Warwick Farm Wednesday Card Brings Rising Talent Into The Spotlight

There was further encouragement for the emerging staying ranks at Warwick Farm Racecourse on Wednesday as progressive mare Superfabulistic produced another polished performance to claim back-to-back metropolitan victories for trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott.

Warwick Farm race results.

The four-year-old daughter of Super Seth and Fabulist arrived off a previous win over the same course and distance and justified strong support with a commanding display, surging clear late to score by nearly two lengths. The homebred mare, raced by Waikato Stud, once again showed the determination and finishing strength that continues to mark her as a mare with significant upside.

Bott said Superfabulistic had continued to improve with racing and hinted that longer distances could unlock even more potential in the months ahead.

“I thought at her last two runs she has been very strong through the line,” Bott said.

“I think in time she will get over a bit further. I think it was her fifth run this campaign and we just want to give her time. She is going to be a lovely mare going forward.”

Superfabulistic already carries a pedigree that commands attention. She is a half-sister to elite-level performer Icebath, the Group I-winning mare who earned more than $5.2 million during a distinguished racing career. While comparisons with Icebath may still be premature, Wednesday’s victory reinforced the feeling that Superfabulistic is steadily building her own profile.

The Warwick Farm race results also highlighted the patience shown by Waikato Stud in managing the mare’s development. Bott praised the operation for allowing the horse time to mature naturally rather than rushing her through the grades.

“Mark Chittick and the team at Waikato Stud are so patient with their horses and happy to give her time,” Bott said.

“I’m delighted to get them a result but I think we can achieve bigger and better things with her going forward.

“Most likely she will go for a break now. She is strengthening all the time and we don’t want to go to the well too many times.”

With three wins and three placings from only seven starts and earnings already beyond $104,000, Superfabulistic continues to enhance an already distinguished family. Her dam Fabulist, herself a five-time winner by Savabeel, has produced an outstanding line of performers including Icebath, Group III winner Courier Wonder, stakes winner Nowyousee and Group III placegetter Just Fabulous.

The day also provided another boost for Super Seth’s growing reputation as a stallion. The sire completed a race-to-race double on the Warwick Farm program when Sanctified, prepared by trainers Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou, captured the Benchmark 72 contest over 1300 metres.

Interest around Super Seth is expected to intensify further ahead of his first Australian breeding season, where he is set to stand at a fee of $137,500.

e Thoroughbred Welfare and Retraining Seminar

Welfare Discussions Take Centre Stage at Newmarket

Newmarket’s Rowley Mile racecourse became the centre of an important industry discussion last week as leading figures from British and Irish racing gathered for the inaugural “Behind The Bridle” seminar, an event focused on equine welfare, retraining, and the long-term wellbeing of thoroughbreds beyond their racing careers.

Thoroughbred welfare and retraining seminar

Hosted by trainer Richard Phillips and broadcaster Hannah Baycroft, the seminar brought together specialists from across racing, education, veterinary science, and rehabilitation to examine how the industry can continue improving standards of care for racehorses during and after their time in training.

Held for the first time and organised by The Jockey Club, the event aimed to encourage open discussion around horse welfare while also highlighting the progress already being made across the sport.

Among the panel members were Andrew Braithwaite, Anna Kerr, Diana Cooper, Group 1-winning trainer James Ferguson, veterinary researcher Dr Rachel Annan and rehabilitation specialist Therese Murphy.

Discussions covered a broad range of subjects, from preparing horses for retirement and retraining to ensuring stable staff are properly educated in equine care and behaviour. Speakers also explored how a deeper understanding of horse psychology and welfare can contribute positively to both performance and post-racing life.

Richard Phillips described the panel as “absolutely brilliant” and stressed that the seminar was intended as the beginning of a wider conversation rather than a standalone occasion.

He said the willingness of industry participants to exchange ideas and challenge existing practices was essential if racing was to continue improving the lives of thoroughbreds.

Phillips also pointed to the wide range of organisations represented at the event, including retraining centres, welfare groups, educational institutions, and racing authorities, all united by a common objective.

According to Phillips, the discussion around horse welfare is one that the sport must continue having openly, even when certain subjects may feel uncomfortable, because every stakeholder ultimately shares responsibility for the wellbeing of the thoroughbred.

