A softer market outlook has seen Widden Stud reduce their
2020 stallion fees by an average of 20 per cent as they look to
support their long-standing clients and loyal breeders.
Widden’s 12-strong roster is headed by flagbearer
Zoustar (Northern Meteor) and sees the introduction of his son Zousain
to the market.
“I think it’s where we are across the board,” Widden Stud owner-
proprietor Antony Thompson told ANZ Bloodstock News yesterday. “We saw
early signs of it at Inglis Easter, and I think we’ll see some more adjustments as
we get into the mare sales and other pointers going forward. I think it’s a year
to be conservative. You’re seeing that across all walks of life and I think a 20
per cent reduction in our service fees is in line with what’s happening today.
“I think it’s a good way to repay the breeders who have been so
supportive of our stallions and hopefully we continue to get their support.
I feel we have something for everyone in our line-up.
“We are the only nation to have been able to continue a widespread
racing program that has allowed our major autumn carnivals to proceed
and we achieved a world first in being able to trade our premium yearlings
at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale in a virtual online format.
“Our stallions are priced this year to put breeders back on track after a
very challenging period for all of us.”
Zoustar will once again headline the Widden roster, standing at a
reduced fee of $121,000 (all GST inclusive), down 21 per cent on his fee
last season of $154,000. However, it is twice his 2018 service fee of $60,500
and comes after a season in which his best daughter Sunlight continued
to perform at the highest level. She is set to start favourite in tomorrow’s
TAB Classic (registered as Robert Sangster Stakes) (Gr 1, 1200m) at
Morphettville.

“Zoustar’s credentials and statistics
are phenomenal,” he said. “With his best books to come now, if you’re
going to be breeding to him, you’re in a position where you can really
capitalise on what’s happening. He’s had another great season, not only
on the track but in the sales ring too. On the track, he’s had six Group
winners, he’s had 13 stakes winners, he’s doing it all.”
Zoustar is currently in the UK, standing at David Redvers’ Tweenhills
Stud alongside other horses to have carried the Qatar Racing claret and gold
of Sheikh Fahad Al Thani and his brothers, like Charm Spirit (Invincible
Spirit), Havana Gold (Teofilo), Hot Streak (Iffraaj) and Lightning Spear
(Pivotal). He is serving his second season in Gloucestershire, with his first
European foals receiving plenty of plaudits.
“It would be an added string to our bow if we could have success in
Europe with Zoustar,” Thompson said. “I know personally we’d get a lot
of satisfaction. He’s a horse I have enormous belief in and I think he can
work in Europe. The idea that he’s been so popular in Europe gives us
great confidence going forward.
“It doesn’t really change what happens to him down here in the
marketplace. His statistics show him to be a phenomenal young stallion.
The fact that he’s getting such a great opportunity up there at Tweenhills,
covering his second full book this year, is very exciting for us as well.”
Zoustar’s son Zousain retires to Widden Stud this season and will start
at a fee of $19,800. Zousain was a nose away in three Group 1 races - the J
J Atkins (Gr 1, 1600m), the Golden Rose (Gr 1, 1400m) and the Coolmore
Stud Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) - and victory in any one of those races sees him
commencing his stud career off a higher mark.
“I think Zousain is great value if you look at his career in context,”
Thompson said. “He was a bob of the head off winning three Group 1s
and in three big sire-making races too - in the J J Atkins as a two-year-old
and in the Golden Rose and the Coolmore as a three-year-old. It took two
champions to beat him in Sunlight and The Autumn Sun.
“He’s a very good-looking
horse and a great option. And
there is the option for a lifetime
breeding right for those who send
two mares to Zousain the first
three years. They have proven very
popular in the past, we did it with
Written By last year and we’ll do
it for a limited number of good
breeders with Zousain.”
Three-time Group 1 winner
Trapeze Artist (Snitzel) and Blue
Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m)
conqueror Written By (Written
Tycoon) will serve their second books in 2020, having served full books at
their first attempt last year. Trapeze Artist is down 12.5 per cent to $77,000,
while Written By has been reduced by 11 per cent to $22,000.
“Last year, Trapeze Artist and Written By were very well-patronised
and we were happy with the support they received,” Thompson said.

by any means, they both had full books,
but it’s a consequence of what is happening currently and as a way to
repay the breeders. Off the back of good books last year, there could be
some good opportunities for breeders as they prepare for their second
season.”
On a day in which his son Nature Strip was announced as the first
runner in this year’s The Everest (1200m) in October, Nicconi’s (Bianconi)
fee was reduced by almost 29 per cent, dropping to $27,500. His long-term
companion at Widden Stud, Star Witness (Starcraft), has been reduced
20 per cent to $22,000.
“Nicconi and Star Witness are proven options and they are great
value, especially if you are looking for a proven stallion,” he said. “I think
they have the runs on the board, they are Group 1 stallions and they are
sure to be popular.
“Nicconi has always had terrific
statistics, a great strike rate of
winners to runners, and so many
lovely horses and we’ve always
had plenty of time for him. We
believed he’d get that star and
he’s certainly done that in Nature

