hannah mathiesen “still in shock” after away game’s ... · by georgie dennis | @anz_news....

Twelve months ago, Hannah

Mathiesen headed to her first

Magic Millions Gold Coast

Yearling Sale working as an owner

communications manager for Ciaron Maher

and David Eustace and made a last minute

decision to buy a horse for her family.

Little did she know she would be back the

following year as a Magic Millions 2YO Classic

(RL, 1200m) winning owner.

The Maher and Eustace-trained Away Game

(Snitzel), Mathiesen’s first ever Magic Millions

yearling purchase, was bought in conjunction

with bloodstock agent Kerri Radcliffe at the

Gold Coast sale last year after the pair decided

to band together to try and pick up a horse to

get some Americans involved in.

“When I was working for Ciaron (Maher), I

had been making a list on the side for a horse

that we could get some Americans in on, my

dad included,” Mathiesen told ANZ Bloodstock

News. Continued on page 2>>

MORNING BRIEFING

Long Leaf to standat Rangeview StudKaraka Million 3YO Classic (RL, 1600m)

winner Long Leaf (Fastnet Rock), is expected

to stand at Rangeview Stud in 2020 after he was

reportedly bought by a group of WA breeders.

A winner of four of his 20 starts, Long Leaf

was a NZ$750,000 NZB Premier Yearling Sale

graduate in 2017 after being purchased by BBA

Ireland from the Curraghmore draft. He is out

of the winning mare Frustrating (Stravinsky)

making him a brother to Sacredvista, a winner

in New Zealand and Feelings, who broke her

maiden at Cranbourne on Friday. Rangeview

were dealt a blow last year when their leading

stallion Demerit (Lonhro), the sire of Gimcrack

Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) winner Agent Pippa, had

to be put down after sustaining a fractured

tibia. Morning Briefing page 6 >>

“Kerri Radcliffe had some American

clients too so we decided to try and team up with everyone and buy a well-

bred filly for the group.

“We ended up comparing lists, her (Radcliffe), me and Ciaron, and

coming up with a few fillies that we all liked, then ended up buying her

(Away Game) and it worked out.”

On picking out Away Game from the hundreds of yearlings she had

looked at during sale inspections

Mathiesen said: “She had

everything that we were looking

for really.

“She had the pedigree, she

is a full to a stakes horse and she

is by Snitzel who is a leading sire

down there.

“Physically, she had a huge

walk, was a great mover and had

a big hip and shoulder and she

just was one of the standouts for

us.”

As well as picking up

$1.6 million in prize-money,

Mathiesen and the rest of Away

Game’s connections also landed the $500,000 ladies bonus which is given

to the first four horses home in the 2YO Classic that are owned by an all-

female syndicate.

“Right away we had heard about the bonus and decided to syndicate

with just females instead,” Mathiesen said.

“We got our neighbour’s wife involved because we’ve partnered with

our neighbour before and got my mum involved, my grandma and a few

of my other relatives so we figured it’s better to do it that way and try and

go for the bonus.”

Originally from the US, Mathiesen came over to Australia to further

her knowledge of horse racing.

Her interest and love of the industry began with a volleyball injury.

Mathiesen was recruited to play volleyball at California Polytechnic

State University but ended up getting injured and decided to join the

college’s Thoroughbred Enterprise program, which is where her passion

for horses developed into a career.

When she graduated from college, Mathiesen approached SF

Bloodstock’s Tom Ryan for some advice on the best way of getting the

most experience in the industry she could.

“He (Ryan) said ‘absolutely you should go to Australia, the industry

is just thriving and I think you’ll learn the most there’ so he ended up

putting me in touch with Ciaron (Maher) and thought it would be a good

fit,” Mathiesen said.

“I’m young and Ciaron’s known for

having a young up-and-coming type team so Ciaron gave me a shot. I flew

down there a few months later.”

Picking out horses in a sale is no easy task, and bloodstock agents will

tell you it has taken them years to master it but at 22 years old, Mathiesen

has already picked out a Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner, a feat that

hundreds swarm to the Gold Coast to do each January.

It was at her second job in racing, where she worked for Kim Lloyd,

that Mathiesen credits her ability to spot a nice type of horse.

“I worked for Kim Lloyd, he ran a sales company out in California, and

I’d help do the yearling inspections to decide which yearlings made it into

the sale,” Mathiesen said.

“I think that helped me a lot because you’re looking at a wide range of

horses and then seeing what’s successful in the sale and then eventually

on the race track.

“Then I’d worked for Kerri Radcliffe and a handful of other agents so I

think all of that combined (is where I learnt to pick out horses).”

Just 48 hours after Away Game’s win at the Gold Coast, Mathiesen

was back on deck at the Keeneland January Horses Of All Ages Sale in

Kentucky on behalf of her pinhooking syndicate Oakmont Horse Club.

Oakmont Horse Club was founded by Mathiesen and fellow American

Colt Pike, who approached her at the Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale in

March last year with the idea.

