| 2 |

She has not raced since finishing

seventh in the Sunline Stakes (Gr 2, 1600m) at Moonee Valley on March

20 which brought an end to her three-start summer-autumn campaign.

“She ran second-up in the All-Star Mile in the autumn and things

didn’t go her way that day and that was when Covid first broke out

everywhere in Australia,” Wilson said yesterday.

“The team backed her up in

six days and gave her a run at

Moonee Valley with the fear that

racing would be put on hold

for a period of time. As a result,

we ended up putting her in the

paddock at the end of March, so

she’s had a ten-week spell which

she’s never had in her life.

“She’s always had that good

horse’s problem whereby one

carnival ends and the next one

comes up so quickly that you are

always racing against the clock,

so for her to have ten weeks in

the paddock is unheard of.

“Every sign so far is that

she’s in for her best campaign

probably since her three-year-

old spring preparation (when she

won the VRC Oaks). Her trial this

morning was sensational. She

was never off the bit and she’s

gone across the line about half a

length off Pretty Brazen and she

had Hanseatic behind her and

Jamie (Kah, jockey) was like a

statue on her.”

While optimistic about the prospects of Aristia breaking her losing

streak dating back to her 2018 VRC Oaks win, Wilson suggested that

connections may look to avoid the top-line open company horses this

campaign.

The Empire Rose Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m), a fillies and mares race she

finished runner-up to Melody Belle (Commands) in last year, looms as a

probable target.

“If she ran top three on Saturday you could put her down that old,

traditional race path or, if she’s not quite up to it on Saturday, you can go

to the Empire Rose,” Wilson said.

“There’s a 1400-metre race in two weeks and then we will use the Let’s Elope

on September 12 as a mid-range target for her.

Melody Belle SPORTPIX

Page 4: Race meetings: enjoying decent spell...traditional race path or, if she’s not quite up to it on Saturday, you can go to the Empire Rose,” Wilson said. “There’s a 1400-metre

“The beauty of her now is that the

sunset clause has kicked in for her on those set weights and penalties

races. Last spring it was tough as everywhere we went with her she had 59

kilograms but now … she will be back to the minimum because she hasn’t

won a stakes race for 18 months.”

The way Aristia, who was bred by Greg Perry under his Greenwich

Stud banner, has returned after a lengthy spell has Wilson convinced that

he and his fellow owners have made the right call to race on the daughter

of Lonhro (Octagonal) for another season rather than selling her as a well-

credentialled broodmare prospect.

“She didn’t win a race last season but she still won $250,000 in prize-

money, so it’s a balancing act for the owners, but in my opinion selling

her off the track at the end of her five-year-old season is the prime time to

realise her residual value,” he said.

“You have probably got to treat these next 12 months like they are her

last, and a lot of good mares have raced on into their six-year-old season,

but she’s probably got to give us a compelling reason to do that because

she might lose ten per cent of her value for racing on for another 12

months and that’s a significant figure.”

How Aristia performs on Saturday will also be a guide as to what

difference First Light Racing’s investment earlier this year in a spelling

property at Koo Wee Rup, south east of Melbourne, is making to its racing

team.

Named after the syndicator’s Group 1 winner, Aristia Park is a purpose-

built horse property with a capacity for 120 horses, sand training tracks,

an equestrian area, tie-ups and round yards overseen by farm manager

Marnie Holloway.

“It’s brand-new for us. We took ownership of it in March and it’s just

such an asset. It’s probably not a coincidence but the first two horses that

have raced off that farm who have spelled there were Squami and Rich

Hips,” Wilson said.

“Squami won first-up and Rich Hips went to Sandown and won first-

up and she’s in for a ‘career prep’ as well. Aristia will be the third horse

to go to the races off the property. The first two have won and they have

improved out of sight.”

Wilson praised Holloway for the way she has managed the horses

since taking on the role, describing her as “a magician”.

He said: “We’ve had some

fantastic partners along the way

but our vision has always been

for First Light to do everything

end-to-end and it gives us a

great opportunity now to get our

clients involved in breeding if

they want to go down that path.

“The horses are always in

our care and we see it as a huge

client entertainment facility

in due course. It’s a beautiful

property and I’d love to be doing

yearling parades and having owners out there offering accommodation.

They can come out and spend the night, then do the feed run in the

morning and have a bit of fun.”

Wilson, in conjunction with agent Paul Willetts, meanwhile, came

away with six new season two-year-olds at last week’s Magic Millions

National Yearling Sale on the Gold Coast headed by a $100,000 Dundeel

(High Chaparral) colt out of Group 1-winning mare Alverta (Flying Spur)

and a $52,000 All Too Hard (Casino Prince) filly out of Group 3-winning,

Group 1-placed Galapagos Girl (Dehere). The All Too Hard filly is a

half-sister to last season’s Gerald Ryan-trained stakes winner Villami

(Foxwedge).

“We had so many new owners come in this year with one, two and

three degrees of separation from existing First Light owners or even just

new people. We’ve still been able to have a good year despite Covid,” he

said.

