TRANSCRIPT
Mike Kneebone believes a
stellar 12 months for New
Zealand-bred stock on the
racetrack, particularly in
Australia, has reminded buyers about the
opportunities the country offers thoroughbred
owners and trainers.
Less than a week out from the 2020 New
Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale, the
auction house’s Australian-based business
development manager is confident that this
year’s three-book catalogue will appeal to a
competitive international buying bench.
There are 667 Book 1 yearlings on offer, to
be auctioned across three sessions, starting
on Sunday, before Books 2 and 3 go under the
hammer from January 29 to 31.
Kneebone believes the key indicators are
encouraging ahead of the opening selling
session at Karaka. Continued on page 2>>

New Zealand Bloodstock buoyed by early interest in Karaka Yearling SaleStrong on-track performances on international stage by country’s thoroughbreds boost 2020 auction
MORNING BRIEFING
Not A Single Doubt forced into retirement from stud dutiesArrowfield Stud yesterday announced that
leading sire Not A Single Doubt (Redoute’s
Choice) has been retired from stud duties after
the 18-year-old was diagnosed with pulmonary
disease which despite treatment has shown no
improvement.
“He suffers respiratory compromise at rest and
even short periods of hand walking exacerbate
this,” Arrowfield’s chairman John Messara
explained.
“Our head vet has advised that Not A Single
Doubt is incapable of performing his breeding
duties and accordingly he has been retired from
active service.” Stud News page 9 >>

“We have our
own hospitality people who have been flat out for
the past couple of months organising bookings
and hotels for clients, so we’ve got a pretty good
handle (on who is coming),” Kneebone said.
“There’s probably more than last year at this
stage, but they change their minds quickly, so
we hope that we have at least the same sort of
numbers as last year.
“From what I’m hearing on the ground, and
from the number of catalogues that are leaving
the office, as well as from the positive feedback
we’ve had through our canvases, I’m pretty
happy with the way it looks.
“Like all auction houses, we are cautious but
positive.”
The success of New Zealand-bred horses
in Australia during the spring, headlined by Te
Akau Shark (Rip Van Winkle), Kolding (Ocean Park) and VRC Oaks (Gr 1,
2500m) winner Miami Bound (Reliable Man), only helped to reinforce the
opportunities Karaka presented, according to Kneebone.
“(New Zealand-breds) have had a great season right throughout the
world, but particularly in Australia where it has probably been one of our
best seasons for a number of years,” he said.
“We’ve got 14 new season sires there and a lot more new blood as far
as mares go and, on top of that, we do have an advantage in the way that
the foals have been grown this
year. Unfortunately, the way the
drought has affected Australia,
we’ve had the natural advantage
(with New Zealand’s climate).”
Perennial champion sire
Savabeel (Zabeel) will again
underpin the sale, with 74 Book
1 yearlings catalogued while the
new blood of freshman sires
Tarzino (Tavistock), Turn Me
Loose (Iffraaj), Tivaci (High Chaparral) and Preferment (Zabeel) is also
likely to capture buyers' attention.
The father and sons training operation of Hawkes Racing was a leading
buyer at the Magic Millions sale and Kneebone hoped Australian stables
of their ilk would also make their presence felt at Karaka.
Early bookings have suggested that Hong Kong buyers would also be
on the ground in New Zealand, despite the ongoing political turmoil in
their country as well as the sale clashing with Chinese New Year.
“As we saw on the Gold Coast, when one, two or three buyers don’t
turn up, someone arrives to fill in their shoes, so if they do that alternative
thing, there’s others that are coming who didn’t come last year.
“If you have a look at people like (Tony) McEvoy, the Hawkes’, those big
buyers, they will alternate (between sales) sometimes depending on what
they are buying, but I’m confident that all the big names will be there.”
Leading buyers at last year’s sale with horses heading to Australia
were highlighted by Guy Mulcaster and Chris Waller who bought eight
yearlings, Ciaron Maher Racing (nine) and the de Burgh Equine/
Shadwell Stud partnership who secured four yearlings for NZ$1.45
million.

