Gai & Adrian TV 24th April 2026

Anzac Day racing takes place today at Royal Randwick, where Extremely Tempted returns in the 2YO Handicap over 1100 metres.

Playing By The Rules

Will Hudson aids us with programming and identifies who he thinks is the best placed horse each weekend. Extremely Tempted, Saturday 25th April, Royal Randwick, Race 1: Extremely Tempted couldn’t have been more impressive when winning on debut at Hawkesbury. It was a city-grade maiden and the options for two year olds that have won a race are limited, as you’re often forced into Stakes races. As such, this Saturday grade handicap is about as gentle a steppingstone as he can get. He sticks to 1100 metres but Randwick’s a stiff track and he maps to lead from barrier 7, so Regan should be able to get him travelling comfortably and set some even sectionals in the middle stages of the race. This is a lovely progression for him before he hopefully goes on to contest some bigger races up north, and I expect him to be hard to beat.  

Gai's Tip Sheet

THURSDAY 30th APRIL - WYONGRail Position: +3m EntireREVOLUTIONARY STAR, Race 7, 1100m, 3.50pm, R Bayliss, 58kg Revolutionary Star blotted his copybook when misbehaving at Gosford on Saturday which resulted in him being scratched. We’ve since had him back at the barriers at home to give him a positive experience, and our team will be alive to his quirks come race day to try and prevent a repeat. He gave us all such a big thrill when winning first-up over 1100 metres at Gosford. The leaders went hard up front so he was able to stalk a hot speed, and there was no faulting his attitude late as he took an inside run and responded gamely to the line. He’s come through that in brilliant order and he’s been full of confidence since, so he’s thriving ahead of this outing. Wyong is a similar track to Gosford so we’re confident he’ll handle its demands, and whilst he’ll probably appreciate slightly further in time he won over 1100 metres first-up so he sticks to this distance for now. He’s drawn an outside barrier in 10 so Regan will likely have to slot in and let him land where he’s comfortable in the run, much like he did first-up this preparation. The first run outside of maiden grade is never easy and this is no exception, as he’s taking on several older and more seasoned horses. However, he’s still unexposed and open to plenty of improvement so we expect him to rise to the challenge and run a big race.FRIDAY 1st MAY - WAGGARail Position: TrueETON, Race 1, 1200m, 12.45pm, R King, 59kg Eton is thriving ahead of his return. We’ve been incredibly patient with him but its paid dividends, because he’s matured into the loveliest gelding and he looks poised to give you all plenty of fun. His two trials this time in have been excellent, and they’ve given him the right fitness grounding with which to kick off his campaign. 1200 metres is a lovely starting point for him, and Rachel will be positive from barrier 12 to try and roll forward and get across into a more favourable inside position. He placed in town on debut as a three year old so we know what he’s capable of, and he’s been gelded since then which often brings about significant improvement. This is a valuable maiden to kick him off in, and whilst there will be plenty of improvement to come once he’s got a run under his belt we still expect him to be hard to beat.BEAR ON THE LOOSE, Race 7, 2000m, 4.20pm, R Bayliss, 54kg Bear On The Loose doesn’t know how to run a bad race and his close fourth at Randwick last time was no exception. He’s bounced through that run in terrific shape and he’s thriving on his racing, so we can’t fault him ahead of this outing. Regan knows him very well and he’ll roll forward from barrier 11 to settle him on or close to the speed, as we know he likes to race prominently and he’ll be suited by a genuinely run race. He ran well in this race last year and whilst he’s deeper into his campaign this time around he’s showing no signs of having had enough, and we see no reason why he won’t be featuring in the finish once more.

Home Affairs/De Grawin '24

This spectacular filly is a high-octane speed machine, hand-picked by Gai & Adrian for her immense power and athletic "look-at-me" attitude. By the dual Group 1 winning sprint sensation Home Affairs, the fastest son of I Am Invincible and the only 3YO to ever claim the Coolmore/Lightning double, she carries the deep girth and muscular frame required of a top-tier juvenile. A physical standout on the Gold Coast, she moves with a purposeful, ground-covering stride and possesses the professional temperament to thrive in the Tulloch Lodge system. The pedigree is a masterclass in "speed-on-speed," being the daughter of a 5-time winning Snitzel mare. This mating represents the most potent "Golden Cross" in the Australian Studbook today, I Am Invincible over Snitzel, a genetic formula proven to produce elite, precocious sprinters. With a family tree loaded with black-type performers, this filly possesses the "winning DNA" to compete at the highest level. Fully BOBS Eligible and purpose-built for the early 2YO features, she represents a blue-chip opportunity for owners targeting the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and the Golden Slipper path. Beyond her racetrack potential, her immense residual value as a daughter of a Snitzel mare makes her a premier investment for any racing portfolio.  HOME AFFAIRS UPDATE: His son Guest House won the Group 1 Golden SlipperGin Twist Winner of the Listed VRC at RandwickHe has already produced three individual stakes winners from his first 27 runners (an 11.11% strike rate)As of April 2026, he is the Champion First Season SireAt the Inglis Easter sales his progeny sold for an average of $381,364

Demonstrating the level of class and consistency he continues to produce.The page underneath is just as strong. She is out of Mizzy, a Group 1 winner and one of the toughest mares of her generation, with five wins headed by the Group 1 Canterbury Stakes, as well as the Golden Pendant, Sheraco Stakes and Toy Show Handicap. She was also right there in the best races, placing in events like the Coolmore Classic, Golden Eagle and Silver Eagle. There is another current angle here too, with Zoustar already shaping as a useful broodmare sire, headed by horses like Streisand and Holmes A Court.There is plenty of depth behind her as well. Mizzy is a sister to She’s Got Pizzazz, while the family also runs through sharp performers like Burn The Sky and Laced Up Heels. She is a beautiful mover with a great girth and shoulder. She is a filly with real potential on the track and plenty of value later on.

Ole Kirk/Ellerslie Lace '24

By Ole Kirk, one of the brightest young stallions in the country. Ole Kirk has made a sharp start at stud 6 stakes winners and 3 Group winners, and his early runners have already shown real quality through horses like Ole Dancer, Legacy Bound and King Kirk. There is also a nice stable link, with King Kirk winning the Group 3 Breeders’ Plate.He is out of the Siyouni mare Ellerslie Lace, a winner in France who was placed and competitive in good company, and she comes from a deep European family full of black type. Siyouni is also proving an important broodmare sire influence, with 21 stakes winners and 10 Group winners already, headed by horses like Zavateri, one of the best two-year-olds in 2025, winning the Group 1 National Stakes, July Stakes and Vintage Stakes.Ellerslie Lace is a sister to Baha Mar and a three-quarter sister to Nooramunga, while the deeper family runs through high-class horses like Group 2 winner Turtle Bowl.
