Quintessential - Group 3 Desert Gold Stakes
Quintessential winning the "Tiger Prawn Desert Gold Group 3 Stakes"
A Quintessential (NZ) G3 Desert Gold - By NZB
A Quintessential (NZ) G3 Desert Gold
It looked an intriguing contest on paper and the $70,000 Group 3 Tiger Prawn Desert Gold Stakes (1600m) certainly delivered with Quintessential (NZ) producing a late finish to claim her first black-type race in the seventh leg of New Zealand Bloodstock's Filly of the Year Series.
Trained by leading New Zealand trainer John Sargent, Quintessential (Fast 'n' Famous x Florette) settled at the tail of the field and on straightening set out after the leaders with jockey Lisa Allpress in the saddle.
With race leaders Abeautifulred and Capital Diamond looking to have the fillies feature wrapped up, it was Quintessential who produced a big finish from the back and nabbed the leaders by a nose at the post.
A filly that only had four starts coming into the race, two of which she had won, Quintessential is the first stakes winner for her sire Fast 'n' Famous who stands at Waikato Stud. A Group 3 winning son of champion sire Redoute's Choice, Fast 'n' Famous has 17 entries in the National Yearling Sales Series.
Bred by Trelawney Thoroughbred Ltd, Quintessential was purchased by Adrian Clark for Nearco Stud Limited from Trelawney Stud at New Zealand Bloodstock's 2010 Karaka Select Sale for $70,000. The victory gives the daughter of Fast 'n' Famous six points in New Zealand Bloodstock's Filly of the Year Series and a share of sixth place. She holds a nomination for the Group 1 New Zealand Oaks on 17 March.
Trelawney Stud has 34 entries in the National Yearling Sales including:
- Lot 246, the three-quarter sister by Savabeel to the Group 1 winner Lights of Heaven (Zabeel).
- Lot 394, the half-brother by O'Reilly to the Group 1 VRC Derby winner Amalfi (Carnegie).
Running second in the Group 3 was the Lisa Latta trained Capital Diamond (NZ) (Lucky Unicorn x Diamond Smile) who has been in top form this season. She continues to produce bold performances in the Filly of the Year Series, placing in the Group 1 1000 Guineas and Eulogy Stakes, and has taken her total points to 8 in the Series, third equal with Chicharita (Towkay). She too is nominated for the New Zealand Oaks.
Coming with Quintessential in the final stages down the outside, Artistic (NZ) (Darci Brahma x Artless) is another filly that continues to produce good performances in the Filly of the Year Series. A winner of the Listed Bonecrusher Stakes in late September, she has earned 1.5 points, her first of the Series, and is another filly that is Oaks bound for trainer Shaune Ritchie.

The next leg of the Filly of the Year Series, the $100,000 Group 2 Cambridge Stud Eight Carat Classic (2000m), will be held at Te Rapa on 11 February
Tough Contest in G3 Desert Gold Stakes - By NZB
The seventh leg of New Zealand Bloodstock's Filly of the Year Series, the $70,000 Group 3 Tiger Prawn Desert Gold Stakes (1600m), is set to take place at Trentham on Saturday, with a host of talented fillies contesting a wide open affair.
The points table for New Zealand Bloodstock's Filly of the Year Series is starting to take shape with Group 1 New Zealand Bloodstock 1000 Guineas winner Planet Rock on 20 points, ten clear of her nearest rival Testa Secret in second place, with Group 2 Royal Stakes winner Chicharita in third with eight points.
Heading Saturday's line-up is Testa Secret (Testa Rossa x Acacian Secret) who has been a picture of consistency this preparation for trainer Kevin Gray. Since her second to Dowager Queen (Savabeel) in the Listed Fillies Stakes in September, she has run three second placings from four starts, her most recent coming in the Group 2 Eight Carat Classic on Boxing Day.
She is in second place in New Zealand Bloodstock's Filly of the Year Series and again looks well-placed in a highly competitive field. She has drawn well in eight with Buddy Lammas to ride.
Displaying a similar form line, Capital Diamond (Lucky Unicorn x Diamond Smile) has put together four consecutive third placings including in the Group 1 1000 Guineas and Group 3 Eulogy Stakes. Trained by Lisa Latta for Sir Patrick & Justine Hogan and the Capital Diamond Syndicate, the filly has five points in New Zealand Bloodstock's Filly of the Year Series and has drawn well in three for jockey Jonathan Riddell.