Godolphin, Orbis Bloodstock and
agent John Foote, who are all expected to be in attendance next week,
were also active.
Te Akau principal David Ellis, the long-time leading buyer at the
Karaka sale, has again been impressed by what he has seen of this year’s
yearlings.
“I think the mild winter we have had has really boosted the yearlings
as I have seen so many that are well grown, correct and very athletic,” Ellis
said.
“This year’s catalogue has a great mix with some of our proven stallions
but I’ve also seen individuals by the first season sires like Vadamos, Turn
Me Loose and Tivaci, to name a few, that I really like so there will be
something on offer for everyone.”
Cambridge Stud chief executive Henry Plumptre, who oversees the
Brendan and Jo Lindsay-owned operation, was circumspect about the
NZB sale despite strong market sentiment experienced at the Gold Coast.
“I’ve been asked to predict how the Karaka sale will go, and my reply
was that I don’t make predictions,” Plumptre said.
“I think that any expectation that we’ll just continue off what happened
in the Magic Millions Sale would
be wrong. We’re not offering the
same product, and it’s not the
same market.
“We’re selling different
types of horses who’ll run over
different distances. But hopefully
we can entice a good number of
Australian buyers over – they are
our major market. New Zealand
Bloodstock has given good
reports about bookings and
things like that.”
Kneebone did not
necessarily disagree with
Plumptre’s view.
“Like all markets, if (Magic
Millions) have a good sale,
then it’s a good thing for the
industry and
that normally
follows on for us
as well,” he said.
“Yes, they are two different sales, but at the end of the
day, people are going there to buy a certain type of horse
and then they come to New Zealand to buy another type
of horse before moving onto other sales as well.”
The NZB Karaka Yearling Sale is preceded by
Saturday’s twilight Karaka Million race meeting at Ellerslie
and Kneebone said that also augured well for the auction.
“The Karaka Million is huge now. That is one thing
where we can see whether or not the numbers are getting
bigger because people are ringing up wanting to go to the
races from overseas,” he said.
“That (NZB) VIP hospitality marquee has got bigger
and bigger each year. The Aussies love a good race day
and it’s one of the best you can go to.”

AUSTRALIA
Avalon back for John Dillion StakesThe Shane Nichols-trained Streets Of Avalon
(Magnus) will begin his autumn campaign in
Saturday’s John Dillon Stakes (Listed, 1400m)
at Caulfield, after plans to race the five-year-
old in Dubai were shelved. "It was always in the
preparation to have him ready for 1400 metres
first-up because initially a month ago he was
going to go to Dubai and run on Thursday over
1400 metres, but it was too expensive to fly him
there," Nichols said. "So he has had two trials
and he is going to improve on whatever he does
but he will run in the John Dillon. With 59.5
kilos off a 54 minimum he can be competitive,
but it does make it tough for him to win under
those conditions. But he's in really good shape
and he's sound and well.”
Track conditions todecide Saturday targetsUnderfoot conditions could prove to be a key
factor in the final destination for a number
of potential runners in Saturday’s feature
races. Crack Me Up (Mossman) and Wu
Gok (Sebring) are equal topweights for the
Carrington Stakes (Listed, 1400m) at Randwick
with the pair also in the mix for the Sunshine
Coast Cup (Listed, 1400m) in Queensland.
Randwick was rated soft yesterday with rain
forecast later in the week while some rain could
fall up north. Sambro (Fastnet Rock), Chapter
And Verse (Rothesay) and Intuition (Street Cry)
are also entered in both races with acceptances
taken this morning. The Ciaron Maher and
David Eustace-trained Yulong January (King
Of Prussia), winner of his past four starts, is
entered for both the Carrington and the John
Dillon Stakes at Caulfield.
Diamond pathnot confirmed for Larimer StreetThe Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained
Tagaloa (Lord Kanaloa) will take his chance
in Saturday’s Blue Diamond Preview (C&G)
(Listed, 1000m) at Caulfield but a decision on
whether stablemate Larimer Street (Brazen
Beau) will join him will be left until later in the
week. "We're 50-50 with Larimer Street at this
stage, we'll speak to the owners over the next
couple of days and weigh things up," Busuttin
told Racing.com. “He galloped very strongly
this morning so we're just thinking about which
is the best way to get to the Blue Diamond. He'll
only have one shot at it, whether it be this race
or the Prelude, so we'll probably pay up (for
Saturday) and see what the draw is."
Busuttin excited about Acting’s autumnGroup 2-winning filly Acting (Savabeel) will
run in next month’s Kevin Hayes Stakes (Gr 3,
1200m) at Caulfield with connections already
having an eye on big-race targets further
down the line. The filly has not been seen

