Savvy Hallie and Apocalyptic are set to renew their rivalry when they meet for the first time as mares in the upcoming Toy Show Quality at Randwick.

The pair crossed paths three times as three-year-olds, with Apocalyptic initially getting the better of Savvy Hallie in the Furious Stakes (1200m) last spring. However, Savvy Hallie turned the tables in their two autumn encounters, securing second place for her rival in the Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) and winning the Surround Stakes (1400m).

Trainer Brad Widdup is not concerned with the notion of a rivalry, emphasizing that both are talented mares and his charge is ready for her fresh performance.

“I don’t know, but I suppose they’re in that grade where they’ve got to run against each other. Fingers crossed we can beat her,” Widdup remarked.

“My horse is great. I couldn’t be happier with her. She’s had a good build-up. She came in nice and early and she’s had a good preparation leading into Saturday.”

Savvy Hallie has been exceptionally consistent, recording three victories and five placings from eleven starts, including a Group 1 second to Tempted, the Everest runner-up, in the Surround Stakes.

Her only outing where she finished outside the top five was in the Coolmore Classic (1500m) in March, a race where Widdup felt she had reached the end of her campaign and her preferred distance.

Having won first-up previously, Widdup has no reservations about her carrying the top weight of 59kg or her wide draw in barrier six of seven.

“I think you’ve got to excuse her run in the Coolmore Classic and other than that, her form is pretty top notch,” he commented.

“I’m not too worried (about the barrier). I’m pretty happy with her. She’ll get her chance.”

Following the Toy Show Quality, Savvy Hallie is expected to contest the Sheraco Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill for her second-up run. If she performs well, a trip to Melbourne for the Manikato Stakes (1200m) is a consideration.

“She could go to the Sheraco, and then to Melbourne for the Manikato (Stakes),” Widdup said.

“I’m very happy with her so we’ll see what happens.”

Savvy Hallie and Apocalyptic are at the forefront of the early betting for the Toy Show Quality (1100m), with Savvy Hallie priced at $3.80 and Apocalyptic the $2.30 favourite.

The $2 million Manikato Stakes takes place at Caulfield on September 27.

Viral Police Arrest Video Shows Latest WNBA D**do Thrower in Luka Doncic Jersey After He Receives Lifetime NBA-WNBA Ban

Published

on

WNBA games have often been disrupted by fans throwing s*x toys on the hardwood, with the perpetrators usually never getting caught. However, an offender was finally caught on Friday, as a clip of him being arrested in a Luka Doncic jersey quickly went viral online.

Brick Center shared the video of the suspect’s arrest on X (formerly Twitter) and reported that he was banned from NBA and WNBA games.

“The latest WNBA d*ldo thrower has been arrested and banned from all NBA/WNBA games,” Brick Center captioned the post.

In the clip, three police officers appeared to be handcuffing the reported suspect, who was donning a white Luka Doncic Lakers jersey. The perpetrator was arrested for disrupting the matchup between the Atlanta Dream and the LA Sparks after throwing a green d*ldo on the court at the Crypto.com Arena.

While the suspect was caught on Friday, this didn’t stop the incident from recurring a day later, with three d*ldos being flung onto the court during the game between the Golden State Valkyries and the Chicago Sky.

Although the practice continues to plague the WNBA, Friday’s arrest represents a step in the right direction, as the man in the Doncic jersey is allegedly the first person to be apprehended for throwing a sex toy onto the court.

Chicago Sky guard slams “men” for throwing d*ldos onto the court during WNBA games

After the game between the Golden State Valkyries and the Chicago Sky was disrupted with three d*ldos being thrown onto the court on Friday, veteran guard Natasha Cloud didn’t hold back while addressing the incident.

Cloud slammed the act during the post-game interview, claiming that it was usually “men” behind such heinous acts before describing it as the “gayest thing.”

“In most of these occasions, it’s men. And I want you to know that the gayest thing that you can do is go to a s*x shop, buy a d*ldo, come to a women’s game to throw the d*ldo on the court,” Cloud said.

“That is the gayest s*** that I’ve ever heard. So I’m a firm believer in anyone that has so much problem with a certain marginalized group, just come out and say that you’re a part of our marginalized group because that hate is unwarranted. It’s not factual.”

While Cloud criticized the trend of throwing objects onto the court, her decision to single out male fans earned her backlash.
