lead-in to the gelding’s second start at Geelong

on September 6.

Rocket, as he is known to all and sundry,

owned the gelding with a mate and he had

entrusted his nephew, rookie trainer Clayton,

with the then talented but unexposed horse

and the pressure mounted when the owner

had rejected substantial offers emanating

from Hong Kong following the five-length Sale

victory on August 13.

The experienced eye of Rodney

“Rocket” Douglas told the former

trainer that Barocha (Ilovethiscity)

was a good horse and a lightning

Mornington track gallop that was markedly

faster than Group 1 sprinter Santa Ana Lane

(Lope De Vega) convinced him the gelding may

well be the real deal.

That insight, backed up by two impressive

jump-outs against stakes-class horses in late

July, prompted Douglas to have “the biggest

bet I’ve ever had in my life” when Barocha last

month lined up for his first start.

He admitted to nerves leading up to

Barocha’s much-talked-about Sale maiden win

- he won by five lengths as an odds-on favourite

after Douglas took care of the generous opening

prices - and the heart rate went up again in the Continued on page 2>>

Another impressive performance at

Geelong, on September 6, would up the offers and also boost Barocha’s

Hong Kong handicapper rating sufficiently.

Douglas had vowed to accept an offer “too good to refuse” if he made

it two from two and Clayton was also in line for a financial windfall.

The Barocha story starts years earlier when Douglas shared in the

ownership of another horse by under-rated Victorian stallion Ilovethiscity

(Magic Albert).

“We had a good Ilovethiscity with Tony Vasil a couple of years before

who never raced,” Douglas recalled yesterday.

“He went out for a spell, a couple of mates were in him, and then we

found him dead in the paddock.

He had a tumour in his heart.

“He could run, so I just kept

looking at the Ilovethiscitys.

There’s not that many of them

and the year of Barocha I was

in Adelaide selling yearlings

because I pinhook a couple and

I said to Anthony Freedman,

‘come down and have a look at

this Ilovethiscity’.

“We went and looked at it

and it wasn’t big enough for me

but Anthony loved it … and that

was (Group-placed) King Of

Hastings.”

Not long after, Douglas

spotted Barocha at the 2018

Inglis Vobis Gold Yearling Sale

and landed him for just $12,000

from the Rushton Park draft.

As King Of Hastings emerged

as an above average sprinter,

Douglas was forced to be patient

with Barocha.

Tony Vasil did the early

work with Barocha but his well-

publicised disqualification led to

the horse changing stables.

“I was going to give him to Freedman, but I said to Clayton, ‘you may

as well take this horse and see’ and we got him going and, next minute, he

was going like a learjet,” he said.

“I still couldn’t believe that when he went to Sale, after his trial, what

odds he was. I was like a panther waiting to back him because I’ve got a

mate who can get on.

“As soon as the odds came up at $6, I

rang him and next minute we were getting $4.20 and it was the biggest bet

I’ve ever had in my life.”

He continued: “I said he won’t get out of first gear. I’ve seen all these

horses like Super Seth and horses like that and that’s how they go when

they go to maidens and that’s what he did.

“I was around Clayton like a rash. He had some teachers around him

before the race, I can assure you, and his uncle was holding his hand at

trackwork on fast mornings.”

There was no betting at Barocha’s second start, but there was still a lot

at stake.

“I timed him at the track leading up to those races and I did the

trackwork for the papers for many years when I was a kid, so I know the

markers.” he said.

“I said to Anthony Freedman the morning he worked Santa Ana Lane,

‘that thing of ours has gone two seconds faster than yours the last three

furlongs’. He said, ‘Well, it won’t be getting beaten’. It was going like a

stakes horse.”

Barocha, of course, won at Geelong, and after further sale negotiations

the money landed on Monday and it was confirmed that John Size would

train the gelding for the Beauty Stable’s Simon and Patrick Kwok in a deal

handled by Australian-based agent, Wattle Bloodstock’s Peter Twomey.

“I don’t know if he’s a Group 1 horse, but the sky’s the limit for him,”

Douglas said.

“But you just couldn’t knock back the money for him as you’ve seen

what has happened with Rothfire and didn’t they knock back $3 million

for Masked Crusader? You could divide him by about five now. There’s

Kinane as well, so I know that they can be here today, gone tomorrow.

“It’s going to make my life a lot easier and I can do all sorts of things

with the money and drink happily ever after.”

Clayton also received a significant sling for his efforts and his uncle

was more than happy to part with the money.

He said: “I paid for his new truck. Normally that happens when the

trainers buy them and things like that, but I said to him that if he can

win at Geelong and we can get the deal done for him - I’d knocked back

$750,000 for him after his Sale win - then I’d give him ten percent.”

A few champagnes, justifiably, were consumed on Monday night by

Douglas and his wife Naomi, but it was back to work yesterday managing

Munz’s extensive racing portfolio.

Valuable Chris Waller-trained mare Toffee Tongue (Tavistock), the

sister to Werther who landed the Australasian Oaks (Gr 1, 2000m) in

Adelaide last campaign, is at a crossroads on Saturday in the Turnbull

Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m).

“It will determine where she stands on Saturday. If she runs a good

race in the Turnbull, obviously you push onto the Caulfield Cup, but if

she doesn’t measure up to that class you can lower your sights and maybe

aim at a Geelong Cup or a Moonee Valley Cup or something like that,” the

Pinecliff Racing manager said.

“Chris could give her one more run and say we’re better off giving her

a break and waiting for the autumn where in Sydney there’s give in the

tracks.

“She’s in the Melbourne Cup, so that might be the way she goes, but

she’s done the job already being a Group 1 winner. She’s an outcross filly,

so you can breed her to anything.”

First-up Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra-trained Bobbie Lewis (Gr

2, 1200m) winner Zoutori (Zoustar), a horse Munz and his co-owners

rejected offers for when the gelding was a three-year-old, will race down

the Flemington straight again on Saturday in the Gilgai Stakes (Gr 2,

1200m). He is also nominated for the Paris Lane Stakes (Listed, 1400m).