since finishing fifth in the Thousand Guineas
(Gr 1, 1600m) in October and co-trainer Trent
Busuttin explained: "We purposely pulled the
pin straight after the Guineas, we didn't want to
push her further, so she's had a good break and
she's definitely come back bigger and stronger.
She'll trial up next week and she's entered for
the Group 3 fillies race over 1200m (Kevin
Hayes Stakes) first-up on February 8.” Looking
further afield, Busuttin told Racing.com:
"Basically she'll tell us where to go from there
but I'm looking forward to seeing her get over
a trip in Sydney later on in races like the Vinery
and the Oaks. She's bred to get out over further
and she'll love a wet track if it's wet up there.”
Missile on track for All-Star spot
Currently sitting at the top of voting for the
$5 million All Star Mile (1600m), Star Missile
(Smart Missile) looks likely to gain a spot
in the race at Caulfield on March 14. Voting
opened last week and the Greg Eurell-trained
Star Missile, who has a large group of owners
in a Hancox Bloodstock syndicate, leads the
way ahead of star Queensland three-year-old
Alligator Blood (All Too Hard). "He will trial
next week at Geelong and have his first run
at Flemington on the 15th on February in a
1400-metre open handicap," Eurell said. "He'll
then step into either the Shaftesbury Avenue
over 1400 metres or the Blamey Stakes at 1600,
and then hopefully from there it gives us a
couple of weeks to the All-Star Mile."
All-Star no certainty for MotherBegood Toya Mother (Myboycharlie) heads
to Friday’s Australia Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) at
Moonee Valley figuring prominently in early
voting for the All-Star Mile but trainer Daniel
Bowman said the five-year-old is far from
certain to head to Caulfield for the valuable
race. The gelding sits in sixth position in early
polling and he is on the fourth line of betting
at $15 with Alligator Blood the $6 favourite. "At
the moment we've definitely locked in Friday
night's race and then the Orr and the Futurity,"
Bowman said. "And then it will depend how
he races in those races. If he wins one of the
two 1400-metre Group 1s, it might be an All-
Star Mile. If he doesn't win one of them it will
potentially be a Queensland preparation for
three Group 1s."
Sandown test for Paris PikeParis Pike (Uncle Mo) will attempt to illustrate
his Australian Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) credentials
when he lines up in the Le Pine Funerals Plate
(1300m) at Sandown today. The colt is among
106 three-year-olds entered for the Group 1
contest at Flemington on February 29 along
with three of his rivals in today’s race - Bellows
(Zoffany), By A Whisker (Fastnet Rock) and
Recognise (Zoustar). "It was worth throwing a
nomination in and it will be interesting just to
see what he does," trainer Greg Eurell said. "I
don't mind the horse. I think he has improved
since last time in. He's still a colt but he's a very
big horse. I think he's quite tough and I like his
attitude for a colt. It will just be interesting to
see what he can do."
Price/Kent to unleashmore 2YOsThe Mick Price-Mick Kent Jnr partnership will
unveil another pair of potentially talented two-
year-olds at Moonee Valley on Friday, after the
duo pleased in their work on Monday morning.
Loudspeaker (Sepoy) and Outflank (Tapit)
have been given the go ahead to contest the
$60,000 two-year-old maiden (1000m) with
Kent Jnr reporting the latter to be the furthest
forward. "Both have had two jump-outs, both
have gone well," Kent Jnr told Racing.com. "She
(Outflank) led the gallop in front of the Sepoy
filly Loudspeaker. I thought on the line the
Tapit filly was going the better, but she is more
exuberant. (We) just need to get a nice run on
Friday night, hopefully she can relax. She's the
sort of filly that will roll forward.”
Nature Strip wins trial
Star sprinter Nature Strip (Nicconi) showed
he is on target for a first-up tilt at next month’s
Lightning Stakes (Gr 1, 1000m) when he
cruised to a barrier trial win at Warwick Farm
yesterday. The three-time Group 1 winner
easily led the 900 metre heat on the course
proper and went to the line hard-held under
James McDonald. White Moss (Mossman)
was second throughout and maintained that
position from Nature Strip's Chris Waller-
trained stablemate Yes Yes Yes (Rubick) who
worked home strongly ahead of Godolphin
mare Alizee (Sepoy). Waller has Royal Ascot
ambitions for both Nature Strip and Everest
(1200m) winner Yes Yes Yes. Nature Strip is
slated to resume at Flemington on February
15 while three-year-old Yes Yes Yes may also
run in the race or begin his campaign in
Sydney.
SA stars please at Morphettville trialsDanehill Stakes (Gr 2 1200m) winner Dalasan
(Dalakhani) impressed his connections at
the Morphettville jump-outs yesterday ahead
of his return in the Manfred Stakes (Gr 3,
1200m) at Caulfield next Saturday. "Stubby
(Jason Holder, jockey) said he had to shake
him up at one stage but that's him," co-
trainer Leon Macdonald said. Meanwhile,
the Heath 1100 Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) runner-
up Gytrash (Lope de Vega) also impressed
trainer Gordon Richards in his heat. "Gytrash
was having his first serious piece of work this
campaign and I was satisfied with his work
and more so the way he pulled up," Richards
told Racing.com. “The plan is to run Gytrash
first-up in the Lightning at Flemington on
February 15.”

