  • Sir Delius Arises in Queen Elizabeth Triumph

    Weekend, 13th April 2026
    Expectations can be a heavy burden, and on the biggest stage of Sydney's autumn carnival they were turned on their head as a rising import delivered a performance few saw coming in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Randwick. According to punters.com.au, Sir Delius (Frankel) dismantled one of the season's defining narratives, halting the unbeaten run of Autumn Glow and doing so with authority in the $5 million weight-for-age feature. The Tulloch Lodge-trained galloper not only toppled the headline act, but did so in a manner that left little room for doubt, surging clear to claim a decisive victory over a field packed with proven performers. The result carried a strong sense of redemption. Denied a shot at the Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup in the spring after failing a pre-race scan, the entire had been forced to reset, with connections regrouping and targeting the Sydney autumn. That patience was rewarded in emphatic fashion. "This is the one that counted," co-trainer Adrian Bott said. "Obviously it was difficult those first parts of this preparation, he had a little bit of expectation on him from what he was able to achieve in the spring. But we kept focus and this was the goal that we really wanted to be able to achieve, today was the right set-up and Craig executed it perfectly." Ridden positively by Craig Williams, Sir Delius was positioned within striking distance throughout, ensuring Autumn Glow would have to work to maintain her perfect record. Turning for home, he moved to the front and never relented, holding a margin of more than two lengths at the line. For Williams, the victory held personal significance, coming more than a decade after partnering Criterion to success in the same race for owner Sir Owen Glenn. "Wow, what an amazing racehorse, what a great performance by him," he said. "This is one of the biggest prizes we have on our Australian racing calendar." He also reflected on the horse's demeanour before the start, noting, "In the gates he had Autumn Glow next to him and he went to check her out. I said to him 'mate, if you win this, you've got a chance of dating her'." Autumn Glow, sent out a dominant favourite, travelled comfortably but was found wanting late as the tempo lifted over the concluding stages. Jockey James McDonald was gracious in defeat. "She was so brave in defeat," he said. "They really stretched it from basically the 1400m. She relaxed and travelled into it beautifully. Credit to the winner. He sustained that speed. He was up there fighting and too good on the day." Behind them, Lindermann produced a strong closing effort to claim second, edging past the tiring favourite, while Dubai Honour again found the contest beyond him. For Waterhouse and Bott, the breakthrough in this race stands among their most significant achievements. "It's got to be right up there," Bott said. "Coming here today against a champion mare… it's one of the biggest races we've been able to win as a partnership."

  • South Australian Derby Looks the Single Choice

    Weekend, 13th April 2026
    A drifting market proved no guide to the outcome at Caulfield on Saturday, where a progressive stayer turned a searching middle-distance test into a statement performance that now points directly toward Group 1 company. Single Choice stamped his credentials in the Listed Manhari Galilee Series Final (2400m), overcoming a pre-race ease in betting to assert himself when it mattered most. Despite strong support earlier in the week, he eased to start a $5 third elect behind Amazake and Arabian Prince, but that shift in sentiment was quickly rendered irrelevant once the race unfolded. Positioned ideally by Jamie Mott, he settled just off the leader Awesome Artist, conserving energy through a moderate early tempo before the race began to build from the 800m. As the field compressed approaching the home turn, he momentarily looked vulnerable, caught in a tightening pack, but responded when asked, surging forward to take control at a crucial point. From there, the contest became a test of endurance, and his superiority at the trip was evident. Drawing clear in the straight, he held a length and a quarter margin over Arabian Prince, with Amazake close behind in third, the result underlining both his stamina and his capacity to sustain a run. Trainer Matt Cumani viewed the performance as the confirmation he had been seeking. "I think we've got to go to Adelaide off that," he said, signalling a tilt at the Group 1 South Australian Derby (2500m) at Morphettville. The race had been used as a gauge of his staying potential. "This race was a bit of a test to see if he might get a Derby distance, and even though it might not have been a solidly run 2400m throughout, I think it's provided enough of a test to say that we can go there and give it a go." There had been lingering doubts about whether he would see out a true staying trip, but Cumani was encouraged by the way the race unfolded. "I was very nervous about whether he'd get the trip, but he got a beautiful ride by Motty. No speed early, but they went pretty solid from the 800m, even earlier than that, and he had to sustain a pretty hard run." Crucially, the gelding possesses a turn of foot that adds a tactical edge. "He's got that turn of foot, and that's really valuable for a horse that can get a bit of a trip." Bred by Kingstar Farm, he is by Widden Stud stallion Anders (Not A Single Doubt) out of the Sebring mare Sebring Sally, whose own performances over middle distances hinted at the stamina now coming through in her progeny. Purchased for $80,000 from the NZB Ready to Run Sale at Karaka by Cumani Racing after initially being sold for the same amount at the Inglis Classic Sale as a yearling, he has developed into a consistent performer, with four wins and three placings from 10 starts, and earnings surpassing $400,000.

