Maltese Cross lunges late to claim Grand Prix de Paris title

July 15, 2026

William Haggas’ runner looked an unlikely winner when trapped on the rail.

Maltese Cross somehow defied bad luck in running to secure William Haggas’ first Grand Prix de Paris crown with a surging finish to complete a British one-two at ParisLongchamp.

Tom Marquand remained patient in a ride which continuously saw the son of Sea The Stars hit dead ends and it looked as though his race had been run as Charlie Johnston’s Ancient Egypt hit the front after Causeway’s front-running effort peeled off. Ancient Egypt continued to stride on at the three-furlong pole and Causeway’s fading challenge appeared to hinder Maltese Cross who had to switch off the inside rail. He was boxed in as the leader laid down his marker, but then the first opportunity finally came late on and an impressive turn of foot saw him squeeze through a gap to head Ancient Egypt in the final strides to land the Bastille Day Group One at a price of 14-5. The victory marked the first British success in this race since Hurricane Lane for Charlie Appleby in 2021, with Johnston’s charge clearly outrunning his outsider status at 22-1 to be narrowly denied. Mikel Dezangles’ Alam was a neck back in third, with Varandir, trained by Francis-Henri Graffard, a further head adrift in fourth. Assistant trainer Maureen Haggas went through all the emotions after victory in the French capital. “I thought he did really well, I thought he did unbelievably well to win the race from a fairly difficult position and he had a horse on his outside who was trying like hell to keep him in,” she told Sky Sports Racing. “But he does like something to aim at and he will squirm through a little hole, which he had to do today. “He’s tough and obviously got a really strong will to win, which is one of his greatest attributes. You need that will to win and you need a good horse to get themselves out of that type of trouble.” She added: “In a lot of ways, apart from the fact he won which was obviously the best thing, there are lots other things that were really pleasing and we always felt that the best was yet to come. “He’s going to be, hopefully, a really nice four-year-old. So for him to win a Group One today was fantastic.” Owner George Waud said: “That horse just time and time again delivers, and he delivers because he’s got all the ability, but he’s also got such a good brain. “I could see Tom stuck on the rail there and trying to figure out how he was going to get out and Maltese Cross made the space for him, he knew what was going on and he made the space, and boy did he come quick at the end. Wow!” He added: “Second in the Derby was one of the best days of my life and winning a Group One is comparable. “The most disappointing thing about not winning the Derby was that I couldn’t give Sam Haggas, who is William and Maureen’s son and my bloodstock agent, that moment. For his parents to have their son pull off something like that would have been amazing.” Johnston was proud of Ancient Egypt as he suffered another narrow defeat after going down by a neck to Causeway in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. “Above anything else, I’m proud of the horse. Once again he was completely underestimated, overlooked, outsider of the field,” he said. “The point that Causeway was 9-4 and we were 20-1, I think that’s a lack of respect for this horse and how good he is, and he nearly showed them all, just the last stride. “It was fantastic run, I’m very proud of him. He showed himself very much a Group One performer.” By Josh Luckhurst, Press Association

Peter Eyes Turffontein Treble

July 15, 2026

Trainer Tony Peter looks set for a hat-trick on Thursday at Turffontein with two promising three-year-old fillies and a stayer who looks ready to strike. In Race 5, a FM95 Handicap over 1600m, Rachel Venniker will be aboard Kensal Green for Peter. This daughter of Gimmethegreenlight has won three of her last five starts. Despite carrying top weight, she can go in again and Venniker’s 1.5kg sex allowance coulkd prove vital. Venniker has ridden Kensal Green twice – for a win and a third-place finish – so shed knows the filly well. They have drawn well in gate 4. The only concern is that Kensal Green is winless over the Turffontein Inside course in five runs, but she comes into the race primed to get it right. In Race 6, a MR72 Handicap over 2600m, Gavin Lerena will be doing duty for Peter aboard Euphrates. This gelded son of Wings Of Desire, who will be turning five on 1 August, will be having his third run after a break. Last time out, in a race where only three runners went to post, he finished just 4 lengths behind Enflame. The latter boasts a merit rating of 112 compared to the 70 of Euphrates, so despite finishing last of the three, that run proved Euphrates is more than capable of winning a race of this calibre. This time round, the average merit rating of the 11 runners is 64, so this signicant drop in class bodes well for Peter’s charge. In Race 7 a FM94 Handicap over 1200m, Venniker partners with Hathighwaytothesky for Peter. A two-time winner from seven runs, this daughter of Hat Puntano can be forgiven her last run when fading at the business end over 1200m at Greyville on the polytrack. That was her first run after a four-month break, so to say that she was inm need of the run, would be an understatement. Back on the Highveld, and stripping fitter, she ought to bounce back to close to her best. Hathighwaytothesky also has the added advantage of jumping from pole position – a very important factor over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course. Clive Robinson

