A dominant display at Rosehill Gardens has strengthened Michael Freedman's autumn hand, with promising colt Outspan stamping himself as one to watch for the Golden Slipper after a polished performance in the Bisley Workwear 2YO Handicap (1100m) on Saturday. According to punters.com, the Godolphin-bred son of Bivouac, who hinted at his ability with an eye-catching debut a fortnight earlier, delivered on the early promise by surging to a decisive win under Sam Clipperton. There was a swell of market confidence for Outspan in the lead-up, with punters backing him from $4.80 into $3.30 favourite before the jump. Positioned perfectly just off the speed, Outspan tracked Written In Munny as the field swung for home. With the leader kicking a couple of lengths clear at the top of the straight, Clipperton wasted no time shifting his colt off the fence and angling into open air, asking for an effort inside the final 200m. The response was immediate. Outspan, showing both professionalism and acceleration, swept past the fading leader and quickly asserted control. He pulled away late to score by a length and a quarter over Ciaron Maher's Long Throw, with Miss Chanel, representing the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott partnership, finishing a further half length away in third. The performance was a clear signal that Outspan, who had shown promise but met trouble in running on debut, is trending in the right direction with bigger targets in sight. Freedman's stable representative Sophie Johnson was full of praise after the race. "It was excellent, really good to see," she said. "I said pre-race, he came on a lot from that last start and Sam was able to get him the perfect position behind the lead. We figured they would have rolled forward just to give him that little bit of a pull into the race and he settled really well actually. He was able to come off heels and finish off strong." Clipperton, who has partnered Outspan in both runs, believes the best is still to come. "He had a beautiful educational run last start and I was a bit flat on myself because I thought I got it wrong," he said. "In the end it turned out to be lovely grounding for the horse for him to bounce today and from a good draw he executed really well. He is pretty sharp but I do feel six furlongs, probably even seven furlongs will be right up his alley but he is a classy colt and is in the right colt to get him further down the road." Outspan hails from the immediate family of champion Lonhro. He is the second of Godolphin's two-year-olds to hit the track this season, and the first to salute for Freedman since Godolphin's move to a public training model. Bookmakers reacted swiftly, slashing Outspan's Golden Slipper price from $101 to $34, and connections are content to let the colt progress at his own pace as the campaign unfolds.

Doyle Family Celebrates En Masse at Trentham
Weekend, 19th January 2026
A special Trentham occasion delivered an emotional milestone for Irish jockey Joe Doyle, who piloted Doctor Askar to a heart-stopping win in the Gr2 Harcourts Thorndon Mile (1600m) on Saturday, with his parents watching from the stands. The moment was as much about family as it was about racing, reports racingnews.co.nz. with Doyle's loved ones on hand to witness one of his biggest New Zealand victories to date. Little separated the field for much of the run, and Doyle found himself with only three runners behind as they swung for home. Opting for the wider route, he produced Doctor Askar at exactly the right time, reeling in Marotiri Molly to score by half a head in a desperate finish. Reflecting on the ride, Doyle said, "I got a good drag into it off Pitman's horse (Mystic Park). I usually ride him more forward, he doesn't have to be ridden like that. It wasn't really until the 200m that he really got down to it and I thought 'we are going to do this'. I am really happy to get the result." Racing, for Doyle, is a family affair, and the significance of the win in front of his parents was not lost on him. "What a super horse," he said. "My Mum and Dad are here today, so it was nice to ride a big winner in front of them. We are horse racing people to the bone and it means everything to us. I am gutted that it is not a Group One still, but any big win on a Saturday is fantastic for super connections, and having Mum and Dad oncourse just adds to it." Sent out at $10.90 despite a runner-up finish in the Gr.3 Phar Lap Trophy (1600m) at the same venue a fortnight ago, Doctor Askar had already shown his affinity for the Trentham circuit. "He has been a very good horse to me," Doyle added. "He was difficult to get going last year, we got to the right side of him, he fired a warning shot on the last day (in the Phar Lap Trophy). I don't know why he was so friendless on the TAB, we went into it with a fair bit of confidence and he proved us right." Trainer Joanne Moss was left beaming by Doctor Askar's third stakes victory, adding to his Gr.3 Easter Handicap (1600m) and Listed Flying Handicap (1400m) triumphs. "I am really blown away, that was quite a good field," she said. "I just said to Joe, 'he has done really well, he has eaten every day, he is working well, I have done my job'. I am absolutely rapt." Moss revealed that a stone bruise had caused a couple of disappointing runs late last year, but with the issue resolved, Doctor Askar was back in top order. While Moss is yet to confirm the gelding's next start, Doyle is hopeful the best is still to come. "I am really rapt with the horse," he said. "There is more in him in handicaps at this stage and I am hoping he can progress to weight-for-age level."
