Pride Of Jenni (Pride Of Dubai) will never be for sale and might keep racing as a nine-year-old next spring, at the least.

But her owner Tony Ottobre will offer a choice trio of his “Jenni” stock as broodmares or racing propositions at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale, at Riverside on May 7.

Moving to streamline the extensive broodmare band at his Cape Schanck farm on the Mornington Peninsula, Ottobre’s draft will be headed by elite-winning broodmare Princess Jenni (High Chaparral), who’s in foal to Pride Of Dubai (Street Cry). The ten-year-old is Lot 99 of the 104 mares catalogued for the Thursday night glamour sale.

Ottobre will also offer in-training six-year-old Jennilala (Shalaa), who returned to form with an 0.02-length second in Ballarat’s Country Oaks (2000m) on April 3, and is set to contest this Saturday’s Mornington Cup (Listed, 2400m) before being prepared for the sale, as Lot 74.

What's On

And Cape Schanck’s threesome will kick off early with Lot 2 in Sassy Jenni (Shalaa), a four-year-old who was stakes-placed in a career restricted to six starts, and who’s also in foal to Ottobre’s old favourite – for obvious reasons – Coolmore’s Pride Of Dubai.

“We’ve accumulated 98 horses on our property, and that’s from your mares, to older geldings, right down to weanlings and yearlings,” Ottobre told ANZ News.

“We’ve poured a fair bit of money into it over the years. Now’s a good time to start looking at moving on some of our best horses, and getting some cash flow happening.

“We’ll be keeping probably the ones who’ve not necessarily failed as racehorses, but maybe never had a chance or slightly injured themselves, who I consider could be good broodmares, but we probably wouldn’t get much for them if we tried to sell them.

“And we’ll be selling these three who hopefully should prove pretty attractive.”

Princess Jenni ranks as probably the second best performed of Ottobre’s horses, who all carry the name of his daughter, who died of brain cancer in 2015 aged 31.

Trained by David Brideoake, Princess Jenni won six of her 26 starts headed by the 2019 Australasian Oaks (Gr 1, 2000m) at Morphettville, along with Moonee Valley’s Stocks Stakes (Gr 2, 1600m) and two Group 3s, earning slightly more than $1 million.

Ottobre is retaining her as yet unraced two-year-old King Snitz (Snitzel) and her weanling filly by Wootton Bassett (Iffraaj).

“We’ll keep them to race, and the filly will stay with us to continue the Princess Jenni line, while hopefully some other people will get enjoyment out of breeding with Princess Jenni,” said Ottobre, who reasoned the time was right economically to sell the mare now.

“When I sent her to Pride Of Dubai, my intentions were to keep the foal. I wanted another Pride Of Dubai like Pride Of Jenni. But now we’re selling, and someone else can have the benefit of having a foal by Pride Of Dubai out of Princess Jenni.

“And Princess Jenni, she’s a Group 1 winner, and whoever buys her has good upside coming up. Her Snitzel colt is a very nice horse and so’s the Wootton Bassett filly, so we’ve started to produce a really good family.”

Princess Jenni is out of the five-time winning New Zealand mare Glitzabeel (Zabeel), who’s second dam was Precious Glitter (Danehill), a dual stakes winner at two.

Jennilala goes to the Chairman’s Sale as a dual stakes winner. She took Adelaide’s Auraria Stakes (Gr 3, 1800m) for Ciaron Maher in 2023 before a top-tier third in the Australasian Oaks, and won the 2025 VRC Matron Stakes (Gr 3, 1600m) in her first start for current trainer Gavin Bedggood.

Her three black type placings among 29 starts also include a second in the Lady’s Day Vase (Gr 3, 1600m) at Caulfield last October, before her desperately close last-start second in Ballarat’s Country Oaks behind triple stakes winner Too Darn Discreet (Too Darn Hot).

“She’s still in good form, and I think she’ll be a good chance in the Mornington Cup,” Ottobre said of Jennilala, who’s out of a half-sister to the stakes-winning and stakes-producing Members Joy (Hussonet).

“She’s a very strong, athletic and competitive mare who’s been racing at Group level for quite some time. Whoever buys her can decide to continue racing or retire her to the broodmare barn.

“She’s been very well looked after throughout her career since being purchased as a yearling, and she carries the Arrowfield brand.”

Sassy Jenni, another filly by Woodside Park’s Shalaa (Invincible Spirit), is out of the stakes-placed mare Sheer Style (Snitzel). Sassy Jenni won on debut at Moonee Valley in March, 2024, before running third to smart pair Growing Empire (Zoustar) and Bittercreek (Snitzel) at the same track in the St Albans Stakes (Listed, 1200m).

After just four more starts she was retired due to windgalls, and put in-foal to Pride Of Dubai.

“She was a very quick horse and a beautiful type, out of a Snitzel mare. The Shalaa-Snitzel cross has produced a very fine horse in this one,” Ottobre said. “We decided not to keep going with her after she got windgalls, which was a bit of a shame because she had good ability.”

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said the Cape Schanck draft was a welcome, “high quality” addition to the Chairman’s catalogue.

