Hissing Sid elevated into Warrnambool Cup History

A PLAN to plot a path along the rails worked perfectly for Warrnambool owned and trained Hissing Sid and gifted the talented galloper a second consecutive listed TAB big6 Warrnambool Cup (2350m) yesterday.

Happy Winning connections of the 2010 Warrnambool Cup.

Hissing Sid was second-last past the winning post the first time and jockey Ben Melham sought inside runs with the five-year-old gelding, eventually joining the Jarrod McLean-trained $81 chance Cruyfforme on the home turn.

The smart stayer then set sail for home and smashed the opposition to win by four-and-a-half lengths from the brave Cruyfforme with top weight Light Vision ($6.50) another length-and-three-quarters away third.

The victory elevated Hissing Sid into elite company, becoming the first horse since Puramaka (1977-78) to win consecutive Warrnambool Cups. He became just the sixth horse to achieve the feat in the Cup's 137-year history.

Bill Wilde who trains in partnership with his son Symon, revealed after the cup that Melham believed the inside of the track was the place to be while many other jockeys were seeking better ground out wide.

Hissing Sid saved a mile of ground not going around a horse and now looks likely to be set for a trip to the Queensland winter carnival in an attempt to qualify for the $6 million Melbourne Cup in November.

Wilde senior said the horse affectionately known as 'Sid' would be eyeing a group race in Brisbane.

"It's the right move for him now," Wilde said.

"We need to raise our sights and try and get him to Group or Black Type races, that's what we are trying to achieve. The time is right.

"There are some nice races up there, if he can do that well and I have no reason to believe he won't, then it's the spring carnival."

RVL chief handicapper Greg Carpenter said Hissing Sid's win meant he had met the first qualification criteria for the Caulfield and Melbourne cups.

"Undoubtedly, his impressive win will see him weighted slightly up on last year's weight for both races," Carpenter said.

Wilde said it was marvellous to win back-to-back cups and was quick to pay tribute to Symon.

"Symon and Ben were very keen to stick to the fence because they thought the going there was a lot better than everyone else thought," he said.

"The plan came together beautifully.

''It's great to win again. Symon has done a great job with this horse, we have a super staff and a great group of owners."

Symon Wilde said it was sensational to win the cup again, especially after there were a couple of queries about Hissing Sid going into the race.

"There's not a lot gone right this week but to win our hometown cup again is a big thrill. To win again we feel really blessed," he said.

Melham said he had the run of the race and the cup panned out just the way he had hoped.

"It's great to win for Symon and Bill.

SUPER GOLD BREAKS TRACK RECORD IN GR.3 VASE - SINGAPORE

Smart galloper Super Gold lowered the track record with a strong on-pace victory in the Group 3 $200,000 Moonbeam Vase over 1800m on Sunday.

Ridden by John Powell, Super Gold held on to score by a length over Drovetti (Vlad Duric) with Pina Colarda (Sean Cormack) two-and-a-quarter lengths away third.

Reigning Horse of the Year Jolie’s Shinju (Ronnie Stewart) run an improved race for fourth after setting a solid pace in which the winner stopped the clock at 1 min 46.89 secs.

John Powell and Super Gold land the Moonbeam Vase.

Stewart allowed Jolie’s Shinju to run along in front with Powell content to sit in second place aboard Super Gold, himself a renowned leader.

Soon after turning for home Powell elected to move up to Jolie’s Shinju before taking the lead with 300m to run.

When it looked likely that Drovetti would throw out a strong challenge, Super Gold responded gamely to Powell’s urgings and was easily holding the runner-up to the line.

Trainer Sam Chua elected to take the blinkers from Super Gold’s gear two starts back when finishing down the track behind Mexican Rose in the Group 3 Merlion Trophy over 1200m.

“He didn’t like the Polytrack that day,” said Chua. “It was a little too soft for him.

“He prefers to race on the turf. We were trying him over this distance to see whether he will measure up to the Derby.

“This was a test for him.”