The Newmarket trainer noted that racing had already made considerable progress in improving standards of care, while adding that there remained opportunities to continue learning and developing best practices.

He also highlighted the adaptability and intelligence of thoroughbreds, explaining that successful retraining depends on understanding how horses think, behave, and respond once their racing careers conclude.

The seminar formed part of a broader welfare-focused weekend at Rowley Mile Racecourse during the Spring Meeting. On the Saturday, racegoers were given an immersive experience centred on life after racing, with retired horses present on course alongside educational exhibits and demonstrations.

The initiative was organised in partnership with Retraining of Racehorses and several other industry groups to increase public awareness around aftercare and retraining opportunities for former racehorses.

Among the retired thoroughbreds showcased during the weekend was Kinross, allowing racegoers to see first-hand how former racehorses can transition successfully into different roles after leaving competitive racing behind.

Phillips believes initiatives such as Behind The Bridle can also help strengthen public understanding of the care racehorses receive throughout their lives.

He pointed out that many thoroughbreds benefit from carefully managed nutrition, structured exercise programmes, veterinary attention, and round-the-clock care, while emphasising that the industry must still strive to improve wherever possible.

The trainer added that continued conversations around welfare, retraining, and aftercare would play an important role in shaping the future of the sport and ensuring horses enjoy fulfilling lives both during and after their racing careers.

2026 Chartered Champions & Chater Cup

Numbers returns to Sha Tin for Champions & Chater Cup

At Sha Tin, attention turns once again to one of Hong Kong’s most prestigious staying contests, where trainers and riders are fine-tuning final plans for a demanding 2400m assignment that traditionally sorts proven stamina from hopeful ambition.

2026 Chartered Champions & Chater Cup

Frankie Lor believes a tactical adjustment could be the key to unlocking another level from Numbers as the gelding heads into Sunday’s feature at Sha Tin. The trainer has been working to soften the four-year-old’s relentless early style, convinced that a more patient approach may reveal untapped reserves over the staying trip.

The 2026 Chartered Champions & Chater Cup has already centred on whether Numbers can translate his natural strength into a more versatile racing pattern against elite opposition.

A notably strong and imposing gelding, Numbers has built his reputation on forward-running tactics, often forcing rivals to chase him down. Lor, however, is eager to test a different dimension this time, suggesting the horse may benefit from tracking another runner rather than controlling the pace from the outset.

“I’ve always thought that we should try to follow one horse and see if he can do it or not instead of always leading,” Lor said, outlining a shift in approach that could define the outcome of this year’s renewal. “If he sits second, third or fourth, we might see something different.”

The 2026 Chartered Champions & Chater Cup takes further shape when considering the presence of stablemate Romantic Thor, who could play a pivotal role in shaping the early tempo. Lor believes a stalking position behind that rival may provide the ideal scenario to assess Numbers’ adaptability.

Numbers has already shown his ability to handle distance, finishing runner-up in a Group 1 Australian Derby and placing in the Queensland Derby before arriving in Hong Kong. His campaign has also included a solid fifth in the Group 1 QEII Cup, where he was tested against top-tier company over 2000m.

On home soil, his front-running style has delivered success, including a convincing win in the Centenary Vase Handicap earlier in the season. However, Lor is aware that Sha Tin’s A Course can be unforgiving for horses that expend too much energy early, particularly over longer trips.

The trainer noted that Numbers continues to pull hard in trackwork and races, a trait that has made it difficult for jockeys to settle him comfortably in behind. Despite that, there is confidence within the camp that maturity and experience may now allow for a more measured approach.

Morning gallops at Sha Tin have suggested the gelding is in steady order, with a recent turf workout covering 1200m in 1m 20.1s offering a glimpse of his current condition ahead of the feature.

The supporting cast for Sunday’s contest includes several credible staying performers, setting up a genuinely competitive renewal. Meanwhile, Lor also looks to Happy Valley midweek, where his pair Bottomuptogether and Regal Gem are set to contest a strong Class 2 finale over 1200m.

Regal Gem, a multiple winner at the city circuit, returns to familiar territory after a midfield finish in the Derby earlier this year, while Bottomuptogether arrives off a promising trial performance.

Elsewhere on the card, emerging sprinter Tycoon Resources continues his progression after a strong debut victory, with connections reporting solid improvement following recent trial work.

