The Title of NZ Bloodstock Filly of the Year Is on the Line for O'reilly Filly The title of NZ Bloodstock Filly of the Year is on the line for O’Reilly filly Miss Selby this Saturday, when she sets out in the Gr.1 Wellfield Stud New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Trentham. The last start winner of the Gr.3 Lowland Stakes has been a model of consistency, placing in all six of her career starts. As a consequence, the John Bary-trained galloper has netted 12 points in the prestigious NZB-sponsored Filly series, with victory on Saturday securing a vital 12 points which would see her overtake Costa Viva (20.5 pts), Hera (O’Reilly) and Bounding (13 pts). Whilst these three horses are notable omissions on Saturday, Miss Selby is tipped to face her stiffest opposition in the form of the last start Gr.3 Sunline Vase winner Rock Diva and from no less than four other WS-sired chances (see picture below).

Silent Achiever settled toward the back of the field and one off the rail before she sprinted to the front 150 metres from home and then cruised clear to win by a length and a half. “She got the job done nicely and she’ll race in two weeks’ time in the Ranvet, two weeks after that in The BMW and then another two weeks on to the Sydney Cup.” Silent Achiever was partnered by James’s former apprentice Vinnie Colgan, who had to wait two years to collect his Group One victory aboard the mare. He was her regular rider during the early part of her 3YO season before he was sidelined by an injury that cost him the winning turn in the 2012 New Zealand Derby. Colgan said it wasn’t all plain sailing but Silent Achiever’s quality quickly put the issue beyond doubt in the straight. “She pulled a bit in the running and I was a little worried she was doing too much. But her acceleration was outstanding – in the last furlong she really put paid to them.” Source: NZ News Desk Beckham was rated as “one of the best I’ve got” by co-trainer Peter McKay before he made his debut at Matamata on Wednesday and the royally- bred colt didn’t disappoint. The Pins three-year-old bounced out of the barrier to sit on the pace and asserted his superiority in the straight to win by a length and a-half. Bred and raced by WS, the handsome colt is the fourth foal of the farm’s dual Group One winner Glamour Puss. The Tale of the Cat mare now has a perfect record at stud with Heritage, Hollywood and Vogue all previously successful. “He’s a real blueblood – he’s got it all there,” rider Vinnie Colgan said. “He stepped out of the gates well and was very tractable and he gave me a really nice feel in the last 200 metres.” Favourite comfort food: Love chocolate.

Having successfully taken out the Listed Kalgoorlie Cup (2300m) in September, Classique Ivory struck this noted Cups double with an impressive win under jockey Shaun O’Donnell in the Listed Bunbury Cup. Raced by Warren Simcoe and trained by Gino Poletti, Classique Ivory has now won seven of his career starts, with earnings now reaching A$310,370 Bred by Waikato Stud, Classique Ivory is out of the Senor Pete mare Senorita Ivory. Senorita Ivory is a stakes placed winner of four races and a half-sister to the Gr 1 Thorndon Mile winner Sir Kinloch. Australian stakes winners Dysphonia and Scarf, who has a black-type victory in England to his credit as well, are also members of the family. Classique Ivory is one of 10 stakes winners for sire Savabeel this season. Waikato Stud’s sired-and-raised graduate Dulcify was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame this week. Bred R Porter of Fielding in 1975, Dulcify was rated by Hall of Fame trainer Colin Hayes as the greatest horse he ever trained, winning 10 of 21 starts. Whilst Gr.1 victories notably included the Victoria Derby, the VRC Australian Cup, the Rosehill Guineas, the AJC Derby and the LKS Mackinnon Stakes, it is his a record 7 length victory in the 1979 Cox Plate, that he is best remembered for (pictured left). “I always say I was a passenger that day. He was just an exceptional galloper – a bit like So You Think in this day and age. I’ve seen my fair share but there would not be many better than Dulcify,” recalled his jockey Brent Thomson. Unlike So You Think however, Dulcify was not necessary blessed with movie star looks.Offered at the 1977 New Zealand National Yearling Sale, Dulcify boasted a smart pedigree but was considered undesirable by many due to his slight parrot mouth. “He wasn’t badly undershot. He was a plain bay horse, who was very athletic,” recalled Thomson. Fortunately, Colin Hayes appreciated an early hint of this athleticism and secured the star colt with a paltry bid of NZ$3,500. “It just goes to show you, they don’t necessarily have to be expensive to be good,” said Thomson. Group 1 racing took centre stage at Ellerslie last weekend, and we were clearly reminded how successful the O’Reilly /Zabeel cross is proving to be. Silent Achiever was so impressive winning the New Zealand Stakes, and making it her 6th win at Group level. O’Marilyn is a new performer on the Gr. 1 stage, and the 2yo filly showed her wonderful fighting qualities when trying so hard to get past Vespa in the Diamond Stakes; falling short by just ¼ of a length. The results to date when sending mares carrying Zabeel anywhere in their pedigree to O’Reilly have been very encouraging. There have been only 27 runners bred this way to date, but they have already produced the 3 stakes winners Silent Achiever, Pussy Willow and Collar for an 11.1% SW/Rnrs ratio overall.

