Ciaron Maher & David Eustace and John Allen have combined with Affaire A Suivre to take out the Group 1 Australasian Oaks at Morphettville over the fast finishing She’s Fit and Jennilala.

She might not have lined up in The Goodwood, but trainer Mark Kavanagh’s conservative approach paid off when Seradess comfortably saluted in the $127,250 Proud Miss Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville. The three-year-old led early and blew away her competition when she was up by five lengths at the 100m mark. She then cruised home to win[...]

When Lombardo was all over his trainer Mick Price pre-race – stepping on him and even offloading some excrement on his clothes – he knew he was ready to fire. And fire he certainly did, leading early and never being headed from there to win the $502,250 The Goodwood (1200m) at Morphettville. Before the race he wished[...]

It is not often champion Victorian trainer Mick Price is proven wrong – but on this occasion he was happy to be shown up by brilliant jockey Mark Zahra.

Billy Egan believes Foxy Frida is a “dream” to ride after recording his third win on the mare from four starts in the $107,250 Dominant Centaurea Stakes at Morphettville. The four-year-old certainly looked a nice stayer to ride in the 2015m feature after she hit the front at the 200m mark before powering home from[...]

Mark Zahra showed all his experience and class to never panic and deliver what ended up being a comfortable one-length victory for Illation in the $107,250 Adelaide Guineas (1600m) at Morphettville. But he had to work for it, particularly after the Mick Price and Michael Kent three-year-old was denied an outside lane rounding the turn.[...]

Champion Victorian trainer Mick Price’s respect for “underrated” Jungle Magnate reached new heights after his comfortable almost two-length win in the $502,250 South Australian Derby at Morphettville. He did not have lofty expectations for him before the race, telling RacingOnline that he’d be content with a place behind favourite Alegron and $3.50 chance Detonator Jack.
