Feel better, good boy. Injury for Jokers Wild after Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes 26 Sep 2007 By Rob Burnet Former top New Zealand two-year-old Jokers Wild (NZ) sustained a chipped knee in his right-front fetlock after his run in last Saturday’s Group I Sir Rupert Clark Stakes (1400m)at Caulfield. News of the injury was reported on Wednesday and connections are presently considering their options over the top-line galloper. Jokers Wild, a four-year-old entire by Black Minnaloushe, is a multiple Group I winner, including the Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes at Awapuni. His last win was in the Group II Wellington Guineas over 1600m at Hastings in October 2006, but he raced against the best at three including two Group I placings that season on some unsuitable tracks. Trainers Mike and Paul Moroney started his latest campaign in the Group I Mudgway Stakes over 1400m at Hastings on September 1st, and a first up fourth was the result behind the flying mare Seachange. Overall his race career to-date is 20 starts for seven wins and five placings, with stakes of $A353,000. In other news ex-pat New Zealand jockey Greg Childs returns from Melbourne to ride Railings in the Group I Kelt Capital Stakes (2040m) at Hastings on October 6th. Childs rode Railings, by Zabeel, to victory in the 2005 Caulfield Cup (2400m). |

![]() Yeah.
![]() First stakes races of the summer at NZ's main track on Saturday! Bonecrusher and Soliloquy Stakes at Ellerslie. Looks like some nice fields for those 2 races, with the likes of Pierre Joseph, Double Or Nothin, Rios and Lovetrista running. It'll be my first trip to Ellerslie since April. The crowd won't look anything like the Derby Day picture I've got as my avatar, but I always love racing at the big E so I'm really looking forward to it. They should be good races, so I'll put the videos up as usual...but mainly to show off how awesome my home track is. ![]() |

![]() Ed,
If you get a chance dont forget about Black Mamba. She is in the $400,000 Yellow Ribbon at Santa Anita on Saturday. It is race #3. She has post #5 in a field of 6. Very tough race as all of the mares are good ones. You can watch it on calracing.com ----free registration. |

![]() Kindly give me a hint - are these new races or lineal descendents of races I used to keep track of before my kids were born (first one in 1987.) with new names? Name changes mess me up a lot.

![]() The Bonecrusher Stakes is formerly the Northern Guineas Trial, the name was changed about 4 years ago. Not entirely sure about the Soliloquy Stakes, but I think it has always been raced under that name (it's not a very old race, it has only been run since the early 1990s).
We don't really change our race names very often overall though, which I think is a good thing. However, I'm not happy that we don't have any race named after undeniably New Zealand's all-time greatest mare, Sunline. She really deserves one. |
