Canterbury preview: No Drama set for more success at favourite track
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. The old saying 'horses for courses' holds firmly for Goulburn trainer Matthew Dale, which is why he has patiently waited for Wednesday's meeting at Canterbury. Dale's five-year-old gelding No Drama has shown a real love for the circuit with two wins and a close second from three starts. His first win at Canterbury came July last year at just his second start for Dale while his other win and second placings came in his last three starts. He led all-the-way to beat Naval Commission over 15050m on April 30 and was just caught late by Nana's Wish over the same distance on June 18. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'He's got a real liking for those sort of rolling, tight-turning tracks. He seems very suited to them,' Dale said. 'He's got a good record at Canterbury and he's also won at Moonee Valley as well. 'He nearly pinched it at Canterbury last start and the horse who beat him, has come out and won again since so the form if very solid.'

The son of Ghibellines can add to that record in the All Too Hard @ Vinery Stud Handicap (1550m) despite his top weight of 62.5kg. 'We have targeted these races with him but with his benchmark, he is just up in the weights a bit,' Dale said. 'He has ticked over well and stayed nice and sharp with a number of weeks between runs waiting for this race.' Dale was happy with Ringarosa when fourth to Romeo's Choice over 1000m at Warwick Farm on July 2 at her first run in nearly eight months and first for the stable. 'I thought she would be well placed first-up and she ran accordingly,' he said. 'It was a funny day. It was a Heavy 10 and usually they come down the outside at Warwick Farm but they were coming up the rail and through the ruck that day. 'The form out of her race has obviously stood up too with Romeo's Choice winning again at Rosehill on Saturday.' Ringarosa was an acceptor in two races but Dale has elected for the Benchmark 64 Broadsiding @Darley Handicap (1250m) where she has drawn barrier 3. The six-year-old daughter of Sebring hasn't won for over two years but she is a winner over this track and distance. 'She has won at Canterbury and I think the step up in trip looks suitable.'

I can't believe how I reacted at my gender reveal, sure I was disappointed but I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life
WHILE most parents would be happy whatever gender their baby is born as, the same can't be said for one mum who admitted to her immediate thoughts after finding out she was having a boy. Desperate for a girl, Monique Tibbott was instead reduced to tears at the gender reveal of their soon to be born baby when the colour blue appeared inside of the cake. 3 Monique was adamant she was having a second girl throughout her pregnancy. The 21-year-old from Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia, explained: 'All I know is pink. All I know is being a girl mom – I have never experienced raising a boy and it's just terrifying to me. 'I feel so guilty and like the worst mom in the world because when I saw the baby's gender in that cake, my heart sank. 'I'm going to feel guilty for the rest of my life for how I reacted; I'm never going to forget how I thought when I first found out about him.' Throughout her pregnancy, the stay-at-home mum had been convinced she was expecting a second girl; and after already having her daughter, Delilah, it was something she thought she'd be better equipped for. However, that dream soon diminished for Monique during the gender reveal, alongside her husband Brandon; when after uncovering the gender, her reaction failed to live up to expectation. Monique told how she then spent the next few days in tears while trying to process the news. With her reaction failing to live up to the hype and expectation of what gender reveals typically do, she is conscious she tarnished the special day with her emotion. Becoming a parent to a boy is a reality that scares Monica as she stared down a barrel in fear on how to bring her son up. Having had the experience in how to raise her daughter, Monique fears bringing a boy up will be a completely different scenario. Love Islander reveals if his unborn baby is a boy or a girl at incredible gender reveal party with The Challenge star girlfriend Monique also told how she's struggled to find a name for a boy she's really settled on – with that being in stark contrast for girl's name, which she could name ten for. Speaking more about her reaction to the news of her expecting a boy, Monique told: 'I feel angry at myself for how I reacted because I should have just been grateful and happy that he's healthy and that I have the fertility ability to carry a baby. 'I know that probably pregnancy hormones are a huge factor to play here, but I think that I was just more shocked and not able to process it because I was so certain I was having a girl. 'I just feel very alone, and I feel so bad for Brandon because I ruined his day. He was so excited, and I just dimmed it with my reaction.'

