business in Dunedin after digging deep to take out the Baillie & Lewis Pharmacy Invercargill Gold Cup (2600m) at Ascot Park on Saturday. The $60,000 race was the first Cup win for the seven-year-old, who has previously competed with credit in staying features on both sides of the Tasman. Noble Knight was beaten by two necks when he finished third in the Listed Dunedin Gold Cup (2400m) at Wingatui last summer. Since then he has run fifth…

Aussie News – February 16
By Adam Hamilton It wasn’t the night the Kiwis hoped for at Menangle.

They were both sound runs in a race dominated from the front by last year’s TAB Eureka runner-up Bay Of Biscay in a scorching 1min49.8sec mile.
