Race-Day Recap

•

Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) easily defeated a high-class field in the G1 Makybe Diva S.

•

Amelia’s Jewel (Siyouni {Fr}) made a successful debut in Melbourne, winning the G2 Let’s Elope S. at Flemington on Saturday.

•

Nash Rawiller had a super Saturday, claiming the inaugural running of the 7 Stakes on Think It Over (So You Think {NZ}). Forty minutes later, Rawiller won the G2 The Shorts on the Joe Pride-trained Private Eye (Al Maher).

Mr Brightside peerless in Makybe

The G1 Makybe Diva S. was supposed to be a clash between the 6-year-old Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) and the 7-year-old Alligator Blood (All Too Hard), but it looked little more than an exhibition gallop for the Ben, Will and JD Hayes-trained son of Bullbars.

Ridden by his regular partner Craig Williams, Mr Brightside put a 1.5l margin between Alligator Blood, while Osipenko (NZ) (Pierro) ran third.

The gelding has returned this preparation better than ever and is on a five-race winning streak, claiming The All-Star Mile and G1 Doncaster H. in the autumn. The popular galloper returned in the G2 PB Lawrence S. and backed that performance up with success on the G1 Memsie S.

“I feel on top of the world. I’ve been really fortunate to be on this horse's journey,” Williams told Racing.com.

“The only reason this horse is where he is, and I’m getting interviewed now, is because of this horse and the young training partnership. They’re amazing horsemen and great people.

“I could hear The Killer’s tune ‘Mr Brightside’ in my head the last 200 metres because he was pretty dominant.

“There’s still growth and development in him, which is really scary for his opposition.”

Ben Hayes added, “He was a superstar today (Saturday). Craig Williams just let the race unfold; it was a beautiful ride.

“Big thank you and a 10 out of 10 for Craig. He rode that beautifully.”

Melbourne fans get first look of Amelia's Jewel

Star Western Australian mare Amelia’s Jewel (Siyouni {Fr}) made a successful debut in Melbourne, winning G2 Let’s Elope S. at Flemington on Saturday.

Damian Lane rode the daughter of Siyouni (Fr) to a 1l success from Life Lessons (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}), while El Patroness (Shamus Award) finished third.

Although it wasn’t the margin some imagined it to be, Amelia Jewel’s trainer, Simon Miller, indicated there is a lot of improvement to come from the mare.

“She isn’t screwed down in terms of fitness. The Let’s Elope was a nice starting point, and when Damian Lane hadn’t moved on straightening, I thought this is an easy watch.”

“She (Amelia's Jewel) isn’t screwed down in terms of fitness. The Let’s Elope was a nice starting point, and when Damian Lane hadn’t moved on straightening, I thought this is an easy watch.” - Simon Miller

Miller indicated Amelia’s Jewel would head towards the G2 Stock S. on September 29, with a decision to be made whether she starts in the G1 Cox Plate or the Golden Eagle.

Lane added, “She was still in second gear. Amelia’s Jewel is a really casual customer, and she’s got a lot more to give.

“I dare say she’s got a lot more in the tank.”

Rawiller gets Think It Over and Private Eye over the line

The Kerry Parker-trained Think It Over (So You Think {NZ}) was having his third run of the preparation in the 7 Stakes after returning from a tendon injury. The 8-year-old was given a pearler of a ride by Nash Rawiller to run down a gallant Zaaki (GB) (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}) while Fangirl (Sebring) flew into third.

“I’m very proud. That was a gallant performance. I just relied on the horse’s ability and his will to win,” Rawiller told Racing NSW.

“With Eduardo retiring, I’m pretty emotional about that. To know what Think It Over has been through, to come here today on a fast track and doing that, they’re just unbelievable, those good ones.”

Rawiller was not finished; 40 minutes later, the hoop would win the G2 The Shorts aboard Private Eye (Al Maher).

The Joe Pride sprinter was led out by his now-retired stablemate Eduardo (Host {Chi}).

Private Eye beat a gallant Overpass (Vancouver), while Buenos Noches (Supido) flew home into third.

The gun sprinter In Secret (I Am Invincible) finished into fourth, narrowly beating Remarque (Snitzel) and Hawaii Five Oh (I Am Invincible).

Pride told Sky Racing, “I’m pretty confident Private Eye will join Think About It in The Everest.

“The two horses deserve to be there. That was exciting. I figured he would return to what he was doing last spring, but you can never count on it.

“The two horses (Private Eye and Think About It) deserve to be there (in The Everest). That was exciting. I figured he (Private Eye) would return to what he was doing last spring, but you can never count on it.” - Joe Pride

“I’m thinking we could go to the Premiere, or he could go straight to The Everest.”

Tiz Invincible connections confident ahead of the Flight

The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Tiz Invincible (I Am Invincible) remained unbeaten as a 3-year-old when she took out the G2 Tea Rose S. on Saturday at Randwick.

Ridden by Zac Lloyd and trying the 1400 metres for the first time, it proved little obstacle for the filly who ran out a dominant 1.35l winner from the unlucky Kimochi (Brave Smash {Jpn}), while Tropical Squall (Prized Icon) held her ground in third.

