Weekend Rewind

FIUMICINO, ANYONE?

FIUMICINO (NZ) (photo from Sydney Morning Herald) moved across $3 million in career earnings with a win in the ATC Cup at Warwick Farm. It was career win No. 6 for the John Hawkes trained 9yo gelding.

WHO’S BOSS?

LE ROI (GER) continued a hot start to his career with his fourth win in six races after winning over 2000m at Caulfield on Saturday. The third-straight win for the 4yo horse was also one of two wins for jockey Glen Boss.

APPRENTICE MONOPOLY

Three apprentice jockeys had a monopoly on the races out at Toowoomba, as Ms. Melody O’Brien, Noriyuki Nishio and Geoffrey Goold, each rode a double on Saturday.

YOUNG SPUNK GETS THEM OVER THE HUMP

Speaking of apprentice jockeys, some also sparked some veterans into the winner’s circle. Nishio rode TOWN DAZZLER to her first win in 31 career races. Fellow apprentice jockey, Ms. Rebecca Williams, posted the first career win for GORILLA’S MIST, the 20^th career running for the 4yo gelding. On Friday, apprentice jockey Chad Schofield at Moonee Valley, got the best out of THE WINGMAN (NZ), who won for the first time since December, 2011, a span of 14 races. Schofield started his week with a win at Bendigo the day before and also won again on Saturday at Caulfield

GRANT DOUBLE

Jockey Grant Buckley finished off a strong weekend with back-to-back doubles in New South Wales. On Sunday he rode winners MIGHTY MADELINE and RAPIDO FELINO at Kembla Grange following a double on Saturday at Hawkesburry with Peter Snowden-trained MOUSE and IMPERIL. Buckley won five times and placed in another six races over 17 races this past weekend.

TROUBLE WITH TREBLES

Ten separate jockeys posted trebles over the weekend. Luke Nolen, closed out his Sunday at Wodonga with a win on ZABISCO (NZ) following earlier wins on TOOLANGI and QUICK SNITZEL. Nolen also won atop LAMPEDUSA on Saturday at Caulfield...  There were two trebles in Tasmania this past weekend with Kyle Hocking riding  I’MSINGINGTHEBLUES, JUAN TUFFAMIGO and CHRISTOS BOY to consecutive victories at King Island, while Brendon McCoull rode LANDER DOLLAR, MERITS RESPECT and NAADJI (NZ) to victory at Hobart... Dom Tourneur picked off his own treble with winners on AUSTRALIA DAY, in his maiden race, and WARATONE to open up racing at Morphettville, before winning with MEGA QUEEN later in the day. Tourneur then won again with SANDHILL MISS on Sunday at Murray Bridge.