the world and a leading contender

V ictoria’s premier stallion Written Tycoon (Iglesia) and
dual Group 1 winner Castelvecchio (Dundeel) will help
Arrowfield Stud offset the loss of grand servant Not A
Single Doubt (Redoute’s Choice) and the absence of its
Japanese shuttle stallions.
Arrowfield Stud, in conjunction with Woodside Park Stud, yesterday
confirmed that Written Tycoon would relocate to the Hunter Valley to
continue his successful stallion career while John Messara also announced
the immediate retirement of three-year-old Castelvecchio.
The Richard Litt-trained Castelvecchio, who won the ATC Champagne
Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) at two and returned to finish runner-up in the Cox
Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) and take out the Rosehill Guineas (Gr 1, 2000m) this
autumn, was slated to race on as a four-year-old.
But Messara, the Arrowfield Stud principal, cited the ongoing and
significant effect of Covid-19 as the reason for Castelvecchio heading to
the breeding barn later this year with a $33,000 (all GST inclusive) service
fee.
“We’ve had that twice now
where we’ve had three-year-olds
who were going on to conquer
the world (The Autumn Sun and
Castelvecchio) and we’ve had to
put them here to work because
of the premature death or we’ve
had other stallions taken out of
service,” he said.
“We invested in those horses
as long-term stallions but in both
cases it’s happened earlier than I
would have hoped.
“We had a jockey lined up in Craig Williams. Our trainer had a stable
worked out at Flemington for the Cox Plate … but he will get a second-to-
none chance this year of any first season sire because he gets all those mares
who are Danehill line and we’ve got over 300 mares here that we own.”
Not A Single Doubt, the sire of this year’s Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr
1, 1200m) winner Farnan, was pensioned earlier this year after it became
apparent he would not be able to complete a 16th covering season this
year owing to pulmonary disease, an outcome that led to Messara to chase
Written Tycoon and retire Castelvecchio.
Castelvecchio’s own sire Dundeel (High Chaparral) will remain at a
fee of $66,000 this year.
Messara said that the deal to bring Written Tycoon to NSW under an
initial one-year agreement had been in the works for a number of weeks
and as a result he expects him to be very popular with breeders.
No equity has been sold in the horse, with major shareholders
Woodside Park and Iskander Racing and Breeding committed to sending
a full complement of mares to Written Tycoon this year. He will stand for
$77,000.
“It’s the first of what could be more deals with Woodside in Melbourne.
We might have a horse that might suit their market and this horse certainly
suited us here and particularly a lot of mares we are going to support him
with,” he said.

“It’s good for everybody concerned
and I just thought that our proposition appealed to Woodside and it
represented the opening of a potential longer-term relationship between
the two farms, so I think that was attractive.”
Woodside Park Stud chief executive James Price was in no doubt
Written Tycoon - whose sire sons Capitalist, Written By and Winning
Rupert also reside in the Hunter Valley - would be well received by
commercial breeders.
“Outside I Am Invincible, he is probably the best outcross stallion we
have in this country,” he said.
“When you run second to I Am Invincible in those stakes I think you are
doing pretty well. That is obviously why John targeted him and he approached
us and we did the deal. There’s only upside for everyone, I can assure you.”
Meanwhile Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice), a probable favourite to land
his fourth straight champion sire title this year, will stand at $165,000, a
reflection of the economic conditions rather than his on-track success.
“It looks like he could win the title again this year. He is $250,000
ahead and that will make it four years in a row which will be the first time
this has happened since Danehill 25 years ago. It’s a great feat and he just
goes about his work in a very modest and humble manner,” Messara said.
“The two years sandwiched between year one and year four being his
year, they were years where his prize-money was affected by The Everest
and Redzel. You couldn’t say that in year one and you couldn’t say that
now, so he is doing it under all circumstances.”
Messara argued that Snitzel, who is in a championship battle with I Am
Invincible (Invincible Spirit) and Pierro (Lonhro) this season, had achieved
greatness despite being limited to a small segment of the mare pool.
“The interesting thing that nobody has really cottoned on to is because
he’s a dominant Danehill representative, he can’t really serve most of the
mares from that sire line,” he said.
“He is missing out on so many stakes
winners and great mares who otherwise
would have come to him. He’s one of those
horses who has had to do it without having
access to the elite mare population because
he’s by Redoute’s who’s by Danehill. It’s
amazing.”
Arrowfield Stud has Redoute’s Choice’s son Pariah entering his third
season this year, while a son of Snitzel, Showtime, enters his second year.
Shalaa (Invincible Spirit), who remains at $33,000, will also shuttle
for a fourth season from Europe this year, but Arrowfield’s Japanese
experiment has been put on hold for 12 months due to the coronavirus
pandemic.
Maurice (Screen Hero), Mikki Isle (Deep Impact) and Real Steel (Deep
Impact) will all remain in Japan this year but Messara was adamant that they
would return next year, should the Covid-19 crisis subside.
Messara, who withdrew Arrowfield’s Inglis Australian Easter Yearling
Sale draft last month as the seriousness of the pandemic started to hit to
instead offer them privately, was mindful of setting service fees that would
enable breeders to remain profitable.
“The quality of mares we get here and the end of the market we trade
in, I think breeders will continue to (send their mares to stud) after all they
will be looking at selling the produce in three years’ time,” he said.
“It’s another world now to what it was last year and it will be another
world in three years’ time. You’ve got to try and look forward.”
On Arrowfield’s 60-lot draft of yearlings who were initially set for the
Easter sale, Messara said: “We have sold two thirds of them for about 25
per cent above the sale average (of $306,290) which is not that different to
normal years for us.
“We averaged that. It was OK, but it’s not brilliant, and we’ve still got a
number of horses to sell like most breeders.”

