Gamma, I didnt say that NZ harness racing is mediocre at all! What I was saying is that there are mediocre decisions being made that is going to affect harness racings future! The TAB was given a lifeline with the $900m cash input from Entain and in my mind, they are blowing the opportunity. Gamma, at the end of the guaranteed five years of the money from Entain, how do you think that the harness industry has been improved? Are you confident that stake money will hold up and where do you see harness racing going financially? -

Tony O'Callaghan, David Redvers and Joe Foley have led the tributes to Collegelands Stud's Ciara Eglington, who died following a short illness on Tuesday. She was 59. Along with her husband Austin Lyons, Eglington churned out a hatful of smart horses from her County Meath base, headed by American Grade I winner Watsdachances. The Group 1-placed Aloha Star was another smart performer that flew that flag for Eglington's operation. O'Callaghan said, “A very good consignor, she was also a very good person and was extremely popular around the sales. We would have been big fans of her and it's very sad news. Ciara was very well regarded and we did a lot of business with her down through the years. She always had her horses turned out well and they looked great. We have known her for a long time and she got a big plus from us. I saw her two months ago and she looked great so it's very sad.” Redvers echoed O'Callaghan's sentiments and revealed how he always looked forward to seeing Eglington's Collegelands Stud draft at Barn A during the foal sales at Goffs. A deep appreciation for the job that she did in turning out her foals led to Redvers supporting her with mares, from which the pair's relationship flourished. “It's absolutely shocking news,” Redvers said. “I actually bought a foal from her in November – have bought quite a few from her down through the years – and she always produced them exceptionally well. She was such a good breeder and presented her stock so well, we actually sent her some mares as a result. She was just a very unassuming person who went about her business quietly but did it supremely well. I feel that she will be very much missed, not least by everyone who frequented Goffs, because she was always one of the first people that you would see in Barn A there. She was a proper horsewoman.” Meanwhile, Foley simply described Eglington as one of his favourite people on the sales circuit and offered up a genuinely emotional tribute to the late breeder and consignor. He said, “She was one of my favourite people in the whole game. A lovely person. Ciara had a great interest in sport, culture and was a great skier – she went skiing every year. Just a lovely person who did her job very well. One of the nicest people you would meet on the bloodstock circuit.” Funeral details are as follows: reposing at William Ryan & Sons Funeral Home, Church St., Kilcock (W23 XC90 – entrance at Books & Gifts) on Friday from 4pm to 7pm. A celebration of Ciara's life will take place on Saturday at 12:30pm in the Temple at Newlands Cross Crematorium followed by cremation.

Multiple group winner Lastotchka (Myboycharlie) topped the Tattersalls Online January Sale at 60,000gns when selling to Capucines Bloodstock. Sold as lot 59 from Ronald Rauscher's consignment, the seven-year-old mare is a winner of the G3 Prix Gladiateur and G3 Prix Belle de Nuit. Jean-Daniel Manceau of Capucines Bloodstock said, “She has been purchased by Capucines Bloodstock in a new partnership including a few regular breeders from Haras des Capucines. We really liked this mare's profile and we had the chance to inspect her before bidding. She is a nice, well-made filly with a really good walk. She was consistent on the turf and a multiple Group winner so it was a great opportunity. We think she was really good value at this price and we were delighted to buy her.” Leading the broodmares on offer was 50,000gns purchase Hotaugustnight (Camelot) (lot 83) in foal to Pinatubo. Sold to Kong Bloodstock, the six-year-old mare is a sister to the stakes-placed Deira Mile (Camelot), fourth in the G1 Epsom Derby. The Glanvilles Stud-consigned daughter of the multiple stakes-placed Fastnet Mist (Fastnet Rock) is also related to Derby runner-up Ambiente Friendly (Gleneagles). Equaling the price of Hotaugustnight was lot 42, Charlus (Churchill), who was sold to D P O'Dwyer Bloodstock. Part of the Closutton Stables draft, the stakes-placed five-year-old gelding has three wins on the Flat and a hurdle win to his name so far. “Charlus was purchased for an existing group of owners and hopefully he can contest at Cheltenham or Aintree this year,” said O'Dwyer. “They could put him away and try him over fences next year but there will also be options for him on the Flat. He is going to give this syndicate a lot of fun and a few days out. He was sourced from a good yard and goes to another good yard in Dan Skelton's.” A breeding right in Space Blues (lot 102) brought 32,000gns from Hurworth Bloodstock. The stallion is already a Group 1 sire after the victory of Power Blue in the Phoenix Stakes. Of the 96 lots offered, 53 sold (55%) for a gross of 438,200gns. The average was 8,268gns and the median was 2,600gns.
