The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) announced on Thursday the introduction of a new licence for racehorse syndicators and racing club managers, which aims to further strengthen the regulation of shared ownership. The licence will apply to anyone wishing to manage a syndicate or racing club that advertises publicly or that they are paid to administer. This includes licensed trainers who run their own syndicate or racing club. Its introduction follows a period of engagement with stakeholders, including an industry-wide consultation, to ensure that the regulation keeps pace with the increasing appeal of syndicate and racing club membership. Existing syndicators and club managers will be required to have a valid licence in place by January 1, 2026, while anyone applying to set up a new syndicate or racing club after January 1, 2025 will need to ensure they have already been granted a licence. The BHA has already contacted syndicators and club managers to help ensure the new licence is introduced as smoothly as possible, with step-by-step guidance to support the application process. Ongoing assistance will also be available via the BHA's ownership team. Harry Williams, BHA head of participant services, said, “The continued growth of shared ownership is a key part of racing's long-term sustainable future, with syndicates and racing clubs giving more people the chance to experience the thrill of racehorse ownership in an affordable and enjoyable way. “The vast majority of syndicates and racing clubs are operated to the very highest standards, but inevitably as the number of people involved in setting up, running and promoting them continues to rise, so do the associated regulatory challenges. “By introducing this new licence, the BHA can take a more proactive approach to managing emerging risks and maintain consistent standards across the board. This will not only provide greater clarity for syndicators and club managers about their role and responsibilities, but also help maintain trust in shared ownership by ensuring those involved feel confident that they are sufficiently protected and supported. “This is an important step forward as we look to retain racehorse owners here in Britain and attract the next generation.” More information about the licensing process is available on the shared ownership page of the BHA website.

Karl Burke says that he is confident Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Fallen Angel (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) will prove a tough nut to crack when she bids to follow up in the Coronation S. at Royal Ascot. Fallen Angel will face a stern test at Royal Ascot, with Roger Varian's 1,000 Guineas winner Elmalka (GB) (Kingman {GB}) and Aidan O'Brien's Opera Singer (Justify) both in opposition. Burke told Sky Sports Racing, “She's in great form, came back from Ireland in good order, she did a nice piece of work on Tuesday and we couldn't be happier with her. I thought it was a fantastic performance (at the Curragh), to be honest. She got into a great rhythm early and watching from the stands from halfway, I was pretty relaxed, I thought we had them all covered and I knew she'd keep galloping right to the line.” He added, “It will be an interesting race, there's some great fillies in there and obviously Aidan's filly [Opera Singer] that was behind us at the Curragh is going to step forward, but they need to step forward, we only have to maintain our form from the Curragh for us to be the one to beat and, if anything, I don't see why she can't improve again. “I don't think she's ground dependent whatsoever, if it's good ground or on the easy side of good or just on the quicker side of good, it will make no difference to Fallen Angel.” Whatever happens over the round mile at Ascot, Burke is already looking forward to stepping his filly up to a-mile-and-a-quarter later in the summer. He said, “I would be strongly saying that she'll stay further. We toyed with the idea of going for the Prix de Diane on Sunday, but we'll save the step up for later in the year-there's only one Royal Ascot. “The Nassau is one (possible race) at Goodwood, but I'd say she'll have a short break after Ascot. She'll have a short break after this, as she's had three quickish runs and been prepared all winter for a Guineas, so she'll have a short break and we'll bring her back in August, I'd imagine.” The post Karl Burke Says Fallen Angel ‘The One To Beat’ In Coronation Stakes appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Fourteen sophomore fillies will head to post for Sunday's €1,000,000 G1 Prix de Diane Longines after final declarations were made Thursday morning. David Menuisier representative and likely favourite Tamfana (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), who was last seen running fourth in Newmarket's G1 1000 Guineas, has been allocated stall four. His Highness The Aga Khan's G3 Prix de la Grotte winner Candala (Fr) (Frankel {GB}) is towards the outside in 12 while Godolphin's Andre Fabre trainee Rock'n Swing (GB) (Camelot {GB}) was drawn next door in 13. Godolphin is double-handed with G1 Oaks runner-up Dance Sequence (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) seeking compensation for the Charlie Appleby stable from stall seven. 'TDN Rising Star' and Listed Prix de la Seine winner Gala Real (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) has the inside berth and Alain and Gerard Wertheimer's reopposing Aventure (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), runner-up in the Prix de la Seine and another 'TDN Rising Star', has drawn stall 10. April's G3 Prix Cleopatre victrix Halfday (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), another Wertheimer contender, has been drawn alongside Dance Sequence and will exit the six hole.