“We haven’t overbought and we were fortunate with … the Magic

Millions sale being pushed all the way out to August, that really worked

for us.

“That sale is normally in May/June and in May we are usually carrying

a lot of stock but by the time we got to August our numbers were quite

low and we were looking at September and October and thinking that we

won’t have any stock to offer.

“We bought six up there and we could have easily grabbed a couple

more.”

AUSTRALIA

Lawrence return for Cape Of Good HopeAfter trialling at Flemington yesterday, Lindsay

Park’s Caulfield Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) winner

Cape Of Good Hope (Galileo) will begin his

spring campaign in the P.B. Lawrence Stakes

(Gr 2, 1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday, with

the Underwood Stakes (Gr 1, 1800m) his

current aim. "He's had a good break and has

come back in nice and sound," co-trainer Tom

Dabernig said. "He arrived in Australia in good

form winning the Caulfield Stakes but last

campaign his feet were the issue and he was

taking on reasonable company. His feet have

improved. Remember Redkirk Warrior had

trouble initially with his feet when he came

from Hong Kong and we managed to get him

right and I think this is a similar situation. We've

addressed the issue and he'll have his chance to

show his best form."

Lane to ride Arcadia QueenDamian Lane has secured the ride on star

Perth mare Arcadia Queen (Pierro) this

spring as she returns from an injury sustained

in last year’s Golden Eagle (1500m). The

five-year-old and her All Star Mile (1600m)-

winning stablemate Regal Power (Pierro) are

set to kick off their campaigns in Saturday’s

P.B. Lawrence Stakes. "She's sound now,"

owner Bob Peters told Racing.com. "She

got knocked down in The Golden Eagle and

the adrenalin kicked in so she got up again,

obviously over-exerted herself to still finish

off well to run fifth. Unfortunately, that

caused a lot of tearing of muscles and things

like that in her back and she had a long

time in rehabilitation to get her back. Race

pressure will tell the story. So far it's been

good but it took from November until May to

get her over it all.”

Larimer Street to kick off in VainThe Trent Bussitin and Natalie Young-trained

Larimer Street (Brazen Beau), who finished

third in the $2 million Inglis Millennium (RL,

1100m), will kick off his spring campaign

in Saturday’s Vain Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) at

Caulfield, and the stable will determine his

future targets based off how he runs this

weekend. "He'll get the chance to paint the

picture for the rest of the spring with what he

does first-up," Bussitin told Racing.com. "He

was good in the autumn. He should have won

the $2 million race in Sydney, although it was

only a restricted race. He then won that Listed

(St Albans Stakes) race at Moonee Valley really

well then we kept the blinkers on for the Group

1 Sires' (Randwick) so we just put a line through

that as he just over-raced terribly. The Caulfield

Guineas or the Coolmore (Stud Stakes) are at

the top of the tree for him this spring but we are

a long way from being a Listed winner to getting

to one of those races. But he'll get his chance to

tell us he is."

Ryan focused on Sydney with three-year-oldsThe Covid-19 pandemic is likely to keep many of

Sydney's best horses at home in the short-term

but that prospect holds no concerns for Rosehill

trainer Gerald Ryan. "Early on it has changed

things, but there is too much good racing,

prestige racing here in Sydney to worry about

going to Melbourne," Ryan said. "Sure, there are

good races (in Melbourne) later on. You've got

the Blue Sapphire, the Caulfield Guineas, the

Coolmore Stud Stakes. But there are enough

races here to worry about Sydney first, then

what gets to Melbourne, you can worry about

later on." Ryan's Peltzer won his three starts at

the end of the autumn, including back-to-back

victories at Randwick. The colt is due to barrier

trial later this month before he resumes in the

San Domenico Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) at Rosehill

on August 29 before tackling the Run To The

Rose (Gr 2, 1200m) two weeks later, ahead of the

$1 million Golden Rose Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) on

September 26. All three races are at his home

track of Rosehill, a course Ryan hopes he likes

as much as he does Randwick. "The majority

of my three-year-olds this year, their races are

going to be at Rosehill on their home track," the

trainer said. "I just hope Peltzer goes as well at

Rosehill as he does at Randwick because he is

unbeaten at Randwick."

Elleegant ready for Cups campaignChris Waller has trodden a patient path with

Verry Elleegant (Zed) and he believes it has

readied her for the rigours of a Cups campaign.

The stable managed her carefully as a spring

four-year-old last year and did not extend

her beyond the distance of the Cox Plate (Gr

1, 2040m). But a solid, five-start autumn

campaign, highlighted by a Tancred Stakes (Gr

1, 2400m) victory, has given Waller confidence

the mare is seasoned enough for a Caulfield

Cup (Gr 1, 2400m) and Melbourne Cup (Gr 1,

3200m) preparation. "We held her back last

year to try and help her develop, which she has

done physically as well as mentally," Waller

said. "Whilst she would have got into the Cups

last year with a much better weight, I am now

sure she is capable of not only coping with the

preparation required, but also the race itself."

