Outback Ringer, a seasoned five-year-old sprinter, is poised to return to racing with a bang in the Benchmark 82 Summer Sizzler at Muswellbrook. The gelded son of Outreach, trained by Brett Cavanough, faces a competitive field, including stablemate Two Ya Got and promising filly Yukan Rose.
A sparingly raced five-year-old known for his speed on the country sprint circuit is set to make a strong comeback in the feature sprint at Muswellbrook on Monday. Outback Ringer, a gelded son of Outreach in the Brett Cavanough stable at Scone, resumes in a competitive Benchmark 82 Summer Sizzler over 1000m. On a track expected to be around Soft 5, Outback Ringer hasn't started since early August when finishing out of the placings in a feature BM 85 sprint at Dubbo.
Earlier in his campaign, he had a dominant BM 64 win at home on heavy ground, although subsequent runs didn't meet expectations. Outback Ringer is known for coming to hand quickly and despite no official trials, he has reportedly been working well. Despite opening around $4.60 as the early favorite, Outback Ringer faces tough challengers including his stablemate Two Ya Got ($6), also resuming after the spring without publicly trialling. Yukan Rose ($5.50), who is chasing a third win from four starts this preparation, provincial-based Akaka Falls, and Standing Bear (both around $7.50) make the Sizzler a race with plenty of depth.Promising filly Kantishna is primed to make it back-to-back wins for the Scott Singleton stable in the Class 1 opener over 900m. Then the Messara-Gavranich yard saddles up progressive three-year-old Dale as a likely hot favorite in a Maiden Plate over 1450m before smart filly Pensativa tackles a CL1 Hcp (1450m) fourth-up for the Lou Mary stable. The Cavanough camp is also confident unbeaten mare Chidiac can win again, despite drawing the outside barrier in a BM 58 Hcp over 1280m.Billy Loughnane finished his Australian riding stint with a win aboard odds-on favorite Yorkshire at Wyong before rushing off to prepare for his flight home to England. The 18-year-old Irish-born jockey gave the John O’Shea and Tom Charlton-trained Yorkshire a trouble-free run outside the lead before the four-year-old cruised to a two-length win in the benchmark 78 over 1350m, closing Saturday’s inaugural standalone program. Loughnane finished with four wins from 51 rides in his six-week debut in Australia, where he rode mostly for O’Shea and Charlton. He had no time to spare after the last, given he faced a day-long flight home and had rides booked at Lingfield on Monday. Loughnane will chase the all-weather premiership at home. He led the winter title with 20 winners before coming to Australia and is now 16 behind.Wyong Race Club expects The Lakes day to grow next year after a smooth running of the inaugural standalone program on Saturday. The provincial club catered for a crowd of more than 2000 for the 10-race metropolitan card, which also celebrated 150 years of racing at Wyong. The region copped more than 70mm of rain in the week leading into the meeting but the track, under the care of racecourse manager Phil Robinson, finished the day a Good 4 after starting a Soft 5. Wyong was the last provincial club to gain a standalone meeting. “We were really happy with how everything went,” club sponsorship and communications manager Andrew Hurley said. “A lot of people said they would be back next year, and they would tell their friends about it.
