Overpass primed for Royal Ascot challenge

Trevor Marshallsea

ANZ News

Trainer Bjorn Baker believes seasoned sprinter Overpass (Vancouver) is “going as well as ever” as he prepares to depart for Britain this week as part of the Australian challenge at Royal Ascot.

The seven-year-old, bought by Darby Racing and Will Johnson Bloodstock for just $75,000 at the Covid-hit Inglis Easter sale of 2020, has accumulated more than $12.5 million in earnings through 10 victories in 36 starts.

What's On

He has forged a fearsome reputation at another Ascot, the one in Perth, where he won the first four of his seven outings at the track. The first two editions of slot race The Quokka (1200m), worth $4m and $5m respectively, and his two Winterbottom Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) titles.

Overpass hasn’t actually won in seven starts since his second Winterbottom triumph, in November 2024, but that winless streak doesn’t faze his trainer.

The gelding did come within 0.06 lengths of a third Winterbottom last November when second to Libertad (Russian Revolution).

He was then stretched to seven furlongs for only the third time in his career for a meritorious 0.41 length third in Ascot’s lucrative Gold Rush (Gr 3, 1400m), before his only run of the autumn, his last-start fourth placing in the TJ Smith Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) at Randwick.

That day, he travelled in his customary spot on the pace and finished 2.12 lengths behind Chris Waller’s Joliestar (Zoustar), the other headline act of this year’s Australian raid on Royal Ascot.

Overpass’s chief target is the King Charles III Stakes (Gr 1, 1000m) on the first day of the meeting, Tuesday, June 16, where he’ll attempt to become the seventh Australian raider to win the race since Choisir (Danehill Dancer) blazed the trail in 2003.

Baker’s sprinter is also nominated for the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) on the meeting’s final day, though Baker says a start there will depend on how he comes out of the King Charles.

Joliestar is still in the nominations for the King Charles, but her connections have made clear she will be contesting only the Jubilee.

“

He’s come back well, he looks fantastic and he’s in good condition

Bjorn Baker

Henry Dwyer’s reigning Champion European Sprinter Asfoora (Flying Artie) is at $11 with British bookmakers to win a second King Charles in three years, despite abject failures in her two runs in England this campaign.

Despite 19 months without a win, Overpass is a clear favourite for the King Charles, at $4 on the TAB and half a point longer at 7-2 with British bookmakers.

And Baker isn’t concerned with his sprinter’s long gap between victories as he prepares for him to fly to London with Joliestar on Wednesday night.

“I’m really happy with him,” Baker told ANZ News. “He’s come back well, he looks fantastic and he’s in good condition.

“Everything suggests he’s going as well as ever.”

Overpass and Joliestar tuned up for their 16,900-kilometre mission towards the Royal Ascot straight course with a 1000m jump-out up Flemington’s equivalent on Friday, with Waller’s mare leading him home by a neck in the three-horse affair.

“The jump-out was great,” Baker said. “His biggest asset is his high cruising speed. They weren’t out to break any records, and they breezed through early and went quick the last bit, so he was never going to look great late, but he went well.”

The Warwick Farm trainer said Overpass had continued to perform more than creditably of late despite not claiming an elusive 11th win, including coming within 1.48 lengths of the great Ka Ying Rising (Shamexpress) when fourth in last year’s Everest (Gr 1, 1200m), in which Joliestar ran fifth.

“His runs have been good this season,” said Baker. “He ran a great fourth in the Everest, a very close second in the Winterbottom. He ran third in Perth over 1400 metres, which he’s not necessarily suited to.

“And his fourth in the TJ Smith was very good. The track was a soft 7, which he’s not suited to.

“So he’s running against the best sprinters in the country and he’s still holding his own.”

While Overpass has won five times on soft going, including on a soft 7 at Gosford at his fourth start, Baker said he was far more comfortable at the firmer end of the soft range, and “far better on top of the ground”.

Thus he’s hoping the long-range weather forecast for fine conditions at Royal Ascot proves correct, on top of the high temperatures recorded there in “heatwave” conditions in the past week.

Distance is something of a question, not only the travel from Australia to the UK but the five furlongs of the King Charles Stakes, as Baker tackles the challenges of his first raid on the royal meeting with a runner, despite having attended several times, including during the four years he lived in London and Ireland as a younger man.

“It’s all new. It’s a great experience, although some of the logistics we’ve had to work through have been fairly challenging,” Baker said.

“He has travelled a fair bit all over Australia. The big question mark is how he handles travelling over there. You don’t really know until you try, but he’s older and getting more mature all the time, so hopefully he’ll handle it well.”

While Overpass is known as a speedster, he’s only raced over the 1000m trip twice - in his first two starts, in 2021, for a second at Hawkesbury and a win in Orange’s popular two-year-old event, the Silver Apple.

Eight of his wins have been over 1200m, and another over 1100m, but Baker isn’t concerned about the 1000m of the King Charles, particularly since the dash is made tougher by the absence of a turn.