Standing at Kelvinside, NSW
By Tim Rowe
Woodside Park Stud sees its alliance with Arrowfield
Stud and the relocation of Written Tycoon as a sound
long-term play that could help boost the Victorian
farm and the state’s breeding industry’s sire power.
The Mark Rowsthorn-owned, Tylden-based stud, hours after the
confirmation of Written Tycoon’s move, confirmed a four-stallion roster
for the upcoming season with the promise of a potential addition in the
coming weeks.
Group 1 winner Tosen Stardom, by Japan’s late champion stallion
Deep Impact (Sunday Silence), will stand for $12,100 (all including GST),
last season’s recruit Foxwedge (Fastnet Rock) will stand for $11,000 while
shuttler Cable Bay (Invincible Spirit) ($9,900) and promising young
stallion Rich Enuff (Written Tycoon) ($8,800) round out Woodside Stud’s
2020 roster.
Woodside Park Stud chief executive James Price said the farm was
undertaking a long-term strategy to ensure breeders were able to get their
mares in foal this year during an economic slump when determining their
service fees for this year.
“To be fair, I don’t think studmasters have taken into account the
impact Covid is going to have.
This is not a six-month thing,
especially here in Victoria,”
Price told ANZ Bloodstock News
yesterday.
“Up to 40 per cent of (the
state’s) breeders are hobbyists
and, as we know, when there’s
economic downturns the first
thing to go are luxury items.
Racehorses are a luxury item, so
it’s the stallion farms who must
keep broodmare owners breeding.
If they don’t have broodmare owners, there’s no point in them having
stallions.”
Price added: “It has been a very fruitful decade for the industry and it’s
now time to support everyone. With our fees, we really think we’ve hit the
mark and that will allow people to keep breeding.”
The respected Price, a former Inglis employee who said Woodside
Park Stud was currently attempting to add another stallion to its 2020
roster, also made the case that Written Tycoon’s departure from Victoria
would benefit the stallion’s supporters.
“As CEO of any company, you have to do what is right by the owner
of the farm and the shareholders of the stallion and the figures certainly
worked out that this was the best opportunity for him,” he said.
“I think it would be short-sighted of people to say that it was a blow to
Victoria. We have entered into a new alliance with Arrowfield which we
think will be very, very good for Written Tycoon in the immediate future
but also hopefully it leads to more opportunities for Woodside and with
those opportunities it will only benefit Victoria.
“Arrowfield are the best in the business and by no means have we or
Victoria lost Written Tycoon. He is simply standing at Arrowfield for the 2020
season and let’s hope in the future that it’s not a ‘loss’ for Victoria, it’s actually
a gain in (terms of) what Victoria might receive.”

Rich Enuff, whose first crop two-year-
olds were conceived in Queensland, has sired two winners in the past
week and while Price is a realist he is encouraged by the start the stallion
has made with his progeny on the track.
“I think of the second season sires in the yearling sale ring, buyers
can very quickly drop off them and we didn’t see that with Rich Enuff this
year,” he said.
“People still wanted to buy them, so that is an excellent tick that
trainers are liking their stock.
“They’re not early, early types and they are needing a little bit of time,
whether they go shin sore or they just need to mature, but they still like them.
“I think towards the back-end of the two-year-old season and
certainly into their early three-year-old careers he might start giving us
and breeders a nice reward.”
Cable Bay’s first crop Australian-bred foals are due to race next season
and Price was also optimistic that his stock could also
make an early impression.
After an initial doubt about Cable
Bay shuttling in 2019, he said the travel
restrictions caused by the coronavirus
would not prevent the stallion from
returning to Australia this year.
“We are constantly in touch with
International Racehorse Transport and they are being very, very
supportive and constantly keeping us updated,” he said.
“Planes look like they are going to be flying to bring stallions out for
our season. There’s no reason to doubt that Cable Bay won’t be here and
he will stand for a fee of $9,900.”
The potential new acquisition, Price said, underlined Woodside’s
commitment for the Victorian industry.
“We are still looking at another horse and we will hopefully have a
decision about an offer we have made on this horse in a week or so,” he
said.
“We are certainly looking to reinvest and it’s all guns blazing in terms
of Woodside Park being a commercial stallion operation in years to come
in Victoria.”

Minnaloushe) took out the two-year-old
handicap (1200m) at Wagga. Trained by John
O’Shea, the gelding defeated Another One
(Super One) by three-quarters of a length. Lion’s
Roar was purchased for $65,000 by Champion
Thoroughbreds out of the Wellfield Lodge draft
at last year’s New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka
Yearling Sale and is the second winner from
three to race out of four-time winner Minnaleo.
His second dam is Avondale Gold Cup (Gr 1,
2200m) winner The Mighty Lions (Grosvenor),
who also produced Group 3 winner Vaquera
(High Chaparral). Contributer won the
Chipping Norton Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) and
Ranvet Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) in 2015 and was
crowned Champion Miler in Australia in 2014-
15. He stood at Mapperley Stud in New Zealand
for NZ$12,500 (plus GST) in 2019.
Webster extends Inglis termMark Webster has agreed to terms to extend
his tenure as Inglis Managing Director for
a further three years. He will remain in the
role until at least the end of 2023, which will
take his time in the position to 16 years. “It
has been a privilege to serve as the Inglis
Managing Director since 2007 and I am
delighted to extend my term to assist the
company through these challenging times
and to implement a number of new growth
opportunities,’’ Webster said. “With the
support of a dedicated and progressive board
of directors and a first-class management
team, I am enthusiastic to be serving the
racing and breeding industry into the future.
Innovation has been a priority during my
tenure and I can assure our customers there
is more to come.’’
Nature Strip secured for EverestAustralia's top sprinter Nature Strip (Nicconi)
has secured his spot in The Everest (1200m)
and will represent the TAB, which has posted
him as the $4 favourite. The four-time Group
1 winner, who finished fourth in the race last
year, is trained by Chris Waller and won the TJ
Smith Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) at his most recent
start. "It's really exciting to partner with TAB
who have been supporters of The Everest for
a long time. I'm confident the learnings from
Nature Strip competing in The Everest last year
will go a long way in 2020," Waller said. "With
this partnership in place, we can now build a
plan for the remainder of the year to give us the
best possible chance of success."
Boomer and Daandine combine for Inglis Digital sales topperThe largest catalogue in Inglis Digital’s
history concluded last night with a record
gross of $4.14 million and 420 lots sold, for
a clearance rate of 77 per cent. The April
Online Sale was topped by Kingstar Farm-
consigned mare Conducir (Magic Albert),
offered in foal to Capitalist (Written Tycoon)
and bought by Boomer Bloodstock/Daandine
Stud for $170,000. “It was a fantastic result
to purchase Conducir for Daandine Stud,”
Boomer Bloodstock’s Craig Rounsefell said.
“The information provided via the Inglis
Digital Online platform and the transparency
of vendor Kingstar Farm ensured my client
had the confidence to make the purchase.
I was on the phone to Daandine Stud’s
principal Jan Clark throughout the final hour
of the sale as we exchanged bids with our
competition, before coming out on top at
$170,000.”
Stokes chasing third Australasian OaksPhillip Stokes will be watching from interstate
when Selica (Makfi) strives to give the trainer
his third win in the Australasian Oaks (Gr
1, 2000m) at Morphettville. Stokes won the
Oaks in 2006 with Marju Snip (Marju), his
first Group 1 win as a trainer, and added a
second Oaks seven years later with Maybe
Discreet (Shamardal). Selica had the first
three starts of her preparation in Melbourne,
while her past two starts have been a luckless
ninth in the Port Adelaide Guineas (Listed,
1800m) and a second to Silent Sovereign
(Dalakhani) in the Auraria Stakes (Gr 3,
1800m). "She's had a good campaign leading
into this," Stokes said. "I thought her run the
other day was very good. Through no fault of
the jockey (apprentice Kayla Crowther) she
just got there a bit soon. She will handle the
step up to 2000 metres and if it's wet she will
handle that too.”

