TRANSCRIPT
Joe O’Neill and trainer Patrick Payne have
resisted the temptation to run in-form
filly Rubisaki (Rubick) in the All Aged
Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) and instead the
brilliant three-year-old will attempt to stretch
her winning streak to six in the J H B Carr Stakes
(Gr 3, 1400m).
Rubisaki, already the winner of seven races
and more than $1 million in prize-money, will
return to Randwick on Saturday to round out her
season in the $140,000 fillies event a fortnight
after claiming the P J Bell Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m).
Prime Thoroughbreds’ O’Neill reasoned that
Rubisaki was still developing and was better off
being protected by continuing to race against her
own age while she still can. Continued on page 2>>

One final autumn fling against the fillies for flying Rubick three-year-oldAll Aged Stakes ruled out for Prime Thoroughbreds’ in-form million dollar earner Rubisaki
MORNING BRIEFING
Soul Patch to stand at Rangal Park StudGroup 2 winner and twice Group 1-placed colt
Soul Patch (Shamus Award), whose career
was curtailed by a tendon injury, will stand at
Victoria’s Rangal Park Stud this year. The Ken
Keys-trained rising four-year-old, who won
the Moonee Valley Vase (Gr 2, 2040m) last
spring, was retired from racing after his third in
the Australian Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) behind
Alligator Blood (All Too Hard) and Superstorm
(Sebring) in February. “What would he have
done if he was injury free?” Rangal Park Stud’s
Eric Buttler said. “With Snitzel on his top line
and Flying Spur on his female side (dam God
Bless Us), there is plenty of speed there, although
Soul Patch got over a bit of ground, you would
think breeding speed to him would really be
right up his alley.” Soul Patch will stand for an
introductory service fee of $8800 (inc GST) in
2020 at the Euroa stud, while lifetime breeding
rights are also being offered in the son of Shamus
Award (Snitzel). Morning Briefing page 4 >>

“She wouldn’t have been out of place
in the All Aged - she’s about fifth in the early markets I think - but she is
not ready for that. If it had come up with six runners, then we might have
had a throw at the stumps,” O’Neill told ANZ Bloodstock News yesterday.
“(The J H B Carr Stakes) is another Group 3 and it will be her last race
for the season. She will go to Yarraman Park for a spell where she will have
six weeks off and then be prepared for the Golden Eagle in the spring.”
The long-time syndicator believes the best is still ahead of Rubisaki
and he called on his past experience of managing talented fillies and mares
including three-time Listed winner Unchain My Heart (Al Maher), Belle
Of The Turf Stakes (Listed, 1600m) winner Hidden Wonder (Danzero),
Calming (Zeditave), Unabated (Encosta De Lago) and Savoureux
(Nadeem) who took out the 2016 Wenona Girl Handicap (Gr 3, 1200m).
“I am a great believer in letting three-year-old fillies running against
their own sex if they can and work their way through the grades and then
you’ve got them as four and five-year-olds when there’s so many good
races for them,” he said.
“I think we have looked after her very well. In 12 months’ time she will
be a powerhouse and we are starting to see that development now that
wasn’t there before.
“She is an amazing athlete and when I bought her she was very light
on her feet. She’s got that when she
races. Every start this preparation
at some stage she’s been in trouble
and then, bang, she gets out of it in
a couple of strides.
“She goes sideways and it’s
like watching a great rugby league
centre, she just accelerates off that
foot.”
Nash Rawiller will retain the
ride on Rubisaki, who is being
stabled at Goulburn where she
was based in the week leading up
to the postponed $1 million Inglis
Sprint (1200m) at Warwick Farm
in February.
“She’s staying at John Bateman’s at Goulburn in Guy Walter’s old
stables. Patrick is talking to John daily and he is sending videos through of
how she looks and he is very happy with her,” he said.
“She will probably have a gallop (this) morning I would think,
but the mail we’re getting back is that she is eating everything up
and looks amazing. I couldn’t believe it when I saw a video of her
the other day.”
O’Neill bought Rubisaki, a half-sister to Prime Thoroughbreds’ Payne-
trained Zizzis (Sizzling), for $85,000 at the 2018 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale
from Edinburgh Park’s Ian Smith in a well-told “sting” in which he did not
show any public interest in the then yearling at Riverside Stables so he did
not give away the ability of the then unraced Zizzis.
Now a rising five-year-old, Zizzis is back in work with Payne at his
Plumpton complex near Melbourne after a Tasmanian raid had to be
aborted earlier this year after being cast in her box.
O’Neill also purchased the latest yearling out of Senro Kisaki (Danehill
Dancer), a brother to Zizzis (Sizzling), for $100,000 from Edinburgh Park
at this year’s Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and will join the
same stable as his older siblings.
“He is a really nice horse and he’s a beautiful animal. He is different to
Zizzis - he has a bit more scope where she was short coupled, strong type
of horse,” he said,
O’Neill also owns the pair’s older sister Husson’s Kiss (Husson),
having purchased her out of a paddock from Patinack Farm as a weanling,
and he retained her as a broodmare when her racing career was cut short
after fracturing a pelvis.
Her first foal by Wordsmith (Testa Rossa) made $40,000 at the recent
Magic Millions Tasmanian Yearling Sale, with O’Neill buying out his
partner in the horse.
“The breaker rang me and told me that he was one of the most athletic
horses that I have ever touched,” he said.
“He is a really nice colt. Husson’s Kiss is in foal to Sizzling and she will
likely go to Rubick this year. It would probably be silly not to if I could get
a three-quarter to Rubisaki.”
Senro Kisaki, meanwhile, has a weanling filly by So You Think
(High Chaparral) and was covered last December by Rubick (Encosta
De Lago).

