James Price - Inglis’ Victorian bloodstock manager - is confident the 2023 Australian sales season will end in style at Oaklands Junction in Victoria.

Inglis will host its annual Great Southern Sale, where 420 lots will be offered across Thursday and Friday.

“We’re very much looking forward to the Inglis Great Southern Sale across the next two days. There’s some lovely foals to sell, as well as mares,” Price told TDN AusNZ.

As part of the sale, the Cathy Hains-owned Burnewang North Pastoral will consign 13 weanlings, including a much-hyped filly by global superstar sire Frankel (GB).

Consigned at Lot 64, the filly hails from a lovely Aga Khan family that includes the brilliant Vadeni (Fr) (Churchill {Ire}) - a two-time Group 1 hero and runner-up in last year’s G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

The filly is the first foal from the unraced Invincible Spirit (Ire) mare Vedema (Fr) and her grandam, Vedouma (Fr) (Dalakhani {Ire}), won in Listed grade and is a sister to the Group 2 scorer Vadamar (Fr).

The filly’s third dam is the Group 1 victress Vadawina (Ire) (Unfuwain {USA}).

Price is certain she will attract plenty of attention.

“She goes through the ring nice and early on Thursday morning and we’re so grateful to Cathy Hains and the entire Burnewang North team for presenting such a wonderful filly,” Price told TDN AusNZ.

“It’s a standout draft in the catalogue and we’re tremendously fortunate to have them support the sale with their entire 2022 foal crop.

“We wish them the best of luck with the Frankel filly and the other lovely foals they have going through the ring.”

The Burnewang North draft includes progeny by Kingman (GB), Churchill (Ire), Shamus Award, Written Tycoon, Dundeel (NZ) and Maurice (Jpn), among others.

Lot 315 is a half-sister to the Burnewang North-bred Group 1 victor On The Bubbles (Brazen Beau). The Written Tycoon filly is the third foal of More Bubbles (Sebring) and she herself is a half-sister to the Group 1 heroine Politeness (Street Sense {USA}) and the Group 3 winner Green Aeon (Snitzel).

Lot 323 is a Maurice filly out of the winning Commands mare National Velvet, making her a half-sister to The Fortune Teller (Caravaggio {USA}). That gelding was bred by Burnewang North and Peter Raftopoulous and won this year’s G3 Carbine Club S. at Randwick.

Top sires represented

In addition to the Burnewang North draft, the sale features weanlings by 103 individual sires, including Camelot (GB), Zoustar, So You Think (NZ), Toronado (Ire), Russian Revolution, Capitalist, Pierro, Lonhro, Street Boss (USA), Justify (USA), Spirit Of Boom, The Autumn Sun and Blue Point (Ire).

A host of first-crop sires will also be represented, including Admire Mars (Jpn), Anders, Bivouac, Cool Aza Beel (NZ), Doubtland, Earthlight (Ire), Farnan, King’s Legacy, Ole Kirk, Prague, Russian Camelot (Ire), Tagaloa and Wootton Bassett (GB).

“It’s been a happy hunting ground for many years for racetrack users and also pinhookers. There’s plenty of those on the ground looking for their next gem,” said Price.

“This sale has an important place, particularly on the weanling calendar. It sits at the end of the season and it’s the last I suppose real live opportunity, other than Inglis Digital, to buy a weanling. Those pinhookers that haven’t bought the quota that they were aiming to seem to come here with what tends to be described as a bit of a frenzy.

“Those foals which qualify or have Select Yearling Sale criteria, we expect them to sell very well.”

A diverse bunch of broodmares

Among the broodmare offerings are mares in foal to elite stallions such as Hellbent Pierro, Russian Revolution, So You Think, Toronado and Trapeze Artist.

They are joined by quality mares off the track including Queen Adele (Lot 418). The daughter of Adelaide (Ire) and Demandz (NZ) (Lonhro) will be offered by Alderson Racing and is a two-time winner and Listed placegetter. Queen Adele is a half-sister to Cindy Alderson’s star sprinter Jigsaw (Manhattan Rain) - a Group 2 scorer.

The other member of the Alderson Racing draft is Veranskova (Written Tycoon). Consigned as Lot 381, the 5-year-old won five races and $295,650 and was Group 3-placed.

“She’s landed here on the grounds and she’s in tremendous order,” Price said.

“She’s a lovely roomy, scopey Written Tycoon mare, who obviously has a really good rating.

“She has finished her racing days and has that all-important black type on her page. She’s from a very good family and by a highly commercial stallion.

“We expect her to sell well on Friday afternoon.”

Rushton Park with another strong hand

David Johnson’s Rushton Park finished last year’s sale as the leading vendor by aggregate of both the weanling and broodmare sessions. The Tatura-based nursery sold 20 weanlings for a combined $1,479,000 (at an average of $73,950), while the four broodmares they parted with grossed $640,000 (at a sale-leading average of $160,000).

Rushton Park will offer 15 weanlings and 13 broodmares this week.

In conversation with: Jason Scott, the new CEO of Racing Queensland

Written by

Jessica Owers

11 min read

Jason Scott is the new CEO of Racing Queensland, a man that will bring his numbers game to the state’s three codes of racing. We pinned him down for a chat about a job that ‘cannot keep all the people happy all the time’.

In late April, Racing Queensland announced its new CEO as Jason Scott, whose name was known around the wagering traps of Ladbrokes and BetMGM.

It was an interesting appointment. Scott was a straight-shooting, good-talking, no-nonsense fellow with an expert aptitude for numbers, but he’d need a lot more than that to handle Queensland’s three codes of racing.

