@MitchEllis67 @AusJumpsRacing @nzracingnews @NZJumpsRacing @MelbRacingClub In a cool link to your interview with Brett Scott, they are jumping at Hawera in NZ today, which I think is where Scotty said he made his jumps riding debut. The mighty hurdler Happy Star finally goes after a maiden chase!! Exciting to see such an honest hurdler go to fences

@Sunshine_Tour @DPWorldTour Will we be a chance to see you in Australia again in 2026 Michael? You played elite level golf out here last year

[castertonchase @castertonchase]

@MitchEllis67 Bold Soul is in the Casterton noms which is exciting. Connections might save him for Ballarat hurdle debut .

A winner on the @DPWorldTour and now making his major debut, 🇿🇦 Michael Hollick is ready for #TheOpen this week at Royal Birkdale. 👏

[castertonchase @castertonchase]

@CiaranMeagher3 Don’t discount Michael Hollick to make the cut / top South African. He played superb golf in Australia in our key sand belt tournaments last Summer. Topped off his prep with a nerveless win 🏅 n Germany last week

@BrianKirschner_ Is there a broader trend
around players who do/ don’t play tournament golf the week prior to The Open?

[castertonchase @castertonchase]

@TravTurf By definition, a feature race should not be scrapped. Will connections of stern idol be compensated? I think a spectacular one horse walkover by the big Irish bred 9yo million
Dollar earner would be awesome

[castertonchase @castertonchase]

@MitchEllis67 @RacingPedigrees Imagine the publicity generated world wide if they ran the race as a walkover for first prize! I reckon big 18 hands stern idol would go global as the champ no one wanted to take on!

[castertonchase @castertonchase]

@MitchEllis67 @AB_Browny @RacingPedigrees @edward_sadler @StewartMatty Agree Mitch. We need these SWP races to keep superstars like Stern Idol on the park. If he scares away most of the opposition, you can’t just call off the race. A match race would be outstanding

[castertonchase @castertonchase]

@betsy_com_au @MitchEllis67 Absolutely with you on Sunday Buzz. The firmer course proper should suit him too! Have you seen a track rating for the Chase course? It’s often wetter through the paddocks

🚨Traralgon Jumps Trials Report🚨

The Cunning Fox - The four-time feature hurdle winner returned with a pleasing, quiet trial in Heat 2. He jumped cleanly throughout and finished third, suggesting he’s come back in good order.

Bitcoin – The two-time hurdle winner made a nice return in Heat 1 for @bartonequine. He looked to cruise to the line and he’s one to follow when he returns as he has loads of ability.

Split – Also returned in Heat 1, he jumped well and looks set to be a handy second season jumper.

Ardakan – Had a spin around in Heat 5 for @cmaherracing and appeared to show improvement in his jumping. There’s a race there for him somewhere.

Morryl Moral - Was an impressive winner of Heat 3 again for the Ciaron Maher stable. He looked like a natural jumper and hopefully can be a race day jumping maiden soon enough.

Lucky Chance - Jumped well and raced home nicely to win the last trial for Eric Musgrove. He’s worth following as he goes Steeplechasing we know Eric is a fantastic trainer and he’ll bob up in a big race somewhere at massive odds and run well.

@MitchEllis67 I’m enjoying the NZ jumps. Lots of quirky race preparations too, to evaluate. What about Lae Zee, first up 1200m win, second up 3100m hurdle!

[castertonchase @castertonchase]

@MitchEllis67 Thanks for the footage Mitch. Riderless horse seemed to impede Lord Spencer in the straight too, but I haven’t seen the head on view.

[castertonchase @castertonchase]

@MitchEllis67 Storyteller was a super run heading to Crisp, National Chase. Leek has a real tough clever jumper there

[castertonchase @castertonchase]

@Racing_Previews Sterne Idol must be a risk with the 76.5kg. In the 2025 Australian chase, leaderboard chased him hard up the straight. Sterne held him but was tired. Carried 73.5kg last year. SI is a champ in these non marathon chases. I’d love to see him chasing in the UK.