Spill The Beans colt tops online Capricornia Yearling Sale
Bidding on the Capricornia Yearling sale, which
took place via bloodstockauction.com, drew to
a close on Tuesday, with top lot honours going
to Lot 26, a colt by Spill The Beans (Snitzel) for
$48,950. Attracting 74 bids, the colt is the second
foal out of the winning Luna Azzura (Magnus),
and hails from the family of Group 1 winners
Victory Vein (Mr Henrysee) and Shadow Hero
(Pierro). He was closely followed by Lot 76,
a Better Than Ready (More Than Ready) filly
out of the six-time winner Bam’s Princess (Red
Dazzler), who sold for $41,500.
Champagne test for Not An OptionNew Zealand-trained juvenile Not An Option
(Not A Single Doubt) will be tested in Saturday’s
ATC Champagne Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) with the
view of sending him to Brisbane for the revised
winter carnival. Not An Option, who is prepared
by Tony Pike, ran third in the Kindergarten
Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) at his most recent start,
and will make the big step up in distance for
the first time. “We were really pleased with his
run in the Kindergarten,” Pike said. “Over the
1100m, from the outside gate and to go back to
last, it was always going to be a bit sharp for him.
He was very strong over the final stages. Reports
are really good and he has bounced through it in
great order. He galloped on the course proper at
Rosehill this (Tuesday) morning with an older
country cups horse and worked really well over
1200 metres.” Pike earmarked the revamped
J J Atkins Plate (Gr 1, 1400m) in Brisbane as a
target during the winter.
Blinkers on BrandenburgDual Group 1-placed colt Brandenburg
(Burgundy) will race in blinkers for the first
time in the All Aged Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) at
Randwick. After Brandenburg worked in blinkers
over 1000 metres yesterday at Randwick, trainer
John Sargent confirmed it was all systems go for
Saturday's race for what will be the colt's final
start this preparation, which includes a last-start
third in the Doncaster Mile (Gr 1, 1600m). "He
doesn't get in as well at the weights as he did in
the Doncaster but he's a good three-year-old,"
Sargent said. "He won the Hobartville over the
distance. He galloped well today. He'll go to the
beach tomorrow and have an easy week and he'll
be ready. I was just going to wait for (yesterday) for
his main gallop and he galloped well."
Hallmark possible for GraffA Group 1 in Queensland is on the cards for
stallion prospect Graff (Star Witness), who is
expected to return to racing in the next fortnight.
He will be an acceptor for the Hall Mark Stakes
(Gr 3, 1200m) on Saturday but trainer Kris Lees
is mulling over whether to run his galloper
at Randwick or wait for the rescheduled
Hawkesbury meeting at Rosehill. If waiting for
the latter, the colt would run in the Hawkesbury
Gold Rush (Listed, 1100m). Both options would
be a stepping stone to target the Stradbroke
Handicap (Gr 1, 1400m) at Eagle Farm. Since
his last start, Graff has been acquired by Aquis
in partnership with Australian Bloodstock.
Newnham heads south for ShowdownThe significant prize-money on offer in The
Showdown (1200m) at Caulfield is the incentive
for Sydney trainer Mark Newnham to send lightly
raced colt Write On (Written Tycoon) south for
the race. The sprint for two year-olds has a purse
of $855,000 with first prize-money of $450,000
and is restricted to the progeny of VOBIS Sires
stallions. The Showdown, to be run for the
second year on Saturday, is the richest race on the
Victorian Owners and Breeders Race Day. Write
On finished third in a 1000-metre maiden against
his own age at Kembla Grange on debut last week
and is among 24 nominations for The Showdown.
"He'll travel down on Wednesday night and he'll
stay with Nick Ryan at Caulfield," Newnham said.
"Under the new protocols, Nick will look after him
for a couple of days. I've stayed with Nick a couple
of times already. Quite often these types of races
drop away at the end of carnivals like this. It's not
a bad little grand final for him. I had it in mind for
a while."

Perth WFA targets for Humidor
Dual Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) placegetter
Humidor (Teofilo) will head a trio of Group
One winners that his trainer Lindsey Smith
plans to race in Perth this winter. The original
plan for the trio was to race in Queensland
but the COVID-19 pandemic has vastly
reduced the state’s racing program. “Perth
might have the best racing in Australia over
winter,” Smith told Racing.com on Tuesday.
“I had Black Heart Bart (Blackfriars) going for
those weight-for-age races and he came back
especially for these races and these other
horses have now joined him, so I hope they
win one each.” Smith said Black Heart Bart’s
travelling days will come to an end, as the
rising ten-year-old is likely to enter his final
racing campaign. “He’ll finish racing here,”
Smith told Racing.com from Perth. “He won’t
be back. But I think he’s got another win in
him.”
Boss cold on Colette’s cup chancesGlen Boss has issued a warning to punters keen
to side with Australian Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m)
winner Colette (Hallowed Crown) in the
Caulfield Cup (Gr 1, 2400m) futures market.
Boss, who rode the filly to victory in the Oaks,
is doubtful over the filly’s ability to take the
necessary jump: “This happens every year
and 99 per cent of the time it doesn’t come
off. So you’ve got to be a very, very good, and
I’m talking almost champion three-year-old
filly to take that next step to a Caulfield Cup,”
Boss told RSN927. It's such a massive jump.
I can’t tell people how much of a leap it is for
the three-year-old fillies. They’ve been racing
against their own age and they get into these
oaks where more than likely two thirds of the
field won’t stay the trip.” Colette is rated a $21
chance for the race.
Hickmott pair on comeback trailCaulfield trainer Rob Hickmott is planning a
return for his star duo Schabau (Pastorius) and
Django Freeman (Campanologist). Restrictions
from COVID-19 have made planning for the
pair difficult but the trainer is confident they
will return racing soon. Schabaul, who has
been sidelined since a small lesion was found
in his right fore tendon, is likely to be aimed
at Flemington. Django Freeman, who needed
surgery for a chip in his knee, could head for the
Adelaide Carnival. “Him and Django Freeman
have been hamstrung with the away gallops.
