Handy galloper My Mate Sonny ended a frustrating couple of years with a narrow victory at Donald. The gelding was on a 19-race losing streak, which was surprising given his last win nearly two years ago was in record time at Warrnambool in January 2023. However, he...

Talented galloper Easy Jay posted the most impressive win of his career when he nearly broke Warrnambool’s 1200-metre course record despite being eased down in the closing stages. The fast pace set the race up for the five-year-old gelding who charged home from second...

Irish jockey Cian MacRedmond posted his first win on Australian soil when he booted home the Almighty Will at Kyneton. The win was especially thrilling for Ben Plant (pictured with Almighty Will), a member of the Hirsch Park racing team, and for his brother Nikolas,...

Talented galloper Easy Jay made it hard work for his jockey Mitch Aitken but was again far too good, posting back-to-back victories with an impressive performance at Seymour. Mitch, who won the gelding at Werribee last start, is familiar with Easy Jay’s waywardness...

Three-year-old Shalimar Moon made a stunning return to racing with a barnstorming finish to score at Seymour on Sunday. The lightly raced filly had been off the scene for 15 months after placing in her first campaign at Geelong and with the benefit of time could not...

Morning Darling posted his third win this campaign with an impressive last-to-first performance at Ballarat on Tuesday. The five-year-old won his maiden first-up at Bendigo, three starts later scored at Ararat and bounced off a last start unlucky fourth at Ballarat to...