“Colt Pike, who had worked at Arrowfield Stud in the past, approached

me and asked if I had any interest in buying weanlings with him at the

sales in Australia,” Mathiesen recalled.

“I’d done a bit of pinhooking in the US before but hadn’t really

considered Australia. We ended up getting a small group together and

bought five or six (weanlings) down there and it ended up going better

than we expected.

“We just continued that in the US and put

together a partnership for the November sale last

year and so far so good.

“The goal is to keep doing the pinhooking

and then put together some racing syndicates

in Australia and the US.”

So far the pair have sold a Fast Anna

(Medaglia d’Oro) colt for US$140,000 at the Fasig-Tipton July Sale,

which they purchased for US$37,000, and turned a US$80,000 Shakin It

Up (Midnight Lute) colt into a US$200,000 pinhook at the Fasig-Tipton

Gulfstream Sale the following year.

Just hours after Away Game’s win in the 2YO Classic on Saturday,

Mathiesen’s Oakmont Horse Club sold a Fastnet Rock (Danehill) colt for

$400,000 to Hawkes Racing at the Magic Millions Gold Coast yearling sale,

after purchasing him from Aquis Farm at the Magic Millions National

Weanling Sale for $300,000.

An avid fan of the Australian bloodstock market, Mathiesen said her

and Pike will continue to buy and sell down under.

“Yes, definitely (we’re going to continue to buy and race in Australia),”

she said.

“We’ve obviously had some success in Australia so we’ll keep doing

that. We’re selling a few pinhooks there this year and then we might try

and pick up a filly or two at the Easter Sale.”

Despite Away Game ticking all the early two-year-old type boxes as a yearling,

Mathiesen never thought “in a million years” that her and her family would be

Magic Millions 2YO Classic-winning owners with their very first Gold Coast

yearling purchase and she admits she is still coming to terms with it.

“I don’t think (the win has sunk in yet), no,” Mathiesen added.

“I’m still a bit in shock from the whole thing. The whole day was just crazy.

“Then flying back right away with no chance for it to really hit me, but

hopefully this week I’ll be able to go through all the replays and articles. It

was pretty crazy.

“My mum and dad and grandparents were there (at the Gold Coast),

my sister had to stay home, but it was special to have them all out there. It

made it a really good day for us.”

AUSTRALIA

Dame Giselle could miss Millennium date

Co-trainer Paul Snowden has warned that Inglis

Millenium (RL, 1200m) favourite Dame Giselle

(I Am Invincible), one of a trio of Inglis Easter

graduates who dominate early betting for the $2

million race, is not certain to take her chance in next

month’s two-year-old feature and is likely to head

towards the Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m)

instead. The filly was yesterday installed as the $6

market leader by TAB bookmakers but would-be

backers have been advised to hold their bets. “I

wouldn’t rule it out completely but it’s not on our

radar,’’ Snowden told Racing NSW. “You won’t see

her step out in a trial for maybe three weeks but she’s

been in the stable and she could trial tomorrow (if

we wanted).’’ Stablemate of Dame Giselle and Inglis

Nursery (RL, 1000m) winner Wild Ruler (Snitzel),

sits on the second line of the betting for the Inglis

Race Day contest on February 8, along with the

Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Cellsabeel

(Hinchinbrook).

Tendon injury sidelines SamadoubtBjorn Baker has revealed that Group 1 winner

Samadoubt (Not A Single Doubt) is set for a

lengthy spell after suffering a tendon injury.

The six-year-old, who beat Happy Clapper

(Teofilo) to win the Winx Stakes (Registered

as Warwick Stakes) (Gr 1, 1400m) at Randwick

last year, had been scheduled to run in a

barrier trial yesterday ahead of an autumn

campaign. "It's unfortunate that Group 1

winning Samadoubt has picked up an injury.

He has been fit, strong & ultra consistent for five

seasons and unfortunately like any elite athlete,

sometimes injuries happen. He'll head out for

an extended break & return when 100%," Baker

said on Twitter. "The injury Samadoubt has

suffered is a strained tendon. He will be treated

intensively over the next few weeks followed by

a long period of rest and rehabilitation. Tendon

injuries are rare in our stable and it's dispiriting

to have happened to such a wonderful horse."

Dalasan to kick-off at CaulfieldAutumn options remain open for star Adelaide

colt Dalasan (Dalakhani) with races in

Melbourne and Sydney under consideration.

Following a gallop with the Chris Bieg-trained

Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) placegetter

Free Of Debt (Unencumbered) at Morphettville

yesterday, co-trainer Leon Macdonald said

the only firm plan was to race at Caulfield

on February 1. "I think he would be suited

by Sydney because he has a habit of laying

in so racing in the opposite direction could

help that," Macdonald said. "The Randwick

Guineas is a week after the Australian Guineas

in Melbourne so he can't do both. But the

Randwick race might be a bit easier than the

Australian Guineas with Alligator Blood and

Super Seth going there. We will work it out

after his first start." Macdonald and his training

partner Andrew Gluyas are pleased with

Dalasan's progress and he will have another

jump-out next week.

