Speedy filly Out Of Square scores fourth win in five starts at Murray Bridge
She's no flyer on the training track, but Out Of Square is bringing her best on race day. The speedy daughter of Hellbent nailed a fourth win in five starts at Murray Bridge on Saturday, as Richard and Chantelle Jolly continued a barnstorming run of form this month. Settling tailed off in a field of nine, jockey Jake Toeroek steered Out Of Square ($4.80 Sportsbet) to the outside at the 500m as she unleashed a powerful sprint to overhaul her rivals in a Benchmark 68 over 1200m. 'She's been a bit of a surprise packet really, at home she doesn't really show much, but it comes to race day and she really switches on,' Chantelle Jolly said. 'With the blinkers on her last two starts, it's helped her travelling in the run, at home you can hardly get her out of a canter – it's good for the connections.' • 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.

Toeroek now has an unblemished record of three wins from three rides on the filly, who is set to tackle the $105,000 Racing Rewards 3YO Plate (1200m) at Murray Bridge on June 14 before a possible stakes tilt. 'She's a mare that we keep pretty fresh at home, there's a rewards race coming up in three weeks, she'll go there and after that we might give her a little freshen up and look at something like the Lightning, try and get some stakes placing on her,' she said. 'Obviously we'll take it one run at a time, but that will be the goal.' • 'That was serious, wasn't it?': Antino makes Doomben Cup a one-act affair It was the first win of a race-to-race double for the Jolly yard, who also saluted with Great Maximus in race three. The father-daughter duo have been in a purple patch, scoring eight winners over the past fortnight, and notched a 400th winner as a training partnership with Star Sirius at Flemington last Saturday. Snoopy Now and Eroica were also impressive winners on Saturday. Eroica secured a riding double for leading apprentice Rochelle Milnes, after she won earlier in the day aboard Lake's Folly. Crown Mint ($26) pulled off a boilover, the gelding flying home under Taylor Johnstone to win a Benchmark 66 (1800m) for trainers Gordon Richards and Damien Moyle. • Lindsay Park declares War in Stradbroke It was a special day for apprentice jockey Caitlin Tootell, with the talented hoop nailing a first metro win aboard Novela ($13) for Michael Hickmott. Tootell allowed the gelding to roll along in front, stretching out to a lead of eight lengths at one stage. The pair looked vulnerable at the 300m as the chasing pack reeled them in, but the son of Valentia remarkably fought back to poke his head out on the line. Tootell had family trackside to celebrate the milestone. 'I heard them across the line, I didn't even know if I had it, but I kind of did because of the screaming,' Tootell said post-race. 'Thanks to Michael for putting me on, it's a pick-up ride so anything could happen. 'It's a relief, a big relief, (thanks to) my boss (Travis Doudle), my ex-bosses Shayne and Chelsea Cahill, my family and all my friends.' Victories with Lake's Folly and Novela saw Hickmott nail a double at his home track, splitting training honours with the Jolly's on the nine-race card.

Colton Ford: Popular Gay Porn Star Found Dead Aged 62 in Mysterious Hiking Trail Accident
Glenn Soukesian, a popular gay porn star, better known by his stage name Colton Ford, was found dead in a mysterious hiking incident near Palm Springs, California, officials have confirmed. Ford, 62, was found dead Monday evening on the Goat Trails in the desert region near Palm Springs, California, according to the Bay Area Reporter. Police found his body on Monday after friends reported him missing when he did not come back from a hike the previous day. While the exact cause of death is still unclear, a spokesperson for the Palm Springs Police Department told the Reporter that the local coroner has ruled out any signs of foul play. Tragic and Mysterious Death Lieutenant Mike Villegas, a spokesperson for the Palm Springs Police, said that there is currently no information available regarding the cause of death. "He was on a local hiking trail here in Palm Springs," Colton's friend Tim Wood wrote on Facebook. "The police have not shared the details of their findings yet, so we don't really know what happened to cause his death. My heart is broken - it's almost too much to take. "One of my best friends, a man who helped save my life many years ago. I miss you terribly. I can't stop the flood of tears." Hailing from Pasadena, Ford was considered a silver fox success story, beginning his adult film career at 40 and continuing for 22 years, according to Out magazine. Star in His Own Right In his illustrious career, the porn star collaborated with multiple production companies, including MRS Releasing, RawF—kClub, All Worlds, Mustang, and Falcon Studios. Before entering the adult film industry, Ford was a recording artist, and collaborated with Denise Rich's production company, MIDE Productions, as well as with Virgin Records. Outside of adult films, Ford appeared in movies such as "Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!," which featured RuPaul, and Hellbent, a thriller centered around a serial killer targeting a group of muscular men in West Hollywood. His last project was a 2023 R&B and pop album titled "Permission". Famous drag queen and adult film director Chi Chi LaRue paid tribute to Colton Ford in a post shared on Facebook. "I'm So Shocked and Saddened to Hear and Report the sudden passing of my friend and Icon Glen aka Colton Ford! You will missed! Keep Singing In Heaven!" LaRue wrote under his real name, Larry David Paciotti.

Lhasa to relish synthetic surface as Cambridge circuit returns
Lhasa has matched up in quality sprinting fields on the turf this campaign and he will pay for that success at Cambridge Synthetic on Wednesday as a clear topweight in the Ride For Jimmy 1300. The son of Hellbent announced himself a proper racehorse with four victories on the poly track, and while bringing that form to the turf up in grade is not an easy task, Lhasa did just that at Trentham in March, defeating open-class gallopers down the chute. The gelding followed up that effort with a tidy placing behind former champion 2-year-old Velocious at Te Aroha, and his trainer Mark Treweek felt the gelding deserved another opportunity after a tough effort for sixth last time out at Te Rapa. 'He's great, which is the reason why we've kept him going,' Treweek said. 'We were going to turn him out after his last race, but he didn't get the best run there and has done so well since, and he goes really well on the poly tracks, so we thought we'd give him one more run.
