The last month of the 2023/24 thoroughbred season kicks off with a nine-race card in Hobart on Sunday.

John Blacker has blown the trainer’s premiership wide open with four winners in Hobart on Sunday to take a four-win lead over John Keys, with Glenn Stevenson a further win back. The trio had been neck-and-neck, but Blacker, who has the biggest team in work, has shot clear with five meetings remaining.

Rubble 'N' Fudd runs up to trial performance.