We would have been at Sandown galloping out
there, Bendigo maybe as well,” Hickmott told
Racing.com. “Those places are shut up and it’s
stinted their preparations a touch. We don’t
want to take any risks with them on inferior
ground, so we will just wait for those course
propers at Caulfield and get that work into
them.”
Blinkers on CostelloTrainer David Payne has opted for blinkers
on his galloper Costello (Americain) at
Randwick on Wednesday despite the gelding’s
consistency, placing four times in as many
starts. Payne is hoping to go one step further on
his next start in the Press Statement @ Vinery
Handicap (1800m). “I always do it as a last
resort,” he told Racing NSW. “We tried him the
other day and he seemed a much better horse
with them on. On his best form he should win
a race like this.” Costello was the $2.90 favourite
on Tuesday with TAB and is looking to post his
first win since February last year.
Melbourne goal for promising ThrasherWell-bred filly Thrasher (Not A Single Doubt)
could take up a place at Melbourne this spring
if she breaks her maiden tag at the Sunshine
Coast today. Trained by Chris Munce, who
holds her in high regard, Thrasher runs in
the QTIS Two-Year-Old Maiden Handicap
(1400m). Sold for $430,000 at the Magic
Millions sales at the Gold Coast in January of
last year. She is a granddaughter of Merlene,
who won both the Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr
1, 1200m) and ATC Sires Produce Stakes (Gr
1, 1400m) in just six starts. Thrasher’s third
dam, Bold Promise, won the Magic Millions
Classic (Restricted Listed, 1200m) twice when
it was run in two divisions. Munce believes
Thrasher has a bright future and hopes to
head to Brisbane for their winter feature races
before a program geared towards the Victoria
Oaks in Melbourne in spring.
Chenier sold to Hong KongThree-year-old Chenier (Medaglia D’Oro) has
been sold to race in Hong Kong, in a reported
seven figure deal. The former Godolphin
galloper was purchased by clients of leading
Hong Kong trainer Caspar Fownes. The horse
passed the vet and the deal was completed on
Tuesday. The deal was brokered by agent Wade
Burridge. Godolphin’s Australian manager
Vin Cox told Racing.com: “We operate in a
commercial environment and when you get
a good offer for a horse, you have to evaluate
where you sit on the horse and what the future
may be. He is a horse with a lot of potential and
it wasn’t an easy decision.” Chenier has been
gelded since his ninth-place run in the Rosehill
Guineas (Gr 1, 2000m) last month. “He will be
targeted at the four-year-old series over there.
Hopefully he is good enough to measure up,”
Burridge said.
Belmont Guineas possible for Karijini AuroraYoung trainer Summer Dickson is hoping her
exciting filly Karijini Aurora (Trade Fair) can
put her on the big stage in the next few months.
After finishing fourth on debut , the filly won
her next three starts. Her latest win came in the
Tabtouch Ladies Bracelet at Albany on Sunday,
winning by just under a length. “She has proven
to be a good horse and has come a long way,”
Dickson told The Races WA. “This is only her
first preparation, she came to me straight from
the breakers. When I jumped her out I knew she
was going to be a little special. I will probably
aim her at one metro 1600m event or a 3YO
race, if she handles that well we will continue
stepping up the grades.”

VJA floats jump out planThe Victorian Jockeys’ Association (VJA) is
set to plan with Racing Victoria to allow self-
quarantining jockeys to be allowed to ride
in one set of jumpouts a week. The jockeys,
known as the green team, volunteered to put
themselves in self isolation and forgo all riding
outside raceday as part of Racing Victoria’s
COVID-19 protocols.“We will probably have
some discussions with Racing Victoria over
the next couple of days to see what we can do.
Maybe introduce a set of jumpouts that those
guys can participate in,” Matt Hyland told
Racing.com. “It’s been fairly difficult for them.
Their fitness, their normal routine has been
compromised.”
Interstate doubt over Queensland carnivalDoubt remains over whether Queensland’s
revised winter carnival will allow for
interstate participation with authorities
set to confirm details in the coming days.
Racing Queensland’s Chief Executive
Brendan Parnell told RSN 927’s Racing Pulse
on Tuesday: “At the moment there are new
border restrictions announced over the
weekend so we are working through new
state government guidelines and as far as
whether they (interstate horses) can travel
or not will be established over the coming
days. "It would appear on first read that it is
for essential or exempt travel and whether
livestock is classified in that or not, and once
that is confirmed we’ll let southern trainers
know.” On March 26, Racing Queensland (RQ)
announced the COVID-19 pandemic had
forced it to cancel the winter racing carnival,
however on April 10, RQ stated there would
be 15 Group races staged across the six-week
carnival period with reduced prize-money.
Alligator Blood B sample confirmed
A second sample has confirmed the prohibited
substance altrenogest in the swab taken from
Alligator Blood (All Too Hard) after he won the
Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (RL, 1400m) at the
Gold Coast. Trainer David Vandyke will now
face a stewards' inquiry at a date to be set. If he
is found guilty of presenting horse to race with
a prohibited substance it is likely he would face
a fine but Alligator Blood would be disqualified
from first place in the January 11 race and
the $1.1 million first prize would be forfeited.
Alligator Blood has since won two races in
Melbourne including the Australian Guineas.
The swabs from those races have been cleared
and prize-money has been paid. "This presents
a challenging time. Since moving to Queensland
in May 2016 this is the first irregularity that I
have had in this state," Vandyke said. "It is my
hope that the inquiry will shed light on how
altrenogest entered Alligator Blood's system
and help prevent any similar incident occurring
in racing again."
