ON THE WATCH

Arrowfield Stud has made the

stunning decision to withdraw

its entire draft from the Inglis

Australian Easter Yearling Sale

and instead will sell their stellar crop of horses

by private treaty in response to the auction

being forced to go solely online.

The dramatic turn of events yesterday,

just 24 hours after Inglis told vendors it would

conduct the flagship sale digitally, prompted

management to broker a compromise with

fellow sellers by tentatively scheduling a

back-up live Easter Round 2 auction on July 5,

pending a current government ban being lifted.

The initial 514-lot, two-day catalogue had

already been brought forward to April 5 and

6 but the selling of the Easter yearlings via the

Inglis Digital platform will now proceed over

four days and finish on April 8. Bidding will

start at 10am on April 5 and each lot will sell

sequentially in lot order from 10am on April 7

and 8. Continued on page 2>>

Arrowfield Stud pulls out of digital Australian Easter Yearling SaleInglis adds Round 2 live auction in July to help vendors sell horses during coronavirus crisis

INDUSTRY NEWS

Queensland wintercarnival scrappedThe Queensland winter racing carnival has

been scrapped as the state moves to racing in

five separate regions.

The winter carnivals in all three codes,

thoroughbreds, harness and greyhounds,

have been abandoned for the first time in a

century and they will be replaced by standard

metropolitan race programming with selected

feature races.

"Given the circumstances, it is the right decision

to abandon our carnivals," Racing Queensland

chief executive Brendan Parnell said.

showcase our codes and to attract patrons,

The company had been working

for weeks to ensure its premium Easter sale went ahead in the face of

a worsening coronavirus outbreak which resulted in federal and state

government-imposed restrictions on people movement and businesses.

Up until this week, Inglis was planning to have a live sale in front

of a select invite-only buying bench but that idea was quashed after

prime minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday banned auction houses from

operation in a bid to slow the rate of coronavirus infection.

The state of NSW and its capital Sydney, where Inglis was to hold the

sale, currently has the most cases of Covid-19 in Australia.

Arrowfield Stud’s withdrawal, and that of interstate vendors Gilgai

Farm and Element Hill also pulling out, came as another blow to the

prospects of the sale during a significant economic downturn as the

potential for the country to go into full lockdown if the coronavirus

continues to spiral out of control.

Other Easter sale vendors yesterday remained committed to the April

online auction, including large-scale rivals Coolmore and Widden Stud,

but Arrowfield Stud principal John Messara “felt we had no other option

but to conduct the sale of our horses by private treaty” once it could not be

held at Riverside Stables.

“It was a terribly hard decision to make but we didn’t bargain for having

these horses in an online sale,” Messara told ANZ Bloodstock News yesterday.

“I know there was no other option and Inglis tried really hard to find

a way through … and when they

went online it was an agonising

decision that we just had to make

for our own protection.”

On market values achieved

earlier this year, particularly

at January’s Magic Millions

Gold Coast Yearling Sale, it

would be reasonably assumed

that Arrowfield Stud’s draft of

60 yearlings would be worth

between $20 to $25 million.

Among Arrowfield Stud’s

draft was the Redoute’s Choice

(Danehill) half-brother to this season’s three-time stakes-placed juvenile

Stellar Pauline (Not A Single Doubt), a Shalaa (Invincible Spirit) son of

champion mare Miss Finland (Redoute’s Choice) and a host of colts and

fillies by champion sire Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice).

Messara was confident Arrowfield would be able to on-sell the

majority of their large draft of yearlings despite not having the assistance

of Inglis, in particular its buyer credit facility.

“I think we will have a group of them sold at sensible prices,

recognising the fact that the market will have to adjust downwards for

what’s happened in the world and the stock markets, etc, but there are

some prized animals there,” Messara said.

“Racing will revert back to normal in a few months’ time hopefully

and next year’s Golden Slipper and all the races next year (will still be on).

In the short-term, things will be a bit hard, but in the long-term I am sure

we will get back to square one again.”

Messara did not rule out offering some yearlings through the Easter 2 sale

if it proceeded in July and hoped that Arrowfield’s long-standing relationship

with Inglis would not be damaged by what transpired yesterday.

“We have been supportive of Inglis for 30 or 40 years now - a long time

- and we’ve been the leading vendor there for at least the last five years,”

he said.

“We are cognisant of the good job they do and it pains us to have done

what we have had to do, but we felt it was the right thing to do for this

enterprise.

“We have 110 staff here to feed and we

needed to ensure we could do so.”

An email was circulated to Easter vendors yesterday outlining the

plan to schedule an Easter Round 1 and Easter Round 2 sale before the

company later released a statement confirming the plan.

Vendors have the option to participate in the online sale or hold off

for the potential of selling at a live auction, or offering yearlings in both.

“To assist vendors and buyers during this difficult time we have

decided to conduct the 2020 Easter Yearling Sale in two rounds,” Inglis

said.