“Princess Jenni was a very talented racemare, in an era of talented racemares,” Hutch said. “She was very, very capable, and has a pedigree to be a good broodmare, being a daughter of High Chaparral out of a Zabeel mare.

“And Jennilala, I like a lot as a prospect. She was a good looking yearling, a very talented race filly, and I think fillies with profiles like hers tend to do well in the commercial market place. I think there’ll be any number of breeders for whom her profile will make great appeal.

“Tony’s mares are going to be another appealing part of what is a most interesting catalogue.”

The Chairman’s sale will feature 67 stakes horses or stakes producers including triple Group 1 winner Provence (Savabeel), SAJC Goodwood (Gr 1, 1200m) queen Benedetta (Hellbent), millionaire mares Arabian Summer (Too Darn Hot) and Generosity (Divine Prophet) and Resiling Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) winning two-year-old Chayan (I Am Invincible).

Meanwhile, Ottobre says he has no current intention of retiring Pride Of Jenni.

He said the eight-year-old had gone for a “little break” at trainer Ciaron Maher’s Bong Bong property while connections decide her next steps, following Saturday’s fifth in Randwick’s Queen Of The Turf Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m).

That came after a heroic second to Light Infantry Man (Fast Company) in the Australian Cup (Gr 1, 2000m) which Ottobre said – after inspecting the photo finish in the stewards’ room – was decided by a matter of three millimetres.

Pride Of Jenni has won $12.03 million from 46 starts, for 12 wins and 14 minor placings.

And while the four-time Group 1 winner – and six time elite-level runner-up – turns nine in four months, Ottobre sees no reason to retire her given her current condition and attitude.

“If she’s performing like she’s performed this autumn, you’d be crazy not to race her,” he said.

“There’s plenty of time to breed. While she’s in this mood, the mood where she wants to race and she’s happy to race, then there’s no reason to retire her.

“Her longevity is due to the way we’ve looked after her. We don’t really overtax her. We know when we need to pull back a bit. Some mares go sour, and they don’t want to do it any more, but she hasn’t.”

Ottobre and his wife Lynn also have sentimental reasons for persevering.

“I’m in this for racing, and I’m in it for the Jenni name, for my daughter,” he said. “We’ve got lots of horses with Jenni in their name, but this one is the pride of Jenni – the special one.”

All Aged first-up test for Cup hero Half Yours

Half Yours (Credit: Racing Photos)

Melbourne Cup (Gr 1, 3200m) winner Half Yours (St Jean) is on track to resume in the All Aged Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) at Randwick on Saturday, with connections mapping an ambitious and somewhat unconventional return against elite weight-for-age opposition. The dual Group 1 winner has impressed since returning from a nearly two-month spell, winning a 1000-metre jump-out at Flemington on April 2, suggesting he has come back in strong order following his breakthrough spring campaign. His rise through the ranks last preparation was rapid, progressing from Benchmark company to claim the Naturalism Stakes (Gr 3, 2000m) before completing the Caulfield Cup (Gr 1, 2400m) and Melbourne Cup double. Calvin McEvoy said: “December 23rd he came back in, so he's just in the very early stages of the preparation, but he's having a light canter and looks terrific. We're very pleased with him. He had 7.5 weeks off and he looks a different horse. He's put a lovely cover on and softened up and there's plenty to work with.” The All Aged Stakes will provide an early test at the highest level over a distance short of Half Yours’ best. He is set to take on the likes of Jimmysstar (Per Incanto), Giga Kick (Scissor Kick), Fangirl (Sebring), Briasa (Smart Missile) and Angel Capital (Harry Angel) in the $1.5 million contest.

Pop Award targets Hareeba Stakes on home track

Shamus Award (Snitzel) mare Pop Award will return to stakes company this weekend when she lines up in the Hareeba Stakes (Listed, 1200m) at Mornington, with connections hoping a home-track advantage can aid her chances. The Lyn Tolson and Leonie Proctor-trained mare heads into the race of a last start win over 1100 metres at Flemington and will be chasing a second Listed success, having previously taken out the Regal Roller Stakes (Listed, 1200m), beating Arkansaw Kid (Harry Angel) soundly at Caulfield last August. "Mornington is her home track, so if we could draw a gate it'd be good," Lyn Tolson said. "From what we can read, it's going to be a bit stronger a Hareeba than we've had, but you can't keep them in cotton wool all the time at home in their box all the time, can you?" A six-time winner from 13 starts, Pop Award has shown a preference for softer conditions, with Tolson adding: "She does appreciate a bit of give in the track and she did a lot of racing last prep, when she wasn't going any good, on firmer going and she just likes the sting out. So, hopefully Mornington is not too hard, but she's an honest mare and she's trained on well from her last race." A strong performance could see her head to Adelaide, with the Proud Miss Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) identified as a potential next target.