“At this stage he’s going to run in the Gilgai, but he’s poorly weighted

in that race, giving Santa Ana Lane three kilos. He’s badly weighted but

he’s such a good straight horse,” he said.

“After Saturday, I think Matty and Simon will step him up. He did run

fifth in the Carbine Club and fourth in the Sandown Guineas, so he can

run a mile.”

The Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained Southbank (Fastnet Rock),

who ran fifth in the Let’s Elope Stakes (Gr 2, 1400m) first-up, was third in

last year’s Thousand Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) and Douglas holds the mare

in high regard.

A $1.25 million Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale purchase, being

out of Group 3 winner Rezoned (Zabeel), herself a sister to four-time

winner Preferment, Southbank is nominated for the Rose Of Kingston

Stakes (Gr 2, 1400m).

“She’s had a few issues with her back and things, so they keep her at

Flemington now,” he said.

“First-up she just peaked and hopefully she gets a run in that race and

we will see where she sits as it was a good run the other day.

“She’s probably the best type of horse we’ve ever bought and she has

been a bit stiff. Two strides before she’d won the Thousand Guineas, but

Flit got her near the line.”

Munz, whose GSA Bloodstock portfolio numbers about 100 elite broodmares,

also has the Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained Agreeable (Sebring) heading

towards the Thousand Guineas at Caulfield on Saturday week.

“There are a lot of mares up in the Hunter Valley and then there’s

others he’s sent to Super Seth. He’s got the Abbey Maries and Fenways

with Arrowfield as well,” Douglas said of Munz.

“He’s very passionate about it.”

AUSTRALIA

Coolmore secures Santa Ana Lane for Everest

Santa Ana Lane (Lope De Vega) will run in his

third Everest (1200m) after Coolmore came to

agreement with the owners of the Anthony and

Sam Freedman-trained five-time Group 1 winner.

“Given his record at Randwick over 1200 metres

we were confident he would receive a slot, so it

has been our sole focus this preparation,” Anthony

Freedman said. “It’s a race that continues to grow

in popularity each year and we are proud to be

involved.” Coolmore Australia principal Tom

Magnier pointed out that the breeding operation

had a long-term relationship with the Freedman

stable. “Santa Ana Lane is out of a Fastnet Rock

mare and he is one of the best sprinters we have

seen in the past decade,” Magnier said. “Anthony

and Sam are very happy with the horse and we

believe if he brings his best he will be hard to beat.”

Santa Ana Lane, who ran sixth in the 2018 Everest

and second last year, will resume in the Gilgai

Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) at Flemington on Saturday.

He is owned by the William Street syndicate.

Jolly happy to reunite with NashBehemoth’s (All Too Hard) trainer David Jolly

is delighted to have 60-time Group 1-winning

jockey Nash Rawiller on board his star gelding

for The Everest. Despite the complexities

surrounding jockey selection between slot

holder The Star and Behemoth’s owners Grand

Syndicates, he is pleased to have a jockey on

board that he has enjoyed success with in the

past. “I think Nash will really suit the horse and

I’ve had a bit of success with him back in the

day,” Jolly told Thoroughbred Racing SA. “He

won a Monash Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) for me on

Sassbee (Blevic).” Jolly will make a decision

later in the week regarding a potential hit-out

between races at Morphettville on Saturday or

a jump-out at Murray Bridge on Friday. “We’re

just working out what will suit the horse best

and the timing,” Jolly said. “He’ll have a good

gallop later in the week and then he’ll travel up

the following week and I’ll probably head up

with the horse.”

Wide draw no barrier for FunstarFunstar’s (Adelaide) wide barrier draw in the

Epsom Handicap (Gr 1, 1600m) may work

to her advantage, according to jockey Glen

Boss. Funstar came up with gate 19 of 21 at

Tuesday's barrier draw but Boss, who will bid

for his fifth victory in the famous Randwick

mile after winning on Kolding (Ocean Park)

12 months ago, remained upbeat the mare still

had a strong chance. "The draw doesn't really

make it that difficult. It's probably one of the

fairest starts in Australia, the mile start," Boss

said. "Sometimes the inside draws can be a

hindrance to you and the outside draws can

be a saviour with the pressure that can come

from the outside." Funstar, who landed the

Flight Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) last year, lines up

on Saturday following a solid second to Wild

Planet (Animal Kingdom) earlier this month.

"She has been set for the race having had two

runs under her belt already and she is third

up," Boss said. "I got to work her on Saturday

morning on the course proper at Rosehill and

she just seems to be low flying at the moment."

Gate obstacle for ProbabeelLining up next to Funstar in barrier 18 will

be last year’s Surround Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m)

winner Probabeel (Savabeel) and her trainer

James Richards is considerably less optimistic

about the wide draw. “I am gutted, but we are

just going to have to be a bit patient and most-

likely go back and give her a crack at them late

and see how it all fits together,” Richards said.

“We will be open-minded about how she is

ridden and thankfully we have a very capable

rider (Kerrin McEvoy) who knows exactly what

it takes to win these big races.” Probabeel took

out the Bill Ritchie Handicap (Gr 3, 1400m)

last start and will shoulder 52.5 kilograms in

the Epsom Handicap, which Richards thinks

is more than fair. “This has been the aim all

the way through, trying to get her into the race

with the right sort of weight that we thought

she could win,” said Richards. “She has got in

there with 52.5kgs, as has Funstar, so for a four-

year-old mare that has got Group 1 form in

the autumn in Sydney, I think it is quite a nice

weight.”

McEvoy confident in MugatooMetropolitan Handicap (Group 1, 2400m)

favourite Mugatoo (Henrythenavigator) will

need to set a modern day weight-carrying

record if he is to give jockey Kerrin McEvoy a

first win the race. Mugatoo, who landed gate

seven at yesterday’s barrier draw, will carry 57

kilograms in Saturday's feature after receiving

a one kilogram penalty for his dominant

Newcastle Gold Cup (Gr 3, 2300m) triumph.

