Early morning track work at Warwick Farm
City Boy capped off a run of placings on heavy tracks with a well-deserved win at Ruakaka last Saturday. Back on a better track he jumped well for Alysha, led and won nicely by 2.5 lengths. He is owned and bred by Matt Goodson and Di Perron who have a number of very nice horses in the stable, including a 2yo half-brother to City Boy by Guillotine who is a lovely type.
Top Prospect raced much more tractably at his second start over 1200m however he was a little disappointing over the short distance and raced like he will need more ground. He will head to Te Rapa on the 14th September and step up to 1400m.
Irish Missile will benefit from her outing over 1000m at Ruakaka. Going into the race without a trial she was in need of the run and is sure to improve at her next start which could be over 1100m at Ellerslie on the 24th September.
Selfie had an easy trial at Avondale on Tuesday finishing 5th over 1000m on a heavy track. He settled back and got to the line nicely. He looks set to resume race day at Ruakaka on 10th September.
With a wet track on offer and the outside barrier at Hastings last week, Biggin Hill stayed home and will now head to Ruakaka to race over 1200m on the 10th September along with Cartell.
Trials at Avondale on the 20th look to be on the agenda for Cinematic, Japhite, Swissta & Rip Van Winkle –Lady Pay.
Fast Learner & Swiss Ace - Vibe had their first run along at ¾ speed this week while Son Taari, Moki, Lady Henrietta & Dark Secret have had an easy week of pace work.
Our 2yo fillies completed their first serious preparation with a jump out on the grass on Thursday, they have all come a long way this time in and developed into good types. They will go for a short break now and our 2yo colts by Guillotine & Azamour will come in from the paddock to resume training.

Our Ventura ran a sound race for 5th over 1550m at Canterbury on Wednesday, ridden by Jason she jumped very quickly and raced a lot handier to the pace then she has previously. She finished off the race well although with nearly seven weeks between runs she is sure to improve from the race. She will start again at Warwick Farm on the 14th September over her favoured 1600m distance.
Hot Mustard will race at Hawkesbury over 2100m on Saturday, will rain forecast he looks certain to get track conditions to suit. He has drawn nicely at barrier 4 and with top weight of 61kgs will be ridden by 2kg claimer Nick Heywood.
Untamed Diamond has continued to do well since her last start win, she will head back to Canterbury on Wednesday 7th to race again over 1100m. Deanne Panya retains the ride.