Sir Delius set for Cox Plate tilt at Flemington

Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) hero Sir Delius (Frankel) is set to be aimed at the Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2000m) in the spring, with the weight-for-age feature to be run at Flemington. The gelding was ruled out of both the Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup (Gr 1, 3200m) last spring after Racing Victoria (RV) stewards stood him down on veterinary advice following scans that indicated a heightened risk of injury. Co-trainer Adrian Bott said the stable remained keen to target the Cox Plate, believing the conditions would suit. “Yeah, I think well and truly that’s the race he will be set for,” Bott told Racing.com. “The track there [at Flemington] will be suitable for him… I think a high-pressure 2000 metres is right in his sweet spot.” Tulloch Lodge will be required to provide a veterinary report to RV should they intend to run Sir Delius in Melbourne during the spring. While a Melbourne Cup return has not been ruled out, Bott indicated the six-year-old may be trained differently this preparation in a bid to keep him sharper at shorter distances. “We did wonder at various stages if we had made him too dour,” he said. “The key will be to see whether we can have him a little bit more effective earlier in the prep at those sharper races and targets.” A lead-in race such as the Turnbull Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) at Flemington could form part of his spring campaign, with the Champions Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) also a potential target following the Cox Plate.

Camilla’s Knickers set for Hawkesbury debut

Hawkesbury trainer Steve O’Halloran will unveil King’s Legacy (Redoute’s Choice) filly Camilla’s Knickers on home turf today, with the three-year-old to make her debut in the card’s Provincial Maiden Plate (1100m). Purchased for $55,000 from the 2024 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, the filly has been syndicated among a group that includes O’Halloran’s wife Stephanie, Fox Sports presenter Yvonne O’Keefe and stable client Kay Stevenson. “Everyone in the syndicate suggested a name and Camilla’s Knickers came out on top,” O’Halloran told Racing NSW. “She is a big filly and, typical of the breed, needed a bit of time, so we didn’t push her to race as a two-year-old.” The filly has had two trials this preparation, finishing third at Wyong before a second placing in a 1000-metre heat at Hawkesbury, and O’Halloran said she had continued to improve. “This will be a good starting point for her, and there’s still a bit of improvement to come,” he said. O’Halloran also nominated stablemate Mal Coupe (Xtravagant) for Saturday’s Hall Mark Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) at Randwick, with the six-time winner set to back up after finishing fourth in the Star Kingdom Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) at Rosehill last start.

Sydney Cup-winning pair reunite at Hawkesbury

Sydney Cup (Gr 1, 3200m)-winning trainer Kris Lees and jockey Jason Collett will combine again at Hawkesbury today, with Royal Botanic (Ole Kirk) set to make her debut in the Provincial Maiden Plate over 1100 metres. The pair combined to land last Saturday’s Sydney Cup with outsider Changingoftheguard (Galileo), while Lees also struck in the Provincial-Midway Championships Final (1400m) with Lord Of Biscay (Lope De Vega). Royal Botanic has had five trials ahead of her first start, including a win at Newcastle and a recent third placing at Scone. “Andrew Gibbons has been on her in her two most recent trials, and he’s been very happy with her,” Lees told Racing NSW. “She’s drawn a good gate at Hawkesbury, and I think she will run very well. The 1100 metres should suit her on debut and Jason will give her every chance.”

Another Wil targets Brisbane return after reset

Last year’s C F Orr Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) winner Another Wil (Street Boss) is on track for a return to racing, with a Brisbane winter campaign in focus for the Ciaron Maher-trained gelding. The six-year-old has not been seen since unplaced runs in the Memsie Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) and Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) early in the spring, but has impressed in a recent Cranbourne trial as he builds towards a comeback. Assistant trainer Jack Turnbull said Group 1 targets such as the Doomben 10,000 (Gr 1, 1200m) and Kingsford-Smith Cup (Gr 1, 1300m) were under consideration provided the gelding continues to progress. “He was very enthusiastic and trialled quite good… maybe too well for his first [trial], but he recovered well and pulled up awesome,” Turnbull told Racing.com. “The aim will be to go first-up in the Doomben 10,000 if he is right. The Stradbroke is a chance despite it being a handicap, and there is the Kingsford-Smith Cup as well.” Turnbull said Another Wil had been given a “full reset” following his spring campaign, with no underlying physical issues detected. “He had six months in the paddock… there was nothing wrong with him but he clearly didn’t come up and wasn’t giving his all,” he said. “He’s very healthy and we are extremely happy with him.”

Soulcombe back in work following tendon setbacks

Melbourne Cup runner-up Soulcombe (Frankel) is edging towards a return to racing, with the popular stayer back in light work at Flemington following a series of injury setbacks. The Chris Waller-trained gelding has not raced since his second placing in the 2023 Melbourne Cup, having suffered back-to-back tendon injuries that sidelined him for an extended period. Part-owner Ozzie Kheir said the import had made encouraging progress through the early stages of his latest rehabilitation. “He’s back with Chris Waller at Flemington and he’s been up to three-quarter pace so we’re all hopeful he can make his way back to the track,” Kheir told Racing.com. “We’re all realistic but he’s coming along well and could be ready to trial in about four to six weeks.” Soulcombe spent 18 months on the sidelines after his initial setback and suffered a further tendon issue following two trials in April last year. “All his owners have stayed in him as they all love him and it would be a great result just to get him back racing,” Kheir said.