Chua has held Group 1 Singapore Derby, run over 2000m in July, aspirations for Super Gold since he won the Group 3 Committee’s Prize last August.

He said the gelding was likely to run in the Group 2 Queen Elizabeth II Cup over 2000m on April 23.

“I asked John to take the sit off Jolie’s Shinju today,” said Chua. “We thought she would go out and lead and we have been trying to get him to settle.

“We’ll give him a bit of a break now and look at running in the Queen Elizabeth to see how he handles the distance.”

Powell was suitably impressed with the winning performance of Super Gold and believes the gelding has the class to be a Derby contender.

“Sam has done a very good job with this horse,” said Powell. “I was mindful of not allowing Jolie’s Shinju to get too far away from me.

“He settled really well and ran the distance out strongly. I don’t think the Derby distance will be any problem,” said the former Derby winning jockey who was successful back in 2005 aboard Hello And Goodbye.

With his victory on Sunday, Super Gold, a four-year-old by Golden Snake from the Made Of Gold mare Gold Patriot, recorded his sixth win from 21 starts and took his prizemoney to around $600,000 for the Rich Stable.

Makybe Diva - best racehorse of the last decade!

Diva queen of the decade

By Ray Thomas

Diva queen of the decade

RACING editor Ray Thomas highlights the stars of the turf from the past 10 years, including Makybe Diva, Sunline and Northerly.

Even if you didn't back her, when The Diva sprinted to the lead halfway down the straight, you couldn't help but cheer.

We were watching racing history as Makybe Diva completed her Cup "three-peat" and secured a place among the pantheon of Australian turf greats.

There have been some mighty racehorses grace the turf over the last 10 years but none better than Makybe Diva.

As the decade draws to a close, The Daily Telegraph's racing editor Ray Thomas rates the 10 best racehorses of the era.

(1) Makybe Diva

Melbourne Cup (2003-04-05), Cox Plate (2005), Australian Cup (2005), The BMW (2005), Sydney Cup (2004)

Makybe Diva was once considered primarily a specialist 3200m handicapper. She won two races in the 2003-04 season and both were over the marathon distance with her rare Melbourne Cup-Sydney Cup double.

Lee Freedman then took over training Makybe Diva from Hong Kong-bound David Hall and successfully prepared the mare to become the first of her sex to win two Melbourne Cups in 2004.

But over the next 12 months, she showed extraordinary improvement. She was suddenly winning weight-for-age sprints over 1400m and was nearly unbeatable at 2000m and above.

In 2005, she won the Australian Cup, The BMW and Cox Plate then lined up to attempt an unprecedented third Melbourne Cup under the record weight of 58kg.

Glen Boss rode another perfect race on Makybe Diva and her third Cup triumph took her career earnings to an all-time record of $14.5 million.

Immediately after the race, Freedman and owner Tony Santic agreed the champion should be retired and that's when the trainer came up with his now-famous quote: "Go and find the smallest child on the course, because they will be the only person here who might see something like this again."

"The Diva" was voted number one over these famous and much loved racehorses as follows:

Sunline, Northerly ,Lonhro, Takeover Target, Weekend Hustler, Apache Cat, Tie the Knot, Elvestroem and Grand Armee

Makybe Diva truly was a phenomenon. We will never see her equal.

Golden Snake Newsflash

Hissing Sid a 5 year old son of Golden Snake was gallant in diving home for 3rd in the Group 3 Easter Cup over 2000m today at Caulfield. He was blocked for a run in the home strait and when a gap opened up he just ran out of ground and time as he picked himself up and got into stride , it was just too late to pick the winner up . A most impressive run second up from a spell which shows that the gelding is just starting to hit his straps this time in.

Desert King Newsflash

In Japan Desert King is certainly in fine form. His youngsters are a regular presence in the winners circle...again on the 27th of this month Desert King had four winners on the same day at the same meeting. Three year old filles Cherry Morning and Muntasira both won their events as well as the 4 year old mare Dream Flower and 7 year old mare Shako Vanilla won in fine style . What a run this stallion is having in that part of the world.
