A veterinary examination of Glaneuse after the race revealed no obvious abnormalities, and a post race swab sample was taken for analysis. Managing owner Mr W. Slattery advised the Stewards that Glaneuse had worked well leading up to today, and had travelled well to Melbourne this morning, and that the stable were confident of a forward showing today. Mr Slattery added that Glaneuse would undergo a full veterinary examination on returning to S.A, and that the trainer Mr O’Leary would advise the Stewards of the results of these tests in due course, however, he was of the opinion that Glaneuse would now be sent for a spell.

Ridden hard to go forward and never given a chance to find his feet, he was on the wrong leg around the turn and beaten along way from home. Disappointing ride from a top Jockey.

A post race veterinary examination of Ashikaga did not reveal any abnormalities.

Shinn attempted to take Whatever Happens which was occupying a one-off position in to be racing on the rails. Both runners continued to make contact for some distance and approaching the 650m Whatever Happens, which commenced to over race, shifted out off the heels of  Hormones exacerbating the nature of the contact between Whatever Happens and Silver Raven. In all the circumstances B. Shinn was advised that, whilst he was entitled to attempt to take Whatever Happens into a position on the rails, when it became apparent that he was unable to execute this manoeuvre, he should have relieved any pressure placed upon  Whatever Happens.

A post race veterinary examination of Lustre Lady did not reveal any abnormalities. Trainer Mr J O’Shea stated that  Lustre Lady had pleased the stable leading into the race. He added he felt the mare became stirred up as a result of it now being four weeks between runs, having missed a start at Rosehill on 28 February 2009 and he felt that it would take benefit from today’s run. A post race veterinary examination of Litter revealed the mare to have been galloped on on the near hind leg.

Today's Selections March 7th,2009

Randwick Race 2-1 ATOMIC FORCE Unplaced

Jumped well and looked to get over near the fence, however looked to be hanging out and came around the turn 4 wide. He was put under pressure upon topping the rise, gradually weakened out of the finish.(Stewards Report)

When questioned, App. J Quinnell, rider of Atomic Force, stated that his instructions had been to go forward, but near the 1000m he allowed Academy Magic to cross with a view to settling outside that runner. App. Quinnell added that Atomic Force ran out at that point, then could not muster sufficient speed to cross Siphon and, as a result, was obliged to cover additional ground three wide. He added that around the home turn Atomic Force commenced to lay out and, due to the hard run it had endured, did not finish off the race. A post race veterinary examination of Atomic Force did not reveal any abnormalities. Trainer Mr M Hawkes stated that he felt Atomic Force hanging out around the turn and weakening in the straight was fully attributable to the hard run the horse had throughout the event.

Showed pace early, and got a nice run 3rd the fence, shuffled back to 5th on the turn, and got the split between runners. Had to be ridden hard to make him do his best and just got the bob on on the line. (Stewards Report)

When questioned concerning Rabbuka settling off the pace today, B Shinn stated that he went

forward early to take up a position outside the anticipated leader, Hadaaf, but when Big Al Hazim

went forward three wide he elected to allow that runner to cross as he did not wish to push forward

with its big weight.Stewards opened an inquiry into Rabbuka obtaining a run to the inside of El Meroo

rounding the home turn. After taking evidence from the two riders concerned and the stable

representative, the matter was adjourned.

Video Reviews  from Racenet

 

 Sydney by Paul Joice
Canterbury 19/2/09
Back Off – Three-year-old powered home to beat the older horses first-up over 1250m. Ran third in the Spring Stakes last campaign before finishing fourth in the Dulcify so does have that tough of class and appears to have come back much more focused this campaign – as a gelding. Follow him as he steps up in distance. 
Tolaga Bay – Elusive City three-year-old from the Bart Cummings stable and really caught the eye on debut. Handled by Blake Shinn he settled back in the field off a wide gate but was caught wide in the 1200m event. Very deep approaching the turn he really knuckled down strongly and looked likely to score but was beaten when one snuck through along the inside. Form-line should hold-up and open to improvement. 
Rosehill 21/2/09 
Judged – Straight back into the blackbook after a terrific first-up effort. Totally unsuited on the heavy going, drawn poorly and carrying 59.5kg she was always up against it first-up but after settling a long way off them made some ground wide out into the straight and chased gamely. Peaked inside the final 100m but will derive plenty of benefit from that and with Joe Pride pulling the strings will be one of the star performers this autumn.