Sierra Sue set for Oaks assignment
Connections of exciting filly Sierra Sue (Darci
Brahma) are hoping the New Zealand-bred
three-year-old can continue her near-perfect
formline when she contests the Australasian
Oaks tomorrow. The Trent Busuttin and Natalie
Young-trained filly has won three of her four
career starts, with her only blemish coming
when she finished runner-up over 1600 metres
two starts back. Part-owner John O’Neill has
been thrilled with her performances and is
buoyed by Busuttin’s confidence heading into
tomorrow’s race. “Trent has always had a big
rap on the horse. I know she has worked really
well and he seems really happy with the horse,”
O’Neill said. “I know Trent is pretty confident
and the last time he was this confident was
when he was talking to me about Tagaloa prior
to the Blue Diamond.”
Street Icon chases Sangster successAfter flashing home from last to finish second
in the VOBIS Gold Sprint (1200m) last start,
the Kevin Corstens-trained Street Icon (Street
Boss) will take her chance in the TAB Classic
(registered as Robert Sangster Stakes) (Gr
1, 1200m) at Morphettville tomorrow. "She
should have nearly won the race owing to the
fact when Tom (Stockdale, jockey) snagged her
she overreacted and went right out the back,"
Corstens said. “And when you're racing against
horses like Pippie that scoot along, she gave
them too much of a start. There were Group
races in mind for her towards the end of the
autumn and I was hoping to take her up to
Queensland, but that wasn't going to be at all
easy. Plus I know a lot more people in South
Australia, so Adelaide won out."
Bella Vella deserves Group 1 opportunityAdelaide trainer Will Clarken believes his
stakes-winning mare Bella Vella (Commands)
deserves her chance at the highest level and
will contest tomorrow’s TAB Classic. Since
joining Clarken’s stable last year, the five-year-
old has won five of ten starts, including the Hills
Railway Stakes (Listed, 1000m) at her last start.
"The six furlongs is a bit of a query, but we've
changed her work around and hopefully we can
stretch her a little further," Clarken told Racing.
com. "We know she is very quick, which is her
main attribute, but I'm confident she will relax
in the run." Clarken will also be represented
by Everyday Lady (Charge Forward) in the
feature sprint for fillies and mares. "Her work
was terrific on Tuesday morning and even from
the gate she can run a cheeky race,” he said of
Everyday Lady.
Snowdens eye off J J Atkins for WildThe Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) came
up too soon for Peter and Paul Snowden’s
Inglis Nursery (RL, 1000m) winner Wild Ruler
(Snitzel), so the colt has been targeted at the J
J Atkins Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) in Brisbane and
will begin his campaign in the Cellarbrations
Handicap (1000m) on the Kensington track at
Randwick tomorrow. "It wasn't quite the right
fit for him," Peter Snowden said of the Golden
Slipper. "We always had it in our minds to go to
Brisbane. Under the circumstances it is a little
bit harder, but it was always our intention to
bring him back a bit later. He is a bit light and
immature but he has certainly furnished with
the break he had and there is a lot more of him
now than what there was early in the piece. If
he's good enough he will get his opportunity."
O’Shea to step up post-carnivalThe next phase of John O'Shea's stable rebuild
is being rolled out in the coming weeks as he
targets some of the better off-season races with a
progressive group of horses. He did not have the
firepower to feature during the Sydney autumn
carnival, so the former Godolphin trainer has
adjusted his targets and will unveil several of
his up-and-coming brigade in the weeks ahead.
Among them are fillies Intrepidacious (Shooting
To Win) and Rocha Clock (Pierro), who line up
in separate races at the Kensington meeting
tomorrow. "I didn't have any horses that were
fundamentally good enough to participate
during the autumn carnival so I just targeted
everything to be coming on post-carnival,"
O'Shea said. "Consequently, we've got some
nice horses coming through. Unfortunately,
we haven't drawn the best barriers but all the
runners are in very good order and I couldn't be
happier with them."
Minervini ready to make mark after moveHe might have underestimated the challenges
of relocating to a new state but former South
Australian trainer Mark Minervini has no regrets
about his move to Newcastle. In a sign Minervini
has found his feet, the trainer will have his
first Saturday metropolitan runners from his
Newcastle base at this weekend's Kensington
meeting. French Response (Dalakhani), a mare
bought online as an unraced three-year-old,
tackles the Coolmore Handicap (1800m), while
Calipari (Written Tycoon) lines up in the Sky
Racing Active Handicap (1000m). Both rise in
grade but the decision to test them in Sydney has
not been made lightly. "I'm normally a bit hesitant
but I don't think it's unrealistic. I think both horses
are reasonably placed," Minervini said.
Derby start hinges on Sandown performanceColin Little will decide whether to press on
towards next week’s South Australian Derby
(Gr 1, 2500m) with Vegas Knight (Declaration
of War) based on how the Bill Stutt Stakes (Gr 2,
1600m) runner-up performs in the Honouring
Victoria Police Handicap (2100m) at Sandown
tomorrow. Little planned to start Vegas
Knight last week at Morphettville but that was
abandoned after the gelding returned a poor
blood count. To compound Little's woes he has
been unable to engage a Derby jockey for Vegas
Knight. "I wanted to run in Adelaide last week
but he had a little setback and now we are faced
with the situation of running a week out from
the Derby without a (Derby) rider in place,"
Little said. “Anyway we'll see how we go on
Saturday and then make a decision after that."