Maher Makes More Magic Millions Memories
Weekend, 19th January 2026
Milestones on the Gold Coast don't come much bigger than what unfolded for the Maher stable on Saturday, as a promising two-year-old delivered a piece of racing history. Unit Five, making just his second career appearance, produced a late flourish to win the $3 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m) and, in doing so, led home a memorable stable quinella for Ciaron Maher. In the process, Maher notched his third victory in the time-honoured feature – adding to the achievements of Away Game in 2020 and Coolangatta in 2022 – while Supido colt Unit Five etched his name as the first horse to capture the Classic at only start number two. The win was equally sweet for young Victorian jockey Tom Stockdale, who piloted the colt from the rear of the field, slicing through traffic in the straight to overhaul his Maher-trained stablemate Tornado Valley (Too Darn Hot) and the Gai Waterhouse-Adrian Bott filly By Choice (Written By). For Maher, the result was a testament to his team's planning and a nod to his brother, Gold Coast-based trainer Declan Maher, who has overseen the colt's Queensland campaign since a dazzling debut win at Caulfield. "It's awesome," Maher said. "I can say that I've done it again but when you've got a large business, it all comes down to your staff. Unit Five arrived at the Classic as a lightly raced colt, freshened up after a sharp Gold Coast trial, a decision Maher felt made the difference. "You've got to get them here on the day and myself and the team were quite confident that Unit Five, after that one start, could come up here, have a look at the track in a trial this way and go into the race fresh," he said. "Tommy Stockdale is a little ripper, he does a lot of work for us and he's starting to make a little habit of winning these big races. This will be his biggest win. He and Browny (Ethan Brown) are not dissimilar, they are both hard-working riders with plenty of ability and the type of blokes I enjoy working with." An $80,000 Widden Stud yearling purchase, Unit Five is a son of Supido and is raced by an extensive syndicate of owners. His earnings now approach $1.9 million – a haul that may grow as Maher eyes an ambitious autumn campaign. The result is also timely for the stable, having just secured nearly 50 yearlings, including a $1.1 million colt by Anamoe, at this year's sale. "We bought a heap of horses here this week so hopefully that will help sell a few of them," Maher quipped. For Stockdale, the win was an emotional breakthrough and evidence that patience pays off. "It's just unreal," he said. "Ciaron's support has changed my career…. For a young horse to go back to the rail by themselves and then put a field like that away, it shows how mature he is. He's a two-year-old to be reckoned with over the autumn." Meanwhile, Tigroni finished ninth but collected the lion's share of the Magic Millions Racing Women's Bonus, banking $333,334 for her all-female syndicate, while Leaves Of Lorien and Inhabit also pocketed significant cheques for their connections.
Milestones Unfold for Pitmans at Trentham
Weekend, 19th January 2026
Racing milestones often arrive in unexpected places, and few venues have delivered more special moments for one Riccarton stable than Trentham. On Saturday, the track again provided a highlight for Michael and Matthew Pitman, who celebrated not just a notable double, but also a personal milestone – recording their 600th win as a training partnership. According to loveracing.nz, it was the kind of start to a meeting every trainer hopes for, as Enterprise Gem broke through in the Happy Hire 2100, securing the long-anticipated win and etching a new chapter in the Pitmans' record book. "We thought we would get it (600 wins) at the Coast but it couldn't happen at a better place, this is my favourite track, I just love coming here," Michael Pitman reflected. "This horse has been a certainty beaten in his last few starts, but they were on tight-turning tracks. It is especially pleasing because Diane and Matthew race this horse. My very good friend Graeme Rogerson sent him down to us and we lease him off Rogie, so it is very special." Momentum was maintained just two races later when Rosso, a recent import by Camelot, surged home in the Gr.3 Totara Lodge Trentham Stakes (2100m). The five-year-old had won three of his previous five since joining the team, and punters sent him out a $3.50 favourite. Australian-based jockey Daniel Stackhouse executed a textbook ride, positioning the gelding midfield and timing his move to perfection as they tracked He's A Doozy from the 400m. Down the centre of the track, Rosso's staying prowess came to the fore as he held out a fast-finishing Royal Flower to win by half a length. With the Wellington Cup now looming large, Rosso has shortened into $3.20 favouritism for the 3200m feature at Trentham in a fortnight—a distance Stackhouse feels is within his grasp. "It took me a while to pull him up so I think two miles won't worry him at all, he switched off great. He has ticked every box going forward into that race, I have just got to talk with Michael and the team about the weight, so we will have a little think about that." Saturday's results join a long list of Trentham highlights for Pitman, who has celebrated Group 1 glory there in years past and shows no signs of slowing down.