Scott was to take the position of the outgoing Brendan Parnell, who had overseen Racing Queensland since 2018 and who had been an “energetic and dynamic leader”. They were big shoes to fill in what many might call an invidious job, and reactions to Scott's appointment were mixed.

“I had texts from people I’d known for a long time, asking why in the hell I’d want to do it,” he said, speaking to TDN AusNZ. “I had plenty congratulating me and plenty more telling me I was what’s needed in here. I also had people telling me I was wasting my time, that I couldn’t change anything. It was probably a perfect microcosm of the racing industry.”

Jason Scott

As we sit down to chat with Scott, he's in the job just a month. It’s early days to be judging how he might go, but he already cuts a different cloth.

He has energy, confidence and approachability, and he’s quick to point out what he brings to the role of Racing Queensland CEO, but he's equally quick to point out what he doesn’t.

“The fact that I understand racing will help me,” he said. “I’ve got some really strong points in that I understand racing ops… I can talk to trainers, I can talk to jockeys.

“Where I have very little experience is building $100 million pieces of infrastructure, such as the greyhound and harness tracks we’re currently building. I have very little experience and influence in government, so they’re the bits I need to learn.”

“The fact that I understand racing will help me… I can talk to trainers, I can talk to jockeys. Where I have very little experience is building $100 million pieces of infrastructure...” - Jason Scott

Scott’s ability to admit his shortcomings is commendable, considering the weight of experience he brings to the role of CEO. He has served as the CEO of Ladbrokes Australia, and was the Vice President of Trading, VIP and Retail Operations for BetMGM, which took him to America for a tick under four years.

But even in an appointment as far-reaching as CEO of Racing Queensland, which probably requires a bit of ‘jack of all trades’ in its appointee, Scott is highly qualified because he understands the critical elements of industry and wagering.

“I think I understand what race clubs need, and what participants want,” he said. “Those are the skills I have and the skills I’m strong at, and I’m probably the complete opposite to the previous CEO, but that often tends to happen.

“When we see a change in senior management, we tend to look at areas where the predecessor wasn’t so strong, and I’m sure when I move on, we’ll probably have someone come in with a completely different set of skills to mine.”

Scott acknowledges that Parnell was an excellent predecessor. In fact, the outgoing CEO told him it was a good job, that he’d have complete autonomy. Scott accepted the role knowing it would spell a huge change to his working life, which before this had been in private enterprise.

“I didn’t come into it naïve,” he said. “At a very young age in my career, some time in my early 20s, I had a role where after 12 months I was thinking how easy it was after believing the first two weeks I’d never get the hang of it. I’ve been able to recall that when I start new roles now, so that initially, it does seem incredibly vast and complicated. But the further you get into it, the more natural it becomes.

“I’m nowhere near the point yet where I’m comfortable, but I’m certainly more comfortable than where I was four weeks ago when I started.”

“I’m nowhere near the point yet where I’m comfortable (as Racing Queensland CEO), but I’m certainly more comfortable than where I was four weeks ago when I started.” - Jason Scott

The bureaucracy of the position probably doesn’t suit him, and he’ll be the first to admit it. But Scott seems to think he doesn’t need to be bureaucratic to execute his role brilliantly.

“People who know my temperament know that I like to make decisions and I like to move quickly, and when we’ve decided as a leadership group to go somewhere, I like to implement it and move on,” he said. “That’s a challenge for me, to temper my natural instincts, and anyone that has ever worked with me will tell you that I’m the least bureaucratic person in every room I’m in. But I’m learning.”

Roots manoeuvre

Scott is married with two children. He and his family has lived in Brisbane since 2004, just a hop from headquarters in downtown Deagon.

However, his formative years were spent in Sydney, where he grew up and went to Epping Boys High, “Basically a very middle-class area of Sydney at the time, although it’s changed a bit now.”

His parents enjoyed a day at the races as much as anyone, which is where his interest in horse racing emerged.

“My father was always a punter and owned a few horses,” Scott said. “I remember going to the races from about six years old, out there as a family at Randwick, so I had an interest all the way through in betting, primarily. Part of that was through my dad, but it was always something I was particularly interested in.”

An aptitude with numbers was very evident in this young kid, something that has stuck with him throughout his adult life.

“I’m much more numerically literate than writing-literate,” he said. “Numbers come easily to me, which is part of analysing races, understanding odds and understanding wagering in business.

“I ended up in the finance markets after school, basically investing people’s superannuation. I did that for about eight years before deciding that I wanted to work in the wagering industry.”

Scott’s first entry into the wagering field was with Humbleton, the largest betting syndicate in the world of racing. Much has been written of Humbleton over the years, which was founded by Hobart-born enigma Zeljko Ranogajec. For Scott, the transition from finance into wagering was an experience in the polar-opposites that career moves can bring.

“It was completely different to what I was used to, and it required a completely different skill set,” he said. “But I found the betting syndicates, and their ways of going about things, much more fascinating that finance.”

Scott had found his groove, which led him to his later senior roles with Ladbrokes Australia and BetMGM. They’ve been high-rolling jobs, particularly the latter, which took him around 28 American states during his three-year term. He’s worked with betting markets in Europe, America, Asia and South Africa, and it was a career he has loved.

“I went to America in late 2019,” Scott said. “I was supposed to be there for three months before COVID marched in, and I worked through the next three-and-a-half years there, predominantly in Las Vegas and New Jersey.

