Trebles for Hoysted and Guthman-Chester New

Date: 01-Aug-2025

The Matt Hoysted stable and jockey Jag Guthmann-Chester each had a day out at Ipswich on Thursday, going home with winning trebles.

The pair combined for success with Motorbike ($5.50) in The Shed Company QTIS 3YO Maiden (1100m), before landing the final event, the Gordon’s Gin Benchmark 65 Handicap (1100m) with the $2.80 favouite Araletta, who came from well back in the field to win impressively.

Hoysted’s other winner was Joppa Lane ($3.90) in The Ipswich Tribune Benchmark 70 Handicap (1200m), while Guthmann-Chester combined with the David Vandyke stable on Jungle Jet ($5) to net the middle peg of his treble.

Earlier, punters were off to a wonky start when Adin Thompson landed Social Pariah ($26) a winner for the Craig Cousins stable, before the Allan Chau trained Flying Bat ($9) took out the second event under apprentice Cobi Vitler.

Kelly Schweida came to Ipswich with some good chances on paper, but both Wannabe Brutal ($1.85) and Simply Fun ($2.70) had to settle for minor placings, before the less-fancied stablemate Metalcraft ($5.50) atoned for the stably by winning the second leg of the QTIS Two-Year-Old Maiden Plate.

Metalcraft was the first leg of a winning double for Cejay Graham, who also won on hot favourite Skorpios Isle ($1.80) for the Lindsay Gough yard.

Stewards were kept busy in the first half of the program, called on to determine the outcome of two protests of second against first.

In both instances, the objections were thrown out.

Queensland Rogues members were left to lament the hard luck story for Whispering Rogue, who clearly should have won, but stewards ruled it was simply a case of bad luck and not the fault of the winner Saxobushi.

The second objection was a closer call, with Motorbike surviving the protest from Michael Hellyer on $2.45 favourite Ciphertext, despite shifting out in the closing stages of the event.