Maiden Overcomes MM 3YO Guineas Protest
Weekend, 19th January 2026
Drama and celebration unfolded in equal measure on the Gold Coast as Torque To Be Sure finally broke his maiden status in the $3 million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m), surviving a tense protest to deliver a breakthrough win for Matt Dunn and his connections. The finish was anything but straightforward. Ben Melham's mount shifted ground in the straight, repeatedly bumping the favourite Ninja and setting up a dramatic stewards' inquiry after Tommy Berry lodged an objection. With stakes so high, the racing world held its breath while stewards replayed the incident from every angle. Ultimately, they ruled that although there had been contact, the interference was not decisive enough to alter the outcome, and the result stood. Dunn, who has weathered his share of frustrations with Torque To Be Sure, was quick to acknowledge the patience of his ownership group, having seen the gelding rack up minor placings in half of his previous starts. "He's been a frustration and I'm lucky I've got a very patient ownership group in him," Dunn said. "But look what he did today, he's certainly always had the talent and he did a wonderful job. The sky is the limit, who knows what he can do." It was a day of vindication for the stable, who had watched Ninja nearly force Torque To Be Sure through the inside fence just two runs ago. "We probably should've finished right next to Ninja two starts ago when Ninja nearly shoved him through the inside fence so maybe that was a square up late today," Dunn mused. There was a sense of occasion, too, with Dunn adding, "They ($3 million races) are special, especially when you have a maiden going into them. This week is incredible and it's getting bigger, it's a wonderful carnival." Purchased for $260,000 out of the Attunga Stud draft at the 2024 Gold Coast Yearling Sale in partnership with Neil Jenkinson, Torque To Be Sure now boasts almost $2 million in earnings. The winning pair also secured four yearlings at this year's sale, including progeny by Harry Angel, in hopes of repeating their fortune. Melham, for his part, was satisfied that the best horse won on the day. "He is a horse that can do a little bit wrong as we saw but he was dominant today I felt," Melham said. "He was a bit wayward but he had a margin on the second horse." Among the minor placegetters, Crash The Party finished fourth, pocketing $135,000 in prizemoney and an additional $162,500 as the first home eligible for the Magic Millions Racing Women's Bonus.
Snitzel-Vangelic Colt Tops Final MM Book 1
Weekend, 19th January 2026
The curtain closed on Book 1 of the 2026 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale with fireworks on Friday as a striking colt by Snitzel, the first foal of star mare Vangelic, stole the show. Trainer Chris Waller and bloodstock agent Guy Mulcaster signed for the top lot of the Howden Super Session at $1.5 million after spirited bidding. Coolmore Stud's prized colt wasn't the only headline act. He was one of three yearlings to break the seven-figure mark in a session that crackled with energy, shifting the focus now to Sunday's Book Two sale. The sales-topper's dam, Vangelic, was renowned for her tenacity, having captured the Group Two Golden Pendant and placed at Group One level in both the Surround and Flight Stakes. "He looked really sharp and he did really well through the prep," Mulcaster said. "He looks an early runner and he moves beautifully." The experienced agent, who famously picked out Winx from this very ring, was quick to acknowledge the going rate for quality. "I think what we paid for him is pretty well on the mark. It is a hell of a lot of money but that's what they seem to cost and when you get good colts that head to stud, they look cheap." Mulcaster was equally taken by the colt's physical attributes, describing him as "a sharp, beautiful horse" whose pedigree and dam's consistent stakes performances added considerable appeal. "The mare ran in a lot of stakes races and she acquitted herself very well so it all crossed over and looked pretty good," he added. Earlier in the day, Mulcaster again featured prominently, this time signing for an I Am Invincible filly out of versatile mare Qafila for $1.25 million, also from Coolmore's draft. The filly's dual credentials as a juvenile performer and Derby winner proved irresistible. "The thing that really got our attention was the fact she (Qafila) was so versatile," Mulcaster explained. "I think she ran in the first two-year-old race and ended up winning a Derby, so we've got a few different paths we can take with her." The team didn't expect to secure her easily. "We actually really thought we were going to struggle to buy her but it's ended up alright for us. I don't think we'll bustle her too much, we'll let her do the talking and see what transpires." For Mulcaster, the reward matched the outlay: "It's a lot of money, but I'm sure he (the new owner) is going to be rapt when he sees her." Another of the day's high-flyers came courtesy of leading trainer Ciaron Maher, who outlaid $1.1 million for a well-related Anamoe colt presented by Widden Stud. As a half-brother to Maher's smart sprinter Spywire, winner of last week's $1 million Magic Millions The Syndicate, anticipation is high for the youngster's future. Maher's Head of Bloodstock Will Bourne recalled first seeing the colt on farm. "He was the last one out there and they usually leave their best for last and he was their prized icon," Bourne said. "On paper it was obvious (being a half brother to Spywire), but on face value, it was just the horse in front of you that really took Ciaron's eye." Bourne added, "He was just a classy animal that had a bit of presence about him. He wasn't missed by anyone."