Endresz engages legal team in Alligator defenceAllan Endresz, owner of Alligator Blood, and his
legal team claim to have found a contradiction
within the wording of rules which he thinks
would give grounds for his star performer to
avoid disqualification from the Magic Millions
3YO Guineas (RL, 1400m). “We’ve had a good
look at it and we’re challenging that rule
(AR240),” Endresz told Racing.com. “On the face
of it (the rule), it would suggest an automatic
disqualification. Now the way in which the
rules have been drafted, there may or may not
be a perceived loophole or incompetence in the
way it was drafted. In simple terms, if one goes
and says the horse is automatically disqualified
well then that rule (AR240) is retrospectively
having an impact on AR214 that simply says
the judge’s decisions are final.” He continued,
“We’ve lost enormously as a result of this, not
just the money but the reputation of the horse
and contracts with the TAB for The Everest.”
Thoroughbred Breeders conducting COVID-19 surveyA survey about the impact of coronavirus on
breeders is being conducted by Thoroughbred
Breeders Australia (TBA). The online survey,
to gain insight into the issues that have
been placed on breeders since the spread of
COVID-19 to Australia in recent months, is
available here.

Allen and Brown heading to AdelaideVictorian jockeys John Allen and Ethan Brown
will head to South Australia to complete 14 days
of self-isolation in order to ride at the Adelaide
carnival. Brown, 21, has been booked to ride
Sierra Sue in the South Australian Oaks (Gr 1,
2000m) as well as Snogging (I Am Invincible)
and I Am Eloquent (I Am Invincible) in other
stakes races. Irishman Allen will complete
isolation with Brown while fellow Victorian
rider Damien Thornton will also undergo the
lockdown to take rides in Adelaide. Apprentice
Georgina Cartwright travelled to Adelaide
recently and will be free to ride at Morphettville
from Saturday.
McEvoy suspended at Warwick FarmKerrin McEvoy is set to miss the Hawkesbury
Guineas meeting at Rosehill after being
suspended at Warwick Farm. McEvoy pleaded
guilty to a charge of failing to ride Godolphin-
owned Duenna (Sepoy) out to the end of the
Monday's Hyland Race Colours Plate (1300m),
with the filly finishing in a dead-heat for second
with Stolen Jade (So You Think). McEvoy was
suspended for a week from Sunday, a day after
Group 1 racing ends for the season in Sydney.
James McDonald was fined $1500 at Monday's
meeting for using the whip unnecessarily inside
the final 100 metres of the Darley Stallions
Handicap (1400m) on Adana (Snitzel) who
finished seventh. Adam Hyeronimus was fined
$500 for entering a jockeys' room other than the
one he had been allocated.
Stockdale bannedThomas Stockdale’s rise through Melbourne
Jockeys’ Premiership continued on Easter
Monday, and won’t be affected by the careless
riding suspension incurred at the Sandown
Lakeside meeting. Stockdale pleaded guilty on
his winning ride aboard Jack Regan, edging
out when insufficiently clear. The jockey was
handed an eight meeting suspension - with his
penalty to commence after Saturday’s Caulfield
meeting. He will return in time for the following
Saturday at Flemington, with no Melbourne
metropolitan racing between those fixtures.
Stockdale has ridden 18 winners in Melbourne
this season, placing him third in the Melbourne
apprentice title.
Gone Bye set for G3 Frank Packer PlateTrainer Mark Newnham has had the Frank
Packer Plate (Gr 3, 2000m) in mind for his
galloper Gone Bye (Al Maher) for some time,
but wasn’t expecting the gelding to be taking on
a Group 1 winner. Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2400)
winner Quick Thinker (So You Think) will be
chasing his third consecutive win by contesting
in the Saturday’s Group 3. “That was a surprise
to see him there,” Newnham said. “I would
say if we get another wet track we probably
can’t beat him but as the track dries out it
probably gives everyone else a better chance.”
Gone Bye has won three of his five starts,
winning a 1600-metre race at Warwick Farm
last Wednesday. His original plans had been
changed due to abandonments. “He’s managed
to beat older horses in his last two wins and he
will appreciate going up to 2000 metres,” said
Newnham. “It’s a fair jump in grade but I think
he’s quite a capable horse.”
VOBIS Sires Guineas attracts 29 entriesGroup 2 winner and VRC Oaks placegetter
Moonlight Maid (Puissance de Lune) heads
the nominations for The VOBIS Sires Guineas
(1600m) at Caulfield on Saturday. The $427,500
race is for three-year-old progeny of Victorian
stallions. Moonlight Maid, the highest-rated in
the field, won the Edward Manifold Stakes (Gr
2, 1600m) at Flemington in the spring before
finishing runner-up in the Two Vase (Gr 2, 2040m)
and third in the VRC Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m).
Show Some Decorum impresses for FreedmanThe Anthony Freedman-trained Show Some
Decorum (Starspangledbanner) ran out an
impressive winner on debut in the first race at Sale.
The $31,500 2-y-o Maiden Plate (1006m) attracted
seven runners and the colt beat the Ciaron Maher
& David Eustace-trained Marchena (Deep Field)
by two and a half lengths. Out of the Irish-trained
No Love Letters (Roderic O’Connor), the colt was
a $40,000 purchase at the 2019 Adelaide Yearling
Sale to Anthony Freedman/Blue Sky Bloodstock.
Eagle Farm put on holdEagle Farm racecourse will have a slightly
extended hiatus with pressure to reopen it
sooner easing. Racing Queensland, which is
in charge of the Eagle Farm renovations, had
always planned to rest the track for up to six
weeks but that will now be eight weeks. The
track has not hosted a meeting since March 25
and the next one is planned for May 23. Eagle
Farm's course chopped up during the seven
meetings it had during February and March
and it was partly put down to a grub infestation
which has been addressed in recent weeks.
