    • @Newmarket you could always contact the NZMTC organiser:  rachel.deegan@addington.co.nz I'm surprised they didn't use the BETCHA app for the competition it is perfect for syndicate betting.  Friends of mine used it Melbourne Cup Day and it worked a treat.  
    • Mags O'Toole bought point-to-pointer Dawn Of Light (Mahler) for a sale-topping £370,000 at the Tattersalls Cheltenham November Sale on Friday evening. Sold as lot 23, the four-year-old daughter of Genifique (Nickname) was consigned by Busher Bloodstock and is a half-sister to talented jumper Bravemansgame (Brave Mansonnien). She won a Quakerstown point-to-point at second asking earlier this month. The other lot to make £300,000 or more was Minella Yoga (Study Of Man) (lot 52) who caught the eye of Highflyer Bloodstock and Paul Nicholls at £360,000. Minella Racing consigned the three-year-old gelding, who won on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse. In total, seven lots made £200,000 or higher. The clearance rate was 96%, with 47 lots of the 49 offered finding new homes. The gross was £4,627,000 (+50%), the average £98,447 (+5%) and the median was £80,000 (+11%).

    • I'd say there would be a fair amount of punter error in @Newmarket's day.
    • By Jonny Turner  Mark Hurrell will go the extra mile to link up with a strong book of drives at Winton on Sunday. Hurrell was meant to be racing on his home track at Wyndham but a wild Southland storm put an end to that after carnage hit Young Quinn Raceway. It is a case of quality over quantity for Hurrell at the Wyndham Harness Racing Club meeting at Winton. The reinsman takes four drives and rates Ultimate Cullect the best winning hope among them. She is a $2.15 favourite in Race 9, the Marshall’s Excavating Mobile Pace (4.13pm). “It is such a big drop in ratings from what she has been racing, she looks like a great chance,” Hurrell said.  “Flashpoint is in there and he is a nice horse, but my mare is pretty forward and has been racing good fields right the way through. “She trialled great last week, she has had a bit of a freshen up and seems to be coming back really well.” Hurrell links up with two strong chances from the Craig Ferguson stable on Sunday in Franco Seb and Kusama.   Franco Seb has been building towards a maiden victory and it looks well within his sights this week. “He should be pretty hard to beat, probably the question is whether he can hold up from (barrier) one.” “We will be trying to get out and get rolling because he is tougher than he is fast.” “It is a pretty even field and some of the others have had a few goes at trying to win a maiden.” Kusama will head to Winton for her first start after winning at the Wyndham workouts last weekend. “She is a handy filly and should win a maiden fillies and mares race pretty quickly.” “The favourite (Anita Mary) has trialled really well, but she has drawn the second row.” “So it will be interesting to see where she ends up.” “Our filly should go a nice race and she would have to be a very good place chance and a decent win hope as well.” Rakaturbo might be the roughie among Hurrell’s drives but he still looks a handy hope. The pacer sat parked in a similar affair at Winton last week and battled on strongly to run 5th. “He looks like a big rolling type, if we can stay handy he might be able to go a handy race.” Rakaturbo is among a seven-strong team Clark Barron brings to Winton on Sunday. They include stable star Bring On The Muscle who reverts back to a standing start after racing keenly behind the mobile last start. View the full article