He’s also heartened by the fact Overpass ran a 1.35 length second in The Shorts (Gr 2, 1100m) in 2022 behind Nature Strip (Nicconi), when that sprinter was at the height of his powers three months after becoming one of those six Australian King Charles Stakes winners.

“He just hasn’t raced over the shorter trips because they probably haven’t been in the program,” Baker said. “But he ran well in The Shorts that day behind Nature Strip. He was good that day.”

Overpass’s three straight track runs at Flemington, while not reading as outstanding overall, also give his trainer encouragement.

The gelding ran a 4.4 length sixth in the Coolmore Stud Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) of 2021, as Home Affairs (I Am Invincible) won by three.

Overpass won the Inglis Sprint (1200m) by 0.75 lengths the following autumn, as a $1.70 chance in a questionable 13-horse field. Most recently he was eighth in the VRC Classic (Gr 1, 1200m) in November 2024 at $6.50, when drawing gate two and running on the inside of the pack as it raced up the grandstand side.

“Of his three runs, once he wasn’t necessarily in the best part of the track and didn’t fire in the VRC Sprint, he won the Inglis three-year-old race, albeit a weak race, and he a very unlucky sixth in the Coolmore,” Baker said.

“Overall he has a reasonable record down the straight, without getting carried away.”

“

It’s hard to know and weigh up the form, but the betting does give me some indication that we’re probably in a race we can be competitive in

Bjorn Baker

All things considered, the bookmakers have Overpass, who’ll have regular rider Josh Parr aboard, on top of their calculations for the King Charles - a situation that heartens Baker greatly.

Equal second-favourites (once Joliestar, currently $5, comes out) are Britain’s Night Raider (Dark Angel) and French four-year-old mare Rayevka (Blue Point), both at $9.

Trained in Yorkshire for Wathnam Racing by Karl Burke, Night Raider has won his past two starts over 1000m since being gelded - a Newmarket Group 3 and a Haydock Group 2, by half a length and a length.

Rayevka, owned by Aga Khan Studs and trained by Francis-Henri Graffard, won a Longchamp Group 3 over the same trip by 1.75 lengths at her last start on May 10.

“I have no idea what we’re up against,” Baker said. “It’s hard to know and weigh up the form, but the betting does give me some indication that we’re probably in a race we can be competitive in.

“But you don’t get carried away. I can only hope we get there in as good form as we can have him in, and ready to go.

“You’ve got to go and back yourself. We wouldn’t be going if we didn’t think we’d be competitive, but it is very hard to know what you’re up against, and there’s a fair bit of water to go under the bridge. As we get closer and see how he adapts we’ll have more idea.”

Overpass and Joliestar will not only travel together but stable together with trainer Charlie Hills at Lambourn, some 70km west of Ascot, less than half the distance from the more traditional base for Australian visitors, Newmarket.

“It works out pretty well with us staying with Charlie Hills,” Baker said.

“I think Overpass will head to Ascot on Friday, June 12 to take a look, and there’s a good possibility Joliestar will go there too, so they might be able to work together, to a degree.”

Morning Briefing

Australia

The Western Front digs deep to claim Sandown Cup

The Western Front (Credit: Racing Photos)

The Western Front (War Decree) showed a new level of maturity and determination to secure a hard-fought victory in the Listed Sandown Cup (3200m) on Sunday, giving the Lindsay Park team another feature staying success. Jockey Luke Currie noticed a significant difference in the gelding before the race, saying The Western Front was far more relaxed than when he partnered him in the Andrew Ramsden Stakes (Listed, 2800m) at Flemington earlier this month. “On the way to the gates today he felt a lot more settled,” Currie said. “The boys have worked really hard on him to get him to relax and that’s the key in these staying races.” Sent out as a $3 equal favourite, The Western Front settled comfortably throughout before producing a strong finishing effort to narrowly hold off German import Zibulon (Dschingis Secret) by a half-head, with the Irish bred gelding, Tajanis (Australia) a nose away in third after a stirring finish. Currie said the race shape played into his mount’s hands, with a steady early tempo allowing runners to conserve energy before the contest intensified over the final stages. “We wanted to be positive and hold a spot without doing too much,” he said. “When I let him go, he quickened well and was able to hold on.” The jockey admitted there were moments in the straight where he feared the challengers might overwhelm him but was confident his mount would fight to the line. Representing the Lindsay Park training partnership, Ben Hayes was delighted to see The Western Front show genuine determination under pressure. “What I loved most was the way he fought it out,” Hayes said. “He can be a bit of a thinker at times and has let races slip before, but today he was genuine, handled the track beautifully and stayed the trip strongly.” The victory highlighted the gelding’s growing maturity and ability to perform at staying distances, providing further encouragement for the stable as they map out his future targets.