"This is a nice Group 1 race for him to be aimed

at and Kris [Lees] has got to know the horse

well over a couple of seasons now, so I feel

this is the best he's been," McEvoy said. "Kris

and the team said he has pulled up well since

that Newcastle Cup win, which he got an extra

kilogram penalty for, but he is the class horse in

the race and I'm looking forward to riding him

there on Saturday." The only other horses to

win off similar weights in the past 20 years are

Opinion (Oasis Dream), who had 56 kilograms

in 2014, and County Tyrone (Nice Choice), who

was prepared by Lees to win with 56.5 kilograms

a decade earlier.

Hill Stakes for Fierce ImpactLast-start Makybe Diva Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m)

winner Fierce Impact (Deep Impact) is expected

to line up in Sydney on Saturday, rather than

heading to the Turnbull Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m)

at Flemington. Trainer Matthew Smith has

indicated that the seven-year-old entire, who

won a barrier trial on Monday, is set to run in

the Hill Stakes (Gr 2, 2000m) at Randwick. He

was also entered for the Epsom Handicap (Gr 1,

1600m) and the Turnbull Stakes.

Vet check for Etah JamesEtah James (Raise The Flag) will be inspected

later this week to ascertain whether she is

suitable to race in the Metropolitan Handicap

after Racing NSW stewards received advice of

two separate issues with the mare. “Etah James

(an acceptor in The Heineken Metropolitan)

underwent surgery for the removal of a sarcoid

adjacent to its right eye since its last start,” said

Racing NSW. “In addition to this surgery, the

mare has healing granulation tissue associated

with postoperative topical therapy to the left

side of its face. A veterinary clearance has been

received and Racing NSW chief veterinary

officer, Dr Toby Koenig will inspect Etah

James later this week to ascertain the mare’s

suitability to race.” Etah James trialed three

times in September but has not competed on a

race day since winning the Sydney Cup (Gr 1,

3200m) in April.

Aktau on track for TurnbullAktau (Teofilo) will line up in the Turnbull

Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) on Saturday and Mike

Moroney is expecting him to show his class

ahead of the Caulfield Cup (Group 1, 2400m)

on October 17. Aktau will take on a star-studded

line up in Saturday's feature at Flemington, with

Verry Elleegant (Zed), Surprise Baby (Shocking)

and Master Of Wine (Maxios) among the field.

"It's going to be a tough assignment but I think

he's ready to run a big race and it will bring

him on to peak in the Caulfield Cup," Moroney

said. He will be ridden in the Turnbull Stakes

by Daniel Moor who will retain the ride for the

Caulfield Cup, which Aktau secured his place

for by winning the Mornington Cup (Listed,

2400m) in March. The five-year-old is 50th in

the Melbourne Cup (Gr 1, 3200m) order of

entry. "Hopefully he can get in the Melbourne

Cup from his next two starts but if he hasn't got

in, we will look at running him in the Hotham

Handicap," Moroney said.

Arcadia Queen to remain on Cox Plate pathArcadia Queen (Pierro) will again take on

Russian Camelot (Camelot) in the Caulfield

Stakes as owner Bob Peters maps out her path

to the Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) on October 24.

Arcadia Queen faded late into third place in last

Saturday’s Underwood Stakes (Gr 1, 1800m) at

Caulfield, finishing behind Russian Camelot

and Humidor (Teofilo) and Peters is happy to

have another crack at the pair, but admits his

mare will need to step up a gear. "The path (to

the Cox Plate) was always the Caulfield Stakes.

She can get better, but she'll have to,” Peters told

Racing.com. "I think she was good until the last

50 (metres) and then she seemed to hit the wall,

but she might not have been quite ready for it.

I think that horse (Russian Camelot) might be

the best horse in Australia at the moment and

the other old horse (Humidor) that got her for

second place, he is a pretty good horse too."

Richards plans exhibition gallop for Gytrash

Gordon Richards will run star-sprinter Gytrash

(Lope De Vega) between races at Warwick

Farm a week today in preparation for his shot

at The Everest on October 17. "I'm looking

forward to seeing him again and giving him a

pat. It's hard not to miss him," Richards, who

heads back to Sydney on Friday, told Racing.

com. "The plan is to gallop him between races

at Warwick Farm on Wednesday, October

7. He will have a companion in the workout

because he can float around a bit when he's by

himself. We intend to give him a pretty solid

hit-out, which will fit in perfectly 10 days out

from The Everest.” Gytrash, who will be aiming

to add to his sole Group 1 in the Black Caviar

Lightning (Gr 1, 1000m), features prominently

in the betting as third-favourite behind Nature

Strip (Nicconi) and Classique Legend (Not A

Single Doubt).

Empire Rose next for Mystic JourneyMystic Journey (Needs Further) will line up

in the Empire Rose Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) at

Flemington on October 31, trainer Adam

Trinder has confirmed. The five-year-old mare

had not won since August last year but returned

to form when taking out the Stocks Stakes (Gr

2, 1600m) at Moonee Valley on Friday night.

"She will go five weeks into the Empire Rose

on Derby Day, that's the plan," Trinder told

RSN927. "That was potentially always our

mindset the whole way through. She held an

entry for the Cox Plate, but I was always leaning

towards keeping her at 1600 metres. It's just the

way things have transpired that it's probably

worked out perfect now. She will have a nice

little break between runs, which doesn't affect

her whatsoever."

Zahra to ride Cambourne in GuineasMark Zahra will ride Cambourne (Redoute’s

Choice) in the Caulfield Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m)

on October 10, replacing Michael Dee after

a consultation with the ownership group.

Cambourne was unbeaten heading into last

weekend’s Caulfield Guineas Prelude (Gr 3,

1400m) and finished a credible fourth, two and

a quarter lengths behind winner Crosshaven

(Smart Missile). "He has bounced through it

beautifully. He was right on his toe (Tuesday)

morning," Michael Kent Jr, who trains in

partnership with Mick Price, told Racing.com.