Hanseatic tops Freedman juvenile contingentAnthony Freedman believes his best chance of

claiming back-to-back wins in next month's Blue

Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) looks like coming

in the shape of the Godolphin-owned Hanseatic

(Street Boss). The colt sits on the third line of the

betting for next month’s Caulfield Group 1 having

run out an easy winner on debut in the Merson

Cooper Stakes (Listed, 1000m) at Sandown in

November. Freedman, who won the Blue Diamond

with Lyre (Lonhro) last year said: "At this stage it's

probably still Hanseatic. He was impressive when he

won and he's had a good spell since then. He's back

in work and he's nearly ready to run so at this stage

he's the most likely. He'll be nominated for Saturday

week (Blue Diamond Preview), whether we run

or not I'll make that call closer to the race,” he told

Racing.com. "If he doesn't run there he'll definitely

run in the second one (Prelude) and then onto the

Blue Diamond."

Muntaseera on target for DiamondThe Blue Diamond Stakes remains the target for

the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained

Muntaseera (I Am Invincible) after the filly

flashed home to finish second in a 900 metre

barrier trial yesterday at Rosehill. "I've spoken

to the boss and he was very happy with her,"

Eustace said. "He said she had a decent blow.

She's right on track. Her target is the Diamond

and she may well have a run in Sydney and then

come down for the race. That's the most likely

scenario at the moment. We should have a few

runners - Rathlin will go there, so will Tanker

and Ideas Man at this stage."

Tanker impressive ahead of Diamond assaultAdding to Maher and Eustace’s Blue Diamond

assault will be the impressive Debutant Stakes

(Listed, 1000m) winner Tanker (Pride Of

Dubai) who trialled impressively at Sandown

yesterday. “He was really, really good this

morning,” Eustace told Racing.com. “We’ve

just been working without blinkers up until this

point. Blinkers go on and he’s really pinging

the lids and was good and straight and strong

and through the line. Mark (Zahra) was really

impressed by the feel he’s got. He’s right on

track. His condition is great and the plan is to go

one run into the Diamond. He’ll run in the 1100

metre race (Blue Diamond Prelude) two weeks

before and then into the Diamond.”

Currie: Game has Slipper credentialsLuke Currie believes Away Game (Snitzel) is

capable of following up her Magic Millions

2YO Classic (RL, 1200m) win in the Golden

Slipper Stakes. "The way she put them away

was brilliant and I always felt like I was going

to win in the run," Currie told Racing.com.

"Only decent horses can show that run of foot,

especially against the better ones, so there's no

reason why she couldn't run well in a Diamond

or a Slipper. It makes sense to stay up there and

head towards the Slipper. She's improved off

both her first-up run and and her second-up

run so there's no reason why she couldn't do

it again and she doesn't need to be improving

much to be a winning hope in a Golden Slipper."

Kensington option for RoyalLast start Christmas Stakes (Listed, 1200m)

winner All Too Royal (All Too Hard) is likely to

take his chance in Saturday’s Kensington Stakes

(Listed, 1000m) with a small field expected for

the Flemington feature. The five-year-old is

one of seven nominations for the straight-track

sprint and co-trainer David Eustace admits he

and training partner Ciaron Maher are favouring

running. "I think he will go there," Eustace said

yesterday. "He worked well this morning. There

doesn't appear to be many suitable options

around which makes it tricky. He's going very

well, that was a career-best performance for him

first-up, and we couldn't be happier with him."

Pride still to make Napster callJoe Pride will leave it late before deciding

whether Napster (Proisir) joins his team at

Rosehill on Saturday or takes up an alternative

engagement the day before. "Napster is also in

at Canterbury on Friday night over 1250 metres

so I will just see how the fields stack up," Pride

said. "I hope we get rain and I hope the places

that need it most get it. I don't think any of us

will mind racing on a wet track and I think

my horses will handle it although we haven't

seen it for so long." Stablemate Royal Witness

(Star Witness) is on target to take his chance in

Saturday’s Benchmark 88 sprint. "This will be

his first go over 1100 metres since I've had him,"

Pride added. "I've kept him to short-course

races so he is going up in grade and distance

which he has to do if he is to proceed through

the grades. It looks like being a hot field so we

will see if he is up to it."

Two for Bull PointA smart debut victory for the Rod Northam-

trained Very Sharp (2 f ex Shamtastic by

Shamardal) at Scone yesterday provided

Kingstar Farm’s sire Bull Point (Fastnet Rock)

with his second winner. Sent off favourite in an

all-aged maiden, Very Sharp took the 900 metre

sprint by a short half head. She is the fourth

winner from four foals to race from winning

mare Shamtastic (Shamardal). A $12,000 Inglis

Scone purchase from the Hillside Farm draft

for R and R Racing, Very Sharp is eligible for

the Inglis Scone Challenge (1100m), a race

Northam has won five times.