Sing For Peace claims Australian Steeplechase upset

Sing For Peace (Tavistock) produced a dominant display to deny champion jumper Stern Idol (Raven’s Pass) a second Australian Steeplechase (3900m) victory at Sandown on Sunday. The Patrick Payne-trained galloper took full advantage of a significant weight swing, carrying just 65kg compared to Stern Idol’s 76.5kg, and proved far too strong over the 12-obstacle feature. Ridden by Tom Ryan, Sing For Peace ($2.60) travelled strongly throughout and had the measure of favourite Stern Idol ($1.85) turning for home before pulling clear to score by 12.5 lengths. Castrofrancaru (Americain) finished strongly to grab second, 10 lengths behind the winner, with Stern Idol fading into third. Ryan said the plan was to stay within striking distance of Stern Idol, whose exceptional jumping often breaks rivals’ hearts. “Stern Idol can put five or 10 lengths on a field through his jumping, especially down the back straight at Sandown,” Ryan said. “I didn’t want him getting away from us and, even if he did, with the weight he was giving us I thought we could still be close enough.” The race developed into a match race between the leading pair more than 1200 metres from home before Sing For Peace gradually asserted his superiority. Ryan praised the winner’s flawless jumping and determination. “My horse met every fence perfectly and was brilliant at the line,” he said. The victory provided another feature jumps success for trainer Patrick Payne, while highlighting the impact of the weight-for-age conditions as Stern Idol’s bid for back-to-back Australian Steeplechase victories came undone under a hefty impost.

Mr Waterville continues rise with Australian Hurdle victory

Mr Waterville (Camelot) continued his impressive transition to jumps racing with a dominant victory in the Australian Hurdle (3900m) at Sandown on Sunday, delivering trainer Clayton Douglas a race he previously won as a jockey aboard Self Sense (Street Sense) in 2018. Ridden by Steven Pateman, the $2.70 favourite produced a polished display to score by 4.5 lengths from Highland Blaze (Highland Reel), with The Storyteller (Roc De Cambes) a further 4.5 lengths away in third. Douglas revealed he had left nothing to chance in the lead-up, putting the gelding through additional schooling sessions following his Novice Hurdle win at Warrnambool earlier this month. “I schooled him myself on Thursday and his jumping improved every lap,” Douglas said. “He lost his way on the flat and this is what jumps racing can do. He’s found a real interest in it and he’s a great staying horse.” The trainer admitted his biggest concern was the gelding’s relative inexperience over hurdles, but was pleased with the way he attacked his fences throughout the race. “You could see him drawing down to his jumps much better today. It’s a jumping race and they’re there to jump,” he said. Douglas believes Mr Waterville has a bright future and expects him to continue improving with experience. “We’ll probably work towards the Grand National Hurdle at this stage, but I’d like to give him a steeplechase run as well.” Mr Waterville carries the colours associated with champion sprinter Nature Strip and is part-owned by champion trainer Chris Waller.

Magic Millions ready for National sale

Magic Millions National Yearling Sale inspections (Credit: Magic Millions)

The first day of the Magic Millions National Yearling Sale commences on the Gold Coast with 374 lots catalogued to go through the ring with action starting at 11am on Monday and Tuesday.

It is the penultimate live yearling sale on the Australian calendar with the Perth Winter Sale set for later this month and the last chance for buyers to access next season's $20 million Magic Millions Race Series.

Supported by over 50 vendors with yearlings by 117 different stallions (14 first season), the National Sale may be the smallest catalogue in almost 15 years but has depth and variety to rival most sales and it won’t be short of some headline acts with lots by proven stallions Snitzel, I Am Invincible, Zoustar, Extreme Choice, Lope De Vega, and new sensation Home Affairs.

Fresh from notching his 19th individual stakes winner on Saturday when his Magic Millions graduate Berzelius won the $1million BRC Sires Produce Stakes (Gr 2, 1400m) at Eagle Farm, sire phenomenon Extreme Choice (Not A Single Doubt) is represented by no fewer than four lots. To be offered under the Newgate banner, the three fillies and colt are 10% of his 2026 sale crop which is the most in any one sale outside of the Majors.

Champion Sire elect, Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice) will be represented by 5 yearlings, four colts and one filly, from Baramul, Arrowfield and KBL Thoroughbreds.

Baramul Stud, 2025’s leading vendor when grossing over $2 million will again make their presence felt with 33 lots catalogued ahead of Arrowfield Stud with a draft 20, all of which have been paid up for the lucrative race series already. Baramul Stud have provided the top lots in the last two editions of the National Sale with an $850k Extreme Choice colt last year and a $400k Zoustar (Northern Meteor) in 2024. Currently second on the General Sire table, Widden stallion Zoustar is represented by 6 lots whilst fellow top five sires The Autumn Sun (Redoute’s Choice) has 4 and I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit) has a sole representative from Newhaven Park.

Local Queensland stalwart Better Than Ready (More Than Ready) will, not surprisingly, be represented by the most lots with 13 yearlings set to walk through the ring having had yet another remarkable season on the track. Coolmore Stud’s Best Of Bordeaux (Snitzel) and Widden’s Jacquinot (Rubick) have the most catalogued of any first season sire with half a dozen each.