"He carries very good body weight, which is

important because he has got a compressed

program given he started late. He has got a few

things in his favour, he has a great constitution,

he works, eats and sleeps, literally. He is very

relaxed and doesn't waste any nervous energy.

And most importantly, he has got talent."

old comes through the $7.5m Golden Eagle

(1500m). The gelding is due to arrive in Sydney

early next month for the Silver Eagle (1300m)

at Randwick on October 10, before tackling

the big prize of the Golden Eagle three weeks

later. Alligator Blood, who won the Australian

Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) in February, had his

first start for the spring in a sprint at Doomben

(1100m) carrying 61kg into third place and

pleasing his trainer with his effort. “He settled

nicely and found the line, he didn’t set the world

on fire but he got a pass mark and he has come

through it well,’’ David Vandyke told Racing

NSW. “I’m looking forward to seeing him over

the 1300m which would be a more suitable trip

but I’d say his best distance is probably around

the Golden Eagle distance (1500m).”

Malahide on track for Magic MillionsMalahide’s (Shamus Award) trainer Michael Costa

is targeting another shot at the Magic Millions

carnival with his talented mare. The five-year-

old came a creditable sixth in the Magic Millions

Fillies & Mares Rising Stars Handicap (1300m)

last January and will have her second start this

campaign over 1100 metres at the Gold Coast

today, after a fifth-placed finish over 1200 metres

at Doomben earlier this month. “She looked the

winner at one stage in her last run but gassed out

and rolled back to the fence which was probably

the worst part of the track,” Costa told Racing

Queensland yesterday. “She resented being in

close to the fence and a few things brought her

undone. At this stage she’ll have a short break for

two or three weeks after tomorrow and get ready

for some Listed races during the summer and the

Magic Millions Fillies & Mares race again.”

Shalaa filly wins Brisbane trialA filly by Arrowfield Stud’s shuttler Shalaa

(Invincible Spirit) won a two-year-old barrier

trial at Eagle Farm yesterday in the fastest heat

of the morning. Trained by Rob Heathcote,

Shaluna won heat two for fillies over 800 metres

where she scored by five lengths in a time of

46,01 seconds. Raced by Chinchilla’s Gleeson

Thoroughbreds, who also bred Heathcote’s

injured Group 1 winner Rothfire (Rothesay),

after being passed in at the Magic Millions Gold

Coast March Yearling Sale, Shaluna defeated

Entanglement (Bel Esprit) and Rhapsody Rose

(Star Witness). Shalaa stands for a fee of $33,000

(inc GST) at Arrowfield this year.

Extreme Choice colts win jump outsTrainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr are eying

off the MRC Debutant Stakes (Listed, 1000m) at

Caulfield on Saturday week with a pair of colts

by first season sire Extreme Choice (Not A Single

Doubt). Extreme Warrior won heat one in a time

of 48.94 seconds for the 800 metres after working

home strongly while Red Rocketship showed

speed to win heat two in a time of 49.17 seconds.

94 pay up for Melbourne CupA total of 94 horses remain in contention for a

start in the 2020 Melbourne Cup, the highest

number of first acceptances in ten years.

Racing Victoria announced that despite the

Covid-19 pandemic, the Melbourne Cup had

82 locally-trained horses and 12 international

horses paid up as first acceptors on Tuesday.

Over the past five years there has been an

average of 16 overseas horses still in the

mix at the same stage. The biggest names to

drop out of Melbourne Cup contention are

Mr Quickie (Shamus Award), Arcadia Queen

(Pierro) and Colette (Hallowed Crown).

Chris Waller has the most in the running

with nine, including Verry Elleegant and

Finche (Frankel). Last year's Melbourne

Cup-winning trainer Danny O'Brien has six

first acceptors, including reigning champion

Vow And Declare (Declaration Of War)

and boom galloper Russian Camelot. With

an international rating of 121, the Aidan

O'Brien-trained Anthony Van Dyck (Galileo)

is the headline act among the international

horses due to land in Melbourne on Friday

night. Hugh Bowman will ride him in the

Caulfield and Melbourne Cups.

NSW horse movement restrictions easedRacing NSW has announced further easing of

restrictions permitting horses to travel from

Victoria into NSW, following a reduction in

the amount of daily new Covid-19 cases in

Victoria and the stabilisation of the infection

rate. The latest announcement means Victorian

horses no longer have to spend two full days at

a spelling farm before proceeding to a racing

stable. Racing NSW announced: “The easing of

these restrictions will allow all horses currently

located in Victoria to be transported into

NSW, subject to the Racing NSW Policy for the

Transportation of Horses from Victoria with

horses now only required to spend three hours

in an outside yard or paddock at a spelling

property or pre-training property before

being transported to a racecourse or licensed

stables.” Other restrictions, including use of

one transport driver and maintaining social

distancing, remain in place.

Alexander blasts timingArchie Alexander was unhappy with Racing

NSW’s relaxation of Covid-19 protocols, arguing

the announcement should have come before

the acceptance time for the Metropolitan and

Epsom Handicaps. Alexander said he was keen

to run last year’s Metropolitan runner-up Gallic

Chieftain (Tamayuz) and Young Rascal (Intello)

this weekend. "If they'd announced this 24

hours earlier, we would have gone," Alexander

told Racing.com. "We decided not to go because

it is too complicated with no staff allowed to

travel with the horses. Going to a spelling farm

for two days - it is not a training centre as we

know. You don't know what the facilities are

like - they are farms not training centres - and

so with no staff, you don't want to hand over the

pride and joy of your stable to people you don't

know. It's exactly the reason we haven't gone

and then to find out just after acceptance time

of the change in rules is really disappointing.

Under the new rules, to spend three hours at

a spelling farm is actually a really nice luxury.

The horse can get off the truck and have a pick

and a roll, have a drink and then they head off

to Warwick Farm as we've always done. We use

Ciaron Maher's place to run from and we would

have gone. Instead we have no runners. It's

annoying. I am not saying we would have won

but it's the principle.”

