    • The policing of riding is awful and that's why there is no improvement. Sit a few more on their butts for a decent amount of time, the reducing bank account will soon improve their outlook.  But the ability of stipes to read races is  poor and that may also mean some riders are penalized unfairly.  A can of worms. Not a new situation though.  A former apprentice of mine, a leading rider here, went to Sydney when his apprenticeship  ended and started riding work for Gai. Got a ride, drew wide and ended up in behind the leader.  He was very proud of his effort, until he got back and was told firmly ' you're not in the Sth Island of NZ now,  boy' .....he got six weeks for taking another's line.   Probably tightened a few as well.
    • Arkansas lumberman John Ed Anthony reached 300 career wins at Oaklawn Park when favored Brunia (Tekton) broke her maiden in the 10th and final race on Friday's 2025-2026 opening day card, a press release from the track said on Saturday. Brunia, an Arkansas homebred for Anthony's Shortleaf Stable, is trained by Lindsay Schultz. Anthony, 86, reached 299 career Oaklawn victories last March when 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Quietside (Malibu Moon) captured the GII Fantasy Stakes. The Fantasy was also Anthony's record 40th career Oaklawn stakes victory. The late John Franks, a four-time Eclipse Award winner as North America's outstanding owner, had 39 career Oaklawn stakes victories, the last coming in 2000. Anthony's first Oaklawn victory was Feb. 16, 1972 and he became the winningest owner in the track's history (270 victories) Feb. 26, 2022. Inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2001, Anthony amassed 172 Oaklawn victories racing as Loblolly Stable (dissolved in the mid-1990s). Brunia was Anthony's 128th Oaklawn winner as Shortleaf.