Lloyd said post-race, “It’s been a very character-building Saturday, but I’m happy to have these opportunities with these very good horses. She was ultra-impressive today (Saturday), she’s done that easily.

“That’s the scary bit; she’s a bit fractious in the gates, she begins cleanly, you have to ask her, and she’s usually a fraction on the bridle, but today, she was much better.

“It was a bit messy early, a bit of scrimmaging, but she handled herself very well, and that accounted for that electric turn of foot that got me out of trouble.

“That was the telling factor today for the seven furlongs. She has given me confidence heading into the Flight Stakes.”

“It was a bit messy early, but she (Tiz Invincible) handled herself very well... She has given me confidence heading into the Flight Stakes.” - Zac Lloyd

She is the second foal from the New Approach (Ire) mare Amuletum (GB). She hails from the family of Anamoe.

Tiz Invincible was a $550,000 yearling purchase by Ciaron Maher Racing, Bahen Bloodstock, Astute Bloodstock (FBAA) and Eric Lucas from the draft of Segenhoe Stud at the 2022 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Griff gives Trapeze first stakes winner

Ciaron Maher and David Eustace enjoyed a successful Saturday across Melbourne and Sydney with their 3-year-old runners.

With Tiz Invincible flying the flag in Sydney, the duo sent Griff to Melbourne for the Listed Exford Plate over 1400 metres at Flemington.

The son of Trapeze Artist finished fast under Mark Zahra to defeat Surprise Coming (Impending), while King Of Fighters (Street Boss {USA}) finished third.

Co-trainer David Eustace was on course for the post-race interview, “He has been relatively prepared and nurtured up in Sydney,” he told Racing.com.

“Ciaron (Maher) has always been sweet on Griff’s ability. His first-up run was excellent, and in his second-up run, he had to race at a pretty hot speed.

“We were confident coming into Saturday, we felt he would get a lovely run. Mark Zahra gave him a great ride.

“We will most likely head to the G1 Caulfield Guineas.”

“Ciaron (Maher) has always been sweet on Griff’s ability. We will most likely head to the G1 Caulfield Guineas.” - David Eustace

Griff is the second foal from the Sebring mare Chateau Griffo. She was placed in the G3 Blue Diamond Preview (Fillies).

The colt became the first stakes winner for his Widden Stud-based Trapeze Artist, standing the 2023 breeding season for $55,000 (inc GST).

Griff was an $80,000 purchase by Kavanagh Racing from the draft of Widden Stud at the 2022 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.

Shesallshenanigans strips fitter second-up

Shesallshenanigans (Toronado {Ire}) found her brilliant best in Saturday’s Listed Cap D’Antibes S. down the Flemington straight.

Ridden by Blaike McDougall, the filly burst clear from the pack and held a 0.20l advantage on Stretan Angel (Harry Angel {Ire}), while Skirt The Law (Better Than Ready) finished third.

Trainer Simon Zahra was on a high after Carlton defeated Melbourne overnight in the AFL.

“Carlton last night or this, I don’t know what’s better,” he told Racing.com.

“Blaike (McDougall) had a fair bit of horse underneath him, which was good, and she was really fat going into her first-up run, so this was great.

“We will keep her nice and happy and space her runs. It was fantastic to get black type.”

Shesallshenanigans was a $115,000 yearling purchase by Simon Zahra Racing from the draft of Kulani Park at the 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

Archo Nacho upstages blue bloods

The Listed Poseidon S. was the first of three Listed events for the 3-year-olds at Flemington on Saturday.

The field attracted a competitive field of eleven colts and geldings, with several carrying reputations and blue-blooded pedigrees. However, Archo Nacho (Sioux Nation {USA}), a $10,000 weanling purchase trained by Matt Laurie, prevailed.

The 3-year-old gelding has always shown plenty of ability, winning two of his three starts.

Ridden by Ben Melham and jumping from barrier one, Melham elected to keep Archo Nacho hard and fast against the rail, with the gelding finding plenty to hold the I Am Invincible-sired pair I Am Unstoppable and King’s Gambit.

Laurie told Racing.com, “He has shown a lot from the beginning. I only bought this bloke (Archo Nacho) because I had a half-brother who showed a bit of pace but was a bit mad.

“I passed this guy at the weanling sale and thought, 'Why not!'

“It’s a massive thrill to watch what has unfolded. He’s a family-owned horse, and the kids just love him to bits.”

“It’s a massive thrill to watch what has unfolded. He’s (Archo Nacho) a family-owned horse, and the kids just love him to bits.” - Matt Laurie

Laurie explained the gelding was nearly sold to Hong Kong before the family elected to hold tight.

The gelding is the sixth foal from the Not A Single Doubt mare Jackpot Queen.

Kingsbarn Bloodstock paid just $10,000 for Archo Nacho from the draft of Rosemont Stud at the 2021 Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale.

Archo Nacho is the first Australian stakes winner for Sioux Nation (USA), who only shuttled for one season to the Southern Hemisphere standing at Swettenham Stud.

