Totally unexposed entering Wednesday's Listed Paradise Stakes, Marcstown's Sardinian Warrior (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) made his first start on turf a successful one in Ascot's Queen Anne Stakes Trial. Stalking the strong early pace under Kieran Shoemark, the John and Thady Gosden-trained son of the G1 Phoenix Stakes and G1 Matron Stakes winner La Collina (Ire) (Strategic Prince {GB}) moved to the front inside the final two furlongs and held off Docklands (GB) (Massaat {Ire}) to score by half a length. “He's a really talented horse and this was his first day on the grass,” his jockey said. “He has lots of ability and I feel he'll come on plenty. I think he's a solid miler–he was getting a bit tired there when Docklands came to me.” The post Saxon Warrior’s Sardinian Warrior Takes The Paradise For Marc Chan And The Gosdens appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Charlie Appleby has got off to a flyer with his two-year-olds and Wednesday's Royal Ascot Two-Year-Old Trial EBF Conditions Stakes saw one who could be for the future as well as now. A half-brother to the G1 Commonwealth Cup and G2 Norfolk Stakes winner Perfect Power (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}) who cost 1million gns at Tattersalls October Book 1, Godolphin's Wise Approach (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) had a lot to live up to on this debut but as the 16-5 joint-favourite was expected to put up a bold show. Tracking the leaders throughout the early stages with William Buick able to draft easily, he was delivered to master the previous winner Super Soldier (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) close home and score by half a length. “That was perfect–he's a lovely horse with a good attitude who you would expect to improve from today and that rode like a good two-year-old race,” Buick said.

We had better horses in the 90's because there was was more breeding stock and diversity. That was the one positive of the hangover from the 80's sharemarket crash, from a thoroughbred breeding point of view. Rough Habit and Sunline came from marginal breeding lines however such was the depth of numbers a mare with 'a chance' could be bred and potentially justified from an accounting perspective. The thoroughbred studs in NZ are continuing today to do a wonderful job yet even they cannot work miracles when the foal crop continues to tumble. Racing horses was always an expensive pastime but the cost today to buy/race has become extremely prohibitive. That is why syndicates have become popular including probably a short term fad called micro shares. The real issue now is the diminishing foal numbers. That makes a horse with a 'chance' unrealistically expensive, so why bother? AND RIGHT THERE we have participation drop-off. That is what ultimately, will prove to be our once marvelous industries, Achilles heel. Fact; 1983 to 1989 5,000 to 6,000 foals each year. The next 20 years, between 4,800 and 3,800, mostly in the 4,000 plus. From 2010 the number of foals per thousand start with a 3 and in 2022 dropped just below 3,000 to 2,974 foals born. Before you apportion blame however understand this true fact and that is since 2010 the global foal crop decrease is about 20% globally. GFC and Covid have played a significant part. Meanwhile the most greedy corporate players have painted themselves into a corner. Most average people who are interested in horse racing are of above average intelligence and can, whilst maybe not as quickly as the savvy business types, see where the 'Game' be it betting, racing or breeding is stacked,(more than ever) against them. They, including me reluctantly, are starting to vote with their feet.