Bourke eyes permanent Melbourne move after early success

Apprentice jockey Molly Bourke is keen to make her move to Victoria permanent after a strong start since relocating from New South Wales. The 23-year-old, formerly indentured to John Sergeant at Warwick Farm, transferred to Mick Kent at Cranbourne in early March in search of greater opportunities. Bourke rode her first Victorian race at Caulfield Heath on March 18 before recording her maiden local win aboard Rue De Royale (Per Incanto) at Caulfield on April 4. She added a second victory on Saturday when successful on Bring Forth (Turn Me Loose) for Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr. “It’s pretty much open-ended. If it all works out, it’s a permanent move, that’s what I would like to make it,” Bourke told Racing.com. “I’m coming towards the end of my time and where I can have the momentum is where I want to stay.” Second in last season’s Sydney apprentice title, Bourke said she has found the transition to Victorian racing an adjustment. “It is different, the racing…I’ve got to learn to adapt a bit more down here,” she said. “You get used to the riders around you and I was so used to knowing everyone back home. Here, the tempo is different and things can be a bit slower through the race.”

Baker juveniles impress at Warwick Farm trials

Unraced juveniles by leading sires Zoustar (Northern Meteor) and Too Darn Hot (Dubawi) made an impression at Warwick Farm trials on Monday, with both scoring for the Bjorn Baker stable. Zoustar filly Ti Amo, a $460,000 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale purchase, showed the benefit of experience at her third trial, leading throughout under Jason Collett to win her 798-metre heat by 2.8 lengths over Friendly Fire (Farnan) in the quickest time of the morning (0:46.44). The filly is the first foal out of a winning daughter of stakes winner Raid (Pins) and hails from the family of champion racemare Emancipation (Bletchingly). Meanwhile, Too Darn Hot gelding Pyra also produced an encouraging effort, settling back before working into the clear to score by 0.7 lengths under Rachel King. Passed in at Magic Millions Gold Coast, Pyra is bred on more of a staying pedigree, being the second foal out of Teofilo (Galileo) mare Mashrabiya from a family that includes Group 1 winners Dracula (Quest For Fame), Complacent (Authorized) and Miss Sentimental (Reliable Man). The other juvenile heat winner on the morning was The Puzzle (Lean Mean Machine).

Foal Ownership Declarations amnesty closes today

Racing Australia’s one-off amnesty on outstanding Foal Ownership Declarations (FODs) for the 2024 and 2025 foal crops closes at 5.30pm AEST today (Tuesday, April 14). The amnesty has provided breeders with a final window to resolve outstanding declarations and ensure affected horses remain eligible to race. Submissions received before the deadline will not be subject to embargo, regardless of appeal status. The initiative covers all late FODs for foals born in 2024 and 2025, including horses under appeal, those not appealed, and cases where appeals have been rejected. Breeders are urged to act immediately and review all mares that produced foals across both seasons, confirm mare returns and FODs have been lodged, and submit any outstanding documentation. Do not assume this has been completed, many cases have arisen due to unclear responsibility, so checking with partners and clients is critical. Thoroughbred Breeders Australia (TBA) has welcomed the move, noting most cases stem from administrative error rather than rule breaches.

Too Darn Hot colt Walkin In Memphis makes early impression

A promising juvenile by Too Darn Hot (Dubawi) has emerged for the Zame family, with Walkin In Memphis scoring at just his second start over 1300 metres at Otaki. The Andrew Forsman-trained colt showed good ability to defeat Royce (Staohanos) by 1.6 lengths, and Nanesse (Tarzino) a further 0.3 lengths away in third. The young colt sported the Zane family colors whose silks have also partnered high-class performers Jon Snow (Iffraaj) and Aegon (Sacred Falls). Forsman said: “It was nice to see him get the job done so early in his career. We have always thought a lot of him and we just wanted to give him two or three starts as a two-year-old before hopefully seeing the best of him at three.” He added: “He has a lot of similarities to a horse like Jon Snow… this guy is probably going to be sharper over shorter distances than Jon Snow. He has certainly got good ability.” A $130,000 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale purchase from Blue Gum Farm, Walkin In Memphis is out of Lonhro (Octagonal) mare Tennessee Gold and is from the family of Group-winning siblings Snitzerland (Snitzel) and Sooboog shapes as a colt with upside, with a potential tilt at the Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre Stakes (Listed, 1400m) before a likely spring focus.