“We feel two rounds (or offerings) is most important as some vendors

who are not located in the Hunter Valley have not had as many inspections

as others.

“We also recognise that many buyers have not been able to undertake

inspections. Two rounds provides everyone with greater flexibility, with

our goal being to provide a vital service to our industry – to keep trade in

place between breeders and buyers.

“It is really important that the industry remains united, that vendors

hold firm and support the tradition of the Easter Sale and put the good of

the industry first and foremost.”

A number of interstate or not centrally located vendors have or will

move their horses to other stud farms to make it easier for buyers to

undertake inspections but three vendors have chosen to withdraw their

lots.

Seven New Zealand vendors have also been affected by a travel ban

into Australia.

Element Hill had a draft of four that included an I Am Invincible

(Invincible Spirit) half-sister to Group 1-winning stallion The Mission

(Choisir) and a Choisir (Danehill Dancer) half-sister to Group 2 winner

and Group 1-placed entire Zousain (Zoustar) but have withdrawn the

quartet.

Gilgai Farm owner Rick Jamieson has also taken out his trio of Easter

yearlings which included a Divine Prophet (Choisir) half-brother to

champion stayer Jameka (Myboycharlie) and an I Am Invincible colt who

is the first foal out of Zabeel (Sir Tristram) mare Ultimata, the sister to

Group 1 winner Shower Of Roses.

Gilgai Farm manager Kelly Skillecorn said not being able to parade

their horses in front of the buying

bench made it impossible for

Jamieson to offer his horses for

sale next month.

“It’s just going to be too

difficult for us and we’re going to

get left behind being down here

(in Victoria). We haven’t had

any on-farm inspections, so we

are just going to get crucified,”

Skillecorn told ANZ Bloodstock

News.

“We’ll take our chances by

racing them and hoping that we

can trade them as racehorses. If they are just OK they will go to Asia and

if they show a bit then we might jag a stallion but that is a needle in a

haystack job.

“But more than likely we will get them traded to Asia, be it Hong Kong,

Macau or Singapore.”

Skillecorn added: “It’s not their fault - it’s no one’s fault. The worst

thing we could have done was put a price tag on them. We could’ve gone

up there with an I Am Invincible colt with that pedigree and been offered

$200,000 when a couple of months ago he was a million-dollar horse and

that’s what’s going to happen.”

Inglis release new sales scheduleThe difficulties

faced by Inglis in

holding its Easter sale

also saw the company

release a new schedule

for the remainder of

2020 and in doing

so confirmed that

its feature breeding

stock offering, The

Chairman’s Sale, would be held as an online-only event. It will remain on

the same date as initially planned, being Friday, May 8.

The Australian Weanling and Broodmare Sale has now been split, with

the mare catalogue to be offered online on the digital platform on May

10 but the weanling sale is planned for July 10 in a live Riverside Stables

setting.

Next month’s Melbourne Gold Yearling Sale has also been postponed

until July 12 and 13 at Oaklands, with supplementary entries being taken

on top of the catalogue which had already been finalised.

The Great Southern Sale has also been pushed back and will follow

on from the Gold auction, with two days (July 14 and 15) set aside for

weanlings and other stock.

The Scone Yearling Sale has also been delayed due to it being deemed

that buyers need to be able to adequately inspect the horses, with a date

for the White Park offering set for July 26.

The Inglis Ready2Race Sale at Riverside Stables remains in its set date

of October 20, following The Everest carnival.

It’s just going to be too difficult

for us and we’re going to get left

AUSTRALIA

Zahra cleared of coronavirusMark Zahra has tested negative to coronavirus

- clearing racing to return in Victoria today.

Racing Victoria chief executive Giles Thompson

said the situation “has placed undue pressure

on Mark through no fault of his own". "I want

to again publicly thank and acknowledge the

professional and responsible manner in which

he has acted," Thompson said. “Mark’s negative

test paves the way for racing to resume in

Victoria tomorrow and for this we are extremely

grateful. We are acutely aware of the incredible

hardship that many Australians are facing as at

this time through the loss of their jobs, which

is why we are continuing to work so hard to

protect the livelihoods of all those within

Victorian racing who depend on it.”

Lees hoping to be Thorn in side of rivalsWhile Funstar (Adelaide) and Probabeel

(Savabeel) are set to clash for the fifth time in

tomorrow’s Vinery Stud Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m)

at Rosehill, they will face several fresh rivals,

including Kris Lees’ Game Of Thorns (Animal

Kingdom), who is coming out of the Kembla

Grange Classic (Gr 3, 1600m). Game Of Thorns

was one of the hard luck stories of the Kembla

race after she was strung up behind runners in

the straight but if the form out of the Classic does

stands up in the Vinery, Lees has no doubt his filly

will be right in the mix. "She was a bit luckless but

she's come out of it well," Lees said. "If there is

any benefit of having a 'held up' run, it is that they

normally bounce out of it well. Outside of the top

two, I think she's going to be very competitive. She

is on the way up so that's positive."

