Nine Group Ones and amassing over AUD $20 million. It’s insane to think that the great Nature Strip was passed in for $90,000 at sale in 2016. He has this week been named the World’s Champion Sprinter for the second year running in what has become a common occurrence for the Chris Waller trained star. The 8YO gelded son of Nicconi and Strikeline won the richest turf race in the world, The ...
Alcohol Free, sold for 5.4 million gns on Tattersalls earlier this week, is set to race on in Australia where the four-time Group One winner will join the training partnership of Sydney legend Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott. The 4YO daughter of No Nay Never, who raced in Europe for owner Jeff Smith and trainer Andrew Balding, was the star attraction as she entered a sales ring that was standing ...
Numerous big-race winners have raced in the distinctive colours of Waikato Stud and countless more have been bred by the world-famous nursery, but I Wish I Win has earned a unique place on their honour roll by winning a race worth A$10 million. The four-year-old son of iconic Waikato Stud sire Savabeel produced a blockbuster performance in Saturday’s XXXX Golden Eagle (1500m) at Rosehill, ...
The Joe Pride-trained Private Eye continued his rise up the ranks of Australia's best sprinters when putting a talented field to the sword in the $3,000,000 Nature Strip Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on Saturday. Fresh off his second in The Everest, the 5yo son of Al Maher exploded down the centre of the track under Brenton Avdulla, defeating Mazu (Maurice) by one and a quarter lengths with a ...
Trainer Peter Moody has a healthy opinion of each of his three runners in Saturday’s $10m XXXX Golden Eagle (1500m) at Rosehill Gardens but it would appear it’s Chain Of Lightning that is capturing his imagination. Jamie Kah comes to Sydney to partner the mare and, while he has beaten Toorak Handicap favourite I Wish I Win as well as Group 1 placed Lightsaber in the race, Moody can’t help but ...
Joe Pride has never shied away from sending star sprinter Eduardo into a battle with the world’s best sprinter but he says Nature Strip’s absence from the race named in his honour at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday is huge for his chances. The Warwick Farm trainer has always said he’d love to take Nature Strip on at Rosehill but with him sitting out the $3 million Nature Strip Stakes (1300m) it ...
Queensland Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m) winner Gypsy Goddess (Tarzino) will have just one run this spring as she tackles Saturday's the $10 million Golden Eagle at Rosehill first-up, something which has always been the plan for trainer David Vandyke. “She had a very long, arduous time as a three-year-old and we just wanted to give her a nice, little preparation and the one run seemed ideal,” Vandyke told ...
Star European rider Frankie Dettori was confirmed on Tuesday morning for the $10 million Golden Eagle at Rosehill Gardens. He will partner the Chris Waller-trained import Welwal (GB) (Shalaa ). “It’s a huge honour to be training Welwal for Al Shaqab Racing and we are delighted to have secured Frankie Dettori to ride him,” Waller said via a statement. “We feel Welwal has flown under the radar ...
The 4-year-old Maurice gelding Mazu was a gallant third in The TAB Everest this month, and co-trainer Peter Snowden has confirmed the horse will relish the 1300 metres of this Saturday’s $3 million Nature Strip S. at Rosehill. “The last 200 metres of his races are getting to be the best part of him,” Snowden said. “We’re going to back his ability to front up again and put in a run like he did ...
The barrier draw for this Saturday’s $10 million Golden Eagle (1500 metres) at Rosehill Gardens took place on Tuesday evening, with the fourth emergency Kiss Sum (Shamus Award) drawing the rail. Should he not get a berth, the Peter Moody-trained Chain Of Lightning (Fighting Sun), the choice mount of Jamie Kah, will jump from barrier one in the 20-horse field. Market fancy Light Infantry (Fr) ...
Star international jockey Jamie Spencer believes he's on the best horse in Light Infantry and just hopes for a smooth race to win the $10m Golden Eagle (1500m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. Spencer rode Light Infantry in a fast gallop at Canterbury on Tuesday morning and said the English raider is fit and well for Saturday's rich Rosehill race. Light Infantry, who is in the care of trainers ...
Lost And Running's Everest misfortune might result in a monstrous payday in the $3m Nature Strip Stakes (1300m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. Trainer John O'Shea had to withdraw Lost And Running from The Everest on race morning when the six-year-old gelding had a skin irritation on a fetlock joint. It was a cruel blow for Lost And Running's connections as the sprinter was in top form with a ...