Harbour Views to tackle Buffalo River
Matthew Williams has conceded his lightly-
raced gelding Harbour Views (Le Havre) might
struggle to beat fellow progresive horse Buffalo
River (Noble Mission), who has won four of his
five starts in Australia, when the pair clash in a
1400-metre handicap at Sandown tomorrow. "It
will be a tough task as I have a lot of respect for
Buffalo River," Williams told RSN927 yesterday. "I
had a horse in the race that he won at Caulfield
and he was very good there the way he did it
the hard way and just kept going. He's obviously
going to be a hard-fit horse and we're going there
on Saturday knowing that a run will help us."
The Astrologist entered for Sandown returnOff the scene since finishing second to the
talented Rubisaki (Rubick) at Flemington last
season, three-year-old The Astrologist (Zoustar)
is poised to make his return to competition in a
1200-metre handicap at Sandown tomorrow. Co-
trainer Tony McEvoy said The Astrologist had had
a couple of minor setbacks since he last raced but
the trainer is happy with the gelding, although he
might be vulnerable first-up on a heavy track after
a lengthy lay-off. "He had a pulled muscle and he's
had a sore foot, so just a combination of things,"
McEvoy said. "But it looks to all be behind him
now which is good. He is a talented horse, there's
no doubt about that. I took him to Queensland for
the Magic Millions, that's what he was showing to
me, and he couldn't put it together up there. But
he's always had ability."
Brisbane joins Seven’s national race coverageQueensland will join a national free-to-air
coverage of racing on the Seven Network
during its winter racing. But negotiations for
Sky Racing's premier station to show Brisbane
full-time on free-to-air television have stalled.
It means there will be two separate programs
showing the four winter meetings - Sky Racing
and the Seven Network, which announced
yesterday it would show Melbourne and
Adelaide racing in coming weeks with Brisbane
joining later for four days of its carnival. The
Brisbane meetings to be shown will be on May
23, May 30, June 6 and June 13. "With racegoers
unable to attend some of the traditional
highlights on the Queensland racing calendar
such as the Stradbroke, we wanted to showcase
our product across the nation to as many
people as possible," Racing Queensland chief
executive Brendan Parnell said.
Wisdom Of Water to return at Gold CoastThe Toby and Trent Edmonds-trained Wisdom
Of Water (Headwater), who was last seen
finishing fourth in the Magic Millions 2YO
Classic (RL, 1200m), will return to the races
at the Gold Coast today. "He has always had a
heap of raw ability and he has come back from
a spell a stronger horse," Trent Edmonds said.
"But for all that I still reckon there is plenty of
improvement in him. I think you will see an
even better horse as a three-year-old.” Wisdom
Of Water is being aimed at the Ken Russell
Memorial (Listed, 1200m) or Champagne
Classic (Listed, 1200m) before a tilt at the J J
Atkins Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) on June 6. "Like
everyone else we are waiting to see if there are
any changes to travel restrictions," Edmonds
said. “The main thing is we all obey the
biosecurity regulations whatever they may be."
The Odyssey to overcome tricky barrierKelly Schweida hopes a big weight advantage
can help The Odyssey (Better Than Ready)
overcome a tricky barrier as the gelding moves
closer to becoming a millionaire. The gelding
has earned $920,000 from his seven wins and
four placings from 16 starts and in a typical
three-year-old handicap would carry about
62 kilograms. With apprentice Stephanie
Thornton's 1.5-kilogram claim, The Odyssey
will carry 56.5 kilograms under the conditions
of tomorrow’s 3YO Plate (1200m) at Doomben.
Schweida knows that is a big plus but is still
worried by barrier seven. "There are a couple
speedy horses drawn inside him which can
make it hard from there," Schweida said. "These
three-year-olds are usually the best races in
Brisbane each week and this one is no different.
But on his form he does look well placed. His
form is good at the track and distance and he is
one a bit of rain won't hurt."
Winning is uncomplicated for KendrickCaloundra trainer Stuart Kendrick may reach
900 career wins this weekend with his filly
Uncomplicated (Akeed Mofeed) leading the
way at Doomben. Kendrick posted his 64th
winner of the season and his 897th overall when
All To Do (All Too Hard) won at the Sunshine
Coast on Wednesday. He will saddle eight
runners at the Sunshine Coast on Friday night
and four at Doomben. The addition of blinkers
is hoped to improve Uncomplicated, who lines
up in the QTIS 2YO (1350m) at Doomben,
after a solid effort last time out when third to
Sizzlepel (Sizzling) last Friday. “She should be
able to race closer to the pace. You are no hope
if you give away a huge start at Doomben and
especially in a two-year-old race,” Kendrick
said. “She really has a big finish and there does
look to be some pace in the race.”
Thornton approaches milestoneApprentice Stephanie Thornton has a strong
book of rides at Doomben in a bid to chase
another career milestone. Thornton is on the
cusp of joining an elite group of apprentice
jockeys to have outridden their metropolitan
claim. Her win on Just Orm (Falvelon) at the
Sunshine Coast last Saturday was her 79th win
at a city meeting, leaving her just one win short
of losing her 1.5 kilogram claim. Thornton has
experienced plenty of success since arriving
from Victoria last year on temporary loan to
trainer Steve O’Dea of Eagle Farm. “Every
apprentice wants to outride their allowance
and moving here has been terrific,” she said.
Thornton has ridden 205 winners in total - 45
metropolitan winners in her adopted state, 33
in Victoria and one in Adelaide.