Also sporting the Cambridge Stud colours, Pussy O'Reilly (O'Reilly x Octapussy) is from a performing family with her sister Pussy Willow winning the Group 2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes last weekend. She has been racing in consistent form for trainer Don Sellwood, with three placings from her four starts this preparation, and will have her first start at 1600 metres on Saturday with James McDonald aboard.
Taking seven points and fourth place in the Filly of the Year Series when running second in the Group 1 1000 Guineas, Abeautifulred (Handsome Ransom x You Beauty) ran fourth in the Group 3 Eulogy Stakes two starts ago. She was unplaced at her last start behind Planet Rock in the Group 2 Eight Carat Classic for trainers Graeme & Debbie Rogerson, and has drawn barrier nine on Saturday.
The Shaune Ritchie trained Artistic (Darci Brahma x Artless) won the Listed Bonecrusher Stakes four starts ago and has been racing consistently since, running fourth in the Group 1 1000 Guineas and Group 2 Eight Carat Classic. She looks to have every chance for owners The Oaks Stud, with Michael Coleman to ride from gate 14.
Richie will also saddle another daughter of Darci Brahma, Forgive No Forget (ex Mejeiro). A lightly raced filly, she has only had four starts, two of which she has won, and comes into the race after a creditable fourth in the Listed Championship Stakes behind Duckworth Lewis (Postponed) over 2100 metres.
Postponed is currently in first-equal position with O'Reilly for individual three-year-old winners in New Zealand with ten, and will have Poste Restante (Postponed x Little Tee) in the Group 3. Trained by Howie Mathews, the filly comes into the race off the back of a two-and-a-half-length win at Woodville where she came from the back of the field. She is well drawn in barrier two for jockey Hayden Tinsley.
Oak Park (More Than Ready x Dawnie Dancer) also comes into the field off the back of a winning performance for trainer Murray Baker at Ellerslie in late December, and has drawn well in six with Craig Grylls to ride.
Trainer John Sargent has two entries in the race with Quintessential (Fast 'N' Famous x Florette) and Cathay Lady (Exceed and Excel x Kerimba).
Quintessential has only had four starts but she looks to have a good deal of ability. Her two wins have seen her produce good finishes from the back of the field and she will be stepping up to 1600 metres for the first time on Saturday.
Exceed and Excel can do little wrong at present and Cathay Lady has never finished worse than fourth in her six starts. She has been nabbed at the post or been very close when finishing late in all four of her second placings and is another that will have her first trip over the mile.
The lightly raced Divine Spice (Postponed x Lady Gesine) has looked impressive in her four starts for trainer Stephen Marsh, breaking her maiden at her second appearance by three lengths and taking a further two seconds coming into Saturday's contest.
Murray Neal trained The Filly (Ishiguru x Bayline Beauty) and Innovation (Keeper x Miss Grosvenor) from Ralph Manning's yard also come into the Group 3 off the back of second placings.
The Filly has only had three starts, winning her second and placing on debut and in her last appearance at Awapuni where she was run down late after leading by fellow runner Quintessential. Innovation broke her maiden in her second start and finished her last race off well running on for second behind Queen of Rock (Elvstroem).
The well-bred Zabeel filly Asavant (Zabeel x Pins 'n' Needles) comes into the race as a maiden but has been racing impressively over shorter distances given her breeding. She has placed in three of her six races for trainers John & Karen Parsons and will have her fourth consecutive start over the mile on Saturday. She is nominated for the Oaks and will be one to watch as she gets over more ground.
Special Draw (Falkirk x Summer Nymph) rounds off this highly competitive field and is another filly that will have her first race over a mile for trainers Dick & Chris Bothwell. Her record shows four starts for a win and a placing and she did not get all favours in her last start being three-wide the trip. She has drawn the ace barrier with the services of jockey Rosie Myers.
The winner of the $70,000 Group 3 Tiger Prawn Desert Gold Stakes (1600m) will earn 6 points in New Zealand Bloodstock's Filly of the Year Series, with second taking 3 points, and third 1.5 points.