Grima and Nock continue their premiership duel at Warwick Farm

July 14, 2026

Star young riders Siena Grima and Braith Nock continue their compelling duel for the coveted Sydney apprentices premiership at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

Nock has led the title race for most of the season but Grima has seized the momentum with a treble in Tazima, Perfect Justice and Benevac at Royal Randwick last Saturday that takes her to 33 wins and a three-win lead with just five meetings remaining. Grima has the backing of the all-powerful Chris Waller stable with four rides for the champion trainer at the midweek meeting including Aurora Boom ($7) in the opener, the Racing And Sports Plate (1100m). Her other rides for the Waller stable are Leonessa ($19) in the Robrick Lodge Plate (1100m), Snitzel Miss ($10) in the Asahi Super Dry Handicap (1400m) and Full Hao ($10) in the Ole Kirk At Vinery Stud Handicap (1600m). Grima rides the Tracey Bartley-trained Dusty Bay ($5) in the TAB Handicap (1400m), Ciaron Maher’s Stormland ($9.50) in the Irresistible Pools and Spas Handicap (1100m) and the Theresa Bateup-trained Brannum ($71) in the Agency Real Estate Handicap (1600m). Grima is poised to become only the fourth female apprentice after Rachel King (2017/18), Winona Costin (2014-15) and Kathy O’Hara (2004-05) to win the Sydney premiership. But Nock will be keen to reignite his title defence with six rides at Warwick Farm, all from different trainers, with his best chances probably the Mick Price and Michael Kent Junior-trained Deep Pleasure ($6) in the Ole Kirk At Vinery Stud Handicap, and Let’s Go Again ($7.50) for the Kerry Parker stable in the Irresistible Pools and Spas Handicap. Nock also partners Peter Snowden’s Divine Offering ($21) in the Racing And Sports Plate, Gone To Gowings ($23) for the Clarry Conners stable in the Robrick Lodge Plate, the Joel Wilkes-trained Danish Fortune ($13) in the Agency Real Estate Handicap and Voracious, trained by Mack Griffith, in the TAB Handicap. Nock is attempting to join an elite group to win multiple Sydney apprentice premierships this century. Zac Lloyd claimed successive Sydney titles in 2022-23 and 2023-24, as did Robbie Dolan (2018-19, 2019-20), Sam Clipperton (2012-13, 2013-14), and Mitch Newman claimed his second premiership in 2000-01 after winning the title in 1998-99. Waller, with 176 wins already this season, is also on a record chase at the Warwick Farm meeting. The Hall of Famer needs another 13 winners to equal his all-time record for most Sydney wins in a season when he prepared 189 winners in 2017-18. Waller is represented in five races tomorrow including Saloon Passage, the $3 favourite in the Asahi Super Dry Handicap. Article courtesy of Sky Racing

Bangkok Magic will have the right spell

July 14, 2026

Hollywoodbets Greyville hosts a competitive polytrack meeting on Wednesday, with small fields but no easy winners.

The feature is the Lucky Fish Silver Run Class, where Bangkok Magic looks capable of following up his impressive maiden success despite taking on older horses. Justin Snaith’s progressive two-year-old won convincingly at his second start and has the talent to handle the rise in class. Seven No Trump has useful Cape form and deserves respect on his local poly debut, while poly specialist United Nation may find this trip testing. Red Bomber, favourite at his last two starts, has been narrowly beaten both times and should again be in the mix.

The opener is tricky, with several lightly raced Cape visitors making their local debuts. Predator’s Crown has shown promise in two starts, while Blazing Belle should improve after needing her comeback run. Yeah Baby shaped encouragingly on debut and is expected to progress, while newcomer Interstellar is one to monitor in the betting.

The first leg of the Place Accumulator is wide open. Dancing In Demark has solid polytrack form and carries a light weight, while Peace Rose can follow up after enjoying the switch to the surface and a longer trip when breaking her maiden. Treasure Island, Gold Gold Baby and consistent Blue Poppy all have winning claims.

