A slow few weeks over winter with a lot of our spring horses returning to the stable after a break and the young ones continuing to have interval education. Very chilly mornings at present but worth it to have the sunny days. Three runners this Saturday :

HASTINGS RACES
RACE 1 - 11.55am
HONEY BADGER : Drawn well in gate 3 with in form apprentice Lily Sutherland on board. She had had a promising start with a 1st & 2nd at the trials so lets hope she can show her ability in her debut start at hastings.

TE RAPA RACES
RACE 8 - 3.12pm
AGERA : Looks in great condition for his fresh up start and forward enough after a pleasing trial at Cambridge recently. He has handled the heavier going, and with the sun shining the past few days it should be a forgiving winter track. He will only improve with the race day start under his belt.

FLEMINGTON - MELBOURNE
RACE 6 - 4.55pm NZ
ELIUD : Forget his last run where he was held up badly down the straight. His work has been impressive throughout the week and he looks in great order. Drawn nicely in gate 5 with Blake Shinn remaining in the saddle.

FLEMINGTON - MELBOURNE RACES

Quieter on the racing front in NZ with the weekend off but Eliud takes his place in Race 8 at Flemington Today.

RACE 8 - 6pm NZ
ELIUD : An impressive performer here in NZ who has won his past two starts by decent margins. He has traveled over in great order and settled in well. Unfortunately drawn the visitors gate in 14, but has the advantage of Blake Shinn in the saddle who galloped him during the week.

COUNTIES RACES - A fine but chilly day where we have 4 runners heading up.
🧤🧣🐎🌤🧤🧣🐎🌤

RACE 3 - 12.34pm
REVUELTO : - 2nd 👌🏼👌🏼Improving with each race day experience as still races quiet green. He does show ability in his trackwork and once the penny drops he looks to be a competitive horse going forward. Sam Weatherley stays on board.

RACE 4 - 1/07pm
DELZ ABEEL : -3rd 👍 Second up after an encouraging debut start. Obviously the biggest concern is the heavy track conditions with the recent rain but the wide gate 11 should be the advantage.

RACE 6 - 2.17pm
POETIC JUSTICE - 7th : Steps up to the 1600mts for the first time this preparation in what looks to be an ideal race for him. He has handled the rain affected tracks previously and the wide gate 10 draw should be of benefit by this time of the day.

RACE 7 - 2.54pm
MALDINI : - 1st 🥰🥰Heads back to Counties in what looks to be a competitive field with a number of in form runners. His track work has been pleasing and if he handles the prevailing track conditions he should prove to be competitive once again. In form Lily Sutherland takes the ride.

CAMBRIDGE RACES
Rug up and head down to the Cambridge Jockey Club for some afternoon entertainment. Just the one runner for the team today.

RACE 2 - 12.34pm
PAX MUNDI : - 1st 👏👏👏Steps up in trip for the rating 65 Pearl Series race. Once again a number of in form runners and she has drawn gate 8 which is a slight disadvantage. Depending how well she clears the gates, much will be left up to jockey Sam Weatherley to assess. She has trained on well since her last start and is a genuine each way chance.

KINGS BIRTHDAY RACING AT TE AROHA

An early start to the meeting with the maiden hurdle at 10.42am. A fun day with four jumps races on the card. We have two runners in race 6.

RACE 6 - 1.36pm
HE'S SO FINE : Working better than his form suggests and hoping for a much improved performance. Blinkers have been applied as he jumps from gate 8 with Wiremu Pinn on board.

POETIC JUSTICE : He will benefit from the big roomy track as he steps up to the 1400mts. He should get an ideal trip from gate 1 if the track holds up on the inside throughout the day. Michael McNab takes the ride.

Trying to entice some young folk into the game 🥰

The equestrian programme students were very privileged to spend the day with Kirsten from Pike Racing, getting a tour of their lovely facilities and a trip to the races! Kirsten did a fabulous job of educating students on the ins and outs of racing and organising to speak with some other industry experts. We got some fantastic behind-the-scenes opportunities!

Thank you so much Kirsten, everyone had a blast 🤩

Sometimes you put it out in the universe 🌌and all of a sudden, the universe delivers! Well, in this case it's actually Pike Racing and Canter for Cancer with some amazing generosity. We've had some awful weather🌡️ and poor wee Pepsi has an injured eye. Not a pleasant combination but wait, look, she does have a very fancy new combination rug.❤️ Tremendous thanks to the amazing Pike Racing and Canter for Cancer for their generosity with the donation of a lovely bundle of brand new, weatherproof covers. The horses thank you and Pepsi most of all!!! 🥰🥰
