Stable Favourite Wins ATC Cup
Mark Newnham has a lot of horses in his stable, but Greysful Glamour lays claim to being the favourite of them all having been with him from the start. The dashing grey daughter of Stratum made every post a winner in the Listed ATC Cup (2000m), cruising along in the lead for Rachel King before extending to win by two and a half lengths eased down. “She’s been with me from the start and is a favourite with everyone,” said Mark Newnham, explaining the mare was in top order desp


Berry Pilots Trajection to Series Final
Tommy Berry put in a masterful riding display to claim four winners across the seven races including the SKY RACING SUMMER PROVINCIAL SERIES heat with Trajection. The Kim Waugh trained mare grabbed victory on the line over fellow Wyong galloper Margie Bee, from the Kristen Buchanan stable. Edward Cummings’ Tri Nations will join them in the January 2 series final at Wyong, after finishing third. Berry had to weave a passage in the straight after coming from the rear of the fie


Baker's Heart Set On Podium Finish For Filly's Debut
Trainer Bjorn Baker says a top three finish would be an ideal start to Hide Your Heart’s career as he takes a quiet confidence into her debut at Rosehill on Saturday. The filly was due to contest the $1m Golden Gift three weeks ago but Baker elected to wait and hopes that decision can pay off in the De Bortoli Wines Handicap (1100m). Hide Your Heart, a $260,000 purchase by Sebring, downed early favourite Sliders in a trial a week before the Golden Gift then re-emerged last Tu


Newnham Sees Oaks Potential In Harmony Rose
Trainer Mark Newnham will preview a potential ATC Oaks contender when Harmony Rose aims to keep her unbeaten record intact in the Drinkwise Plate (1600m) at Warwick Farm on Wednesday. The filly has been likened by the trainer to his 2019 Oaks runner-up Scarlet Dream in both the timing of her first preparation and the ability she’s showing. Harmony Rose, by Group 1 winning stayer Glass Harmonium, was successful on debut at Kembla Grange in October and backed it up with a gutsy


Newnham keen to welcome back winning import
Time has been the friend of Mark Newnham’s smart import Spirit Ridge which resumes in Saturday’s Hungerford Hill Benchmark 78 Handicap (1600m) at Newcastle. Darby Racing teamed up with De Burgh Equine in last year’s Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale to secure Spirit Ridge for 100,000 guineas and the son of Nathaniel (Ire) made a winning start to life in Australia when scoring over 1550m on the Kensington track back in May. “He jarred up a bit when he won and he just


Darby Make Presence Felt At Magic Millions
Darby Racing added to their growing portfolio at the Magic Millions Gold Coast 2YOs In Training Sale on Tuesday, purchasing three two-year-olds for a total spend of $470,000, with the trio headed by a colt by Exceed And Excel (Danehill) whom they snapped up for $250,000. The colt - who breezed in a time of 10.52 seconds - was purchased by Moorillah Pastoral for $130,000 from the Rosemont Stud draft at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale in January and Scott Darby - wh


Baker’s filly is full of Heart
TRAINER Bjorn Baker is banking on Hide Your Heart’s natural ability compensating for her lack of race experience when she debuts in the $1 million Golden Gift (1100m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. “She doesn’t have the ‘match fitness’ which counts for a lot with two-year-olds so it will be tough for her on debut,’’ Baker said. “But it’s a $1 million race and got to be in it to win it. I think she will be able to get back, relax and I expect her to be finishing off strongly