Irish Songs gives Goldman Wagga Town PlateFour-year-old Irish Songs (Shamus Award)
fulfilled a long time ambition for his trainer
Kurt Goldman by winning the $160,000 Wagga
Town Plate (1200m). Goldman was confident
of his gelding’s chances and he did not
disappoint, sprinting to a one and a quarter
length win on the heavy track. “I snuck into
this racecourse when I was about 17 years old,
underage,” Goldman told Sky Thoroughbred
Central. “I’ll admit it. I was drinking. I was
gambling. I was running through the betting
ring thinking I knew everything. It’s the only
race I’ve ever wanted to win. People say, what’s
the one race? And this Town Plate is something
I’ve been chasing for 16 years. I’ve never had a
runner in it. We thought about putting Eckstein
(I Am Invincible) here. We had Hellbent (I Am
Invincible) one year, we could easily have gone
down that path. But I knew I had the right horse
today.”
Weight fails to halt The Harrovian North Queensland’s top horse The Harrovian
(Fastnet Rock) shouldered 67 kilograms to
victory in a 1400-metre open handicap at
Cairns yesterday. The Stephen Massingham-
trained six-year-old has won nine of 11 starts
since moving north, including a trio of $150,000
races; the Townsville Cup (2000m), Cairns Cup
(2100m) and Cairns Amateur Cup (2100m).
Conceding at least 11.5 kilograms to the rest
of the field, The Harrovian never looked in
too much doubt, defeating Via Balciano (I Am
Invincible) by a length and a half.
Strong entries for two-day Bool carnivalThe all-jumps program to open the condensed
Warrnambool carnival has attracted strong
entries in six races. The May three-day
carnival has been shortened this year due to
Covid-19 restrictions and opens on Tuesday
featuring the Grand Annual Steeplechase
(5500m), Australia’s longest race. Gold Medals
(Elvstroem) and Zed Em (Zed), who shared the
quinella in the last two runnings of the race, are
at the top of the weights. Zed Em is up three
kilograms on last year’s win to 73 kilograms and
Gold Medals, the 2018 winner, meets Zed Em a
kilogram and a half better off than when second
last year on 69.5 kilograms. Both are also
entered in the Brierly Steeplechase (3450m),
which received 23 entries - 16 of whom are
also entered in the Grand Annual. Day two on
Wednesday is an all-flat program, featuring the
Warrnambool Cup (Listed, 2350m), which has
attracted 30 nominations.
Chatswood Stud announce feesChatswood Stud have reduced their service fees
for 2020 in a response to market forces. Reward
For Effort (Exceed And Excel) will stand his
tenth season at a fee of $11,000 (inc GST). The
sire of 113 individual winners in 2018/19, he
appears on track to reach another three-figure
tally this season. Inference (So You Think), who
covered over 100 mares in his second season,
will stand for $6,600 (inc GST). Greg Willis of
Chatswood Stud said: “This will obviously be a
challenging season for our industry. Chatswood
has built a client base by standing stallions
for 49 years and I hope these fee reductions
help keep breeders motivated enough to keep
doing what they love. Both Reward For Effort
and Inference have never covered less than
100 mares per season and I am confident their
value will ensure that remains the case in 2020.”
Vale Diane NeylonPedigree expert Diane Neylon was farewelled
last week, having died at the age of 72 after
a battle with cancer. The Queensland-based
Neylon was most well-known for advising the
mating of Danehill Dancer (Danehill) with
Lisheenowen (Semipalatinsk), which resulted
in three-time Group 1 winner Private Steer. She
also recommended the mating of Invincible
Spirit (Green Desert) and Cannarelle (Canny
Lad) that resulted in champion sire I Am
Invincible. Neylon also recommended the
purchase of five-time Group 1 winner Racing To
Win, the cheapest Encosta De Lago (Fairy King)
ever to go through the Inglis Australian Easter
Yearling Sale, while other recommendations
included Hong Kong Group 1 victor Seasons
Bloom (Captain Sonador) and Sandown
Guineas (Gr 2, 1600m) winner So Swift (Barely
A Moment).
Akatino bound for Australia
German three-year-old Akatino (Sidestep), a
24-length winner at Dortmund in February, has
been sold to OTI Racing and trainer Matthew
Smith. Akatino is currently spelling in the
German city of Warendorf while awaiting a
flight to Australia. "The horse came to our
attention at the end of his two-year-old season,
but the trainer was a bit unsure about selling
him," Smith told Racing.com. "Then he came
out and won by the big margin a few weeks
before racing stopped in Germany so we went
back and said, 'Would you consider an offer?',
and because racing had stopped they were
probably happy enough to sell. So, I'm pleased
we've been able to negotiate a deal, I'm really
looking forward to training him, he's a lovely
horse." Akatino has won two from six.
Kemalpasa unlikely for GoodwoodThe TAB Stakes (registered as Linlithgow
Stakes) (Gr 2, 1200m) winner Kemalpasa
(Magnus) is likely to miss The Goodwood (Gr 1,
1200m) on his home track, Morphettville, after
he pulled up scratchy following a disappointing
effort in the R N Irwin Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m)
last month. "He has strained a muscle in his
shoulder and we've kept him quiet since the
Irwin," co-trainer Richard Jolly told Racing.
com. "It is a longshot at this stage of getting to
him The Goodwood, but we will know more
this time next week." One confirmed runner for
the yard is Hard Empire (Hard Spun), who ran
fourth in the race last year and has been placed
in stakes grade at his last two outings. "We're
going to pop the blinkers back on and roll the
dice with him again in the big race," Jolly said.
"His best chance is if we get a wet track, but he
is such an honest horse."