Princess Trippi looks one of the stronger bets on the card in the opening Pick 6 leg. Wendy Whitehead’s filly has been knocking on the door and boasts consistent form over this course and distance. Chooks Kiss is reliable on the poly, while Chihiro should improve after her first run on the surface.

Ebisu can continue her progress in Race 5 after an impressive winning poly debut for Lucinda Woodruff. Although she carries a higher rating, the extra furlong should suit. Golden Angel receives 4.5kg and rates the main danger after a string of good poly performances, while Sesame is much better off at the weights with a claiming apprentice aboard.

The next handicap is open, but Pembury appeals as an outsider after dropping in the ratings. Blinkers return and a 4kg claim further boosts his chances. Run To Rio, Pleasetoseeyou and Navajo Dancer are all genuine contenders.

Another competitive handicap follows, with Meerkat Moon narrowly beaten over course and distance last time and drawn ideally. Sail To The Moon has been knocking on the door, while William Of Orange has produced two solid post-maiden efforts. Music Of Life also merits respect despite a wide draw.

The finale could go the way of Victor Rail, who meets Bless Me Fred on much better weight terms after finishing within two lengths of him previously. Cappellino, now 1.5kg better off after chasing home Bless Me Fred last time, also has strong claims, while veteran Trafalgar Square continues to race consistently and should be competitive again.

Thesecretadversary adds Prix Jean Prat to Ascot gains

July 13, 2026

Fozzy Stack’s Jersey Stakes winner made all the running in France.

Royal Ascot hero Thesecretadversary scooped top honours in Deauville with a brilliant front-running success in the Prix Jean Prat.

Fozzy Stack’s Jersey Stakes scorer had previously fallen short when tackling Group One events, hitting trouble in running at Woodbine last year and also not showing his true colours in both the Newmarket and Curragh editions of the 2000 Guineas. However, with his tail-up and confidence high following victory over seven furlongs at the Royal meeting, he excelled once again at that distance under Christophe Soumillon who was deputising for usual pilot, the suspended Seamie Heffernan. Thesecretadversary was still full of running at the line as Aidan O’Brien’s running-on True Love finished strongly to make it an Irish-trained one-two. Christopher Head’s Nighttime was best of the home team in third. Stack said: “Christophe Soumillon gave him a superb ride. We were a little concerned about the pace of the race. He told me, ‘I think we’ll have to go on because nobody else seems willing to do it.’ I replied, ‘Go ahead’. Everything worked out perfectly. He had pulled too hard in the English Guineas, and in the Irish equivalent he never got a clear run. “We have always believed he was a good horse. When he then won the Jersey Stakes over seven furlongs at Ascot, Seamie Heffernan, who rode him that day, said he would be even better over six furlongs. Christophe Soumillon said exactly the same thing today. “He holds entries in the City of York Stakes, a Group One at York, as well as the Sprint Cup at Haydock. I will now discuss the options with the owners to see what they would like to do. Both partners (Rupert and Magnier families) are involved in the stallion business, so I will partly be guided by their long-term objectives.” The victory continues a fine run for Stack who also sent out exciting juvenile Nola Soul to win at Royal Ascot and Stack added: “If you said to me a month ago I would have had two Royal Ascot winners and then a Group One at Deauville I would have said ‘stop it’, it’s amazing.” By Press Association Sport Reporters