  • Ohope Wins Earns Rare Double Oaks Triumph

    Weekend, 13th April 2026
    History added another chapter at Royal Randwick on Saturday as a filly of grit and stamina joined an exclusive trans-Tasman club with victory in the Gr1 Australian Oaks (2400m), reports NZ Racing Desk. Ohope Wins confirmed her standing as one of the leading staying fillies of her generation, becoming just the fourth to complete the New Zealand Oaks–Australian Oaks double, following Domino, Bonneval and Pennyweka. The achievement was built on a preparation that steadily elevated her from a promising prospect into a proven elite performer across classic distances. Her New Zealand campaign had already laid the foundation, with a sequence of strong finishes delivering wins in the Sir Patrick Hogan Stakes, the David & Karyn Ellis Fillies' Classic and the New Zealand Oaks at Ellerslie. That progression attracted the attention of Yulong Investments, who secured her after her initial breakthrough and subsequently transferred her to Chris Waller for a Sydney autumn campaign. A first Australian run in the Vinery Stud Stakes did not fully showcase her capabilities, the step back to 2000m and a slowly run race working against her late-closing style. The return to 2400m at Randwick, however, provided the conditions she needed to produce her best. Settling near the tail of the field under James McDonald, she was more than a dozen lengths from the leaders through the early and middle stages as the tempo remained genuine. Despite the deficit, she travelled comfortably, gradually improving her position before being angled into clear air at the top of the straight. Once balanced, she quickly closed on the leaders, with Profoundly offering the sternest resistance. The pair matched strides briefly, but Ohope Wins found more in the final stages, edging clear to score by a long neck in a contest that rewarded endurance and resolve. "They ran the race really quickly, so it suited her down to the ground," McDonald said. "I always had a plan to ride her quiet. We were fortunate that the pace went on and it never stopped, so it was going to be the toughest stayer that won, and that's exactly what she was." He also reflected on her previous run, noting the contrast in race shape. "It didn't quite go her way last start at Rosehill, which was a slowly run race. She's a very gritty filly and showed that today, where she had enough on the line." Waller was quick to acknowledge the work done before the filly arrived in his care. "I can't take all the credit," he said. "Lance O'Sullivan and Andrew Scott did a great job with her before she came to me… It hasn't been hard at all inheriting her for this Oaks campaign, because you know the horse is good enough. It was just about keeping it simple." Bred by Gartshore Bloodstock, she is by Ocean Park out of Choux Mania, a pedigree rich in Group 1 success. Her emergence has also added further lustre to the National Online Yearling Sale, with a three-quarter-sister catalogued as Lot 87 on Gavelhouse Plus.