Laking’s essential lockdown experienceWhile most New Zealand jockeys were confined

Covid-19 lockdown under Level 4 protocols,
Canterbury rider Jason Laking was able to
operate as per normal. The 37-year-old holds
down a full-time job at feed company Midlands
Seeds with his role deemed essential by the
government. “I have been pretty lucky because
I have got a full-time job as well,” he said. “I
press hemp and flax seed for oil at Midlands
Seeds. There are not a lot of us who work here,
so it’s pretty easy to keep our distance. I have
my end and they have got their end, so it has
worked out pretty well. I am going to head up
to Riccarton on Saturday and slowly get into it
because I haven’t ridden a horse in five weeks
and the weight has gone through the roof.”

Helene Leadingstar faces Moore assault in Queen MotherThe 2018 South Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2500m)
winner Helene Leadingstar (Wanted) will aim
to make it three on the trot in Hong Kong when
he tackles Sunday’s Queen Mother Memorial
Cup (Gr 3, 2400m) at Sha Tin. Tony Cruz’s
charge has pulled off a smart turn-around in
form, having endured 14 runs without success
before nailing a breakthrough Hong Kong win
over 1800 metres at the beginning of March. He
followed up with a 2000-metre Class 1 score a
month later under this weekend’s pilot, Karis
Teetan. “He’s got a big chance,” Cruz said. “He’s
won two races already and I’m very happy with
him leading into this. I was really pleased with
his barrier trial and I expect him to show us his
ability over the mile and a half, he’ll see out
the distance easily.” Cruz is the only non John
Moore-trained runner in the field of five.
Stunning rival D B Pin retiresGroup 1 winner D B Pin (Darci Brahma) is the
latest Hong Kong retiree after last weekend’s
Champions Day. The John Size-trained D B
Pin has been officially deregistered by the
Hong Kong Jockey Club, with his former
stablemate and long-term foe Mr Stunning
(Exceed And Excel) also set to be deregistered
in the coming days. D B Pin first gained
headlines in October, 2016, when he scored
his first “win” only for the race to be declared
void due to a misplaced rake in the barriers.
However, he worked his way through the
grades, taking the 2018 Centenary Sprint Cup

colour-coded wristbands for everyone on
the ground to validate screening. Kentucky
governor Andy Beshear called the plan “one
of the most detailed we have seen about
specific security checks that everybody has
to go through and be temperature-checked,
to masking, to having a very limited group

Ricky Yiu’s steady, unwavering
progress towards what he
hopes will be a first trainers’
championship continued at Happy
Valley on Wednesday thanks to Shining Gem’s
(Makfi) darting late burst.
Vincent Ho’s cool head had the top-
weight positioned for a sprint finish off the
turn in section two of the Class 3 Causeway
Bay Handicap (1200m) and Shining Gem did
not disappoint. The four-year-old’s length and
a quarter supremacy gave Yiu his 53rd win this
term and a six-win advantage over his nearest
pursuer.
“He’s a very genuine type, he showed
as a three-year-old last season that he had
potential to win races. We always had quite
high expectations for him and now he moves
into Class 2, he’s a nice, genuine type,” Yiu said.
“The draw (one) helped today – last time
he was drawn wide – and he’s consistent. When
Vincent asked him, the acceleration was there.”
Ho, who landed his first Group 1 win on
Southern Legend (Not A Single Doubt) in
Sunday’s FWD Champions Mile (Gr 1, 1600m),
moved onto 52 wins in what is already his best
ever season by some margin.
Moreira maintains leadJoao Moreira maintained a slender three-
win advantage over jockeys’ premiership rival
Zac Purton, with both landing doubles to end
the evening 109 wins to 106.
Moreira struck first when Victorious Seeker
(Sebring) matched Gold Velvet’s (Savabeel)
1800-metre Class 5 record – set just two months
ago – in the card’s second contest, the Wan Chai
Handicap. The Paul O’Sullivan-trained four-
year-old clocked 1:49.33.
The Brazilian increased his haul when
Simply Fluke (Keeper) made it two wins in
as many runs since his switch to the Douglas
Whyte stable, with both successes coming
under Moreira and both from the widest gate
of all, 12. The five-year-old charged home from
the tail to take the Class 4 North Point Handicap
(1200m) by three-quarters of a length.
“I just allowed him to find his own rhythm.
We know he’s got a good turn-of-foot and he’s
the type of horse that if he gets there a bit too
early he can lose concentration. He felt that way
last start when he won,” Moreira said.
“He built up a good momentum, they went
quite fast in front and they were always going
to be coming back for me on the home straight.
His last section of the race was really good and
he might win another one.”
Purton keeps tabs with twoPurton was not to be outdone though in
his battle to keep the title he’s won for the past
two seasons – both riders have captured the
Hong Kong title three times. The Australian
scored easy wins on Happy Warrior (More Than
Ready) and Sky Show (Showcasing).
The Jimmy Tung-trained Sky Show
exhibited smart potential with a two-length
score in section one of the Class 4 North Point
Handicap (1200m). The three-year-old clearly
took benefit from his debut last month.
“He’s a nice horse and physically he looked
well. He came out of Conghua trials where
there was no pressure so he went to the races
on debut a bit big, he had that competitive run
and a good trial and that just brought him on,”
Purton said.
Purton had earlier positioned Happy
Warrior to stalk Focus (Per Incanto), a reluctant
leader in the Class 4 Quarry Bay Handicap
(1650m), and quickened on by the eventual
second down the straight to pass the post a
coasting three quarters of a length ahead.
On a night of doubles, that sealed an early-
card brace for trainer John Moore.

