    • I was always led to believe Riccarton had owned from the running rail back (south) so, the sale of the carparks by President of the time John Austin went into their coffers.  But the rest was in a Trust which various oldies I knew in my youth sat on, so the middle of the track, back straight, where the RDA and pony club was, the 2 mile walking and trotting chute, all the stables, tie up stalls, swimming pool etc. Sarge, I am so with you on only being able to sell land once.  For me it would be an absolute last resort. You are correct.  Not many clubs own their own land.  The number is a small one that NZTR can go after, thus the aggressive nature of their pursuit of the little guys.

    • Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC's Copper Wind (Gun Runner—Copper Quest, by Lemon Drop Kid) was overlooked at 9-1 for her career debut at Fair Grounds on Thursday and rewarded her backers when coming from just off the pace to win. Stalking even-money choice Quick Kiss (Beau Liam) for much of the early running, the Winchell homebred made her move while three wide a furlong from home and proved best on the day while holding the favorite at bay by 1 ¾ lengths at the wire. Ageis (Essential Quality) was 5 1/2 lengths back in third. The winner's dam Copper Quest, herself a half-sister to GSW Copper Bullet (More Than Ready), is also responsible for a yearling colt by Epicenter. She was bred back to Tapit for 2026.   7th-Fair Grounds, $54,000, Msw, 11-20, 2yo, f, 6f, 1:11.49, ft, 1 3/4 lengths.

    • Appearing to relish the muddy going at Churchill Downs on Thursday, Theodore George (Curlin—Sweet Tapper, by Tapit) came from off the pace to graduate with a confident 2 ¼-length victory over Cant Stop Munnings (Munnings). Theodore George was seventh in his career debut going 8 1/2 furlongs on the turf here on Nov. 1, was given an 8-1 chance while getting blinkers on for this off-the-turf return. Pinched back at the start, the chestnut settled in a stalking fifth going around the first turn as Bessamay (Oscar Performance) led through an opening quarter mile in :24.66. Still pulling Danny Sheehy along following a modest half in :50.45, the Winchester Place homebred set off after the front runners approaching the quarter pole. Swung out well wide turning for home, he ground his way to the front in the final sixteenth and drew clear to score by 2 1/4 lengths over Cant Stop Munnings. A daughter of Grade I winner Sweet Talker (Stormin Fever), Sweet Tapper also has an unraced juvenile colt by American Pharoah and a yearling filly by War of Will. She was bred back to Gun Runner.   7th-Churchill Downs, $116,963, Msw, 11-20, 3yo/up, 1 1/8m (off turf), 1:52.10, my, 2 1/4 lengths. THEODORE GEORGE (c, 3, Curlin–Sweet Tapper {SW & GSP, $183,231}, by Tapit) Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $70,465. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
