Angela Jones suspended after Eagle Farm treble which hurts her premiership hopes
Angela Jones' Eagle Farm treble saw her snatch the lead in the Brisbane jockeys' premiership, but her title hopes were dented by a suspension from the Group 1 Tatt's Tiara. Jones' tremendous trio of winners gave her a one-win lead over good friend and fellow jockey Emily Lang. But there was a sting in the tail late in the day with stewards grilling Jones over her ride on fifth-placed favourite Floozie in the Group 1. • 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! Stewards also had winning jockey Tom Sherry in the room, in an inquiry into Jones shifting out on Floozie and Sherry shifting in on winner Tashi, going past the 200m mark. Runner-up Abounding and roughie Bubba's Bay were the meat in the sandwich in the incident. Jones pleaded not guilty, insisting to stewards that the shift from Sherry on Tashi had 'more than half'' the bearing on the interference. 'I don't think it's worthy of a charge,' Jones said. Stewards disagreed, charging Jones with careless riding and suspending her for 10 days to start after next Saturday's Winx Guineas meeting on the Sunshine Coast. Chief steward Josh Adams said the shift from Sherry had been taken into consideration when imposing Jones' penalty. The riding ban is the last thing Jones needed on the day she hit the lead in the Brisbane premiership race and she seems almost certain to appeal to the Queensland Racing Appeals Panel. Immediately after imposing Jones' suspension, stewards had Sherry back in the room. They found he was only 20 per cent culpable for the incident and issued the former Irishman with a severe reprimand. It somewhat soured a great day for Jones, who also surged past 100 winners for the Australian racing season.

The Last Say: Tips, late mail and market movers for 2025 Tatt's Tiara day on Saturday, June 28, 2025
Eagle Farm hosts the 76th and final Group 1 race of the 2024-25 season with the $700,000 Tatt's Tiara (1400m) today. Trainer Chris Waller and jockey James McDonald are hoping to cap their outstanding seasons when they combine with Firestorm, rated a $4.40 chance in latest Tiara betting. Waller is hoping for a record-extending 20th Group 1 win for the season while McDonald can equal 'Miracle' Mal Johnston's long-standing riding record of 16 majors set in 1979-80. But the Peter Snowden -trained Tashi is looming as a major chance in the Tiara. The mare is one of the most consistent in training but she is still chasing her first black type success. It would be some feat if her first stakes win was at Group 1 level. At Rosehill Gardens, the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott -trained French import Elamaz is $3.90 favourite to make a winning Australian debut in the Listed $200,000 WJ McKell Cup (2000m). Elamaz, who is raced in similar interests to another former French horse Eliyass, has not missed a top two finish in his seven starts, winning four races, but he has never raced beyond 1600m. At Caulfield, there has been a huge betting plunge on the Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman -trained Mercurial Lady to win the Ive Handicap (1200m). Mercurial Lady has firmed from $4.20 into $3.50 favouritism after consistent support including bets of $600 at $4.20 five times, $500 at $4.20 three times, $1000 at $4.05, $670 at $4 three times, $500 at $4 three times and $720 at $3.80 three times. â– â– â– â– â– TRACK CONDITIONS ROSEHILL GARDENS Weather: Cool, mostly sunny day and a forecast top temperature of 17c.

