Topweight Newport has drawn kindly in barrier one for this Friday’s $400,000 Group Two BMW Perth Cup (2400m).

The Paul Perry trained galloper will have the services of recently married jockey Brad Rawiller in the saddle.

Perth Cup – Final Field & Barriers

Six-year-old Lord Ransom showed big potential for Durrant when he won the Bunbury and Pinjarra cups in March, 2008. The gelding’s owners Bob and Sandra Peters transferred him to Victoria.The powerful chestnut could not have been more impressive when he stormed home from 10th near the home turn and convincingly won last Saturday week’s $250,000 weight-for-age Cox Stakes (2100m).

Lords Ransom soared to prominence in Caulfield and Melbourne cups markets after a fast-finishing third at Moonee Valley in his Victorian debut. But setbacks followed and Lords Ransom returned to Durrant’s stable after failing at Caulfield early this year.
He bounced back to winning form in the Cox Stakes at his third start after resuming with Durrant.

The Peters family have won Perth Cups with Field Officer (1993) and Crown Prosecutor (2005). Durrant has booked Alan Kennedy to ride Lords Ransom in Friday’s big race and the gelding drew barrier two. Big support is expected for Kalgoorlie Cup winner Gondorff, who drops to 52.5kg after running an impressive third with 58kg in last Saturday’s A T A Handicap (2200m).

RACE 3 N0. 3 TOTTERIDGE GREEN 

Talented two-year-old TOTTERIDGE GREEN, to contest Friday’s $50,000 BMW Lifestyle Plate (1100m) at Ascot, has revealed the ability to be a leading contender for next year’s rich Perth juvenile races. Totteridge Green can be expected to improve considerably on the second he ran when making his debut over 1000m at Ascot last Saturday week. The bay is likely to be a candidate for the $500,000 Karrakatta Plate (1200m) at Ascot on April 17 and the $200,000 WA Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) at Belmont Park on May 1. Totteridge Green is by deceased sire Pearl Of Love, whose progeny are showing a lot of promise. 

RACE 5  NO 2 INARTICULATE 

Bargain-priced galloper INARTICULATE can boost his stake-earnings to more than $300,000 by winning Friday’s $50,000 Auto Classic Handicap (1800m). The six-year-old gelding, bought for less than $1000 when he was a youngster, has won 10 races and run five places in a 22-start career. He won over 1400m at Ascot on November 21, then finished second when he had difficulty getting a clear run on December 5. Inarticulate exhibited his class in a win over 1600m with 56.5kg last Saturday week and he should not be anchored by an extra 2kg on Friday.       

RACE 7  NO 7 MEKONG MISS 

Tough five-year-old MEKONG MISS is likely to be solidly supported at Ascot on Friday, despite facing a class rise when she contests the $50,000 Moet And Chandon Handicap (1400m). The David Harrison-trained mare has won at three of four starts since a spell and she scored a stylish victory in last Saturday week’s Country Challenge Final (1500m) at Ascot. Mekong Miss looks well placed with 54kg in Friday’s handicap and she has drawn favourably at barrier six. Harrison has established an imposing strike rate of winners on city and provincial tracks in recent seasons. The trainer’s winning percentage lifted considerably after he shifted to a private training complex at Serpentine.

Festival of Perth Racing from Saturday November 21^stculminating on Perth Cup day January 1^st 2010. PERTH’S Railway Handicap at Ascot is set to become one of the richest handicap races in the world – with $5 million in prize money on offer from 2011

A week ahead of WA’s richest horse race, there are some excellent appetizers on show as the Festival of Perth

Local star Kasabian has been ruled out of Saturday’s Group One $1 million Railway Stakes at Ascot with a leg injury.

Carlton Draught Railway Stakes

The Melbourne spring carnival might be winding down, but the action is only starting to warm up in WA. The 1600m Group 2 test sees the colts and fillies come together to decide early-season supremacy.

Group One Carlton Draught Railway Stakes will carry stake money of $3 million and, by 2011, a further $2 million will be added

As some potential Railway contenders have their final hit out in the $125,000 RJ Peters Stakes, and sprinters scorch around in the $200,000 Colonel Reeves Stakes and some classy fillies and mares battle it out in the $75,000 Jungle Mist Classic, all eyes will be on the three-year-olds.

The Festival of Perth Racing goes on show every Friday at the Burswood Entertainment Complex.Join your hosts Marty Young, David Shorte and Josh Rodder as they go behind-the-scenes with WA’s top racing identities.

Entry is free! Show starts at 12.30pm

Special guests on Friday November 20 will be Melbourne Cup winning combination Corey Brown and Mark Kavanagh, Railway Stakes favorite Gold Salute’s trainer Mark Riley and Railway Stakes winning jockey Pat Carbery.