Go Racing assembling strong Melbourne Cup contingent

Go Racing are looking toward the spring despite narrowly going down in the Sydney Cup (Gr 1, 3200m), with Soul Of Spain (Phoenix Of Spain) shaping as a leading contender for the Melbourne Cup (Gr 1, 3200m) after his close second at Randwick. The Irish import finished just 0.3 lengths off Changingoftheguard (Galileo), with his performance reinforcing confidence in a return for a Cups campaign under master Chris Waller. General manager Matt Allnutt said: “It was massive…he sprinted well and a couple of strides past the line and he was in front. It was a super run, we were really proud of him,” adding, “he is going to go out for a spell now and come back for a Caulfield and Melbourne Cup preparation, it is really exciting.” A €160,000 Arqana Breeze Up purchase, Soul Of Spain has already shown his staying credentials, having won the Newcastle Cup (Gr 3, 2300m) and placed at Group 1 level, and is one of several potential Cup runners for the syndicator. Allnutt noted: “Potentially we could have up to six horses nominated for the Melbourne Cup… you dare to dream in this game.” Among the contingent is the Chris Waller-trained Etna Rosso (Decorated Knight), also a Newcastle Cup winner and Brisbane Cup (Gr 2, 3200m) runner-up, while Queensland Derby (Gr 1, 2400m) winner Maison Louis (Super Seth), prepared by John O’Shea and Tom Charlton, also shapes as a key prospect following his three-year-old campaign. Additional depth comes through the Waller-trained Listed winner Tajanis (Australia), along with Lisa Latta’s New Zealand-based Group 3 winner Manzor Blue (Almanzor). European-based Omni Man (Invincible Spirit), trained by Joseph O’Brien, is also being targeted toward the Cups via a Royal Ascot campaign.

Little Avondale savours Idle Flyer result

Idle Flyer (Credit: Inglis)

Little Avondale Stud have taken added satisfaction from Idle Flyer’s (Dundeel) breakthrough elite-level victory in Saturday’s Queen Of The Turf Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) at Randwick, with the result providing a timely boost to one of their key broodmare families. The Matthew Smith-trained mare is out of Progressive (Street Cry), whose half-sister Winter Sky (Invincible Spirit) resides at the Wairarapa nursery. Little Avondale boss Sam Williams said: “We were hoping she could run in the first three on Saturday – to beat Lady Shenandoah and Treasurethe Moment really cemented how good a mare she is.” Winter Sky, also a half-sister to Transfers (Street Cry), the dam of three-time Group 1 winner Tom Kitten (Harry Angel), was purchased for A$300,000 at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale and is owned in partnership alongside the estate of Williams’ late father-in-law Stu McLeod and his wife Rosie. The mare is already making an impact commercially, with her second foal, Arctic Bright (Per Incanto), selling for A$200,000 at the 2024 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale – immediately preceding the record-breaking A$10 million Pierro (Lonhro) filly out of Winx. She has since raced for John Sargent before transferring to Chris Anderson, although she is currently sidelined. Further updates from the family include a Pinatubo (Shamardal) filly sold for $100,000 at Karaka this year to Paul Beamish, while an “outstanding” Per Incanto (Street Cry) colt is being targeted at a major sale in 2027. Winter Sky is back in foal to Per Incanto and is booked to visit his son Little Brose later this season.

Enchantment stakes win vindicates Belle Fascino purchase

A shrewd broodmare purchase continues to pay dividends, with Enchantment (Hello Youmzain) adding a stakes victory in the Welcome Stakes (Listed, 1000m) at Riccarton to the growing success of her dam Belle Fascino (Per Incanto). The filly is the first stakes winner for the Group 3-winning mare, who was secured for $85,000 via Gavelhouse in 2021 by Clyde and Pat Buckingham late in her racing career. “I remember when I was bidding on Belle Fascino, Clyde was saying ‘That’s it, no more bids’, whereas I was saying ‘another one’, then ‘another one’, so I got my way,“ Pat Buckingham said. “As it turned out we ended up with a bargain; she won almost her purchase price in the four starts she had for us, and now she’s produced a stakes winner.” Belle Fascino went on to add two further victories post-purchase, including the Canterbury Breeders’ Stakes (Gr 3, 1600m), retiring with ten wins and over $230,000 in earnings. The pedigree already boasted plenty of strength, with Belle Fascino by Per Incanto, now a proven sire of stakes performers and broodmare sire of multiple winners, and out of Playing For Keeps (Keeper) from a family that has consistently produced winners. Enchantment is the fourth New Zealand stakes winner for Hello Youmzain and the first from his second crop. Buckingham added: “The first foal [the mare] produced was small and I decided to let her go as a weanling. Enchantment was bought by Sheamus Mills for a group of clients and they left her here with Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson hoping to make it to the Karaka Millions. I was hoping the same as I had the younger sister in the sales in January, but it wasn’t to be. Even so [the yearling sister] made $120,000, so it was still a good result. Enchantment has done it now though, she’s a stakes winner, and the way she won on Saturday there’s hopefully more to come.”

HK: Cap Ferrat spearheads Lui trio for Champions Mile

Trainer Francis Lui is hoping Cap Ferrat (Snitzel) can take another step forward when he lines up in the Champions Mile (Gr 1, 1600m) at Sha Tin later this month. The HK$24 million feature on April 26 shapes as a deep contest, with Group 1 winners Voyage Bubble (Deep Field), Lucky Sweynesse (Sweynesse), Red Lion (Belardo), Jantar Mantar (Palice Malice) and Docklands (Massaat) among those engaged. Cap Ferrat, winner of this year’s Hong Kong Derby (Listed, 2000m), resumed with a solid seventh in the Chairman’s Trophy (Gr 2, 1600m) earlier this month following a disrupted preparation. “He’s back to his form, but I think he still needs to put on more condition,” Lui said. “He finished off well last time – I was happy.” With the upcoming Group 1 contest set to be Cap Ferrat’s second start since recovering from a bleeding issue, Lui is tempering expectations against the likes of reigning star Romantic Warrior (Acclamation). “At the moment, how can you beat Romantic Warrior? Hopefully, we can pick up stakes money,” he said. Lui will also be represented in the race by Group 3 winners Chancheng Glory (Mor Spirit) and Copartner Prance (Epaulette). The Champions Mile forms part of Hong Kong’s Champions Day programme, alongside the Chairman’s Sprint Prize (Gr 1, 1200m) and the QEII Cup (Gr 1, 2000m).