 

Melbourne by Brad Waters
MOONEE VALLEY  20/2/09
AVENUE – This daughter of Anabaa left her handy rivals in her wake on debut last Friday night. She only jumped fairly but mustered terrific natural speed to share the pace without too much effort. She railed like a greyhound around the tight Moonee Valley home turn and streeted her opposition in the straight. Trainer Peter Moody and connections are going to have fun with this filly.
FLY HIGHER – This filly was never going to win last Friday night when carrying more than weight-for-age against the older mares but she did enough to show she’s ready to win back in her own age. She settled last but wasn’t asked to make ground until the 600 metre mark. She ran on very well from the rear to take third spot behind the runaway leader. Her effort had ‘back me next start’ written all over it.
BELIEVE’N’SUCCEED – This Exceed and Excel filly returned from a throat operation in fine style last Friday night. Trainer Mark Kavanagh had been saying in the lead- up to the race that he didn’t know what the filly would do but she gave him his answer in fine style after leading all the way with a big weight to score. She’ll only improve on that effort and makes her own luck in front.
TWO HILLS – This very honest filly trained by Allen Browell hasn’t seen too much of the inside fence at her two runs back from a spell, being posted four and five wide on both occasions. Once again this daughter of Hillman stuck to her task in good style in the straight. Once she sees the inside fence, there may be a win there for her soon. A bit of rain wouldn’t hurt her either.
CAULFIELD 21/02/09
BEAMING – Just forget this mare went around last Saturday. She settled back in the field which wasn’t the place to be on the day and was then shut out of multiple runs in the straight before going to the line hard held, but still making ground. She’s a classy sprinting mare when right and it looks she’s in for another solid campaign.
GALLICA – To put it simply, she’s ready to win after two runs back. The Mick Price-trained filly sat behind Gold Water last Saturday as the Gai Waterhouse-trained filly was able to lead, slow the speed and run things to suit herself. As a consequence, Damien Olver was forced to get going a little earlier than he would have liked to put the daughter of Redoute’s Choice into the race. Gallic loomed up but found the hard-fit Gold Water better on the day. I would suggest with natural improvement, Gallica will be turning the tables at their next meeting.
TYPHOON ZED – He was noted in this column for his Lightning Stakes run but his run in the Oakleigh Plate was even better  even though he finished third.  In the Oakleigh Plate, Typhoon Zed sat 5 wide with the equal top weight on a day where you had to be near the fence to win. Add to those factors the fact that he was involved in some major scrimmages in the early and middle stages (his rider Hugh Bowman was suspended for his ride) then his effort to chase Swiss Ace and Lucky Secret so honestly in the straight was terrific.

Sydney by Paul Joice
Warwick Farm 11/2/09
Smart Lady – Strong debut when runner-up over 1200m after enduring a tough run. Jumped from the outside gate and settled third out three wide before being outpaced into the straight. Came again inside the final 250m fighting right to the line. A Catbird two-year-old filly she should only improve on that. 
Canterbury 13/2/09 
Messenger – Showed plenty of improvement from her debut effort when charged into second place behind the more experience Pure Drama over 1250m. Settled fifth on the rails before working off the fence approaching the turn. Peeled five wide into the straight before balancing-up and closing strongly. Has her hoof right on the till. 
Randwick 14/2/09 
Palacio De Cristal – Promising filly from the Begg stable. Resumed from a wide gate in the Light Fingers (1200m) and no surprise to see her restrained well back in the field early on. Raced a tad keenly to the turn before warming-up solidly through the field in the run home. Best work was inside the final 150m and despite finishing eighth put the writing on the wall. Bigger races/bigger wins in store. 
Joe Blow – Resumed out of his grade over 1400m and started at the appropriate price (25/1). Was slow to jump before settling back on the rails and saved ground approaching the turn. Gradually wound-up through the field hitting the line strongly late to grab third prize. That was his first placing from five career starts. Eligible for easier races and will excel as the distances increase (sire Sadler’s Wells).