Probabeel on song for VineryMeanwhile, connections of Probabeel believe

she is in terrific order leading into the feature

race for three-year-old fillies and has every

chance to turn the tables on arch rival Funstar.

Te Akau Racing principal David Ellis credited

the work of Jamie Richards’ father Paul, along

with Ashley Handley, who have stayed on in

Australia to oversee the autumn campaigns of

Probabeel as well as Te Akau Shark (Rip Van

Winkle) and Melody Belle (Commands). “They

(Paul and Ashley) are really happy with her and

they are expecting she is going to go well over

the 2000 metres,” Ellis said.

Sunlight wins trialThree-time Group 1 winner Sunlight (Zoustar) is

one step closer to making her return to the races

with a one and a half length trial win at Strathalbyn

yesterday. Co-trainer Tony McEvoy told Racing.

com: "Barend (Vorster, rider) said she slipped at

the start, her hind legs basically went from under

her. From that point, he ensured she was OK, got

her balanced, found her rhythm and then let her

build into the trial. He felt she was a little tired

late but overall we were very happy. I would like

to add in difficult times, I felt the track was in

terrific order. Excellent coverage of grass and nice

moisture, well done to the Club and ground staff."

Sunlight will have another trial at Morphettville

on April 9 before resuming in the R.N. Irwin

Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) at Morphettville on April 18,

and will then target the Robert Sangster Stakes

(Gr 1, 1200m) on May 2 and The Goodwood (Gr

1, 1200m) two weeks later.

Mystic Journey in paddockAdam Trinder said yesterday that a decision

had been made to spell Mystic Journey (Needs

Further), given the uncertainty of interstate

travel in Australia.

The inaugural

All-Star Mile

(1600m) winner

returned with

a promising fifth

in the William Reid

Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) at

Moonee Valley. While Trinder said that she had

come through the run in great shape, a decision

had been made to pull up stumps and to focus

on the spring with closed borders in her home

state of Tasmania and her intended destination

of South Australia making a campaign too

difficult.

Libertini sidelinedAnthony Cummings’ Group 1 placegetter

Libertini (I Am Invincible) has been sent to the

paddock and will not race again this autumn

after sustaining an injury to a hind leg. The

three-year-old filly raced twice this time in,

finishing fourth in the Light Fingers Stakes

(Gr 2, 1200m) and ninth in the Newmarket

Handicap (Gr 1, 1200m).

Vengeur Masque retiredLast year’s Sydney Cup (Gr 1, 3200m)

runner-up Vengeur Masque (Monsun) has

been retired. "It's a sad day for us as he's

a stable favourite but after his run in the

Mornington Cup last Saturday we decided

it was time for him to finish," trainer Mike

Moroney told Racing.com. "He ran in an

English classic, the St Leger, then came to

us and won a Geelong Cup and a Queen

Elizabeth Stakes. He ran in a Melbourne Cup

and a Caulfield Cup and just missed when a

close second in a Sydney Cup so he doesn't

owe anybody anything."

Boss booked for Vow And DeclareMelbourne Cup-winning jockey Glen Boss will

link up with another Melbourne Cup winner in

the form of Vow And Declare (Declaration Of

War) when Danny O’Brien’s galloper tackles

the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) at

Randwick next month. Boss announced the

booking on Twitter yesterday. He has only

ridden the four-year-old once, steering him

to victory in the Tatt’s Cup (Listed, 3000m) at

Eagle Farm last year. Vow And Declare returned

with a good third in the Australian Cup (Gr 1,

2000m) earlier this month.

Corstens forced to lay off staffTroy Corstens, who trains in partnership

with his father Leon, said he has been forced

to lay off staff amid the coronavirus crisis.

“It's literally a day-to-day proposition at the

moment," Corstens told Racing.com. "As a

horse training business, we don't run at a high

profit and things are really starting to tighten up

and unfortunately I've had a couple of horrible

conversations in the last couple of days. I've had

to put five staff off, it's been really hard because

they're not conversations that you want to have.

You're playing with people's lives and it's not

something that we want to do but we've had to

move five on to make sure that the other 25 can

stay in work for the time being and keep going."

Pike denied Covid-19 testPerth jockey William Pike was denied a

coronavirus test at Sir Charles Gairdner

Hospital in Western Australia on Wednesday

after he was made aware his connection to Mark

Zahra was responsible for the cancellation of

the meeting at Ascot. "Obviously with my link

to the Melbourne jockeys being the reason we

were called off I wanted to go and get tested so I

could have an answer and we could get on with

racing and also reassure my family that all was

okay," Pike told Racing.com. "They wouldn't let

me take a test as I've only come in contact with

someone who's come in contact with someone

else who has it. You can only get a test if you're

the one who's directly come in contact with

someone who's tested positive to it, so I was

told to go home."