Trailblazing Kiwi jockey Lisa Allpress’ riding will have an extra edge at Trentham on Saturday as she prepares to hone her fitness and form ahead of yet another international appearance. A four-time New Zealand champion jockey, Allpress has accepted an invitation to ride in Japan in August in a jurisdiction she knows well. Allpress’ interest in following a career path as a jockey came after attending the Japan Cup as an 18-year-old when she was working there as a trackwork rider. “I’ve had three riding contracts there and this is the second time I’ve been invited to the World Jockeys’ Series,” Allpress said. “I’m super excited about it. I really didn’t think I’d get the opportunity to ever ride in Japan again and I’m just humbled that I’ve been privileged enough to be asked. “I had a really big following when I rode there last and people I’ve spoken to have told me I still have a really strong fanbase there, which is really nice to hear. “I really love the place. Going to the Japan Cup was really what made me want to be a jockey. I was riding trackwork at a pre-training farm on a working holiday visa because that’s what my brother was doing. “I had six months there and the boss I rode for had a horse running on Japan Cup Day and he took my brother and I along to the races. Because he was an owner, we were treated like VIPs and basically that’s where it all started for me.” Allpress, who was contracted in Singapore and has also ridden in Australia, England, Malaysia, Macau and became the first woman to win a race in Saudi Arabia, will fulfil a speaking engagement in Japan during her time there. “I might also try and pop down to Tokyo and see some of the trainers I used to ride for down there too. My focus over the next couple of months will be to make sure I’m ultra fit to head back to Japan and to brush up on my Japanese,” she said. Allpress has seven rides at Trentham on Saturday, including key Parliamentary Handicap contender Pride Of Aspen. “She went a super race last start. I perhaps should have cut the corner and got going a little bit earlier but I still it was a really good run behind Prince Alby,” Allpress said. “I’m really looking forward to her. At the weights, she’ll be right there. She loves a wet track and she gets that and spacing her runs should have her spot on.” Allpress has ridden the Johno Benner and Hollie Wynyard-trained Pride Of Aspen on eight occasions for three wins, including a narrow win at Wanganui last month, and two placings. She has several strong chances at Trentham, including the Allan Sharrock-trained filly Arcachon in the TAB Odds Surge Every Race 3YO. “Arcachon was super impressive in her two starts last campaign. Her second (placing) first-up was a really good run because she just got a little bit lost but then she was far too good at her next start at Otaki,” Allpress said. “She’s had a decent break but come back and had a couple of jumpouts. Allan’s got a massive opinion of her and I’m really looking forward to her. When she won, she just romped in.” Allpress, who was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the racing industry in the 2021 New Year Honours, only needs 70 more wins to become just the ninth jockey to reach 2000 New Zealand winners and the first woman to achieve the milestone. “I’m just taking each win at a time. Hopefully I’m one or two wins closer after Saturday,” she said. View the full article -

The Melbourne spring carnival might come up a bit too quickly for White Marlin (Mastercraftsman) to take part, but it is expected stablemate Goldman (NZ) (Verdi) can on Saturday confirm his stable’s spring intentions when he tackles the Gr.2 Brisbane Cup (3200m) at Eagle Farm. Just 12 months ago, both White Marlin and Goldman were most prominent in early Melbourne Cup markets for the Waterhouse/Bott stable, but while a tendon injury has sent the popular grey horse to the sidelines for an extended period, Goldman gets his chance to find that form again on his 3200-metre debut at Eagle Farm. Co-trainer Adrian Bott said on Thursday that Goldman, who takes his place in the A$400,000 Brisbane Cup alongside stablemate and 2021 winner Knight’s Order (So You Think), was well-placed to tackle the two-mile journey for the first time after three runs back this campaign. “It looks a nice race for Goldman and a good chance to test him at that trip,” Bott said. “He’s been good in the lead-ups. I thought last start (third in Premier’s Cup over 2400m) was a good effort and probably showed he was looking for a bit of ground. “It will give us a good gauge, but he’s given us the indication that he will appreciate it (the 3200m).” View the full article