Simon Marshall gives us his best 2-leg multi of the day at Caulfield on Saturday ✅ — Racenet (@RacenetTweets) June 27, 2025 â– â– â– â– â– BE WARY Rosehill is rated a good 4 with the rail moved to 6m out (from 3m two weeks ago). Jockeys steered away from the inside at the last meeting but with a good track rating it is expected the track should play evenly. Eagle Farm is just in the soft range with the rail out 6m after being 4m out two weeks ago. Eagle Farm has been favouring leaders in recent weeks and the rail placement today is expected to advantage those on speed again. Caulfield's rail is out 12m which is usually advantageous for leaders but the track rating of a soft 6 does even things up a little. Like always, watch early races carefully for any discernible track bias. "I went away last week, but I was itching to get back." Tony Gollan was eager to return home from Royal Ascot as he shoots for the stars with improving mare Floozie in the Group 1 Tatt’s Tiara. @bendorries76 @tonygollan @Racing_QLD — Racenet (@RacenetTweets) June 26, 2025 â– â– â– â– â– ROSEHILL GARDENS TIPS BEST BET: Race 4 No.5 WEEPING WOMAN ran well first-up on an unsuitable heavy track when third to Liberty State at Rosehill then led for a long way in a fast-run race only to be collared near the line by a very impressive Sacred Rocks. It took a good horse to beat Weeping Woman last start but she is primed third-up from a spell. The firmer track is in her favour and she will make her own luck riding the speed. There's been solid support for Weeping Woman this week and she is ready to win. Sacred Rocks storms home on the outside to win the last at Rosehill! 🚀 @CMaherRacing @djgibbons22 — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) June 14, 2025 THE NEXT BEST: Race 3 No.9 PUNTIN resumed with a close second behind The Great Houdini at Canterbury when he fought under a big weight in a tight finish. He's very genuine – five starts for three wins and two seconds – and will be improved by that narrow first-up loss. He's drawn a little awkward but has good tactical speed and could either lead or settle outside the leader – either way he will be in a controlling position. Puntin wins on debut! 🤩 @RachelK11 @BBakerRacing — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) December 15, 2024 VALUE BET: Race 7 No.3 HOPEFUL hasn't won for three years but his recent form is solid and he gets his chance in the Stayer's Cup. He ran a competitive fifth in the Group 2 Chairman's Handicap in April then last start when he got back onto a soft 5 track he ran a close third to Sir Lucan in the Winter Cup. Hopeful will enjoy the drying track here and at $9 he's worth a gamble for his attempt to break a long winning drought. What a finish at Rosehill! Sir Lucan fights off Bear On The Loose to win the Listed Winter Cup! â�'ï¸� — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) June 14, 2025 THE WHISPER: Race 6 No.1 GREEN SHADOWS ran a blinder when sixth in the Civic Stakes last week. He drew the 'car park' and had to go back to near last in a big field before he charged through the ruck to be beaten two lengths behind Headley Grange. The true merit of Green Shadows' effort was reflected in the sectional times – he ran his final 600m in 34.90s with a closing 200m of 12.30s which were among the best splits all day. Green Shadows gets out to 1500m which suits and it is worth noting he has won on the seven-day back-up previously when going from 1400m to 1600m. .@GRyanRacing make it back-to-back Goulburn Cup wins! ðŸ�† Green Shadows wins the Goulburn Cup with @RachelK11 on board 🙌 — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) August 25, 2024 â– â– â– â– â– EAGLE FARM TIPS BEST BET: Race 6 No.3 MARE OF MT BULLER was very impressive when she got out to 1900m for the Epona Stakes and reeled in her rivals to win with authority. Her two runs since have been good efforts – third in The Coast and fifth in the Magic Millions National Classic – but they were over 1600m which is a short of this mare's best distance. Mare Of Mt Buller gets out to 2100m for the Gold Crown, she's in a fillies and mares race, drawn perfectly in barrier two and gets James McDonald. There's a lot to like about her today.