“America is a great place. They do some things so well, and others so poorly. It’s the most complex society in terms of the haves versus have nots, rich versus poor, opportunity versus lack of opportunity. I had a good line on America by the time I was ready to finish up, which was prior to this role coming up with Racing Queensland.”

Keeping everyone happy

It comes with the territory that Scott will have to answer the hard questions as CEO of one of Australia’s principal racing authorities (PRAs). He doesn’t seem to shirk many things though.

“The tricky bit of this job is the complex nature of the role,” he said. “Having three codes that we cross, and having that whole group of different participants with different agendas, goals and needs, that’s the challenge.

“I don’t think it’s unfair to say that racing people have more conflicts of interest than in any other industry. If you’re talking to someone as an owner, that person can also be a breeder or a punter, and they’ll have opinions on all three. What we need to do at Racing Queensland is to take those stakeholder opinions into account and come to the conclusion of what is best for the majority.”

“I don’t think it’s unfair to say that racing people have more conflicts of interest than in any other industry... What we need to do at Racing Queensland is to take those stakeholder opinions into account and come to the conclusion of what is best for the majority.” - Jason Scott

Queensland, like Tasmania and Western Australia, manages all three of its racing codes under the one roof. It’s a complex web, but Scott doesn’t see it that way.

“Basically, Racing Queensland collects money from either of two places,” he said. “Wagering revenue or government grants, with point of consumption tax really part of wagering revenue. We then have to distribute that the best way possible.

“Sixty per cent of our money goes to prizemoney and a bit over 20 per cent goes to the clubs to put on the show, so all we have to do is distribute that money, working out where it’s best-placed that maximises the ability of all participants to earn a wage, keep buying horses and continue racing in Queensland.”

Scott admitted that it can be hugely difficult achieving this over-simplified angle on things. He said handing money to one code, one track or one club can be negative to someone else who sees that they’re not getting that money.

“It’s very complicated,” he said. “And particularly when we have certain pieces of infrastructure that we’re involved in, be it new lights or surfaces, because you can’t keep all people happy at all times, and I came in knowing that. I came in knowing that if I gave money to greyhound clubs, the trots and harness guys will think I’ve given them too much. And if I give money to the BRC, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast will think I’ve given them too much. If I give money to Cairns, Townsville will want to know where theirs is.

“That’s just the game and I knew it when I walked in, but that’s for me and my leadership team to handle to the best of our ability.”

“...you can’t keep all people happy at all times, and I came in knowing that... That’s just the game and I knew it when I walked in, but that’s for me and my leadership team to handle to the best of our ability.” - Jason Scott

Scott said there are 124 race clubs and 120 racetracks in Queensland. It’s a vast territory.

“No other state has that many tracks and, with the exception of Western Australia, no other state has the land size,” he said. “We believe at Racing Queensland that having that many tracks, and the majority are for thoroughbreds, is where the next Peter Moody is coming from, or the next champion jockeys.

“We’re committed to these 124 clubs and we’ve probably lost seven or eight in the last five years through natural causes, where they just weren’t sustainable. And it’s hard these days.

“Volunteerism is almost a thing of the past, both in the city and in the regions, and a lot of these tracks rely on volunteers when it comes to the committees and facilities. That’s the challenge in 2023 that possibly wasn’t there in 2003.”

On state unity

The elephant in the room is the current discontent between the Australian PRAs, which is spewing out headlines every other week. It will be in Scott’s face throughout his tenure as CEO, and he didn’t shy from it when we raised its ugly head.

“I know many people in Racing Victoria and I know Andrew Jenkins, who is in exactly the same role as me in Tasmania in that’s he taken over all three codes,” Scott said. “As head of Ladbrokes I was dealing with Racing NSW, so I know Peter (V’Landys) and I know Graeme Hinton (Racing NSW COO).

“So I’m probably in a different position where I’ve come into this with a different lens on things. It’s not lost on me how important it is to have a very strong Racing Australia, and that’s imperative. The states need to get together.”

“It’s not lost on me how important it is to have a very strong Racing Australia, and that’s imperative. The states need to get together.” - Jason Scott

At the moment, the court case between Racing NSW and the remaining PRAs is a headline issue, and it’s a serious one. Scott acknowledged it was but with a caveat.

“Although the racing organisations are currently involved in this legal case, Jason Scott personally isn’t and I don’t need to get involved,” he said. “I hope I can be part of the solution once we get through this and fix it up because we need all six states and two territories pushing in the same direction.”

Racing Queensland CEO

‘She’ll be in the big races’ - McDonald lauds Godolphin juvenile

On the back of two excellent trials at Hawkesbury, the James Cummings-trained 2-year-old Commemorative (I Am Invincible) was backed as if unbeatable for her debut at Canterbury on Wednesday, sent off at $1.60.

And for those that took the short odds, they were never made to sweat, with the giant filly afforded a beautiful run behind the speed, before sprinting away from her rivals over the 1100 metres.

Star jockey James McDonald was the lucky man with the best seat in the house and he was suitably impressed.

“She’s very nice, she gave me an excellent feel and I reckon she only worked it out the last 20 metres,” he told Sky Racing.

“She oozes a lot of quality, she’s a lovely filly.”

“She (Commemorative) oozes a lot of quality, she’s a lovely filly.” - James McDonald

Asked if she is spring class, McDonald was emphatic, saying: “No doubt, she’ll be in the big races.”

Commemorative is hombred for Godolphin and boasts a beautiful pedigree. A daughter of Australia’s leading sire, she is the third foal from the blueblood Memorial, and she herself won her first two starts and was second in the Listed Lonhro Plate, all at two. Memorial also finished second in the G2 Silver Shadow S.

