  • Lazzura Overcomes Adversity in Gr1 Coolmore

    Weekend, 16th March 2026
    A breakthrough at the elite level finally arrived on Saturday at Rosehill when the admirable mare Lazzura delivered a performance worthy of her long-standing reputation, capturing the $1 million Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) with a determined finishing surge. Already a four-time stakes winner and a mare who had accumulated more than $1 million in prizemoney prior to the race, the daughter of Snitzel justified strong support in betting at $5. After settling well off the pace and travelling wide with cover for much of the journey, she unleashed a sustained run down the straight to overpower Arctic Glamour ($13) and Vivy Air ($26), sealing a deserved victory that had narrowly eluded her in earlier attempts at the highest level. Connections were delighted to see the consistent performer finally secure a Group One triumph, with trainer Chris Waller acknowledging the mare's persistence and resilience in top company. "Well deserved, that's for sure," Waller said. "She's been running around some very good horses without a lot of luck going her way." He added that the team had learned from her first-up effort this preparation. "I think we just had her a bit underdone first-up and we rode her perhaps a pair too close. Today we didn't panic from the draw, we just went back and got cover three-wide." Carrying a substantial weight against a quality field made the performance even more impressive. Waller noted that the mare had endured her share of tough assignments in major races. "She carried a big weight today, and she hasn't had a lot go her way in Group 1s bouncing against some pretty handy horses throughout her career." For a moment the closing stages appeared uncertain, but the mare refused to yield. "She got there so easily, I thought the last two hundred metres was going to be a long two hundred, to her determination she stuck it out really well." Pre-race tactics were carefully discussed between the stable and rider James McDonald, who executed the plan perfectly. "James (McDonald) said pre-race, and we all agreed, just ride her conservative today. She seems to let go a lot better when you hold her up and let her go." Looking ahead, Waller indicated further elite targets could await. "She will probably go to the Queen Of The Turf or the Doncaster. I'll speak to the Suraces (owners) and see what they say." He also expressed confidence the mare could add further Group 1 victories. "I've got a philosophy that horses don't just win one Group 1. If they're good enough to win one, they normally win two or three." McDonald was equally full of praise for the mare's fighting qualities after guiding her to victory. "She tries," the jockey said. "It wasn't me, it was her just really biting down on the mouthguard and having a really decent crack." He admitted the final stages were demanding but admired her will to prevail. "I thought she was all out with 100 metres to go, but just that will to find the line it's something you just can't teach them, you can't train in them." By the former Arrowfield Stud champion sire Snitzel, Lazzura was purchased for $500,000 at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale by B2B Thoroughbreds from Arrowfield's draft. She is one of three winners from as many runners for the Japanese-bred Heart's Cry mare Laguna Azzurra, a winner at 1800m who is a half-sister to multiple Group 3 winner Seewind and stakes performer Seidig Meer. Their dam, Silky Lagoon by Brian's Time, was herself a triple stakes winner.

  • Vino Novello Throws Down Tassie Staying Gauntlet

    Weekend, 16th March 2026
    A staying prospect with growing promise enhanced his reputation at Launceston on Friday night when Vino Novello captured the $50,000 Dynamic Finance Brokers Tasmania – Tasmanian St Leger (2400m), suggesting he could become a significant player among the state's emerging middle-distance and staying ranks. Still lightly raced, the four-year-old was making just his tenth career appearance but showed the composure and stamina expected of a progressive stayer. Ridden by Erica Byrne Burke, he enjoyed a smooth run throughout the contest, settling one-out and one-back before being angled into the race approaching the 600m. From there the son of Vino Rosso gradually built his momentum and moved to the front, but the contest was far from straightforward as he was immediately challenged by fellow $4.20 equal favourite Distrustful Award, last year's Launceston Cup winner. The pair engaged in a sustained duel in the closing stages, eventually drawing well clear of the remainder of the field. When the pressure came late, however, Vino Novello responded strongly to hold off his rival and score decisively, with the pair putting a sizeable margin on Miles 'N' Miles, who finished third at $12. Trainer John Blacker believes the victory confirmed the gelding's credentials as a genuine staying prospect. "We think he's a real stayer of the future down here in Tasmania, and when he went past the post with a lap to go, I thought gee, he's in a good position here," Blacker said. Purchased for a meagre $26,000 at the 2023 Magic Millions Tasmanian Yearling Sale, the gelding did not appear at the races until August this season, but his rise has been swift. The St Leger success was the fifth win of his career from a limited number of outings and demonstrated his versatility across a wide range of distances, having now won races from 1350m through to the 2400m classic trip. There is also a notable family link to the race. Vino Novello's dam, Royal Miswaki, claimed the same event in 2012, adding another layer of significance to Friday night's performance. Blacker believes there may be even more improvement to come as the horse continues to strengthen and develop, and he is keeping an open mind about future plans. "This horse is probably a bit sharper than those two that went away (Zulu Angel and Wineglass Bay), so a trip interstate may make him mature a lot more, so we'll go from there," he said, indicating that opportunities beyond Tasmania could be explored as the campaign unfolds. For Byrne Burke, the St Leger victory capped another rewarding moment in what had already been a highly successful summer for her. The rider partnered Hobart Cup winner Blonde Star earlier in the season and has also enjoyed notable success aboard Blacker's talented juvenile Aristopolos. The evening proved particularly fruitful for Byrne Burke, who earlier completed a race-to-race double when steering Cherokee Dancer to victory in the Open Handicap (1100m) for trainer Adam Trinder.

