Group 1 for Red Tracer

| June 26, 2013

Red Tracer finally broken her Group One drought, winning the $500,000 Tattersall’s Tiara (1,400m) at Eagle Farm in Brisbane. Few people would begrudge the Chris Waller-trained mare her moment in the sun as she has been among the most honest mares in the country in recent seasons. Despite racing wide, Red Tracer dashed clear under […]

Patience the key to Al Kazeem

Patience the key to Al Kazeem

| June 21, 2013

Al Kazeem added to his burgeoning reputation with his success in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes, the feature race on day two at Royal Ascot. Consistent Irish success at the meeting helped to send off Camelot as the favourite but last year’s Derby winner was only fourth and now seems a busted flush. It cannot have […]

Dawn Approach, the English 2,000 Guineas winner and abject beaten favourite in the Epsom Derby, narrowly prevailed in a thrilling battle with Toronado in the St James’s Palace Stakes, the highlight of day one at Royal Ascot.

Palace Malice took charge on the turn for home and won the Belmont Stakes in unrelenting style, beating Preakness winner Oxbow and Kentucky Derby winner Orb.

Ballydoyle rules the world

Gondokoro belts Qld Oaks field

| June 2, 2013

Victorian-trained Gondokoro brilliantly won the Queensland Oaks at Eagle Farm vindicating Pat Carey as a master trainer of stayers. Carey has a great relationship with stable jockey Rhys McLeod and his ride aboard Gondokoro was more than worthy of a Group One victory. McLeod tracked $2.90 favourite Dear Demi early, before continuing to save ground on the […]

Sizzling stands up in Qld Guineas

An inspired ride from Chris Munce landed a massive betting plunge on Sizzling in the Group Two Queensland Guineas at Eagle Farm. Munce admitted he had been relieved on two fronts when Sizzling ($3.80) scored by a long neck to Dances of Stars ($41) with a long head to Lucky Hussler ($26). He had been […]