Memorial is by Street Cry (Ire) from the former brilliant filly/mare Mnemosyne (Encosta De Lago) - a victress of the 2005 G1 Thousand Guineas and 2006 G1 Queen of the Tuf S. Mnemosyne was also a very good juvenile, bolting in on debut at Rosehill in 2004, before placing in Group class on three occasions. She then placed fourth in the 2005 G1 Golden S., which was won by Stratum.

Memorial is a sister to Erato - the dam of the G1 Blue Diamond S. heroine Lyre (Lonhro) and a half-sister to the stakes winners Impending, Forget (Exceed And Excel) and Epidemic (Lonhro). Impending - a son of Lonhro - was a top-class sprinter, scoring at the elite level on two occasions. He now stands at Darley’s Victorian base (Northwood Park) and is the sire of the Group 2 winner Impendabelle. Impending will stand at a fee of $8800 (inc GST) in 2023.

Erato made $1.75 million at the 2019 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale when offered by Yarraman Park Stud. She was bought by Yulong Investments.

Memorial has a yearling filly by Blue Point (Ire) named Photograph, a weanling colt by Lonhro, and missed to Pinatubo (Ire) last spring.

Further highlighting the quality of this family, Commemorative’s third dam is the Listed scorer My Juliet (Canny Lad), and as well as throwing Mnemosyne, she also produced the stakes performer Tantat Secret (Secret Savings {USA}).

Commemorative’s official winning margin was 4.86l and she stopped the clock at 1:05.33, dashing home her last 600 metres in 35.33s on the Soft 5 track.

Wezza (Rubick) finished second, while Power Ballard (Exceed And Excel) was third.

Godolphin Australia stable representative, Darren Beadman, was another to speak in glowing terms of Commemorative.

“She couldn’t have been any more impressive,” he told Sky Racing.

“Being able to find the fence gave her that little bit of a guide around a tight, little track like Canterbury for a big filly.

“She (Commemorative) really got into her gears nicely and extended in fine fashion.”

“She really got into her gears nicely and extended in fine fashion.” - Darren Beadman

On her future, Beadman echoed McDonald’s thoughts, believing Commemorative possesses the necessary attributes to be competitive in black-type races.

“She’s been well-exposed and she’s a big filly,” he said.

“Her mum, Memorial, she was out of Mnemosyne, so she’s a very well-bred filly. Memorial won her first two races as a 2-year-old, so she’s obviously precocious enough to be able to win at two.

“I’m sure the team and James will treat her with kid gloves. We’ve given her plenty of time to find herself and grow into herself, so I guess springtime is going to look promising.”

Juddmonte mare goes to Yulong via $560k Inglis Digital spend

7 min read

Written by Jessica Owers

Inglis Digital on Wednesday afternoon was the host of some spirited bidding on a well-bred Juddmonte mare. Of Good Cheer (GB), an imported daughter of Dark Angel (Ire), sold for $560,000, going the way of Yulong dressed up as Chatsworth Farm.

She was one of 432 in the catalogue for the June (Early) Online Sale, and by virtual hammer-down she had attracted 41 bids, a flurry landing in the final half-hour. Consigned by Olly Tait’s Twin Hills Stud on behalf of Juddmonte, she was the session’s best seller by a long way.

Four-year-old Of Good Cheer was offered in foal to Frankel (GB) on a September cover, making her a lucrative package deal. By Dark Angel, she is from the Dubawi (Ire) mare Radiator (GB), and this is one of Juddmonte’s striking families.

It features the G1 Metropolitan H. winner Mirage Dancer (GB), also by Frankel and a half-brother to Radiator, while the third dam on the page is Hasili (Ire), who was a gifted stakes-producer responsible for five individual Group 1 winners.

Of Good Cheer was imported into Australia in December last year. She was a winner over 1300 metres in France and her progeny slate is clean. Her Frankel foal will be her first.

She has lived the last few months since her importation at Twin Hills Stud, with Tait enjoying a fruitful relationship with Juddmonte’s Australian interests.

“We’ve been lucky enough to be able to represent Juddmonte in the sale of a number of their mares over the last couple of years,” he said, speaking to TDN AusNZ. “Of Good Cheer is one of those, and she’s going to Yulong, which is a very good result.”

“We’ve been lucky enough to be able to represent Juddmonte in the sale of a number of their mares over the last couple of years. Of Good Cheer is one of those, and she’s going to Yulong, which is a very good result.” - Olly Tait

Yulong is fresh off a manic spend at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale a fortnight ago, but there seems no stopping its appetite for anything well-bred. In the end, the Victorian farm might have snagged a good deal on Wednesday because last month, Of Good Cheer was passed in at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale with a reserve of $600,000.

“Mr Zhang is not only a great supporter of Frankel,” Tait said. “He’s a great supporter of the Australian industry, so we wish him all the best with this mare.”

Tait said the decision to sell these sorts of mares was no different for Juddmonte as any other commercial operator.

“There are always females that are put to the market,” he said. “This mare, in particular, has a wonderful family and there are a number of mares that Juddmonte would have from it. So they felt it was a good opportunity to put her in foal to Frankel.

“But most importantly, what they are aiming to do is get some nice Frankels bred to Southern Hemisphere time. That will give Frankel additional opportunities in Australia to show what a truly remarkable stallion he is.”