Injury sidelines ThorntonDamien Thornton will be out for an extended

period of time after suffering five fractures and

ligament damage in his right foot. The Group-1

winning jockey was injured in a

racing incident at Pakenham

on August 31 and the latest

diagnosis is worse than

originally expected. Thornton

had to undergo surgery and will

wear a moon boot for the next six weeks,

with his return date not likely to be until 2021.

NEW ZEALAND

Brosnan savours stakes winMark Brosnan won his first stakes race for

over nine years when Supreme Heights

(Jimmy Choux) won the New Zealand

Bloodstock Ready To Run Sale Trainers Series

(Gr 3, 1400m) on Saturday, and he believes it

was a fitting outcome from a mare who held

the shining light at the end of New Zealand’s

Covid-19 racing lockdown. “It’s been a long

time between them,” Brosnan said. “She’s a

good mare and I knew she had the ability, but

I was worried about her handling the track.

We decided to press on during lockdown and

keep training them. We never have more than

12 in work and Yo [Brosnan’s wife] and I do it

ourselves. It’s helped us have her fit enough

for this race, even though she paid a hefty

penalty for her (lead-up) win at Te Rapa. The

sort of horses I’m dealing with are suited by

the racing and tracks at the time we had the

lockdown. That’s often the time of year I get

a few winners, while the good horses are out

with the bigger stables easing off and resting

most of their teams.”

Divine Prophet juvenile wins trial

First season sire Divine Prophet (Choisir) had a

trial winner at Te Aroha yesterday as his juvenile

colt out of Caramellos showed an electrifying

foot in heat seven. Trained by Team Rogerson,

the unnamed juvenile beat two other two-year-

olds under Samantha Collett. Divine Prophet,

who won the Caulfield Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m)

in 2016 and now stands at Aquis Farm in NSW

for a fee of $22,000 (inc GST), is awaiting his

first race day winner.

ASIA

Jolly Banner after third Group winChampion trainer Ricky Yiu is targeting stable

stalwart Jolly Banner (Lonhro) at the National

Day Cup Handicap (Gr 3, 1000m) on Thursday,

as he bids to secure a third Group victory for the

nine-year-old. “This will be one of his last few

runs – probably by the end of the year we will

try and send him back to Australia – he’s a nine-

year-old, so we need to take it race-by-race,” Yiu

told the Hong Kong Jockey Club. The gelding,

who will race for the 43rd time in the handicap,

has won HK$14.8 million in prize money since

being bought at the 2013 Australian Easter

Yearling Sale for AUD$300,000 (approx. HK$1.6

million). “It was love at first sight!” Yiu said. “I

rang up the client, who is the owner now, and

straight away said we need to buy this horse

– he’ll do well, I like him a lot, he’s a natural

runner.” Jolly Banner’s last two wins have come

at Group 3 level, firstly the 2019 Bauhinia Sprint

Trophy Handicap (Gr 3, 1000m) followed by

the Premier Cup Handicap (Gr 3, 1400m) three

starts ago in June.

Saudi Arabia: Saudi Cup prize money boostThe Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia will increase

prize-money for its two-day Saudi Cup

meeting, beginning in Riyadh on February 19.

Prince Bandar bin Khalid al Faisal, chairman

of the JCSA, announced that US$30.5 million

would be offered across the Saudi Cup card,

up from US$29.2m, with the feature contest

still run for US$20m. The JCSA has increased

the prize-money for three dirt races on the

card: the Obaiya Arabian Classic, The Jockey

runners from tier two and tier three countries,

such as Italy. The JCSA is withholding prize-

money from connections of the first Saudi Cup

winner, Maximum Security (New Year's Day),

whose former trainer Jason Servis is among 27

people facing federal charges in the US as part

of an alleged widespread doping scheme. "This

STEVE MORAN

BY STEVE MORAN | @ANZ_NEWS

Billy Pyers is perhaps, and certainly

unfairly, best known for going to

jail. Twice.

His release, on the second

occasion, came after a pardon from French

President Georges Pompidou. Quite a tale.

However those stories - other than

demonstrating just how popular he was with the

French - don’t do justice to the likeable South

Australian who, with his red hair and freckles,

was dubbed Ginger Meggs and worthily takes

his place among our “Incomparables”.

Pyers created a huge impression, courtesy

of his skill in the saddle and big personality,

in Australia, France and even in England

where he had many memorable cameos

including winning major races at his first ride at

Newmarket, Ascot and York.

But Australia and France were his homes

and where he dominated the racing and general

news at various times. He won the Prix de l’arc

de Triomphe in Paris (where he was jailed a

few days later) and was seven times champion

jockey in Adelaide by the age of 24, in 1957.

He won his 8th and 9th premierships in

1959-60 and 1960-61. Then, as his services were

keenly sought by interstate trainers, he won the

Caulfield Cup and the Golden Slipper in 1963

and other major races including the Moonee

Valley Cup, Newmarket Handicap, Oakleigh

Plate, Futurity Stakes, Caulfield Stakes, Cantala

Stakes and VRC Sires.

At home, he rode Tulloch to win the 1961

Pullman Stakes which was the great horse’s

only appearance in

Adelaide. It was the

third last win (and

start) of Tulloch’s 53

start career which

yielded 36 wins and

just one unplaced

run. He won the

Adelaide Cup, SA

Derby plus the

Goodwood twice and

SA Oaks seven times.

''I never had a better

jockey than Billy

Pyers,'' reportedly

said legendary South

Australian trainer

Colin Hayes.

In 1964 he went to

France to partner with

fellow Australian,

trainer Ernie Fellows,

and on his first ride

in England won

the 2000 Guineas

at Newmarket on

20/1 chance Baldric II

who was trained by Fellows and owned by an

American Mrs Howell (Dorothy) Jackson whose

maroon colours - in truth those of her husband

- were apparently the oldest registered in the

United States.