Death of young inmate at Goulburn Correctional Centre 'unnecessary', NSW coroner finds
A New South Wales coroner says it is "extraordinary" that a "young, vulnerable" inmate was left alone for 18 hours before he was found dead in his prison cell. Warning: This story contains references to suicide. On Tuesday Deputy State Coroner Joan Baptie handed down her findings into the death of a 19-year-old, only identified as "Joel", at the Goulburn Correctional Centre in 2022. He was found unresponsive in his single-bed cell on the morning of July 25. Joel had been charged with a robbery while armed with a fishing knife in May 2022 and was on remand while his matter was before the courts. In July he was moved into a two-bed cell at the Goulburn facility and on the 24th of that month he passed a small, handwritten note to a correctional officer requesting to be moved. The 19-year-old was relocated to a one-bed cell the same day. The inmate was not seen again until 8:30 the following morning, when he was found dead. "Joel was left by himself for 18 hours without human contact or wellbeing observations by correctional officers," Magistrate Baptie said. Goulburn Correctional Centre governor Leah Nicholson told the inquest that due to staffing and funding shortages officers could not conduct cell observations on inmates who were not declared at risk of self-harm. Magistrate Baptie found that increased staffing levels and funding may have allowed Joel to be observed, but said that was predicated on him communicating concerns about his mental health. She also found it "extraordinary" that inmates were served dinner at 2pm and were not provided with additional food until breakfast was delivered at 7am. "Inmates are deprived of their liberty, however, [they] should not be exposed to unnecessary hardship and deprivation, including the timeliness of the provision of food," Magistrate Baptie said. Joel was found to have died by suicide in his cell. Magistrate Baptie noted that the Coroner's Court had been advised "repeatedly" by Corrective Services NSW (CSNSW) areas of risk pertaining to self-harm in prisons were being addressed by a capital works program. She said it was of "significant concern" that the infrastructure of the cell had permitted Joel to take his own life. "It is also of concern that [the cell] has not been decommissioned, but is simply no longer operational at this time," Magistrate Baptie said. Joel asked to be moved out of the two-bed cell because he feared for his safety. The 19-year-old was concerned other inmates would find out that he had given police information about co-offenders allegedly involved in his crime. He requested to be placed in a wing that provided greater protection, which required an officer to fill out an assessment application. The application was not completed before Joel died. Magistrate Baptie noted that it was unknown whether his placement in the higher-protection unit would have positively impacted his low mood. She recommended CSNSW provide training to correctional officers about policies governing inmates' requests to move cells. Magistrate Baptie also recommended an assessment used to determine whether an inmate needed increased protection due to safety concerns be conducted within four hours of a request. "[Joel] was a loyal and supportive friend and hardworking colleague," she said. CSNSW has been contacted for comment.