Central Coast has since won to frank the form. Autumn Boy is going to be much better suited on a bigger track like Eagle Farm and going out to 1400m. Promising two-year-old who has been heavily backed from $4.20 into $3.70 after bets of $600 and $500 at $4.20, $666 a $4.15, $1725 at $4.05, $500 at $4 twice and $500 at $3.80. 😲 | Chris Waller may have unearthed two promising colts at Canterbury, but it wasn’t the result punters wanted with $51 outsider Autumn Boy running down $1.4m stablemate Central Coast. @RayThomas_1 @cwallerracing — Racenet (@RacenetTweets) June 9, 2025 VALUE BET: Race 8 no.13 TASHI has been placed seven times in stakes races – she has 10 career second placings in her 25-start career – and here she is trying to win her first stakes race in a Group 1! But this is the very consistent Tashi's chance. The Peter Snowden-trained mare goes to the Tatt's Tiara with a hat-trick of second placings in stakes races including her narrow loss to Floozie in the Dane Ripper Stakes. Tashi is well drawn, should be able to find cover in the front half of the field and she will be hitting the line hard. Floozie brains them in the G2 Dane Ripper Stakes! ðŸ'¥ @tonygollan — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) June 14, 2025 THE WHISPER: Race 9 No.8 NEED SOME LUCK, also from the Snowden stable, has been devoid of luck in successive Listed grade races, finishing second on the Gold Coast and then second again at Eagle Farm. On both occasions, he began slowly, settled back in the field, and has had to defy track bias to finish as close as he did. Need Some Luck, a half-brother to former champion sprinter Chautauqua, is bursting to win a race and gets his chance in the Healy Stakes. ðŸ�€ That's three wins in a row to Need Some Luck, who wins first up at Randwick! @SnowdenRacing1 | @TommyBerry21 | @aus_turf_club — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) April 19, 2025 â– â– â– â– â– TAB FIXED ODDS BIG BETS AND MARKET MOVERS Lady Extreme has given trainer Blake Ryan every indication she’s ready to back up her slashing first-up performance at Rosehill on Saturday. — Racenet (@RacenetTweets) June 27, 2025 â– â– â– â– â– LADBROKE BIG BETS AND MARKET MOVERS ROSEHILL GARDENS Race 1: Khumbila $18-$9.50 with a bet of $150 at $11 Race 2: New Pharoah $5.50-$3.60, Pensitava with bets of $250 at $9.50, $250 at $9, Salute Again $13-$8.50 with a bet of $250 at $9, Red Rags To Bulls $14-$8 with a bet of $155 at $14 Race 3: Soldier Of Rome $26-$14, Don't Forget Jack $6-$3.70 with bets of $525 at $4.80, Puntin $1000 at $4.20, Tasoraay $1000 and $500 at $4.40, $595 at $3.50 Race 4: Captain Amelia with a bet of $500 at $6.50, Weeping Woman $4.20-$3.50 with a bet of $500 at $3.60, Mia Ballerina $12-$7.50 with bets of $180 at $12, Super Norwest $12-$6.50 with a bet of $180 at $12 Race 5: Livin' Thing $5.50-$4.20 including a bet of $560 at $4.60 Race 6: Green Shadows $8.50-$7.50 with bets of $500 at $8, $300 w/p at $7.50/$2.30, Thunderlips $5.50-$3.40, Testator Silens $20- $15 Race 7: Mormona $14-$7, Casual Connection $4.50-$3.20 with bets of $570 at $4.50, Bacio Del Mist $17-$7 with bets of $140 at $15 Race 8: Piggyback $5.50-$3.80 Race 9: Elamaz $4.80-$4 with a bet of $1000 at $4.80, Glory Daze $6-$3.90, Townsend $10-$7 Race 10: Eye Of The Fire $9-$6, Unstopabull $500 at $10), Snack Bar $5.50-$3.30 with a bet of $530 at $4.80, Liberty State $7.50-$5 EAGLE FARM Race 1: Mishani Lily $3.60-$2.25 with a bet of $835 at $3.40, Break Free $4-$2.70 Race 2: He's Heaven $20-$12, John Rambo $4-$3, Termagent $500 at $3.80 Race 3: Invahir $8.50-$4.80, Kazza's Jet $31-$12 Race 4: Brave Design $3.60-$3.30 with bets of $800 at $3.50, Autumn Boy $4.20-$3.70 with bets of $600 and $500 at $4.20, $666 a $4.15, $1725 at $4.05, $500 at $4 twice, $500 at $3.80 Race 5: Banker's Choice $9.50-$6.50, Mr Waterville $21-$7 with a bet of $165 at $13 Race 6: Mare Of Mt Buller $3.60-$2.80 with a bet of $770 at $3.60, Thalassophile $16-$11 with bets of $135 at $16, Quietness $6-$4.80 with a bet of $525 at $4.80, $650 at $4.40 Race 7: Rising Pacific with a bet of $1000 w/p at $9.25/$2.90, The Inflictor $6.50-$4 with a $365 bet at $6.50 Race 8: Grinzinger Belle with a bet of $500 at $14, Infancy $35-$19, Floozie $2000 at $4.60, $500 at $4.50, $550 at $4.40 Race 9: Metalart $8.50-$6.50, Midnight In Tokyo $26-$14 CAULFIELD Race 1: Frostnip $14-$8.50 with a bet of $155 at $14 Race 2: Manolo Bling $3.50-$2.60, Trembles $5-$4.20 with bets of $300 at $5, $525 at $4.80 twice Race 3: Stage 'N' Screen $5-$3.70 with a bet of $500 at $5, Xarpo $300 at $7.50, Mercurial Lady $4.20-$3.50 with bets of $600 at $4.20 five times, $500 at $4.20 three times, $1000 at $4.05, $670 at $4 three times, $500 at $4 three times, $720 at $3.80 three times Race 4: Harry's Yacht $4.80-$3.50 with a bet of $500 at $5, Race 5: Euphoric $500 at $5, Captain Electric $3.30-$3.80-$2.80 with a bet of $715 at $3.80 Race 6: Cheerstothat $5.50-$3.70 with a bet of $445 at $5.50 Race 7: Chinqui $7-$6.50 with bets of $250 each-way at $7/$2.40, Raikoke $7.50-$6 Race 8: Milford with bets of $300 and $150 at $14, Sayedaty Sadaty $5-$3.70 with a bet of $500 at $5, Fame $26-$15, Amberite $20-$7 with bets of $125 a $17, $180 at $12 Race 9: Run Harry Run $10-$6.50 with a bet of $220 at $10, The Open $625 at $4.20, $670 at $4 Yellow Sam continues her comeback at Caulfield on Saturday, coincidently 50 years ago to the day the Irish hurdler she is named after landed a massive betting plunge. @gilbertgardiner — Racenet (@RacenetTweets) June 27, 2025 â– â– â– â– â– INTERSTATE MAIL Caulfield Race 1 No.6 OYSTER LANE Caulfield Race 3 No.10 MERCURIAL LADY Caulfield Race 6 No.3 THE BLACK CLOUD Caulfield Race 9 No.10 THE OPEN Morphettville Race 4 No.6 FICKLE Morphettville Race 6 No.12 MARK OF THE MAN Phillip Stokes colt Matahga will be hard to beat in the Oaklands Plate at Morphettville Parks as he sets out on a proven path to Group 1 success. — Racenet (@RacenetTweets) June 27, 2025 â– â– â– â– â–

Peter Snowden says promising mare Tashi is due for some luck in Group 1 Tatt's Tiara at Eagle Farm
Leading Sydney trainer Peter Snowden reckons his promising mare Tashi is due for some luck in Saturday's Group 1 Tatt's Tiara at Eagle Farm. The five-year-old mare has been agonisingly close to victories in her last three races, with the widest margin in those runner-up finishes being just half a length. Tashi goes into the $700,000 Tatt's Tiara (1400m) for fillies and mares as a $7.50 chance behind only the Chris Waller -trained Firestorm ($4.20) and Floozie ($4.40), who has won four straight races. 'She's been unlucky all right,' Snowden said about the daughter of Sebring. 'She's been racing really well but three times she's been beaten by a short half-head. 'It's been horrendous. She has been up for a really long time but I can't see any signs in her that she's had enough or she's tired. 'Her work has been great during the week and she looks in good order so hopefully there's one more peak performance in her. 'I'd love to see her win the Tatt's Tiara, that'd be fantastic.' Tashi has been remarkably consistent lately but the stats sheet still reads zero wins since she saluted in a Benchmark 88 (1200m) at Randwick in early March last year. Since that victory, she has finished runner-up five times from 12 races, including the last three. Another photo in the Listed Helen Coughlan Stakes at Eagle Farm with Zaszou getting there by a whisker! ðŸ'¸ @pstokesracing @Brown_ethan8 @BrisRacingClub — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) June 7, 2025 The mare has gone close in last month's Group 3 Hawkesbury Crown (1300m) won by City Of Lights, the Listed Helen Coughlan Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm claimed by Zaszou and the Group 2 Dane Ripper Stakes (1300m) two weeks ago when she charged home to almost beat Floozie. To compound Snowden's bad fortune this Queensland Winter Carnival, the appropriately named Need Some Luck narrowly missed out in the Listed Hinkler Handicap (1200m) at Eagle Farm and Media World was beaten by less than a quarter of a length in the Group 3 Fred Best Classic (1350m) at Doomben. 