Matamata trainer Jamie Richards prepared the winners of three of the feature races at last Saturday s Karaka Million night at Ellerslie and Waipukurau s Michael Ormsby shared in two of them.
Richards saddled up Need I Say More to triumph in the Group 3 $70,000 Cambridge Stud Almanzor Trophy (1200m), On The Bubbles to take out the $1million Karaka Million Two-year-old (1200m) and Entriviere to score in the Group 3 $70,000 Concorde Handicap (1200m).
Sydney’s leading jockey Tommy Berry wasn’t going to let his hectic schedule stop him from riding French Bonnet and Deepfield Magic at Gosford on Wednesday.
Berry could easily have chosen to miss the low-key provincial meeting, particularly after riding into the evening at Warwick Farm on Australia Day then backing up quickly to ride at an important Rosehill barrier trials session in the morning.
Then there is the Canterbury Friday night meeting ahead of Saturday’s Expressway Stakes fixture at Rosehill Gardens, which heralds the unofficial start of the Sydney autumn carnival.

Mark Newnham and jockey Rachel King have combined to claim their second Villiers Stakes
Trainer Mark Newnham and jockey Rachel King have combined to claim their second successive Villiers Stakes and they were thrilled to do it with stable favourite Greysful Glamour.
The five-year-old was one of the first horses through the door when Newnham took out his trainers’ licence and she has been a wonderful money-spinner.
King has also forged a dynamic relationship with her and admits she isn’t the only member of her family with a soft spot for the mare.
