Deep Field - New Winner

As arguably the most exciting 3yo colt in training, could it be that Godolphin’s Tentyris has gone to another level? If his win in Saturday’s $1m G1 VRC Lightning Stakes (1000m) down the Flemington straight is anything to go by, then we're in for some exciting viewing over the coming months.

A $255,000 weanling purchase in Australia that was then sold for $500,000 at Karaka Book 1 by Kaha Nui Farm, good looking Deep Field gelding Field of Play might have been bought with Hong Kong in mind, but after winning the Group III MRC Blue Diamond Prelude (1100m) at Caulfield on Saturday that plan has changed for now

When a mare is in form, there’s no reason to shy away, and Saturday’s G3 ATC Triscay Stakes (1200m) win of Joe Pride’s Lonhro mare Weeping Woman was her fourth win in a row, including consecutive black type victories.

When Zoustar mare Joliestar gets conditions to suit, the five year-old can produce a lethal turn of foot and we saw it at Randwick on Saturday when she exploded past a small but select field in the Group II ATC Expressway Stakes (1200m).

Resuming with a close-up fourth in the Listed Barton Stakes recently, 5yo Not A Single Doubt gelding Cafe Millenium was too strong at Flemington on Saturday, winning the Listed VRC Elms Handicap (1400m), his third black type victory.

Currently spoilt with an abundance of outstanding race track performers, Chris Waller’s Autumn Glow was simply sublime (once again), remaining unbeaten when resuming in the $300,000 G2 ATC Apollo Stakes (1400m), leading home a stable trained trifecta.

With race fitness and an inspired ride from Nash Rawiller, Hellbent filly Savvy Hallie went forward from the jump and was not for catching in the Group II ATC Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) with hot favourite Apocalyptic unable to bridge the gap.

The final race of Saturday’s ten-race Flemington card saw 5yo Deep Field mare Paradise City rewarded for her recent consistency, working home too well to record her first black type victory in the G3 Frances Tressady Stakes (1400m) for Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman.

A full brother to dual Group I winner Artorius, Flying Artie colt Sixties is on track to have a crack at a Group I of his own later this month after scoring a stylish win in the Group III VRC CS Hayes Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on Saturday.

The richest race in the world was run overnight at Riyadh with the $US20million Saudi Cup (1800m) on dirt won for the second year in a row by Japanese bred and trained superstar Forever Young.