Behemoth’s connections on weather watchThe Adelaide weather will be the determining

factor in where Listed winner Behemoth (All

Too Hard) will make his return to racing. The

David Jolly-trained five-year-old looked sharp

when winning a Balaklava trial last week and is

among the nominations for Saturday’s Spring

Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) at Morphettville. Grand

Syndicates racing manager Sam Lyons said the

plan was to stay in Adelaide, but the prospect

of rain could yet see the gelding rerouted to

Melbourne.“The Regal Roller (at Caulfield)

is the back-up plan,’’ Lyons told theracessa.

com. Behemoth finished well to run fourth in

last year’s Regal Roller Stakes (Listed, 1200m)

before returning to Adelaide and winning

the Penny Edition Stakes (Listed, 1400m). He

finished his last campaign with a fourth in the

Goodwood Handicap (Gr 1, 1200m).

Russian Camelot impresses in jump-outSouth Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2500m) winner

Russian Camelot (Camelot) impressed Danny

O’Brien in his jump-out win at Flemington

yesterday and his likely first-up run will be

the Makybe Diva Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) at

Flemington on September 12. "We're very

happy with him," O'Brien told Racing.com. "We

were hoping that there would be a bit of tempo

in his heat so that he could fall back a bit. But

they went particularly slowly, and he was right

up on the speed the whole trial. Damien Oliver

(jockey) slipped him a little bit of rein late and

let him stretch his legs and he went through his

gears nicely and had a nice gallop on what is a

beautiful surface. Damien reported back that

he was very happy with him, he said he thought

he was a bit above himself and very fresh, which

is to be expected, he's a colt and he's in great

shape physically. He was really pleased with the

feel he got from him this morning.”

McEwen first-up for HanseaticBlue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) runner-up

Hanseatic (Street Boss) had has first jump-out

of the spring at Flemington yesterday, finishing

fourth on the bridle under Jye McNeil, and

his co-trainer Sam Freedman confirmed the

three-year-old would resume in next month’s

McEwen Stakes (Gr 2, 1000m). “He was good,

he was fresh and full of himself in the run,”

Freedman told Racing.com. “He’s a busy

character, especially in his trials and races, he

is very full of himself but he seems to be coming

up really well. Importantly he was well behaved

at the gates, he walked straight in and that was

an area that was frustrating in the autumn. That

was a typical first jump-out from our stable, we

are never ones to push them out in trials and

now he’ll have another jump-out and then a

gallop at The Valley. He’ll be ready to go first-

up in the Group 2 McEwen Stakes and will then

be targeted at the Group 1 Moir Stakes and the

Coolmore Stud Stakes.”

Moroney pleased with TofaneAlso featuring at yesterday’s Flemington jump-

outs was the Mike Moroney-trained All Aged

Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) winner Tofane who is set

to resume in the Gilgai Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) on

October 3. “She was pretty fresh today and we just

gave her a day out, she wasn’t there to do much,”

Moroney told Racing.com. “She’ll have another

jump-out (at Flemington) and we’ll put more

pressure on her next time. The race she’ll kick off

in is the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes down the straight

here, then there are a couple of other races here

for her. If she’s going well enough then hopefully

she’ll be (up in Sydney) for The Everest.”

Epsom-bound Tyzone shines in trialStradbroke Handicap (Gr 1, 1400m) winner

Tyzone (Written Tycoon) has limbered up for

his forthcoming trip to Sydney with a solid third

in a Gold Coast barrier trial. Ridden by Robbie

Fradd, Tyzone settled fifth before working home

stylishly to place behind the Chris Waller-trained

Subpoenaed (Rip Van Winkle) in a 1000-metre

heat, beaten three-quarters of a length. Toby

Edmonds, who trains in partnership with his

son Trent, plans to lay a solid platform for the

gelding's return to racing, which is likely to be in

the Theo Marks Stakes (Gr 2, 1300m) at Rosehill

on September 12. His main goal in Sydney is the

Epsom Handicap (GR 1, 1600m) at Randwick on

October 3. The Epsom is also on the agenda for

Tyzone's stablemate Vanna Girl (Husson) who

finished seventh, beaten three lengths, in the

same trial as Tyzone.

1614 nominated for Blue DiamondA total of 1614 now two-year-olds have been

nominated for next year’s $1.5 million Blue

Diamond Stakes at Caulfield. Local trainers

Ciaron Maher and David Eustace have the most

entries with 108, with Lindsay Park in second with

80. The Team Hawkes-trained Dio (Zoustar), the

brother to champion mare Sunlight, is among the

headlines entries along with progeny of star mares

Black Caviar (Bel Esprit) (a filly by I Am Invincible

(Invincible Spirit)), Miss Finland (Redoute’s

Choice) (a colt by Shalaa (Invincible Spirit),

trained Tom Dabernig & Ben Hayes) and the

late Miracles Of Life’s (Not A Single Doubt) final

daughter, a filly by American Pharaoh (Pioneerof

The Nile) to be trained by Snowden Racing.