Key Statistical Take Aways from MMGC Book 1
Weekend, 19th January 2026
Across all purchases at the 2026 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale Book 1, combining different buying groups and partnerships, Ciaron Maher was the leading buyer of the sale. However as one buying identity it was Chris Waller and Guy Mulcaster who was on top with a spend of $8.685 million for 14 lots. Arrowfield Stud was the leading vendor by gross ($15.195 million) ahead of the 100 per cent clearing vendors Coolmore Stud ($13.735 million) and Newgate Farm ($13.265 million). The Chase was leading vendor by average (3 or more sold) with their six horse draft at $538,333 ahead of the $521,250 achieved by Milburn Creek for eight sold. Sensational strike rate sire Extreme Choice topped the sire averages with eight selling at $822,500 ahead of Snitzel (29 at $688,966), Frankel (11 at $601,364) and I Am Invincible (32 at $593,281). First season sire sensation Anamoe was fifth on the sire averages with his 30 sales averaging an impressive $481,000. Across the Book One section of the sale the gross reached over $202.6 million with a healthy average of $273,177 for 742 yearlings selling at a world class clearance rate of 86 per cent. "I'm delighted, $200 million was a real goal," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said. "We had 40 less horses catalogued and 20-plus more withdrawals, and some significant withdrawals among them. It was pleasing to get close to last year's gross, to increase the clearance rate to 86 per cent and an average that is up on last year." Bowditch noted, "We worked hard to get the best buying bench we could. There were a lot of traders here and a good, diverse bunch from regional areas - Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland was great, the New Zealanders and through Asia were fantastic." He added, "It was a diverse buying bench but we really ensured that we marketed the sale so that people would come up here and have a great selection of horses within all budgets. With the clearance rate, kudos to vendors meeting the market. What pleased me was the spread of buyers. There were about 360 separate buyers and more than 45 buyers spent over $1 million," Bowditch added. "There is a great thirst for Magic Millions product."
Bennett Racing Pulls the Right Rein Again
Weekend, 19th January 2026
A helter-skelter week of Book 1 sales activity and racing results on the Gold Coast culminated in another showcase of Ciaron Maher's training prowess as Snitzanova powered home in the $1 million Queensland Magic Millions Subzero (2200m) on Saturday. Stepping into unfamiliar territory beyond 1800m for the first time, the Group 2-winning daughter of Snitzel looked every bit at home over the extended trip, belying her sprinting pedigree. She settled mid-pack, then loomed with intent after Zac Lloyd navigated a wide passage from barrier 13, stalking the highly fancied You Wahng before sweeping past inside the final 200 metres. Last week's Magic Millions The Wave winner, Miss Joelene, closed strongly for third, adding further intrigue to a field that had brought together runners with markedly disparate staying profiles. Snitzanova's story is one of calculated risk and reward for her connections. Victorian syndicator Nathan Bennett secured her for $200,000 as a yearling, and Maher – who has made a habit of producing feature winners from such investments – was delighted to see her repay the faith at the carnival. "That was beautiful," Maher said. "I was a bit worried about how the race was going to unfold because she can get on the bit and she pulled over 1800m last week. But she was a bit unlucky and monstered the line the other day. Zac gave her a beautiful ride today and with that decent tempo today, it was like mile pace so she actually dropped her head and relaxed. Bennett Racing are very good at picking their horses – Nath, Phil, Rick and their team do it very well." For Lloyd, who guided Snitzanova to her maiden win at Randwick in October 2024, the performance capped off a memorable reunion. "It was a great training performance by Ciaron to get her to step up over 2200m," he said. "I won her maiden over 1300m. This could be her trip. It's always a struggle with her to get her to relax but today was beautiful because I was able to get onto the back of You Wahng and she took me everywhere. My mare was very strong late." Bennett Racing, who sourced Snitzanova from Arrowfield Stud's draft at the 2023 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, were again active at this year's auction. Among their latest disparate acquisitions were Lot 821, an I Am Invincible colt from Emirates Park for $500,000, Lot 974, a Zoustar colt from Cressfield for $460,000, and Lot 926, a Stay Inside colt from Vinery Stud for $425,000.