He later rode for Daniel Wildenstein, the

Aga Khan and for another American Nelson

Bunker Hunt which led to his partnership with

the champion mare Dahlia, albeit one which

was terminated by the owner in her four-year-

old season.

His major successes included the King

George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (twice),

French Derby, Irish Oaks, Ascot Gold Cup and

the 1967 Arc on Topyo. He also won the 1973

Washington DC international on the great

Dahlia, whom he regarded as the greatest horse

he ever rode.

Pyers provided some background to his

move to France and securing his Arc mount in a

Racing Post interview in 2002.

"Ernie (Fellows) had only about 20

horses, so I also started riding out for Mick

Bartholomew," he recalled, "which led to big-

race wins like the Gold Cup on Pardallo and

the Arc on Topyo. I hadn't ridden a winner in

France when I came over to Newmarket to ride

Baldric in the Guineas."

Nor had he been to Newmarket until

that week as was reported post-race: - “The

Australian Jockey saw Newmarket for the first

time when he walked the course on Tuesday

morning. He said the win was the greatest

day of his career. After arriving in France in

February he had ridden 20 times without

success. Now, at the 21st attempt, came this

brilliantly-executed victory.”

The Guineas was then the richest race in

England. "I guess we are lucky in England,”

gasped an almost breathless Mrs. Howell

Jackson after the win.

“The American owner's remark was the

understatement of the racing season,” the

report added, “but understandably so in the

excitement of victory. Mrs. Jackson has had three

runners In our classics and each has won. The

colt, bred at the Jackson's stud in Middleburg,

Virginia, is trained in France by an Australian,

Ernie Fellows, and

was ridden by his

compatriot Bill

Pyers.

“ V i c t o r y

c o m p l e t e d

a remarkable

treble for the

Jacksons as their only

other runner in the English classics was Never

Too Late II, heroine of the 1960 Oaks and One

Thousand Guineas.”

Apparently it was also a good result for

Bob Simpson's Australian cricket team who

retained the Ashes 1-0 and backed Baldric II on

Pyers’ recommendation.

The Guineas would not be the only time

that Pyers, who was described as "a fun-loving

jockey whose flair for imaginative pranks made

him one of the best-liked personalities of the

Australian turf”, would stun the English.

This was filed after he won the Dante

Stakes at York the following year: - “Bill Pyers,

the French-based jockey who made a habit of

winning on his first ride on an English course,

did it again at York yesterday. Pyers, who last

year had first-timers at Newmarket on Baldric

II in the 2,000 Guineas and at Ascot on Nasram

in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth

Stakes, was a late replacement for stable jockey

Brian Connorton on Ballymarais in the Dante

Stakes and the Northern-trained colt slammed

his more fancied Derby rivals to win by half

a length from the Irish challenger Meadow

Court.”

Life was good for the young gun from South

Australia. Pyers, after winning the Arc on 80/1

chance Topyo in 1967, told Reuters he planned

to settle permanently in France "unless I earn

enough money to live in idle luxury".

"It is the ambition of all jockeys to win

the Arc,” Pyers said, “it’s the biggest race in

the world, or that's what we think. It makes

the Melbourne Cup look small. It makes ten

Melbourne Cups. We think in Australia that the

Melbourne Cup is the crowning glory, but they

have hardly heard of it here.

"We've still got a soft spot for Australia but

this is the place".

Topyo was owned by Suzy Volterra

(Grimberg) who began her career as a dancer

at the Paris Opera. In 1947, she met Léon

Volterra, Parisian impresario and great lover

of horses, whom she married shortly before he

died in 1949. He left her his property including

his stable of racehorses. She also won the 1955

Epsom Derby with Phil Drake and would later

engage one of France’s leading lawyers to

represent Pyers when faced with charges from

two car accidents.

Chantilly trainer

B a r t h o l o m e w

prepared Topyo

to win the Arc.

Aside from this

success, he was

well known for

contracting Lester

Piggott to ride for him on

Sundays (only) in France and also for tutoring

(as did Tommy Smith) respected trainer Henry

Candy.

At the time, Pyers said he estimated he was

earning two or three times what he would be

earning in Australia.

“The large grin of Australian Billy Pyers is

extra wide these days— he's just become the

highest paid jockey in Europe,” it was reported

in 1968, “Pyers has signed to ride the powerful

string of horses owned by international art

dealer Daniel Wildenstein for the next three

years. His reported retainer is $US80,000 a year.

In addition he will receive his riding fees and

ten per cent of all place money.”

The average earnings for a week’s work, in

Australia, in 1965-66 was $57 (around $740 in

today’s dollars).

The Daily Mail quoted the the racing

manager for Mr and Mrs Howell Jackson as

saying “we could not match the $80,000 a

year Daniel Wildenstein is paying him" while

former English champion rider Sir Gordon

Richards said “an absolutely top English jockey

can probably command a retainer of not more

than £6,000. Things seem to have got out of all

proportion".

Pyers, like his compatriot Togo Johnstone

who was dubbed Le Crocodile in France, could

find trouble.

Max Presnell wrote, in 2004 after Pyers

died in the same week as cricket legend Keith

Miller: “Pyers was in a car crash in France

and escorted the women driver of the other

car to her home, and was assured she wasn't

injured. More than a year later the woman

recognised Pyers on television after he won a

big race and sued him for careless driving and

failing to report an accident. He spent 33 days

in gaol, and said ''the best two blokes I met

were Russian spies''.

Indeed it was a few days after winning the

Arc and it was then reported that Pyers would

spend at least three days in the “grim” Sante

Prison.

“He was arrested last night following a

motoring case last July when he was sentenced

to a years imprisonment in his absence. But

there was a public outcry tonight over the

jailing of Pyers….he is almost a national hero,”

the French Press reported.

Pyers, then 34, said he knew nothing about

the court hearing which heard evidence of an

alleged hit and run driving offence 15 months

earlier. His lawyer said Pyers was being

pampered by warders hoping to get tips for the

races.