The National Sale offers buyers some of the best value yearlings eligible for the rich $20 million Magic Millions race series run across six states next season highlighted by the $13.25 million TAB Magic Millions Raceday on the Gold Coast in January.

Lord Spencer set for steeplechase debut at Te Aroha

Trainer JJ Rayner is hoping a busy week on the road will pay dividends when Lord Spencer (Zed) makes his steeeplechase debut in the Frank & Annie Matijasevich Memorial Maiden Steeplechase (3500m) at Te Aroha on Monday. The Wanganui-based jumper has built an impressive record over hurdles, highlighted by victory in the 2024 Great Northern Hurdle (4200m), and has returned this season in excellent order. After two placings on the flat, he broke through in a highweight event at Woodville before resuming over hurdles at Te Rapa last week. Rayner was pleased with his fourth placing behind some of the country's leading hurdlers and believes the seven-year-old will be better suited by longer distances and the larger steeplechase fences. “He seems a different horse this time. He’s really enjoying his work and loving life,” Rayner said. To prepare for Monday’s assignment, Lord Spencer travelled to Trentham during the week for a steeplechase schooling session, where he impressed his trainer with his jumping. “We took him down to Trentham and he jumped really nicely, so it was good to see him over live chase fences,” she said. TAB bookmakers have installed Lord Spencer as the even-money favourite for the feature maiden steeplechase, although Rayner is taking a measured approach. “As long as he gets around safely, learns something and has a good experience, that’s the main thing,” she said. A strong performance could see Lord Spencer remain on a steeplechase path through the winter, with southern jumping features among his longer-term targets, although a return to hurdles remains an option.

Imperative bounces back to claim Wairio Cup

Imperative (Ghibellines) returned to winning form in style at Wingatui on Sunday, overcoming her last-start disappointment to capture the AB Lime & Hyde Landscaping Wairio Cup (2200m) for local trainers Brian and Shane Anderton. The mare had been in strong form prior to her unplaced effort at Riccarton on ANZAC Day, where she finished last in open company over 2600 metres. However, the Andertons were quick to forgive that performance, believing the race conditions were against her. “Her form was pretty good and then that last run at Christchurch it was a fairly firm track and they cantered around and sprinted home, so it didn’t really suit her,” Shane Anderton said. Back on a rain-affected Heavy 9 track at her home course, Imperative was ridden patiently by Terry Moseley after jumping from a wide barrier. Settling near the rear, she was perfectly placed to capitalise on a strong early tempo that took its toll on the leaders. Tracking race favourite A Mandarin (Turn Me Loose) into the contest from the 600 metres, Imperative worked into the clear approaching the home turn and finished powerfully to score by three-quarters of a length from Tellme You Loveme (Tavistock), with A Mandarin a nose away in third. “Today was a real staying test, they went pretty hard up front and that really set it up for a back runner like her,” Anderton said. The victory completed a winning double for the stable after promising three-year-old Exclude (Ancient Spirit) broke through in the NZB Mega Maiden (1300m) at just his second start. “It was a good, tough effort because he was three-wide outside the leader at the half-mile,” Anderton said. The stable also celebrated a strong second placing from Quinto (Raise The Flag) in the Be My Guest Design (2200m), with Anderton confident the gelding has an even brighter future ahead. Imperative is expected to continue racing through the winter months, with the Andertons eyeing another run or two before turning their attention towards spring targets.

HK: Light Years Charm lands Group 3 breakthrough as Fownes extends title lead

Light Years Charm (Rubick) delivered the biggest win of his Hong Kong career when he captured the Lion Rock Trophy Handicap (Group 3, 1600m) at Sha Tin on Sunday, providing trainer David Eustace and jockey Jerry Chau with a memorable success in one of the closest finishes of the season. Settling just behind the speed from barrier one, Light Years Charm enjoyed an economical run before bursting through along the rails in the straight. The gelding held off a determined late challenge from veteran Beauty Joy to score by a short head, with Copartner Prance (Epaulette) a nose away in third after a thrilling finish. Formerly a multiple Group 1 winner in Australia in partnership with Ciaron Maher, Eustace said the victory was a significant milestone for the progressive galloper, who has risen from a Hong Kong rating of 64 to 100 since arriving in the jurisdiction. “He's just been a great horse and worked through his grades really well,” Eustace said. “Everything went his way today and Jerry gave him a beautiful ride.” The victory improved Light Years Charm’s Hong Kong record to six wins from 18 starts and lifted his earnings beyond HK$13.8 million. Chau later completed a riding double aboard Ka Ying Attack (Too Darn Hot), strengthening his position in the race for the Tony Cruz Award as leading homegrown jockey. Earlier in the day, Patch Of Stars (All Too Hard) continued his rise through the sprinting ranks with victory in the Sha Tin Vase Handicap (Group 3, 1200m) for trainer Manfred Man and jockey Karis Teetan. The four-year-old secured his fourth course-and-distance win of the season, narrowly holding off Raging Blizzard (Per Incanto) in a blanket finish. Meanwhile, Caspar Fownes edged closer to a fifth Hong Kong trainers’ championship with victories from Papaya Brose and Family Jewel. The double lifted him to 58 wins for the season, ahead of Danny Shum (56) and Mark Newnham (55) with 12 meetings remaining.