Grand Prix de Paris Set for International Showdown

July 13, 2026

Just seven runners will line up for Tuesday’s Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris (2,400m) at ParisLongchamp, but despite the compact field, the quality is exceptional with France, Britain and Ireland all represented in one of Europe’s premier staying tests for three-year-olds. The €600,000 feature is traditionally run on Bastille Day and has been won by champions such as Hurricane Lane, Japan, Kew Gardens, Feed The Flame and last year’s victor Leffard. This year’s renewal shapes as a fascinating clash between proven Classic performers and rapidly improving middle-distance prospects. British raider Maltese Cross heads across the Channel after a superb runner-up finish in the Epsom Derby. William Haggas has deliberately targeted this race since Epsom, believing the extra emphasis on stamina over 2,400 metres at ParisLongchamp could be ideal. He brings the strongest Classic form into the race and is sure to attract plenty of support. Ireland is represented by the Aidan O’Brien-trained Causeway, who has won five of his six career starts and announced himself as a genuine Group 1 contender with victory in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot. Ballydoyle has an outstanding record in the Grand Prix de Paris, having won the race with Imperial Monarch, Kew Gardens, Japan and Mogul, making Causeway a major player. The home team, however, is far from short of talent. Varandir remains unbeaten in three starts and stamped himself as one of France’s brightest staying prospects when taking the Prix Hocquart over this course and distance. Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard for the Aga Khan operation, he has done little wrong and now steps onto the biggest stage of his career. Alam has perhaps flown slightly under the radar. Trained by Mikel Delzangles, the Prix Greffulhe winner produced an eye-catching finish when fifth in a high-quality Prix du Jockey Club after overcoming a difficult barrier draw. Connections believe the return to 2,400 metres will suit perfectly, while champion jockey Pierre-Charles Boudot takes over in the saddle for the first time. Limestone arrives as another progressive stayer after capturing the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot and now gets the opportunity to test himself at the highest level over a similar distance. His proven stamina makes him an intriguing contender if the tempo is genuine. The remaining pair, Ancient Egypt and Space Waltz, complete a field where every runner brings legitimate credentials. Ancient Egypt has consistently performed in quality company throughout the season, while Space Waltz represents connections with an outstanding historical record in this race and cannot be dismissed in what appears an open renewal. With Derby form, Royal Ascot winners and France’s emerging staying stars all converging on ParisLongchamp, Tuesday’s Grand Prix de Paris promises to be one of the strongest editions of recent years. Whether it is Maltese Cross looking to convert elite Classic form into Group 1 success, Causeway continuing Ballydoyle’s remarkable record, or unbeaten French hope Varandir defending home honours, racing fans are set for a fascinating international contest. As always, iRACE will have comprehensive form, statistics and race analysis available for one of France’s premier races. By Scott Bailey – iRACE

Big guns all stand their ground for July Cup cracker

July 10, 2026

By Press Association Sport Reporters Venetian Sun will face 10 rivals as she bids to plant her flag at the summit of the sprinting division in the Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai July Cup at Newmarket on Saturday. Karl Burke’s filly has already made a significant impact since returned to sprinting following a Guineas campaign, winning the Group Two Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock and the Group One Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. But if she is to mark herself as something out of the ordinary the Starman filly now has to do it against her elders in a high-class field. Newmarket’s July meeting feature has attracted the winners of both of the other big sprints at Royal Ascot in Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes winner Almeraq (William Haggas) and King Charles III Stakes winner Mission Central (Aidan O’Brien). Rapidly-improving Wokingham Handicap winner Double Rush will take his chance, while Japanese raider Satono Reve, narrowly denied by Almeraq at the Royal meeting, and last year’s runner-up Big Mojo both bring strong credentials to the table. The Haggas-trained Division, just three-quarters of a length behind Venetian Sun in the Commonwealth Cup, Donnacha O’Brien’s Comanche Brave, Coppull, reliable six-year-old Quinalt and Prince Of India complete the line-up. Venetian Sun looks to still have a significant upside in terms of sprinting potential and gets weight from all her rivals. Almeraq, the horse nearly killed in a fall which put a temporary halt to jockey Jim Crowley’s career at York last summer, has to give 9lb to the Burke runner, while fellow three-year-old Mission Central concedes 3lb to Clifford Lee’s mount. Highly-rated Curragh scorer Abraham Lincoln looks set to go off odds on in the Group Two Boodles Superlative Stakes on the July Cup undercard following a promising debut victory at the Curragh at the end of last month. He faces decent opposition in the shape of Godolphin’s Al Hudaiba, a comfortable winner over course and distance last month, and Pikachu, fifth in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot behind Nola Soul. Just 15 go to post for the £100,000-added Betway Bunbury Cup with Ian Williams’s Aalto and Charlie Hills’ Elarak towards the front end of the betting for the seven-furlong handicap.