Soon after it was reported that Pyers “who

rode the winner of Europe's richest race ten

days ago, went off to jail for a year today.”

He was freed a month later. “Jockey

Bill Pyers will be set free from a French jail

tomorrow—after serving just thirty-four days

of a one-year sentence. His lawyer successfully

appealed today against the sentence passed on

the Australian in his absence last July. Today the

appeal court decided that papers telling Pyers

of his right to appeal had not been properly

served.

“Judges reduced the sentence to a £140

fine and a month in jail. When the verdict was

announced, Pyers jumped up and embraced

his lawyer, his wife Becky and 14-year-old

daughter Sandra and burst into tears.”

Four years later, Pyers found himself in hot

water again.

It was January 1971 and a French

prosecutor insisted he should go to gaol on

charges of drunk driving, assault and attempted

bribery of a police officer. Pyers had earlier

been convinced of these charges but given

a six months suspended sentence which the

prosecutor argued was “insufficient” penalty.

"The conduct of Mr William Pyers was to

say the least cavalier", the prosecutor said. He

was re-sentenced to three months jail.

Then, in January 1972, came news of

his pardon. “Australian jockey Bill Pyers left

Compiegne prison yesterday with a presidential

pardon. The 38-year-old, one of the idols of

French racing, had served nearly two thirds of

a three month term.

“Pyers looked fit but pale as he came

bouncing through the iron prison gates to

freedom in cold, foggy weather. ‘I was in the

prison infirmary all the time, so life wasn't too

bad’,” he said.

The Arc was one of 23 races, which now

have Group 1 status, Pyers won in England,

Ireland and France. He also rode the champion

mare Dahlia to multiple successes including the

Washington DC International after which her

trainer Maurice Zliber was asked to compare

Dahlia to the American champion Secretariat

(who won the Triple Crown that year).

Zilber said: “She could beat Secretariat any

day in any country. I would like to see a match

race. I would even put up my money".

Pyers’ wins on Dahlia in the Irish Oaks and

in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth

Stakes were especially memorable.

Julian Wilson, in The Great Racehorse,

wrote: “Dahlia’s success in the King George was

one of the most staggering big race victories I

have ever seen. Last with a half mile to race, she

swept past a field which included Rheingold

and Roberto to win by six lengths going away. A

week earlier, Dahlia had beaten the four lengths

Oaks winner Mysterious by three lengths in the

Irish Oaks.”

"She was a very good filly and on that day

she was something special," Pyers said of the

King George win.

Dahlia may have won as she liked at Ascot

that year, but before the race the following year

(which she won again), Pyers was told by Ted

Curtin - training for Bunker Hunt in Ireland -

that Lester Piggott would be riding the filly in

the King George.

Pyers recalled in the Racing Post Interview:

"Bunker Hunt told me there was no contract

between us and that Lester ‘seems to have

something on you jockeys when you're in

England, but you'll be paid the same'. So I

agreed and Lester won on her.

"My wife Becky and I always got on very

well with Lester and Susan and had many

good times together with them and the Saint-

Martins. I'm glad to hear Lester is well and

would like to pass on my best wishes to them."

Life did not prove to be so glamorous in

retirement. He remained in France, where he

was assistant to Dahlia's trainer Maurice Zilber

for a time and continued riding work.

"I had always had difficulties with my

weight and it just became too much of a battle.

Unfortunately, other things went wrong at

around the same time and I had health and

financial problems,” said Pyers who returned to

Australia in 1991.

"At one time I was a millionaire, but I came

back and my accountant went through all

the money and I lost everything," he told the

Racing Post.

STEVE MORAN

BY STEVE MORAN | @STEVEM_MORAN

If recent history is any guide, then

Western Australian galloper Gatting

faces a monumental task to repeat his

Eastern seaboard debut in the Group 1

Maybe Diva (Craiglee) Stakes win in tomorrow’s

Group 1 Underwood Stakes at Caulfield.

Not only does the son of Hard Spun have

to defy the usually huge odds against longshot

winners repeating, he’d become just the third

horse in 30 years to complete the double; 25

have tried and only Weekend Hussler (2008)

and Northerly (2002) have been successful.

Furthermore, none the past ten Craiglee

Stakes winners has managed to win another race

during the spring which is verily dumbfounding

and must cast some doubt over its Group 1 status

in a Melbourne carnival which, ridiculously, has

six Group 1 races from 1600 metres to 2040 metres

in about as many weeks.

In contrast, the Group 2 Feehan Stakes

— won this year by Homesman — has been a

much better portent of things to come through

the balance of the spring carnival.

Six of the past ten Feehan winners have

won again in the coming weeks. The exceptions

include Rekindled Interest and Whobegotyou,

who were later placed in Cox Plates, and Magic

Consol who didn’t race again that year.

Four of the past five Underwood Stakes

winners have come via the Feehan including,

of course, Homesman who won last year after

finishing second in the Moonee Valley race and

he looks a superior horse in 2019.

Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman won

the 2017 Underwood with four-year-old mare

Bonneval [who’d won the Feehan] and they

saddle another four-year-old, this time male,

in The Chosen One — who looks the principal

danger to Homesman.

The follow-up form of major race winners

is something of a fascination and generally less

impressive than you might think. Examining

the two major races at Caulfield last Saturday is

interesting.

Begood Toya Mother was a fast and

spectacular winner of the Rupert Clarke Stakes

albeit with a “fired up” Iconoclasm providing

him with some unexpected cover.

Begood Toya Mother is now expected to be

spelled. Moment Of Change, a low weighted

Rupert Clarke winner like Begood Toya Mother,

is the only victor in recent memory [certainly in

the past ten years] to have had an immediate

break and he returned to run second to Black

Caviar in the Group 1 Lightning Stakes and then

went on to win a brace of Group 1 races.

Trust In A Gust and Stratum Star are the

only Rupert Clarke winners, in the past ten

years, to score again that spring - taking the

Group 1 Toorak Handicap and Group 3 Coongy

Handicap respectively.