Cumani considering options if racing is suspendedWith the uncertainty surrounding the Australian

racing industry due to the coronavirus pandemic,

Ballarat trainer Matt Cumani is considering his

options should racing be shut down. "Does a

racing shutdown mean a training centre shutdown

too?" Cumani said. "If we can continue training

then it's a completely different story to if we can't

train. And do they set a timeline on the shutdown

like they did with the AFL? All those different things

change the picture so much, so we are trying to

work through the different scenarios. We're hoping

at the very least we can continue to train because

then the staff have a job. We try and take a family

approach and a lot of our staff are full time which

would make it a lot harder. If we have to lay off staff

then you need an awful lot of cash for redundancy

payments and that might make it prohibitive."

NEW ZEALAND

Karaka May Sale cancelledNew Zealand Bloodstock (NZB) yesterday

announced the cancellation of the 2020 Karaka

May Sale. With New Zealand on lockdown, it was

becoming increasingly untenable for vendors

to prepare horses to go through the ring as

scheduled on May 15. After consultations with

vendors and buyers, NZB said that the feedback

suggested that the only move was to cancel

the sale and investigate alternative options.

“Even though the lock-down period may finish

in four weeks, it is highly likely that travel and

public gathering restrictions will remain in

place. We want to give our vendors and buyers

some direction and clarity, thus we have made

the call now,” NZB managing director Andrew

Seabrook said. “Gavelhouse.com provides a great

opportunity for those clients that still wish to

offer their horses to the market. As recent results

demonstrate, the success of the online sale keeps

going from strength to strength. New Zealand

Bloodstock is confident that its subsidiary will

handle the overflow well.”

Downey appointed Valachi Downs GMKevin and Joanna Hickman yesterday announced

the appointment of Gareth Downey as General

Manager for their operation, Valachi Downs.

Downey joined the stud in 2018 as their breeding

consultant, which focused on the management

of the stud’s stallions US Navy Flag (War Front),

Zacinto (Dansili) and Savile Row (Makfi). “We have

been impressed with Gareth’s in-depth knowledge

of our business and the natural leadership he

brings from his past management roles in both

this and other industries,” the Hickmans said.

“We believe Gareth is the right person to help us

progress our ultimate aspirations of breeding and

racing high quality athletes, as well as leading a

team where the culture is an important reflection

of our personal values.”

Cambridge Stud hunkers downBrendan and Jo Lindsay have prepared

Cambridge Stud for the New Zealand

government’s Covid-19 lockdown, which

began yesterday. Like most farms, Cambridge

is operating to reduced capacity, with all

horses in their care being looked after by staff

that live on-site at the stud farm. “We are very

grateful for their commitment,” the couple

said in a statement yesterday. “All other staff

will remain at home during this time and

will be welcomed back to the farm when the

government determines it is appropriate. We

remain committed to the welfare of all our staff

and horses, and will support them fully during

this time. We are also dedicated to the industry

and will continue with the vision we have for

Cambridge Stud when it is safe to do so.”

Te Akau spells large teamOne of New Zealand’s largest racing groups, Te Akau

Racing, has elected to spell nearly all of its horses

and will remain operational only with a skeleton

staff. “We have brought most of the horses home

to spell at Te Akau Stud,” said Te Akau principal

David Ellis. “We will only have a limited number of

horses at Matamata and a few yearlings that are in

the breaking-in and education phase. Te Akau is

trying to show responsibility. We have told all of our

staff that they have still got jobs. Some are having

holidays, some have relocated to Te Akau Stud to

help with all the horses that are spelling. Most of our

horses go out for a spell in the next month anyway.

After a month we will be into the period where the

tracks are heavy and Te Akau doesn’t race much

then anyway.”

Ellis proud of strong seasonTe Akau Racing has had one of its best seasons on

record with Group 1 winners in New Zealand and

Australia and the Singapore-based Mark Walker

leading the premiership there. “We have had an

absolutely unbelievable season,” said Te Akau’s

David Ellis. “To have a mare like Avantage win

Group 1 races at 1200 metres, 1400 metres, 1600

metres, and 2000 metres is just a remarkable

effort from Jamie Richards and all the team at

Matamata. We have won seven Group 1 races

already this year, 11 Group 1s this season, and 20

black-type races – 17 in New Zealand and three in

Australia. These sort of statistics don’t get achieved

very often in New Zealand. I am incredibly proud

of the entire team here at Te Akau Stud and Te

Akau Racing, and Te Akau Singapore too.”

Saundry urges vigilanceNew Zealand Thoroughbred Racing chief executive

Bernard Saundry has cautioned all participants in

racing to adhere to stringent government protocols

in response to the spread of Covid-19 for both the

good of the industry and the health and well-being

of the nation. “Industry participants will be aware

that this week, in view of the country moving to

Level 4 on its COVID-19 alert system, New Zealand

Thoroughbred Racing made representation to MPI

to allow for the care of our horses to continue during

this time. These steps were taken purely for animal

welfare purposes,” he said. Advice from the Ministry

for Primary Industries confirms that training

stables and centres, stud farms and agistment

properties, where horses are in containment are

listed as essential services under animal welfare

considerations. However, time is of the essence

for those businesses with over five staff members

(including the owner), who are required to register

with the Ministry for Primary Industries by 5pm

local time today. To register, go to click here.