  • Warwoven Living by The Sword Ahead of Slipper

    Weekend, 16th March 2026
    According to racingnews.co.nz, early evidence from the first crop of Cambridge Stud stallion Sword Of State has already delivered a serious contender for Australia's richest juvenile race after Warwoven stamped his credentials with victory in Saturday's Gr3 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill to nail a Golden Slipper start. The performance secured the colt a place in next week's Slipper (1200m) and confirmed the promise he had hinted at earlier in the season. Prepared by expat New Zealand trainer Bjorn Baker, Warwoven had quickly marked himself as a horse of real ability when winning his first two starts in December and January. Those victories elevated him to favouritism for the Magic Millions 2YO Classic on the Gold Coast before a veterinary issue forced his withdrawal on the morning of the race. The interruption left Baker scrambling to secure enough prizemoney to guarantee a Slipper start, and when the colt resumed with a fourth placing in the Gr2 Skyline Stakes on February 28 his earnings still left him outside the field. That situation meant another run was unavoidable, with the Pago Pago offering a final opportunity to force his way into the race. A top-three finish would likely have been enough, but Warwoven left little doubt about his credentials. Rachel King positioned the colt comfortably in second behind the leader Star Of Jamaica before easing alongside that rival approaching the turn. When asked to quicken early in the straight he responded immediately, drawing clear of Star Of Jamaica before holding off the late challenges of Outspan and Central Europe to win by a length. The result lifted Warwoven's record to three wins from four starts and earnings of $297,750, while guaranteeing him a place in the rich 2YO Group 1 sprint. King felt the colt's performance confirmed he belonged among the elite juveniles of the season. "He's qualified now, and so he should be," she said. "We would have been devastated if he wasn't there, because as he's proven today he deserves his spot." King suggested the colt still has improvement to come after his interrupted preparation. She added that his relaxed nature could prove a major asset going forward. Baker now heads toward the Slipper with two strong contenders after Paradoxium claimed the Gr2 Todman Stakes at his previous start. "We're not counting our chickens, but it's exciting to have two in the Slipper," he said. "It was great to see him do that, he's a promising horse." Warwoven is the first foal of Makfi mare Needle And Thread, winner of the Gr2 Royal Stakes and a Group 2 placegetter in both the Sir Tristram Fillies' Classic and Eight Carat Classic. He was purchased by Baker's agent Jim Clarke for $380,000 at the Gold Coast Yearling Sale from breeder Kia Ora Stud.