Murphy excited about HastaNaracoorte based-trainer Sue Murphy is as
excited as she has ever been about one of her
horses after Hasta La War’s (Declaration Of
War) win at Murray Bridge over 1600 metres
on Saturday. "The phone has continued to ring
hot since Saturday with prospective buyers and
they've been talking telephone numbers almost
with the figures, but honestly he's not for sale,"
Murphy said. "That's why I've been going to the
sales for years to find him. Why am I going to sell
him and buy another 10 with the money looking
for another one?” Winner of the $100,000 Skybeau
Stayers Series Final (2500m) at Morphettville on
November 5 last year, Hasta La War’s next start is
likely to be in the Birthday Cup (Listed, 200m) at
Morphettville on February 15 ahead of a possible
Adelaide Cup (Gr 2, 3200m) tilt.
Rae eyes change of luck with O’Brien importYoung trainer Alexander Rae has described
the last 12 months as frustrating but is hoping
for a change of luck in 2020 and he prepares
Group 1-placed European import Fleet Review
(War Front) for the autumn. Formerly trained
by Aidan O’Brien, the five-year-old entire has
had over a year off of the track to overcome
feet issues but worked impressively at Moonee
Valley on Monday. "Time has done him the
world of good and there's absolutely no sign of
any feet issues - he's going really well," Rae told
Racing.com. "With all that time off, taking him
to Moonee Valley to get the blood flowing again
is pretty important for a five-year-old stallion.”
Rae has flagged the Rubiton Stakes (Gr 2,
1100m) or Southern Cross Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m)
as potential starting points for Fleet Review.
O’Meara cleared to rideAfter being involved in a trackwork incident on
August 26 last year, Shanae O’Meara has been
cleared to return to the saddle after undergoing
a CT scan on Monday and meeting with her
neurosurgeon. "I was in hospital until 28 October,
and then I was an outpatient," O’Meara said. “I'm
still doing rehab at the moment, but next week
will be my last week. He (neurosurgeon) said that
I had no swelling whatsoever of the brain, and that
the bone had closed over, and would continue to
strengthen.” On being able to ride again, O’Meara
added: "I'm very excited; it doesn't feel real. I
never thought it would happen this quickly. I'm
so grateful for the support everyone has given me.
The racing industry has been great."

Pike confident aheadof Karaka MillionTony Pike expressed his confidence in his
Karaka Million 2YO (RL, 1200m) contender
Not An Option (Not A Single Doubt) after the
Group 2 winner galloped around the Ellerslie
course. “His work on Monday was good,” Pike
said. “He got up against the rail and Leith
(Innes, jockey) was really pleased with how he
handled the tight turn with the rail out. We are
pretty happy going forward, especially as the
horse he worked with, Merlini, is a pretty sharp
sort of sprinter. He finished his work off nicely
and pulled up well so we are pleased going into
Saturday. I think he just got a bit lost around the
turn at his first go at Ellerslie. That experience
and the gallop there on Monday should result in
him being a lot more professional on Saturday.”
Expensive 3YO todebut at AvondaleTrainer Grant Cooksley is hoping Dragon Run
(More Than Ready), a NZ$500,000 New Zealand
Bloodstock Yearling Sale purchase, can kick off
his career on a winning note when he runs in
a 1200 metre maiden at Avondale today. The
three-year-old half-brother to Group 2 winner
Ego (E Dubai) has shown promise but had his
debut delayed after a setback last year. “He
had a wind operation, but seems to have come
through it well,” Cooksley said. “He has shown
ability and won nicely at the trials. He’s got the
inside draw and it’ll all depend on how good he
jumps out. It’s going to be interesting.”
ASIA
Spencer lands Sacred ride at Sha TinJamie Spencer, former champion jockey in both
Ireland and the UK, will be on board Sacred
Capital (O’Reilly) when the Macau star returns
to Sha Tin to contest Monday’s Centenary
Vase (Gr 3, 1800m). “The owners were keen
to get Jamie Spencer to fly in for the day to
ride him, fortunately that has worked out for
us,” trainer Joe Lau said. “The horse travelled
back very well on the barge after his last run
and he has pleased me at home since then.
He has now arrived back safely again in Hong
Kong for Monday’s race.” Ryan Moore has also
been granted permission to ride at the annual
Chinese New Year meeting where he will be
on board More Than This (Dutch Art), a three-
time winner in the UK for Richard Fahey before
transferring to Francis Lui, in the feature race.
Winning Method heads Purton’s Valley bookZac Purton heads into today's Happy Valley
card with his smallest book of rides this season
but the champion jockey is upbeat that Winning
Method (Holy Roman Emperor) might ensure
a good strike-rate on the night. “A few horses I
was booked to ride didn’t get in; they were on
the reserve list,” the rider explained. Purton’s
five mounts on the nine-race card is one less
than his next lowest this term, but could have
been only four. The withdrawal of Brave Power
(Declaration Of War) resulted in standby starter
Winner’s Heart (Ambidexter) being promoted.

Winning Method lines up in the Class 3 Hoi
Yuen Handicap (1200m), and he is aiming to go
back-to-back. Grant van Niekerk partnered the
three-year-old for a return to form last time but
misses out to Purton due to suspension. “He’s
a boldly-going horse, he wants to get out there
and get on with it to get things done, we’ve seen
that at the races as well,” he said.
Lor hopes for Classic Mile repeatFrankie Lor swept the Four-Year-Old Classic
Series in 2019 but one year after Furore (Pierro)
set the ball rolling in the Hong Kong Classic Mile
(Listed, 1600m), the trainer is this time pinning
his hopes prudently rather than nailing them
assuredly. The horse carrying the Lor standard
into Monday’s first race of the three-leg series is
the promising Decrypt (Dark Angel) who finished
third behind Phoenix Of Spain (Lope De Vega)
and Too Darn Hot (Dubawi) in the Irish 2,000
Guineas (Gr 1, 1m) pre-import. Lor believes the
Series’ first leg will be within the scope of a horse
who scored over 1200m and 1400m in Ireland but
is unsure as to how he will stretch out for the Hong
Kong Classic Cup (Listed, 1800m) and Hong Kong
Derby (Listed, 2000m). “I think the mile should
be no problem – 1800 and 2000 metres, we don’t
know yet,” the trainer said.