Colour Correct and the underrated mare Delta Gee might do best of the rest, but don’t be surprised if Universal Ruler puts in a big run fresh.

You’re never quite sure about this son of Scenic, as befits a five-year-old stallion, but on his day he’s the best horse in this field. And if you’re looking for the blowout, then Roman Time, a stablemate of grand Nirvana, could be the one.

Other racing events to be scheduled In DUBAI

1. Dubai Duty Free Golf World Handicap
2. Dubai Duty Free Millenium Millionaire Sapphire Stakes

WINNER  of  The 2009 Melbourne Cup is SHOCKING

• • First We lose our money as none of the favorites VIEWED , ALCOPOP , Roman Emperor manage to make a mark with shocking giving us a stunning finish.
  • Second The RBA rubs salt into our wounds by announcing  a Rate Hike of 25 basis points  to empty our bank accounts even further

SHOCKING RESULT FOR MELBOURE CUP FOR MANY

First we  all lose our money to shocking  as it made a grand mark in the Melbourne cup 2009 by leaving all the other favorites behind to eat its dust. None of the favorites VIEWED , ALCOPOP , Roman Emperor  Was anyway close by to be seen while   SHOCKING made a run for its glory on the finish line.

Crime scene did a good job taking  in  second place by a whisker after shocking. It was shocking new to many  as non of the favorites   won and many  punters  disappointed .. but leaving the bookies laughing.

RBA RAISES RATES BY 25 Basis Points today 3 Nov 2009

To add to our misery The RBA went ahead and did a 25 basis point rate cut today   and   thus  be ready to see even more money  going out from your bank account if  you hold a mortgage

As was widely expected by economists, the Reserve Bank board lifted the cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.5 per cent. Mr Swan says Australians should expect rate increases as the economy recovers from the global financial crisis.

WESTPAC has matched the central bank, increasing its standard variable mortgage interest rate by 25 basis points.

The bank’s standard variable home loan rate will rise to 6.31 per cent as of Friday November 6, from 6.06 per cent, Sydney-based Westpac said in a statement on Tuesday.

Yesterday’s 149th Melbourne Cup, before a crowd of 102,181, will be remembered for how physical it was. Caulfield Cup winner Viewed was bumped many times, as was the favourite Alcopop, while Daffodil nearly fell. Michelle Payne, riding in her first Cup aboard Allez Wonder, was surprised at some of the tactics.

A fascinator is a headpiece, a style of millinery. The word originally referred to a fine, lacy head covering akin to a shawl and made from wool or lace. The term had fallen almost into disuse by the 1970s

Making a stunning fascinator is very much about strong composition. For some of us this comes naturally, others may find it hard to make it come together. Even if you have an artistic eye, for your first attempt I highly recommend doing a bit of research first. Some of the materials are fragile and don’t take to reworking kindly. 

I bought most of mine from Lincraft in October when they became seasonally available. When I decided to buy my materials, the cheaper round base with sewn on slide comb was not available. I had to opt for the more expensive base and separate slide comb, which I sewed on. I already had some sheer ribbon saved from a gift wrapping (see – hoarding stuff for years pays off!), and a small pick of plain black, trimmed feathers.

iris fascinator, $10.99
slide comb, 79c
hat veiling, 35cm at $5.99 a metre, $2.10
flower, $5.99
iridescent black, trimmed feather pick $4.99
total $24.86

While this may seem quite an outlay for raw materials, you will find this is only the starting price for a basic ready made one that isn’t likely to be as well crafted or fancy as one you can make yourself. I estimate I put 4 hours work into mine. To buy one like it would definitely be over $50, and probably closer to $100. Part of the pleasure of such a project of course, is not just the monetary saving but the creative part and knowing you have something at the end that is unique, and made especially for you by you. That is priceless 

Look around and see ready made fascinators.

Fashion shops such as Portmans and Sportsgirl, as well as the millinery department of Myer sold them this season. Notice the shape and composition. Some are spikey and architectural, others are softer or fluffier. This will give you a stronger idea about how to compose your own, and what will suit your style.

Think about the style and colour of the outfit you plan to wear it with and decide on a colour scheme. I went for something that will go with a range of outfits rather than one in particular, and my favourite colours. Choose your base first, then have a play around with the assortment of materials until you find a composition that is pleasing to your eye.
The feathers, flowers and etcetera you choose is the star, not the base. Make sure you have enough. I made 6 little fans in burgundy sheer ribbon to provide body, contrast and help break up the shape of the base. It makes a cheap and easy filler, but because it’s gauzy it’s not visually too heavy. Consider your partner if you have one, by avoiding trims such as big, rigid feather quills that may take his eye out!