Singapore racing cuts meeting numbersThe Singapore Turf Club (STC) announced

yesterday that Kranji Racecourse would be

closed to the public immediately until April

30 in an attempt to minimise further spread

of Covid-19. Local racing will continue but the

number of race meetings will be reduced, with

tonight’s meeting the first to proceed under the

new measures. Throughout April, there will

only be one meeting per week at Kranji, with a

revised schedule to be released in the coming

days. Next month features the running of the

Singapore Derby (Listed, 1800m) on April 18.

Gary Lo loses HK jockey’s licenceFormer Adelaide rider Gary Lo has been sacked

by the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC), just

days before he was due to make his debut in his

hometown. Lo, who rode 66 winners in South

Australia, had returned to Hong Kong earlier

this month. The HKJC’s Executive Director of

Racing Andrew Harding would not expand on

the decision beyond it being an “employment-

related matter” but the South China Morning

Post reported that Lo’s conduct had raised

questions at Sports Road. Lo was set to have his

first Hong Kong rides at Sha Tin on Sunday.

McNamara settles into Hong KongAustralian commentator Mark McNamara has

been earning plenty of plaudits since his move

to Hong Kong late last month. McNamara has

quickly settled into his role as the voice of

Hong Kong racing and last weekend provided

an excited call to match a thrilling finish in

the Hong Kong Derby (Listed, 2000m), won

by Golden Sixty (Medaglia d’Oro). “I was

pretty nervous before the Derby, even though

in New Zealand I had called the Group 1s, the

Thousand and Two Thousand Guineas among

and it was important to get it right. You have

one chance to nail your first big feature race

and thankfully, it was the most remarkable,

entertaining Derby that they have had there in

a long time. I’ve learnt quickly that racing is the

be all and end all in Hong Kong.”

Zoffany to shuttle to Argentina Zoffany (Dansili) will shuttle from Ireland

to Argentina for the southern hemisphere

breeding season later this year after Haras

Firmamento reached an agreement with

Coolmore for the

leading sire's

services. “He

had a quick start

as a stallion and

now has larger

crops of better mares

to represent him, so the

best is yet to come,” said Laurent Benoit of the

Broadhurst Agency, who brokered the shuttle

deal. “I'm an admirer of Dansili and I think

Zoffany could be one of the leading stallions in

Europe in the coming years.” Zoffany will stand

at Haras Firmamento alongside Hit It A Bomb,

a Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (Gr 1, 1m) winner

by War Front (Danzig).

Racing Post suspends print operationsBritish industry newspaper Racing Post has

suspended its print operations in the face of

the Covid-19 crisis. Racing Post, whose owners

Spotlight Sports Group also produce ANZ

Bloodstock News, is the only daily newspaper

covering racing in the UK and Ireland. With

the sport coming to a halt in both countries

and betting shops closed until the crisis abates,

there was simply “no other choice”, according to

Racing Post editor Tom Kerr. “At some point in

the coming weeks or months, when the worst

of this disease has passed, horseracing will

resume. When racing is back, the Racing Post

newspaper will be back as well,” he wrote in an

open letter to readers.

Field of 13 for Florida DerbyThe Florida Derby (Gr 1, 9f), which has been

won by three of the last four horses to finish

first past the post in the Kentucky Derby (Gr 1,

10f), has drawn a field of 13 as racing continues

at Gulfstream Park. The race still serves as a

Kentucky Derby points race this year, with the

winner all but guaranteed a start at Churchill

Downs, but instead of heading to Louisville

on the first Saturday in May, the three-year-

olds will have to wait until the first Saturday in

September due to Covid-19. The field is headed

by Grade 1 winner Tiz The Law (Constitution)

and Grade 2 victor Ete Indien (Summer Front),

who finished one-two in the Holy Bull Stakes

(Gr 3, 8.5f) last month.

The Queensland winter racing

carnival has been scrapped as

the state moves to racing in five

separate regions.

The winter carnivals in all three codes,

thoroughbreds, harness and greyhounds, have

been abandoned for the first time in a century and

they will be replaced by standard metropolitan

race programming with selected feature races.

"Given the circumstances, it is the right

decision to abandon our carnivals," Racing

Queensland chief executive Brendan Parnell said.

"Our carnivals are used as the shop front to

showcase our codes and to attract patrons, and

in this current environment, it is not responsible."

It is the latest step taken by individual racing

bodies across Australia as authorities attempt

to balance restrictions imposed by federal and

state governments to counter coronavirus.

Racing has continued in Queensland with

strict biosecurity measures including no public

attendance but race clubs were facing millions

of dollars in losses if the carnival went ahead

without crowds.

