Pedicel (AUS) 2 f Redoute’s Choice – Cleanup by Dehere
Having her first start, Pedicel was eased from barrier nine and settled back in sixth place by James McDonald. The filly had to be coaxed along due to the quick early tempo before improving nearing the home turn. She responded well, hitting the front at the 100 metre mark and fought back for a head...

Opportunities could be plentiful for Australasian breeders in Korea
The very fact that the conference was held in Seoul and its level of accompanying prestige could well aid the Korean Racing Authority in their dealings with a government which is believed to be more sympathetic to racing than its predecessor.

It’s not perfect but Asian Racing Conference more than just a talking shop
However that view is wrong. There were several excellent presentations at this week’s conference and I can parochially note that two of the most engaging were from Australians – demographer Bernard Salt and academic and lawyer Stacey Steele. Neither, of course, specialises in horse racing and the ‘outside’ perspective – which was also offered by... Read More

With a record of 12 starts for eight wins and four seconds since finishing eighth in the A J Moir Stakes (Gr 1, 1000m) at Moonee Valley on 30 September 2016, it was hardly surprising that Redzel went out a firm favourite to win his second successive Doomben 10,000 on Saturday. All was going well... Read More