Snitzel (Danehill) has the most nominations of

any stallion with 93 of his progeny entered, while

I Am Invincible (79) has the second most. Click

here to view the full entry list.

Randwick trials moved to PolytrackDue to the recent wet weather, the Randwick

barrier trials scheduled for today will now

take place on the Randwick Polytrack. As a

consequence, the 1200 metre heats will now

be staged over 1250 metres, the 1050 metres

heats become 1080 metres and the 740 metre

heats will be run over 780 metres. The first heat

will be conducted at 8.40am with 10-minute

gaps between trials. Heats 19 and 20 move

up to become heats 12 and 13 as they were

originally scheduled as Polytrack 1080m heats.

The three trials for Group-performed horses on

the Kensington Track will now be conducted on

Friday.

Nisbet hospitalised after fallCanberra jockey Kayla Nisbet was taken to

hospital for observation after falling from

a horse at trackwork yesterday. Nisbet

momentarily lost consciousness but early

reports suggested she did not appear to have

sustained any injuries. On Sunday, Narromine

track rider David Stubbs was dislodged and

suffered concussion as a result. He was taken to

Narromine Hospital for observation.

Rockhampton trainer Rowe seriously injuredLyle Rowe, one of Queensland’s longest serving

trainers, is in hospital having suffered serious

injuries in an accident at Rockhampton’s

Callaghan Park racecourse on Friday. Rowe

was leading a horse from his stables to the tie-

up stalls on the racecourse when the accident

occurred. Although details are uncertain, it is

believed Rowe was either kicked by the horse in

the head or he suffered severe head injuries as

the result of a fall. The 79-year-old is said to have

sustained a fractured skull and bleeds on the

brain. A spokesperson for Rockhampton Base

Hospital described Rowe’s condition as “stable”

late on Sunday. Former jockey Rowe, who turns

80 next month, has trained at Rockhampton

for over 30 years, and has a team of around ten

horses in training.

Quirindi abandoned, Gosford in doubtOfficials will inspect the course at Gosford this

metres to 1400 metres, steward Damien Carr

will inspect the track at 6am but the meeting

looks to be in some doubt with the Gosford

barrier trials scheduled for the following day.

Elsewhere, the fixture scheduled to take place

at Quirindi today was called off after the surface

was deemed unsuitable for racing following

heavy rainfall and no alternative venues could

be found around the Hunter & North West

Cool Aza Beel sidelinedThis year’s Karaka Million (RL, 1200m) winner

Cool Aza Beel (Savabeel) has suffered a minor

suspensory injury and could be out of action

for the majority of the spring and summer.

The three-year-old colt, who is trained by

Jamie Richards, is expected

to make a full recovery

from the problem but

has been spelled by Te

Akau Racing. Cool Aza

Beel has not raced since

Double for boutique BisharaNicholas Bishara is delighted with the way his

boutique stable has started the new season

after a winning double at Te Rapa on Saturday,

courtesy of successes by Rising Renown

(Redwood) and Ihu (Red Element), brought his

current season tally to three wins, just two shy

of last season’s total. “It was a terrific weekend

and I just can’t believe how well I am going to be

honest,” Bishara said. “We are having a winner a

week and to get a double on a Saturday feature

meeting was great. It’s good after lockdown to

be able to get back out and get something. The

whole team is firing.”

Captainwinkletoes catches eyeJo Rathbone has been riding the crest of a

wave with quality jumper Tallyho Twinkletoe

(St Reims) and she may have unearthed

another top prospect in his half-brother,

Captaintwinkletoes (Sufficient). The four-

year-old pleased Rathbone when finishing

runner-up on debut over 2100 metres at

Hawera on Saturday where he was only just

beaten by stablemate Wotablast (Azamour).

“I was rapt with them both,” Rathbone said.

“Wotablast had a bit of a gear change just

to try and get him to try and switch on a bit

more and that obviously helped. I thought

Captaintwinkletoes would go a nice race. It’s

a big ask going 2100 metres first-up, but he

has done a lot. He is definitely a stayer, he just

needs to go over ground.”

Skyward registered his first stakes win when

taking out the Prix de Reux (Gr 3, 2500m) at

Deauville on Sunday and while his majority

owner has long held Cup ambitions for the colt,

Covid-enforced restrictions on movement of

staff could put the prospect of travelling from

France on hold for 12 months. It looks likely

that overseas-based horses will need to be

transferred into the care of local trainers to

compete in this year's Caulfield and Melbourne

Chappet) if he were to come out for a big race

BY DAVID BAXTER, RACING POST

The British Horseracing Authority

has said that any formal

investigation into Phoenix

Thoroughbreds founder Amer

Abdulaziz Salman would need to be made

by the appropriate law enforcement bodies,

adding it would be happy to assist should it be

required.

Last November, British racing's governing

body said it would be "making inquiries as a

priority" into the troubled organisation and,

while confirming that queries had subsequently

been made, no further action has been taken.