70 for Camelot

Christmas Day (3 c ex Beauly, by Sea The Stars) became the 70th individual stakes winner for Camelot (Montjeu) with a determined victory in the Ballysax Stakes (Gr 3, 1m 2f) at Leopardstown on Sunday, continuing the sire’s strong record with progressive middle-distance horses. Trained by Aidan O’Brien for the Coolmore partners, the progressive colt made a pleasing seasonal return, building on his Eyrefield Stakes (Gr 3, 1m 1f) success at the same track last year. Ridden by Wayne Lordan, he tracked the pace before asserting late to defeat stablemate Endorsement (Wootton Bassett) by a half-length. “The race kind of broke into two halves a little bit. It was a little bit of a stop-start race, but we were very happy,” said O’Brien. “Wayne was very happy with his horse, he gave him a lovely ride. Ronan was the same.” The Donnacha O’Brien-trained A Boy Named Susie (Starspangledbanner) finished a further half-length away in third. Out of a daughter of Sea The Stars (Cape Cross), Christmas Day boasts a pedigree built for middle-distance success, and his latest performance further underlines the strength of Camelot as a sire of Classic horses. The son of Montjeu (Sadler’s Wells) is currently standing at a fee of €60,000 (approx. AU$99,414).

IRE: Guineas aims for St Mark’s Basilica colt after Group 3 win

Progressive St Mark’s Basilica (Siyouni) colt Thesecretadversary (3 c ex Too Soon To Panic, by Gleneagles) put himself firmly in the European Classic picture with a decisive return in Sunday’s Red Rocks Stakes (Gr 3, 7f) at Leopardstown. Trained by Fozzy Stack and ridden by Seamie Heffernan, the colt swept home from off the pace to run out the two and a half-length winner at his first appearance since running fifth in the Summer Stakes (Gr 1, 8f) at Woodbine in September. Power Blue (Space Blues) was second, with Redemption Road
(Without Parole) a further three quarters of a length back in third. Already the first stakes winner for his sire when successful in Listed company in Ireland last August, Thesecretadvisary has now won two of his six starts and further improvement is expected as he steps up in trip. “He’s in every Guineas bar the Italian, and we’ll talk to the owners about where we go,” Stack said. “He stays well and has been working well.” Coolmore shuttler St Mark’s Basilica stood the 2025 southern hemisphere breeding season at a fee of A$38,000. He is represented by four stakes winners worldwide, while unbeaten dual Listed scorer Aristopolos heads his three winners in the southern hemisphere, where he has had nine runners. He currently sits seventh in the Australian first-season sire rankings.

IRE: True Love makes faultless return

Group 1-winning juvenile True Love (No Nay Never) returned in the Priory Belle Stakes (Gr 3, 7f) at Leopardstown on Sunday, where she was sent out joint-favourite for the Group 3 feature and delivered a dominant performance to enhance her Classic credentials. She defied her Group 1 penalty and travelled strongly on the pace under Ryan Moore before quickening smartly along the rail to defeat Magny Cours (Awtaad) by a length and a quarter, with Pivotal Attack (Pinatubo) a further length and three quarters away in third. “She’s a big, pacy mare and she travelled very easily there,” O’Brien said. “Whether she gets a mile or not we don’t know, but Ryan wanted to find out and rode her positively – we couldn’t be sure until we saw her do it.” A dual Group 2 winner at two before adding the Cheveley Park Stakes (Gr 1, 6f), True Love showed she can stretch beyond sprint trips, although her ultimate Classic target remains undecided. “She’s a big cruiser and a classy filly, but where she goes will depend on [her fellow Group 1-winning stablemates] Precise and Diamond Necklace,” O’Brien added. “She could go to France if she doesn’t go to Newmarket.” True Love is one of three stakes performers out of Fastnet Rock (Danehill) mare Alluringly (Fastnet Rock) alongside Group 2 winner Lily Pond (Galileo) and Group winner Truly Enchanting (No Nay Never). The family traces through All Too Beautiful (Sadler’s Wells) to the outstanding Urban Sea (Miswaki), dam of Galileo (Sadler’s Wells) and Sea The Stars.

Kiwi Chronicles

Ohope won

Lloyd Jackson

Since the New Zealand Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m) transferred to Trentham (from Riccarton) during the 1970s, it took until 1990 before the winner also scored at Randwick, in the Australian Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m). That year it was Domino (Grosvenor). Bonneval (Makfi) completed the double in 2017 and Pennyweka (Satono Aladdin) repeated the feat in 2023,  so while not impossible, it is still rare and significant.