JPN: Lovcen keeps Triple Crown dream alive with Japanese Derby triumph

Lovcen (World Premiere) strengthened his claims as Japan’s leading three-year-old and kept his Triple Crown aspirations intact with a determined victory in the Tokyo Yushun (Group 1, 2400m) at Tokyo Racecourse on Sunday. The son of World Premiere (Deep Impact) added the second leg of Japan’s Triple Crown to his record after capturing the Satsuki Sho (Gr 1, 2000m) earlier this season, becoming the first colt since Contrail (Deep Impact) in 2020 to win both spring classics. Starting the $2.70 favourite from barrier 17, Lovcen overcame a difficult draw and a slow beginning before settling midfield under Kohei Matsuyama. As the field turned for home, Peintre Naif (Kizuna) and Basse Terre (Kitasun Black) launched their challenges, but Lovcen displayed his trademark determination to edge past his rivals in the closing stages and score by a head. Peintre Naif finished a gallant second, while Basse Terre held on for third after making an early move from the rear of the field. The victory provided trainer Haruki Sugiyama with his first Japanese Derby success and handed Matsuyama the coveted title of Derby-winning jockey. “I still can’t believe I’m now a Derby jockey,” Matsuyama said after the race. “We weren’t able to secure the ideal position from the wide draw, but Lovcen showed his strength and versatility again. He still has plenty of improvement ahead of him.” Now the winner of four of his five starts, Lovcen has emerged as a genuine Triple Crown contender heading towards the Kikuka Sho (Group 1, 3000m) later this year. With victories already in the Hopeful Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m), Satsuki Sho and the Tokyo Yushun the colt has placed himself firmly on course to join Japan’s elite Triple Crown winners.

First for Perfect Power

Darley’s three-time Group 1 winner Perfect Power (Ardad) sired his first winner when Rouhi (2 c Perfect Power - Quartet by Lethal Force) made a winning debut in the Prix d’Orgemont (Maiden, 5.5f) at Chantilly on Sunday. Trained by Alessandro Botti, the 11-1 chance was awkwardly away and raced towards the rear through the early stages before making strong late headway. Rouhi moved into third entering the final furlong and finished powerfully to deny Calyx Express (Calyx) by a short-neck. The colt is the first foal out of Quartet (Lethal Force), a daughter of Prix Penelope (Gr 3, 2100m) winner Humouresque (Pivotal), making her a full-sister to dual stakes-placed Crotchet and a half-sister to Hoppings Stakes (Listed, 1m2f) third Piano (Azamour). Quartet is also a half-sister to the dam of Eternal Stakes (Listed, 7f) runner-up Key To Cotai (Cotai Glory). Perfect Power stands at Dalham Hall Stud for a fee of £7,500 (approx. A$15,700).

Behrayna maintains perfect record

The Aga Khan Studs homebred Behrayna (Sea The Moon) stretched her unbeaten record to three from three with a commanding victory in the Prix de Royaumont (Gr 3, 2400m) at Chantilly on Sunday. Successful in the Prix de la Seine (Listed, 2200m) at ParisLongchamp on her previous start, the three-year-old again proved too strong for Zlata (Zarak), defeating that rival by two lengths after travelling comfortably throughout before quickening clear in the straight. Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard, Behrayna was ridden patiently before asserting her superiority approaching the final furlong. A homebred for the Aga Khan Studs, the daughter of Sea The Moon (Sea The Stars) is out of the Dansili (Danhill) mare Behnasa, making her a half-sister to black-type performers Behtar (Kitten’s Joy) and Benamira (Waldgeist).

Goliath returns to winning form in Chantilly feature

Resolute Bloodstock's Goliath (Adlerflug) returned to the winner's stall with a dominant performance in the Grand Prix de Chantilly (Gr 2, 2400m) on Sunday. Unplaced in three starts since capturing last year's Grosser Preis von Baden (Gr 1, 2400m), the six-year-old travelled comfortably under Christophe Soumillon before looming into contention approaching the straight. The Francis-Henri Graffard-trained gelding cruised to the lead inside the final furlong and was pushed out to score by two lengths from Oracle (Too Darn Hot), with Cualificar (Lope De Vega) a head away in third. The victory provided Goliath with his first success since his Group 1 triumph in Germany last September and reaffirmed his standing among Europe's leading middle-distance performers.