  • Dundeel's Flyer Idles in Group 1 Until it Matters

    Weekend, 13th April 2026
    A performance of patience and acceleration reshaped the pecking order among Australia's elite mares at Royal Randwick, where Idle Flyer announced herself at the highest level with a decisive victory in the Queen Of The Turf Stakes. Stepping into Group 1 company for the first time, the four-year-old arrived with momentum but without the profile of some of her more established rivals. Wins had been building, including a last-start success in the Emancipation Stakes, yet this was a sharper examination against proven names such as Pride Of Jenni, Lady Shenandoah and Treasurethe Moment. What unfolded suggested she belonged. Allowed to find her feet early, she conceded ground before unleashing a sustained finishing run that carried her over the top of the field, turning what had looked a competitive contest into a convincing result. The win, her eighth from just 15 starts, pushed her earnings beyond $1.1 million and underlined the value secured when she was purchased for $70,000 from Torryburn Stud at the Classic Yearling Sale. Trainer Matthew Smith and Randwick Bloodstock's Brett Howard combined on the acquisition, one that has now paid dividends at the highest level. Confidence in the mare's ability had always been there for breeder Brett Cornish, who had watched her develop through the early stages of her career. "She just needed time but she always had plenty of ability we thought and it's great to see her showing that now," he said. He pointed to her rapid progression through the grades and her defining asset. "She's really zoomed through the grades, she's got a great turn of foot and to be fair, looks like she's got plenty left in the tank." Market trends at the time may have worked in her favour. "She was always a lovely filly but for whatever reason at the time, everybody seemed to be off Dundeel fillies so Matt and Mel [Smith] and Brett Howard got themselves another great value buy at Classic and look at her now." For Smith, the scale of the result took a moment to register. "That was some win, wasn't it? I don't know what to say really, it was unbelievable," he said. "I just can't believe she won. I knew she was going good but I didn't think she could win that if I'm being honest." The success carried additional meaning given his long association with the ownership group. "Lex and Sandy Tall gave us a few horses to look at at the Classic Sale… and by some fluke we came up with her and here we are today." Tactics also played their part, with Smith noting the ride from Zac Lloyd allowed the race to unfold favourably. "It was a great ride… we were just hoping that Pride Of Jenni had a bad day and we were able to get home over the top of them." Plans now turn to Brisbane, with races such as the Stradbroke Handicap and Tattersall's Tiara shaping as logical next targets for a mare whose rise shows little sign of slowing.

  • Lord Of Biscay Lifts Lees to Another Midway Title

    Weekend, 13th April 2026
    A familiar dominance was reasserted at Royal Randwick on Saturday as one of the state's leading provincial trainers again stamped his authority on the $1 million Provincial-Midway Championships Final. Kris Lees returned to the top of the standings courtesy of Lord Of Biscay, who produced a decisive performance to secure his sixth victory and lead home a stable quinella with Imposant. The result marked a measure of redemption after the gelding's runner-up finish in the race 12 months earlier, this time leaving little doubt as he powered clear in the closing stages. The success adds further weight to Lees' remarkable record in the race, having now won half of its 12 editions since its early years, beginning with Danish Twist in 2016. A string of subsequent victories has reinforced his standing in the provincial ranks, and Saturday's result also delivered his third quinella in the feature, with an added personal dimension given his wife Kristy's involvement in the ownership of the runner-up. "We're the biggest stable in the provincials, we're entitled to have good representation," Lees said, reflecting on the depth of his operation. He was quick to credit the team behind the scenes. "Full credit to all the staff at home to get these horses presented on the day and they raced really well." The race itself unfolded in a manner that gave Lees confidence throughout, despite a slightly awkward starting position. With James McDonald in the saddle, Lord Of Biscay secured a favourable passage and travelled strongly into the contest. "He got him a perfect run in transit, I was very confident in the run that he was getting all the favours that he needed and he reacted well," Lees said. "He got a lovely J-Mac ride from a touch tricky gate, put him into a perfect spot." As the field approached the home turn, the key moment came when McDonald angled for clear running, threading a path through the pack at the 300m. From there, the response was immediate and decisive. "I don't get too confident in the run but he looked pretty sweet in the run, just a matter of getting out and he got out at the right time," Lees said. Once clear, the son of Lope De Vega surged away, extending his margin to three lengths at the finish. Imposant held second at long odds, while defending champion Matcha Latte battled on for third. In a race that has become a showcase for provincial talent, the outcome once again underlined the strength and consistency of the Lees stable, with Lord Of Biscay delivering a performance that matched the occasion.

