A wide draw and a tough run could not stop the progress of Per Incanto’s (Street Cry-Pappa Reale by Indian Ridge) latest exciting juvenile Dal Cielo...

Unbeaten at the trials, including a three length win over impressive stakeswinner Windborne, the Stephen Marsh trained Rocanto ( Per Incanto – Romantic Liaisons by Danasinga) was at short odds to make a winning debut in the $30,000 Wentworth Grange Premier at Te Rapa on Saturday. The Lowell Goddard bred two-year-old colt justified the support to complete a comfortable win and hopefully New Zealand race-goers can get to see more of Rocanto before he departs for an inevitable career in Hong...

There were plenty of smiles on the faces of vendors with Per Incanto (Street Cry-Pappa Reale by Indian Ridge) progeny at the Ready to Run Sales as our first season sire continued to make a strong impression on buyers across Australasia and South East Asia. In a remarkable performance – remembering that these progeny came off his first season service fee of just $4,000 – the group winning sprinting son of Street Cry finished the second leading first season sire on average behind the Australia...

Another two impressive winners at last week’s Cambridge trials continue the momentum built by Per Incanto (Street Cry-Pappa Reale by Indian Ridge), arguing well for more solid results for vendors with his stock at the National Ready to Run Sale at Karaka this week. An unnamed colt from Sound Lover won his 650m heat in the fastest time of the morning, spreading his opponents out like brown’s cows with a staggering 15 lengths to the third horse. The LA bred colt was bought from our 2014 Karaka...

Well rated in front by Kelly Myers, Manu (Darci Brahma – Sporty Spice by Carneige) was a comprehensive winner of the feature event at Hastings on Sunday. Trainer Roydon Bergerson and his team deserve a lot of credit for the win, the fifth of Manu’s career. The LA owned galloper hasn’t helped himself in the past by galloping too fiercely but has returned this season a much more settled horse. Three-year-old colt Lupo Nero ( Nadeem – Huntington Girl by Black Zephyr) looks set for better things...

Blue hen mare Sanderae (Oncidium – Nell by Knights Romance) once again exhibited her genetic influence on Australasian racing on Saturday with female descendants to the fore at Flemington and the feature New Zealand meeting at Awapuni. Forty four years to the day after the Te Parae bred Sanderae won the Group 2 Wakeful Stakes at Flemington, her great, great, grand-daughter Thunder Lady (Mastercraftsman – Thunderchine by Thunder Gulch) won the same event. Thunder Lady will be out to again...

Nadeem Lass ( Nadeem – Danrego by Danzero) is Nadeem’s ( Redoute’s Choice – Candide by Sound Reason) latest stakes performer with her third placing in the Listed 1400m Black Pearl Stakes at Geelong last Wednesday. The consistent five-year-old mare took her stake earnings in excess of Aus $220,000 with the effort. Kris Lee’s filly Savoureux ( Nadeem – Ripe Plum by Spectrum) broke the ‘good horses’ standard of 34 seconds for her last 600m to win impressively over 1100m in New South Wales on...

Right Hammar ( Nadeem – Saraama by Kings Best) who made a winning debut when successful over 1000m in Western Australia last week is yet another winner for his sire featuring a duplication of the half brothers Never Bend and Bold Reason, with Never Bend carried through the female side via Last Tycoon – O’Reilly and Towkay are sons of Last Tycoon. Consistent mare Edge of Glory ( Towkay – Wooden Doll by Woodborough) scored a tough win over 1400m at Woodville last Thursday, adding to the good run...

Emerging stayer Coworth Park ( Nadeem- Heart Set by St Covet) took a step closer to open company with his latest winning performance over 2200m at Doomben on Saturday. The Robert Heathcote trained five-year-old, who took his stake earnings to nearly $140,000 with Saturday’s success, was coming off a second place finish and a win at his previous two starts, both at the same venue. Interestingly Coworth Park is bred on a 3x4 Sound Reason cross, which captures the proven cross of the half...