Kolding sixth in Rosehill trialKolding (Ocean Park) remains in the mix

for the All-Star Mile (1600m) at Caulfield

on March 14 following a trial at Rosehill

yesterday. The Epsom Handicap (Gr 1,

1600m) and Golden Eagle (1500m) winner

finished sixth behind three-year-old colt

Standout (Exceed And Excel) in the 900 metre

heat having been given an easy time by James

McDonald. The four-year-old is one of eight

possible starters for Chris Waller in the All-

Star Mile with the likes of Funstar (Adelaide),

Kubrick (Shooting To Win) and Mister Sea

Wolf (Amadeus Wolf ) all nominated for the

$5 million race.

Caulfield meeting in doubtOfficials are waiting until 7am this morning

before deciding whether today’s midweek

city twilight meeting at Caulfield and another

fixture at Yarra Valley will go ahead. Caulfield

is scheduled to host an eight-race twilight

meeting with the first race at 3.40pm, while the

eight-race Yarra Valley card has a 1pm start.

Yesterday’s meeting at Werribee was called

off because of smoke haze and hazardous air

quality resulting from the bushfires in NSW and

Victoria.

Stud and Stable Staff Awards Australia voting beginsNominations are now open for the Stud and

Stable Staff Awards (SSSA), which offers

NEW ZEALAND

Catalyst first, Shark second in Matamata trial

New Zealand 2000 Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m)

winner Catalyst (Darci Brahma) impressed

when taking out a barrier trial at Matamata

yesterday, getting the better of Cox Plate (Gr

1, 2040m) placegetter Te Akau Shark (Rip Van

Winkle) by two lengths. "I am very happy,"

trainer Clayton Chipperfield said. "We took

the hood off and he put himself right there

and to finish off the way he did with his ears

pricked was very encouraging." The Jamie

Richards-trained Te Akau Shark will begin his

preparation in next month’s BCD Sprint (Gr 1,

1400m) before heading to Sydney, where he is

expected to contest the Queen Elizabeth Stakes

(Gr 1, 2000m) in April. "He lobbed three back

the fence and came up in behind them with

no pressure," Richards said. "It wasn't about

chasing Catalyst or having a race today, it was

just about building fitness and doing the right

thing by the horse. We are pleased with how he

is coming to hand."

Per Incanto steps up for Little AvondaleWith their stallion Per Incanto (Street Cry)

flying high at present, Little Avondale Stud

are eyeing the possibility of a bumper week

at the upcoming National Yearling Sales at

Karaka.

Per Incanto has sired a total of 182 winners from

297 runners, with 14 individual stakes winners

including Shadows Cast, Santa Monica and

Dal Cielo at elite level. “He has eight individual

stakes performers already this season. He

had the Group 1 winners Santa Monica and

Shadows Cast last year, and he’s just kicked on

from there,” Little Avondale’s Sam Williams

said. Per Incanto has 14 yearlings in the

catalogue for Book 1 of the NZB Karaka Yearling

Sale, and Little Avondale will themselves offer

10 of those. “This year is easily Little Avondale’s

biggest draft, and it’s the best line-up of Per

Incanto yearlings we’ve ever taken to Karaka,”

Williams added.

Proud record to uphold at Highden ParkLibby and Sam Bleakley’s Highden Park are

hoping to add to their impressive roll of honour

with their draft of yearlings at Karaka. Their

sale graduates include two-time Hong Kong

Horse of the Year Beauty Generation (Road

To Rock) and Hong Kong Derby (Listed,

2000m) winner Ping Hai Star (Nom De Jeu)

as well as a host of other stakes performers.

“For a farm that’s still pretty young, we’ve had

some great results,” Libby Bleakley said. “We

keep adding to our stream of stakes horses

as well, which is fantastic.” While Highden

Park will present two yearlings in Book 1,

Bleakley was keen to emphasise the quality

of their seven-strong draft in Book 2. “If you

look at what’s happened on the Gold Coast

this week, an Iffraaj topped the Book 2 sale,”

she said. “There are some horses that could

qualify for Book 1, but are better being held

back for Book 2.”

Boys Get Paid to add to Karaka atmosphereThere could be plenty of noise around the

Karaka sale ring on January 28 when the Boys

Get Paid Syndicate’s first foray into selling

thoroughbreds reaches its zenith as colt they

own in partnership with Little Avondale goes

under the hammer. LA’s Sam Williams is

delighted with the progress of the Savabeel

(Zabeel) colt, who is out of the mare Drappier

(Pins) and catalogued as Lot 557. “He’s been

one of the big improvers in our Book 1 draft.

He’s got a great pedigree and pleasingly he’s

developed into a really attractive colt, light

on his feet with many of the attributes of the

good Savabeels,” he said. “I bought into his

mother Drappier because I loved the family,

it’s one of Waikato’s (Studs) best.” The colt’s

second dam Gio has left three stakes winners

and her full-sister Escada is the dam of the

dual Group 1 winners Vision And Power and

Glamour Puss.

