Sweet Scandal and Thunder Cloud

        Midweek racing this week saw the Hayes/Dabernig trained Gold Mag put his name to the list of spring contenders at the Sandown track. While at Warwick Farm the Waller trained Sweet Scandal impressed again. The country racing was at Grafton for the Ramornie Handicap meeting where the Toby Edmonds trained, Havasay was given a gem of a ride by Matt Mcgillivray bursting through late, to gain victory.
  • Sweet Scandal -- A confident ride by Blake Shinn on Sweet Scandal saw the Sepoy filly make it two wins in a row. She is out of Encosta De Lago mare, Bachannal Woman who is producing some promising gallopers. While in the benchmark 74 over 1100m, the Joseph Pride trained four year old gelding Argent Dór recorded a good win in the final race of  the day. The Sebring geldings last win was this time last year and was ridden by young Andrew Adkins.
  • Sandown and Gold Mag -- Craig Williams continued on his winning way at Sandown with a treble. His first winner came from a great ride on the New Zealand import Cataracta. Then in the second he followed with another NZer called Gold Mag . The Hayes/Dabernig gelding who stays unbeaten,  left his opposition in his dust with a brilliant turn of foot. The three year old Savabeel gelding is out of the High Chaparral mare, Chapinta so will definately appreciate more ground than todays 1200m race.

  • Thunder Cloud scored his fourth win this preparation for Darren Weir in convincing style with Damian Lane riding strongly at the end of the 2100m BM 78. The Manhattan Rain gelding is building a good record for his connections. In the last race, Queen Annabel gave C.Williams his third win for the day as she strode clear of her opposition. The mare is by the Sun Stud prolific producer of winners in Bel Esprit and the 1200m suited perfectly. Bel Esprit stands back in Victoria this year after spending a few years in Queensland.
  • Morphetville -- Jockey, Jason Holder rode four winners at the Morphetville meeting commencing with the Tony Mcevoy trained, Startum gelding, Volum who broke his maiden status, in the opening race over 1250m.  The other galloper worth mentioning is the Ambidexter gelding, Dexelation who made it a hat trick of wins. The Mick O'shea trained, Alfie Chann ridden galloper just lasted over the 1250m in the BM60. 
  • Grafton Carnival -- In the listed Ramornie Hcp, Havasay lifted his earnings to nearly 500,000 dollars with a strong win in the 1200m event. The Rothesay five year old gelding was ridden beautifully by Matt Mcgillivray bursting through an opening halfway up the straight. He is out of the Show A Heart mare, Showhama.  In the Grafton Guineas the Snitzel 3yo gelding Turnberry fought on strongly for Kris Lees and Corey Brown combination to record another victory. 
The Fastnet Rock stallion Rothesay stands at Lyndhurst Stud on the Darling Downs. He is out of  Schiaparelli who is a daughter of Canny Lad's full sister Canny Lass. Represents great value check him out here.
