Recent stakes winner Spin da Wheels placed 3rd in the W.A Breeders' Classic (Listed) at Bunbury in Australia on March 9. His record is now 14-5-4-2.

This finish photo shows that he was just a nose away from the win: http://rwwa.com.au/cris/raceresults.asp ... photo=true

I haven't found a replay, but the photos show that he was pretty far back early. I suspect he came running at the end and just missed. This race was 100 meters shorter than the stakes he won a few weeks ago. Stewards comments also mention that he had a wide trip.

Silk and Diamonds won race # 6 at Yarra Glen in Australia. Her record is now 10-2-3-3. Trailed the field most of the way. Had to go very wide on the final turn. Impressive burst of speed at the end to get up at the wire. Took her seven attempts to break her maiden but since then she's had 2 seconds and now this second win.

Ghaamer won race #6 at Al Ain Racecourse in Dubai.

Haven't found a replay, but did find a mention of the race in an article on the Emirates Racing Authority website:

The only Thoroughbred race on the card, a 1600m handicap, provided the perfect opportunity for the Ali Rashid Al Raihe-trained Ghaamer to register consecutive victories, making all under Dane O’Neill.

A 1400m Meydan Racecourse all-weather winner on his previous outing, he stayed on well to win this having fought off the challenge of Famous Warrior. O’Neill said: “We were drawn one so the plan was to get to the rail and be positive. He likes to be ridden prominently and has shown a good attitude when challenged.

“He is clearly versatile with regards to trip and underfoot conditions. Hopefully, he is still improving.”

Another graded stakes winner for Hard Spun! 27 stakes winners in all now.

Text'n Hurley won the Sunline Stakes (G2) at Moonee Valley in Australia by about 2 lengths. Came from last to first widest of all around the turn. She was much the best! She had finished 2nd in the Schweppervescence Trophy (G3) at Flemington in her last start. The step up in class didn't seem to bother her at all. Blinkers off for the first time didn't hurt, either. Her record is now 12-5-3-2.

Here is a replay of her second place finish in the Schweppervescence Trophy on Feb. 8. She was unlucky and trapped behind runners and finally got out late. She put in a strong closing run, but it was too late to catch the winner. Select Australia(A), Feb. 7, race #4: http://www.australianracing.com/pages/replay/9.php
