      All Eyes on Well Written in $4m NZB Kiwi

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      The barrier draw is complete for the $4m NZB Kiwi taking place Saturday at Ellerslie.  Romanoff (NZ) (Belardo) was offered by Haunui Farm in Book 2 of Karaka 2024, where he was bought by Ballymore Stables/Paul Moroney Bloodstock/Catheryne Bruggeman for $75,000. He has had nine starts for two wins, two placings and $485,575 in prize-money, headed by Group One glory in the New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) in November. He is eligible for the $1m Bonus Pool. To Bravery Born  (NZ) (Snitzel) was bought by Te Akau Racing’s David Ellis for $200,000 from Curraghmore’s Book 1 draft at Karaka 2024. He has earned $169,575 to date from a 10-race career that has produced four wins and a placing, including a third in last season’s Group Three Matamata Slipper (1200m) and a fourth in the $1m Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m). Well Written (Written Tycoon) is a graduate of Brighthill Farm’s NZB National Online Yearling Sale draft. She was bought by Stephen Marsh Racing and Dylan Johnson Bloodstock for a sale-topping $80,000. The unbeaten filly has already earned more than 17 times that amount in her phenomenal five-race career, headed by runaway performances in the Group One New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) and the $1.5m Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m). She is eligible for the $1m Bonus Pool. Affirmative Action (Yes Yes Yes), like Romanoff, was bought by Ballymore Stables/Paul Moroney Bloodstock/Catheryne Bruggeman from Book 2 of Karaka 2024. He was a member of Wentwood Grange’s draft and was bought for $115,000. His six starts have produced two wins, three placings and $283,275 in stakes. He won the Listed Sir Colin Meads Trophy (1200m) in the spring and finished second in a photo finish to the Group One New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m). La Dorada  (NZ) (Super Seth) was bought by David Ellis – purchaser of last year’s inaugural NZB Kiwi winner Damask Rose (NZ) (Savabeel) – for $190,000 from Waikato Stud’s Karaka 2024 Book 1 draft. She has won five times in a 10-race career and has banked $1.39m, including victories in the $1m Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m), Group One Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m), Group Two Matamata Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) and Group Two Levin Classic (1400m). She also finished third in the $1.5m Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) in January. She is eligible for the $1m Bonus Pool. Asakura (Churchill) is the only Australian-trained runner in this year’s race. He was bought by Mitch Freedman Racing for $140,000 from Hallmark Stud’s Book 1 draft at Karaka 2024. He has had four starts for two wins and two seconds, including a last-start second in the Group Three CS Hayes Stakes (1400m) at Flemington, and has earned A$77,440 (NZ$88,686). He Who Dares (NZ) (Snitzel) is the third David Ellis-purchased runner in this field, bought for $825,000 from Haunui Farm’s draft in Book 1 of Karaka 2024. He Who Dares has had eight starts for a win, four placings and $374,160 in stakes. He has been runner-up in the $1.5m Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m), the Group Two Auckland Guineas (1400m), the Group Three Matamata Slipper (1200m) and the Listed Sir Colin Meads Trophy (1200m). Panther (NZ) (Ace High) was offered by Rich Hill Stud in Book 1 of Karaka 2024, where Wexford Stables bought him for $280,000. He has had four starts to date, recording a win and three seconds including a last-start second in the Group Three Uncle Remus Stakes (1400m). He has earned $54,760 so far. War Princess (NZ) (U S Navy Flag) was purchased by Exempt Bloodstock and Peter Didham Racing for $77,500 from Haunui Farm’s draft in Book 2 of Karaka 2024. War Princess has had 10 starts for five wins, a placing and $202,860 in stakes. She won the Group Three Eulogy Stakes (1600m) in December and was a last-start fourth in the $1.5m Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m). Lollapalooza (NZ) (El Roca) completes the quartet of NZB Kiwi runners sold by Haunui Farm at Karaka. She was bought from Book 2 by Richardson Racing Stables and Social Racing. She has turned that into $325,575 in prize-money, including a valuable victory in the Group Three Gold Trail Stakes (1200m) and second placings in the Group One New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m), Group Two Eight Carat Classic (1600m) and Group Three Sunline Vase (1400m). The winner of the NZB Kiwi will earn $1.2m, with $600,000 for second and $450,000 for third – boosted by another $600,000 for first, $250,000 for second and $150,000 for third with the Bonus Pool. The fourth placegetter will receive $350,000, with $275,000 for fifth and $125,000 for every other runner in the field. The NZB Kiwi will be run as Race 9 on a star-studded Champions Day card at Ellerslie on Saturday, with a scheduled start time of 5.48pm. View the full article

      i think how each  racing code have spent the entain money will decide whether its a dead cat bounce. as to the spreads the clubs put on back in the say. i remember my parents racing a horse or two back in the early 1970's. they would always get a couple of tickets each and then take a friend with them to a room where free afternoon tea was provided for owners.From memory they were allocated 2 or 3 cakes as well as a cup of tea. They still owned one that was in training or racing during the late 80's and 90's,i'm pretty sure the owners got no free afternoon tea by then,but i do recall my parents often commenting on how the local clubs would put on free drinks and food for friends of club members,who only went for the free food and booze and never showed any interest in anything racing. I remember one particular fella who was never a club member and had no interest at all in racing, but would always roll out drunk near the end of the local raceday. funny thing is,my wife and i  raced harness horses for many years and the the only club to ever provide an afternoon tea type thing was forbury. Never once did we get an invite from any club,apart from the forbury club for food..if we won our local club would always invite us in for a drink and addington and forbury as well,but no one else did and we have won a race or two  at most of the south island tracks.

      Is there merit in members sending this letter to the CJC regarding Constitution change?

      By Special Agent · Posted

      A few things stick out to me. Depending on what clubs or committee members are selling off or developing their land surrounding the racecourse dictates the asthetics and value of the dwellings.  Ellerslie and Awapuni are vastly different to Riccarton, the latter being used for affordable housing. The Trustees managing the capital providing regular revenue, I assume through investment.  Have any clubs built their own houses or commercial buildings as rentals, also a form of ongoing revenue?  I question whether committees make the right decisions for the future of their clubs. As far as club constitutions are concerned, these come up for review on a regular basis usually discussed in detail at an SGM.  I don't know why this important process is brushed off as insignificant by many.  It's a bit late after the event trying to change what's been voted on.

      The Trough$ were at their fullest in the mid 80's!  Racing then reflected the actual stakes to betting ratios!  The spreads that were available to some on any race day were rather impressive! The Press Room would be  restocked for Every Meeting! Then  the big share market crash in Oct '87.  It played out very much so in the Racing Industry.   Since then their has been a continue decline..  will Entain prove to be a Dead Cat Bounce?  or are they laying new foundation  transformative progressive change into the future?    We be watching that be played out in real time!
