Illicit Dreams winning Saturday’s Listed Pegasus Stakes (1000m) at Riccarton. Photo: Ajay Berry (Race Images South) Riccarton is a home away from home for speedy Ruakaka mare Illicit Dreams, who added a blistering front-running win in Saturday’s Listed Pegasus Stakes (1000m) to her proud record at the Christchurch track.

Reputation winning Rating 75 (1300m) at Te Rapa on Saturday. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Progressive mare Reputation kicked off a new campaign at Te Rapa on Saturday in fine style when she produced a fighting front running effort to claim the Maven Waikato 1300 (1300m).

Rider Vinnie Colgan was…

When Stars Align will contest the Group 1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton on Saturday.

The trans-Tasman operation has a strong record in the Riccarton feature, having won seven previous editions – Noverre (2021), Embellish (2017), Xtravagant (2015), Rock ‘N’ Pop (2011), Tell A Tale…