Sajir Too Sharp In Chantilly Sprint

Sajir (IRE) (5h Make Believe – Simple Magic, by Invincible Spirit) returned to winning form with a dominant performance in the Prix du Gros-Chêne (Gr 3, 1000m) at Chantilly on Sunday. Settled at the rear of the five-horse field by Oisin Murphy, the André Fabre-trained sprinter produced a sharp turn of foot inside the final furlong to reel in veteran speedster Ponntos (Power) and score by a length and a quarter, with Moojeed (Dark Angel) a short neck away in third. A Group 1 winner of last year's Prix Maurice de Gheest (1300m), Sajir is by Makfi's (Dubawi) Group 1-winning son Make Believe and is out of the Invincible Spirit (Green Desert )mare Simple Magic, making him a half-brother to Listed winner Nahraan. The victory was his sixth from 15 starts and added another stakes success to an already accomplished sprinting record.

Constitution River Leads Ballydoyle Trifecta In French Derby

Constitution River (Wootton Bassett) confirmed his Classic credentials with a dominant victory in the Prix du Jockey Club (Gr 1, 2100m) at Chantilly on Sunday, leading home an Aidan O'Brien-trained trifecta in the French Derby. The Dee Stakes (Listed,1m 2½ f ) winner had been the subject of considerable debate regarding his ideal Classic target, but O'Brien's decision to sidestep Epsom in favour of Chantilly proved inspired. Drawn awkwardly in stall 15, Ryan Moore was forced to settle the colt wide early before easing across to track stablemates Montreal (Sea The Stars) and Hawk Mountain (Wootton Bassett), who ensured a genuine tempo throughout. The Ballydoyle trio controlled proceedings from the outset and, when Montreal straightened in front, Moore angled Constitution River into the clear. The son of Wootton Bassett (Iffraaj) quickly asserted his superiority, lengthening impressively to put the result beyond doubt and provide O'Brien with another French Derby success.

Naomis springs Sandringham surprise

Naomis (City Light) caused a major upset in the Prix de Sandringham (Gr 2, 1600m) at Chantilly on Sunday, providing trainer Henri-Alex Pantall with a one-four finish in the fillies' feature. Sent off at odds of 20-1, the three-year-old filly surged to the front in the closing stages under Tony Piccone and held off the late challenge of Vaticana (Goken) by three-quarters of a length, with Royal Chapel (Kingman) a further 1.75 lengths away in third. Stablemate and market fancy Pierchic (Palace Pier) finished a close-up fourth. The victory was a significant breakthrough for Naomis, who had previously captured the Prix Aymeri de Mauléon (Listed, 1600m) at Toulouse earlier this year. Bred and raced by the Pantall family, she becomes another stakes win for Haras d'Etreham stallion City Light (Siyouni), who continues to make an impression with his early crops.

Te Akau's David Ellis CNZM Appointed Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2026 King's Birthday Honours

Sir David Ellis and Lady Karyn Ellis (Credit: Supplied)

Te Akau Racing founder David Ellis CNZM has been appointed a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (KNZM) in the 2026 King's Birthday Honours for services to thoroughbred racing and philanthropy. The honour recognises a lifetime of contribution to New Zealand's racing industry, as well as his involvement in farming, philanthropy, and community service.

The appointment is a significant milestone for Ellis, whose career has spanned more than four decades and helped shape New Zealand thoroughbred racing into a globally respected industry. While the honour acknowledges his individual achievements, it also reflects the support and dedication of his wife Karyn Fenton-Ellis MNZM, now Lady Karyn Ellis, alongside Te Akau's owners, staff, industry colleagues, and wider racing community who have shared in the journey.

Ellis has long been recognised as one of the most influential figures in Australasian racing. His knighthood follows a distinguished list of accolades, including being appointed a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2020, receiving the Outstanding Contribution to Racing Award at the Horse of the Year Awards in 2017, and induction into the New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame in 2025.

His story began far from the prestige of Group One victories and racing premierships. In 1971, as a 17-year-old attending Ellerslie on Easter Monday, Ellis watched future Melbourne Cup winner Silver Knight claim the Great Northern St Leger. The experience ignited a fascination with horses and racing that would shape the course of his life.

His first winner came in 1978 when a filly named Magnum won at Paeroa before later succeeding at Ellerslie. Four years later, Ellis attended his first New Zealand National Yearling Sale, a decision that marked the beginning of one of the most remarkable bloodstock careers in Australasian history.

Forty-three consecutive yearling sales later, Ellis has become the most prolific purchaser of thoroughbreds in Australasia. He has invested more than $150 million in New Zealand yearlings and earned an international reputation as one of the world's leading judges of thoroughbred talent.

His rise was built on determination and hard work. In his early years, Ellis worked multiple jobs, including pumping petrol on his days off, to save enough money to purchase his first farm. That investment would eventually lead to the establishment of Te Akau Stud, which has grown into one of New Zealand's premier thoroughbred and agricultural properties. The same passion also drove the creation of Te Akau Racing, which developed into the most successful racing operation in New Zealand history. Today, Te Akau operates from Matamata, Christchurch and Cranbourne in Australia, and previously maintained a successful presence in Singapore.

The statistics behind Te Akau's success are extraordinary. The stable has secured 16 New Zealand Trainers' Premierships, four Singapore Trainers' Premierships, 12 New Zealand Champion Trainer of the Year titles, and four Singapore Champion Trainer of the Year awards. Te Akau-trained horses have won 429 stakes races, including 106 Group One victories, while the stable has amassed 2,938 domestic wins and continues to edge closer to the historic milestone of 3,000 New Zealand victories.