Precise target of Falmouth Stakes for O’Brien

July 10, 2026

By Nick Robson With Aidan O’Brien chasing down his own world record of 28 Group One winners in a year, Precise is aiming to do her bit by claiming a third top-level victory of the season in the Tattersalls Sceptre Sessions Falmouth Stakes. While she may have disappointed when favourite for the 1000 Guineas, she looked a different proposition in the Irish equivalent, despite Ryan Moore switching to Newmarket winner True Love. Moore got back on Precise at Royal Ascot, where she was a fairly dominant winner of the Coronation Stakes and with True Love heading to France for the Prix Jean Prat this weekend, the coast could be clear for Precise to continue her winning run on Friday. “We always thought last year that she would be happy going further, but while it is going so well over a mile we see no reason to change it yet,” said O’Brien. “We’ve split the two good fillies up this time. True Love is going to France for the Prix Jean Prat at the weekend so she’s dropping down in trip. We just thought she’d be comfortable doing that. “We’ve been very happy with Precise since the Coronation and hopefully she runs well.” Another filly to win at Royal Ascot was Andrew Balding’s Blue Bolt. She was successful in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes and steps back up to the highest level having finished second in the Sun Chariot last autumn. Balding told Tattersalls: “We’ve been very happy with Blue Bolt since Ascot. “We were delighted with her performance there and she also ran very well on the Rowley Mile at the back end of last year. “I don’t think the track will be a problem for her and she seems in great form, but it’s obviously a strong Group One, as it should be. “We’re just keeping everything crossed that she can perform to the same level she did at Ascot.” Donnacha O’Brien’s Balantina was a Breeders’ Cup winner at the end of last season and did not reappear until a creditable fifth in the Coronation Stakes. “Balantina is in good form, and everything has gone to plan since Ascot,” said her trainer. “We think she has improved a decent amount since that run. The track and trip should suit her at Newmarket, so we’re looking forward to it and think she’ll run a big race.” Karl Burke’s Evolutionist was second to True Love in the 1000 Guineas before being stepped her up in trip for the Prix de Diane. “Looking at the prices, I think the bookmakers have overlooked her,” Burke said. “If she runs back to her Guineas form, and she’s a winner on the July course as well, she broke her maiden on the July course. I’m looking forward to running her. “As well as being in season when she ran in the Prix de Diane, I don’t think she really stayed that trip either. Nothing went right. “She was showing a lot more speed in her work leading up to the French Oaks so we sort of had a question mark going into that on trip and so we’ll find out a lot more on Friday.” Venetian Lace filled the places in the 1000 Guineas and then headed to Epsom for the Oaks but she was beaten a long way out and was not in love with the soft ground. Charlie Johnston said: “It was a disappointing run in the Oaks but you can put a complete line through that. She hated the ground; she’s very much a fast-ground filly. “The owners were keen off the back of that for her to come back to a mile and this was the obvious choice. She’s been placed in two Group Ones over a mile at Newmarket so conditions should be ideal for her. “Precise sets a very high standard, but we’re hopeful that our filly will run a big race.”

Race for the Trainers’ Championship: Fownes bids to sharpen his advantage

July 10, 2026

The final week of the Hong Kong racing season is upon us, and Caspar Fownes has all but secured a fifth trainers’ championship after holding his rivals at bay during a pulsating finish to the 2025/26 campaign. While the title race was neck and neck for months, Fownes has taken control in recent weeks, and he maintains some breathing room heading into the term’s final two fixtures – this Sunday’s (12 July) 11-race card at Sha Tin and Wednesday’s (15 July) nine-race finale at Happy Valley. Fownes, who sits on 69 victories and holds a six -win lead over nearest rival Danny Shum, has a string of opportunities to further increase his buffer this weekend.

Papaya Brose is a steady performer for Caspar Fownes.

Last-start winners Papaya Brose and Silver Spurs will chase consecutive victories, with Papaya Brose rising in grade for the Class 3 Joy And Fun Handicap (1200m) and Silver Spurs out to overcome another wide draw in the second section of the Class 4 Victory Marvel Handicap (1200m) after a string of double-figure alleys. Daily Trophy, Sky Vino and Monarch County will also carry reasonable form into their respective assignments, while Fownes will hope Sagacious Life can take a significant step forward in the Class 1 Hong Kong Racehorse Owners Association Trophy (1600m). Third at the course and distance in his first start for Fownes on 6 June, the Brazilian Group 1 winner looks well placed to give the late-season feature a shake after twice winning over the Sha Tin mile earlier this season.

Helene Feeling is one of the major contenders in the Class 1 Hong Kong Racehorse Owners Association Trophy.

