#Shades Of Rose

Tough day at Rosehill on Saturday with track conditions sure to play a major part however whatever the surface a lightly raced Chris Waller-trained galloper shapes as one of the day's better bets in the eighth race. RACE 1 Overview: Shalstar (3) was an impressive winner fresh and the stable have a good second-up strike rate with their horses. She…

Champion sprinter Nature Strip remains a short-priced favourite to go back-to-back in The Everest (1200m) after Tuesday's spectacular barrier draw despite copping the widest gate. The Chris Waller-trained gelding drew barrier 12 for the $15m feature race at Randwick which is typically not ideal, however, there are some suggestions this will allow…

3. Diabelli had a lot against him at Flemington on debut in the Maribyrnong Plate. He got back in a slowly run race down the straight where the winner slipped home in some of the fastest closing splits of the meeting. The son of Fastnet Rock was disappointed for a run late too. At start two he draws a soft gate to track the speed and James McDonald…

Tips and race by race preview by Nick Berney for Friday's Wyong meeting. Selections based on a soft track. Monitor for bias/pattern. 3. Notabadsuspect was honest first up at Goulburn 25 days ago, albeit drifting heavily in the market $5-$12 late in the trade.

Selections based on a heavy to soft track. Monitor for bias/pattern. 1. Northern Beaches resumes and won a recent trial at Rosehill in strong closing sectionals. Further, the colt wasn't extended and went through the line full of energy. First-up last preparation in an open two-year-old handicap (1200m) at Gosford, he had the pace/bias against him…

Trainer Gerald Ryan is aiming for Golden Eagle absentee Flying Crazy to catapult himself into another million dollar feature via Sunday's Goulburn Cup.

The finish of the Premiere Stakes proved champion Nature Strip will have some real competition for the $15m The TAB Everest in a fortnight.

The world's richest race on turf, The Everest (AU$15 million), will be staged for the sixth time this Friday night at Sydney's Royal Randwick. The wildly successful innovation, under a slot-holder format, has been brilliantly marketed and attracts a large crowd of significantly younger fans - the demographic that horse racing covets. This year's…

Derby Day at Flemington is one of the most famous days of racing in Australia. It used to be where the best horses in the country would gather, but it's status has been one of diminishing returns in recent years. The invention of the Golden Eagle in Sydney, and a reshuffling of the racing calendar across Cup week has meant the last day has more…

At eight years of age, most racehorses minds are turning toward a nice retirement in a grassy paddock, but for Nature Strip the good life can wait - he has a $6.2 million first-prize cheque to collect in Saturday's running of The Everest. And collect it he will if the betting markets are to be believed, with the ace sprinter installed as an odds-on…

This year's post…

The sixth running of The Everest is upon us, and we can't deny that it's the weakest edition yet. The problem with The Everest was always going to be when there was an outstanding dominant sprinter. It's a concept that couldn't have been launched when Black Caviar was around, for instance. What this race has always needed is competition, and it has…

Selections based on a good track. 11. Ring Ahoy was a drifter in the market first-up so expecting there's improvement to come on what was a handy first-up fourth here two weeks ago. If he can take some advantage of an inside gate and be that little bit closer he looks a good chance to be right in the finish. Dangers: 5. Stylised is a nicely bred…