Stunning out for redemption in Centenary CupFrankie Lor is confident Mr Stunning (Exceed

And Excel) can exact revenge on Beat The

Clock (Hinchinbrook) when the pair clash in

the Centenary Sprint Cup (Gr 1, 1200m) at Sha

Tin on Sunday. The seven-year-old was denied

a hat-trick of wins in last month’s Hong Kong

Sprint (Gr 1, 1200m) when Beat The Clock sped

to victory and Mr Stunning is out to avenge not

only that defeat but also last year’s Centenary

Sprint Cup when his John Size-trained rival was

a neck too good. “We’ll see him close to his best

in this race – I think he can win,” Lor said. Mr

Stunning’s three-quarter-length defeat when

fourth in the Hong Kong Sprint held plenty of

merit, being only his second run back off an

injury lay-off. “I’ve taken things step-by-step

with him and he improved for each of his two

runs. He had those two runs and after that he

has improved so I’m happy with his form,” Lor

added.

Young guns to square off in Happy Valley finaleEmerging talents Highly Proactive (Coats

Choice) and Snap Fit (Nadeem) are set to

lock horns in the Class 3 Chater Handicap

(1200m) which closes Happy Valley’s nine-

race card tonight. Snap Fit won his first three

starts while Highly Proactive got off the mark

last start at his third attempt, impressing

jockey Karis Teetan. “It was a very tough

win from the outside gate,” Teetan said. “I

think he worked all the way around until the

650-metre mark, then once he caught his

breath he kicked on nicely in the straight and

won a tough race. Not many horses would

have done that, so I’m very pleased with that

win.” Highly Proactive’s task won’t be easy

though, with the Caspar Fownes-trained Snap

Fit out to thwart him under Joao Moreira.

“He’s a very nice horse, Caspar seems to be

very confident in his ability and his potential

as an individual”, Moreira said.

INTERNATIONAL

Asmara gone

Asmara (Lear Fan), whose daughter Azmiyna

(Galileo) produced five-time Group 1 winner

The Autumn Sun (Redoute's Choice), has died

peacefully at the age of 27. Bred by the Aga Khan

by sending his Listed-winning mare Anaza

(Darshaan) to Lear Fan (Roberto), Asmara

upheld her brilliant breeding in her racing

career with John Oxx, taking out the Trigo

Stakes (Listed, 1m 2f). The mare also passed on

her talent once retired, producing eight winners

from 11 live foals. Her most notable offspring

was Azamour (Night Shift) who won four times

at Group 1 level including the Irish Champion

Stakes (Gr 1, 1m2f). Asmara produced her last

foal in 2011, an unraced filly by Sea The Stars

(Cape Cross) named Azama, before being

retired from breeding.

First foal for Roaring LionThe first foal from the only crop of ill-fated

European champion Roaring Lion (Kitten’s Joy)

was born on Saturday evening. A colt out of the

mare Counterweight (Azamour) arrived at

Jeffrey and Pheobe Hobby's Brightwalton Stud

in Berkshire. Stud manager Sean Keane said:

“He's a well-made, attractive colt with plenty

of athleticism. He's full of energy and is a joy

to be around. The Hobbys are delighted with

Respected industry figure Jen

Campin hopes to secure a suitable

stallion home for her Group 1

winner Wyndspelle (Iffraaj) who

seeks a second elite-level win in Saturday’s

Thorndon Mile (Gr 1, 1600m) at Trentham.

The catch may be that he is a six-year-old

and the perception, at least in Australia which

Campin sees as his most desirable location,

that he may not be considered “sexy” enough.

It’s not for me to say whether he would be a

desirable stallion prospect or not, but the quest

perhaps raises the perennial question as to

what horses do indeed fit that bill?

Would you be better to stand a Group 1

winner at 1600 metres, who was Group 1 placed

at two and a Guineas winner at three, and who’s

proven his durability and soundness - or a short

course two or three-year-old winner whose

“sexiness” might be defined by the pitch that -

as an investor - you’ll be “out of him” before his

offspring hit the track?

I’ll leave the answer to the stud masters (and

accountants) but these early running sprinters,

untried beyond 1200 metres and three years,

do not fit the profile of any champion stallion

in living memory in Australia - and there’s a

plethora of them at stud.

Pitching an older horse will always be a

tougher sell and the longer term commercial

viability will be determined by the deeds of his

offspring.

However, Campin and fellow owners John

Frew, Shirley Hanna and Neil Randles, could

readily cite the remarkable I Am Invincible

(Invincible Spirit), who raced until a five-year-

old (albeit injury interrupted) and failed to

win at Group 1 level, yet has proven a stallion

sensation at Yarraman Park with a stunning 28

stakes winners last season.

Son of Iffraaj outto earn a spot at stud

Wyndspelle SPORTPIX

| 11 |

“There’s been a level of interest in the

horse,” says Australian-born but New Zealand-

based bloodstock consultant Campin, “a few

people waiting in the wings perhaps to see him

repeat his performance in the Captain Cook

(Stakes).”

