Nelson have been trying to get their winter dates back, HRNZ want to keep the 2 Friday night meetings, the other option I think they was mooted was a Tuesday Thursday meeting in May, never heard anything more about it. -
Still doing the bizzo on the Gold Coast..never ages...talking up a storm..."we need a dictator like they have in China" Dags these businessmen... lets hope he's educated his children to love horses and the partying et el It doesn't bare thinking about having his family disperse his millions into super yachts like Government beneficiary recipient Grey Hart did...what a waste Such bad luck Lance O'Sullivan happened to sit next to Eric Watson on a plane convincing him to invest in thoroughbreds rather than Hart At least Gerry Only married twice...unlike his mate Singo who got hitched 7 times...then sold most of his bloodstock! wtaf?? Good thing about Gerry as well, he allowed his Kiwi workers a better work/life balance of 10 days on 4 days off...thanks to Russell Warwick's idea that the old adage you're "in it for the love of the horse..not to have time off like normal workers' 86 is the new 70? -

She was a bridesmaid on four occasions before she broke her maiden last out, and now Margarita Girl (Twirling Candy) has quickly left that behind her, collecting her first black-type of any kind in the GIII Las Flores Stakes at Santa Anita Park. Breaking well to watch the race unfold as Thermal (Nyquist) set the tempo, she enjoyed a rail trip behind that leader through an opening quarter in :21.74 and four furlongs in :44.11. No Bad Beats (Midnight Storm) took the race to the early leader coming off the bend, and struck the front as Margarita Girl began uncorking her rally via the overland route. That pair quickly pulled away from a closing Ooty (Arg) (Dabster) on the rail, and the eventual winner overhauled her challenger inside the final sixteenth to score. The final time was 1:09.19. Sales history: $130,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $575,000 2yo '24 OBSMAR. O-Rancho Temescal Thoroughbred Partners and Saints or Sinners; B-Paul Eggert & Karen Eggert (KY); T-Mark Glatt.

Making only this third career start in as many seasons to race, the impeccably-bred Rothko (Tapit–Covfefe, by Into Mischief) proved best as the heavy favorite to graduate in a one-mile maiden test at Fair Grounds on Sunday. The LNJ Foxwoods homebred was fourth in his career debut at Ellis Park in the summer of 2024 but wouldn't be seen again until the fall of his sophomore year, when he finished a solid second going 6 1/2 panels at Churchill Downs this past November. Sent off the hot 1-5 choice while trying a mile for the first time here, the 4-year-old settled just behind pacesetter Crazy Diamond (Omaha Beach), who carved out an opening quarter in :23.38. Overtaking the early leader heading into the far turn, Rothko shot clear turning for home and was not for catching as he crossed the wire 1 3/4 lengths ahead of Mingo (Candy Ride {Arg}) at the wire. The colt is out of dual champion Covfefe, who is also responsible for SW and GSP Ellen Jay (Constitution), $271,808. The dual Grade I winner and track record holder produced a filly by Gun Runner in 2024 followed by an Olympiad filly last season. Hailing from the family of GISWs Acoma and Arch, the 10-year-old mare was bred back to Not This Time. 6th-Fair Grounds, $54,000, Msw, 1-11, 4yo/up, 1m, 1:37.46, ft, 1 3/4 lengths. ROTHKO (c, 4, Tapit–Covfefe {Ch. Female Sprinter, Ch. 3-year-old Filly, MGISW, $1,110,025}, by Into Mischief) Lifetime Record: 3-1-1-0, $59,852.

So after George Rooke's cheating in the Wakatoo Cup...3 over the limit...then went back to Coventry for a holiday over Xmas We had Aussie Angela Jones fined EXACTLY the same % for being 1 over ..3500!!!! if you please...with the 'amazingly brilliant RIB' commenting "we find this appropriate"..she'd be fair dinky dye SPEWING im picking How can it be "appropropriate" when she made a minor counting error (being a freshy) by one when the obvious cheaters like George (3 over) get the same % fine Not only that but the exalted RIB commented that 'due to the 2nd jockey also being over the limit we find no further penalty for George" What about the 3rd horse who was only a neck away and probably winning if it wasn't for the cheating? FFS Anyway onwards to yet another cheating black type jockey in Matt Cartwright when winning by a neck on SANTA CATALINA Fined 3800!!!! when also 1 over! Actually 2 over...but long story short in NZTR/RIB's convoluted ideas re whip rules ok... if he'd struck 3 times in the last 100M not 4 he'd have paid ZILCH! How dumb and dumber are these 'integrity hogwarts' FFS?? here's the solution Adopt Frano Gallops whip rule...4 stikes only throughout the race...if a jockey cant count to 4...take the entire % riding fee out of their pockets...and the winning owners donate their winning difference to the rule abiding 2nd horse...it's just that simple or maybe just relegate to ENABLE the INTEGRITY of Black Type to remain?? even more simple