The Group 3 Desert Gold Stakes will be held at Trentham at 2.45pm (NZ time). To view the current points table for New Zealand Bloodstock's Filly of the Year Series, click here.
Big Year for Karaka 3YO Mile - By NZB
Sunday's Karaka Million Twilight Meeting will see the third running of the $100,000 Karaka 3YO Mile (1600m) and, for the first time in the race's short history, it has been upgraded to Restricted Listed status.
The race's upgrade in status has come in just its third year and is justified when looking at the three-year-olds that have contested the race and have gone on to achieve black-type success. These include Group 1 winner Time Keeper, Group 2 winner Icepin, American Grade 3 winner Hoofit, stakes winner Hammer Down, and Sgp-1 placed Martial Art.
The race itself has also been won by some talented horses, with the inaugural running claimed by the Group 2 Avondale Guineas and Group 3 Wellington Stakes winner Joey Massino (O'Reilly) and last year won by the NZ 2009/10 Champion 2YO Banchee (Oratorio).
A race that had its first running in 2010, the Karaka 3YO Mile is a three-year-old race for graduates of the 2010 National Yearling Sales. Entry into the event is determined by domestic ratings.
Sunday's race will see 16 three-year-olds battle it out for the prize. They include the $1 million colt, the Group 1 NZ 2000 Guineas winner Rock 'n' Pop (Fastnet Rock x Popsy), the highest priced horse in the field. He beat a classy field in the 2000 Guineas, including New Zealand's Champion 2YO Anabandana (Anabaa), and comes into the race after resuming at Tauranga earlier this month.
Trained by Jason Bridgman and holding a nomination for the New Zealand Derby, Rock 'n' Pop has drawn barrier three with the services of jockey Matthew Cameron.
Trainer Lisa Latta won the Karaka Million with Fort Lincoln (Charge Forward x Belle Toujours) last year and she will be attempting to land the coveted Karaka Million/Karaka 3YO Mile double on Sunday night. One of four Premier Sale graduates in the race, Fort Lincoln will be ridden by Jonathan Riddell who rode Fort Lincoln to victory in the Karaka Million. They will jump from barrier eight.

Banchee powers away to win the 2011 Karaka 3YO Mile
|
Latta will also saddle Brackenwood (Perfectly Ready x Woodminco) who was unlucky in last year's Karaka Million. He has been racing in consistent form this preparation winning two of his six starts and placing in a further three, including his last appearance at Awapuni. He will jump from barrier 14 with Darryl Bradley in the saddle.
John Sargent has four runners in the Karaka Million and also has a good hand in the Karaka 3YO Mile with Shanghai Bund (Bachelor Duke x Flying Firebird). The gelding showed that he has a good amount of ability when winning easily at Hawke's Bay fresh up in October, and ran well for fourth in the Group 1 NZ 2000 Guineas and Group 1 Levin Classic. He has not had the best of luck in his last two starts, placing in both, but looks right in this. He will be ridden by James McDonald from barrier six.
Lightly raced Ginner Hart (Volksraad Lyford Cay) is capable of producing big finishes in his races. He won his first two starts in impressive fashion before placing in the Group 1 Hawke's Bay Guineas but had no luck in his last start when blocked for a run at a crucial stage. He will be ridden by Leigh Innes from gate five for trainer Alexander Fieldes.
Winning form is good form and the Don Sellwood trained King's Fortune (King's Chapel x Alleyrun) comes into the race with two consecutive victories under his belt, both over a mile. Two starts ago at Matamata the colt romped home by three-and-a-half-lengths and in his last start at Paeroa he led from the 1000 metres and held the field to win by a length. He has drawn the widest barrier of 16 in Sunday's race.
Darci Brahma has sired nine individual three-year-old winners this season and has two entries in the race, the Vanessa & Wayne Hillis trained Vincent Street (ex It's My Sin) and Matabrahma (ex Western Flame) from Paul Jenkins' yard.
Both runners have notched up winning performances this season and contested the three-year-old race at Ellerslie over 1600 metres on January 14. The pair have drawn barrier nine and ten respectively. Vincent Street will be ridden by top Australian jockey Damien Oliver.