A BHA spokesperson said: “The BHA

has carried out inquiries over the past few

months. Allegations of criminality are properly

investigated by law enforcement organisations,

which the BHA would always support where it

can. Our focus is on making the best use of our

regulatory role to protect participants and the

reputation of the sport.”

The Racing Post understands a similar

stance is held by French racing's regulatory

authority, France Galop, although there are

currently no Phoenix-owned horses in training

in that jurisdiction.

The global nature of Phoenix's investment

in racing since its formation in 2017 was evident

over the weekend, with the organisation

having a winner at Flemington plus a winner

at Monmouth in the USA, as well as placed

runners at Saratoga, in upstate New York.

The organisation has a significant presence

in Australia, headlined earlier this year by

William Reid Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner

Loving Gaby (I Am Invincible), who is also

nominated for the Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m), as

well as being listed as breeders and co-owners

of Golden Slipper Stakes(Gr 1, 1200m) winner

Farnan (Not A Single Doubt).

Several yards in Britain and Ireland train

runners owned by Phoenix Thoroughbreds or the

affiliated Phoenix Ladies Syndicate. Both sets of

colours were in action at the Curragh on Sunday

when Forever In Dreams (Dream Ahead) finished

third and Back To Brussels (Starspangledbanner)

fifth in the same Group 3 sprint.

Since the allegations surrounding

Abdulaziz emerged, there have been a string of

departures from the operation.

On Saturday the Racing Post revealed vice-

president and respected racing professional

Tom Ludt had cut ties, joining the likes of

bloodstock adviser Dermot Farrington and

trainers Bob Baffert and Martyn Meade.

Abdulaziz was the subject of sensational

allegations in a New York court last year, as it

was claimed he was linked to the fraudulent

cryptocurrency OneCoin.

The fake cryptocurrency was revealed to be a

global Ponzi scheme, and it is alleged money from

the scheme may have been invested in the self-

styled "world’s first regulated thoroughbred fund".

Court testimony alleged Abdulaziz and his

Phoenix Fund Investments, the Dubai-registered

parent company of Phoenix Thoroughbreds, were

a key component of the network washing money

for those behind the fraudulent scheme, which

has been described as one of the biggest financial

scams ever perpetrated.

Phoenix and Abdulaziz have categorically

denied the allegations, and he and Phoenix

representatives have declined to respond to any

specific questions submitted by the Racing Post

since November.

BY HARRY TROY | @RACINGMACAU

First season trainer Wayne Smith

enjoyed his best weekend to date

leading in four winners over the two

days of racing, three of those in big

wins on Sunday.

The speedy Chapman Way (Strategic

Maneuver) was the first of Smith’s winners on

Friday night when he led throughout to win the

Class 5 & 6 over 1200 metres under apprentice

Eric Cheung.

Fired out of the gates by Cheung, the son

of Strategic Maneuver (Royal Academy) led

clearly on the bridle. Set alight at the top of the

straight, Chapman Way had a big lead inside the

200-metre mark, and although tiring late, the

gelding held on to win by a half length over the

fast finishing Joyful Commander (Swiss Ace),

with Californiatreasure (Onemorenomore) in

third.

On Sunday’s mixed turf and sand card,

Smith struck early in race two with Knows It

All (Bachelor Duke), who bolted away for a six

lengths win in the Class 3 & 4 over 1510 metres

under Japanese rider Massa Tanaka.

Knows It All is a former highly promising

galloper that at one stage was being touted as a

potential Derby (Listed, 1800m) prospect after

winning four races from his first six starts in

Macau, from 1050 metres (sand) to 1800 metres

turf.

Formerly with Victor Chan, the gelding’s

form tapered off after April this year and he was

transferred to Wayne Smith. Sunday was his

fifth run under Smith and the son of Bachelor

Duke (Miswaki) looks to be right back at the top

of his game.

Star Of Yiu Cheung (Casino Prince) was

the next of Smith’s winners on Sunday when he

made amends for his short head Derby defeat

by romping home in the Class 2 & 3 over 1500

metres.

Ridden by Peter Ho, Star Of Yiu Cheung

never looked in doubt in the run racing away

for a four and a half lengths victory over

Association Seven (Manhattan Rain).

Star of Yiu Cheung was Smith’s first winner

as trainer back in October and is no doubt

the stable star. The impressive looking son of

Casino Prince (Flying Spur) has put together a

superb record of nine starts for four wins and

five second placings; his biggest beaten margin

has been one and a quarter lengths over 1050

metres on the sand.

The gelding was runner up in the Derby

Trial (Listed, 1500m) by a short head to Winnie

Star (Medaglia d’Oro), the Macau Guineas

(Listed, 1500m) by a half length to Hostwin

Saturn (Stratum), and the Macau Derby by a

short head to Sacred Magnate (Foxwedge).

In both the Derby Trial and the Guineas he

spoiled his chances by overacing badly.

Ocean Warrior (Ocean Park) was the last

of Smith’s winners on Sunday when Fausto

Henrique caught his rival jockeys sleeping and

pinched the 45-0 maiden over 1500 metres.

