Barnes records five-timer at Wingatui

NZRacingDesk

Northern-based hoop Courtney Barnes returned to her hometown of Wingatui on Friday where she recorded the biggest highlight of her career when riding home five winners on the 10-race card. All five runners are trained by her former employers Brian and Shane Anderton, which further added to the occasion for Barnes. “I have only won three before (in a meeting), so to get five today was great,” Barnes said. “It means even more doing it for BJ and Shane, they were massive supporters of mine when I was starting out,…

Sutton loves Magpies’ Feroce link

NZRacingDesk

When Feroce (NZ) (Super Seth) took out the Gr.1 Australian Guineas (1600m), giving him his first elite-level win as a trainer, Dom Sutton was nonetheless more than happy to share the limelight in terms of publicity with Collingwood coach Craig McRae, who has a share in the horse.

Sutton wasn’t surprised that McRae’s part-ownership in Feroce stole the headlines because, since arriving in Australia,…

NZRacingDesk

Danny O’Brien can find enough reasons to assess his hardy galloper Young Werther (NZ) (Tavistock) as ‘a blowout chance’ in Saturday’s Gr.1 Australian Cup (2000m) at Flemington. “He’s got enough good runs at the track and distance at Group One level to say he’s in the mix,” O’Brien said of his $61 chance with Sportsbet, who will be ridden by Daniel Stackhouse. He also finished third in the 2023 Champions Stakes, with the only time he didn’t fire coming in last year’s Australian Cup, when he finished seventh but pulled…

Initially purchased by Go Racing out of Waikato Stud’s 2019 New…