Empire Maker goneEmpire Maker (Unbridled), the sire of 12 Grade
1 winners and grandsire of Triple Crown winner
American Pharoah (Pioneerof The Nile), died at
Gainesway Farm in Kentucky on Saturday aged
20, after a battle with a rare disease that affected
his immune system.
Bred and raced by Juddmonte Farm and trained
by Bobby Frankel, Empire Maker had a glittering
2003 campaign in which he was the only three-
year-old colt of his generation to win three Grade
1 races. He began his own career at stud the
following year at Juddmonte Farms in Lexington
before being sold to the Japan Bloodhorse
Breeders’ Association in November 2010. Empire
Maker stood at the Shizunai Stallion Station until
2015, when he was brought back from Japan by
Gainesway and Don Alberto.
53 for Uncle MoCarressa (4 f ex Iplaytricks by Desert Gold) made
it three wins in six starts when a successful turf
debut in the Megahertz Stakes (Gr 3, 8f) at Santa
Anita on Monday provided Uncle Mo (Indian
Charlie) with a 53rd individual stakes winner.
The John Shirreffs-trained four-year-old, who
was having her first start in stakes company,
beat Super Patriot (Unusual Heat) by three
quarters of a length, with another neck back to
La Sardane (Kingsalsa) in third. Carressa is the
first foal out of Iplaytricks (Desert Gold), who
also has a three-year-old American Pharoah
filly and a two-year-old California Chrome
(Lucky Pulpit) colt. She was purchased by
West Point Thoroughbreds and Vosburgh for

Arrowfield Stud yesterday
announced that leading sire Not A
Single Doubt (Redoute’s Choice)
has been retired from stud duties
after the 18-year-old was diagnosed with
pulmonary disease which despite treatment
has shown no improvement.
“He suffers respiratory compromise at
rest and even short periods of hand walking
exacerbate this,” Arrowfield’s chairman John
Messara explained.
“Our head vet has advised that Not A Single
Doubt is incapable of performing his breeding
duties and accordingly he has been retired from
active service.”
“Not A Single Doubt is a wonderful story
for Arrowfield and for many breeders, owners,
buyers and trainers, rising from the bottom of our
roster to become one of Australia’s most popular
and successful stallions,” Messara added.
“We are immensely grateful to him, and he
will be loved and cared for at Arrowfield for the
rest of his life.”
From the first-crop of the late champion
Redoute’s Choice (Danehill), Not A Single
Doubt is out of the stakes-placed mare Singles
Bar (Rory’s Jester) who herself was a half-sister
to top sire Snippets (Lunchtime).
Trained by Tony Vasil, he raced ten times
for four wins, including two at stakes level, plus
a further two placings.
Not A Single Doubt is the sire of 69 Group
and Listed winners from 1000 to 2600 metres,
including 25 juvenile stakes winners and 11
Group 1 winners headed by Extreme Choice,
Kenedna, Miracles Of Life, Scales of Justice,
Secret Agenda, Single Gaze & Samadoubt.
He was the leading Australian-based sire
on worldwide prize-money in 2015/16, has
been a top ten sire of two-year-olds since 2011
and is currently third on the Australian 2019/20
2YO Sires’ Premiership.
At the 2020 Magic Millions Gold Coast
Yearling Sale, Not A Single Doubt was the third
highest grossing stallion, with 32 lots sold for a
total of $11,025,000 at an average of $344,531.
He has two lots catalogued in Book 1 of the
upcoming New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka
Yearling Sale and five lots catalogued at each
of the Inglis Classic and Inglis Premier Yearling
sales.