Paine sidelinedGai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott’s well-known
stable representative Neil Paine has been
banned from race meetings for a month after
contravening coronavirus protocols after the
stable’s Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m)
victory by Farnan (Not A SIngle Doubt). Paine ran
across the mounting yard to jubilantly embrace
Bott after the colt’s win on March 21. Paine
admitted to momentarily forgetting about the
restrictions after the race. Paine is still allowed to
attend trackwork while he serves his ban.

INTERNATIONAL
Pale King sold to Australian interestsImpressive British debut winner Pale King
(Dabirsim) has been sold to continue his career in
Australia. Trained by David Simcock, the colt has
been acquired by Rupert Legh and will be trained
by John, Michael and Wayne Hawkes. He won his
novice stakes (1m4f) on debut at Lingfield, less
than a week before the closure of British racing
due to the global pandemic. He was given an ultra
confident ride by Jamie Spencer, who loomed up
to the leader on the bridle amidst glances over his
shoulder, to draw clear impressively. “I’ve never
seen a more arrogant ride in my whole life,” Legh
told Racing.com.
Saudi Cup prize-money withheldThe Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia is withholding
Maximum Security's (New Year’s Day) winning
prize money for the US$20 million Saudi Cup
(1800m), after trainer Jason Servis was indicted on
federal charges in the United States. The trainer is
one of 27 people indicted by the District Attorney
for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan
as part of an investigation into alleged doping of
horses. Servis sent out Maximum Security, who
is now trained by Bob Baffert, to win the world's
richest race in Riyadh in February, but prize money
for the 1800-metre will not be paid until the JCSA has
finished its inquiries. "JCSA is conducting its own
investigation in respect of the allegations and until
that investigation is concluded, JCSA will withhold
payment of prize money due to all connections
of horses placed in prize-winning positions in the
Saudi Cup," a JCSA statement said. "This decision
has been communicated privately to connections
of Saudi Cup runners. Due to difficult operational
circumstances caused by the Covid-19 global
pandemic, the investigation has not yet concluded."
Ward eyeing Royal Ascot once againUS trainer Wesley Ward is still eager to make
his transatlantic trip to Royal Ascot, even with
the event being held behind closed doors. "We
wouldn't miss it for anything," he said. "If they
have it, we're going to be there provided they
let us come over. We're working on plans but
it's too early to know what will happen exactly."
Should his runners be given the green light to
compete, the man who prepared Lady Aurelia
(Scat Daddy) to land the 2017 King's Stand
Stakes looks set to launch an ambitious bid to
recapture the same prize with 2019 Breeders'
Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint hero Four Wheel
Drive (American Pharoah). The three-year-old,
who would receive a handy 6lb weight-for-age
allowance against his elders, has been pleasing
his trainer. Kimari (Munnings), who was
narrowly defeated in last season's Queen Mary
Stakes by Raffle Prize, recorded an unlikely
victory on a testing surface earlier this month at
Oaklawn Park in the Listed Purple Martin Stakes
and is also part of Ward's Ascot plans. "She's our
other older horse that we're pointing there,"
he said. "She showed a different dimension in
coming from behind in the slop like that. She's
got a big heart and we'll be pointing her at the
Commonwealth Cup."
South Africa eyes 1 May resumptionRacing authorities in South Africa are planning
for a resumption of racing behind closed doors
on May 1, subject to the national lockdown being
lifted by then. The South African government
extended the Covid-19 lockdown until the end
of April and, after numerous meetings between
the Racing Operators, the Racing Association
and The National Horseracing Authority
over the Easter weekend, the target of a May
resumption was announced. The National
Horseracing Authority said in a recent Press
Release: "Given that we will have effectively
lost five weeks of racing, the Racing Operators
have agreed to push the National Feature Race
Programme back around a month, which will
mean that the Vodacom Durban July (Gr 1,
2200m) will take place on the last Saturday in
July [with the Gold Cup meeting pushed out to
the end of August]. This will allow the Highveld
to move a slightly revamped Champions Day
[featuring the Champions Challenge (Gr 1,
2000m) and six other major races] to the last
Saturday in May and stage the Horse Chestnut
Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m)], SA Derby (Gr 1, 2450m)]
and SA Oaks (Gr 2, 2450m) on Saturday 2 May.”Maximum Security (pink cap) RACING POST

Black Caviar, Crisp and Rising Fast ANZ
STEVE MORAN
| 9 |
BY STEVE MORAN | @ANZ_NEWS
Mainstream and social media
is awash right now with “best
of” lists from past players
from a multitude of codes,
from journalists and from punters near and far.
This is no surprise as housebound fans seek to
be amused.
So why not get in on the act, I thought? Just for
fun…and perhaps for the feedback which I’m sure
will be rife once we tweet the link to this.
Thus, I’ve produced my ever so slightly left
field list of the top five horses to have competed
in Australia in the post War era.
Freakish talent or a freakish performance
was the key criterion above all else and I’ve
made my best guess as to the likelihood that the
horse would have excelled, despite the obvious
and inherent subjectivity, in any era. Raw talent
rather than times or margins or longevity or
even winning streaks.
I am comfortable in declaring Black Caviar
the best Australian horse of the era.
1. BLACK CAVIARThere has, by logical definition, never been
a better performed horse (anywhere, let alone
Australia) than Black Caviar. Unbeaten in 25
starts, all at a legitimate level of competition
with all but her debut being in stakes races and
the final 22 at either Group 1 or Group 2 level.
I have never seen another horse with her
freakish stride which, again by definition,
had her make ground quicker than any other
horse I’ve seen and she did it - seemingly -
effortlessly.

