Southwell Racecards 4 March all-weather meeting preview at Southwell Racecourse

Feature Sprint and Stamina Test Frame Southwell’s Engaging Nine-Race Bill

All-weather action takes centre stage at Southwell (Flat – AWT) on Wednesday, 4 March, with a competitive nine-race programme featuring a blend of handicaps, classified contests, novice company and a stamina-testing finale. With races ranging from sharp sprint distances to an extended two miles, the card offers opportunities for specialists across varying trips and classes, highlighted by a valuable Class 3 handicap and an intriguing novice stakes contest.

The afternoon begins at 1:32pm with The Handicap Stakes (Class 6) over 1m 13y. Nine runners line up for the £9,000 contest, where consistency and tactical positioning around Southwell’s turning mile track are likely to prove decisive. In a competitive Class 6 event, fine margins could separate the field, particularly among exposed performers seeking to capitalise on workable marks.

Race 2 at 2:02pm sees another division of The Handicap Stakes (Class 6), again staged over 1m 13y with nine runners competing for £9,000. Similar conditions mean race tactics will again play a crucial role, with prominent racers often enjoying an advantage on the all-weather surface. With identical trip and class conditions, this second division promises another tightly knit contest.

The 2:32pm third race features The Classified Stakes (Class 6) over 1m 13y. Nine runners go to post for the £6,000 prize. Classified company often levels the playing field by grouping horses of similar ratings, creating unpredictable finishes. Expect a strongly run race where late closers could come into contention in the final furlong.

At 3:02pm, Race 4 presents another division of The Classified Stakes (Class 6) over the same mile trip. Eight runners contest this £6,000 event, and with a slightly smaller field, pace control could be even more influential. Horses stepping down from handicap company may find this assignment more favourable.

Race 5 at 3:32pm is The Handicap Stakes (Class 6), again over 1m 13y with nine runners competing for £6,000. By this stage of the card, course specialists with proven all-weather form could hold the upper hand. The mile contests throughout the afternoon provide continuity, but subtle differences in race tempo may shape outcomes differently in each division.

The feature race on the card is Race 6, The Class 3 Handicap Stakes at 4:02 pm, a contest over 4f 215y worth £15,200 and attracting a competitive field of 11 runners. Leading contenders include Fivethousandtoone under Sean Kirrane for trainer Tim Easterby, Gaeli partnered by Jack Gilligan for Marco Botti, and Pilgrim ridden by Lewis Edmunds for David and Nicola Barron. Azure Angel represents Edward Bethell with Kevin Stott in the saddle, while Equality carries the hopes of Charles Hills and Rob Hornby.

The line-up is further strengthened by Baldomero for Michael Appleby and Joanna Mason, Rhythm N Hooves trained by Robert Cowell and ridden by James Sullivan, and Ziggy’s Triton from the David O’Meara yard with David Nolan aboard. Venture Capital gives Kevin Ryan another strong chance under Shane Gray, Spring Is Sprung is partnered by Oisin Murphy for Paul Midgley, and Mon Na Slieve completes the field for Kevin Ryan with Jack Callan claiming. With several proven course-and-distance performers and ratings headed by Fivethousandtoone and Gaeli on 96, the sprint promises to be the highlight of the afternoon card.

Race 7 at 4:32pm, The Novice Stakes (Class 3), steps up significantly in distance to 1m 3f 24y. Eleven runners contest the £12,000 prize, and as a novice event, it provides a platform for progressive types to showcase their potential. With stamina now coming into play, pedigree and race fitness could be decisive factors as lightly raced contenders look to make their mark.

The penultimate contest at 5:07pm is The Fillies’ Handicap Stakes (Class 4) over 1m 3f 23y. Six fillies line up for £9,500 in prize money. A smaller field may result in a tactical affair, with positioning and patience crucial over this intermediate distance. Fillies in improving form could take advantage of favourable weight allocations in this competitive Class 4 event.

The card concludes at 5:40pm with The Handicap Stakes (Class 4) over a stamina-demanding 2m 2f 98y. Ten runners will compete for £9,500 in a race that tests endurance and determination. Over this extended trip, race rhythm and energy conservation become critical, and proven stayers are likely to thrive in the closing stages.

Overall, Wednesday’s meeting at Southwell offers a well-balanced mix of competitive handicaps and developmental contests. From the early mile handicaps to the feature sprint and concluding staying test, the all-weather card promises an engaging afternoon of flat racing action for racing enthusiasts alike.