The lightly raced Divine Spice (Postponed x Lady Gesine) has looked impressive in her four starts, breaking her maiden at her second appearance by three lengths and taking a further two seconds coming into Sunday's contest. One of five fillies in the race, she has drawn well in barrier seven for trainer Stephen Marsh and will have the services of Australian jockey Corey Brown.
Graham Richardson is one of four trainers with runners in both the Karaka Million and Karaka 3YO Mile and will saddle last start winner Mosh Pit (Scaredee Cat x Ten Guitars). She didn't get all favours in her first two starts but put that behind her with a good win at Ellerslie. Like stable mate Green Wings in the Karaka Million, she will be ridden by Australian jockey Hugh Bowman from barrier two.
One of six Karaka Select Sale graduates in the $100,000 race, Zah Girl (Keeper x Satin Pillows) put in a big finish at her last start at Ruakaka after getting back in the field and was just a few strides short when running a close third. She used her turn of foot to good effect when winning three starts back, beating fellow NZ Oaks bound Asavant (Zabeel) for trainer Shaun Clotworthy, and will jump from gate four with Michael Walker to ride.
Peter & Dawn Williams have had a highly successful season with Planet Rock (Fastnet Rock) taking the Group 1 1000 Guineas and will saddle Grand Admiral (General Nediym x Admiral's Lass). The gelding has won over the distance before two starts ago at Wingatui and will have his first start at Ellerslie from barrier eight with Sam Spratt aboard.
Molto Grato (Captain Rio x Mood Swing) has had three starts on the Ellerslie track for trainers Robert Priscott & Clayton Chipperfield, his last in the Group 2 Championship Stakes on New Year's Day, and has a tough draw to contend with in barrier 15.
One of five Festival Sale entries and the cheapest runner in the race, Classcoroc (Sirocco Class x Torque) was a $5,000 purchase by her trainer Graeme Hughes and has placed on the Ellerslie track and at the 1600 metre trip. She has drawn barrier 12 with Noel Harris to ride.
A $100,000 purchase by KVM Breeding Partnership from the Premier Sale, Captain Francis (Jet Spur x Quite Astute) is trained by Jeff Lynds and has only had three starts on the track. He ran on well at his last start after being buried back on the rail and has drawn the ace barrier. The Brent Wells trained Sighlent Spur (Rusty Spur x Sigh) will make his Ellerslie and 1600 metre debut from barrier 13.

Hot Karaka Million Field All Set for Sunday - By NZB
The final field for the $1 million Karaka Million 2YO (1200m) (Res.L) - New Zealand's richest race - has been finalised and the line-up is set to make this year's running one of the most exciting yet.
A two-year-old race for graduates of the 2011 National Yearling Sales Series, the Karaka Million is limited to a maximum of 14 runners with the Order of Entry based on prize money earned.
Topping the Karaka Million Order of Entry since her debut win in early December, the John Sadler trained Sell In May (NZ) (Starcraft x Savannah Rain) is one of two Australian-trained entries in the race. She was impressive when winning her debut, a 2YO fillies race at Flemington, running the last 600 metres in 33.32 seconds. She has drawn barrier 11 in the Karaka Million and will be ridden by Australian jockey Ben Melham.
An impressive winner of the Group 3 Eclipse Stakes on New Year's Day, the Jason Bridgman trained Warhorse (NZ) (General Nediym x Rathlin Island) will have the services of jockey Matt Cameron on Sunday night. Raced by Mr Tang Weng Fei who races Singapore star Better Than, the colt has drawn barrier 15 in the million dollar race.

Sister Havana becomes the first filly to win the
Karaka Million in 2010
|
While not the ideal draw, Vincent Mangano (No Excuse Needed) won the Karaka Million from the widest barrier in 2008 giving Warhorse some hope it can be done again.
A horse that has not been seen since the Wentwood Grange Stakes in early December, Silver City (Nothing To Loose x She's Just Dreamy) was the early leader on the Order of Entry after winning his debut at Ruakaka and the Listed Wellesley Stakes at his next start. He is one of three Stephen McKee trained runners in the race, and will be ridden by Leith Innes from barrier eight.
McKee will also saddle Freedom (NZ) (O'Reilly x Captivate) who won his debut impressively at Ellerslie on Boxing Day before running home from last to claim third place in a determined effort on January 14 on the same track. The colt will be ridden by Sam Spratt from barrier 10.