  • Sydney Cup Changingoftheguard Salutes for Lees

    Weekend, 13th April 2026
    Two miles can expose weaknesses as quickly as it rewards resolve, and at Royal Randwick it was an unfashionable stayer who turned a slowly run contest into a race of nerve and timing to claim the Sydney Cup. Changingoftheguard arrived off an unconvincing lead-up, yet found the right circumstances to deliver a performance that belied both his odds and recent form. Sent forward early by Jason Collett, he was allowed to dictate terms through the middle stages, gradually turning the race into a test of judgement rather than sheer stamina. That approach raised eyebrows, even within his own camp. "What a lovely rated ride, I thought he was actually going too slow," trainer Kris Lees said. "He got him back to 14 (second sectionals), he goes quicker in trackwork most mornings. But he upped the ante when they came up around him and it was really pleasing." The race began to change shape well before the straight, with River Of Stars and Newlook pressing forward in search of a genuine staying test. Instead, their move became the catalyst for the leader to lift. Still travelling comfortably along the rail, Changingoftheguard absorbed the pressure and responded when asked, maintaining his advantage as the field fanned on the turn. Collett could feel the difference when it mattered. "He's very tough," he said. "I think when Rachel King came to me down the side and he didn't throw in the towel I thought 'that's a change'." With that, the task became one of sustaining momentum rather than finding it, and the gelding did enough to hold off the late closers. Soul Of Spain charged into the finish to get within a half-neck, while Highland Bling was not far away in third, both benefitting from the increased tempo but unable to reel in the leader who had already stolen a break. For Lees, the victory carried a sense of symmetry. Nearly 20 years on from his first success in the race, he again found himself in the winner's stall, this time in the colours of Lloyd Williams. "It's a great thrill, to win in those colours too," he said, the result marking his 19th Group 1 triumph. The preparation had been built with this race in mind, including a gear change saved for the occasion. "We saved the blinkers… it was a good plan and happy to get the win," Lees said, noting the improvement from the horse's previous outing. Nick Williams acknowledged the broader significance of the win. "Really today is about Kris Lees," he said. "He is the nicest guy in racing and I am absolutely thrilled to have a horse with him and win this race." On a day where tactics proved decisive, it was a ride of restraint and a horse willing to respond that shaped the outcome.

  • Platimum Attacks the Line Strongly at Otaki

    Weekend, 13th April 2026
    A perfectly timed surge down the Otaki straight proved decisive as a proven finisher once again showcased the qualities that have made him such a dangerous proposition under the right conditions. With tempo and positioning falling into place, the result was never in doubt once clear air appeared. Platinum Attack delivered a commanding performance in the Listed City Of Napier Sprint over 1200m, unleashing his trademark acceleration to put the race beyond reach inside the final furlong. From a wide draw, rider Bruno Queiroz was forced to make early decisions but executed them with precision, easing the gelding into a comfortable rhythm just off the fence behind midfield after the opening exchanges. Up front, Poetic Champion ensured a genuine pace, with race favourite Kitty Flash tracking closely throughout before taking control turning for home. For a moment she looked poised to justify her billing, but that picture changed rapidly once Platinum Attack angled into clear running approaching the 200m. Given his cue, he lengthened decisively, putting the race away in a matter of strides before easing down late to score by more than a length. Navigator chased gamely into second, mirroring his placing behind the same rival at Trentham last month, while Kitty Flash held third despite being well clear of the remainder. Trainer Lisa Latta was quick to point to the conditions that allow the five-year-old to produce his best. "The key to him is switching him off," she said. "The minute he gets up travelling a bit keen he can't quite finish it off and today they ran along at good speed which definitely helps. When he does switch off he has a blistering turn of foot." The performance was another in a string of consistent efforts during a campaign that began in November, with Latta noting he "has been competitive all the way and hasn't gone a bad race." Future plans remain open, although a step up in distance has not been ruled out. "We would love to try him at 1400m at some stage but we will let the dust settle from today before we make any decisions," she said. Bred by Aquis Farm in partnership with G1G Racing & Breeding and Fly Horse, the son of Santos has proven a shrewd acquisition for his owners. Purchased for $37,000 as a weanling at Magic Millions, he has now compiled eight wins from 23 starts, with earnings in excess of $446,000 continuing to underline his value.

