THURSDAY: October 23, 2025: HE’S confident he will do very well! Hawkesbury’s leading trainer Brad Widdup hasn’t hesitated to put Young Mister Grace’s unbeaten record on the line by testing his promising three-year-old in Listed company for his city debut at Royal Randwick on Saturday.

Ridden by Mathew Cahill, the $19 chance proved the strongest stayer when he ma

And the milestone moment in the 18-year-old’s brief career at Bathurst yesterday carried extra significance as both winners were for her master, leading Hawkesbury trainer Brad Widdup. Gorton began riding only three months ago, and her first winner (also for Widdup) was a leg of her inaugural double. She was successful on Forcefilly at Goulburn on September 12, and the mare, along with stablemate Don’t’callmekathy, provided the young jockey with a memorable day. Gorton won th

WEDNESDAY: October 15, 2025: HAWKESBURY husband and wife trainers Phil and Tara Vigouroux had a “throw at the stumps” with Just Shane in last Sunday’s 1600m Coonamble Cup. “It was a bit ambitious,” Phil Vigouroux said this morning. “We were hoping to get a spot in either the Big Dance or Little Dance at Royal Randwick next month. “It didn’t work out, but he still ran well to finish fifth (to Victorian visitor Justadeel) in a strong race after being trapped wide for the first
