Whanganui trainer Paul Belsham’s progressive galloper Slazenjah ( Towkay -Crisp by Zeditave) all-but guaranteed himself a start in races such as the Fielding and Whanganui Cups through November, with a strong staying performance to win the 2100m Raukawa Cup at Otaki on Saturday. Although bred more to win a Telegraph than a staying feature, the versatile five-year-old has proven something of a revelation when tried over ground, with three wins and a second placing now from five career starts...

Exciting LA bred Per Incanto colt Magnum ( Per Incanto-Sound Lover by Sound Reason) had to call on his mothers tenacity and his sires class to win...

Trainer Michael Freedman may find some solace in Magnum’s gutsy win in Sunday’s $75,000 Graduation race over 1400m a couple of hours after his stable star Super One could only run second in the Apache Cat Classic (1000m) in Cranbourne in Australia. The hitherto undefeated colt was all the rage at his first Australian run leading up to his main mission, the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) on October 31, but never really showed the same sizzling turn of foot that saw him sweep four wins at...

Friday evening at Kranji saw the much anticipated debut of the Michael Clements trained Peer Gynt ( Per Incanto-Arche by Danasinga). Unbeaten in two trials, the LA and Stephen Seabrook bred three-year-old colt didn’t disappoint, winning impressively over 1000m. Bought for $180,000 from the Lyndhurst Farm draft at last year’s Karaka Ready To Run Sale, Peer Gynt’s win maintains a 100% strike rate for his sire Per Incanto , whose three starters in Singapore have all been winners. Nadeem’s...

The picture for Saturday week’s Caulfield Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) may have become a little clearer courtesy of last weekend’s lead-up races but is the...

Per Incanto colt Dal Cielo ( Per Incanto-Cent From Heaven by Centaine) made a courageous Australian debut with a third place finish in the Group 3 Guineas Prelude at Caulfield . The top weight never had any peace in front, yet was only run down late in a performance that is exciting for connections going forward to the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas in a fortnight. Interestingly the two horses that sat outside and behind him finished 10 lengths further back. Dal Cielo’s performance follows Bob Of...

The Allan Denham trained Nadeem three-year-old Cockles ( Nadeem -Morecambe Bay by Diatribe) made an impressive winning debut at Hawkesbury in New South Wales yesterday, causing ANZ Bloodstock News to write-up the performance and tag him as a galloper to watch. ANZ Bloodstock News has had an enviable record of flagging future Nadeem stakeswinners It would be nice to think that they have found “another one”. Towkay grabbed another Hong Kong winning double on Wednesday evening courtesy of his...

Just a fortnight after the LA bred Magnum (Per Incanto-Sound Lover by Sound Reason) won in Singapore to record 50th individual wins by progeny of his celebrated dam, another son My Quilter (Pins- Sound Lover) has been successful in Brisbane on Saturday over 1640m; his 12 th career win taking his stake earnings to $275,000. New Zealand’s leading first season sire by winners and stakeswinners last term, Per Incanto , has continued his strong start to the new season with his latest winner,...

Last season’s leading N.Z first-season sire by individual winners and stakes winners, Per Incanto, has started the new season strongly. Bob of the Head (Per Incanto-Can’t Keeper Down by Keeper) achieved the breakthrough Australian win for the stallion, taking a 1000m event at Mornington last Thursday. He’d been relegated from first at his previous start, the promoted winner being the highly touted Sovereign Nation. With Bob of the Heads, dam an Oaks runner-up, he looks a promising type for...

A dream result for LA in Singapore on Sunday 30 th when the Michael Freedman trained, Magnum (Per Incanto-Sound Lover by Sound Reason), was victorious over 1100m. The only Per Incanto in last year’s Karaka Premier Sale, and the final foal from this very successful dam, the striking black colt certainly had big shoes to fill. Despite being posted wide throughout, and again showing some of the greenness he displayed when second on debut a fortnight prior, Magnum asserted his superiority to win...