As anticipation builds for Sha Tin’s staying highlight, much of the discussion remains fixed on whether a change in tactics can transform Numbers from a strong front-runner into a more adaptable Group 1 contender.

The 2026 Chartered Champions & Chater Cup ultimately hinges on that question—whether patience, rather than pressure, can unlock the next stage of his development.

Ayr racecards 20 May Wednesday flat turf racing action at Ayr Racecourse

Ayr Racecourse Wednesday Fixture Features Eight-Race Flat Programme

An exciting afternoon of Flat racing awaits at Ayr Racecourse on Wednesday, May 20, with an eight-race programme featuring competitive handicaps, promising juveniles, and experienced campaigners across a variety of distances.

The card begins at 1:42 PM with The Absolut Tabasco Maiden Stakes over five furlongs for two-year-olds.

With the sharp Ayr sprint course expected to favour early pace and professionalism, the opening juvenile event promises to provide an informative start to the meeting.

The 2:12 PM Kronenbourg 1664 Handicap Stakes over six furlongs gives experienced handicappers rated between 46 and 60 a chance to return to winning form. The race is expected to be fiercely competitive, with several runners closely matched on official ratings. Ayr’s straight sprint track regularly produces thrilling finishes, and consistency over the distance may prove decisive.

Sprint action resumes at 3:12 PM with The Altos Tequila Handicap Stakes over five furlongs. The Class 5 event is expected to feature another tightly matched field of sprinters seeking valuable handicap success. Ayr’s straight five furlongs often rewards runners with natural gate speed and the ability to maintain momentum throughout.

One of the strongest races on the card follows at 3:42 PM with The Tennent’s Lager Handicap Stakes over one mile. The Class 4 contest, worth £10,000, has assembled a highly competitive field headed by David O’Meara’s gelding carrying top weight off a mark of 81. Roger Varian’s Return To Unit makes an interesting seasonal reappearance after winning impressively on his latest outing last year.

Charlie Johnston’s Sir Paul Ramsey seeks improvement after recent outings, while Priapos represents Phillip Makin following consistent performances during the previous campaign. Jim Goldie saddles Jannas Journey, a course-and-distance winner who returns to familiar surroundings looking to rediscover form.

David and Nicola Barron rely on Degale after an encouraging recent third-place finish, while Mr Mistoffelees represents Sam England with Oisin Orr booked to ride. Hale End arrives in excellent recent form for Michael Dods after a strong second-place effort earlier this month.

Veteran performers Garden Oasis and Redarna both possess proven Ayr credentials and add further depth to the mile handicap. Penelope’s Sister and Geo complete the field for trainer Jim Goldie, who holds a particularly strong hand in the contest with multiple runners.

The evening continues with Division I of The Birra Moretti Handicap Stakes at 4:12 PM over seven furlongs and 50 yards before Division II follows at 4:42 PM under identical conditions. Both races are expected to feature competitive handicap performers suited by Ayr’s demanding finish.

The card concludes at 5:15 PM with The Oasis Summer Fruits Apprentice Handicap Stakes over one mile. Apprentice riders will have an important opportunity to showcase their tactical ability aboard experienced handicappers in the closing contest of the afternoon.

With competitive prize money, established performers, and promising younger horses all featuring across the programme, Wednesday’s Ayr meeting looks set to deliver an entertaining and high-quality afternoon of Flat racing in Scotland.

Romantic Warrior gallops at Sha Tin ahead of Champions & Chater Cup 2026

Romantic Warrior Targets History in Champions & Chater Cup at Sha Tin

At Sha Tin on Tuesday morning, attention turned firmly toward Sunday’s elite-distance contest as Hong Kong’s standout staying talent continued preparations for a rare place in racing history.

Champions & Chater Cup 2026

Romantic Warrior will take his shot at history when he lines up in Sunday’s HK$13 million G1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m) at Sha Tin, aiming to become only the third horse to complete Hong Kong’s coveted Triple Crown.

The eight-year-old star, trained by Danny Shum, is chasing a feat previously achieved only by River Verdon in 1993/94 and Voyage Bubble last season, having already secured victories in January’s G1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m) and March’s G1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup (2000m).