RQ has also announced racing will be in five

regions and include eight zones from Tuesday

to help stem the spread of COVID-19.

The thoroughbred regions are:

• Metro North (Brisbane and Sunshine Coast);

• Metro South West (Gold Coast, Ipswich

and Toowoomba);

• Darling Downs and South-East

Queensland (SEQ) Coast;

• Central West and Central; and

• North West and North.

"With a raft of biosecurity measures

already in place, including patron-free racing

and a mandatory 14-day self-isolation period

for licensed participants, RQ will introduce

measures from Sunday that will provide five key

thoroughbred regions and four key greyhound

regions as part of a multi-staged approach to

health and safety," the statement said.

As part of the decision, thoroughbred

racing will be consolidated to 15 racetracks and

jockeys will be permitted to ride in one of the

five designated regions.

Trainers and stable staff will be further

restricted to one of eight zones within those

regions.

During this period, horses will not be

permitted to be transferred between zones for

the purpose of racing.

Any horse presently domiciled interstate

and not in Queensland by 11.59pm on Sunday

will not be allocated a region and will not be

able to race until further notice.

Horses will be permitted to be transferred

across regions for non-racing purposes such as

agistment or re-homing.

"The health and safety of our participants,

who are presently confronting a challenge like

no other is our paramount concern," Parnell

said.

"We must do everything within our powers

to provide for the 40,000 Queenslanders who

participate across the state.

"By introducing a regional racing model,

we are able to further support the Queensland

government's direction to stay local, reduce

non-essential travel and to limit the spread of

this insidious virus.

"In this instance, the sheer size of

Queensland is advantageous. The state is

almost eight times larger than Victoria and

twice the size of NSW and this presents racing

with a unique challenge and opportunity.

"While none of us knows what is on the

horizon, we can reduce the risk, limit the

spread and collectively work together for the

greater good."

In order to implement the regional racing

model, RQ will be forced to abandon Sunday's

programmed thoroughbred meetings.

Thoroughbred racing will recommence at

Mackay on Tuesday and will be restricted to

Central area participants.

BY DAVID MORGAN | HKJC_RACING

It’s taken 52 race meetings but a Zac

Purton double at Happy Valley on

Wednesday night meant the champion

jockey poked his nose into the lead in the

title race for the first time since late September.

The Australian ace arrived at the city-

side venue one win behind his great rival

Joao Moreira. At Sha Tin last Sunday, Purton

outpointed the Brazilian by three wins to two.

The championship race seems set for a

ding-dong battle through to the season’s final

meeting at the Valley on July 15.

“It looks that way but we’ll just see what

happens, it’s going to come down to which of us

gets the better support – that’ll be the decisive

factor,” Purton said.

Jolly Honour (Reliable Man) capped a race-

to-race brace for the rider and pushed him to

90 wins over Moreira’s 89. The Me Tsui-trained

galloper hit the front 250 metres out in the Class

3 Po Chong Wan Handicap (1650m) and held

the late drive of Naboo Star (Casino Prince) by

three-quarters of a length.

“He got a nice position and travelled well

the whole race,” Purton said. “He got left in

front a little earlier than I wanted but that’s just

the way the race unfolded – I think there’s more

there.”

The three-time champ enjoyed a cosier win

one race prior when the John Moore-trained

Shouson (Star Witness) took section two of the

Class 3 Kong Sin Wan Handicap (1200m) by two

and a half lengths.

“He travelled well into the race and did

it nicely but really everything just happened

perfectly for him,” Purton said.

Van Niekerk hits threePurton and Moreira are well clear of the rest

of the jockeys’ pack but a fascinating secondary

battle is taking shape after Grant van Niekerk

bagged a hat-trick.

The South African has struck a rich seam

of success lately, and, with his trio arriving on

the back of a brace at Sha Tin last weekend, the

South African is accelerating into a three-way

race for third place in this season’s premiership.

Karis Teetan currently holds the coveted

third spot with 50 wins, ahead of Vincent Ho’s

45, while Van Niekerk is now on 37.

“Vincent and Karis are two very good riders

so I’ll just take it as it comes; they are in sight

and I’ll be trying hard to get third place – it’s not

an easy task but when you get support here it’s

not impossible,” Van Niekerk said.

The rider opened his night’s account on

the Douglas Whyte-trained Best Alliance (Dark

Angel) in section two of the Tin Wan Handicap

(1650m), and that first success on a Whyte

stable galloper was his personal pick.

“Douglas is an iconic person – growing up

around racing people in South Africa you always

hear the name Douglas Whyte, so riding my

first winner for him in Hong Kong is something

special and close to my heart. Obviously, I’ve

been trying for a couple of meetings to get that

first winner for him so it’s really special for me,”

he said.

Van Niekerk made an early race-winning

move on Best Alliance as he urged the top-

weight from eighth with 900 metres remaining

to grasp the lead at the 700-metre mark; the

five-year-old kicked on at the turn for home and

held off his closing pursuers by a length and a

quarter.