Wyndspelle scored decisively in the

Group 1 Captain Cook Stakes at Trentham on

December 7, from Shadows Cast (Per Incanto)

who edged out the son of Iffraaj in last year’s

Thorndon Mile and is likely to re-oppose again

this weekend. That victory came three weeks

before the death of his dam Western Star (High

Chaparral) who succumbed to laminitis.

That was the entire’s breakthrough major

success after six previous Group 1 placings,

including three behind champion mare Melody

Belle (Commands) and one in Australia in the

Cantala Stakes at Flemington.

“It is for others to judge, of course, but I

believe he has the required racetrack record

from being Group 1-placed in the Sistema

(Diamond Stakes) at two to winning the

Waikato Guineas (Gr 2) at three and training on

to be a highly-consistent performer at weight-

for-age level.

“I’ve never had a horse run so many Group

1 placings and then keep bumping into one as

good as Melody Belle. He has a huge heart and

always does his best. He races the way he wants

to race, hunting him up early just doesn’t work

but he can certainly produce a withering finish.

He lowers his whole body and takes off like an

aeroplane,” Campin said.

Wyndspelle has blossomed in the latter part

of his career under the training of Johno Benner

and Hollie Wynyard and responded positively

to being reunited with jockey Jason Waddell in

the Captain Cook Stakes.

Waddell, who was on board Shadows Cast

in last year’s Thorndon Mile, is now “super-

glued” to Wyndspelle according to Campin.

Waddell has won three times on the horse

including the Waikato Guineas. “Jason adores

the horse and his style suits him perfectly,” she

said.

An international campaign, to either the

Dubai Turf in March or the Champions Mile in

Hong Kong in April, has been considered for

Wyndspelle but in the best of racing traditions,

Campin said it would be a case “of one race at a

time” after Saturday’s Thorndon Mile.

“He certainly has the temperament for it

but there are other options at home,” said the

prolific and successful seller to Hong Kong.

Wyndspelle became the 10th Group 1

winner for his sire Iffraaj (Zafonic) and the

fourth to have been bred in New Zealand when

he won at Trentham - following Gingernuts, Jon

Snow and Turn Me Loose.

Iffraaj spent the most recent southern

hemisphere breeding season under the Darley

banner at Haunui Farm in New Zealand and

will stand the northern hemisphere season at

Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket.

Darley also has his sons Ribchester and

Jungle Cat, whose wins included the Group

1 Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield, standing

at Kildangan Stud in Ireland; while in New

Zealand, Windsor Park is standing Turn Me

Loose; Clearview Park has Jon Snow and

Cambridge has grand-son Almanzor (Wotton

Bassett) but I’m unaware of any son of Iffraaj

standing in Australia.

Wyndspelle was a $75,000 Campin

purchase from the Hallmark Stud draft at the

2015 Karaka National Yearling Sale.

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

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

A surprisingly slow run Melbourne

Cup (Gr 1, 3200m) on Tuesday

turned Australia’s favourite race

into a sprint home that resulted in

the first five horses crossing the line less than

a length apart in a time that was 8.46 seconds

outside of Kingston Rule’s (Secretariat) track

record.

Even allowing for the fact that the race was

run on a soft 5 track, the time was excessively

slow with the leaders clocking a pedestrian

1:44.80 (13.10) for the first 1600 metres.

The final 1600 metres was naturally quicker

but not dramatically so with that distance

covered in 1:40.23 (12.52 200m rate).

The only serious tempo came into the

$7,750,000 race from the 1000 metres with that

final section clocking 59.86 – then 47.13 (last

800m), 35.08 (last 600m) and 23.60 for the final

400 metres.

And in a bumping, keenly contested

finish the Australian-bred Vow And Declare

(Declaration Of War) got the nod by a head

with Prince Of Arran (Shirocco) placed second

and Il Paradiso (Galileo) placed third after the

relegation of Master Of Reality (Frankel) to

fourth.

Next was the appropriately named Surprise

Baby (Shocking), the other local hope who

returned some of the fastest closing sectionals

of the race in coming from 20th to finish (0.9

lengths) fifth.

Surprise Baby ran his last 1000 metres in

57.86, last 800 metres in 45.68, last 600 metres

in 33.79, last 400 metres in 22.77 with his final

200 metres in 11.36.

The winner Vow And Declare, who worked

in the early stages from his wide barrier and

then obtained a perfect trip in third spot under

an inspired Craig Williams-ride, dug deep to

score clocking 59.85 (last 1000m), 46.95 (last

to the front at the home turn and then dashed

clear to defeat her main rival by two and a

quarter lengths in the time of 1:09.89.

California Zimbol’s early sectionals were

very good. Clocked from the 1000 metres, her

200 metre breakdown was: 11.02, 11.25 (400m

in 22.27), 11.83 (600m in 34.10), 11.00 (800m

in 45.10) and 11.25 to give her a fast final 1000

metre time of 56.35.