Premier Yearling Sale action at Oaklands with leading colts in the ring

Oaklands Closes on a High as Premier Sale Finds New Depth

The 2026 Premier Yearling Sale concluded on a strong note at Oaklands, with vibrant Book 2 trade drawing the curtain on a memorable three days in Melbourne. In a market that continues to test confidence and resilience, this year’s renewal produced figures that spoke of steady growth and deep-rooted demand across multiple tiers of the catalogue.

Across the week, the 2026 Premier Yearling Sale generated a gross of $68,594,000, representing an increase of more than $8.5 million, or 14 per cent, on the corresponding stage last year. The improvement was not confined to headline numbers. A total of 283 yearlings sold for $100,000 or more, marking a 22 per cent rise year on year, while the volume of horses realising $200,000-plus and $300,000-plus also climbed by 15 and 17 per cent respectively.

Book 1 set the tone. Its average rose to $144,569, the median advanced to $120,000 and the clearance rate lifted to 81 per cent, each figure reflecting year-on-year gains. Book 2 maintained the momentum, posting a clearance rate of 78 per cent and a gross of $7,154,000, ensuring the week closed with consistency rather than tapering off.

Depth and Confidence Mark the 2026 Premier Yearling Sale

One of the defining features of the 2026 Premier Yearling Sale was the breadth of participation. Inspection days were well attended, and that energy translated into sustained competition once yearlings entered the ring. The diversity at the top of the market underlined the sale’s appeal, with the 12 highest-priced lots all by different stallions and drawn from a wide range of service fees, reinforcing the notion that opportunity existed at multiple price points.

Gilgai Farm finished as leading vendor, selling all 13 yearlings offered for an aggregate of $3,740,000 in what was described as a flawless draft. Bell River Thoroughbreds recorded the highest average among vendors selling three or more lots, returning $301,250 across four yearlings, each successfully placed.

On the buyers’ table, Ciaron Maher Racing led Book 1 with 13 purchases made in conjunction with various partners. Lindsay Park followed closely with 12 acquisitions, while Clinton McDonald Racing, alongside Shane McGrath, secured 11 lots.

The final day’s top honours were shared by two colts, each realising $220,000. An Extreme Warrior colt out of Who’s Zooming Who, offered by Rosemont Stud, was purchased by Lloyd Kennewell in partnership with Group One Bloodstock and SP Bloodstock. Kennewell spoke highly of the colt’s physical presence, noting that respected judges had rated him among the elite handful of colts in the catalogue.

Rosemont’s Anthony Mithen revealed the colt had attracted sustained attention throughout inspections, rarely spending long in his box during parades, such was the level of interest.

Matching that figure was the Zousain colt out of Cavalry Rose, consigned by Blue Gum Farm on behalf of Hillside Downs and secured by Taiwanese-based entity Elysian. Blue Gum’s Sean Dingwall described the result as a fitting outcome for a colt who had consistently impressed with his type and presence during the week.

Statistically, Book 1 saw 587 lots catalogued, with 423 sold at an 81 per cent clearance rate. The average settled at $144,569, the median at $120,000 and the gross reached $61,442,000. Book 2 offered 227 lots, with 157 sold at a 78 per cent clearance rate, an average of $45,567, a median of $37,500 and a gross of $7,154,000.

As the barns begin to empty and attention shifts to upcoming fixtures on the bloodstock calendar, Oaklands can reflect on a week that confirmed the 2026 Premier Yearling Sale as one of the Southern Hemisphere’s strongest performing yearling auctions of the season. The steady lift in benchmarks, combined with broad participation and diversity at the top end, suggests the sale’s upward trajectory remains firmly intact.

Gilgai Farm Leads Premier Sale with Too Darn Hot colt at Oaklands

Gilgai Farm Dominates Premier Sale as Oaklands Yearling Market Soars

An extraordinary performance from leading Victorian nursery Gilgai Farm capped off a thrilling Premier Sale Book 1 at Oaklands, where soaring prices and strong competition marked the second day of the elite yearling auction. The results underline why this sale continues to attract the best breeders and buyers from across Australia and abroad.

Gilgai Farm secured the top two lots – and four of the top six – at the conclusion of Day 2, cementing its position as the leading vendor. Across Book 1, the sale gross reached $60,707,000, up 15% on last year, with a median of $120,000 (up 20%) and an average of $146,990 (up 5%).

