(Morgan Hancock/Racing Photos) The Chris Waller-trained Aeliana will once again face some of Australia’s top colts and geldings in the Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m). “The Thousand Guineas is so late she needed an extra two weeks in the paddock, so she’s a bit behind the others,” Waller explained about the filly, who finished second in the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) last spring. “It’s worked out well, but hopefully we’re not asking…

Derby hope Tuxedo enjoys faultless preparation 

Shaune Ritchie couldn’t have wished for a smoother run with Tuxedo (NZ) (Tivaci) into Saturday’s $1.25 million Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m).  The Cambridge horseman, who trains with Colm Murray, has enjoyed a trouble-free run with the well-named son of Tivaci and Ball Gown ahead of Saturday’s Trackside-sponsored feature.  “It’s getting harder to find the negatives around him, I suppose if you’re being picky then the traditional lead-up would have been the Avondale Guineas (Gr.2, 2100m),” Ritchie said.  Tuxedo hasn’t raced since he romped to victory in the Gr.2 Waikato…