  • Breach of Care Ruling a Blow for UK Jockey Club

    Weekend, 16th March 2026
    A High Court ruling has placed the Jockey Club under pressure after the organisation was ordered to pay more than £990,000 in damages and lost earnings to former employee Matthew Foxton-Duffy, with the court finding it had breached its duty of care. The judgment followed six days of evidence and legal argument in the King's Bench division of the High Court last November and December. Foxton-Duffy argued that a substantial increase in workload following an internal restructure caused extreme psychological stress. At the time he was marketing manager for the Jockey Club's south-west region, which included Cheltenham, before the organisation merged the role with responsibilities for Aintree, Haydock and Carlisle as part of a newly formed Western region. Evidence presented to the court showed that staffing levels across marketing roles in the west were reduced from 21 to seven, while other functions were redirected to a centralised team. Foxton-Duffy's legal team argued the expanded workload created mounting pressure through 2021. Former regional head of racing Simon Claisse told the court the job had always carried considerable demands. "In terms of the scale of the job, it doesn't really get much more high-pressured," he said. Claisse added that earlier in the role Foxton-Duffy had coped well with those expectations. "My observations of the claimant in that environment, was that he handled the stress and the pressure of the role really well and he did a good job." However, witnesses described how the strain appeared to intensify after the restructure. Claisse said expectations placed on the reduced team were unrealistic given the available resources. "My observations were that the expectations on what the marketing team in particular were asked to achieve were entirely unrealistic given the lack of resources available to them." Operations manager Rebecca Elvin also recalled a noticeable change in Foxton-Duffy during 2021. "I recalled probably from mid-2021 onwards, that the claimant became much more withdrawn," she said, adding that he often appeared visibly stressed and emotionally affected by the demands of the role. The court heard that the pressure culminated in a disturbing incident in November 2021 when Foxton-Duffy deliberately drove his car toward a line of trees before regaining control of the vehicle at the last moment. Medical experts for both sides agreed he had developed complex PTSD along with a moderate depressive episode. In a 56-page judgment, Judge Elizabeth O'Neill rejected the Jockey Club's defence that it could not reasonably have known about the risk to his health. She concluded Foxton-Duffy had been "tipped over the edge" after repeated attempts to raise welfare concerns with his employer. The judge found the organisation's failure to conduct a risk or occupational health assessment during the latter half of 2021 had "materially contributed" to his injury. Foxton-Duffy was awarded £72,500 in general damages, £211,920.87 plus interest for past loss of earnings and £684,796 for future losses. Evidence before the court indicated he continues to suffer psychological harm, with medical experts placing the risk of relapse between 20 and 40 per cent. There will be no appeal.

  • Ronaldo Shoots and Scores at Wanganui

    Weekend, 16th March 2026
    A rise through the juvenile ranks continued at Wanganui on Saturday when Ronaldo maintained his unbeaten record with a commanding win in the Palamountains Nutrition 2YO (1200m), further strengthening the view that Robbie Patterson has a colt of genuine quality on his hands. According to NZ Racing Desk, the son of Ribchester had impressed on debut at New Plymouth last month and, sent out a $1.60 favourite for his second appearance, did nothing to dent that opinion as he put his rivals away with authority. Attention now turns to the Gr1 Courtesy Ford Manawatu Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m) at Trentham in a fortnight, where the promising youngster is expected to face his sternest test yet. The race itself was not without complication. Pinafore, trained by Lisa Latta and the second elect at $6.20, proved difficult to load and delayed the start by several minutes. Even so, Ronaldo handled the interruption with maturity, jumping cleanly before being sent forward by Craig Grylls to take control. He was never allowed to dictate terms entirely, with Truly Divine applying pressure on his outside throughout and at one stage edging half a length in front, but Ronaldo never lost his composure. Once balanced in the straight, he found strongly to draw clear and score by 2-1/4 lengths over Pinafore, with Truly Divine a half head away in third. Grylls, who skipped his home meeting at Matamata to ride the colt, was glowing in his post-race assessment. "I have got a lot of time for this horse," he said. "He was really good again today, he jumped well and put himself there. He just got pestered the whole race, we were going along quite nice and the one outside us was being really annoying, but it didn't worry him, he was composed, he balanced up and kicked really good. He is a proper horse I think." Patterson was equally taken by the effort, particularly the colt's professionalism under pressure. "He was pressured the whole way," he said. "He is just a cool horse, he even buttoned off with the horse outside him racing him and put half a length on him. I see he had the cheek to prick his ears over the line. They are good signs." The trainer believes there is plenty more to come as the gelding strengthens and stretches out in distance. "He will get a mile now I would say. He looks like a three-year-old now, he is exciting." Bred and raced by Ron and Shirley Miller, Ronaldo is out of the seven-win mare Miss Daisy, a half-sister to stakes performer Real Specialist. His profile has risen sharply with each run and that has been reflected in the market for the Manawatu Sires' Produce Stakes, where he has tightened from $41 into a $4.50 second favourite behind Te Akau youngster Seize The Day.