“If you get horses with chances, and you

get the results, you naturally get confidence.

I’m getting the results and that confidence

is building, so hopefully I can keep getting

support,” he said.

Van Niekerk followed up in the next race,

section two of the Class 4 Sha Wan Handicap

(1000m) on the John Size-trained Zero Hedge,

and made it three wins aboard the Frankie Lor-

trained Blooming Spirit in section one of the

Class 4 Tin Wan Handicap (1650m).

But the in-form hoop left the track with a

sting of a three-meeting suspension (April 15

to 23) and a HK$120,000 fine for a charge of

careless riding aboard Best Alliance.

Neil Callan had to get tough with Super

Lucky (Myboycharlie) to come out on top

in a tight finish to the Class 4 Shek Pai Wan

Handicap (1200m). The Caspar Fownes-trained

six-year-old emerged from a pocket to score by

a head.

Matthew Chadwick took the finale, section

one of the Class 3 Kong Sin Wan Handicap

(1200m), on the Danny Shum-trained Winning

Method (Holy Roman Emperor). The three-

year-old finished strongly to score by a length

and a quarter.

Jockey Chad Schofield and trainer Chris

So combined for their first win together

since September 8, thanks to the success of

Wonderful Tiger (Approve) in the opener, the

Class 5 Waterfall Bay Handicap (1650m).

MAIDEN OF THE WEEK

| 10 |

With his win at Warwick Farm

on Wednesday, Damaged

(Exceed And Excel) joined

an illustrious group that

includes Redzel (Snitzel), Winx (Street

Cry), Foxwedge (Fastnet Rock), Plagiarize

(Stravinsky), Eremein (Timber Country), Show

County (County), Bint Marscay (Marscay) and

Slight Chance (Centaine).

The common thread? All broke 1:04 for the

Warwick Farm 1100 metres as two-year-olds.

This fact, pointed out by leading form analyst

Dominic Beirne on Twitter.

Even if the track was running incredibly

fast - which looks likely given the other two-

year-old winner at Warwick Farm, Forbidden

Love (All Too Hard), also broke 64 seconds,

although in slower time than the colt - it is still

a performance that suggests Damaged is one to

follow going forward.

In particular, the manner of Damaged’s two

and a half length win over Mark Newnham’s

debutant Codebreaker (Exceed And Excel)

suggests that the Godolphin colt will be a horse

to watch against better company.

“He’s pretty push button, which makes life

really easy,” said British jockey Tom Marquand,

who rode his first winner in the royal blue down

under. “He showed the promise that he half

teased he had. It’s always an honour to ride a

winner for Godolphin.”

Damaged had stepped out for the first time

on Boxing Day, finishing second behind the

subsequent Group 3 placegetter Return With

Honour (Fastnet Rock). He is next likely to head

to the Kindergarten Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) on the

first day of The Championships.

Damaged’s dam Shatters (Lonhro) was

lightly raced, winning three times in the Darley

maroon colours late in her three-year-old

season in 2009 and defeating the likes of Group

2 winner Vintedge (Flying Spur) and Listed

victor Jersey Lily (Catbird).

She has produced six foals; five who have

raced, with Damaged the fourth to win. Her best

foal has been Shards (Medaglia d’Oro), winner

of the Up And Coming Stakes (Gr 3, 1300m) in

2015; he continues to race in Singapore under

the name Wonder BB, having also had the

name Yulong Medal.

Shatters has an Astern (Medaglia d’Oro)

filly at foot currently and visited Astern again

last year.

Third dam Destruct (Sir Tristram) was

a Listed-winning half-sister to Strategic

(Zeditave) and Clang (Bellotto), while the

family traces back to 1967 Golden Slipper

winner Sweet Embrace (Todman).

BY KEN BOMAN | @ANZ_NEWS

Farnan (Not A Single Doubt)

staged a brilliant performance in

overcoming his wide barrier in

winning Saturday’s Golden Slipper

Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m), aided by a well-rated ride

from Hugh Bowman.

After beginning quickly from barrier 12,

Farnan worked in the early stages, covering the

first 200 metres in a conservative 13.49 before

crossing clearly to the lead with the next 200

metres proving a more taxing 10.93 – the first

400 metres on the Soft 5 track clocking 24.42.

On passing the 800-metre mark, Bowman

established a good pace for a Golden Slipper,

quick enough without inviting challengers, with

a 200-metre breakdown of 11.46, 11.43 and 11.26.

That saw the high-speed colt return a

600-metre section of 34.15 (from the 800m

to the 200m) before Farnan demonstrated

his class in repelling bids from Away Game

(Snitzel) and Mamaragan (Wandjina), running

his final 200 metres in 11.58 to win comfortably

by a length and three quarters.

The time for the 1200-metre journey was

1:10.19 - Farnan clocking a fast 56.66 for his

last 1000 metres, 45.73 (last 800m), 34.27 (last

600m) and 22.84 (last 200m), impressive closing

sectionals on the affected track.