  • Oti Racing 25
    SEMPATRECMHB 2E2R 21012 02020 ISSVUOEL 2051 1 OTI GAZETTE The official newsletter of OTI RACING and Management Sparks flew earlier this week in Australia when Racing Victoria IN THIS WEEK'S announced that it would propose a nationwide reduction in the use of EDITION the whip. Rather than this important topic taking the limelight, the discussion quickly and unfortunately moved to whether Racing Victoria had acted appropriately in making such an announcement. OTI NEWS Upcoming OTI Runners OTI Fun and Games In the eyes on the general public, the use of the whip in racing is A CONVERSATION intrinsically linked to horse welfare. In this age, despite whatever WITH argument racing may use to justify its use, most people, especially GLEN BOSS children, see it as unacceptable that a horse is whipped to make it go faster. MICHAEL LYNCH Despite the backlash against Racing Victoria, it is comforting for the ON FIELD SIZES future of the industry to see that it has taken a position on the issue. Hopefully a united stand by all the peak bodies on the reduction and OTI TO RACE ultimately elimination of the whip will do wonders for racing’s image. It MONTABOT will support our welfare claims and equally, importantly lay the foundation for more young people to want to enter the sport. SOMETHING TO The price of inaction on the issue is high. In losing the support of the WATCH, LISTEN OR public, we encourage politicians to make the decision for us. It’s an easy READ policy to sell for a major party to attract votes.

SHAMUS AWARD b.c. 2010 by Snitzel – Sunset Express by Success Express Shamus Award made history as the first three-year-old to capture both the Australian Guineas (gr. I) and the W. S. Cox Plate (gr. I). He was also precocious enough to be stakes placed over 1000m on his debut at two, going on to become a multiple graded stakes performing juvenile. Shamus Award is by grade one winning sprinter, Snitzel, the leading stallion son of Danehill’s Champion Sire, Redoute’s Choice, out of a mare by the highly-influential Success Express, also responsible for the current Leading Sire of Two-Year-Olds, Mossman. Shamus Award is one of a trio of grade one winners for Snitzel, the other two both being out of Northern Dancer line mares. Sizzling is out of a mare by General Nediym (from the Shareef Dancer branch, and a strain that could be particularly interesting here) and Snitzerland from a daughter of Fraar (by Topsider, a close relative to Sadler’s Wells, Fairy King and Nureyev). Considering the close relatives to Topsider we can note that Redoute’s Choice and his sons have sired eight stakes winners out of Sadler’s Wells line stallions, from daughters of Barathea, Blevic (by Scenic), Singspiel and Galileo.

  • O'reilly Puts a Bit of Speed in There
    Star O’Reilly filly Silent Achiever winning the 2012 Gr.1 New Zealand Derby Onwards and Upwards for O’Reilly Derby Heroine Trainer Roger James has signalled it’s onwards and upwards for star O’Reilly filly Silent Achiever following her bold win in the Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m) on Saturday. According to the five time NZ Derby winning trainer, Silent Achiever has come through her dominant 2.5 length Ellerslie outing in top order, effectively ensuring that her dual Gr.1 mission to Australia is still very much on the cards. “She’s very well. We trotted her up on the lead the day after the Derby and it was as if she was on springs,” said James. “This morning she had a light trot and canter and she was light and free, so at this stage Sydney is very much still on.” Of her Australian assignments, James is keen to target the Gr.1 Storm Queen Stakes (3YOF, 2000m) – a race that he won with Sixty Seconds in 2002, and the Gr.1 AJC Australian Oaks (3YOF, 2400m) which features two weeks later. Sure to be strongly supported for her Storm Queen Stakes outing on April 7, Silent Achiever takes to the Rosehill starting gate an imposing classic record of five wins from seven starts, with consecutive black-type success being registered at the most recent of these in the Gr.1 New Zealand Derby, the Gr.2 Royal Stakes (2000m), the Gr.3 Waikato Guineas (2000m) and the Gr.2 Avondale Guineas (2100m). Bred and raced by Valachi Downs principal Kevin Hickman, Silent Achiever is out of the winning Zabeel mare Winning Spree and is a half-sister to four winners, including the Gr.2 Wellington Guineas placegetter Anotherchancetaken (No Excuse Needed).