The operation's achievements also include 14 winners of the Group One New Zealand 2000 Guineas and 1000 Guineas over the past 21 years, as well as eight Karaka Million 2YO winners, including seven consecutive victories between 2017 and 2023. Te Akau remains the only stable to complete the Karaka Million 2YO and Karaka Million 3YO double in the same season, achieving the feat in 2020, 2022 and again in 2025.

Across the Tasman, Te Akau horses have won 34 stakes races in Australia since 2017, including 15 Group One victories. Yet for many within the industry, Ellis's greatest contribution cannot be measured solely by statistics.

Former New Zealand Bloodstock Chairman Joe Walls MNZM believes Ellis's influence is most evident in the people he has developed throughout his career.

"David so deserves this honour, for many reasons," said Walls.

"One is that he created and graduated an entire university of racing people, and many of them have gone on to be very successful in their respective racing careers."

Over the years, Te Akau has become a breeding ground for talent across all sectors of the industry. Champion trainer Mark Walker began his career under Ellis's guidance, while former Te Akau trainer Jamie Richards has gone on to establish himself in Hong Kong. Leading jockey Opie Bosson, along with trainers and industry professionals such as Sam Bergerson, Reece Trumper, Hunter Durrant and Ben Gleeson, are among the many who have benefited from the opportunities and mentorship provided through Te Akau.

Walls highlighted the breadth of that influence.

"Champion trainer Mark Walker has had an illustrious training career, employed straight from school by David. Another recent example is Jamie Richards, a young trainer who is now making his path in Hong Kong," Walls said.

"Opie Bosson is another of his great proteges, while Sam Bergerson, Reece Trumper, Hunter Durrant and Ben Gleeson are further examples of the generations of fine young leaders honing their training craft under the Te Akau banner."

Former apprentices including Daniel Stackhouse, Michael Dee and Samantha Collett also emerged through the Te Akau system, reinforcing Ellis's long-held belief in creating opportunities for young people and helping them develop successful careers in racing.

Ellis celebrated his first Group One victory when Cosmetique won the Easter Handicap at Ellerslie in 1986. It proved to be the beginning of a remarkable era. Over the following decades, champions such as Melody Belle, Avantage, Probabeel, Darci Brahma and Imperatriz carried the famous Te Akau colours to success at the highest level, helping establish the stable as one of the premier racing operations in Australasia.

His impact has extended beyond racing results. Ellis has also demonstrated a remarkable ability to identify future stallions, with horses including Darci Brahma, Burgundy, Embellish, Xtravagant, Sword Of State, Cool Aza Beel, Noverre, Move To Strike and Return To Conquer helping shape future generations of thoroughbreds throughout Australasia.

Another notable chapter in his career came through Te Akau Nick, a horse purchased by Ellis and later trained by Australian Hall of Fame trainer Gai Waterhouse. Te Akau Nick delivered Waterhouse's first Group One victory in the Metropolitan Handicap, a result that reinforced Ellis's confidence that New Zealand horses and horsepeople could succeed on the international stage.

Walls believes Ellis's influence on the wider breeding industry has been equally profound.

"David almost single-handedly held the New Zealand National Yearling Sales together over the last 20-plus years, and I was there to see it all happen; without him, it would have been in a sorry state.

"There has been no one like him on the buying bench at the sales over the past 40 years.

"Through COVID, he practically held the sale together on his own. David kept buying horses even when I thought there was no need, but he was driven to do so."

Throughout his career, Ellis has consistently championed New Zealand breeding and racing. Whether supporting breeders, investing at sales, promoting New Zealand-bred horses internationally, or serving on industry boards, his commitment has extended far beyond the success of his own operation. He served on the board of the Waikato Racing Club, including five years as Chairman, earning Life Membership for his contribution. He also held positions with the New Zealand Racing Conference and New Zealand Thoroughbred Marketing.

“

Those of us who have closely observed the growth of Te Akau Racing didn't realise just how significant and important David's dedication to the thoroughbred industry would become, and how he could sustain the positive impact for so long and create such an impressive legacy

Joe Walls

Beyond racing, Ellis and Lady Karyn have become widely respected for their philanthropic efforts. Together they support numerous community initiatives and charities and serve as proud Patrons of EquiPotential.

Reflecting on Ellis's broader legacy, Walls noted the scale of what has been achieved.

"Those of us who have closely observed the growth of Te Akau Racing didn't realise just how significant and important David's dedication to the thoroughbred industry would become, and how he could sustain the positive impact for so long and create such an impressive legacy.

"He has done a hell of a lot of good things for the industry, and a lot also outside of racing, and he has done a lot for farming, building his farm up from nothing - creating a model farm from meagre beginnings - he wasn't born into it and did it all on his own from scratch."