Shum will also have a presence in the season’s final Class 1 thanks to Helene Feeling, but his weekend winning chances look to lie elsewhere. Packing Fighter is edging towards his first Hong Kong success after doing everything but win when finishing second at his last start, and he looks well placed in the Class 4 Solar Hei Hei Handicap (1600m), while Massive Reward was a big improver last start and further progress will ensure he is a big player in the Class 4 Medic Kingdom Handicap (1400m). Mark Newnham (60 winners) is the other trainer who holds an outside chance of sailing past Fownes late but the Australian will need to convert a handful of his seven runners this Sunday into victories. Last-start winner Lucky Sam Gor could oblige in the Class 3 Sight Winner Handicap (1600m), while Oldtown is racing in top form ahead of his run in the Victory Marvel Handicap. Trainers’ Ranking (Top 6) – As of 9 July, 2026

July 11 Selangor Preview By Mark Lydeamore

July 10, 2026

With the 4YO Selangor Mile to be contested in two weeks, fourteen nominees for the One Million Ringgit feature will be stepping out at the Selangor Turf Club’s meeting this Saturday. Whilst some runners are guaranteed a start it will be their final hit out to maintain form and fitness before the July 26 grand final. However, there is a bracket of starters on the threshold of gaining a run with a heavy reliance on their results and performances this weekend. With sixteen runners plus four emergencies, there is a chance for a select few to improve their ratings and move into the top echelon of qualifiers. The 1600m Class 2 (Race 4) will carry the most interest as no less than seven of the ten runners have been nominated for the mile feature. Trainer Frank Maynard has two engaged and both have genuine chances. DUMA has only placed over the mile previously but has the points to qualify for a start while stable mate TREES OF VALINOR is rated 21st. Both horses finished 4th and 8th respectively in the 4YO Sprint Championship contested on June 28. TREES OF VALINOR is a genuine chance of winning which will ensure enough points for a guaranteed start. However, the New Zealand bred gelding can automatically go through based on his win in the 3YO Mile Championship twelve months ago, his only attempt at the 1600m trip. The Bankers Stable are likely to be represented by up to six runners in the Selangor Mile and BANKER’S BEAUTIFUL, with 67 points, is the lowest-rated of the Bankers contingent. The mare has the points in the bank to guarantee a start and could be a chance in Saturday’s contest judging by her fast finishing third in a 1300m Supreme B last start. Of the remaining Selangor Mile aspirants engaged in Race 4, AQUITAINE improved his chances for qualification after breaking through in Class 4 company and is rated 15th with 66 points. CITY GOLD LOYALTY (18th) is starting for the second time in the country but has won up to 1900m in Australia. NAVARRE failed once over the mile in a Class 3 recently and is on the borderline of qualifying. ANJOU CROWN is making a late charge to make the cut after breaking its maiden tag in a Class 3 event last Sunday. The gelding is currently rated 26th (61 pts) and may have to win on the seven-day backup to qualify. TO REMEMBER has struggled in three starts this campaign and is unlikely to gain a run. Two horses also pursuing spots in the Selangor Mile will clash in the 1400m Class 3 contest (Race 5). ARTOIS with a 61 rating may have to win to qualify but is a chance of doing that following his effortless victory at Ipoh on June 27. He will clash with SMASHED AVO which is aiming for the hat trick and has the potential to rise up the ranks. SMASHED AVO may fall short to qualify with 57 points for the Mile but is rated as the Irace best bet for the day judging by his easy Class 4 win over 1400m on June 21. The gelding scored by 2.75L on the upgrade and has matured and become stronger with race experience. STORM TITAN (67 pts) will have enough points to start in the Selangor Mile and looks a winning chance on his race track return in the 1100m Class 2 contest (Race 9). The gelding won four from nine last preparation and his excellent first up record (3:2-0-0) places him in good stead for a positive result. FORTUNE RISING, locally unbeaten in two starts, also resumes after recently joining the stables of HY Cheng. The horse had been contesting some of the highly sought after three year old races in Australia early in his career which produced two victories prior to arriving in Malaysia. His return to the track will be highly anticipated also. EASTERN BARRACKS on current ratings and form is unlikely to make the final cut in the Selangor Mile but is a chance on the distance rise in the 1600m Class 4 (Race 3). Although he received every chance when finishing 2nd over 1020m last Sunday, he looks a better prospect over the middle distance. The only query is EASTERN BARRACKS has only placed up to 1600m while FAMILY DELIGHT, a recent 1275m winner, is proven over the journey after scoring over the mile here early last year.