Shayne O'Cass's tips, inside mail for Goulburn, Muswellbrook on Tuesday, July 8, 2025
Form analyst Shayne O'Cass provides his best bets and race-by-race analysis for Goulburn and Muswellbrook on Tuesday. â– â– â– â– â– GOULBURN TIPS BEST BET Race 5 No.3 WEXFORD MISS: Races well at home, excels at the trip and handles it wet. NEXT BEST Race 7 No.6 GREYGENTA: Lightly-raced filly who possesses a big finish. Go well. VALUE Race 6 No.11 NAMBI GHIMA: Best runs so far have been on Heavy tracks. Good longshot. QUADDIE Race 4: 2,6,9,10 Race 5: 3 Race 6: 3,6,8,11 Race 7: 4,6 JOCKEY TO FOLLOW Keagan Latham is less than a month away from winning another Provincial title. GOULBURN INSIDE MAIL SHADY ROAD (10) has also accepted for Muswellbrook today. Long story short; he was a $650,000 Easter Yearling purchase who has trialled really well without having been shown up or shown off. CRIMSON WINGS (9) is ready to go to the races after two trials, one good, the other one – very good. Hails forms a great NZ family. SHREDDED (6) was well-backed on debut at Kembla. Beaten but could be a big improver. BET: SHADY ROAD (10) each-way or if scratched CRIMSON WINGS (9) to win. WEXFORD MISS (3) is a Kembla winner for the O'Shea/Charlton. Still with Champion Thoroughbreds, she has twice finished runner-up inside her five runs for Danielle Seib who has found the perfect fit for the mare today. CRAZY ATOM (4) will very much appreciate the 1400m second-up, off his 1200m return last month. Has sound numbers on Heavy tracks. Forbes resident EAST HARLEM (7) is crying out for 1400m now. BET: WEXFORD MISS (3) (best bet), Daily Double 1st Leg 3, 2nd Leg 6. NAMBI GHIMA (11) is unplaced in six starts but her best run so far was on a Heavy track at Nowra. The Jason Coyle bred, owned and trained filly also trialled rather well on occasions on Heavy tracks at Warwick Farm. THE BIG BLUE (6) was warming to the task big time when third at Wyong first-up. This big track will suit him better, so will the mile. Ditto that for OMAHA SAND (3) who has miler written all over him. GREYGENTA (6) is a ghostly grey like her sire, D'Argento, the Rosehill Guineas winner. This Gary Portelli trained $35,000 weanling purchase has done some good things in her five starts so far. Her win at Queanbeyan was bordering on the unbelievable; they don't often win from last of 10 like she did that day. Market watch advised. Her biggest danger – and obstacle – is the stablemate SCULPTOR (4) whose lone win was on a heavy 8 at Goulburn. Drawn wide but not a terribly big field. BET: GREYGENTA (6) to win or if scratched SCULPTOR (4) to win. â– â– â– â– â– MUSWELLBROOK TIPS NEXT BEST Race 1 No.3 HE'STHECHIEF: Local who has his foot firmly on the till. VALUE Race 3 No.7 BELLERATA: First starter from a good barn who has trialled well. SWEXAN (5) is a son of Sweynesse out of a mare by Melbourne Cup placegetter Jakallberry. There is no doubt with that sort of pedigree that Swexan will run at very least a mile and probably more. If that is true, then he has to be marked 'up' on that distant third on debut at Wyong over 1100m. REBEL RHAPSODY (1) has placed at three of his six starts, all at the provincials, one by a nose at Kembla. Has trialled well. EMPRESS TSARINA (4) demands respect. BET: SWEXAN (5) to win. TANGLEWOOD JIMMY (7) is a handy horse who has finished 'out of the frame' once in 10 starts and that was on a Heavy 10 at Rosehill at the end of a pretty long and successful campaign. He was very hard to miss late in the race first-up here. Progressive type. GALANO (1) has 65kg which doesn't automatically rule him out but is he a 10kg better horse than 'Jimmy'? Doubt it but we'll see. LUSKAIRE (3) and POCKET EIGHTS (4) have claims. BET: TANGLEWOOD JIMMY (7) to win (best bet), Daily Double 1st Leg 7, 2nd Leg 5. SUPERHERO (1) has accepted for two races at Canterbury on Wednesday. Should he be absent today, it could open the door for the 2022 Rockhampton Capricornia Yearling Sale Classic 2YO Plate winner, Sammiballerina to waltz back into the winner's stall. Sure, she doesn't win often but her other victory was here at home over this same trip. EIGHTY EIGHT STARS (5) is a track/distance winner. GOLDEN HONOUR (6) has won three times on Heavy. PRINCESS MARY (5) has two wins and three seconds from 15 starts. More impressive however are her first-up stats if one win and two seconds from five fresh runs. She handles Good to Heavy. On face value, the 1000m is short of her best but her best is good enough to win this and she is first-up remember off a smashing trial win. TOOMUCHINFORMATION (3) and WITHSTAND (4) are likewise first-up. As for Bullock's mount, Toomuchinformation, he trialled well in the Princess Mary heat.