Henrique was allowed to stride away with

a six length lead over his opponents in the back

and it was obvious at the six hundred that the

race was in his keeping. The diminutive son of

the 2012 Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) winner Ocean

Park (Zabeel) ran out a six length winner over

Goal Achiever (Star Witness), with Master Of

Mars (Master of Design) in third.

“I’m obviously thrilled that Star Of Yiu

Cheung won so well today after what’s been an

unlucky season for him.” Smith said.

“Ocean Warrior looks a very exciting

prospect for next season; a small horse with a

big heart and still a lot of improvement in him.

“Knows It All was a bit of a challenge when

I got him and it was great to see him winning

so well; I think we can improve him more next

season.”

Smith was full of praise for his owners and

his stable staff after Sunday’s victories.

“It’s a red letter day for the yard. I’m

totally grateful to my owners for their

patience and their support in allowing me

to take my time and not rush the horses.

Also a big shout out to my staff who are

the hardest working lads in the Club, they

totally deserve the success.”

A former Champion jockey in Dubai

where he was based for 19 years, Smith only

commenced training in September last year

and after Sunday has now a total of 14 winners

for the season, and a further 21 placings with 14

of those making the quinella spot, from a total

of 122 runners.

Japanese rider Massa Tanaka also enjoyed

a fine weekend booting home a treble over

the two days to take him to 12 winners for

the season, a great effort considering he only

arrived in January this year just before the

Covid -19 interruption to racing.

Tanaka was successful in the last of the

night of Friday on the Stephen Chow-trained

Honey Biscuit (Showcasing). The model of

consistency arrived in the nick of time to win

the Class 5 & 6 over 1510 metres.

Treasure Honey (Real Impact) was his

second winner for the weekend when he

showed plenty of fight to take out the Class 5

& 6 on Sunday, before coming out in the next

the Class 3 & 4 over 1510 metres with a big

win on Wayne Smith’s Knows It All (Bachelor

Duke).

Hard working Tanaka has firmly entrenched

himself in Macau racing after successful years

in New Zealand and Korea.

de l'Arc de Triomphe (Gr 1, 2400m) contender

after a dominant success in the Prix Hocquart (Gr

2, 2500m) at Deauville on Saturday. He becomes

the 37th Stakes winner for Le Havre (Noverre),

who stands at Montfort et Preaux for €50,000 in

2020 (approx AUD$82,200).

Mastercraftsman - The Roger Charlton-

trained five-year-old Extra Elusive (5 g ex

Nessina by Hennessy) followed up his second

in the Steventon Stakes (Listed, 1m 2f) last

month with his first stakes victory in the Rose of

Lancaster Stakes (Listed, 1m2f) at Haydock on

Saturday. Placed four times in stakes company,

including third in the Gordon Richards

Stakes (Gr 3, 1m 2f) last year, this was his first

stakes win and he became the 71st individual

stakes winner for former Coolmore shuttler

Mastercraftsman (Danehill Dancer), who

stood in Ireland for a fee of €25,000 (approx

AUD$41,000) in 2020.

Mayson - A surprise victory for 20-1 shot

Maystar (3 g ex Oakley Star by Multiplex) in

the Prix Moonlight Cloud (Listed, 1200m) on

Sunday saw Mayson (Invincible Spirit) claim

a seventh career stakes winner. Mayson stood

at Cheveley Park Stud for £5,000 (approx

AUD$9,100) in 2020.

Not A Single Doubt - Saturday’s Rosebud

(Listed, 1100m) at Rosehill was another

reminder of the loss Not A Single Doubt

(Redoute’s Choice) is to the Australian

breeding industry after his son Anders (3 c ex

Madame Andree by War Emblem) dominated

the $140,000 event. The 73rd individual stakes

winner for Arrowfield Stud sire Not A Single

Doubt, who was pensioned earlier this year,

Anders joins fellow Aquis Farm-owned colt, the

Golden Slipper (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Farnan,

and the likes of Miracles Of Life, Extreme

Choice and Kenedna as stakes winners for the

stallion. He covered 94 mares in 2019, his 15th

and final season at stud.

Pride Of Dubai - Star Of Emaraaty (2 f

ex La Grande Elisa by Ad Valorem) sprung a

surprise in the Sweet Solera Stakes (Gr 3, 7f)

at Newmarket on Saturday scoring at 66-1 and

becoming the first European stakes winner and

second overall for Pride Of Dubai (Street Cry).

Pride Of Dubai is represented in Australia with

Listed scorer Tanker and stands at Coolmore

for a fee of $38,500 (inc GST) in 2020.

Sir Prancealot - Cornerstone Stud shuttler

Sir Prancealot (Tamayuz) sired his eighth

individual stakes winner when Miss Amulet (2

f ex Sheena’s Dream by Oasis Dream) ran on to

land the Marwell Stakes (Listed, 5f) at Naas on

Monday. Grade 1 winning sire Sir Prancealot

will stand at Cornerstone in South Australia for

a reduced fee of $9,900 (inc GST) in 2020.