Te Akau's super September

The domination of Saturdays by Te Akau Racing showed no signs of slowing down. After celebrating a landmark Saturday last week, the tangerine army was back at it with the progressive filly Viva Vienna (NZ) (All Too Hard).

Sam Weatherly rode the Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson-trained 3-year-old to defeat Illicit Dreams (NZ) (Vancouver) and Warning Signal (NZ) (U S Navy Flag {USA}) in the Listed Canterbury Belle S. at Riccarton Park.

The filly is the 52nd stakes winner for the Vinery Stud-based All Too Hard.

Te Akau principal David Ellis CNZM purchased Viva Vienna for NZ$100,000 from the draft of Westbury Stud at the 2022 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale.

Q & A with Mick Sharkie

4 min read

In our latest Q & A series, The Thoroughbred Report seeks insights from a variety of professionals, be they agents, trainers, breeders, handlers, owners, administration and ancillary, etc., to hear their thoughts on our industry.

In today's Q & A, we feature a quick-fire round with Mick Sharkie, general manager at Leneva Park.

Favourite moment - racing, sales or breeding-related - for the 2022/23 season?

Mick Sharkie: Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr have been fantastic supporters of Leneva Park's pre-training program so anytime they land a good race with a horse that our team has prepared is hugely satisfying. The continued resurgence of our neighbours at Lindsay Park under the Hayes brothers has been really fun to watch, especially through the brilliant Mr Brightside.

Which sire do you consider a value sire? Fee <$50k and not a first-season sire.

MS: I will always kick up for Leneva Park's Group 1-winning stallions Fierce Impact and Royal Meeting and both represent terrific value for money. Fierce Impact in particular, given his physique and the burgeoning success of Deep Impact and Sunday Silence sirelines in Australasia. Away from Leneva, I'm really digging Supido ($19,800 inc GST) at Widden, a fast horse that is producing fast horses - what's not to like?

Supido | Standing at Widden Stud

What young sire (less than three crops) do you think will one day be Champion Sire?

MS: It's impossible not to be impressed by Home Affairs. The fastest son of a Champion Sire with power and presence in spades; with the might of Coolmore behind him he is destined for success.

Which yearling purchase in 2023 are you most excited about?

MS: I had enormous fun racing multiple Group winner Ocean Embers a few years back, so buying a share of her first filly by Deep Field wasn't a tough decision. Michael Freedman bought her out of the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and syndicated her as a ladies' horse, she is looking sharp enough so far. I bought my wife a share and we're super excited to see where the journey takes us next.

What, if any, is your greatest current-industry concern?

MS: Perhaps there are more obvious challenges, but I am concerned about the disproportionate way that gambling is promoted ahead of the horse.

We all know how critical wagering is to the health and indeed the future of our sport, but I would argue that fan connection to the horse and the sport itself is equally as crucial - otherwise racing becomes a casino game at a time when gambling is culturally somewhat on the nose.

Look at the programming breakdown of the three television broadcasters - countless tipping and form panel programs (and I've been on a few of them in my time), and one single thoroughbred-focused program, Bred To Win. There is absolutely a place for promoting tips and form study, but contemplate that ratio for a moment, what message are we sending to viewers?

To engage fans, we need them to feel something about the thing they are betting on. Depth of narrative is non-negotiable, otherwise, emotion becomes connected to the result of the wager and not the sporting moment or the players involved.

If broadcasters won't stump up and put breeding and thoroughbred-focussed shows to air, I urge Aushorse as the lead marketing body for the Australian thoroughbred to step up to the plate, reach into its coffers and develop programs to balance the ledger.

Name an emerging human talent in the industry, and say why?

MS: Sam Matthews is extremely talented. He is an incredible asset to Swettenham and to the Victorian breeding scene and is people-minded as much as he is commercially focused. He will continue to do great things.

If you had $10 million to invest in an industry initiative, what would it be and why?

MS: I think that there is great merit to the National Stud model established in England and Ireland. As well as operating as working studs, both serve the sport by turning out well-trained staff via their training programs and provide a unique connection point with the community through tours, coffee shops, gardens, and interactive museums; to that end the Irish National Stud is incredible and every racing administrator should visit it with open curiosity.

Of course, $10 million will only get the job done partially, but an Australian National Stud with the same ethos of education, engagement and connection is well worth investing in.

Black type results: Flemington, Randwick, Morphettville and Riccarton

Flemington: G1 Makybe Diva S., $750,000, 1600m

There seems little doubt that at the age of six Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) is an even better horse than he was this time last year - remembering that third-up last spring he was out of the placings in the G1 Underwood S. won by Alligator Blood (All Too Hard) whereas this time around he is proving just too strong for that gallant campaigner.

Saturday's 1.5l victory was one of his softest and it will be interesting to see if he can remain undefeated for the spring as he heads towards the G1 King Charles III S. (formerly the George Main) and the G1 WS Cox Plate in which he finished seventh last year.

Now a four-time Group 1 winner of over $9.3 million, Mr Brightside was bred by R.I and Est Late M.A.G Johnson and purchased by Phill Cataldo Bloodstock for NZ$22,000 at the 2019 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka May Weanling Sale.