Unlike Domino, Bonneval and Pennyweka, Ohope Wins (Ocean Park) took her New Zealand Oaks form from Ellerslie which staged the race for the first time this past February. Another difference is that Ohope Wins had two trainers. The Matamata-based O’Sullivan/Scott partnership oversaw her Ellerslie Oaks but her purchase by Yulong Investments meant a new trainer in Sydney, with ex-pat New Zealander Chris Waller taking over her career.

Yulong bought well. Ohope Wins will no doubt claim the title of Champion New Zealand Three-Year-Old at the end of the season as she was dominant. Her finishing runs in New Zealand were a feature of her form and it was no surprise to see her well back at Randwick, standing up the leaders 15 lengths down the back straight.

Even at the 600m she sat second last but by that time the field had compacted she was widest into the straight. Sydney competition is strong and she didn’t run away with it as she had at Ellerslie, but her staying prowess was evident after she accelerated to the 200 metres to level up to the leaders. She relished the 2400m and she is already a good candidate for next spring’s Caulfield Cup (Gr 1, 2400m). She has had either trial or race activity every month since last August so a break is now fully deserved with Waller expressing that O’Sullivan and Scott should be acknowledged for the way they managed her New Zealand runs.

Her second elite level win elevates her to third among the 26 progeny of Waikato Stud’s Ocean Park (Thorn Park) to win at stakes level. Ahead of her (so far) are Tofane with four Group 1s and Kolding with three. It would have been good to see her remain in New Zealand but that’s the reality when the racing and breeding industry is centred in Australia.

The win is her fourth in just eight starts, for earnings exceeding $1.6 million, and she is the only winner from four foals to race from Choux Mania, a Redoute’s Choice (Danehill) half-sister to two Group 1 winners Jimmy Choux (Thorn Park) and Miss Wilson (Stratum).

Her breeders, Gartshore Bloodstock Ltd, were no doubt inspired by the first-rate race record of Jimmy Choux and his five Group 1s, including in Sydney. He was some racehorse who landed 12 wins and was second in the 2011 Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) behind the top mare Pinker Pinker (Reset). Jimmy Choux is by Ocean Park’s sire Thorn Park (Spinning World) from Choux Mania’s dam Cierzo (Centaine), thus the same cross separated by a generation.

Sun shines on Otaki

Platinum Attack (Credit: Race Images)

Beautiful weather at Otaki brought out a healthy-sized crowd for some top-class racing on Saturday, featuring two Listed stakes races. However, before each was run many eyes were focused on Race 3, a Benchmark 65 race in which Te Akau Racing’s $2.1 million purchase, Avantaggia (Wootton Bassett) was making her fifth start. There is always a fascination with expensive, royally-bred runners, not unlike the son or daughter of a famous sports performer.

The filly was up to it, sitting third on the rails into the straight then finding an inviting gap at the 200 metre mark. Samantha Collett didn’t need any prompting and shot the filly into the lead where she held on really well, the filly’s second success.

Her maiden win was at Te Aroha last October and a look back would suggest that she has proved worthy of an attempt at stakes level. Second to her at Te Aroha was Confesara (Toronado), who has since won twice including the $100,000 Windsor Park Trophy (1500m) at Ellerslie on Champions Day, and placed third to Belle Cheval (Savabeel) in the Uncle Remus Stakes (Gr 3, 1400m) at Ellerslie. Belle Cheval has since taken out the Vinery Stud Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) at Rosehill Gardens, after running Well Written (Written Tycoon) to a short half-head in the NZB Kiwi (Listed, 1500m) also at Ellerslie.

Third to Avantaggia at Te Aroha was That’s Gold (Lucky Vega), who has added four wins including the Avondale Guineas (Gr 2, 2100m) as well as the Bonecrusher Stakes (Gr 3, 1400m). Te Akau Racing have announced that Avantaggia will indeed get her chance at black-type, in next month’s Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) at Te Rapa. The form around the filly justifies the stable’s plans.

While the Hastings track is being refurbished, Otaki staged the Listed City of Napier Sprint (1200m) plus the Hawke’s Bay Cup (Listed, 2200m) and the sprint saw Platinum Attack (Santos) continue his winning form from Trentham where he was finally rewarded after several solid efforts.

Full of running yet widest but one into the straight, Platinum Attack took two or three bounds at the 250 metre mark and with 150 metres remaining had them gasping as he ran through the line for a comfortable win, his eighth in 23 starts and earnings of $445,000. The 5YO is only getting better with age, as all three of his stakes wins have taken place this season.

His sire Santos (I Am Invincible), a Sydney Group 2 winner as a 2YO, stands at Highview Stud. Trainer Lisa Latta found Platinum Attack as a weanling at the 2021 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale for $37,000. His dam Conchita (Uncle Mo) won four times including in Sydney and Melbourne and her dam is a half-sister to international Group winners Red Cardinal (Montjeu), and Maria Royal (Montjeu).

Westbury Stud’s Tarzino (Tavistock) sired his ninth individual stakes winner when 6YO gelding Crouch (Tarzino) landed the Hawke’s Bay Cup (Listed, 2200m) after co-leading three deep into the straight before running clear late for a clear-cut victory.

