Interesting comment, and until Entain came along and threw the industry a 5 year lifeline, I would have agreed with you. A 70 mil payout in 22/23 to thoroughbred would have dropped to about 50 mil in 23/24 instead if going up over 90 mil, such was the state of progress data. I don't agree with the way a lot of that money is being used and don't understand this fascination with top end stakes. But you have to look back to the 90's, to find out why this all started going downhill. Pre that time, Racing had it mainly to themselves as far as entertainment and expendable dollar. In came casinos, Lotto and sports, all offering other forms of entertainment and gambling. Racing didn't compete to retain market share, because it couldn't because it is not set up to and slowly but surely we saw a decline. -

Cambridge Stud stallion Sword Of State was represented by an impressive trial winner when State Of Valour (NZ) (Sword Of State) coasted to victory in his two-year-old heat over 730m at Te Rapa on Tuesday. Prepared by Chad Ormsby, the gelding was quickly into stride to sit on the pace and lengthened stride in the run home under a minimum of urging by Tayla Mitchell to score by three and a-half lengths. “I was very impressed by what he did with the little practice that he’s had,” his trainer said. “He came to us to be broken in and we identified him as quite an early type, we got him going and everything from that time on has been really natural. “I’ve been impressed by the stallion and have got a couple by him in the stable and this one is the more forward of the two.” State Of Valour failed to meet his $60,000 reserve when offered at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale and is a son of the French-bred Lope De Vega mare Illadore, whose family boasts an abundance of international stakes winners. “I’ll talk to the team but I think we can go to the races with him now. He’s a half-brother to Sister Ping who we had later in her career, and she was very fast over a shorter distance and I think he’s in a similar mould,” Ormsby said. Sword Of State won four times as a juvenile, with his career highlight a victory in the Gr.1 Sistema Stakes (1200m) to claim champion two-year-old honours. He trained on the following season to claim two Group Three prizes, including a defeat of ten-time top-flight winner Imperatriz in the Almanzor Trophy. Ormsby also had Group Three winners Master Fay (Deep Field) and Outovstock (NZ) (Tavistock) stretch their legs at Te Rapa on Tuesday for a fifth and second respectively. “We had Opie aboard Master Fay and he came back with a grin on his face and said how good he felt. It was just a nice quiet trial, he will take a lot of improvement from it,” Ormsby said. “We were thinking of going to the Matamata Cup with Outovstock, but we will wait for the tracks to improve a bit and we won’t rush him as we have all summer. “It was a good trial from him, we are really pleased and he found the line nicely. It looks as though he has come back in good order.” Meanwhile, recent Ellerslie winner Have a Crack (Zoustar) has returned to the stable after a short let-up after winning over 1200m earlier this month. “He kept himself a little bit busy, we were hoping to give him a couple more weeks of a break, but because he was so active in the paddock, he indicated that he wants to be back in work. We will probably see him back at the races in three or four weeks,” Ormsby said. “When he gets on the good ground that Ellerslie produces, he has an action that suits, he can really quicken with a blistering turn of foot.” View the full article -

Alabama Lass (Alabama Express) is in fine fettle ahead of her tilt at the Gr.1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) at The Valley on Friday, pleasing jockey Craig Williams with her work on the Melbourne track on Monday. “I was really happy with her,” Williams told Racing.com. “She enjoyed it. It is a privilege to come out here in preparation for Friday’s Group One tilt. “Megan (Winter), who has been entrusted with her care over here while Ken and Bev (Kelso, trainers) are back in New Zealand, is doing a really good job.” Williams is starting to form a good bond with the mare, having ridden her in her last two starts, including winning the Listed Moomba Plate (1100m) at Flemington in March, and second in the Gr.1 Moir Stakes (1000m) first-up at The Valley earlier this month. “I have been on her a few times now after her first-up run since being here, so I am starting to understand her a lot more,” Williams said. “When I first got on her in the mounting yard she was quite full on and when I first rode her in work she was quite full on, and Megan gave me a few pointers with her and now I am really starting to understand her. “I have got a really good relationship with her. She is getting on the track and doing things a lot nicer and straightforward for me, and I loved her work this morning.” Looking ahead to Saturday, Williams said Alabama Lass will be ideally suited to the 1200m. “The distance of 1200m on Friday is definitely in her wheelhouse,” he said. “When she resumed in the Moir it was her first time she had raced over 1000m and she acquit herself really well. Probably a bit too well, she was a bit fresh and tried to overdo it. “The 1200m she can really get into her rhythm and she will take a lot of running down the way she felt this morning.” View the full article
