Darby Bloodstock had to wait three years after they bought Amortal to see him at the races but it was all worth it in the end. For all that his trainer Mark Newnham does know about the flashy chestnut, he, like his huge band of owners, is now waiting to see what Amortal's ceiling is. Amortal's first public appearance since the 2019 Magic Millions…

Sydney's superstar jockey James McDonald has dismissed speculation he is considering riding overseas long-term as he sets his sights on one of racing's most revered records.

Few would have ever expected to see De An Andretti going around at a midweeker at Warwick Farm a few days shy of Christmas but trainer Ron Quinton is just happy to have her back. The Gerry Harvey-owned sister to Libertini earned an atomic sized boom after her dazzling debut win at Hawkesbury on April 14 in 2021. So incredible was the performance…

Brookspire has gone from a dominant race favourite one week to almost be a forgotten runner the next. But jockey Jay Ford has suggested punters should be more forgiving of Brookspire going into the Group 3 $200000 Arrowfield Dark Jewel Classic (1400m) at the Scone stand-alone meeting on Saturday. The Chris Waller-trained Brookspire was all the rage…

Initially, I didn't need any race form for this project. Weights and measures count, like times and ratings, breeding, management and navigation. But racehorses appeal simply as individuals. Watching them run, walk, parade or simply stand is one of life's pleasures - and educations. Winston Churchill once said, "There is something about the outside…

Super Impose was a champion'miler' winning two Doncaster Handicaps along with two Epsom's. I had the pleasure of calling the historic Doncaster Mile 30 times, beginning with Bye Bye's win in 1969.
