Trainer Michael Lane’s big opinion of Resortman was further vindicated when the promising gelding made a successful return to racing at Ascot on Saturday. The three-year-old, with in-form jockey Kyra Yuill aboard, claimed a ¾ length victory in the Amelia Park Handicap (1200m) and it was an impressive outing from the $2.30 favourite. Giving Yuill…
DetailsHe was bought for $10,000 and has now returned $60,080 in stake earnings. He’s had two starts in Perth and is unbeaten in both. It’s easy to understand why Condor Heroes has become a firm favourite of the Gangemi stable and his group of owners. “He’s a serious animal and boy oh boy, the people…
DetailsTrainer Dan Morton is excited by the imminent return of his multiple stakes winner Man Booker. Sidelined for eight months after surgery to his hind leg, Man Booker will run in Saturday week’s Amelia Park Group 3 Roma Cup (1200m) at Ascot. “I couldn’t be happier with him and can’t wait to see him back,”…
DetailsJeff Noske wasn’t running out of patience with Salorsci, but he might have been looking for new ideas.

DetailsTrainer Tiarnna Robertson has thrown down the gauntlet to her rivals in the Group 3 Northam Mazda Stakes (1100m) at Ascot on Saturday.

DetailsJockey Peta Edwards came away from Ascot on Saturday triumphant after combining with King Blitz in the Diggers Cup (1800m), but if she had followed her instinct that exalted feeling of victory would certainly not have arrived. By her own reckoning Edwards does not consider herself to be in the top realms of Perth jockeys,…

It’s a major blow for owner-breeders Bob and Sandra Peters and co-trainers Grant and Alana Williams after the talented three-year-old’s dominant autumn campaign in Perth.