Black Caviar the greatest of them all - but Crisp or Rising Fast the most underrated?
| 10 |
The references to
the strength of her
form are boundless,
chiefly through Hay
List and Buffering.
Who could forget the
Gr 1 T.J. Smith Stakes of
2011 when she gave Hay List four lengths start
at the 300 metres and won by almost three
lengths?
Glyn Schofield, who rode Hay List, swears
the runner-up wasn’t slowing down - she just
went faster. Hay List, next start a fortnight later,
won the Gr 1 All-Aged Stakes by 3.3 lengths.
Black Caviar thrashed Hay List and
Buffering in the 2012 Gr 1 Lightning Stakes
and, in her absence three weeks later, they
quinellaed the Gr 1 Newmarket Handicap -
with a space to third.
Black Caviar went to Royal Ascot, wasn’t at
her physical best and yet still beat Moonlight
Cloud, who then won five Group 1 races
including her next start (a Group 1) by five
lengths.
2. CRISPIt is, of course, well known that he conceded
23 pounds (almost 11 kilograms) to Red Rum
(who would prove to be the greatest Grand
National performer of all time, and the only
horse to win three) when tragically beaten in the
1973 National at Aintree - a sporting calamity
only rivalled by Jean van de Velde’s final hole
capitulation in the 1999 Open Championship.
Crisp was largely responsible for setting a
twenty seconds track record bettering pace. The
Guardian, at the time, reported that: “although
the prize had gone to Red Rum, the glory had
gone to Crisp”.
Similarly well known is that jockey Richard
Pitman has conceded that he made a mistake
by drawing the whip on Crisp. “He jumped the
second-last out of instinct, and went to the last,
and now I can hear Red Rum coming. It was
then that I made a mistake that will haunt me
for the rest of my life.
“I thought, ‘I’ve got to wake the old boy up,
get him out of his reverie.’ And I made a mistake
that a boy starting out shouldn’t make, let alone
a senior jockey. I picked the stick up in my right
hand to give him a whack, but I had to go right-
handed to get round the Elbow (the cross over
on to the finishing straight). The instant I lifted
my hand, he fell away left-handed. So, I quickly
put the stick down, gathered the reins, and
pulled him back.
“But I had to change his stride pattern,
and he lost momentum,” Pitman has said
previously.
Less known is that trainer Fred Winter said,
immediately after the race, that he believed
Crisp would have won had there been one more
fence to negotiate. The Sun quoted Winter: “If
there had been another fence in the straight he
would not have lost his concentration and I'm
sure he would have won.”
Crisp won the Hiskens Steeplechase,
then the Cox Plate of jumping, by 20 lengths
and 12 lengths respectively in 1969 and 1970.
He won by a street on debut in the UK, won
the equivalent of a Queen Mother Chase at
Cheltenham and trounced Red Rum when they
met at level weights.
3. RISING FASTHe won the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate
and Melbourne Cup treble in 1954. Plus the
Turnbull, Caulfield Stakes, Mackinnon
Stakes and the Fisher Plate
Then almost completed
the famous Cups double
again in 1955. He carried
63.5 kg in the Melbourne
Cup and ran second to
Toporoa who had just
48 kg. No protest was
lodged but the winning rider
Neville Sellwood was later suspended
for two months for interfering with the
run of Rising Fast.
4. VAINThe striking chestnut son of Wilkes won 12 of
his 14 starts, finishing as runner up on the other
two.. Set aside, for a moment, his remarkable
two-year-old season which included a 4 length
victory in the Golden Slipper Stakes and an
astonishing ten length win in the Champagne
Stakes.
Go straight to his three-year-old year. He
won the Caulfield Guineas by three lengths
and his only defeat, in the Moonee Valley
(Stutt) Stakes, was behind Daryl’s Joy who
then won the Cox Plate and the Victoria
Derby. Then, during Cup week, he won the
Craven 'A' Stakes by 12 lengths; the VRC
Linlithgow Stakes by six lengths and the
George Adams Handicap carrying 4.5 kg
above weight-for-age.
His jockey Pat Hyland, in 2010, said: ''I
have no doubt that up to 1600 metres we
haven't seen one better than Vain. Black
Caviar has an unblemished record and it
speaks for itself but making comparisons is
difficult but I still think he is the very best we
have had in Australia.”
5. WINXI’m not sure she competed through a
golden era of weight-for-age racing but it
would be churlish, and controversial just for
the sake of being controversial, to exclude
her given 33 straight wins including 25 at
Gr 1 level. She was resolute, dominant and
unyielding but - for me - not quite as freakish
as Black Caviar.

LEE MOTTERSHEAD | RACING POST
Magnificent in life, mysterious
in death, immortal forever.
Phar Lap (Night Raid) may
very well be the finest horse
who ever graced an Australian racecourse.
What is beyond doubt is his story is the most
incredible.
At a time when a hero was needed, one
emerged in the guise of the powerful galloper
who became revered by the people of a country
ravaged by the depression.
He was an athlete who inspired adoration
and affection from men and women whose
lives contained little other reason to feel hope
or joy. He was the winner of 37 races, a rags-
to-riches treasured public figure who made
Australia proud, never more so than when
shipped to Tijuana, Mexico, to defeat America's
finest thoroughbreds. Sixteen days later he was
dead.
It is a mark of Phar Lap's enduring fame
that his mounted hide has been the most
popular attraction in Melbourne Museum
since it was first exhibited in January 1933.
Everyone in Australia and New Zealand – the
land of his birth – knows of the horse whose
6.35kg heart was one and a half times bigger
than average. In droves they still come to see
him. They marvel at what they witness and
leave with the same
question people
have asked for 88
years – what killed
Phar Lap?
First one must
understand the
reason they care in
the first place – Phar
Lap kept finishing in
first place.