On Tuesday, the champion moved through a steady turf gallop on a rain-softened Sha Tin grass track, working alongside stablemate Romantic Thor under ideal, controlled conditions designed to maintain rhythm rather than test speed.

Romantic Thor, guided by Zac Purton, travelled fluently and led the pair down the back straight before both horses finished their exercise strongly, with Romantic Thor slightly ahead at the end of 1200m in 1m 17.3s.

Trainer Danny Shum was satisfied with the morning’s work, noting the balanced nature of the gallop and the relaxed approach taken with both runners as they build toward Sunday’s stamina test.

“It was just a normal gallop at a normal speed,” Shum said. “Both horses worked well and the riders were happy afterwards. It’s important they enjoy it.”

He also acknowledged the challenge ahead for his stable star stepping up to 2400m, a trip Romantic Warrior has tackled only once before when finishing second. However, Shum pointed to the horse’s maturity and improved tractability as encouraging signs.

“It’ll be a challenge. He’s getting older now, so he’s easier to control and hopefully he can handle the distance. He’s such a talented animal.”

The field assembling for the Champions & Chater Cup includes nine entries, with Romantic Thor among the key contenders. Others to work on the turf included Cap Ferrat, Winning Wing, and Numbers, each completing steady pieces of exercise as connections fine-tune final preparations.

Cap Ferrat covered 1200m in 1m 20.6s, while Numbers posted 1m 20.1s under jockey Derek Leung, both appearing comfortable in their morning routines.

Additional entries Ka Ying Generation, Gentlemen Legacy, Deep Monster, and Rousham Park remain in contention for what shapes as a true staying examination on one of Hong Kong racing’s most demanding stages.

Romantic Warrior enters the race with an extraordinary record, having earned more than HK$271 million in prize money and remaining unbeaten in five starts this season, including another commanding top-level double on Champions Day in April.

His only previous attempt at 2400m came in 2023 when finishing second behind Russian Emperor, a performance that now serves as both experience and reference point for this year’s renewed challenge.

Unbeaten since undergoing fetlock surgery last year, the gelding continues to be rated among the world’s elite, recently sharing second spot in the LONGINES World’s Best Racehorse Rankings.

Across a remarkable 30-start career spanning Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates, Romantic Warrior has recorded 23 wins and five runner-up finishes, cementing his place among modern racing’s most accomplished performers.

Hexham race results 19 May Tuesday jump racing action at Hexham Racecourse

Hexham Racecourse stages thrilling seven-race jumps meeting on May 19

An entertaining evening of jumps racing unfolded at Hexham Racecourse on Tuesday, May 19, as racegoers witnessed a series of determined performances, close finishes, and memorable victories across seven competitive contests. From emerging novice talent to experienced campaigners producing strong staying efforts, the meeting offered plenty of excitement under the Northumberland skies.

The action began with the 5:50 PM Tynedale Agricultural Society Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle Race over 2 miles 7 furlongs and 63 yards. It was Jeteye (IRE), partnered by Tom Midgley, who produced a determined performance to claim top honours in the Class 5 contest. Showing patience throughout the race, Midgley kept the gelding settled before asking for a challenge approaching the final hurdles. Jeteye responded impressively in the closing stages, staying on strongly to secure victory after a well-timed ride.

The staying contest demanded stamina and composure, qualities that Jeteye displayed throughout the race. The success marked another solid effort for the Irish-bred runner, who handled the testing trip with confidence and consistency. Connections were delighted with the performance as the horse continued to show improvement over hurdles.

At 6:20 PM, the Port of Blyth Handicap Steeple Chase over 1 mile 7 furlongs and 133 yards saw Conquer The Breeze (IRE) emerge victorious under Ryan Mania. The Class 4 chase was run at an honest pace, with several runners attempting to take command early on. However, Conquer The Breeze travelled smoothly throughout and produced a sharp jump at the final fence before quickening clear on the run-in.

Ryan Mania delivered a composed ride, ensuring the gelding maintained rhythm over the fences. The victory highlighted the horse’s growing confidence in steeplechase company and added another notable success to Mania’s evening at Hexham.

The 6:50 PM Port of Blyth Novices’ Handicap Steeple Chase over 2 miles 4 furlongs and 15 yards provided another exciting contest. Passengerontheship (IRE), ridden by Richie McLernon, showcased determination and improving jumping ability to land the Class 5 event. The novice chaser remained prominent throughout the race and handled the demanding fences with increasing assurance.