Melbourne by Brad Waters
MOONEE VALLEY 14/2/09
RENEWABLE – This son of Zabeel tracked the speed for most of the race last Saturday before his jockey was a fraction over-zealous when attempting to get closer to the speed at the 800. Renewable ended up in front a long way out before being cut down late by Centurytwentyone after the Adelaide galloper had the drop on him from the 400 metres. Owner Lloyd Williams is ruthless in selling horses that don’t look like they will make the grade but he has stuck with Renewable through all his problems.
CHAMPAGNE HARMONY – This filly was in the firing line with a fast pace prevailing in her race last Saturday before having the audacity to kick a couple of lengths clear on the point of the home turn. It took a potential topliner in Mic Mac to run her down with the gelding having the benefit of extra fitness. Mark Kavanagh and connections are in for a profitable campaign with this three-year-old daughter of Choisir.
TIME THIEF – Lee Freedman set this inexperienced three-year-old a huge task, taking on Apache Cat and Weekend Hussler at his first attempt at weight-for-age racing in the Australia Stakes. After beginning well, this son of Redoute’s Choice was given no peace in front and was always working, racing well off the fence to hold his position. Time Thief was entitled to drop out and run last but he fought on very strongly to hold off Orange County and run third. The field broke 1.10 for the MV 1200 metres which is a rare event which Time Thief had a big say in

Warwick Farm Race 8-2 COOL DUKE Unplaced

got back further than expected in a fast pace, crowed for a room on the turn and when tyring to get clear found tight runs.However wasn't going good enough to take them. Not beaten far and might be looking for further.(Stewards Report) For some distance near the 600m Cool Duke raced in restricted room between Thunderbirdsarego and Kings Pride. Cool Duke then did not obtain clear running in the straight and was unable to be fully tested.

Mooney Valley Race 2-6 ITSTHEONE Unplaced

Got back to second last in a moderate speed and approaching the 600m was hard ridden and dropped right out. (Stewards Report) M Rodd was questioned regarding the performance of Itstheone (NZ) and he stated that after leaving the 800m when the pace quickened, Itstheone (NZ) was immediately under pressure and in his opinion had choked down and as a result he eased the gelding down prior to the home turn. The Club’s veterinary surgeon reported after the race that Itstheone (NZ) was suffering from mild respiratory distress and an elevated heart rate which in his opinion was consistent with the gelding choking down. Trainer Mr M Kavanagh advised that it was his intention to apply a tongue tie to the gelding and continue its preparation.

Mooney Valley Race 9-2 ROAD TO ROCK $2.40-$1.30

Damien give yourself a pat on the back, great ridding, Copy book ride 4th on out and summed up the speed well when made his run at the 600m and made the others chase him . Ridden a confident hands and heals to the line to win narrowly.

Randwick Race 4-2 RABBUKA Unplaced

Jumped well and lead in a moderate pace pressured a bit by hadaff, coming around the turn was under pressure and he was the first horse beaten. Very unusual for one of Gai's to stop like that.(Stewards Report) When questioned regarding regarding the performance of Rabbuka, App. D Ganderton stated that the gelding

travelled well early, but by the 600m he had some concerns when the gelding wasinclined to lay in and dropped the bit. He said that

Rabbuka was a beaten horse early inthe straight and, in his opinion, while it had established wet track form, it did not handle the going. A post race veterinary examination of Rabbuka did not reveal any abnormalities. Stable representative Ms T Rouse stated that Rabbuka had pleased the stable going into the race and the only explanation she could offer was the horse was taken on in the very early stages by Hadaaf. The inquiry into Rabbuka’s performance was adjourned so that a full veterinary examination might be conducted by the stable veterinarian.

Randwick Race 6-1 HOT DANISH (Best Bet)1st $1.80-$1.20

Jumped great and showed speed early, taken back to 5th 3 wide with no cover, in a slow run race. The leaders sprinted on the rise and left her having to dig deep, and she did. She's a great mare and we'll keep following her, she loves to win.