As a yearling
he cost just 160
yearlings in 1928,
bought by small-
time trainer Harry
Telford on behalf
of businessman David
Davis, an American living in Australia. On first
seeing the large and ungainly son of Night Raid,
Davis took an instant dislike. He no longer
wanted the Kiwi import. Telford very much did
and secured a three-year leasing arrangement.
It took a while for Telford's high opinion
of Phar Lap to prove justified. He lost nine of
his first ten races but then, helped by groom
Tommy Woodcock, who loved the horse as
much as the horse loved him, something
clicked. In the spring of 1929 Phar Lap won
Australia's two main Classics, the AJC Derby
and Victoria Derby. Sent off even money
favourite for the 1929 Melbourne Cup he could
finish only third, proving more than jockey
Bobbie Lewis could manage. His headstrong
tendencies undid him that day. Thereafter he
became nigh on unbeatable.
Phar Lap filled out his magnificent frame,
growing in size and rising in stature. Seven days
after placing against his name the 1930 Cox
Plate he sauntered home on the opening day of
the Melbourne Cup carnival in the Melbourne
(now Mackinnon) Stakes. Three days later his
legend was assured.
Carrying the welter burden of 9st 12lb and
partnered by now regular jockey Jim Pike, Phar
Lap produced what remains to this day the
finest Melbourne Cup-winning performance
of all time. At odds of 8-11 he was and is the
only horse to claim Australia's most celebrated
sporting contest at odds-on. He did it in a canter,
prompting Pike to say: "He's a great horse. In
fact he is the best horse Australia has ever seen
and I doubt they will ever see his equal. There's
only one chance they've got of beating him - if
they can breed them with wings on."

Phar Lap wins the1930 Melbourne Cup:
Click to watch video
He carried on winning, following up his
Tuesday triumph with further Flemington
romps on the Thursday and Saturday of the
carnival. Having dazzled over two miles he
thrashed Australia's top sprinters in Caulfield's
1931 Futurity Stakes before returning to
Moonee Valley for a second Cox Plate later that
year. His failure to win the Melbourne Cup that
followed was no failure. It was at the hands not
of a horse with wings but a handicapper with
weights. Phar Lap was allocated the impossible
load of 10st 10lb. Even for him that was too
much.
He would not race in Australia again. In no
time at all he would not see Australia again.
With Telford staying at home, Phar Lap
was sent by Davis to North America for the
Agua Caliente Handicap on March 20, 1932, at
Agua Caliente racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico, just
across the border from San Diego. In front of a
record crowd Phar Lap won in a record time,
this time under Billy Elliot. The horse billed as
'the Red Terror from the Antipodes' was now a
star in the United States as well as Australia and
New Zealand. He was taken to California and
he died there.
It happened on April 5, 1932. Woodcock
always slept just a few yards from Phar Lap's
box. As soon as he woke he would greet his
friend with a sugar lump. When the sugar lump
was refused Woodcock became concerned. He
summoned vet Bill Neilsen, who had travelled
from Australia as part of the horse's entourage.
Neilsen suspected colic and initially felt Phar
Lap was beginning to show signs of progress.
Those signs were false. He succumbed to
whatever was ailing him at 2.30pm.
In a book chronicling the Melbourne Cup
from 1861 to 2000, author Maurice Cavanough
writes: "Woodcock, who had been Phar Lap's
devoted attendant since he first raced . . . was
completely distraught. He lay down by the dead
horse and clung to its neck, weeping bitterly,
before friends dragged him away." The 1983 film
Phar Lap features that very same heartbreaking
scene in its early moments.
Phar Lap was dead but they did not
know why. In Australia, where he had been a
symbol of patriotism through the dark days
of the depression, there was shock, horror
and an immediate move to blame America. It
was alleged the horse had been deliberately
poisoned, perhaps by underworld figures who
feared him going on a winning streak across the
US.
Nobody knew for sure then what had
happened. Nobody knows for sure now. Writer
Geoff Armstrong has been fascinated by Phar
Lap since he was a child and has written
a number of books and articles about
the icon's life and death. His opinion
carries plenty of weight.
"When the horse died they carried
out the post-mortem and expected to
find a blockage in the intestine – but it
wasn't there," says Armstrong.
"As a result, they just didn't know
what caused his death. The problem
was nothing fitted. There was no
explanation for why such a fit racehorse
should suddenly just die like that. That
created a situation whereby all sorts of
theories were able to take off and those
theories carried some weight. The ones that
carried the most weight were the sexiest ones,
linked to the idea of arsenic poisoning and
gangsters wanting to kill the horse.
"The truth is there was no reason for
gangsters to kill Phar Lap. It's also true they
checked for arsenic poisoning and in the
post-mortem they specifically say there wasn't
enough arsenic in the horse to kill him."
The arsenic theory has clung to Phar
Lap like his victory roll of honour. In 2006 vet
Graeme Pearce said that in a conversation 40
years earlier Neilsen claimed local authorities
had sprayed pasture for noxious weeds and that
Phar Lap died as a result of eating some of the
grass.
Also in 2006 a study of the horse's hair
concluded he had perished after ingesting
arsenic. Another report stated Woodcock had
inadvertently killed his charge by feeding him
a tonic that mistakenly contained excessive
levels of arsenic, which for much of the 20th
century was given to horses by some trainers,
including Telford.
"I get really dirty when people suggest it
was an arsenic poisoning caused by a mistake
made by Woodcock," says Armstrong. "A
colossal amount would have been needed to
kill the horse. It would have required the most
terrible error, one a horseman like Woodcock
simply would not have made.
"We once interviewed Bill Stutt, who was
the Moonee Valley chairman and a really
good friend of Woodcock. We asked him did
Tommy ever say he knew what happened. Bill
said Tommy never knew. At different stages of
his life he repeated whatever the theory of the
day was, so in the mid-1930s he said gangsters
poisoned the horse."
