Peter Snowden, the Randwick-based trainer, is set to showcase a small yet potent team at Kembla Grange. The team comprises four runners competing across three distinct races, each with its own potential for victory. Two talented unraced two-year-olds, Beadman and Akaysha, are slated to feature in The Race Against Suicide Raceday June 21st 2YO Maiden Plate (1000m). Beadman, a Snitzel colt, will be ridden by Zac Lloyd, while Tom Sherry will partner with Capitalist filly Akaysha in the same race.

Snowden expressed confidence in his young charges, noting Akaysha’s strong trial performances and Beadman’s promising showings in trials. Despite an awkward draw for Beadman, Snowden believes in the colt’s ability to navigate the challenge. Akaysha, on the other hand, benefits from a more favorable draw, providing an opportunity to showcase her potential on the track.
Joining the fray is Manwe, a recent addition to Snowden’s stable, to be ridden by Chad Schofield in the Jim’s Mowing Class 1 Handicap (1000m). The four-year-old gelding, formerly trained by Anthony Cummings, brings a mix of experience and promise to the race. Manwe’s previous outings in city-grade races and trials indicate a competitive edge and readiness for the upcoming event.

California Sunrise, another contender from Snowden’s stable, is geared up for the Jim’s Mowing F&M Benchmark 64 Handicap (1400m). Piloted by Tom Sherry from the inside barrier, California Sunrise boasts a track record of consistency and resilience. With a recent third-place finish at Warwick Farm and a string of solid performances, Snowden anticipates a strong showing from the mare, confident in her ability to make a mark in the upcoming race.
As the team prepares for the Kembla Grange raid, Snowden’s strategic placements and rider selections underscore a calculated approach to maximize the potential of each runner. The mix of promising two-year-olds and seasoned campaigners reflects Snowden’s adeptness at nurturing talent and guiding experienced horses to competitive success.

For enthusiasts and punters alike, the Kembla Grange event promises an exciting display of talent and skill, with Snowden’s team poised to make an impact on the day. With a blend of youth and experience, the team’s presence adds a layer of intrigue to the racing landscape, setting the stage for an engaging and competitive series of races at the upcoming event.