Seeking a Fortune

Of Good Cheer topped Wednesday’s sale by a long way, with the next best-selling being Lot 418, the 5-year-old mare Fortune Seeker (Written Tycoon).

Offered by Newgate Farm, she was also purchased by Yulong, who went to $300,000 to get her. She had previously been withdrawn from the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale last month.

Fortune Seeker was offered with an October cover to Stay Inside, one of Newgate’s hottest sire propositions in a long time. In the midst of her sale this week, her Capitalist half-sister, Comrade Rosa, accepted for the G2 Dane Ripper S. this weekend.

Fortune Seeker had a short career on the track when trained by Tulloch Lodge. She won her first three starts and raced only seven times, and she was offered as a breeding prospect with her first foal in utero.

She is from the very smart mare No Looking Back (Redoute’s Choice), who was second to Samaready (More Than Ready {USA}) in the G1 Blue Diamond S. and relegated to second behind Driefontein (Fastnet Rock) in the R. Listed Magic Millions 2YO Classic in 2012.

In the aftermath of Wednesday's sale, Newgate’s Jim Carey said he was pleased with the result for Fortune Seeker.

“The mare is owned by Nick Vass, a great supporter of the farm and it’s a fantastic result overall,” he said. “Mares in foal to Stay Inside have sold extremely well this year and we wish Mr Zhang and the Yulong team all the best with her. Hopefully there’s a big update for them as early as Saturday in the Dane Ripper.”

Seven in the six figures

Of Good Cheer and Fortune Seeker were two of the seven horses to fetch six-figure amounts at the Inglis Digital June (Early) Online Sale on Wednesday.

The Testa Rossa mare Testa Sarah was sold to Kitchwin Hills for $190,000, consigned by Vinery Stud in foal on a November cover to Exceedance. This mare is already the dam of the smart, stakes-winning juvenile Saltaire (Star Turn).

“We know how good Saltaire is and we’re actually really excited to be purchasing her mother,” said Mick Malone, the Kitchwin Hills studmaster. “We’re also big believers in Exceedance as a stallion, so it’s all a match made in heaven. We’ll foal the mare down and then send her back to Star Turn to get a fully to Saltaire, and we hope by then she’s (Saltaire) won a few Group 1s for us.”

“We know how good Saltaire is and we’re actually really excited to be purchasing her mother (Testa Sarah). We’re also big believers in Exceedance as a stallion, so it’s all a match made in heaven.” - Mick Malone

At Vinery Stud, Adam White said it was an equally good result for the farm's emerging sire, Exceedance.

“His progeny sold up to $380,000 at Inglis Easter this year. He’s started off really well in the ring and we can’t wait to see his 2-year-olds hit the track later this year.”

The Maurice (Jpn) filly Killiako was offered by Phillip Stokes Racing in the catalogue, and she was bought by Murray Thoroughbreds for $160,000. Bay Thirteen, a 3-year-old daughter of Deep Field, was offered by Matt Laurie Racing (as agent), and she was bought by Trilogy Racing for $130,000.

Whipping in the seven was 10-year-old mare Scrum (Flying Spur) in foal to Russian Revolution, bought by Spartus Bloodstock who struck last October when paying $100,000 for the James Harron colt London (Capitalist).

Lastly, buyer Graham Stewart paid $100,000 for the 3-year-old filly Estilete (Written Tycoon), who was offered by Annabel Neasham Racing.

Wednesday’s sale grossed a total spend of $4,107,750, with a clearance rate of 71.76 per cent. The average was $13,468.

Entries are now open for the Inglis Digital June (Late) Online Sale, which will run from June 23 to 28. Entries will remain open until midnight on June 21, with the catalogue already confirmed for the Group winners Daisies (Sebring) and Literary Magnate (Written Tycoon).

Rose ‘N’ Power sells to Byerley Park founder

The Kiwi mare Rose ‘N’ Power (NZ), a 5-year-old stakes-winning daughter of Power (GB), has been sold on Gavelhouse Plus. She went to Byerley Park founder Daniel Nakhle for NZ$70,000, Nakhle having purchased her half-sister Incanto Rose (NZ) (Per Incanto {USA}) on Inglis Digital last month.

Rose ‘N’ Power was trained in New Zealand by Fred and Lindsay Cornege to a Listed win in the Nevin S. She won six races from 24 career starts and was fifth behind Babylon Berlin (All Too Hard) in the G3 King’s Plate in March.

“She looks a nice-sized and well-muscled mare, so we’re looking forward to having her arrive here to join our broodmare band,” Nakhle said. “There are probably a few stallions in New Zealand at the moment that might suit her, but noting that her dam is in foal to Proisir, he’s obviously one that’s going to be high on our list.”

Rose ‘N’ Power was consigned to Gavelhouse by her breeder and co-owner, Elizabeth Pollard, who said she was pleased with the sale result.

“I’m certainly going to miss her, but she gave us so much fun and went well-beyond what we could have imagined or dreamt of,” Pollard said. “I’m delighted she’ll stay in New Zealand and that she was bought by Daniel Nakhle, who I know is going to give her every opportunity.”

Fast Track Class of 2022

The 2022 graduates of Fast Track, the national traineeship program of Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association (TBA), were celebrated on Tuesday night with an award ceremony in Scone. Eleven students from across the country, the fifth intake in the program’s history, received their Certificate III in Horse Breeding after 12 months of studies.

The program saw each student not only progress through the classroom, but also on farm placements across New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. More than 80 people attended the graduation ceremony, including Madison Tims, TBA’s education and training manager.