Construction A fascinator

Hand sewing it all is best, though a little craft glue here and there may also be helpful.
Have a mirror handy throughout the process as you are constructing the fascinator to suit your face.

Check out fascinators online to see how they are worn in terms of placement on the head. In front of a mirror decide where on your head you will wear it. This will help you know how best to sew your slide comb or other hair accessory to the base. Take note of where it is in relation to a facial feature such as the corner of your eye, and draw a simple diagram of this. It will assist the fitting process and ensure consistency.
If you are making a veil this is where it gets fiddly and you can expect to have a few tries before you get the shape just right. Seeing veiled fascinators on the internet and the different ways they can sit is particularly helpful.

Lady Meerkat :

Modern fascinators are commonly made with feathers, flowers and/or beads. They attach to the hair by a comb, headband or clip. They are particularly popular at premium horse-racing events, such as the Grand National and the Melbourne Cup. Brides may choose to wear them as an alternative to a bridal veil or hat, particularly if their gowns are non-traditional.

Fascinators are best attached with a hat pin; however, many contemporary designs feature clips and combs. They are available pre-made (and may be quite expensive if sold by established millinery designers) but are also quite easy and cost-effective to make at home. They are also sold in kit form.

Trim the edges straight. I trimmed mine to each intersection.
In front of the mirror, put the base on your head. Fold the veil so that it wraps around your face. For mine I did a bit of folding at the corners with a little bit of bunching in the middle. The veil material is fine so when it is a little bunched it isn’t very bulky and easily concealed by a feather etc. Once I found the right veil shape I held it in place with my fingers while carefully slipping the base off my head. After lightly sewing it in place, I rechecked the fit and added a few more stitches.*

With the aid of a mirror I decided how I wanted the main feathery plume to sit. Note how its curve curls around my head, and does not stand up like a cockatoo. That is what makes it classy rather than sassy. Not that there’s anything wrong with sassy but that wasn’t the flavor I was going for.

The trimmed feathers add a bit of volume and textural interest.
They were attached to the main plume with stitching and a bit of craft glue to hold the stitches in place.

Next I added the flower, again with the aid of a mirror, to ensure it sat right when worn. This was stitched and glued to the feathers, which in turn were stitched to the base.
Lastly I made a series of simple mini fans out of sheer ribbon. In addition to colour and contrast they also help conceal the ends of the feathers and the stump of the flower stem. To make them, I carefully folded them like paper fans about 1cm wide, stitched them together when I thought they were thick enough, then snipped them from the length of ribbon (rather than snipping lengths of ribbon then folding them). I quickly sealed the raw ribbon edges with a lighter to prevent fraying. I made about 3, sewed them on then decided I needed about 3 more.

Hope that was helpful 
*Hint:If after all of that you find your veil isn’t sitting perfectly you might be able to cheat a little by hooking it into bobby pins in your hair, as I did on one side.
[edit 16/02/08]

As promised (see comments) a photograph showing just the fascinator, which should make my explanation that little clearer, and the project a little bit more tempting as well!

But we’re not going to see a great one.

Competition between two very good horses like Whobegotyou and Heart of Dreams with Speed Gifted and 3-year-old So You Think thrown in will be fascinating

Outsider Sir Slick has been scratched from this afternoon’s $3 million Cox Plate at Moonee Valley, after failing to pass a veterinary examination on an injured hoof.

Kavanagh paid tribute to Rodd’s ride on Maldivian and said by the time rival jockeys realised they had to make a move the race was over.

”We had guys pressing buttons halfway through the race and, ‘Shit, the bird’s flown’ and Danny Nikolic on Zipping took off and everyone went mad,” Kavanagh said. ”Well, it was just too late. They had to make up too much ground.”

And this afternoon at Moonee Valley we’ll see the hot favourite Whobegotyou try to prove he’s not just a sit-and-sprint horse. He’s going to get that chance because Cox Plates almost never are.

And arch rival Heart Of Dreams will be there to establish he’s got the bigger ticker.

Whobegotyou is a natural backmarker, leaving Kavanagh to hope the race is run at a reasonable tempo. ”Every time you dissect the race, you can see it run a different way,” he said. ”The Cox Plate is a notoriously tactical race. Certainly there will be a lot of jockeys today planning things with owners. You may see someone do something totally out of left field.”

Cummings knows So You Think has Cox Plate potential, but believes the race might just be a little early in the young horse’s career.

Freedman is wily. He’s aiming Speed Gifted at the A$5.5 million Melbourne Cup. He hasn’t said so, but he’s probably worked out that he might just be able to get away with a Cox Plate in a weak year with a horse on the rise.