Later passed in with a reserve of NZ$50,000 at the 2019 New Zealand Ready to Run Sale - Mr Brightside is one of the three stakes winners for his Orange Court-based, G3 CS Hayes S.-winning sire who served just 17 mares last spring.

Mr Brightside's dam is the unraced Lilahjay (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}) who has changed hands several times and never for much - sold as a weanling for NZ$1400, later online for NZ$500 and then for NZ$3000!

Also dam of the Hong Kong-based, eight-time winner Will Power (NZ) (Power {GB}) and a couple of winners in New Zealand, Lilahjay was not served last spring having foaled a Darci Brahma (NZ) filly in November.

She has a yet-to-be-named 2-year-old filly by Darci Brahma, while her 3-year-old Betterbeyou (NZ) (What's The Story {NZ}) is a yet-to-race member of the Gavin Sharrock stable in New Zealand.

Lilahjay is a granddaughter of the classy broodmare Delia’s Choice (NZ) (Sir Tristram {Ire}) whose six winners include the Group 1 winners Foxwood (NZ) (Centaine) and Celtic Tiger (NZ) (Jetball) - the former going on to produce the G3 Frank Packer Plate winner Rockwood (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}).

Also third dam of the Singapore-based multiple Group 1 winner Mr Clint (NZ) (Power {GB}), Delia’s Choice is a full sister to the multiple Group 1 winners Sovereign Red (NZ) and Gurner’s Lane (NZ).

Boasting Sadler’s Wells (USA), Sir Ivor (USA) and Secretariat (USA) crosses, Mr Brightside is also line-bred to the outstanding mares Natalma (USA) (Native Dancer {USA}), Lalun (USA) (Djeddah {Fr}), Somethingroyal (USA) (Princequillo {Ire}), Almahmoud (USA) (Mahmoud {Fr}) and Flower Bowl (USA) (Alibhai {GB}).

G2 Let's Elope S., $300,000, 1400m

As expected, getting back from her wide gate, Amelia's Jewel (Siyouni {Fr}) had plenty of ground to make up in the Flemington straight but she did just that - delighting local racegoers with a strong performance at her east coast debut.

The Walsh family's Amelia Park homebred is now an eight-time winner from just 10 starts, never finishing out of the first two and only once racing outside of stakes company - her second in the rich The Quokka in April.

One of her Haras de Bonneval-based sire's 71 stakes winners, she is the first foal for the stakes-placed import Bumbasina (Ire) (Canford Cliffs {Ire}), half-sister to the triple Group winner Epona Plays (Ire) (Australia {GB}) and the G3 Athasi S. winner Dolce Strega (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}).

Unfortunately failing to get in foal in 2020 and 2021, Bumbasina returned to the Northern Hemisphere last year and was on Saturday - as her daughter was saluting - paying a return visit to Siyouni (Fr).

Bumbasina (who was purchased for 75,000gns {AU$151,500} by Louis Le Metayer on behalf of Peter Walsh at the 2018 Tattersalls July Sale) has a Blue Point (Ire) 2-year-old colt in the Annabel Neasham stable - the Rosemont Stud-owned Bosustow who looks to get his career off to an early start when he steps out in Monday's Official 2YO Trials at Randwick.

A descendant of the legendary matriarch Chelandry (GB) (Goldfinch {GB}), Amelia's Jewel is by a stallion out of a mare bred on the same Busted (GB)/Danehill (USA) cross.

G2 Bobbie Lewis Quality, $300,000, 1200m

Withstanding a protest after showing plenty of speed to record his second success at stakes level (the Listed WJ Adams S. in January his first), Star Patrol (Starspangledbanner) took his prizemoney tally to beyond $500,000.

Bred by Greenhaven Park Stud and Dream Run Thoroughbreds, he was sold by Lustre Lodge to P Ma for $78,000 at the 2020 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.

One of the 33 stakes winners for his well-travelled Coolmore Stud-based sire, Star Patrol is the second foal produced by the Sandown winner It's One (O'Reilly {NZ}) whose first foal is the Hong Kong-based placegetter Salutation (Zoustar).

They are unfortunately the only two foals for It's One to date - having missed three seasons running before being served last spring by Doubtland.

It's One is out of the metropolitan winner Numero Douze (NZ) (Montjeu {Ire}) whose dam is the Group 1-placed Listed winner Tristachine (NZ) (Sir Tristram {Ire}) whose Listed Gimcrack S.-winning dam Getting There (Jungle Boy {GB}) also produced the stakes winners Rhythm (NZ) (Bakharoff {USA}) and Western Music (NZ) (Western Symphony {USA}).

Listed The Sofitel, $175,000, 1400m

In clear air as the favourite was looking for runs, Kalino (Pierro) finished strongly out wide to secure his first victory at stakes level and his seventh overall from 22 starts.

Bred by Mr W Lovatt and sold by Tyreel Stud to Star Thoroughbreds/Randwick Bloodstock Agency (FBAA) for $210,000 at the 2020 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, he is the 35th stakes winner for his Coolmore Stud-based, multiple Group 1-winning sire.