Not A Single Doubt forced into retirement from stud duties
Not A Single Doubt ARROWFIELD
BY LLOYD JACKSON
Strong opposition to proposed
legislation affecting the racing
industry was aired at a feisty meeting
held at Awapuni Racecourse
yesterday evening.
Staged by the Racing Industry Transition
Agency’s (RITA) Dean McKenzie, the meeting
attracted more than 120 industry-associated
people from the Wellington, Taranaki,
Wanganui, Manawatu and Wairarapa districts.
Prior to the start of the meeting the writer
spoke with owner-breeders Mark Verran and
Charlie Rose. When asked if they thought there
might be some fireworks, both replied “We
certainly hope so!”
Among those in attendance were Alasdair
Robertson (chief executive of Race Group,
which oversees six racing clubs in the area),
Bernard Hickey (NZ Thoroughbred Owners
Association), trainers Jeff Lynds and Kevin Gray
plus Jim Wallace (trainer and studmaster of
Ardsley Stud) and Gary Thomas of Seaton Park.
McKenzie skipped any explanation of
proposed Racing Bill #2 and went straight to a
Q&A session which brought about a number
of questions and concerns, many of which will
very likely be raised at similar meetings this
week as well as at next week’s yearling sales.
Submissions to the select committee are open
until February 11th.
Early questioning surrounded the proposed
bill’s centralization of power with the Racing
Minister and his total control of re-appointment
of chairman, as well as the seven-member
board. The industry codes (thoroughbred
racing, harness racing and greyhounds) are
displeased that none will be represented in the
manner proposed and recommended in the
Messara Report, which is/was supposedly the
foundation of the legislation.
McKenzie’s response, that code-
represented appointees had not been successful
in the past, was countered with the belief that
those with “skin in the game” need to be on the
board rather than bureaucrat appointees.
A further question asked exactly who
McKenzie was working for: “The Minister or the
industry?”
Revenue, expenditure, profits, turnover and
the much hoped for increase in stakes monies
were other topics discussed. Also discussed
was intellectual property, who owned it and
what was it worth?
From young Oliver Bau (17) was: “Why is the
Racing Bill going to the Transport Committee and not
the Primary Production Committee, which handles
racing?” Oliver‘s parents are ex-jockey Trevor Bau and
past Trackside presenter Donna Beck.
Often under the gun, McKenzie held his
ground with his apparent support for the
proposed legislation as written. Given his
stance, he was understandably combative. The
writer also sensed a dismissive tone.
McKenzie promised to take the concerns to
the Minister but the dismissiveness prompted
one comment along the lines of: “Given your
support for the legislation as written compared
to our virtually 100 per cent negative response to
the legislation, how can we be sure that you will
transmit our concerns back to the Minister?”
While conducted is a respectful manner,
the meeting should have given McKenzie and
the RITA a clear indication that submissions
will be many and are opposed to what is a
departure from the Minister’s own comments
at the release of the Messara Report.

The ever-expanding Cranbourne
Turf Club’s training centre will be
home to South Africa’s Mike de
Kock; the currently Caulfield-based
combine Mick Price and Michael Kent junior
and to a relocating local Michael Kent (senior)
by the end of this year according to CTC chief
executive Neil Bainbridge.
“We’re finalising permits now and
construction of the new stables will begin in
four to six weeks and be completed within
six months,” Bainbridge told ANZ Bloodstock
News.
The Cranbourne Training Centre, the
largest thoroughbred training facility in the
southern hemisphere, currently services 750-
800 horses actively in work and will continue
to grow to cater for as many 1150 horses daily
as other Caulfield trainers, and possibly others
from alternate homes, join the migration to
the Cranbourne facility which now boasts four
grass training surfaces.
The changing landscape will also see a new
trainer take over the 40 box on-course barn
previously occupied by the now unlicensed
Robbie Laing, who vacated at the start of January.
“The club called for expressions of interest
which formally closed at 4pm on Monday.
The response was strong as you’d expect and
included pitches from quite a few external
trainers,” Bainbridge said.
De Kock’s son Matthew will arrive in
Melbourne in February and will work with the
Robbie Griffiths team to become more familiar
with the Cranbourne set-up while Michael Kent
has sold his off-track stables in Laurie Cleary
Lane, adjacent to the centre, and will move
to a 30 box barn on-course which he plans to
complement with a Gippsland farm.
Kent’s property sale also settles next month
and he intends to take a mid-year European
sabbatical before returning to training. In the
interim, his horses will be likely dispersed to
other trainers with Anthony Freedman and
Phillip Stokes earmarked for several of those
co-owned by the trainer.

Cranbourne training centre set for furtherexpansion as trainers look to relocate
Mike de Kock RACING POST
The club is, of course, delighted that a trainer of Mike de Kock’s stature has
chosen Cranbourne and it’s a measure of Robbie Griffiths’ good will and
great character that he’s happy to take on Matthew
who will become a rival