Today, Te Akau Stud stands among New Zealand's leading farming and breeding properties, while Te Akau Racing continues to set new standards of excellence across the industry. Ellis's journey from a young racing enthusiast at Ellerslie to Hall of Fame inductee and now Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit reflects a lifetime defined by vision, resilience, determination and an unwavering passion for thoroughbred racing.

His knighthood recognises not only an extraordinary record of achievement, but also the enduring contribution he has made to the industry, the people within it, and the wider New Zealand community.

Hong Kong News

Legend Zac Purton becomes first to ride 2,000 winners in Hong Kong

Zac Purton broke new ground at Sha Tin this afternoon (Sunday, 31 May) as the Australian became the first jockey to ride 2,000 winners in Hong Kong, reaching the milestone aboard Rising World (Nicconi) (121lb) in the Hong Kong Wu Hua General Association Cup Plate (1200m) for Griffins.

Breaking swiftly from barrier 10 on Brett Crawford’s two-year-old debutant, the eight-time Hong Kong Champion Jockey attained the phenomenal landmark on his 11,229th ride in the city, finishing a short-head in front of Almighty Warrior (Saxon Warrior) (126lb) in 1m 09.74s.

“At least I’m not going to have to go home tonight and listen to Cash say ‘why didn’t you have a winner today, Daddy?’, so we’ve had the winner and he’s got the trophy – so it’s job done,” Purton said.

Purton, 43, is from Lismore, Australia and moved to Hong Kong in 2007. He rode his first winner at Happy Valley in September, 2007 aboard Elfhelm (Perugino). Since then, he’s won riding titles in 2013/14, 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25, surpassed the 100-win mark in a season 10 times and, holds single-season records for wins (179) and earnings (HK$277,712,060) – both attained in 2022/23.

An Australian Racing Hall of Famer and all-time great of Hong Kong racing, Purton’s win strike rate in Hong Kong exceeds 17% across his career. He said: “It is (a wonderful achievement) when I reflect back upon it and look at some of those great moments that I’ve had in my career. It truly is amazing.

“I’ve been very fortunate and, of course, I couldn’t do anything without the support that I get from the owners, trainers, and Hong Kong’s been such a great place for me.”

Purton has won the BMW Hong Kong Derby (Gr 1, 2000m) – Hong Kong’s most sought-after prize – with Luger (Choisir) (2015) and Massive Sovereign (No Nay Never) (2024), and after Gary Moore and Noel Barker, he is only the third Australian to win a riding championship in Hong Kong.

Purton’s career began as a fresh-faced apprentice in Coffs Harbour with trainer Trevor Hardy some 30 years ago. He rode his first winner, Magic Zap (Zephyr Zip), at Armidale in Australia on 6 May, 2000 before his move to Hong Kong as a 24-year-old.

His first elite-level win in Hong Kong was for Paul O’Sullivan on Fellowship (O'Reilly) in the 2010 HKG1 Stewards’ Cup (Gr 1, 1600m). Purton, who is admired for his hard work, captivated the racing scene with famed tussles against great championship rivals Douglas Whyte – who Purton surpassed as the jockey with the most Hong Kong wins when he rode his 1,814th last year – and ‘Magic Man’ Joao Moreira.

Whyte and Moreira are the only other jockeys in Hong Kong racing history to ride more than 1,000 winners. Purton’s renowned for associations with Beauty Generation (Road To Rock), Exultant (Teofilo), Aerovelocity (Pins), Ambitious Dragon (Pins), Southern Legend (Not A Single Doubt), Lucky Sweynesse (Sweynesse), Military Attack (Oratorio) and more, while nine-time Group 1 winner Ka Ying Rising (Shamexpress) tops them all, he says.

“Ka Ying Rising has been very big, of course; he stands atop. The association I had with Beauty Generation, I really enjoyed that. Aerovelocity – going to Japan and winning there with him was fantastic. There’s so many horses – I could stand here all day and name them all but there’s been a fair few Horse of the Years that I’ve been able to throw my leg over and it’s made it a lot easier,” Purton said.

Exultant’s 2020 FWD QEII Cup (Gr 1, 2000m) success saw Purton become the only jockey to have won all 12 Group 1 races in Hong Kong racing’s calendar. He is also a three-time LONGINES International Jockeys’ Championship winner in 2017, 2020 and 2021.

Purton won the Group 1 The Everest (1200m), Group 1 LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint (1200m), Group 1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m), Group 1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) and Group 1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m) with Ka Ying Rising this term, while Voyage Bubble (Deep Field) provided him with a fifth Group 1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) score after Ambitious Dragon (2012), Beauty Only (Holy Roman Emperor) (2016), Beauty Generation (2018) and California Spangle (Starspangledbanner) (2022).

“To come here and not have the red carpet rolled out for me; I had to work for everything that I have got and that wasn’t easy to stay determined, resilient and keep turning up, and everything that comes with that to be standing here today – it makes it, obviously, feel like it’s all been worthwhile and obviously it has. I’ve had to work for it,” Purton said.