They'll be lucky to race in Brisbane today and if they do it will be one of those track you don't want to bet on they will be winning at any old price.

I remember riding winners on very heavy tracks and thinking "how did this win". The key as a Jockey is to find a fast lane, and that's what they'll be doing today in Melbourne. Which ever Jockey works out the best place to be early, will ride all the winners. If your looking for today's FREE TIP it's below.

Video Reviews from Racenet

Sydney by Paul Joice
Canterbury 4/2/09
O’Lonhro – Brilliant debut winner in a 1250m maiden and looks capable of going onto much better things. Settled last on the rails before angling clear at the top of the straight. Powered to the lead with Glyn Schofield realising he had them covered 75m out from home and eased his foot off the pedal over the final stages. Very smart.
In Touch – Comes through the O’Lonhro event when finishing runner-up over 1250m on debut. Showed early pace to settle second one off the fence before levelling-up at the 150m. Fought gamely but had no answer for the finishing charge of O’Lonhro. Open to plenty of improvement with that race experience. Follow.
Kensington 6/2/09
Madame Pedrille – Lightly raced but showing plenty of natural talent and should work quickly through the grades. Was having her third start and from a good draw was positioned into the box-seat by Chris Munce. Straightening in the 1150m event Madame Pedrille was badly locked-up but managed to angle into the clear with 150m remaining. Showed a quick turn of foot and drove hard to grab the prize. Smart.
Rosehill 7/2/09
Indirect – Three-year-old filly from the Bart Cummings stable. Very unlucky on resumption over 1200m and looked big in condition so looks sure to improve. Settled sixth on the rails before saving ground into the straight and looked to be travelling strongly. Went for a split at the furlong pole but was badly cut-out and lost all momentum. Should have figured in the finish and can improve sharply next time.

Melbourne by Brad Waters
Moonee Valley 6/2/09
Green Mango – Trained by David Hayes, this two-year-old bumped into the smart Essaouria and while beaten by six lengths, Green Mango did plenty to suggest that she has a future. With the rail out seven metres, Green Mango was never going to win but ran on very nicely after being forced to negotiate a chequered passage in the straight . This 2yo can win a midweek race soon.
Cameo Minx – Mick Kent has a mare with a huge future on his hands. She only had two horses behind her at the school, not the place to be at the Valley when the rail is out. She had trouble getting clear but once she saw daylight, she gave her rivals windburn with Brad Rawiller sitting quietly. She can seriously gallop and may end up with black type against her name.
Dancefloor Prodigy – This Lee Freedma-trained colt sat back and was held up most of the way behind Eagle Falls at Moonee Valley last Friday night. Once he saw daylight, Dwayne Dunn only gave him a squeeze and the son of Redoute’s Choice lengthened stride very nicely in the run to the line. He’s very light raced and competed in good class in the spring. Follow him.
Caulfield 9/2/09
Miss Sorenstam – Mark Kavanagh has got this filly back to the races in fine style. After sitting handy to the speed in the early and middle stages, Miss Sorenstam was badly held up for fifty metres at the top of the straight which put an end to her winning chances. She ran on well over the concluding stages and will relish some more ground next time out.
Playwright – He lost the plot in the spring but this talented four-year-old showed that a return to form could well be on the cards with an excellent effort behind Red Element. He raced on the inside and tracked the winner through on the home turn before being outsprinted at the top of the straight. Once he hit his top at the 200 metres, this son of Fantastic Light stretched out beautifully. Follow him when he gets to Flemington, perhaps in a race like the Blamey Stakes over a mile.
Baughurst – He is one of my favourites because of his unfailing honesty but his run in the Orr Stakes was an indication that he might be in the best shape of his career. He is an honest handicapper that was unsuited at weight-for-age but he ran on well from the rear behind Cox Plate winner Maldivian. He is brilliant second-up and will be very hard to hold out if he lobs in a handicap next time out.
Prima Nova – This is another honest type, this mare comes from the Anthony Cummings yard. She got back in a race at group three level at Caulfield but finished off very nicely for third behind Annesong. This mare is one of those types that performs well and does her best no matter what the circumstances are and can be followed next time out

Phillips was advised that PLENTY OF PRACTISE must trial satisfactorily prior to its next race start.