  • Massive Offering for Inglis April (Early) Online Sale

    Weekend, 13th April 2026
    Strong demand and a deep pool of offerings have combined to produce one of the most expansive Inglis Digital catalogues in recent memory, with the April (Early) Online Sale now open and attracting attention across all sectors of the industry. From racing prospects to broodmares and stallion shares, the breadth of stock ensures there is something to engage buyers at every level. A total of 551 lots have been assembled, headlined by 207 racehorses, including 89 race fillies, alongside 186 broodmares, 76 racehorse shares and a spread of younger stock that features 49 yearlings, 21 weanlings and a handful of two-year-olds and unbroken horses. Supplementing the catalogue are two stallion shares and a single stallion, adding further depth to an already diverse offering. With the Inglis Breeding Stock Sales Series approaching, a number of breeders have opted to bring quality stock to market early, and that decision is reflected in several standout inclusions. Among them is the Stakes-placed American mare April Vintage, presented as a compelling three-in-one opportunity, offered with a Justify filly at foot and carrying a service to dual Group 1 winner Southport Tycoon. Cool Passion, herself a three-time Group 3 winner and Group 1 placed, adds further appeal as the dam of last season's Stakes-winning juvenile Prestige Forever, while Mahamaya, the dam of Group 1 winner Antino, is offered with a Dundeel filly at foot. Interest is also expected to centre on the available stallion shares, with Jacquinot continuing to build momentum through his first crop results, sitting just behind Anamoe on aggregate at the yearling sales, while Southport Tycoon's profile as a dual Group 1-winning son of Written Tycoon has drawn comparisons with leading young sire Ole Kirk. Beyond the headline lots, the catalogue is rich with well-related mares and proven producers. Always In Moment, a half-sister to two Group 3 winners, is offered in foal to Switzerland, while Danny's Sparkle, closely related to multiple Group 1 winner Behemoth, carries a service to Southport Tycoon. Glenbawn Dame, already the dam of Group 3 performer Dame Commander, is in foal to St Mark's Basilica, and Kissy for Leslie, a half-sister to Group 1 winner I Am A Star, is offered in foal to Super Seth. Other notable entries include Solar Girl, related to champion Sunlight, and Stresa, a Stakes-producing half-sister to Golden Slipper winner Capitalist. A wide range of yearlings and weanlings by leading and emerging sires further enhances the offering, with progeny by Alabama Express, Farnan, Home Affairs, Justify, Too Darn Hot and Wootton Bassett among those catalogued. Vendor support remains a cornerstone of the sale, with Segenhoe Stud leading the way with 13 entries, while a host of major industry participants including Yulong, Widden, Lindsay Park and Ciaron Maher's operation have also contributed. Bidding activity is set to intensify as the sale moves toward its conclusion, with the final countdown commencing from 10am on Wednesday.

  • High Class Reductions Augment MM National Sale

    Weekend, 13th April 2026
    A pair of unreserved reduction sales has added further intrigue to next month's Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale, with buyers set to be presented with a diverse and high-quality offering shaped by evolving breeding strategies and changing industry dynamics. Among the headline drafts is a 22-lot consignment from Victorian operation Hesket Thoroughbreds, to be presented through Newington Farm's Premium Consignment. The reduction reflects a deliberate shift in direction, with the farm choosing to streamline its broodmare band while placing increased emphasis on its emerging stallion General Beau. David Moodie outlined the thinking behind the move, explaining that the operation is backing its belief in the young sire's trajectory. "We're incredibly enthusiastic about the future of General Beau and what he's producing," he said. "The quality we're seeing from our young sire has given us real confidence in him, so we've made the decision to retain his foals and pregnancies, while reducing our broader Hesket broodmare band accordingly." The decision also signals a return to more traditional breeding principles. "This unreserved reduction is really about returning to our roots – going back to how we were breeding 30 years ago, focused on breeding to race," Moodie said, adding that the aim is to simplify the operation and build around a more sustainable model. Newington Farm principal Julian Blaxland described the opportunity to present the draft as both significant and unique. "It is an honour to represent a racing and breeding operation synonymous with Group One success under our Premium Consignment," he said. "It's a unique opportunity for owners and breeders to buy into some of Australia's fastest and most influential families." He added that the quality of the offering made it the strongest the farm had taken to the Gold Coast, headlined by mares such as Viviane, in foal to Anamoe, Sword Of Legacy and Nodachi, along with Kaiken, who is carrying to Castelvecchio. The broader Premium Consignment is further bolstered by a deep group of fillies and mares, including Group 2 winner Storyville and Group 3 winner Roll On High, alongside well-related prospects such as Klum and Diligente. New South Wales-based Bell View Park Stud will also present an unreserved reduction draft comprising 10 lots, driven by the impending sale of the property for redevelopment. Adam Mackrell indicated the move marked a recalibration rather than a withdrawal from the industry. "We still plan to be very active in the industry, but this marks a shift in focus," he said, noting a transition toward racing and trading stock rather than maintaining a broodmare band. Leading their offering is Prairie Flower, a Listed winner and eight-time victor who has earned more than $620,000, supported by a mix of race fillies and commercial broodmares by sires including Exceed and Excel, Justify and The Autumn Sun.