  • Racing NSW Set to Challenge Supreme Court Ruling

    Weekend, 16th March 2026
    Fresh legal action is looming in the battle between Racing NSW and the Australian Turf Club, with the regulator confirming it will appeal this week's NSW Supreme Court decision that invalidated its attempt to place the ATC into administration. The ruling, handed down by Justice Francois Kunc on Wednesday, found Racing NSW did not have the power to appoint Morgan Kelly as administrator. However, Racing NSW believes aspects of the judgment leave sufficient room to challenge the finding and, after a board meeting on Thursday, announced on Friday that it would proceed with an appeal. A Racing NSW spokesperson said the decision was driven by the wider implications the judgment could have for the sport across the state. "The Racing NSW Board has formed the view that it needs to appeal Wednesday's decision of the NSW Supreme Court," the spokesperson said. "This is due to the precarious position it places Racing NSW in funding race clubs across the State and supporting the 50,000 participants who rely on the NSW Thoroughbred Racing Industry for their livelihoods." Central to Racing NSW's concern is the court's interpretation of the scope of its authority. The regulator argues that if its powers were confined narrowly to matters solely involving the "racing of galloping horses", its ability to fund infrastructure, facilities and operational support at clubs across New South Wales could be materially weakened. "If that narrow interpretation were to stand, it could significantly restrict Racing NSW's ability to fund important club activities such as infrastructure, facilities and operational support that underpin racing across NSW," the spokesperson said. Racing NSW also maintained that broader certainty was needed for the health of the state's racing network, pointing to the financial condition of clubs outside the ATC and the level of support being distributed through the industry. "Without certainty on this issue, Racing NSW's ability to continue supporting the State's 120 race clubs and the communities they serve could be put at risk," the spokesperson said. "NSW race clubs, with the exception of the ATC, are in the best financial position that they have ever been, with their net current assets and cash doubling over the past decade." The appeal means the dispute will continue through the autumn carnival and beyond, extending a conflict that has already exposed a deep divide between regulator and club. Following Wednesday's judgment, ATC chairman Tim Hale described the ruling as vindication of the club's long-held position on its relationship with Racing NSW and the wider race club structure. Racing NSW, however, remains adamant that the substantive concerns which prompted its intervention have not gone away. "Racing NSW moved to appoint an administrator to the ATC due to serious concerns about financial management and corporate governance at the club," the spokesperson said. "Those concerns remain. Nothing in the judgment addressed or dismissed them. The case was about how the legislation was interpreted, not the merits of Racing NSW's decision."

  • New Record Established for Hong Kong Stars

    Weekend, 16th March 2026
    A historic moment for Hong Kong racing has unfolded with two of the jurisdiction's modern stars occupying the top positions in the latest edition of the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings. Leading the global standings is the David Hayes-trained Ka Ying Rising, while Romantic Warrior, prepared by Danny Shum Chap-shing, sits close behind, giving Hong Kong a rare one-two on the international list. Ka Ying Rising remains the highest-rated horse ever produced in Hong Kong, retaining a mark of 128 following a remarkable sequence of elite performances. Romantic Warrior follows on 124, while Japanese dirt star Forever Young, trained by Yoshito Yahagi, holds third place with a rating of 123. The rankings measure performances in top-level races over a defined qualifying window, in this case between January 1 and March 8, with ratings influenced by factors including strength of opposition and prize-money levels. Much of the spotlight has centred on Ka Ying Rising after his extraordinary recent achievements at Sha Tin. The son of Shamexpress continued his extraordinary run in February when he captured the Group One Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup, extending his winning streak to 19 and surpassing a long-standing Hong Kong benchmark previously held by the legendary Silent Witness. That record of 18 straight victories had stood for 21 years before the five-year-old pushed beyond it in front of a packed grandstand. The performance was memorable not only for the milestone but also for the manner of victory. Ka Ying Rising shattered the Sha Tin track record in the process, trimming six-tenths of a second off the previous mark to clock one minute and 19.36 seconds. The win represented his eighth Group One triumph and his sixth success of the current season, further cementing his status as one of the most dominant sprinters in the modern era. Hong Kong's strength in depth was also evident further down the rankings. Lucky Sweynesse, trained by Manfred Man Ka-leung, sits joint 11th on the list, while John Size's Helios Express shares 15th position alongside internationally recognised performers such as Rebel's Romance and Australia's Autumn Glow. Their respective ratings of 118 and 117 underline the depth of quality currently emerging from the jurisdiction. The current standings mark a shift from earlier in the year when the French-trained Calandagan held the top position with a rating of 130. Horses drop from the list if they fail to race during the designated qualifying period, allowing new performances to reshape the order.