“The club is, of course, delighted that a
trainer of Mike de Kock’s stature has chosen
Cranbourne and it’s a measure of Robbie
Griffiths’ good will and great character that he’s
happy to take on Matthew who will become a
rival,” Bainbridge said.
“Matthew spent ten days or so here during
the last spring and we have consulted, at great
length, with father and son.
“We do have a phenomenal, stand-
alone training complex here with no racing
impediment and we are in the constant
process of upgrade with two new grass tracks, a
proposed second swimming pool which should
be completed by the end of the year and, longer
term, a major veterinary hospital which is
paramount given the focus on equine welfare.”
The centre’s two main grass tracks, of
2200 and 2400 metres, have been augmented
- in partnership with Racing Victoria - by a
1400-metre trial track which opened two weeks
ago and a 1700-metre track (25 metres wide
with state-of-the-art drainage) which should be
in operation by springtime.
“The state government and RV(Racing
Victoria) have committed $40 million to assist
in the relocation of trainers from Caulfield and
a $25 million spend will add 300 horses to our
capacity at Cranbourne,” Bainbridge continued.
“We have the space but everything has a
capacity and once we add 300 horses, I’m not sure
we’d be shopping around for further trainers. We’ve
had proposals from a large number of Caulfield-
based trainers already and we are going to see that
significant increase in horses numbers.”
De Kock, with a 60 horse barn; Prince
and Kent with 80 and Kent senior with 30,
will account for more than 50 per cent of the
expected increase.
“Now we’d average about 800 horses
training a day and that will therefore grow to
1100 or 1150 in active work,” Bainbridge said.
“Grass is still the preferred surface to train
on and we’ve listened and responded to that
and we also have the capacity to stage, every
Monday, official trials or jump-outs with the
latter effectively official trials these days.”
The on-course barns are constructed by the
club and industry on crown land and are leased
to the trainers. Kent senior is, in fact, paying for
the construction of his stables. “He is effectively
paying his rent in advance but will never own
it,” Bainbridge said.
Bainbridge said that the Cranbourne
door was not closed to Robbie Laing whose
bid to have his training licence reinstated was
rejected in December by RV which issued the
following statement: “In July, 2019, Victorian
trainer Robbie Laing was granted a short-
term renewal of his licence under a set of
financial conditions (valid until November
30). Mr Laing's licence was reviewed at Racing
Victoria's November board meeting with the
decision made not to renew his licence due to
some of the conditions not being met. Approval
of any future applications for a trainer's licence
will not be granted until Mr Laing is deemed a
financially suitable candidate."
“I would certainly see him (Laing) coming
back to train once his financial situation is sorted
out and and whether that’s at Cranbourne would
obviously depend on his desire and availability at
the time,” Bainbridge added.
In October 2014, the club opened its new
grandstand at the racecourse and announced
a $4.9 million investment to construct
the first phase of on-course stables which
eventually saw Robbie Griffiths, Greg Eurell,
Trent Bussuttin and Natalie Young and Enver
Jusufovic as the first tenants.
The Cranbourne Turf Club was last season’s
Country Racing Victoria Club of the Year.

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.

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."

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.

VERDICT C&D winner Garlic Yeah has been placed twice in higher-gradecompany here this season and has the services of Zac Purton
today, while Victorious Seeker shaped as though this longer trip might suit whensecond over 1m1f three weeks ago. However, the most interesting option is arguablywell-handicapped 7yo ART OF RAW, who gained his only Hong Kong win over C&Dand has performed respectably over inadequate trips for his new stable in recentweeks.

VERDICT All Times Grateful took a good step forward when placed heresix weeks ago and remains lightly raced but he is drawn wide and
preference is for NOBLE DESIRE, who made an encouraging debut when midfieldover 5f at Sha Tin this month and has plenty of potential over today’s longer trip.Compassion Star and Navas are others to consider.

VERDICT This rather uncompetitive contest can go to CONFUCIUS DAY,who ran a big race from the front when second over C&D a
fortnight ago and has now been placed four times over C&D this season. AuroraSteed needs to improve to overcome his double-digit draw but his latest run wasquite encouraging and it looks significant that Joao Moreira has moved in for theride. California Rad has a mixed recond after only four starts but ran well when lastin action.

VERDICT The oldest runner in the line-up STAR MAJESTIC has lackedthe pace to pose a serious threat in 6f Class 3 sprints on recent
outings but is a seven-time 1m winner and is sure to appreciate today’s drop ingrade. He gets the nod ahead of Shanghai Dragon, who ran well to a point on hisbelated seasonal debut and has been given a chance by the handicapper. FlashFamous and Royal Racer are others to consider.

VERDICT There was plenty to like about how Dr Proactive finished whenfourth to the useful G Unit here and he should relish the likely
strong gallop. The same can be said for EXCEL DELIGHT as he has the chance tosit behind the front rank and pounce late from a better draw than he has had of late.Super Winner and Island Winner look best of the rest.

VERDICT Not a huge number of these make significant appeal, with plentyhaving questions to answer. Sangria is respected on his recent
fourth place finish but remains on a long losing run, whilst Righteous Mate wasdisappointing when well supported in the market in his latest start. The likeliestwinner appears to be DOR DOR who made his breakthrough over C&D last monthand has the services of Joao Moreira who can sit and stalk from an inside draw.

VERDICT The resurgent Zhan Jiang Rocks seems highly likely to gowell once more, having won in good style here two runs ago
before finishing second on his only subsequent start just after Christmas. However,just a neck behind him on that occasion was RACING LUCK, who tries his luckagain here on the same terms. That effort suggested Francis Lui’s inmate can winshortly and the stable could hardly be in better form. Har Har Heart is respected atbigger odds.