It was California Zimbol’s fifth race start,

her third win and her first at stakes level. Her

experienced co-trainer Peter Snowden saying

post-race that connections would now target other

fillies’ features over the Melbourne Spring Carnival,

adding that he had always held her in high regard.

Another winner to impress on the watch

at Caulfield was the Godolphin-raced sprinter

Trekking (Street Cry) who gained an eleventh

hour berth into Saturday’s $14 million The

Everest (1200m) by taking out the Schillachi

Stakes (Gr 2, 1100m).

After racing back in seventh place on the

rails, Trekking saved ground closer to the rails

at the home turn, hit the front at the 100 metres

and then battled strongly to defeat the speedy

Ball Of Muscle (Dubawi) by a long neck.

Time for the 1100 metres was a fast 1:02.32

(11.33 200m rate), equivalent to 1200 metres in

1:07.98.

And Trekking’s sectionals were very smart,

his 200 metre breakdown (from the 1000m)

was: 10.71, 10.50 (400m in 21.21), 10.91 (600m

in 32.12) 10.68 (800m in 42.80) and 11.20 for a

fast final 1000 metres of 54.00.

The winner of the Stradbroke Handicap

(Gr 1, 1400m) in June, Trekking is now in

tomorrow’s Everest with a better chance than

his odds might indicate in a very strong field.

In the Ladbrokes Stakes (registered as

Caulfield Stakes) (Gr 1, 2000m) the Irish-bred

import Cape Of Good Hope (Galileo) scored a

narrow but very good win in this Group 1 race at

his Australian debut.

After settling in seventh place, one off the

rails, he got into clear running nearing the 200

metres and then came with a strong late bid to

defeat Black Heart Bart (Blackfriars) by a short

half head in a time of 2:02.51.

The early tempo was not strong with the

first 1400 metres clocking 1:28.17 (12.59 200m

rate) with the final 600 metres in a quick 34.34

(11.44 200m rate).

That resulted in Cape Of Good Hope

returning fast closing sectionals of 33.74 for his

last 600 metres, 22.19 (last 400m) with his final


That was a very smart effort especially

considering it was Cape Of Good Hope’s first

start since racing at Saratoga in August.

It should also be pointed out that the lack

of a solid early tempo proved costly for the

favourite Avilius (Pivotal) who faced the task

of making ground from ninth in the sprint

home.

His late-closing (1.7 lengths) fourth was

therefore full of merit with Avilius clocking fast

fractions of 33.68 (last 600m), 22.19 (last 400m)

and 11.28 for his final 200 metres.

The Anthony Freedman-trained

colt Super Seth (Dundeel) really

showed his talent with impressive

closing sectional times in his

exciting burst to grab victory on the post in

Saturday’s Caulfield Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m).

After settling back in eighth place, tracking

a solid tempo, Super Seth arrived in time to

defeat Alligator Blood (All Too Hard), who had

seemingly held a winning break of five lengths

in the straight, by a nose in a time of 1:36.44.

Super Seth returned the fastest closing

sectionals of the race with his last 1200 metres

in 1:10.73, last 1000 metres in 58.55, last 800

metres in 46.32, last 600 metres in 34.23, and

last 400 metres in 22.56.

But the feature of those times was the 200

metres splits for the last 600 metres: 11.66, 11.25

and 11.31, fractions that quickened off a solid

mid-race tempo.

The runner-up, the David Vandyke-

trained Alligator Blood also deserves

acknowledgement.

He tracked the free-running leader

Roccabascerana (Fighting Sun), went to

the front on turning for home, held a clear

advantage at the 200 metres and was only

caught in the last few strides.

Alligator Blood’s early sectionals were

good, in particular his 1000 metre section of

59.56, from the 1400 metres to the 400 metres.

That mid-race pace was telling for the

favourite Dalasan (Dakakhani) who went

forward from his outside barrier (16) and

settled back in third place, without cover,

behind a solid tempo, so his effort in holding on

for (3.7 lengths) fifth was certainly sound under

the circumstances.

However, there was no such tempo in the

Thousand Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m), with the

fillies’ classic turning into a sprint home with

Flit (Medaglia d’Oro) claiming a nose victory

from Missile Mantra (Smart Missile) with

Southbank (Fastnet Rock) a short half head

away third.

Time for the 1600 metres was 1m 37.19,

which was almost three seconds outside of the

track record, after the first 1000 metres clocked a

moderate 1:02.26 (12.45 200m rate) with the last

600 metres in a quick 34.93 (11.64 200m rate).

Subsequently, Flit’s rider Hugh Bowman

said the slow pace almost cost his mount

victory, the filly taking a while to accelerate

when a split finally presented in the latter

stages.

The lack of early pace also told significantly

against the runner-up Missile Mantra whose

racing style again saw the Peter and Paul

Snowden-trained filly settle near last before

flashing home in the dying stages for second.

Missile Mantra returned the fastest closing

sectionals of the race with her last 1000 metres

in 58.88, last 800 metres in 46.24, last 600 metres

in 33.98, last 400 metres in 22.40 with her final

in a keenly contested finish where only a length

separated the first seven at the post.