Spring has sprung and it is time to get your racing frocks, hats and fascinators ready. For the Race that stops the nation, there needs to be fashion that makes the nation stop and turn its head, the Melbourne Cup is just as well known for the Fashion events as much as the racing.

Fashion at the Races

No hat is too ostentatious and no outfit too out there. The Melbourne Cup is Fashion as much as it is racing, below are some highlights from last year 2008 Melbourne Cup Fashions.

Big hats and bigger smiles.

A arrray of beautiful damsels  and knights in shining armour not.

Suggestions for ladies dressing up for the occasion !!

Tips from Designer Ray Costarella at caulfield

Beware the fascinator. "If you are going to do a hat, then do a hat. Stuff stuck in your hair does not cut it. Some women just feel compelled to have to wear something, anything, in their hair."

A successful look is well put together, but not necessarily all matched up. "Put some thought into it. You don’t have to spend a fortune, it’s not about that."

It’s not about being loud. "When in doubt tone it down. It’s not about being the loudest on the field."

Watch your skirt length. It’s not about showing off leg.

Shoulders covered. No strapless dresses.

No fake tan. "Tan like a chicken looks are all wrong."

Men must make an effort. Those who don’t like a tie, try a cravat. A shirt is necessary, as are trousers. "Shorts are OK in the carpark, but certainly not in the member’s stand."

Australia’s most prestigious fashions are showcased at the Melbourne Cup carnival.

Feathers  and fascinators always play a big role in the Melbourne Carnival fashion.

As the Hats and Dresses define the women men are marked out by their suits.

It’s also about being quirky in your Fashion sense.

Large crowd’s gather, hat’s mark out the women and suits the men.

Having fun is also part of the Fashion.

The pictures above are just some of the highlights from last years 2008  Melbourne Cup and there are sure to be many more this year, it’s also worth remembering that the 43rd MYER Fashions on the field requires pre-booking to enter.

COMPETITION: Caulfield Cup  – 17 October 2009

With the announcement of Saturday’s Caulfield Cup barrier draw earlier this morning, bookmakers have done a major reshuffle in response to the allocations. Leading online bookmaker IASbet now has Cima De Triomphe, Predatory Pricer and Daffodil all sitting as equal favourites for the $2.5million race at $8.50. Predatory Pricer was early favourite before the barriers were decided, but drawing horribly with gate 16 has seen him drift from $6.50.

Some favorites :

Allez Wonder Win 10.00

Baughurst (1E) Win 61.00

C`est la Guerre WIN 21.00

Cima de Triomphe win 8.00

 

Nominations for the Melbourne Racing Club’s meeting at Caulfield and the Australian Jockey Club’s meeting at Randwick is over. The Randwick meeting has attracted 119 nominations, including 19 for the $100,000, listed City Tattersall’s Club Cup (2400m).

CAULFIELD NOMINATIONS ON SATURDAY 17TH OCTOBER, 2009

 

RANDWICK NOMINATIONS ON SATURDAY 17TH OCTOBER, 2009

Nominations for the 2009 BMW Caulfield Cup, Tatts Cox Plate and Emirates Melbourne Cup are closed now with Godolphin’s line-up headed by Group 1 Dubai Sheema Classic (2400m) winner Eastern Anthem.

“There’s no doubt All The Good’s win in last year’s Caulfield Cup has made Godolphin even more determined to come back and, in particular, win that elusive Melbourne Cup. This determination is indicated in the quality of their entries,” said Racing Victoria’s General Manager of Racing Operations Leigh Jordon.

Overall, 43 international horses have been entered for the Spring Racing Carnival’s ‘big three’, compared to 66 last year. There are 18 Caulfield Cup nominations, 11 in the Cox Plate and 39 in the Melbourne Cup.

In 2008, a total of nine international horses travelled to Melbourne with seven contesting the Melbourne Cup. Cups King Bart Cummings has 11 Cups nominations, up from 10 last year, headed by reigning Melbourne Cup hero Viewed.

Legendary trainer Bart Cummings has three horses entered in the Caulfield Cup and the draw has favoured all. Allez Wonder, who won the Toorak Handicap last week, drew alongside stablemate Roman Emperor in barriers six and five. Cummings other runner, last year’s Melbourne Cup victor Viewed drew gate 15.

Entries for the Cox Plate have risen from 172 last year to 196.

The total includes 11 international horses including Dubai World Cup runner-up and Singapore Cup winner Gloria De Campeo, Singapore Derby winner Jolie’s Shinju and Hong Kong-trained stable mates Mr Medici and Packing Winner.
