i think what that press release is saying is entains original agreement with the government meant they expected to be receiving money from turnover generated on nz greyhounds. so ,when the governments ban on nz greyhound racing comes into effect,it means part of entains income will have been impacted,so they have said,hey you can have a bigger share of the revenues generated from the australian greyhounds, through the nz tab.(maybe entain may have sued them about that bit?) but other parts of that press seem misleading a little,becuase the governmant already had an agreement with entain to do the geo blocking in return for an extra payment from entain of $100m to be split up amongst sports and racing and the government. That was already there before the greyhounds decision to close down. Is edward reneell and the greyhound people doing themselves any favours by attacking the government with statements that can be construed as a bit misleading.Interesting tactic. -

I think you will find horses are lining up on the synthetic without even a canter once around on it. I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise. There seem to be a number of bleeders, not sure if that's commonplace on the other two synthetics. -
you have a lot of fairth in the rich and famous gammalite. More than i would ever have. success in one field doesn't always translate into success in other fields,especially when not playing with their own money. E.g. Look who ran the auckland trotting club when they did the developments. Give me an accountant with common sense and an abilty to recognise what is both good and bad advice, when they get it. john green... gammalite,Look i'm sure hes a clever man who intended well,but he was one of the many who pushed the original development,that is the cause of all aucklands problems.He was appointed to help oversee the development right from the start.. gammalite... heres a quote from an atc press release in 2018 about 2 new board directors "the appointments follow the recent retirement of john green from the board,,who was specifically appointed in 2014 for his skills in property development and was a member of the auckland trotting clubs project control group. the property control group is currently overseeing the current construction of the clubs significant urban village development on green lane west due to open later this year". so ,well intentioned like everyone involved in pushing the apartments,but boy oh boy did he and the others involved get it wrong.. wasn't the likes of barry purdon and derek balle also atc diirectors at the start of the developments. actually i've posted this before. It was about a year in from when the apartments thing started,about 2015. I had a conversation with someone from auckland who went around the country advising councils about big developments like the atc's.. I asked himabout the auckland trotting club developmemts expecting him to just say the same as what you read in the papers and from the atc press releases. To my surprise he said the opposite,listing all the pitfalls and how other such developments had failed due to numerous factors, often outside the control of those involved. He expressed surprise about the atc getting involved to the extent they did,given what he said were very obvious risks. I distinctly remember saying to him,from what you just said,you don't think the ATC have made good decisions,to which he smiled and replied...."well, we will just have to wait and see how it all turns turns out. I often think about that conversation when i think of the atc.

After a phenomenal few months for Waikato Stud’s stallion roster, the world-renowned nursery will offer six select progeny of those high-flying sires at this week’s NZB National Weanling Sale at Karaka. Quality offerings from Waikato Stud at the National Weanling Sale are nothing new. Their previous graduates include this year’s catalogue cover horse Jedibeel (NZ) (Savabeel), who was a $35,000 purchase in 2020. He has gone on to earn A$917,650 from a 22-start, eight-win career to date, including a victory in the Group Two Challenge Stakes (1000m) at Randwick in March. The 2025 Waikato Stud draft is made up of the progeny of three big names from their stallion roster – Savabeel, Super Seth and Ardrossan. Savabeel, who was inducted into the New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame last month, leads the New Zealand premiership by more than $2.5 million and is guaranteed his 10th champion sire title this season. He has also won the Centaine Award (combined progeny earnings worldwide) and Dewar Award (combined Australian and New Zealand progeny earnings) nine times each. He is the sire of 1006 winners from 1372 runners, with 151 individual stakes winners including 35 at Group One level. Ardrossan has only three crops of racing age and has sired 33 winners from 75 runners to date, six of them at stakes level including this season’s Group winners Yaldi (NZ), Beau Dazzler (NZ) and Ardalio (NZ). Super Seth But the stallion everyone has been talking about in recent times is Super Seth, who is having one of the greatest second seasons ever seen in New Zealand. Since the beginning of March, he has sired Group One Australian Guineas (1600m) winner Feroce (NZ), Group One Randwick Guineas (1600m) winner Linebacker (NZ), Group One Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) winner La Dorada (NZ) and Group One Queensland Derby (2400m) winner Maison Louis (NZ). His service fee has soared to $75,000 for the upcoming season. The NZB National Weanling Sale catalogue already featured the progeny of all three stallions, but the addition of Waikato Stud’s six supplementary entries has given the catalogue a substantial late boost. Lot 137 is a Savabeel colt out of Coolist, who is a daughter of Capitalist and the Group Two performer Sassy ‘N’ Smart (Smart Missile). Lot 137 Lot 138 is an Ardrossan colt out of the four-race winner Genius (NZ) (Savabeel), who is the dam of four winners from four foals to race. This colt’s half-brother Andalus (NZ) (Almanzor) was runner-up in the Group One New Zealand Derby (2400m) in 2023. The Super Seth colt catalogued as Lot 139 is out of the Savabeel mare Queen Leonora (NZ). Herself a three-race winner, Queen Leonora is a blood sister to stakes winner Synchronize (NZ) (Savabeel) and closely related to Group One winners Legs (NZ) (Pins), Guyno (NZ) (O’Reilly), Tiptronic (NZ) (O’Reilly) and Sixty Seconds (NZ) (Centaine). Lot 142 Lot 140 is an Ardrossan filly out of a three-quarter-sister to the Group Two Kewney Stakes (1400m) winner Do Ra Mi (NZ) (Savabeel). Lot 141 is a colt by Savabeel out of a half-sister to the Hong Kong Derby (2000m) and Group One Champions & Chater Cup (2400m) runner-up Victory Magic (NZ) (Savabeel). The last member of the Waikato Stud draft, Lot 142, is a colt by Super Seth out of Wintour (NZ). The unraced Savabeel mare is a blood-sister to Australian Group Two winner and Group One placegetter Forgot You (NZ) (Savabeel), while the third dam is multiple Group One winner Glamour Puss (NZ) (Tale Of The Cat). “We’ve sold some quality weanlings through this sale over the years, with Jedibeel obviously a recent highlight, and we’re keen to support the sale again this year with a selection of what was a really good crop of foals this season,” Waikato Stud principal Mark Chittick said. “They are some particularly strong and forward weanlings that we think can be offered for sale, giving buyers some good opportunities while also helping to manage our numbers leading into the yearling sales next season. Mark Chittick “We think a bit of them, so they’ll have reserves and they won’t be sold if they don’t make what we think is fair. “Our stallions are all going extremely well, none more so than Super Seth over the last few months – he’s been absolutely incredible. This sale is a great opportunity for people to get into the progeny of some proven and extremely hot sires.” All weanlings offered are eligible to be nominated for NZB’s lucrative Karaka Millions Series. Graduates can compete for a share in the $1m TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m), followed by the $1.5m TAB Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) as well as the new $1m Mega Maiden Series comprising of 40 non-Saturday maiden races located throughout New Zealand. Buyers wishing to attend are able to book their stays at the DoubleTree by Hilton Karaka hotel onsite here or by emailing travel@nzb.co.nz for assistance. View the catalogue here. The catalogue can also be viewed on the Equineline app for iPads/tablets, or the Thoroughworks mobile app. For more information, contact Bloodstock Sales Manager Kane Jones on +64 27 274 4985 or email kane.jones@nzb.co.nz, Sales Representative Patrick Cunningham on +64 21 512 466 or Patrick.Cunningham@nzb.co.nz or Andrew Buick at +64 27 555 0640 or email Andrew.Buick@nzb.co.nz.
