Page 5 - Maher Eustace News Today

RSN927 By Matt Stewart, Racing Editor The morning after Ciaron Maher and Dave Eustace trained the quinella in the South Australian Derby – another notch on the belt of this extraordinary, youthful training duo – a wily rival trainer quipped: “look at them in the yard.” “Sprinters, stayers, jumpers, they’re all the same,” the trainer said. “They just lope around, heads down. You look at a lot of trainers and their horses are yanking at the bridle, wasting energy. Ciaron’s hor...

$5.00 with Since Lester’s tip, (* as of 1pm publish time). The $3.60 Place price could still be enticing according to Lester. “We are a little bit on weather watch, so just be a bit circumspect there, – as long as the track is in the Good, or just into the Soft range, I’m happy to think he’s a good each way chance.” For Deane Lester’s full preview of the  Quaddie legs, listen below to today’s Friday Form Panel with Nick Quinn. Or, tune in and hear his thoughts on the full c...

RSN927 NOW PLAYING DABERNIG EXIT PRESENTS BIGGEST CHALLENGE YET March 17, 2021 2:22 pm By Matt Stewart, Racing Editor    Lindsay Park, on the outskirts of Euroa. Hayes had sold his chunk of the family’s famously successful Barossa Valley property and taken the brand – as well as the earthmovers – to Creightons Creek. Melbourne and Sydney.

Can Russian Camelot be the horse to raise its head above the pack in Australia?

The flinging open of the Caulfield gates on Saturday could coincide with the unexpected appearance of Cox Plate winner, Sir Dragonet.

SEN Track Preview: Group racing at Caulfield By Saturday racing returns to Caulfield following the Australia Day meeting on Tuesday.

A little bit more rain is forecast (is there really BOM?) but hopefully it doesn’t wreak too much havoc with the track. Race 1 - Ive Print Handicap @ 12:55pm The Maher/Eustace filly Lariat looks the...

Carl Di Iorio Jockey(s) to watch: Laura Lafferty is yet to ride a city winner but that should change quickly in 2021. The vast majority of her winners, as is the case with most apprentices early in their career, settled top three, but shes won races during December with some intelligent off-pace rides, displaying greater timing and composure. I predict that Damien Oliver will win this seasons Melbourne Jockeys Premiership. Hes ridden almost enough seconds to complete a minute already this seas...
