No luck for Merlin in Taylor Mile draw

NZHarnessNews

By Michael Guerin Merlin’s horror run of draws continued in the $100,000 Dawson Harford Taylor Mile at Alexandra Park on Friday night. The Race by betcha third placegetter is the biggest name backing up from the $1million slot race in this Friday’s mile but has copped the outside of the front line. That comes after he drew wide in the big race last Friday and the second line in the Flying Mile at Cambridge the week before. He even drew wide in the free-for-all he was entered for, but didn’t…

NZHarnessNews

By Brigette Solomon  Benjamin Butcher is looking forward to today’s Manawatu meeting where his two runners back up after a successful day on Sunday.

Warrnambool target for Leaderboard

NZRacingDesk

Te Akau jumper Leaderboard is set to head to the Warrnambool carnival later this month following his triumph in the Open Steeplechase (3250m) at Ballarat on Sunday. The 10-year-old son of Street Cry, who is raced by syndicator Fortuna, won seven races on the flat in New Zealand, including the Gr.3 Wellington Cup (3200m) and Listed New Zealand St Leger (2600m). He then transferred to Te Akau’s Cranbourne base where he has added three further wins to his tally, along with placings in last year’s Grand National Hurdle (4200m) and…

Willydoit signs off for Clotworthys

NZRacingDesk

Shaun and Emma Clotworthy didn’t quite get their fairytale finish with Willydoit in Saturday’s A$2 million Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m), but the couple walk away with plenty to look forward to in the gelding’s future across the Tasman. Willydoit triumphed in emphatic style in the Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) at Ellerslie last month, warranting a trip to take on Australia’s best staying three-year-olds on the first day of The Championships at Royal Randwick. Reuniting with Kiwi expat jockey Mick Dee, Willydoit jumped well and was handy early, eventually settling…

McCarroll’s bargain mare a gilt-edged investment

NZRacingDesk

Ross McCarroll didn’t have to think very long or hard to name a filly he bought for loose change at Karaka in 2007. The Cambridge horseman handed over $100 for a yearling offered through Wentwood Grange’s draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s Autumn Mixed Bloodstock Sale and her subsequent moniker was apt on two fronts. “Because she was by Desert Fox, we called her Stole which is worn around your neck (often a fur), but now it’s become more the other way (price),” McCarroll said. “I watched her at Karaka and…

Rich Hill in awe of sensational Derby winner

NZRacingDesk

Rich Hill Stud principal John Thompson is no stranger to success on Australia’s biggest stage, but even he watched in awe as the filly he co-bred in Aeliana stormed away with Saturday’s $2 million Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m). A bridesmaid in each of the Gr.1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) and Gr.1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m), Aeliana had proven she was right up with the boys and they were no match as she stepped over a mile and a half for the first time, capitalising off a perfect run in transit to power…

Bishara strikes gold once more

NZRacingDesk

Nick Bishara was left pinching himself on Saturday after he watched his filly Belle Detelle breakthrough for her maiden stakes victory in the Gr.3 Adrian Knox Stakes (2000m) at Randwick. The Ardmore horseman looks to have struck gold for the second time, with Belle Detelle being a three-quarter sister to his ill-fated champion racemare Verry Elleegant, who recorded 11 Group One victories. Like Verry Elleegant, Belle Detelle is trained by leading Sydney trainer Chris Waller, and has now accrued an envious record of two wins and three placings from five…