The gangster theory does not wash with
Armstrong, who instead believes Phar Lap died
of nothing more sinister than a gastrointestinal
disorder.
He explains: "When we did our book
in 2000 my original intention was to put all
the different theories out there and let the
reader decide. However, my co-author Peter
Thompson had the idea of showing the post-
mortem to a vet. We therefore presented it to
Dr John van Veenendaal, who was probably
Melbourne's leading racing vet at the time. He

Phar Lap wins Melbourne Cup AP
The truth is there was no reason for gangsters to
kill Phar Lap. It's also true they checked for arsenic poisoning and in the post-mortem they specifically say there wasn't enough arsenic in the horse to kill him - Geoff Armstrong
immediately said it was duodenitis-proximal
jejunitis, a bacterial infection that shuts down
the intestine.
"The key point is that infection was not
discovered until 1982, so in 1932 the vets and
Tommy Woodcock were looking for something
that at the time they did not know existed. That's
why the mystery took off. Unfortunately, saying
Phar Lap died of a mere bacterial infection was
not very exciting, so even though we published
the evidence, and that evidence is clear, it has
not been accepted."
Armstrong adds: "In 2005 I did a book on
the 1930 Melbourne Cup and redid it in 2010,
by which stage the 'arsenic killed Phar Lap'
theory had again taken off. I contacted Dr Tam
Garland, the leading veterinary toxicologist in
America, and put all the evidence towards her.
Again, she immediately said it was duodenitis-
proximal jejunitis.
"It obviously can't be 100 per cent clear-
cut because we can't do a post-mortem today.
However, the evidence fits like the proverbial
glove. I don't think Phar Lap's death is a mystery
at all. I think it's quite clear what killed the
horse. In my opinion, the mystery of Phar Lap is
what happened in the shooting before the 1930
Melbourne Cup."
The shooting took place three days prior
to the Cup. Phar Lap had been given a light
workout at Caulfield as part of his build-up
to running at Flemington later in the day.
Woodcock, riding a pony, was leading the
champion when he spotted a parked car,
inside which were two men, one of whom was
suspiciously holding papers close to his face.
The car's number plate also appeared to have
been doctored.
The Argus, a daily morning newspaper in
Melbourne, reported: "When near Etna Street,
Woodcock heard the car
come up fast
behind him.
He pushed Phar
Lap up on to the
footpath close to
a hedge, placing
himself and his
pony between the
horse and the car.
He then saw a man in
the car with a double-barrel shotgun.
Woodcock dug his heels into the pony
and it shot forward. Feeling the pony
move sharply, Phar Lap did the same.
A shot was fired and it may have been
this sudden move forward that saved
the horse's life."
Phar Lap's connections had already
been advised to be on guard. They
had unexpectedly scratched Phar Lap
from the Caulfield Cup after previously
staking doubles on Amounis to win
that race – which he did – and Phar Lap to take
out the Melbourne Cup. Bookmakers faced a
chunky payout.
Offering his analysis, Armstrong says:
"These gangsters seemingly completely missed
the horse from point-blank range. When the
police went back to the scene of the crime on
the Saturday afternoon there were no signs
a shooting had taken place. There were no
shotgun pellets in a fence. There was nothing.
"I can obviously only guess, but the most
likely explanation I've got is it was a media stunt.
I think there were blanks in the gun. If it was a
genuine shooting they were pretty terrible at it."
In A Century Galloped By, a history of the
Victoria Racing Club published in 1988, John
Pacini writes: "Who 'owned' Phar Lap according
to the racebook was unimportant. His unofficial
owners were the people of Victoria. Thus, when
there was an attempt made on the horse's life on the
Saturday prior to the Cup, news of it swept through
Melbourne faster than a declaration of war."
Phar Lap's team did not want the horse to
be a victim of that war. Following his Saturday
saunter around Flemington they secretly
transported him to a stud nearly 50 miles
away in Geelong. He was due to leave there at
midday on Tuesday. In yet another scare, the
motor of the float that was set to take Phar Lap
to Flemington refused to fire up. Only after
30 minutes was it encouraged back to life. As
the clock ticked down to the off-time of the
Melbourne Cup radio stations repeatedly told
listeners that Phar Lap had not arrived at the
track and his whereabouts were unknown.
To enormous cheers, Phar Lap arrived at
the racecourse 40 minutes before the race was
due to start. The rest is history.
What a history. What a story. What a horse.
Phar Lap: 'the greatest of all time'
Eight days, four races, four wins. Phar Lap
was the thread that held the whole of the 1930
Melbourne Cup Carnival together.
After winning the mile-and-a-quarter
Melbourne Stakes on the opening Saturday
and then the two-mile Melbourne Cup on the
Tuesday, he was back at Flemington on the
Thursday to win the Linlithgow Stakes, then a
weight-for-age contest over a mile. To round
things off he returned on the meeting's final
Saturday to lift the Fisher Plate over a mile and
a half.
"I can understand why Telford ran him
on all four days – the horse was really tough
and in top form," says Phar Lap expert Geoff
Armstrong.
Summing up why he believes Phar Lap
stands out above all others, Armstrong says:
"Whenever we get a great horse here, whether
it's Tulloch, Kingston Town, Makybe Diva,
Black Caviar or Winx, we always say he or she is
the greatest horse since Phar Lap. It's amazing
that Phar Lap is the one horse who has entered
our culture like no other.
"I think part of that comes back to the fact
he ran during the depression. Part of it comes
back to the fact his first great season was 1929
when the media was becoming a big deal
thanks to the wireless and newsreels, so people
could hear and see him win.
"However, I think the thing
that really sets him apart
is he is just the greatest
racehorse of all time.
I don't think it's any
more complicated
than that."