Similarly, last weekend’s Group 3

Naturalism Stakes has produced just two

subsequent springtime winners in the past

decade; Jameka who went on to win the Group

1 Caulfield Cup and December Draw who won

the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes before failing in

the Caulfield Cup.

It’s a case of Feehan versusCraiglee in Sunday’s Underwood

Gatting SPORTPIX

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>>

Group 1

MORNING BRIEFING

Dunn gets job doneon RenewalWayne Hawkes believes the key to Renewal’s

Listed win was Dwayne Dunn not panicking

despite being last and a long way off the leader

Zoustyle. "He had a terrible run in transit but

the biggest thing was Dwayne didn't panic,"

Hawkes said. "He just saved it to the last little

bit and he hit the line well." Zoustyle’s trainer

Tony Gollan was ruing the fact that his smart

sprinter missed the stakes win by such a narrow

margin. "It's a big learning curve for him. It's his

first trip away and this was his first time racing

the Melbourne way of going,” Gollan said. "I

think it's important if I can just keep him in his

right grade I can keep him progressing along.

We won't aim too high I don't think at this

stage. And I think if we come back this time

next year we're going to have a bona fide Group

1 horse." Morning Briefing page 12 >>

Black Heart Bart ($101) held off last

year's winner, the $2.50 favourite Homesman (War Front), to win by a

short neck.

Fellow Warrnambool-trained veteran Gailo Chop (Deporvito) ($26)

was one and a half lengths away in third.

The Blackfriars (Danehill) gelding ran eighth first-up in the Memsie

Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) behind his new stablemate Scales Of Justice (Not A

Single Doubt), before running 11th in last week’s Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes

(Gr 1, 1400m) behind Begood Toya Mother (Myboycharlie).

"Even though those two runs might have looked a bit plain, he was

warming up and I've been happy with him," jockey Brad Rawiller said.

"Today, the whole way through the run I was thinking 'geez, we're

going to be in this'."

It was Black Heart Bart’s first win since the 2017 Futurity Stakes (Gr

1, 1400m). He was retired by Weir and his owners almost 12 months ago

after finishing well back in last year’s Toorak Handicap (Gr 1, 1600m).

An emotional Rawiller, the long-time rider of Black Heart Bart, was

delighted to see the gelding return to Group 1 winning form.

It also capped Rawiller’s own comeback from a broken neck which

almost ended his career, having been kept on the sidelines for nearly six

months after being seriously injured last October.

"I've won a Golden Slipper and a Caulfield Cup and I never looked like

getting teary, and I'm nearly in tears," he said.

"It's just amazing. I can't put it into words. Since coming back from my

broken neck it's been a long road.

"At the end of the day I haven't had much to look forward to as far as

rides for the spring and Black Heart Bart was always just my sole focus.

"I've been really happy with how he has been coming along.

"Last week after the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes when I was asked about

him, I said 'he lit the fire today'. But you've still got to see it.

"I'm still overwhelmed myself, to be honest, even though I thought he

could win today."

YESTERDAY'S STAKES RACE RESULTS FROM | MOONEE VALLEY | PAGE 13

Nature Strip (Nicconi) staked his

claim for a potential shot at The

Everest (1200m) when silencing

his doubters with an impressive

victory in the AJ Moir Stakes (Gr 1, 1000m) at

The Valley last night.

The Chris Waller-trained gelding

harboured plenty of criticism after his last

start in the Concorde Stakes (Gr 3, 1000m)

when he failed to settle on the front end.

However, he showed he is a bona fide Group

1 horse with an impressive win in the $1

million sprint.

Ridden by James McDonald, Nature Strip

began well from the inside barrier and was able

to hold the inside advantage to eventually lead.

The track record holder over the course

and distance from last year's McEwen Stakes

(Gr 2, 1000m) Nature Strip kicked strongly

around the turn and was able to hold off a

gallant Miss Leonidas (I Am Invincible) by a

short neck. Continued on page 2>>

Everest-bound filly Sunlight (Zoustar)

closed strongly late to finish the same distance away in third with Ian

McEwen Stakes winner Faatinah (Nicconi) another short-head further

back in fourth.

Waller admitted after the race that the horse gets a lot of negative

attention, but this win might put a stop to the bad press.

"He's a popular horse," Waller joked. "We seem to get more criticism

with him than we ever got with

another certain horse [Winx]

who was probably our last Group

1 winner here.

"That's racing, everyone has

got their opinions. He's a good

horse and today he stepped away

well. James didn't panic he just

got there gradually and it was a

good race.

"You think punters get

frustrated, well owning a horse

and training a horse when you're

running in these types of races,

it's a bitter pill to take when you

don't quite get it right.

"So I think it's a good reward to everybody and I hope the punters had

something on as well and got a bit back from last start when apparently I

did everything wrong."

Waller hopes Nature Strip secures a spot in the $14 million Everest at

Randwick on October 19 and the gelding will now head to the Schillaci

Stakes (Gr 2, 1100m) at Caulfield on October 12 - the winner of that race

will represent the Melbourne Racing Club in the $14 million sprint a week

later.

"I don't think 1200 metres is a problem," Waller said. "I'd say we'll just

see what unfolds in the next few days. If he doesn't get an invite for The

Everest I guess the Schillaci Stakes is the logical choice."

Meanwhile, trainer Shaun Dwyer said Miss Leonidas ran a great race

while Sunlight's co-trainer Tony McEvoy could not hide his delight over

the mare's performance.

McEvoy said he would run Sunlight the Gilgai Stakes at Flemington,

two weeks before The Everest at Randwick.

"I'm pumped," McEvoy said. "I feel like I've won the race.

"The risk was the 1000 meters tonight and that's all that cost her the

race."

Passed in for $90,000 (reserve $120,000) at the 2016 Inglis Melbourne

Premier Yearling Sale, Nature Strip (5 g Nicconi - Strikeline by Desert Sun)

took his record to 11 wins and two placings from 18 starts for prize-money

of $1,879,285.