The standout of the day was a Too Darn Hot x Baveno colt (lot 499) from Gilgai, which was snapped up by X Bloodstock for $750,000. Gilgai’s Kelly Skillecorn said the colt’s strong appeal had been clear since foalhood, but even he was amazed by the competitive bidding.

“Ever since he was a foal we’ve had people turning up trying to buy him but we’ve wrapped him up for here at Inglis Premier. It’s a lot of money, we’re most grateful,” Skillecorn said. “This sale just keeps going forward. Group 1 winners come out of here every year, and the results speak for themselves.”

X Bloodstock, which secured four colts during Book 1, praised the strategy and planning that led to their purchases. “It has been a long-term plan to attend Inglis Premier and work with James Price to identify the best colts in the sale,” a spokesperson said. “Lot 499 was an absolute athlete – scope, strength, and temperament.”

The day’s second-highest lot was Gilgai’s Kermadec x Turaath filly (lot 419), purchased by Astute Bloodstock and Ciaron Maher Racing for $625,000. Astute also acquired the prior lot, a Written By x Tune Doubt filly, for $450,000.

“Part of our strategy is to buy elite fillies that can compete in Stakes races and then return through broodmare sales,” said Astute’s Louis Le Metayer. “When you’re buying from a farm like Gilgai, you know you’re getting a better chance.”

Skillecorn added praise for the top fillies, noting that both are now in capable hands and poised for bright futures.

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch described the atmosphere at Oaklands as “plenty of fun and exceptionally rewarding,” noting the global diversity of the buying bench, with participation from Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, Vietnam, and around Australia.

Book 2 of the Premier Yearling Sale concludes tomorrow with 227 lots scheduled to go under the hammer, beginning at 10am. For those unable to attend, Sale Day Live coverage will stream from 9:30am on the Inglis website and social channels.

Wish List crossing the finish line at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth for the Lucky Fish Cape Derby

Summer Festival Finale: Wish List Makes History in Lucky Fish Cape Derby

The Cape Summer Festival of Racing closed out in spectacular fashion at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth as Wish List etched her name in history, becoming the first filly to win the prestigious Lucky Fish Cape Derby since 1999. The 26-year wait ended in style, as the Gr 1 contest for three-year-olds showcased the depth of talent in South Africa’s filly division while providing a festival atmosphere that thrilled thousands.

Wish List’s victory was a commanding one, finishing ahead of Note To Self in second, with Viva’s Liberty securing third just ahead of Star Major. The race, run on 28 February 2026, formed the centerpiece of the Lucky Fish Cape Derby Seafood & Jazz Festival, an event that blended elite racing with lively entertainment, fresh local seafood, and family activities. Approximately 3,000 guests enjoyed the afternoon under the summer sun, taking in performances from Jarrad Ricketts, Selwyn & Roy, Simply Strings, and Al Petersen, alongside markets, jumping castles, petting zoos, and pony rides on Topdeck, the gentle Welsh stallion.

Wish List’s Historic Gr 1 Triumph

On the track, Wish List delivered a flawless performance, confirming her class among this season’s three-year-olds. Trainer and jockey teams alike praised her composure and stamina, noting that her win not only ended a long filly drought in the Cape Derby but also positioned her as a leading contender for the upcoming Hollywoodbets Durban July. The race highlighted how Gr 1 contests continue to be stepping stones for South Africa’s rising stars in thoroughbred racing.

Off the track, the festival element brought a unique vibrancy to Kenilworth. Lucky Fish, celebrating almost one year in business, ensured a fusion of racing excitement and lifestyle experiences. Guests savoured a variety of seafood offerings, explored the lively market, and enjoyed live jazz music in a family-friendly setting.

Vishen Naidoo, Commercial Manager for Lucky Fish, remarked, “Capping the season at Kenilworth with the Seafood & Jazz Festival alongside the Lucky Fish Cape Derby has been phenomenal. The raw thrill of top-level racing paired with music, food, and family fun created a perfect summer finale. The turnout has been electric, and we’re thrilled to support South Africa’s racing ecosystem in such a meaningful way.”

Stephen Marshall, Events & Marketing Executive at Race Coast, added, “Lucky Fish brought a fresh, dynamic energy to the Cape Derby. The event blended high-class Gr 1 racing with festival entertainment, drawing new audiences to the sport while celebrating tradition. This is exactly the kind of collaboration that elevates horse racing in the Western Cape and beyond.”