The winner was the British-bred Chief

Ironside (Lawman) who scored by a short head

from Cliff’s Edge (Canford Cliffs) with Best Of

Days (Azamour) a short head away third in a

time of 1:35.46 (first 1000 metres in 59.41 and

final 600 metres in 36.05).

The runners responsible for the solid tempo

were Dreamforce (Fastnet Rock) who led and

Cliff’s Edge, who raced at his girth, and both did

well considering their early efforts, especially

Cliff’s Edge who fought bravely for second

while Dreamforce was far from disgraced in

finishing (0.7 lengths) fifth.

One to catch the eye in the race was Debt

Agent (Thorn Park), a multiple Group 1 winner

in Singapore who was having his second start

in Australia and he made good late ground for

seventh, beaten only a length.

Debt Agent returned the quickest closing

sectional of the race with his last 1400 metres

in 1:21.64, last 1200 metres in 1:09.90, last 1000

metres in 58.33, last 800 metres in 47.09, last

600 metres in 35.16 and last 400 metres in 24.21.

At Moonee Valley’s Friday night meeting,

the quality filly Loving Gaby (I Am Invincible)

staged a dashing display in taking out the

Manikato Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m).

Having her third run back, she showed

surprisingly good early pace from barrier two

and after almost leading in the early stages,

she settled in third place on the rails, tracking

a solid tempo.

Craig Williams eased her across heels on

turning for home, she then grabbed the lead

on passing the 100m before going on to score

in good style by three-quarters lengths from the

West Australian Vital Silver (Wanted) in a time

of 1:09.29.

Loving Gaby’s early sectionals were

impressive (from the 1000m): 21.21 (first

200m), 32.61 (first 600m), 45.11 (first 800m) and

56.73 for the final 1000 metres.

However, the last word this week goes to

the Jean Dubois-trained filly See You Soon

(Siyouni) who impressed in winning the

Kirkham Plate, for two-year-olds (1000m) at

Randwick on Saturday.

After a slow beginning, See You Soon was last

early on in the six-horse field before dashing home

to score by a short neck from the promising Peter

and Paul Snowden-trained filly Dame Giselle (I

Am Invincible) in the smart time of 57.77.

In a race that developed into a sprint home,

See You Soon showed a sparkling turn of speed,

clocking 32.89 (last 600m) and 21.62 for her

final 400 metres.

And even taking into account the

amount of fast times at Randwick recently,

closing sectionals of that standard are quite

outstanding, especially by a two-year-old filly

who was having her first race start.

The Japanese mare Lys Gracieux

(Heart’s Cry) stamped her class

in no uncertain manner with a

decisive victory in a solidly run

Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) at Moonee Valley on

Saturday – a performance she endorsed on the

clock.

Having her first start in Australia, Lys

Gracieux settled nicely back in 11th place from

her wide barrier before Damian Lane brought

her into the race with a strong, wide move from

the 600 metres.

Momentarily, the three-year-old colt

Castelvecchio (Dundeel) seemed to have

stolen a winning break, but Lys Gracieux went

to another level when asked by Lane halfway

down the straight, and she immediately put

the race beyond question with a quick final 200

metres in 11.22.

She then went on to win by a length and a

half from Castelvecchio, who ran the race of his

life in taking second with the well-performed

New Zealander Te Akau Shark (Rip Van Winkle)

two lengths away third.

Time for the race was a really smart 2:04.21

(12.17 200m rate), equivalent to 2000 metres

in 2:01.57, and 1.27 seconds outside of Winx’s

outstanding track record of 2:02.94 (12.05 200m

rate) established in 2017.

The genuine tempo was set by the Aidan

O’Brien-trained mare Magic Wand (Galileo)

who led the field under Ryan Moore before

fighting back well for (3.9 lengths) fourth.

Magic Wand’s solid early sections were: 23.46

(first 400m), 35.10 (first 600m), 47.05 (first 800m),

59.43 (first 1000m), 1:11.56 (first 1200m), 1:23.67

(first 1400m) and 1:35.47 for the first 1600 metres

(from the 2000m to the 400m).

Lys Graceieu’s final sectionals were

therefore very good - especially noteworthy was

her final 2000 metre time of 1:59.51 (first 1000

metres in 60.77 and last 1000 metres in 58.74).

The other feature of Lys Graceieu’s

performance was her aforementioned final 200

metres in 11.22, which is very smart considering

she produced that burst when needed, despite

having raced at a solid tempo throughout.

The runner-up, the three-year-old

Castelvecchio also did well on the watch,

clocking 59.53 for his final 1000 metres, so too

the third-placed Te Akau Shark who clocked

58.80, the second quickest last 1000 metres of

the race.

While the Turnbull Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m)

winner Kings Will Dream (Casamento) staged

a nice effort as he settled near the tail of the

field from a wide barrier, went deep rounding

the home turn and then battled on quite well

for (6.6 lengths) sixth, clocking 59.50 for his

final 1000 metres.