Anotherdanceforme to thwart raiders

July 9, 2026

After many weeks on the Polytrack, we finally return to turf racing, and there are some good feature races on this card. Star Eastern Cape filly Anotherdanceforme takes her place in Race 7, the East Cape Paddock Stakes (Listed) over 1600m, but there is a field of 15 runners carded for this race. There are also some Western Cape-trained runners set to make the trip. Alan Greeff-trained Anotherdanceforme has won nine of her 10 starts. The daughter of Master Of My Fate scared away most of her rivals and was an easy and impressive East Cape Derby winner in May. That was on the Polytrack over 2200m, and she drops in distance for this race. She has, however, won both her starts over this particular course and distance and has also been seen to good effect on soft tracks. Regular rider Richard Fourie has seven wins from eight rides aboard. All of that suggests she will be hard to beat, but there are a couple of obstacles she will need to overcome this time around. Drawn widest of all in stall No 15, and the fact that she gives weight to all her rivals, could see her having to work extra hard. Greeff has five other runners carded, and the best of them could be Splicethemainbrace and Enchanting Choice, but one cannot rule out Silva City. There are also some Western Cape rivals with ability who could pose threats. Roccapina represents trainer Candice Bass and will have JP van der Merwe in the saddle. She is fit and is well enough drawn. Ice Rain is even better drawn in stall No. 3, and Serino Moodley should get a decent ride aboard her. Swiatek has lost some of her sparkle of late, but the Snaith stable usually does well when raiding this centre, and she is not out of it. The Port Elizabeth Gold Cup (Non-Black Type) over 3200m is the other feature race on this card, and it should produce an exciting finish. Bad Medicine has won five of his starts at this centre since joining trainer Kelly Mitchley, including over 2800m in April, so he will be many people’s idea of the likely winner. The Vercingetorix gelding goes a bit further this time around and was only a 0.50-length winner that day over his rival in this race, Home Reef. That particular runner won this race last year and must be respected for that. Bournemouth, who represents the Greeff-Fourie combination, has tried twice to win this race and was runner-up a couple of years ago. He does his best under Fourie. The runner who could upset all three, however, is Gentleman Joe. The Andre Nel-trained seven-year-old gelding receives a lot of weight from those runners, and although he has not gone this far before, he has won over 2500m, and Moodley knows how to get the best out of this gelding.

Corrupt, Staggerwing rate strong runners for De Kock team

Competitive racing on the go with an 8-race programme to satiate horseplayers at Turffontein on the Inside track this Thursday. Father and son team of Mike and Matthew De Kock have two with solid chances. Corrupt could be the winning stayer of his heat while Staggerwing can follow up over the minimum distance in the last. Corrupt took a while to get back to winning ways but now that he has, he can notch up more wins for his in-form yard. The gelded son of Erupt is facing a slightly lower grade in Race 3 after winning an MR96 handicap when dropping to a merit rating of 81 last time. He has gone up only 3 points in merit ratings and is only 2kg worse off with stalwart stayer Battleground who finished 4.30-lengths behind him and who should again have his work cut out. Corrupt is ridden by leading rider Keagan De Melo and jumps from a favourable barrier of draw two. Staggerwing, a filly by Rafeef out of a Var mare, was always going to have plenty of speed but she has also shown she can mix it with some of the best around. She finished runner-up to precocious filly Get Up who recently captured the Grade 2 Alan Robertson in style and she was also fourth placed in the Ruffian Stakes behind another high-class sort in Secretary Bird. It was no surprise to see her run out an easy winner of her maiden last time, but she can also follow up on her handicap debut in Race 8 where she meets some hard knocking but mostly exposed individuals. Ridden by stable rider Callan Murray the two-year-old has a slightly wide gate but her running style suggests she can get there especially against the type of company she meets. One for the exactas must be Power Of Pearls who was a gallant third at this track with a scalp wound last time. She has drawn better than she did in her last start and has talented 1.5kg claiming Mickaelle Michelle in the irons again. For a bit of value, it could be worth following both Nicolson Landing and Destiny’s Dream in Race 2 especially in bets like swingers, exactas and trifectas. The pair may not be fancied as both have drawn a bit wide but likely favourite Knockin’ Boots has also drawn wide. Knockin’ Boots certainly has scope but she is a two-year-old and she may have her work cut out against her elders over 1450m at this stage in her career. Nicolson Landing and Destiny’s Dream are well weighted off their current ratings and could take advantage. However, it is the former that could bag a win after she was only beaten a neck after coming from well off the pace over the distance last time. Apostrophe (Race 5) is another runner with plenty in her favour including a plum draw. She has an eachway shout. Clive Robinson