War Front - O’Brien senior may have been

out of luck when his two runners finished out

of the frame in the Silver Flash, but he was soon

back in familiar territory when Military Style

(2 c ex Together Forever by Galileo) led home

stablemate Van Gogh (American Pharoah)

to take out the Tyros Stakes (Gr 3, 7f) and

become War Front’s (Danzig) 93rd individual

stakes winner. War Front stood at Claiborne

Farm in Kentucky for a fee of US$250,000

(approx AUD$347,000) in 2020, while his sire-

son Omaha Beach will this year shuttle to

Spendthrift Australia where he will stand for

$22,000 (inc GST).

If recent history is any guide, then

Western Australian galloper Gatting

faces a monumental task to repeat his

Eastern seaboard debut in the Group 1

Maybe Diva (Craiglee) Stakes win in tomorrow’s

Group 1 Underwood Stakes at Caulfield.

Not only does the son of Hard Spun have

to defy the usually huge odds against longshot

winners repeating, he’d become just the third

horse in 30 years to complete the double; 25

have tried and only Weekend Hussler (2008)

and Northerly (2002) have been successful.

Furthermore, none the past ten Craiglee

Stakes winners has managed to win another race

during the spring which is verily dumbfounding

and must cast some doubt over its Group 1 status

in a Melbourne carnival which, ridiculously, has

six Group 1 races from 1600 metres to 2040 metres

in about as many weeks.

In contrast, the Group 2 Feehan Stakes

— won this year by Homesman — has been a

much better portent of things to come through

the balance of the spring carnival.

Six of the past ten Feehan winners have

won again in the coming weeks. The exceptions

include Rekindled Interest and Whobegotyou,

who were later placed in Cox Plates, and Magic

Consol who didn’t race again that year.

Four of the past five Underwood Stakes

winners have come via the Feehan including,

of course, Homesman who won last year after

finishing second in the Moonee Valley race and

he looks a superior horse in 2019.

Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman won

the 2017 Underwood with four-year-old mare

Bonneval [who’d won the Feehan] and they

saddle another four-year-old, this time male,

in The Chosen One — who looks the principal

danger to Homesman.

The follow-up form of major race winners

is something of a fascination and generally less

impressive than you might think. Examining

the two major races at Caulfield last Saturday is

interesting.

Begood Toya Mother was a fast and

spectacular winner of the Rupert Clarke Stakes

albeit with a “fired up” Iconoclasm providing

him with some unexpected cover.

Begood Toya Mother is now expected to be

spelled. Moment Of Change, a low weighted

Rupert Clarke winner like Begood Toya Mother,

is the only victor in recent memory [certainly in

the past ten years] to have had an immediate

break and he returned to run second to Black

Caviar in the Group 1 Lightning Stakes and then

went on to win a brace of Group 1 races.

Trust In A Gust and Stratum Star are the

only Rupert Clarke winners, in the past ten

years, to score again that spring - taking the

Group 1 Toorak Handicap and Group 3 Coongy

Handicap respectively.

Similarly, last weekend’s Group 3

Naturalism Stakes has produced just two

subsequent springtime winners in the past

decade; Jameka who went on to win the Group

1 Caulfield Cup and December Draw who won

the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes before failing in

the Caulfield Cup.

It’s a case of Feehan versusCraiglee in Sunday’s Underwood

Gatting SPORTPIX

Lindsey Smith has pulled off

a remarkable training feat by

managing to rejuvenate the

once retired Black Heart Bart

(Blackfriars) to win his sixth Group 1 race and

second Underwood Stakes (1800m) - three

years on from his first victory in the Caulfield

feature.

Western Australian Smith took over the

Warrnambool stables once owned by Black

Heart Bart’s disqualified trainer Darren Weir

and was asked by the horse’s owners to attempt

to resurrect the nine-year-old gelding’s career.

Smith conceded that he was not overly

confident that Black Heart Bart would make

it back to the races until an encouraging

Cranbourne barrier trial effort last month.

"Before he trialled I started to doubt, but

then he trialled well," Smith said.

"His first race was good and then his second

run was plain, but we thought getting him up to

the 1800 metres would be good as he wouldn't

be chasing all the time.

"It's a good result." Continued on page 2>>

MORNING BRIEFING

Dunn gets job doneon RenewalWayne Hawkes believes the key to Renewal’s

Listed win was Dwayne Dunn not panicking

despite being last and a long way off the leader

Zoustyle. "He had a terrible run in transit but

the biggest thing was Dwayne didn't panic,"

Hawkes said. "He just saved it to the last little

bit and he hit the line well." Zoustyle’s trainer

Tony Gollan was ruing the fact that his smart

sprinter missed the stakes win by such a narrow

margin. "It's a big learning curve for him. It's his

first trip away and this was his first time racing

the Melbourne way of going,” Gollan said. "I

think it's important if I can just keep him in his

right grade I can keep him progressing along.