  • Zousain Enhances Growing Appeal at MM March Sale

    Weekend, 16th March 2026
    A colt by Widden Stud's exciting Zoustar sire-son Zousain – he had obvious presence and plenty of admirers – emerged as the headline act of the 2026 Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale, topping the final session at $250,000 and closing the two-day auction on a strong note. Offered through the Robyn Wise draft, the colt was secured by Gold Coast trainer Adam Campton in partnership with Stable 23 after spirited bidding for the youngster, who is the third foal of an unraced Smart Missile half-sister to last season's multiple stakes-winning juvenile Shining Smile. Campton said the colt had stood out every time he was paraded. "I knew we had to be pretty strong," he said. "Thankfully a great client across in Hong Kong was able to support us and we got the job done." He admitted the buying stretch had been tested, adding: "I'm not sure how much was left in the juice - we had to squeeze a bit out." The trainer was drawn not only to the colt's page but also to his attitude and movement. "Every time we got him out he had swagger about him. He had a beautiful walk. I love the Zousains - I've got a number of them and a heap have gone to Hong Kong already." Campton also paid tribute to the vendor. "He just knows he's a good horse. A nice horse from a good farm with Robyn Wise. She knows her horses from top to bottom and you want to buy good horses off good people." For Campton, the result capped another productive sale. "I love buying from Magic Millions. Barry and his team do a terrific job. They've been very supportive of me since I came back from Hong Kong and started training," he said. "It's been a great sale and I've got some nice stock coming through. It's up to me now and the team to get them to win races or win trials, wherever they are going to go. The future is pretty bright." Across the two days, almost $11 million changed hands, with 296 yearlings sold for a gross of $10,935,500. The average climbed to $36,944 and the clearance rate settled at 67 per cent. Magic Millions managing director Barry Bowditch described the market as selective but healthy for the right horses. "Again today was a selective market," he said. "There were plenty of traders here to buy and when a good colt walked in and ticked the boxes there was great demand." Bowditch said the broader sale figures compared favourably with last year despite mixed trading conditions. "All in all, while being selective, we've sold significantly more horses than last year with a higher average and a larger gross." He noted external pressures had played a part in shaping the buying bench, particularly among regional Queenslanders dealing with flood impacts and rising fuel costs, but added there was still value to be found throughout the catalogue for those prepared to negotiate on passed-in lots. With the Gold Coast sale now complete, attention turns quickly to South Australia, where the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale will be held at Morphettville next Thursday and Friday.

  • 41 Opportunities on Latest Magic Millions Digital

    Weekend, 16th March 2026
    A diverse catalogue of racing and breeding prospects has gone live with bidding now open for the Magic Millions Digital Sale, which runs from March 13 to March 18 and closes next Wednesday. The latest online auction features 41 lots, with more than half to be offered unreserved, giving buyers a broad range of opportunities across proven racemares, young stock, shares and developing prospects. The vendor list reflects that variety, with consignors including Arrowfield Training Centre, Balcrest Stud, Beer Carpenter Racing, Feek Racing, Flying Start Syndications, Glen Gallic Stud, Hickmott Bloodstock, Munce Racing, Mystery Downs, Peters Investments, Twin Hills Stud and Yarraman Park Stud. As has become the norm with these digital sales, the catalogue blends commercial appeal with genuine residual upside. Among the more eye-catching entries is Riapinka, a half-sister to recent Magic Millions 3YO Guineas winner Torque To Be Sure. Catalogued as Lot 28, she comes from a recognised female family and is offered in foal to former top-class performer Mo'unga, adding further appeal for breeders looking for an immediate return as well as longer-term pedigree value. Arrowfield Training Centre has assembled a trio of well-related young horses, including two unreserved fillies that have already been broken in or trialled. Symbolise, Lot 11, is a granddaughter of Miss Finland, while Wedding Vow, Lot 12, is a daughter of Group 3 winner I Am Serious. Both profiles suggest there is room for racetrack upside, while still retaining broodmare potential down the line. Yarraman Park's draft includes Decoy, a three-year-old daughter of I Am Invincible who has raced only twice, both times at provincial level in New South Wales. As Lot 15, she presents as a filly with scope to improve on the track while also carrying clear broodmare appeal thanks to her pedigree and sire strength. Another notable offering is Lasqueti Boom, a half-sister to Lasqueti Spirit. Offered unreserved as Lot 26, she won during her own career and was placed at metropolitan level in Sydney, giving her a useful combination of race performance and pedigree page. Sassari is also amongst the catalogue's standout breeding prospects. Listed as Lot 30, the New Zealand-bred mare is in foal to Toronado, a stallion with fewer than 70 pregnancies available in the market this year, and she also sells with a Pride Of Dubai colt foal at foot. There is also a five per cent share available in Michael Hickmott's highly rated Cash, who was placed in last Saturday's Magic Millions SA 3&4YO Classic and already boasts winning form in Melbourne. Bidding is underway and will begin closing from 12pm Queensland time on Wednesday, March 18.
