Aaron Bain Racing celebrated Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup win by Knight’s Choice through winning jockey Robbie Dolan.

Just under a year ago, Dolan was the special guest at the ABR Gala Dinner at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

The affable Irishman sung his way into our hearts and pockets courtesy of a Sunshine Coast winner, and many of the ABR supporters have followed him since and we are sure a few probably have had a dollar or two on him on Tuesday.

ABR celebrated Melbourne Cup day with our own winner at Morphettville, SHOOTOOSE.

Ridden by Manoel Nunes, SHOOTOOSE arrived late to take out the Sportsbet Same Race Multi Handicap (1200m).

The race was a heat of the Sportsbet Riziz Series and now qualifies him for a start in the $105,000 final over 1200 metres at Morphettville on Saturday, November 23.

Now, it is on to Saturday where ABR will have five runners at Morphettville Parks. RUBAMOS returns to racing in race two, the SkyCity Handicap (1250m), at 12.57pm SA time.

Jason Holder will ride, jumping from the outside gate in a field of seven. The seven-year-old has not raced since June when he finished down the line in the

Gold Topaz but did win a trial at Balaklava over 1050m and has won first up three times from seven preparations.

After opening at $9, RUBAMOS has drifted to $11 with the favourite Delightful Shecky at $3.

MYRTLE CREEK is the next runner for trainers Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor in race three, the Sportsbet Fast Form Handicap (1400m) at 1.29pm SA time.

Manoel Nunes will ride coming from gate eight in a field of 10.

MYRTLE CREEK has had two runs back from a spell and is now ready to improve.

There was early support for MYRTLE CREEK which firmed from $41 into $17 with

Spirit Of Camelot the favourite at $2.70.

NULLIFY is in good form and steps out in race five, the Peter Elberg Funerals Handicap (1550m) at 2.52pm SA time.

The on-pace runner will have Ben Price in the saddle jumping from barrier six in a
field of 12.

NULLIFY was an excellent winner around the Parks circuit two starts back before leading and being attacked at his last run. He will be competitive again.

The TAB market framers believe this is an open race but that NULLIFY has a strong chance and opened her a $5 favourite.

BOOMSONG contests race eight, the Dominant Handicap (1250m) at 4.52pm SA time.

No luck the draw, barrier 14 in a field of 14 which includes two emergencies so whatever the scratchings, he will start from the extreme outside. Jason Holder has been booked to ride.

The six-year-old was not disgraced when resuming at Balaklava and can definitely improve but the draw does not help.

The TAB give him little chance and he has been a drifter from $21 to $34.

ABR’s day rounds out with MIGHTY SAPPHIRE in race nine, the Sportsbet Set A Deposit Limit Handicap (1400m).

Manoel Nunes will ride, but again another wide draw of 11 in a field of 17 with three emergencies.

MIGHTY SAPPHIRE did not have the best of runs when fifth at Morphettville at his last run and it will be interesting to see him have his first run at 1400m.

There was strong early support for MIGHTY SAPPHIRE, and he was backed from $6 into $3.70 before easing to $3.90 with the favourite Chakado at $3.

ABR’s attention then heads to Globe Derby Park.

AMERICAN BEAUTY kicks off the night coming from gate seven in race three, the Ladbrokes Communities Pace (2230m) with Wayne Hill in the sulky at 7.26pm SA time.

ABR then will seek another Oaks win in the Listed Ladbrokes South Australian Pacing Oaks (1800m) with two runners at 9.08pm SA time.

Victoria Oaks placegetter SHOWSOMEJOY comes across for trainer Emma Stewart and has drawn seven with Gaita Pullicino in the sulky while trainer Aaron Bain will gear up SHEZAMAJORSTAR with the number 10 saddlecloth and Wayne Hill to drive.

With Coastal Babe’s Victoria Oaks and WATERFRONT’S Tasmanian Oaks in the trophy cabinet, ABR is looking for the treble on Saturday.

Our night concludes with PAY ME MORTGAGE coming from gate two in race nine, the What The Hill Ca @ Woodlands Stud Pace (1800m) at 10.50pm SA time.

Friday at Melton Harness is a big night with the heats of the feature Breeders Crown series at ABR will be well represented.

Our team will be striving to make the $100,000 finals at Melton on Saturday, November 16.

ABR’s first runner will be the newcomer CAPTAIN PERFECT in heat two of the IRT Breeders Crown for two-year-old colts & geldings, race three at b6.32pm SA time.

After doing his early work with the ABR team in Gawler, he is now with trainer Emma Stewart and will be driven by Connor Clarke coming from barrier one.

KISS and WATERFRONT will represent ABR in heat one of the Nutrien Equine Breeders Crown for three-year-old fillies, race six at 7.58pm SA time.

The Emma Stewart-trained pair have drawn gates one and two with James Herbertson to drive KISS from the inside draw with Mark Pitt in the sulky of the last-start Tasmanian Oaks winner WATERFRONT.