This was his seventh success in a 34 race career, earning more than $420,000, a good return on his $20,000 purchase from Book 2 at the 2021 NZB Karaka Yearling Sale. Included in his record are two successive second placings in the Wellington Cup (Gr 3, 3200m). In this year’s running of the Wellington Cup he came up just a short neck shy and since then finished third in the Awapuni Gold Cup (Gr 2, 2100m). He was overdue a stakes win and connections are now looking to Melbourne and the Sandown Cup (Listed, 3200m) late next month.

He is the second winner from Oya (Black Minnaloushe). Her first, Prince Alby (Sacred Falls), was an 11-time winner who recorded two Listed placings. Oya herself ranks as a half-sister to Wakeful Stakes (Gr 2, 2000m) winner and VRC Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m) second, Thunder Lady (Mastercraftsman). Their half-sister Fleur d’Amour (Thorn Park) foaled the Group 3 winner Princess Kereru (Pins).

Down south

Bona Sforza (Credit: Race Images South)

Like Crouch, Bona Sforza (Written By), winner of the NZB Insurance Stakes (Listed, 1600m), could also be headed for Australia, but to Adelaide for the Australasian Oaks (Gr 1, 2000m).

The lightly-raced filly has an affinity for Riccarton, having won on debut in the Welcome Stakes (Listed, 1000m) at the same meeting last year. Her only other starts at Riccarton resulted in a second in the Canterbury Belle Stakes (Listed, 1200m) last September, to Miss Starlight (Sweynesse) who was runner-up on Saturday. As well, Bona Sforza finished a solid fourth in last November’s New Zealand One Thousand Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m).

On Saturday, she didn’t have many favours in the running, trapped three deep midfield until they straightened. Out in the middle of the track she gradually wore down Miss Starlight in a determined effort, her second win in six starts, banking $138,000 and well on the way to recouping her $150,000 purchase price at the 2024 NZB Karaka Yearling Sale where she was originally passed in for $110,000.

Her Listed placed dam Thwayya (Snitzel) was an Ellerslie winner, her grandam a Sydney winner and her great grandam a Brisbane winner but Bona Sforza remains the only stakes winner within her first three generations of her largely Australian family.

The Welcome Stakes (Listed, 1000m) for 2YOs brought up the fourth Southern Hemisphere stakes winner for Cambridge Stud’s shuttler Hello Youmzain (Kodiac), Enchantment his eleventh in total.

Hello Youmzain has just two crops racing and among those foaled south of the equator are a further seven stakes-placed performers including Sweetest Thing who was second in the recent Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m). The stallion’s future looks more than promising at this stage of his career.

Enchantment has raced four times this season, arriving at Riccarton with three placings. On this occasion she was first into stride and was never headed thereafter, the race decided when she kicked just before the 200 metres and was too strong to the line.

A $60,000 graduate of NZB’s 2025 Karaka Yearling Sale, she has quite a lot to live up to being a daughter of Belle Fascino (Per Incanto), a dual Group 3 winner and six times stakes placed down south. Like many by Per Incanto (Street Cry), Belle Fascino remained sound through to seven which was her best season, winning four of her last seven starts including two Group 3s. At stud she visited Hello Youmzain three times for three fillies but only Enchantment, her second foal, has so far been named.

No Glow

Everyone loves champions. We all want winning streaks to continue. We all dream of owning one. Racing is about competing and winning.

All the above applied to Autumn Glow (The Autumn Sun) and it was uncomfortable watching her attempt to keep the dream alive over the last 300 metres of the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) at Randwick on Saturday. Hindsight is 20/20 but it was, on reflection, a tall order to meet. That extra 32 seconds encompassing the 500 metres beyond her George Ryder Stakes (Gr 1, 1500m) win was a lot to ask.

Blood doesn’t explain every reason for defeat but in Autumn Glow’s case, this column asked the question after the mare waltzed home in the George Ryder on Golden Slipper Day. So did Arrowfield boss John Messara.

“Connections may prefer to avoid the rush and bustle of a tough handicap and stick to weight-for-age, the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) the most obvious target. However, consider that Autumn Glow’s South African triple Group 1 sprinting dam Via Africa (Var) never won beyond 1200m. Via Africa’s dam and grandam each won three times, all at 1000m. Countering that is The Autumn Sun (Redoute’s Choice) himself who was successful in the 2000m Rosehill Guineas (Gr 1). Blood suggests a question mark.”

When she challenged Sir Delius (Frankel) approaching the 300 metres, we all thought: “Here she comes,” but as soon as the challenge was lodged it ended. That last 300 meters was a bridge too far but at the same time you had to admire her determination as she stuck to the task, showing huge heart.

Her defeat takes a tiny bit of gloss off her outstanding record and all that remains now is to learn whether she returns next season as a 5YO. The racing public will certainly hope so even though she has little to prove. Perhaps a clash with Sheza Alibi (Saxon Warrior)?

The Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) would have been the goal but the 2040 metres is now in doubt. Fortunately, Australia has a wide array of Group One weight-for-age 1400m and 1600m events to choose from before any thought is given to her next career as an Arrowfield broodmare.