Knuckled over at the start and got back to last, why he went to the fence I'll never know. The eventual winner had him in a pocket the whole way. Never really got clear and appeared to be hanging in down the straight. Great run and will be winning soon. (Steward Report) Fravashi knuckled on jumping away, shifted out abruptly and almost dislodged its rider K McEvoy. K McEvoy reported on return to scale that in his opinion his mount slipped when the start was effected.Rounding the home turn and in the early part of the straight Fravashi and Miss Scarlatti (NZ) were unable to improve their positions when held up for clear running.Fravashi, when put under pressure passing the 200m, hung in and as a result proved difficult for K McEvoy to ride out in his normal manner.

The good horses are back and it's making the racing even hotter ( Sorry about The pun).

Speaking of the heat it will be interesting to see if they go ahead with today's Rosehill meeting once the temperatures reach 43 degree. It used to be that once the temps reach the level of 43 Degree the R.S.P.A. would step in and close down the meeting. We'll have to wait and see. if your looking for today's FREE TIP it's below.

Sydney by Paul Joice
Canterbury 29/1/09
Peace Academy – Lightly raced three-year-old filly from the O’Shea stable. Turned in a terrific effort first-up over 1100m with Tim Clark aboard. Settled seventh one off the rails in a fast run race before switching widest into the straight. Wound-up strongly and hit the line with genuine intent – finishing second. Needs further and should be better suited on a bigger track. Follow with confidence. 
Mantova – Formerly with Jack Denham this enigmatic mare is now under the care of Kevin Moses and backed-up some solid trial form with a real eye-catcher first-up over 1250m. Settled a long way back on the rails before easing three wide approaching the turn. Wound-up gamely through the field before hitting the line strongly late – finishing second. Has won at 1800m so should be well placed at her next couple of runs. 
Rosehill 31/1/09 
Marquardt – May just get in under the radar heading towards the Golden Slipper. Gunned down the Gai Waterhouse big gun Manhattan Rain when on debut and really liked the way she hit the line – with a bit of the sleeve. Was suited by the fast tempo in front yet still had to reel off very fast sectionals (see below) in order to get the job done. If she goes the right way from this point could well the be Slipper smokey this far out. 
Court – Her video comments almost says it all – “Box-seated. Pocket t. Angled for run/blocked 200m. Across heels/ran on/unlucky.” Arguably should have beaten a very handy line-up but for luck in running. Is she a first-up specialist? Previous form says no so definitely worth something next time but not 100% convinced regarding her longevity into a campaign.

Melbourne by Brad Waters
Flemington  31/1/09
Road to Rock – This Anthony Cummings-trained galloper just continues to improve with racing. In the spring he consistently raced well in tough assignments before breaking through at Flemington on Emirates Stakes day and carrying his form into a rock-solid Sandown Classic run. At Flemington last Saturday, the son of Encosta de Lago settled just off midfield before charging to the line where his run ended 20 metres from the line to just go under. Providing he doesn’t find a wet track, this horse is in for a good campaign.
Heart of Dreams – This horse just keeps producing the goods. He was scratched from last Monday due to a foot abcess and showed that he has overcome the problem by turning in a ripper first up in the C.S Hayes Stakes. He had no luck and was forced to race wide for the entire trip and still chased Fair Trade strongly. This son of Show a Heart is a real Cadbury Guineas chance, stick with him.
Typhoon Zed – While beaten by Scenic Blast, Typhoon Zed was the run of the race in the Lightning Stakes. He jumped smartly and faced the breeze while the winner had the cosy run at the rear. The Tim Martin-trained galloper fought on very strongly to hold second despite losing both front plates in the run to the line. He will probably go to the Australia Stakes on Feb 14 where he’ll be a chance but Typhoon Zed looms as the perfect Oakleigh Plate horse. Hopefully he runs in both.