'We're hitting the crossbar all the time so we're due to get one between the posts,' he said. Meanwhile, punters have loaded up on the Kris Lees-trained Infancy, who has shortened this week from $35 to $19 in betting markets for the Tatt's Tiara, the final Group 1 of this season. The four-year-old mare has drawn the carpark with barrier 21 but Lees said it was 'not a big concern' for the backmarker. 'She gets back anyway and she's probably a better horse when she gets to the outside,' he said. 'I'd prefer a better gate but it's far from the end of the world. 'Floozie's the one to beat. She's a mare in form and you have to respect that but it's a typical mares' race – there's a stack of chances and she's one of them.' However, Infancy must pass a race-day vet check to take her place in the Group 1 after showing signs of lameness on Friday. Infancy won the Group 2 Sapphires Stakes (1200m) first-up at Randwick in April at odds of $21, beating star sprinters Commemorative and Lady Laguna. She then finished fifth in her next two 1200m races – on a bottomless track in the Listed ATC Trophy on the Gold Coast last month and in the Helen Coughlan Stakes three weeks ago when she couldn't find much room. Fairytale mare Adiella, trained by Toowoomba hobby trainer John Dann, will not take her place in the Group 1 Tatt's Tiara. Dann said the mare, who won a $500,000 race last start and was a $21 chance in the Tatt's Tiara, had banged her back leg and would be sent for a spell.

Kelly Schweida confident El Morzillo can defy her price to deliver him a third Group 1 Tatt's Tiara triumph
Kelly Schweida has made a pair of decisive strikes in the Group 1 Tatt's Tiara and he thinks bookmakers have offered up a tantalising price for filly El Morzillo to land a knockout blow on Saturday. The wily Eagle Farm trainer has won the Tatt's Tiara in 2016 with Miss Cover Girl and in 2007 with Nova Star. He will have another crack at the race on Saturday with three-year-old grey filly El Morzillo, who is not among the betting fancies as a $23 chance to score the last Group 1 of the Australian racing season. El Morzillo, who won a $1m restricted race down the Flemington straight in March, has hit the winter carnival scoreboard once with a win but has been unplaced in three other tries. However, Schweida thinks she has been racing well and points out she finished fourth behind Floozie in the Group 2 Dane Ripper Stakes with Firestorm finishing third. Chris Waller mare Firestorm is a $4.20 chance in the Tatt's Tiara. 'Floozie was good the other day and Firestorm was good, but I thought my filly's run was fine,' Schweida said. 'Going into the Tatt's Tiara, my filly is big odds whereas Firestorm who finished one ahead of us the other day is $4. 'I know my filly won this carnival when she was up on the speed, but that's not normally her go. 'The plan on Saturday will be to ride her quiet and let her finish off strongly. 'This race has been the idea for her the whole way through.' Meanwhile, Schweida will back-up Miss Joelene from her sixth-placed finish lumping 60kg in last Saturday's Ipswich Cup, which was won by bolter Flash Aah. Miss Joelene will race as a $4 chance in the Listed Tatt's Gold Crown (2100m) with the luxury weight of 56.5kg. Schweida expects Metalart to be a strong contender in the Group 3 Healy Stakes (1200m) after an eye-catching third behind stablemate Vodka Martini in the Listed Lightning Handicap. 'This is a strong race, but he has got a good barrier,' Schweida said. 'I thought his run in the Lightning was good, he got held up twice but he kept trying. 'He has won seven of his 13 starts and he probably should have won nine, he has got a good record. 'Jason Collett will ride, but that wasn't Plan A. 'Michael Rodd was Plan A, but he broke his hand. 'Jason is a very good replacement.' Metalart is a $7.50 chance in the Healy, in a betting market which has Need Some Luck and Hidden Wealth as the leading fancies.