He is one of the two winners produced by the Randwick and Doomben winner Lanikai (I Am Invincible), half-sister to the stakes-placed Singapore-based galloper Peace No War (War Pass {USA}).

Foaling a Yes Yes Yes filly a couple of weeks ago, Lanikai missed to that same stallion the previous season her 2-year-old Maili - a member of the Brad Widdup stable - is also by him.

Lanikai is a granddaughter of the speedy Listed winner Ride The Rapids (River Rough {NZ}) whose G1 Oakleigh Plate-winning daughter River Dove (Hurricane Sky) is the dam of Vinery Stud's G2 Silver Slipper S. winner Headwater.

Whilst Pierro is bred on a 6 X 5 cross of the great mare Special (USA) (Forli {Arg}) via her son Nureyev (USA) and grandson Sadler's Wells (USA), Lanikai is a descendant of the famed matriarch Simon's Shoes (GB) (Simon Square {GB}) - Special's fourth dam.

Other stakes-winning members of this family include Kulgrinda (Exceed And Excel), River Delta (Al Maher), River Night (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Crown Prosecutor (Medaglia D'Oro {USA}), Willow Creek (Tale Of The Cat {USA}), First Command (Commands) and Kia Ora's G1 Champagne S. winner Captivant.

Listed Poseidon S., $175,000, 1100m

A bargain buy was to the fore here: the $10,000 2021 Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale graduate, Archo Nacho (Sioux Nation {USA}), so strong along the rails, recording the second win of his three-start career.

Raced by his trainer Matt Laurie and his partner Kate Brideoake 'the family horse' was due to head to Hong Kong but fortunately his happy owners decided to hold onto him to see how he would progress.

And progressing he is, doing such a good job winning a stakes race so early in his career. He is the 13th stakes winner - and the first in Australia - for his G1 Phoenix S.-winning sire who shuttled just once to Australia, serving just 54 mares with 39 live foals the result.

Of those, 12 have made it to the track and five are winners with Apache Song stakes-placed whilst another two have won at metropolitan level.

Bred by Mr P Johnson, Archo Nacho is one of the five winners (from six to race) for the Wellington Boot and triple city winner Jackpot Queen (Not A Single Doubt) whose son Big Red (Starcraft {NZ}) and daughter Star Galaxy (Star Witness) are city winners.

From the family of the stakes winners Hot As Hell (County), Pekalan (Sri Pekan {USA}), Craig's Dragon (Catbird), Flaming Hot (County) and Alart (Excellent Art {GB}), Jackpot Queen was served last spring by Saxon Warrior (Jpn) having sadly lost her foal by Harry Angel (Ire).

Listed Exford Plate, $175,000, 1400m

It was a breakthrough winner for Widden Stud's four-time Group 1 winner Trapeze Artist - Griff his first stakes winner on the back of the four stakes-placed gallopers he has produced in his debut crop.

Bred by Widden Stud Australia and Mr A Goonan, Griff was sold by Widden to Kavanagh Racing Stables for $80,000 at the 2022 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.

The winner of two of his six starts, the promising 3-year-old is the second foal for the G3 Blue Diamond Preview-placed Chateau Griffo (Sebring) whose first foal is the city-placed, three-time winner Social Conscience (Capitalist).

Served last spring by I Am Immortal after foaling a colt by North Pacific, Chateau Griffo is out of the stakes-placed Moulin Rouge (Commands), in turn daughter of the stakes-placed Dance Class (NZ) (Bin Ajwaad {Ire}) whose grandam is the Listed Maribyrnong Trial S. winner Western Music (NZ) (Western Symphony {USA}).

Griff carries three strains of Danehill (USA) - Redoute's Choice, Flying Spur and Commands and also has that great stallion's relations Northern Dancer (Can) and Halo (USA).

Listed Cap D'Antibes S., $175,000, 1100m

Taking on some nice fillies down the famous Flemington straight, Shesallshenanigans (Toronado {Ire}) showed both speed and class recording the fourth win of her seven-start career.

Bred by Ms L.E Owen, she is the 34th stakes winner for her Swettenham Stud-based, two-time Group 1-winning sire. Sold by Kulani Park to Simon Zahra Racing at the 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling sale, she fetched $115,000.

A flashy bay typical of what Toronado (Ire) can produce, Shesallshenanigans is a full sister to the Listed-winning sprinter Shelby Cobra out of the placed mare Segenhoe Valley (Dane Shadow).

Slipping last spring to Toronado having foaled a Written Tycoon filly, Segenhoe Valley is out of the city winner Scone (Zabeel {NZ}), a half-sister to the Zimbabwe-based stakes winner Sunrise Silence (Squill {USA}).

Boasting crosses of the lovely mares Natalma (USA) (Native Dancer {USA}), Special (USA) (Forli {Arg}) and Somethingroyal (USA) (Princequillo {Ire}), Shesallshenanigans hails from the same family as stakes winners Royal Discretion (Royal Academy {USA}), Roulettes (Flying Spur), Sun City, Parlophone (I Am Invincible), Vezalay (Shamardal {USA}), Albany Reunion (Fastnet Rock), Sir Frenchie (Choisir), Fast Dragon (Fastnet Rock), Giannis (Flying Artie) and Rock Robster (Fastnet Rock).

