@Freda could put one on the collar of her Greyhound and monitor its whereabouts or movements! Thinking about that Trainers in the bigger training centres could use the technology for training purposes although some of the top ones already are. -

@The Centaur as my old man used to say to the consistent moaner - "you'd moan if your arse was on fire!" Regarding your lead post the extra marginal cost of providing the data on screen in real time and storing it for later is neglible. I just hope some Trainers take their Jockeys aside and show them how badly they read pace in a race and point out where and when they could have improved two lengths to at least give their horse a chance of winning. Just like in Rugby the data collected has the potential to improve the quality of our racing. Here's hoping NZTR facilitate the education of Trainers and Jockeys on how to interpret the data. -

Calandagan, winner of the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Champion Stakes, has been named Cartier Horse of the Year. He becomes the fourth horse bred by the Aga Khan Studs to be given that honour following Daylami (1999), Dalakhani (2003) and Zarkava (2008). By Gleneagles, who was himself the Cartier Two-Year-Old Colt of 2014, Calandagan is the first Cartier winner for the operation since the passing of His Highness Aga Khan IV in February. Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard, the four-year-old has won three consecutive Group 1 contests this season, including the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, and is set to run in the Japan Cup a week on Sunday. Calandagan, who also received the Cartier Older Horse award, won the Cartier Horse of the Year award ahead of Prince Of Wales's Stakes and Juddmonte International winner Ombudsman and multiple Group 1-winning three-year-olds Delacroix and Minnie Hauk. New Coolmore stallion Delacroix was named Cartier Three-Year-Old Colt, having defeated Ombudsman in the Coral-Eclipse Stakes and captured the Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes. The Coolmore partnership and trainer Aidan O'Brien were also represented by Minnie Hauk, who is the Cartier Three-Year-Old Filly for 2025 following victories in the Oaks, Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks. In his category, Delacroix was given the nod over Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Daryz, Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes winner Field Of Gold and dual Derby winner Lambourn. Minnie Hauk's runners-up were the Prix de Diane and Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf heroine Gezora, Whirl and Desert Flower. In addition to taking the two three-year-old prizes, the Coolmore team and Aidan O'Brien also landed a clean sweep of the juvenile awards, as did the Coolmore stallion Starspangledbanner, the sire of Gstaad and Precise. The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Gstaad took the Cartier Two-Year-Old Colt title ahead of Gewan, Zavateri and Puerto Rico, while Moyglare Stud Stakes and Fillies' Mile winner Precise received the Cartier Two-Year-Old Filly award ahead of stable-mares True Love and Diamond Necklace, and Prix Morny winner Venetian Sun. During the ceremony at London's Dorchester Hotel Asfoora became the third Australian-bred horse to receive the Cartier Sprinter award following Black Caviar (2012) and Starspangledbanner (2010) thanks to her wins in the Nunthorpe Stakes and Prix de l'Abbaye. Trained by Henry Dwyer for her breeder Akram El-Fahkri's Noor Elaine Farm, she claimed the award over Lazzat, Arizona Blaze and Big Mojo. Godolphin's homebred Trawlerman dominated the staying scene in 2025 and the son of Golden Horn, who is trained by John and Thady Gosden, was duly awarded Cartier Stayer of 2025 over Scandinavia, Al Riffa and Sweet William. Brough Scott, the respected journalist and acclaimed author, was the recipient of the Cartier/The Daily Telegraph Award of Merit for 2025. The 82-year-old former jockey has been a well-known face on terrestrial TV for three decades as well as co-founding the Racing Post. Laurent Feniou, managing director of Cartier UK, said, “My congratulations go to all of the winners at this year's Cartier Racing Awards. It is very pleasing to see Calandagan take the Cartier Horse of the Year award after his outstanding season. We are honoured to present the Cartier/The Daily Telegraph Award of Merit to Brough Scott, someone who has tirelessly contributed across the industry for more than 60 years. Everyone at Cartier is delighted to be able to celebrate another brilliant year of racing and I would like to thank our media partners Racing Post, The Daily Telegraph and Sky Sports Racing for their continued support of the Cartier Racing Awards.” The post Calandagan Named Cartier Horse of the Year appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Get with the programme! You can buy GPS tracking tags for less than $10 now. With a local wireless set up which every course now requires for broadcasting the extra cost is stuff all. Super Rugby franchises have been doing it for close to 20 years!!!! Data storage is now cheaper than chips. It is good to see that they will be creating an online database with historical data as well. As for the system being "State of the Art" well it will be even if other jurisidictions had similar technology 10 years ago. You should congratulate ENTAIN for bringing NZ racing forward. -

In this series, we will have a look predominantly at American-bred first-time juvenile starters (through the end of 2025) and debuting 3-year-olds in maiden races at Meydan Racecourse, with a specific focus on pedigree and/or performance in a sales ring. The flagship venue for racing in the United Arab Emirates is Meydan Racecourse, which will host racing on Fridays through the end of March, with the exception of Super Saturday on Feb. 28 and Dubai World Cup night Mar. 28, 2026. Here are the horses of note for this Friday's program at Meydan: 3rd-MEY, AED165k, Mdn, NH2yo/SH3yo, 1600m, 9:40 a.m. A pair of Godolphin-owned and Charlie Appleby-trained American-bred juveniles sourced at this year's Arqana May Breeze-Up Sale try the dirt for the first time here, with bigger and bolder targets to aim for if proving equal to the task. NATIONAL HISTORY (Maxfield) was knocked down to Oak Tree Farm for $70,000 at Keeneland September last fall, but was one of four to fetch seven figures at the French sale, hammering for an even €1 million. The Maryland-bred is out of the stakes-winning American Victory (Victory Gallop), herself a daughter of MGSW Who Did It And Run (Polish Numbers), also the dam of MSW & MGSP Giant Run (Giant's Causeway) and GSP Who's Cozy (Cozzene). National History improved for a debut fifth going seven furlongs at Kempton Aug. 6 to just miss when tried over a mile three weeks later. Richie Mullen rides. Devon Island (Practical Joke), a $62,000 Fasig-Tipton October yearling, was purchased by Godolphin for €650,000 at Arqana. The Apr. 25 foal is a full-brother to the Japanese MSP Dugat and finished runner-up to Juddmonte's promsing Item (GB) (Frankel {GB}) on seven-furlong unveiling at Kempton Sept. 3. The latter made it two-from-two in a Bath novice on the turf Sept. 30. James Doyle has the call. 2nd-MEY, AED165k, Mdn, NH2yo/SH3yo, f, 1400m, 9:05 a.m. TJAREED (Yaupon) changed hands for $90,000 at the 2024 Fasig-Tipton July Sale and breezed an eighth of a mile in :10 1/5 at this year's Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale before being knocked down to bloodstock agent Kim Valerio for $350,000. The grey filly, a half-sister to UAE SW & MGSP Cosmo Charlie (Stay Thirsty) and MSP Aliana (Majestic Warrior), made a favorable impression against the boys in a Nov. 12 trial (video). “She comes out of a good trial,” trainer Julio Olascoaga said. “She has shown good ability in the mornings, so she will be competitive.” Yuno (Rock This World) made $33,000 at KEESEP last fall and hammered to Harmash Racing for $230,000 after covering an eighth of a mile in :9 4/5 at OBS April.