Bargain Buy Cleans Up in Debut Plate
Weekend, 19th January 2026
Turning a modest investment into a six-figure windfall, Paul Shailer experienced a golden moment on Saturday when his sharp filly Toorak Jewel dominated The Debut Plate at the Gold Coast Magic Millions. The filly, a $36,000 buy from Raheen Stud’s Book 2 draft at last year’s yearling sale, rocketed her connections to a $300,000 payday in under a minute – a transformation that says as much about the trainer’s eye as the filly’s raw ability. Arriving at the race with a reputation for electric trial performances, Toorak Jewel wasted no time showing those credentials on race day. Jumping smartly from barrier two, James McDonald wasted no time sending her straight to the lead, where she controlled the tempo with minimal fuss. As the field stretched behind her, it became clear none would match her speed, and the filly dashed home a length and a half ahead of Lady Moscato, the $1.05 million yearling from the Chris Waller yard. Shailer was effusive in his appreciation for owner Mike Crooks, the Queensland heavyweight who had entrusted him with the filly after a successful run in the Magic Millions National 2YO Classic. “She’s shown a fair bit of class leading into today,” Shailer said. “She trailed well and it doesn’t matter where you trial, not many horses win by 10 lengths pulling up and she did it in good time. She’d trained on well.” The filly’s victory marked another statement for her rider, with McDonald quick to suggest the partnership has more significant targets to chase. “Favourite for the Slipper you reckon?” he quipped in the aftermath. “She’s a massive filly and I’m sure they will have a lot of fun with her. Paul has always been a really good trainer and that filly shows you what he can do with a horse. She was very well educated, she knew her job and I just love how she went about her business. For her to sustain a gallop like that and then quicken off it was a really good testament to her ability. She’s very competitive which is a good sign.” The stable wasn’t finished with the result either – Shailer, busy at Book 1 of the 2026 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, came away with 10 new acquisitions totalling $1.9 million, while Mishani Enterprises signed for Lot 605, a Farnan filly, for $220,000.
Super Seth Serves Reminder Ahead of Karaka
Weekend, 19th January 2026
A field boasting a solid mix of experience and talent lined up for the TAB Handicap (1500m) at Rosehill, but it was progressive four-year-old Cross Tasman who emerged a clear-cut winner, notching his fourth victory from just seven starts for the thriving John O'Shea and Tom Charlton stable. Guided into an ideal position one-out and one-back by Dylan Gibbons, the son of Super Seth looked momentarily uncomfortable in the Heavy 8 going, but quickly asserted his superiority when straightened for home. According to NZ Racing Desk, Gibbons admitted the rain-affected track was hardly ideal, remarking, "He never grabbed the bit at all when I would have liked. He was funny, he got into his spot and dipped and dived a bit. When I was having to encourage him through that I thought it might take away from his finish, but he might be pretty good. I got to the 300m and I thought it was going to be hard work but I had a cheeky look a long way out because I just felt him go into over-drive. This guy, with his attitude and the way he races, I'm going to say it was an unpreferred surface and the way he blew them away late, I love the way he did it today." Bred by Waikato Stud, Cross Tasman is out of the supremely versatile Daffodil, a triple Group 1 winner whose major victories included the Australian Oaks and New Zealand 2000 Guineas. Versatility seems to run in the family, and this latest performance suggests Cross Tasman is inheriting plenty of it. Sporting the colours of long-time stable supporter Ron Finemore's Finemore Thoroughbreds, the gelding once again delivered for a loyal ownership group. Gibbons believes the future could hold even more, stating, "Off that win, you wouldn't rule out 2000m and even beyond. He has just got that perfect temperament, he just switches off and once I got stuck into him, where I thought I was really going to have to get into him, he just clicked into another gear and away he went." O'Shea went to $260,000 in partnership with Suman Hedge Bloodstock to secure Cross Tasman from Waikato Stud's draft at the 2023 New Zealand Bloodstock Book 1 Yearling Sale. With the Karaka Sale commencing on Sunday 25th January, Dundeel's son Super Seth is well represented, with 46 yearlings set to go under the hammer.