“We are very proud of the trainees who have all worked really hard to complete their studies and successfully carry out their work commitments on-farm,” she said. She added that Fast Track has created paths for anyone, irrespective of their equine experience, to get educated and secure a job on a thoroughbred farm.

The program’s latest trainees, who number 18, were also in attendance at the ceremony, as was TBA Chief Executive, Tom Reilly.

“Our current intake is our biggest ever and it is exciting that Fast Track continues to grow,” he said. “As well as having more students, we are really pleased that this year, for the first time, we have farms from Tasmania and Western Australia taking part.”

Fast Track has become one of the most successful training programs in the Australian industry. Last month, TBA also announced its newest course, Stud Start, which will target a more mature audience seeking to change careers and move into the industry with formal training.

Australian Bloodstock to aim import at Cox Plate

Last year’s G1 Irish 2000 Guineas runner-up New Energy (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) has been purchased by Australian Bloodstock and will be geared towards this year’s G1 Cox Plate. The 4-year-old will be trained by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace.

“On exposed form, he is probably the highest-rated horse we have ever got our hands on,” Australian Bloodstock’s, Jamie Lovett, told Racing.com. “I think he has a similar if not better profile than Gold Trip. He is Group 1-placed in Ireland as a 3-year-old and we know how hard it is over there, so he is obviously a high-calibre horse.

“If he can hold the same form if not improve with maturity, there is a fair bit to like about him.”

Lovett said the entire, who was trained by Sheila Lavery, will be gelded and could potentially race at the Hong Kong International meeting in December.

Cifrado on-song for the JJ Atkins

Two-year-old Cifrado (Encryption) is on-song ahead of his Group 1 debut in the JJ Atkins this Saturday. The colt, trained at Toowoomba by veteran Rex Lipp, has won his last two races, including the G1 Champagne Classic and G2 BRC Sires’ Produce S.

Lipp told RQ News that he was glad they bypassed the Magic Millions summer carnival, in the end, because the few months’ maturity has stood the colt well.

“It gave him more time to mature for the winter carnival,” the trainer said. “He always showed me a lot of ability, raw ability. It was just about waiting for the penny to drop and it is still not 100 per cent there, but it is on the way to being there.”

Zoustar 2-year-old breaks the ice

Following an encouraging debut at Cranbourne last month, the Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained Right To Party ventured north for her second start, and on Wednesday, the Zoustar filly knocked off her maiden at Doomben in fine style. Sent out the $3.10 favourite, Right To Party won by 2.09l under Ryan Maloney.

Bred by GSA Bloodstock, the filly is raced by Pinecliff Racing’s Jonathan Munz and partner. Right To Party is from the unraced Dehere (USA) mare De Groove, making the filly a half-sister to the stakes winner Big Party (Exceed And Excel) and the stakes performer General Groove (General Nediym).

This family also includes the stakes winners Purple Groove (Rhythm {USA}), Zapurple (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ}), Taikun (Anabaa {USA}) and Super Groove (Dehere {USA}).

New juvenile winner for Better Than Ready

The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Epic Proportions handed Better Than Ready his 16th individual 2-year-old winner of the season when he saluted at Canterbury on Wednesday. Epic Proportions took out Race 3, a maiden for 2- and 3-year-olds, over 1100 metres. The colt was handled by apprentice Dylan Gibbons

Epic Proportions was bred by Yarramalong Park and is the fifth foal from the winless Commands mare Commanding Epic. The colt made $70,000 at last year’s Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, with Ciaron Maher Bloodstock buying.

His dam is a half-sister to the stakes performer She’s Miss Devine (Show A Heart), while stakes winners on the colt’s page include Portsmouth (Royal Academy {USA}) and Sharp (Danzero).

Winx Guineas tilt for City Of Lights

Sam Freedman has revealed blueblood filly City Of Lights (Deep Impact {Jpn}) is being aimed towards the G3 Winx Guineas , a race named in honour of her legendary half-sister Winx (Street Cry {Ire}). The race is worth $300,000 and will be run at the Sunshine Coast on July 1.

Three-year-old filly City Of Lights made a winning debut at Geelong on Sunday.

“At this stage she will head up to Queensland and we will make a decision once she’s up there how she has done," Sam Freedman, who trains the filly in partnership with his father Anthony, told Racing.com. “It would be nice for her to win her sister’s race. Otherwise, she can come back for the spring.”

Raceday double for Xtravagant

Newhaven Park resident Xtravagant (NZ) posted a raceday double on Wednesday with the victories of Seydoux at Devonport Synthetic and Polly Plum at Matamata. The latter, for Te Akau Racing, was a $270,000 yearling, bought by David Ellis at the 2020 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale when sold by Newhaven Park.

Polly Plum has won three of her 14 starts, including her last two on the trot, while 4-year-old Seydoux won in good style for trainer Adam Trinder in Tasmania. The latter has won her last three races back to back since relocating to Trinder from Jim Conlan. She was an Inglis Digital purchase for her owners in February, costing $27,500 when sold by Nemeris Lodge Stud.

Four-timer for McDonald

James McDonald, Australia’s leading jockey by metro wins, added another four to his seasonal tally on Wednesday at Canterbury Park.

The Kiwi was victorious aboard Commemorative (I Am Invincible) in Race 1, Nostalgia (Zoustar) in Race 2, Flashing Steel (Not A Single Doubt) in Race 4 and Manbehindthemoney (GB) (Bobby’s Kitten {USA}) in Race 7. McDonald has 141 wins for the season.