McKee's final entry is Dreamcoat (NZ) (Coats Choice x Eloquent Dancer), the cheapest purchase in the line-up at a bargain $5,000 from the Festival Sale. Also a winner on the Ellerslie track in early December, the filly looks to prefer good ground and all going to plan will have a good chance from barrier six with Michael Coleman aboard.
The top-priced two-year-old in the current Karaka Million starters is Ockham's Razor (NZ) (Any Suggestion x Shadow Ray), a $170,000 purchase by Bahen Bloodstock and the second to be making the trip from Australia. Trained by Anthony Freedman, and accompanied to New Zealand by his brother Lee, the colt ran a tough second on debut in the Thomas North Plate at Caulfield, and will be ridden by big race rider Craig Williams from barrier 13.
Leading New Zealand trainer John Sargent has the biggest hand in the race with four runners in the final field. Sargent has gone close to winning the race with Banchee running third in 2010 and Super Easy running fourth last year and hopes to do better with some good chances this year.
His entries are headed by the $70,000 filly Marechal (NZ) (General Nediym x Zalika). One of two two-year-olds in the field by General Nediym, Marechal won her second start at Otaki before running a good fourth in the Group 3 Eclipse Stakes behind Warhorse. She has drawn barrier nine in the race and will be ridden by Lisa Allpress.
Sargent will also saddle the $62,500 gelding Taoist Master (NZ) (Any Suggestion x Skara Brae) who created quite an impression when putting in a dominant performance to win on debut at Trentham in early December. He too looks a horse that enjoys the firmer ground and will have the services of jockey Jonathan Riddell on Sunday from barrier three.
Gary Mudgway purchased Choice Bro (Choisir x Ladidi) and stable mate Deakes (Shaft x Long Walk), in conjunction with John Sargent at the Karaka Select Sale and both of the horses have made the Karaka Million final field.
Choice Bro won at Ellerslie at his last start in late December, and Deakes comes into the race after running in Saturday's Group 2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes. They will be ridden by James McDonald from barrier four and David Walsh from gate one respectively.

Fort Lincoln (Inside) makes a successful rails bid to win the Karaka Million in 2011
|
Graham Richardson's stable has been flying this season and his runner Green Wings (Dr Green x My Fairy Wings) burst into the Karaka Million field when he ran his rivals into the ground at Ellerslie in mid-January. From three starts, the two-year-old has won his last two races on good and dead footing. One of four starters from the Festival Sale, the $30,000 gelding and will be ridden for his Hong Kong owners by top Australian jockey Corey Brown from barrier 12.
A late entry into the top of the Order of Entry, Hogwarts Express (NZ) (Elusive City x Night Dancer) broke her maiden on January 12 at Te Rapa before running a brave third in the Group 2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes, propelling her into the Karaka Million field. Trained by Stephen Marsh, she is one of five fillies in the field, a Festival Sale entry, and the second cheapest at $14,000, and will be ridden by Michael Walker from gate seven.
Another winner at Ellerslie, Silk Pins (NZ) (Pins x Silk Ending) was impressive when winning her debut where she beat some classy opposition including fellow runner Warhorse and stakes winner Travino. She didn't get all the favours when unplaced in the Group 3 Eclipse Stakes but has had a winning trial coming into the race. She will be ridden by Hugh Bowman from barrier 14 for Keith and Brendon Hawtin.
The Kevin Hughes trained Mai Guru (NZ) (Ishiguru x Everglow) adds an historic element to the field. He is the first horse in a Karaka Million field to have been purchased at the Ready to Run Sale, having been pinhooked from the National Yearling Sales. He won his last start impressively at Woodville over 1100 metres and has drawn barrier two with top Australian jockey Damien Oliver to ride.
John Sargent trains the Karaka Million first ballot Magic Shaft (Shaft x Adaptable Lass). The gelding has only had two starts on the track for two placings, the last coming at Te Rapa where he ran second to Karaka Million starter Hogwarts Express.
Last year's Karaka Million winning trainer Lisa Latta and owner Lincoln Farms will saddle the race's second emergency Lady de Chine (Fastnet Rock x Crepe de Chine), a $250,000 yearling who won her last start at Taranaki in impressive fashion.
