After an impressive win at Hastings on Saturday, Coulthard (pictured) is now on track for the Group 3 Thompson Handicap at Trentham on Sunday 25 October!

With 3 wins and 7 second-place finishes from 18 starts, Coulthard has certainly been knocking on the door, and Saturday's performance was one to watch!

A big congratulations to his owners Craig McNeill, Andrew & John MacDonald, Don McLean, Gordon Smith, Gillian Martin and members of the Mokihinui Club Syndicate. We hope you're all looking forward to the big day as much as we are!

Coulthard joins Astoria Brooke and What You Wish For among the confirmed runners, with more to come.

It's shaping up to be a great day of racing at Trentham! 🏆

Still thinking about this one?

Knock Off produced a brilliant front-running performance to take out the Group 3 Hunterville Vet Club Metric Mile at Trentham.

With Leah Hemi in the saddle, the Wanganui galloper took control and simply kept going, holding off Dubai’s Potiki and Hi Yo Sass Bomb to claim a well-deserved stakes victory.

There’s something pretty special about winning a feature race down the Trentham straight.

Congratulations to Knock Off’s connections and everyone involved in a fantastic win.

A huge congratulations to Hannah Wilson, who has been crowned the 2026 Race Images Amateur Rider Series Champion!

We particularly love that Hannah’s journey includes a special Trentham milestone, riding her first winner aboard Four Square Pete at Trentham in July.

From celebrating that first win at Trentham to taking out the national series, what a fantastic achievement.

Congratulations Hannah, from everyone at Wellington Racing Club.