We won't aim too high I don't think at this

stage. And I think if we come back this time

next year we're going to have a bona fide Group

1 horse." Morning Briefing page 12 >>

Black Heart Bart ($101) held off last

year's winner, the $2.50 favourite Homesman (War Front), to win by a

short neck.

Fellow Warrnambool-trained veteran Gailo Chop (Deporvito) ($26)

was one and a half lengths away in third.

The Blackfriars (Danehill) gelding ran eighth first-up in the Memsie

Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) behind his new stablemate Scales Of Justice (Not A

Single Doubt), before running 11th in last week’s Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes

(Gr 1, 1400m) behind Begood Toya Mother (Myboycharlie).

"Even though those two runs might have looked a bit plain, he was

warming up and I've been happy with him," jockey Brad Rawiller said.

"Today, the whole way through the run I was thinking 'geez, we're

going to be in this'."

It was Black Heart Bart’s first win since the 2017 Futurity Stakes (Gr

1, 1400m). He was retired by Weir and his owners almost 12 months ago

after finishing well back in last year’s Toorak Handicap (Gr 1, 1600m).

An emotional Rawiller, the long-time rider of Black Heart Bart, was

delighted to see the gelding return to Group 1 winning form.

It also capped Rawiller’s own comeback from a broken neck which

almost ended his career, having been kept on the sidelines for nearly six

months after being seriously injured last October.

"I've won a Golden Slipper and a Caulfield Cup and I never looked like

getting teary, and I'm nearly in tears," he said.

"It's just amazing. I can't put it into words. Since coming back from my

broken neck it's been a long road.

"At the end of the day I haven't had much to look forward to as far as

rides for the spring and Black Heart Bart was always just my sole focus.

"I've been really happy with how he has been coming along.

"Last week after the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes when I was asked about

him, I said 'he lit the fire today'. But you've still got to see it.

"I'm still overwhelmed myself, to be honest, even though I thought he

could win today."

YESTERDAY'S STAKES RACE RESULTS FROM | MOONEE VALLEY | PAGE 13

Nature Strip (Nicconi) staked his

claim for a potential shot at The

Everest (1200m) when silencing

his doubters with an impressive

victory in the AJ Moir Stakes (Gr 1, 1000m) at

The Valley last night.

The Chris Waller-trained gelding

harboured plenty of criticism after his last

start in the Concorde Stakes (Gr 3, 1000m)

when he failed to settle on the front end.

However, he showed he is a bona fide Group

1 horse with an impressive win in the $1

million sprint.

Ridden by James McDonald, Nature Strip

began well from the inside barrier and was able

to hold the inside advantage to eventually lead.

The track record holder over the course

and distance from last year's McEwen Stakes

(Gr 2, 1000m) Nature Strip kicked strongly

around the turn and was able to hold off a

gallant Miss Leonidas (I Am Invincible) by a

short neck. Continued on page 2>>

Everest-bound filly Sunlight (Zoustar)

closed strongly late to finish the same distance away in third with Ian

McEwen Stakes winner Faatinah (Nicconi) another short-head further

back in fourth.

Waller admitted after the race that the horse gets a lot of negative

attention, but this win might put a stop to the bad press.

"He's a popular horse," Waller joked. "We seem to get more criticism

with him than we ever got with

another certain horse [Winx]

who was probably our last Group

1 winner here.

"That's racing, everyone has

got their opinions. He's a good

horse and today he stepped away

well. James didn't panic he just

got there gradually and it was a

good race.

"You think punters get

frustrated, well owning a horse

and training a horse when you're

running in these types of races,

it's a bitter pill to take when you

don't quite get it right.

"So I think it's a good reward to everybody and I hope the punters had

something on as well and got a bit back from last start when apparently I

did everything wrong."

Waller hopes Nature Strip secures a spot in the $14 million Everest at

Randwick on October 19 and the gelding will now head to the Schillaci

Stakes (Gr 2, 1100m) at Caulfield on October 12 - the winner of that race

will represent the Melbourne Racing Club in the $14 million sprint a week

later.

"I don't think 1200 metres is a problem," Waller said. "I'd say we'll just

see what unfolds in the next few days. If he doesn't get an invite for The

Everest I guess the Schillaci Stakes is the logical choice."

Meanwhile, trainer Shaun Dwyer said Miss Leonidas ran a great race

while Sunlight's co-trainer Tony McEvoy could not hide his delight over

the mare's performance.

McEvoy said he would run Sunlight the Gilgai Stakes at Flemington,

two weeks before The Everest at Randwick.

"I'm pumped," McEvoy said. "I feel like I've won the race.

"The risk was the 1000 meters tonight and that's all that cost her the

race."

Passed in for $90,000 (reserve $120,000) at the 2016 Inglis Melbourne

Premier Yearling Sale, Nature Strip (5 g Nicconi - Strikeline by Desert Sun)

took his record to 11 wins and two placings from 18 starts for prize-money

of $1,879,285.
