    • I didn't say it was "all good" but we've all experienced one way or another the AML laws in NZ.  But do you seriously think that ENTAIN would try and rort the system in NZ?  Sky Casino got nailed last year.  I would say unlike other acquisitions ENTAINS NZ customer database and their transactions would be quite clean. ENTAIN would be very very stupid to jeopardise their monopoly license in NZ. The AUSTRAC case if you ignore the BS journalists is at a low end of the scale compared to what AUSTRAC have taken on previously in OZ.
    • James McDonald and Wodeton storm home in the Chandon Handicap in race 1 at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday, January 18. Photo: Bradley Photos Golden Slipper runner-up Wodeton will spearhead a blockbuster day at Randwick for champion jockey Ryan Moore, as the colt prepares to step out in Saturday’s Group 1 Inglis Sires’ (1400m). Trained by Chris Waller, Wodeton will wear winkers once again and is expected to be ridden conservatively from barrier nine. Waller was full of praise for the way the Wootton Bassett colt has bounced out of his Slipper performance, describing him as “thriving” ahead of his first test over 1400 metres. “You don’t have to overtrain them after their grand final,” Waller said. “He’s a colt, he’s a young horse. He has come through the Slipper really well and the 1400 will be no problem.” Wodeton heads Saturday’s market as horse racing bookmakers’ favourite at $2.80. It will be Moore’s first time aboard Wodeton, but the pair headline a strong book of five rides for the visiting UK hoop, who also partners exciting colt Switzerland for Coolmore in the T.J. Smith Stakes (1200m) and Desert Hero for William Haggas in the Chairman’s Quality (2600m). The international flavour continues Moore’s long-standing success on Australian shores, with Saturday shaping as a pivotal afternoon for the star jockey across multiple feature races.

    • Plymouth ridden by Mark Zahra heading to the barriers before the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas. Photo: bradleyphotos.com.au Trainer Glen Thompson is optimistic Plymouth can deliver a career-best performance in Saturday’s Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) at Randwick, provided he gets the right run in transit. The son of The Autumn Sun was a strong fourth in the Rosehill Guineas last start, finishing just 1.5 lengths off Broadsiding despite being held up for a run early in the straight. “I thought he ran very well,” Thompson said. “He was a bit unlucky. Mark was of the same opinion that if he’d got out at the top of the straight and got a bit more momentum, he would have made it pretty interesting. “But it is what it is, he got stuck on the fence and ran very well.” Thompson believes the step up to 2400m on Saturday will only enhance Plymouth’s chances. “I think he’ll be better again up to 2400 metres,” he said. “I was up watching him work on Tuesday, and he worked great.” Mark Zahra will once again take the reins aboard Plymouth and will jump from barrier three—a gate the stable is happy with, though Thompson knows luck will still play its part. “We wanted to draw well so he gets some sort of an easy run,” he said. “We drew well last time and he didn’t have much luck, so we need things to go our way. “But with any sort of luck in running, up to 2400 metres, I think he’ll run very well. I think he’s right in the mix.” Plymouth is rated a +1100 chance with horse racing bookmakers in the Group 1 Australian Derby. Horse racing news View the full article

(Photo by Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) Yulong has announced the appointment of Jun Zhang as its new general manager, following the recent resignation of Vin Cox. In a statement shared to social media, Zhang acknowledged the legacy left by his predecessor and outlined his vision for the future of the operation. “Having seen the positive impact Vin had in his time at Yulong, I am confident we can continue to build on this as we head towards the 2025 breeding season,” Zhang said. “I feel it is important as a company that we keep moving forward, and this week has given us an opportunity to learn and grow. “The positions and duties of our current management staff will remain the same as they continue to drive the company towards further success.” Zhang also expressed gratitude for the ongoing support Yulong has received during a standout year for the operation. “Thank you to all those who have and continue to support us in what has been a phenomenal year for Yulong,” he said. “I am excited to take the reins and lead the team as we seek to develop Mr Zhang’s vision and look forward to meeting you all very soon both at the sales and on the track.” Horse racing news View the full article
    • Curious I was trying to be diplomatic, as i am aware that for many years in certain circles there has been an argument as to who owns the TAB, the government  or the racing clubs, i think even Rodger Douglas was looking to sell it  but backed off as he could not get clarity over the ownership position, thus in fairness to racing i have always believed that the clubs who started the Tote in the early 1900s still own the IP which is based within the Jetbet system, As to the ownership of the rest of the Entain run TAB i think it is fair to say that Racing can have no claim on that.....hope that answers your question.