The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-

trained colt is now the winner of five of his six

starts with prize money earnings of $2,502,200.

Connections subsequently announced Farnan

will now be spelled and reserved for his three-

year-old term.

The runner-up Away Game has now

established a unique juvenile record, winning

the Magic Millions 2YO Classic (RL, 1200m)

at the Gold Coast in January, running a close

fourth after a torrid run in the Blue Diamond

Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) in February, supported

now by a brave Golden Slipper performance.

Away Game was timed to run her last 1000

metres in 56.80, last 800 metres in 45.84, last

600 metres in 34.38 and 22.95 for her final 400

metres.

The third-placed Mamaragan also achieved

a rare achievement, the colt proving to be so

competitive in Australia’s richest two-year-old

race when having only his second race start.

Mamaragan was timed to run his last 1000

metres in 56.63, last 800 metres in 45.75, last

600 metres in 34.28 with his final 200 metres in

23.02.

The John Thompson-trained colt looks to

have a very bright future.

Earlier in the day, his vastly more

experienced stablemate Dreamforce (Fastnet

Rock) broke through for his first Group 1 victory

after a well-rated, front-running ride by Nash

Rawiller saw the seven-year-old take out the

George Ryder Stakes (Gr 1, 1500m).

Dreamforce went through the first 900 metres

in 55.97 (12.43 200m rate) before lifting the tempo

from the 600 metres, that final section clocking

34.09, a much quicker 11.36 200-metre rate.

Those tactics saw him hold off The

Bostonian (Jimmy Choux) who continued to

make ground in the sprint home, failing by a

short-neck at the post, with a final 600-metre

time of 33.75 (11.25 200m rate).

However, the tactics of the race proved

the undoing of the favourite Te Akau Shark

(Rip Van Winkle), who made ground without

threatening from back in sixth place at the 600

metres to take third, a length and a quarter

further back.

Te Akau Shark returned the quickest closing

sectionals of the race with his last 800 metres in

45.66, last 600 metres in 33.74, with his final 400

metres in 22.32.

By that stage of the day at Rosehill, a strong

line of thought had developed regarding the

track as favouring horses either leading or

racing close to the pace.

That could be correct but On The Watch

would also like to point out that the moderate

early tempo in a number of races would have

had a significant bearing on the results, as in

the aforementioned George Ryder Stakes.

And that certainly included the Rosehill

Guineas (Gr 1, 2000m) where Castelvecchio

(Dundeel) raced relatively close to the pace

before defeating Prince Fawaz (Fastnet Rock)

by a half-length in a time of 2:04.10 in a race

that also developed into a sprint home.

The first 1400 metres clocked a steady

1:29.10 (12.72 200m rate) before the leaders

sprinted 34.99 (11.66) for the final 600 metres.

That certainly made the task of the favourite

Shadow Hero (Pierro), who was back in

tenth place at that stage, very tough with the

Randwick Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) winner then

making ground without looking dangerous for

fourth, clocking a quick 34.47 (last 600m) and

22.91 (last 400m).

Acknowledgement is also due the winner

Castelvecchio who sprinted home in similar

time, 34.47 (last 600m) and 22.81 (last 400m), to

record his second Group 1 victory.

But the races where a lack of a genuine early

tempo was most noteworthy were the Ranvet

Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) and the N E Manion Cup

(Gr 3, 2400m), which were both taken out by

the Newmarket-based trainer William Haggas

and English-born jockey Tom Marquard.

Addeybb (Pivotal) staged a strong staying

effort in taking out the Ranvet Stakes in

impressive fashion at his Australian debut after

being taken to the front by Marquard.

After clocking a very moderate 1:19.58

(13.26 200m rate) for his first 1200 metres,

Addeybb rallied gamely in the sprint home

when tackled by the favourite Verry Elleegant

(Zed), that pair staging an exciting battle before

the English import scored by a half-length in a

time of 2.04.90.

Addeybb clocked a fast 45.24 (11.31 200m

rate) for his last 800 metres and 33.27 (11.09

200m rate) for his last 600 metres while Verry

Elleegant clocked 45.16 (11.29 200m rate) and

33.29 (11.09 200m rate).

The N E Manion Cup provided a similarly

exciting finish with Marquard’s forceful style

bringing out the best in the French-bred Young

Rascal (Intello) who lifted gamely under his

59-kilogram top-weight to defeat the favourite

Mugatoo (Henrythenavigator) by a long neck in

a time of 2:31.54.

That race also turned into a dash from the 800

metres after the first 1600 metres was clocked in a

very moderate 1:45.42 (13.17 200m rate).

Young Rascal was clocked to run his last

800 metres in 45.82 (11.45 200m rate) and 34.08

(11.36 200m rate) for his last 600 metres and

Mugatoo 45.63 (11.40 200m rate) and 34.00

(11.33 200m rate).