Randwick: G2 The Shorts, $1,000,000, 1100m

What a wonderful record the classy, durable and adaptable galloper Private Eye (Al Maher) has built, his determined first-up victory today being the 11th of his 28-start career - one which has seen him win five stakes races between 1100 and 1600 metres.

The 2021 G1 Epsom H.-winning, The Everest-bound 6-year-old is one of the 38 stakes winners for his retired G1 Australian Guineas-winning sire, a three-quarter brother to Redoute's Choice.

Bred by Goodwood Farm and sold through the Ambergate Farm draft at the 2019 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale for $62,500, he is one of the three winners for the unplaced, lightly raced Confidential Queen (Shamardal {USA}), half-sister to the Group 3-placed King's Troop (Redoute's Choice).

Also dam of the multiple city winner Royal Witness (Star Witness), Confidential Queen missed last spring to Farnan having foaled a Shalaa (Ire) filly in November. Also the dam of a yet-to-be-named 2-year-colt by that stallion, she is a granddaughter of the fast dual stakes winner Snippets' Lass (Snippets) whose five winners include the Champion Sire Snitzel and the Group 3 winners Hinchinbrook and Viennese (Redoute's Choice).

Line-bred to the close relations Northern Dancer (Can) and Halo (USA), Private Eye was one of two stakes winners for the family today, the G3 Bill Ritchie H. winner Rediener (Redoute's Choice) the other.

7 S., $1,000,000, 1600m

It has been an amazing comeback from injury for the tough and talented Think It Over (So You Think {NZ}) who was in the winner's circle at his third run for the campaign having been previously seen in the 2022 G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. which he won.

Showing plenty of courage running down Zaaki (GB) (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}), Think It Over is now a 13-time winner (three in Group 1 company) of over $7.7 million in stakes.

One of the 54 stakes winners (and 11 Group 1 winners) for his Coolmore Stud-based star sire, Think It Over is a homebred for Bylong Park out of the unraced Personal Service (Zabeel {NZ}) who has produced another three winners.

A half-sister to the Group 1 gallopers Universal Prince and Universal Queen (Scenic {Ire}), Personal Service sadly died last year with her final foal being the yet-to-race Denis Pagan-trained 4-year-old Normie No Show (Exosphere).

Able to count amongst his relations the big-race winners Blevic and Krone (Eurozone), Think It Over is line-bred to the wonderful mares Special (USA) (Forli {Arg}), Lalun (USA) (Djeddah {Fr}) and Perfume II (GB) (Badruddin {Fr}) and he is one of the five So You Think (NZ) stakes winners (and two Group 1 winners - Nimalee the other) amongst his 24 winners (from 33 runners) out of Zabeel (NZ) mares.

G2 Tea Rose S., $300,000, 1400m

Tiz Invincible (I Am Invincible) is a filly who just keeps doing everything right and she was tough holding off her rivals recording her third win from five starts with all of her successes coming at stakes level.

One of the 98 stakes winners for her Yarraman Park-based twice Champion Sire, she was bred by Phoenix Thoroughbreds and sold through the Segenhoe Thoroughbreds draft for $550,000 to Bahen Bloodstock, Ciaron Maher Racing, Astute Bloodstock (FBAA) and Eric Lucas at the 2022 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

She is the second foal (the first to race) produced by Amuletum (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), a half-sister to Godolphin's recently retired star Anamoe out of the G1 Australasian Oaks winner Anamato (Redoute's Choice).

Also the dam of Royal Mule, a yet to race Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained 4-year-old son of Kingman (GB), Amuletum raced seven times for the Peter Chapple-Hyam stable. Raced by the late Paul Makin, she was an odds-on favourite when claiming her only victory - a Leicester Class 5 contest in which she put 10l on her rivals.

Arriving in Australian in 2018, she has had two colts since producing Tiz Invincible - a yet-to-be-named 2-year-old colt by Pierata (a $200,000 Magic Millions purchase this year for Justin Fang and Aquis Stallions) and a yearling colt by I Am Invincible. She was served last spring by Aclaim (Ire).

Amuletum is one of the four winners produced by Anamato whose daughter Anamba (GB) (Shamardal {USA}) is a Listed winner in Ireland. Still at stud at Godolphin, Anamato was served by Street Boss (USA) last spring having missed to him the previous season. Her most recent foal is the 2-year-old Blue Willow (Blue Point {Ire}).

Tiz Invincible is one of the 11 I Am Invincible stakes winners line-bred to Canny Lad of whom she boasts a 3 X 5 cross. She also carries duplications of the outstanding mares Lalun (USA) (Djeddah {Fr}), Natalma (USA) (Native Dancer {USA}) and Relance (Fr) (Relic {USA}).

G3 Kingston Town S., $250,000, 2000m

Impressive when making a winning Australian debut at Randwick a couple of weeks ago, Just Fine (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) handled a rise in class with aplomb - relishing the step up to 2000 metres.

