Bassett Hound – TBWA Winner of the Week

Bassett Hound (Wootton Bassett) is bred to win a classic but is just as adept as a sprinter winning his first two outings this prep over 1100m at Ascot and 1000m at Belmont. The Amelia Park homebred settled at the back of the field behind Define Beautiful (Ducimus) in the Janet Amaglio Memorial (1000m) on Saturday before bullocking through a gap to defeat Let's Talk (I'm All The Talk) and Overdrive (Playing God)....

Gingerbread Man momentum buffeted at Bunbury

Gingerbread Man was represented by the winners of six races in the first half of May and it could have mounted to a lot more this month but for the Bunbury meeting being abandoned on Sunday. The Yarradale Stud resident had six acceptances primed for Bunbury prior to the south-west being buffeted by extreme weather conditions. Gingerbread Man’s Hong Kong expat Perfectday completed his first half-dozen at Sha Tin on May 17 before…...

Russian returns to form at Belmont

Russian To The Bar had been in the doldrums since being rated one of Perth’s most promising prospects as an autumn 3yo after winning the LR Challenge Stakes (1500m) and LR Lex Piper Stakes (1600m). The Luke Fernie-trained 5yo had not saluted at Ascot since December 2024 and was friendless easing from $31 to $41 for the Solutions Matchmaking Hcp (1400m) on Saturday. ...

Western Empires combine in Hyperion Stakes

Western Empire (NZ) has gone back to back in the G3 Hyperion Stakes (1600m) and for good measure he also figured in feature doubles for Peters Investments and Williams Racing. Western Empire (8g Iffraaj - Western Jewel by Jeune) went out a short-priced favourite for a running double on Saturday and he got there by a half-head after getting the better of Hoba West (Epaulette) on a Soft 6 at Belmont....

Amelia Park filly a class above at Caulfield

Amelia Park bred filly Farmelia was a class above older maidens on debut for trainer Mitch Freedman in the Sportsbet Plate (1000m) at Caulfield on Wednesday. Farmelia (2f Farnan - Amelia's La Bout by Hinchinbrook) settled in the back-half of the field for Dean Yendall before asserting her superiority in the straight.

Long Service Leaf – TBWA Winner of the Week

Long Service Leaf (yellow cap) tapped the ability to accelerate out of trouble to his advantage in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Reunion Hcp (1000m) at Belmont on Wednesday. The lightly-raced 3yo sprinter started an odds-on favourite first-up since an initial spring campaign that generated two wins from as many starts at the same track over the same minimum trip. Long Service Leaf (Long Leaf) travelled under a hold until coming off the home turn when Chris Parnham angled him towards the inside rail only to be held up for clear running between Gold Vancouver (Vancouver) and stablemate Magnachine (Lean Mean Machine)....