Patrick Cunningham appointed bloodstock representative

New Zealand Bloodstock (NZB) on Wednesday announced the appointment of Patrick Cunningham as a bloodstock sales representative, commencing in early August. Cunningham is currently at Gavelhouse and will work closely at NZB with Kane Jones, the company's bloodstock sales manager.

“Patrick has been an incredible asset to Haylie (Martin) and the Gavelhouse arm of the business during the last two years,” said Andrew Seabrook, NZB’s managing director. “With his background in the industry, his passion and knowledge of bloodstock, this position will be the perfect role for him to develop and utilise those skills in the next stage of his career.”

Cunningham, who has been a regular bidspotter at NZB for six years, said he was excited for the challenge of the new role and grateful for the opportunity to work with the NZB bloodstock team.

Chynna Marston on Excluded List

Sky Racing personality Chynna Marston has been placed on the Racing NSW Excluded List due to animal welfare concerns.

Marston, who established the rehoming initiative Recycled Racehorses, is now not permitted to be transferred, sold or gifted any retired thoroughbred that has been domiciled in New South Wales for the majority of its life, or have any such horse in her custody, care or control.

Half to Lucky Sweynesse to debut on Thursday

A half-brother to the Hong Kong Group 1 winner Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse) will make his debut on Thursday at New Plymouth. Lazio (NZ) (Per Incanto {USA}) is trained by Allan Sharrock and was a trial winner over 850 metres last preparation, and a recent jump-out winner this time in. He has accepted for a 1200-metre maiden on the card.

“He is going to be competitive whatever he runs in,” the trainer said. “He is a lovely, big horse.”

Also in the field will be Sharrock’s full sister to the Derby winner and triple Group 1 hero Gingernuts (NZ) (Iffraaj {GB}). Named So Spicee (NZ), the filly was bought privately from Australia. The pair will line up in the Revital Fertiliser Mdn.

Royal Ascot bow-out for Richard Gibson

Hong Kong trainer and ex-pat Englishman Richard Gibson will not be reapplying for his trainer’s ticket in Hong Kong at the end of the current season, instead bowing out with a final training appearance at Royal Ascot. Gibson is targeting the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee S. during the Royal meeting with his 6-year-old Australian-bred sprinter Wellington (All Too Hard).

“It has always been the plan to take him there,” Gibson said, reported by Racing.com. “It fits in great with the Hong Kong season. Ryan (Moore) has been booked for the ride, which is big news for team morale as he’s only choosing horses he thinks can be competitive in the Group 1 races.”

Wellington will arrive in England six days ahead of his race and will board with Brian Meehan at Manton. Gibson said he is unsure what he will do after his Hong Kong tenure is over and after he spends some time travelling.

Plans for Breeders' Cup 40th anniversary

The Breeders’ Cup has unveiled a multi-month celebration of the 40th running of the championship event, which will occur this year at Santa Anita on November 3 and 4. The ‘It Runs Deep’ campaign will highlight 39 years of international competition and the champions that have emerged from the Breeders’ Cup, with innovative fan engagement across multiple platforms and on-site at Santa Anita.

The celebrations kicked off on June 6 with a fan poll on the Breeders’ Cup website, asking for people to rank their top three of 40 pre-selected Breeders’ Cup moments. Starting on July 5, videos will be released on the website and social media each Wednesday, featuring racing’s most prominent participants as they relive their favourite Breeders’ Cup moments.

Giveaways, competitions and charitable elements are all part of the months-long build-up to the 40th Breeders’ Cup this year. Head to the event’s website for more information.

Godolphin draft popular at Tattersalls Ascot June Sale

Godolphin’s 14-horse draft proved popular at Tuesday’s Tattersalls Ascot June Sale in the UK, occupying the top four spots at the end of the trading. Lot 48 was the best-selling, the four-time winner Silent Film (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), who sold for £120,000 (AU$225,000) to Ian Williams Racing. Lot 57, the Golden Horn ((GB) gelding Through The Ages (GB), was the only other horse to sell for six figures when he fetched £100,000 (AU$185,000) when selling to Durcan Bloodstock and GL Moore Racing.

The day’s trading accumulated £929,700 (AU$1.73 million) across 105 lots sold for a 91 per cent clearance. The average rose 27 per cent on equivalent figures last year to £8854 (AU$16,500).

Nashwa to skip Royal Ascot for Pretty Polly

The Group 1-winning Frankel (GB) filly Nashwa (GB) is likely to skip Royal Ascot in favour of the G1 Pretty Polly S. in Ireland on July 1. The news was confirmed by Teddy Grimthorpe on Tuesday, racing manager for owner Imad Al Sagar.

“The Prince of Wales’s is an option, but I would say at the moment, talking to Imad to John (Gosden), the preferred option would be the Pretty Polly,” Grimthorpe said. “I hope it might be easier to win. There are going to be other opportunities for her to take on colts, but if I think we can try to get her back on track for the Pretty Polly, I think that would definitely be the preferred option.”

Nashwa was third in the G1 Epsom Oaks last year as a 3-year-old, after which she won the French equivalent and the G1 Nassau S. in succession. She was second in the G1 Prix de l’Opera on Arc weekend, and ended last year when fourth in the G1 Breeders’ Cup Fillies & Mile Turf.

Almond Eye into the Hall of Fame

Dual Japanese Horse of the Year Almond Eye (Jpn), a daughter of Lord Kanaloa (Jpn), was finally elected into the Japanese Horse Racing Hall of Fame on Tuesday. She was the 35th horse to be inducted, garnering 200 votes of the 207 available. Fellow Japanese Triple Crown winner Contrail (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) was one short of induction with 155 votes.