Known in the UK as King Charles' first winner, Just Fine was purchased by McKeever Bloodstock and Waterhouse Bott Racing for 300,000gns (AU$606,700) at the 2022 Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale.

The 113th stakes winner for his Gilltown Stud-based sire, the 2009 European Horse of the Year, Just Fine is one of the four winners for the three-time winning miler Bint Almatar (USA) (Kingmambo {USA}) whose other son of Sea The Stars (Ire) - Perseus Way (Ire) - is a winner over the jumps.

Bint Almatar is out of the Listed winner Firth Of Lorne (Ire) (Danehill {USA}) who has been well-represented by four stakes winners amongst her 10 winners - the five-time Group winner Master Of The Seas (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), the Listed winners Latharnach (USA) (Iffraaj {GB}) and Etive (USA) (Elusive Quality {USA}) and the G3 UAE Oaks winner Falls Of Lora (Ire) (Street Cry {Ire}).

The latter has made her mark locally as the dam of the G1 Doncaster H., G1 All Aged S., and G1 Australian Cup winner Cascadian (GB) (New Approach {Ire}).

G3 Bill Ritchie H., $250,000, 1400m

Getting clear after taking the lead with 150 metres to go, Rediener (Redoute's Choice) was strong to the line recording his second stakes win from 13 starts - and his fifth overall.

The winner in June of the G3 Gunsynd Classic, he is one of the 23 foals from the final crop of his super star sire (who has been so well-represented by 182 stakes winners) who died four years ago.

A homebred for Neil Werrett, Rediener is one of the four stakes performers produced by the stakes-placed Weiner (More Than Ready {USA}) - also dam of the Listed Phelan Ready S. winner Rathlin (Fastnet Rock) and the stakes-placed city winners Redoutable Heart (Redoute's Choice) and Za Zi Bar (All Too Hard).

Dying last year with her final foal being a yet to be named 2-year-old colt by Fastnet Rock, Weiner has a 3-year-old daughter - La Belle Vie (The Autumn Sun) - in the Chris Waller stable.

Weiner is a half-sister to Snitzel and Hinchinbrook and her speedy dual stakes-winning dam Snippets' Lass (Snippets) is the third dam of today's G2 The Shorts winner Private Eye (Al Maher).

Morphettville: Listed W H Wylie H., $120,000, 1100m

The second stakes winner for the day for her sire Al Maher (Private Eye the other and of his 38 overall), Grey River is a homebred for the Crawford family's Real Time Investments.

A consistent performer who was having her first run since early June, the lightly raced 4-year-old had been stakes-placed on two occasions.

She is out of the multiple city winner Grey Cheval (Husson Lightning) whose dam Solange (Surtee) also won several races in town - as did her stakes-placed half-sister Our Grey Halo (Don't Say Halo {USA}).

Hailing from the family of the G1 Blue Diamond S. winner Undoubtedly and the stakes winners Runaway Knight (Always Welcome), Satellite Bay (Don't Say Halo), Regal Kiss (Royal Academy {USA}) and Toorak Thunder (Real Cash {USA}), Grey Cheval foaled an Overshare filly last month with her previous foal being a colt by Royal Meeting (Ire).

Riccarton: Listed Canterbury Belle S., NZ$80,000, 1200m

Showing good heart getting up in the final strides as a hot odds-on favourite, Viva Vienna (NZ) (All Too Hard) did a great job with her first stakes-level victory and her fourth overall from just seven starts.

Bred by Gerry Harvey and sold by Westbury Stud to David Ellis for NZ$100,000 at the 2022 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale, she is the 23rd stakes winner for her Vinery Stud-based, four-time Group 1-winning sire.

Her dam, the unraced Anna Of Austria (Snitzel), has also produced the stakes-placed city winner Divine Inanna (Real Impact {Jpn}) and she is a daughter of the dual Listed winner Cannyanna (Canny Lad) - also dam of the Listed Geelong Classic winner Milestone (Redoute's Choice).

Served last spring by El Roca having had the previous season off, Anna Of Austria has a 2-year-old filly by the name of Liechtenstein (NZ) (Swiss Ace) who has been retained to race by Harvey.

Hailing from the same family as the stakes winners Load And Lockett (Serheed {USA}), Kim Invader (Second Empire {Ire}) and Kim Una (Umatilla {NZ}), Viva Vienna is line-bred to her own family with her Group 2-winning seventh dam Lady Kells (Ire) (His Highness {GB}) being the fifth dam of All Too Hard's sire Casino Prince.

She also boasts interesting male line-breeding patterns with her sire All Too Hard and damsire Sniztel being bred on the same Danehill (USA)/Snippets cross.

Justify’s Star Of Justice breaks through

The 2022/23 Australian Champion First Season Sire Justify (USA) sired his 12th winner on Saturday at Riccarton Park in New Zealand courtesy of Star Of Justice. The 3-year-old filly, trained by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson, was having her second start won dominantly.

Star Of Justice caught the eye of Te Akau principal David Ellis CNZM who paid NZ$190,000 for the filly at the 2022 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale where she was consigned by Pencarrow Stud.

