WIDDUP'S GOSFORD DOUBLE WITH PAIR OF FILLIES

THURSDAY: June 18, 2026: HAWKESBURY’S leading trainer Brad Widdup sent two horses to Gosford today – and the lightly-raced three-year-olds gave him a 100 per cent result.  

Widdup’s successes in consecutive races were with a pair of homebreds, Mind Ya Bizz and Satono Jasmine.

Mind Ya Bizz (Tommy Berry) as a $1.70 favorite broke through in the 3YO Maiden Handicap (1200m), and Satono Jasmine (Chad Schofield) did the same at $3.30 in the Provincial Maiden Plate (1600m).

The double lifted Widdup’s number of winners so far this season to 56, only seven short of last season’s 63.

Mind Ya Bizz, a daughter of Heroic Valour, was bred by Ralph Tierney, and John Clancy bred Satono Aladdin filly Satono Jasmine from the High Chaparral mare High Spin.

Mind Ya Bizz was having her sixth start and Satono Jasmine her fifth, and both fillies won in manners suggesting it won’t be the last time they greet the judge out in front.

Against only four rivals, Berry made sure he kept in touch with main rival Rising Revolution ($2.80) and had her covered in the straight.

“Mind Ya Bizz has kept improving, and that win will give her confidence,” Widdup said this evening.

“She ran well first-up when runner-up at Hawkesbury a fortnight ago, and got the job done today.”

Satono Jasmine, aided by a freakish ride from Schofield, blitzed her rivals.

After being last at the 600m, Schofield thought about trying to loop the field, but decided against it.

He went back inside the tiring $101 outsider Madam Makwela, and the filly took advantage of clear running thereafter to charge away in the straight.

Satono Jasmine scored by more than four lengths from Sirius Moss ($3.10), with fellow Hawkesbury trainer Steve O’Halloran’s $3 favorite Copartner Pegasus third.

“It was a great ride,” Widdup said.

“Satono Jasmine didn’t have things go her way at Wyong last start, and she was ready after three runs back.

“The way she won suggest she will get over a distance, as her breeding indicates.”

Widdup intends sending Hyperbolic back north next week in an endeavour to secure a feature Brisbane winter carnival success with her.

He brought the mare home after her third in the $500,000 Magic Millions National Classic (1600m) at Eagle Farm on June 6.

She had been beaten narrowly a fortnight earlier in the Group 3 Fillies & Mares Mile at Doomben.

“I’m keen to try her at 2100m against her own sex in the Listed Tattersall’s Gold Crown,” Widdup said.

“But we’ll also have a look at the Listed Tattersall’s Mile (1600m).”