“It is a great honour to have Almond Eye selected for the award,” said the mare’s trainer, Sakae Kunieda. “From her debut in 2017 until her retirement at the Japan Cup in 2020, she won the Triple Crown for fillies and nine Group 1 races, and she was also the representative Horse of the Year twice. I have nothing by gratitude for the owners who entrusted me with such a famous horse.”

Since her retirement, Almond Eye has had colts by Epiphaneia (Jpn) and Maurice (Jpn), born in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

Mile test for The Racketeer

Shaune Ritchie and co-trainer Colm Murray will be on a fact-finding mission with 3-year-old The Racketeer (NZ) (Proisir) when he lines up in the G3 Gunsynd Classic at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

It will be the gelding’s first try at 1600 metres.

“He is obviously stepping up in class this Saturday and Yellow Brick looks a good thing in the race,” Ritchie said.

“We really want to find out if he is going to run a mile out this weekend so that we can start doing some planning for when he returns home for the New Zealand summer.

“If he runs super, we will run him in the Winx Guineas (G3, 1600 metres); if he runs nice without winning and finds the mile a bit beyond him, there is a nice race in Sydney on the way home; and if he is disappointing, we will just bring him home and freshen him for sprints at home.”

Kiwi duo seek consolation prize

Matamata-based co-trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott are hoping to pick up a Listed win in the Saturday’s The Wayne Wilson at Eagle Farm.

The stable ran Dragon Leap (Pierro) and Dark Destroyer (NZ) (Proisir) in the G3 BRC Sprint at Doomben last month - a ballot exempt race for Saturday’s G1 Stradbroke H. Dragon Leap was narrowly beaten, finishing second, while his stablemate was unplaced.

“We went over there and were hoping Dragon Leap would fire. We went into the first race (G2 Victory S.) and we had him running super and he ran last. He pulled up and had a bit of a blow and just found the race a bit sharp,” Scott said.

“He took the necessary improvement from that race and if we had drawn a gate we would have had some sort of confidence last time but we drew 15 and he did a heck of a job to only be run down in the shadows of the post after a wide run.

“He probably just peaked a bit then too and will improve again with that run.

“He galloped brilliantly (on Tuesday) at Eagle Farm on the outside of the course proper and we think he is going really well. He has won over the distance before so he does tick a few boxes.”

Group 1 winner Dark Destroyer hadn’t raced since September when he beat just one runner home in the BRC Sprint, but Scott was pleased with his efforts.

“He has probably benefited from the three weeks between runs and a bit more warmth and sunshine on his back. He arrived a bit later than a few of the others,” said Scott.

“We think he has gone the right way and his work on Tuesday indicated he has improved.”

Looking Ahead - June 8

3 min read

Looking Ahead puts the spotlight on runners of interest across Australia and New Zealand. Whether they are a particularly well-bred or high-priced runner having their first or second start, a promising galloper returning to the track or a horse which has trialled particularly well, we’ll aim to give you something to follow.

Thursday at Gosford, we turn our attention to a granddaughter of the exceptional producer Tristalove (NZ) (Sir Tristram {Ire}). At Pinjarra Park, we look at a filly who’s a half-sister to a Queensland Guineas winner.

Gosford, Race 1, 12pm AEST, Tooheys Country Special Shelly Beach GB Classic Provincial Mdn, $45,000, 1600m

Lovely Thoughts (NZ), 3-year-old filly (So You Think {NZ} x Lovetrista {Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}})

This filly comes with a beautiful pedigree. Bred by Cambridge Stud, she is from the Group 2-winning mare Lovetrista, herself a daughter of the exceptional Tristalove, who was responsible for five stakes winners in her producing career, including the stallions Viking Ruler and Kempinsky, and the Listed-winning Diamond Like (Danehill {USA}), the dam of two further Group winners.

Lovely Thoughts (NZ) was sent to Australia as a yearling, consigned by Bhima Thoroughbreds to the 2021 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale where she sold to Dynamic Syndications and Dean Watt Bloodstock for $70,000.

The filly has been only average to date in trials, finishing unplaced throughout her preparations. However, she has a standout pedigree heading in this debut for Newcastle trainer Jason Deamer, and she will have barrier six with Blake Spriggs.

Pinjarra Park, Race 3, 1.55pm local (4.55pm AEST), Electrical Consultancy WA Mdn, $22,500, 1300m

Yallingup Girl, 3-year-old filly (Playing God x Salsify {Grand Lodge {USA}})

This unraced filly is a half-sister to the G2 Queensland Guineas winner Salsonic (Hinchinbrook), who was also three times Group-placed during a smart career. She is also a half-sister to the stakes-placed Kirinata (Stratum). This is the family of the good producer Winter’s Dance (Bogan Road), who was responsible for such horses as the Group 3 winner Dancing Dynamite (Yeats {Ire}) and Razamataz (Prego {Ire}).

Yallingup Girl was consigned by Gervase Park Stud to the 2021 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale. She was bought for $60,000 by Peter Diamond and Parnham Racing Stables.

She is trained by Neville Parnham at Ascot, and her latest preparation resulted in a smart trial win at Belmont on May 22. In this debut, she will have jockey Chris Parnham from barrier eight.

Looking Back

Our Looking Ahead selections on Wednesday were luckless. At Canterbury Park, Feronia (Pariah) was unplaced, while Pink Shalala (Shalaa {Ire}) was also unplaced. At Doomben, Transatlantic (Snitzel) was third.