Instragrand mends Gollan’s tough day

It was a mixed day in the office for Tony Gollan. However, the Brisbane-based trainer looked to have another smart prospect on his hands with Instagrand. The daughter of the second-season sire Written By scored at Eagle Farm in a 3-year-old BM70 H. over 1000 metres.

“It’s been one of these days in Melbourne, but it’s been great watching Instragrand score,” Gollan’s assistant trainer Craig Cavanough said.

“She was good the other day and a touch unlucky.

“It was good to see her come out today and reproduce that run and put them away.

“She’s a nice filly.”

Written By stands at Widden Stud this season for $27,500 (inc GST).

Williams address Giga Kick booting

Craig Williams rode a double at Flemington on Saturday, and naturally the post-race questions included asking Williams his thoughts towards losing the ride on the Clayton Douglas-trained Giga Kick (Scissor Kick).

As usual, Williams took the diplomatic approach.

“Everyone is dealing with something, as it turned out it is a horse race,” Williams told Racing.com.

“It’s my job and I love to do it and I love the horse. Jonathan Munz, the owner of Giga Kick, has chosen to replace me and that is his prerogative.

“My team and my support around me and the stuff we do humanitarian-wise gives you a greater perspective on life.

“I can’t ride the horse and it’s disappointing, but I wish Giga Kick all the best. I think he’s a superstar, so good luck with him going forward.”

Orman explains Antino tactics to stewards

It was a horror watch for the backers of the Tony Gollan-trained Antino (NZ) (Redwood {GB}) at Flemington on Saturday.

Orman explained the ride to Racing Victoria stewards, “I just thought I’d have to work too much to hold the lead,” he explained.

“I thought I was going to get a nice run in the box seat. In hindsight, I didn’t.”

Rob Mongomery, Racing Victoria’s chief steward, asked Orman: “Do you think there was a full run?”

In which Orman replied: “I thought it was tight, but there was room there. It was the first time my horse was running Melbourne way, it was getting a bit awkward on the corner, it made it hard for him to get the run.

“He was genuine.”

Racing Victoria stewards issued Orman with a warning to exercise more care in the future.

Costin enjoying Melbourne

Former Sydney-based jockey Winona Costin made the move to Melbourne in August and hasn’t looked back.

Costin continued her association with the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable in Melbourne, and partnered The Instructor (Russian Revolution) in the Listed Poseidon S.

“Gai and Adrian are big supporters of mine; I wouldn’t have come down to Melbourne if it wasn’t for them.

“I was also coming off injury in Sydney, and during the spring it’s a hard time to pick up rides, so I’ll keep it up and hopefully something comes my way.”

Group 1 winner outclasses rivals

The Andrew Forsman-trained Mustang Valley (NZ) (Vanbrugh) defeated her overmatched rivals at New Plymouth on Saturday.

The Group 1 winner contested the Seaton Park Open over 1400 metres.

“That was a super win and was designed to set her up for the next two days at Hastings, which it has done,” Forsman said.

“She is a pretty straightforward mare, who tends to tow herself into contention in her races. She did exactly what we thought and The Arrowfield will be her next run.”

The G1 Arrowfield S. will be held at Hastings on September 30.

Big Evs takes out Flying Childers

The Michael Appleby-trained and RP Racing-owned Big Evs (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}) finished among the tailenders in last month's G1 Nunthorpe at York and rebounded in style with a scintillating pillar-to-post triumph in Friday's G2 Carlsberg Danish Pilsner Flying Childers S. at Doncaster.

“After he jumped out of the stalls there wasn't really a doubt,” said Appleby after claiming a career high of his own. “You've got to be up the front on this (soft) ground and once he got three or four lengths on them, they weren't going to catch him. It is not the ideal ground for him, but he's got the job done well and he's won a Molecomb and a Flying Childers on soft ground now. We just had to put a line through the Nunthorpe. I think he had an exceptionally hard race at Goodwood and that just took its toll.”

Trueshan prevails in Doncaster Cup

Beaten in the G2 Doncaster Cup last season, Trueshan (Fr) (Planteur {Ire}) showed his story is far from finished back in that Town Moor feature on Friday as he registered an unorthodox success returning from a break. Only fourth in the G3 Sagaro S. when last seen in May, the Singula Partnership's 7-year-old had undergone wind surgery in the interim and there were obvious questions as to whether he could get back to his previous pinnacle in the staying division.

“That was definitely not Plan A! It's not the first time he's given me a rodeo either, but he can still win because he's so superior,” Doyle said. “He's back to his best. To do it that way round he must be. The thing today was we were going a pedestrian pace and it was breaking his stride, so when you are on a big horse like that, I just let him bowl along and it was going to be make or break. The wind op has definitely helped. At Ascot earlier this year, we hacked around and he curled up a furlong and a half out whereas today he proved he's back to his best.”

Looking Back

There was not much luck on Saturday for our selections. At Newcastle Jurisprudence (Justify {USA}) did best finishing third, while at Echuca Tidal Surge (So You Think {NZ}) was unplaced. Tight Grip (Trapeze Artist) was scratched from his engagement at Echuca.