As the field turned for home, Passengerontheship began to assert authority, responding well under pressure to pull away in the closing stages. Richie McLernon’s confident ride ensured the horse maintained momentum, and the partnership proved too strong for their rivals.

The feature staying chase of the evening came at 7:20 PM in the Lynn Siddall Memorial Handicap Steeple Chase over 3 miles and 41 yards. West Lawn, partnered by Danny McMenamin, delivered a powerful staying display to capture the Class 5 event. The contest tested endurance from start to finish, with several runners struggling to maintain the demanding gallop.

West Lawn travelled comfortably through much of the race before making steady headway entering the final circuit. Danny McMenamin judged the pace perfectly and asked the gelding for maximum effort after the final fence. The response was immediate as West Lawn stayed on strongly to secure a deserved success.

Attention then turned to novice hurdlers at 7:50 PM in the Northumberland County Show Novices’ Hurdle Race over 2 miles 4 furlongs and 28 yards. Passing Diamond (IRE), once again giving Richie McLernon success on the evening, produced a polished display in the Class 4 contest.

The Irish-bred runner settled well early before gradually improving position approaching the final hurdles. Passing Diamond showed both stamina and maturity during the latter stages, eventually pulling clear to register an impressive victory. McLernon enjoyed an excellent evening at Hexham and continued his strong partnership with the yard through another confident performance.

The 8:20 PM Port of Blyth Handicap Hurdle Race over the same distance saw Banderas (IRE) continue the successful evening for Richie McLernon. Competing in the Class 4 handicap hurdle, Banderas travelled strongly throughout before producing a decisive late challenge.

The gelding showed plenty of determination approaching the final hurdle and battled gamely on the run to the line. McLernon’s tactical awareness once again proved crucial as he guided the horse into a perfect striking position before delivering the winning effort.

The concluding race at 8:50 PM, the Jason Arnup After Party 6th June Handicap Hurdle Race over 2 miles and 48 yards, brought the meeting to a close in dramatic fashion. Fine Point (IRE), ridden by Ryan Mania, finished the evening on a winning note with a determined display in the Class 5 contest.

Fine Point travelled prominently for much of the race and showed resilience when challenged late on by rivals. Ryan Mania kept the gelding focused in the closing stages, and the pair held on to complete a memorable success under the evening skies at Hexham.

Tuesday’s fixture once again demonstrated Hexham’s reputation for competitive and entertaining jumps racing. Several jockeys enjoyed multiple victories, with Richie McLernon and Ryan Mania both producing standout performances across the card. Racegoers were treated to an evening filled with strong staying efforts, promising novice displays, and thrilling finishes that highlighted the quality and excitement of National Hunt racing in the north of England.

Taking control approaching the final furlongs, the winner quickened away in decisive fashion, leaving rivals with too much ground to recover. The winner was ridden by Oisin Murphy, trained by Charlie Fellowes, and owned by Mr Laurence Holder. Capichera stayed on to finish second, with Runswick rounding off the top three after a consistent run.

Turning to the Fillies’ Stakes (Class 5), Wondrous Light displayed strong acceleration in the closing stages to secure victory in 1m 48.72s. Patiently ridden and delivered with precision, the winner found extra reserves when asked for a final effort. The horse was ridden by Rob Hornby, trained by Jonathan Portman, and owned by Shelmore Bloodstock and Partners. Volendam took second after a sustained challenge, while Stella Lucente finished third after maintaining a steady rhythm throughout.

In the concluding £9 Racedays at Nottingham Racecourse Stakes (Class 6), Sonic Si ended the programme on a positive note with a fluent and decisive performance in 1m 01.84s. Breaking well and travelling efficiently, the winner asserted in the latter stages to put the race beyond doubt. The horse was ridden by Rossa Ryan, trained by Tony Carroll, and owned by Mrs Veronica Gilbert. Bang On The Bell secured second place after a determined effort, while Charging Bull completed the frame in third after keeping on steadily.

Across the card, the overall pattern of the Nottingham Racecourse fixture reflected consistency, tactical patience, and timely finishing efforts, with several winners producing well-timed accelerations to make a decisive impact in the final stages.