“Drawing the plum gate (one), getting the
gun run and having the horse with the speed
to hold that position, they were the key factors.
Zac said to me, ‘You must have been jumping
up and down going to the corner’ because he
was going so well,” Moore said.
“He hit the line strongly, it was a cheeky
win and that will put him in Class 3 down the
bottom. He deserved that win.”
The handler took the opener, the Class 4
Tai Hang Handicap, with Gala Night (Dissident)
who set a new Class 4 record time for 2200
metres of 2:16.06. The three-year-old rallied
gamely for Derek Leung after Bullish Glory
(Roderic O’Connor) edged the lead but lacked
the necessary conviction through the final 100
metres.
“That was ridden to perfection with respect
to Derek following instruction. I told him what
I wanted – the horse is suspect at 2200 (metres)
if he’s in front, so I wanted him to get in the box
seat, get into the slipstream and I believed he’d
get the trip here. It was a beautiful ride and the
horse was in for the
fight.”
Leung also
headed home with
two wins on the
board when Irish
import Delightful
Laos (Baltic King)
opened his Hong
Kong account at the
first attempt. The
Tony Cruz-trained
three-year-old won
a Dundalk maiden
by more than two
lengths last October and suggested a bright
future with a length and a quarter score tonight.
“It’s his first run here and that was the first
time I’d sat on him but he gave me a good feel,
he raced with maturity and I think he has a
good future,” Leung said.
Meanwhile, O’Sullivan added to
Victorious Seeker’s win when Acclaimed Light
(Acclamation) responded to Neil Callan’s
powerful drive and landed section two of the
Class 3 Fortress Hill Handicap (1650m).
Dylan Mo arrowed the Me Tsui-trained
Good For You (Thorn Park) on an overhauling
run that saw him power to a two and a quarter
length triumph in the finale, section one of the
Class 3 Causeway Bay Handicap (1200m).

MAIDEN OF THE WEEK
| 22 |
Last week, when Sauvestre
(Hinchinbrook) was named Maiden
of the Week, the suggested rule of
thumb was to watch for all Chris
Waller-trained two-year-olds, especially those
on the path to the J J Atkins (Gr 1, 1400m).
Saffiano looks very much in a similar mould
to Sauvestre and seems to be a horse capable of
heading towards the Atkins after his win in the
Clarendon Stakes, a 1400-metre handicap, at
the transferred Hawkesbury meeting at Rosehill
last weekend.
The More Than Ready (Southern Halo)
juvenile became the first Waller winner of
the Clarendon Stakes or its equivalent since
Zoustar (Northern Meteor) in 2013. Zoustar
progressed to win the BRC Sires’ Produce
Stakes (Gr 2, 1350m) before finishing second
to Romantic Touch (Northern Meteor) in the J
J Atkins, that year over its regular 1600 metres.
Saffiano debuted with a fifth to Ocean
Emperor (Written Tycoon) over 1100 metres on
the Kensington track. That day, he settled last
and made ground late.
However, stepping up to 1400 metres, he
was able to sit closer and he proved too tough in
the finish, defeating previous maiden winners
Formentera (I Am Invincible) and Rock My
Wand (Wandjina) by a head and a length and a
half respectively.
"He is a promising horse, this one. We have
taken our time with him,” Waller said. “He is
a typical Aquis two-year-old, they are doing a
great job and have ready-made horses.”
“We have been a little bit patient with him.
He is a horse that has appreciated that time.
He is going to go and have a bright future. He
finished off very strongly on the Kensington
track which is never easy to do. He has come
through it well.
“Even today he was a little bit wobbly up
the straight. He had to be good to pick up the
last 100m and once he did get in the clear he
quickened really well.
"There are two reasons you look up to
Brisbane, obviously prize-money is one thing
and the status of a Group 1 JJ Atkins. Also
timing though, getting them up into the warmer
climate seems to be a good springboard for a
three-year-old, so I'd say we'd follow a similar
path."
Bred by Aquis Farm, Saffiano is the first foal
out of the unraced Domesday (Red Ransom)
mare Black Prada. She comes from a well-
known Woodlands family, with Black Prada
a half-sister to four-time Group 1 winner
Appearance (Commands) and stakes winner
Mascareri (Commands), both who carried the
Darley maroon throughout their careers.
Sent through the Magic Millions Gold Coast
Yearling Sale as part of the Newhaven Park
draft, Aquis Farm bought him back for $600,000
after a spirited bidding duel.