Spring’s major racing has highlighted
again that jockeys are arguably
the world’s greatest sportsmen
and women and, almost without
question, the most unique.
Regardless of age or gender; regardless of
background, reputation or accomplishments
they compete on equal terms. This even applies
to children (teenagers) if they happen to have
outridden their claim.
The world’s best travel from country to
country - probably with a business class airfare
- but without an appearance fee.
There is no other legitimate and physically
demanding sport where this happens. They risk
their lives daily.
They have greater balance and dexterity
than Kelly Slater and Valentino Rossi combined.
Greater fitness and upper body strength than
any other athlete according to several studies.
Greater courage is demanded of them
than in any other sport I can imagine. Not to
mention that split second decision making,
a component of most sports, is absolutely
exacerbated in race riding in terms not only of
winning but also survival.
This demands greater promotion and
celebration.
They come from extraordinarily diverse
backgrounds. Take this week at Flemington
alone.
Barend Vorster, here from South Africa via
Singapore, rides a winner on Oaks day. Young
South Australian Jake Toeroek scored on Derby
day - he’d not ridden a winner,
of any sort, in Melbourne until
January this year.
Meanwhile, Daryl “Digger”
McLellan, all but won the Oaks
on Never Listen on Thursday. On
Tuesday, he was punching them
around at Muswellbrook. The bush
reserves to first grade in two days is
unimaginable in any other arena.
There, at Muswellbrook,
he was locking horns with
61-year-old hall-of-famer Robert
Thompson who still more than
holds his own on any racecourse.
And while the usual suspects - Craig
Williams, Damien Oliver, Dwayne Dunn, Hugh
Bowman and Nash Rawiller - have largely
monopolised the Cup week winners (thus far)
- Billy Egan, Toeroek and Vorster along with an
Irishman and a handful of kiwis have been on
the board.
And on Cox Plate Day, 23-year-old Jamie
Kah had the better of 47-year-old Oliver who’s
been unstoppable since, in a Group 3 race
at the Valley while Linda Meech has also, as
always, been among the winners.
Meech has ridden more winners than any
other jockey in Victoria this season. She did
likewise, and by a fair way, last season.
Oliver may be nearing 50 but is riding
“better than ever” according to rival and
commentator Corey Brown.
Glen Boss is 50 and, in recent weeks, has
ridden the winners of two races worth $14
million and $7.5 million. No pressure.
They are quite remarkable these jockeys
coping with pressure and expectation and fear
of failure. The unheralded Declan Bates I’m
sure overcame elements of all of that to win
the Group 1 Rupert Clarke on Begood Toya
Mother.
Perhaps they learn to cope from an early
age. Michelle Payne rode her first winner at 15.
She was literally a little girl. I wondered then
at the almost surreal absurdity of wizened old
punters trusting their money to her. Little did
they know she’d win the Cup.
Now the jockeys have one more thing
to cope with - the vitriol of social media as
Michael Walker, for whom I feel sorry, certainly
discovered this week.
Across the board, the only solution is to
turn off these often insidious platforms.
In Walker’s specific case, the solution may
be to ban the whip. It’s inevitable. And the
reality is that jockeys, here and around the
world, are so good they will adapt.

Jockeys - the unsung heroes of the sporting world
Jamie Kah, Barend Vorster & Jake Toeroek SPORTPIXSTEVE MORAN

BY STEVE MORAN | @ANZ_NEWS
It was, unquestionably, a wonderful result
for Australasia in the 2019 Melbourne
Cup which produced the tightest finish
in 20 years.
However, it may be premature to declare
that it signals a return to continuing local
celebrations in the years to come on the first
Tuesday in November.
Less than one length separated the first five
to finish - from the winner Vow And Declare -
the Australian bred son of Declaration Of War
(War Front) - trained by Danny O’Brien to the
Paul Preusker trained Surprise Baby, the New
Zealand bred by Shocking (Street Cry) whose
career has been moulded in Australia.
The winner’s performance and that of
Surprise Baby, arguably the very best effort in a
very slowly run race, may be seen as portents of
a local resurrection.
While I’m sure that Vow And Declare and
Surprise Bay, veterans of just 13 and 11 starts
respectively, will remain forces in Australian
racing and that there are positive pointers
from the three-year-old stock of local stallions;
the argument against any wholesale local
rejuvenation in the Cup comes from the fact
that northern hemisphere bred runners filled
the other top seven placings in a race which had
just 2.1 lengths seperate the first nine.
The northern hemisphere bred three-year-
old Il Paradisio (Galileo) was arguably unlucky
not to have won and thereby produce a third
straight win for overseas bred and trained
horses of that age.
Lloyd Williams almost struck again with an
import, Master Of Reality (Frankel) which has
become a recurring theme. Prince Of Arran
(Shirocco) ran extremely well as he continues
to imitate/emulate the grand Red Cadeaux.
Japan’s Mer De Glace (Rulership) also
