Wales are going to ban greyhound racing too. I can only see one greyhound track there. An interesting snippet is that in a survey conducted in 2016 in NSW 80% wanted greyhound racing banned. GRNSW said they have no intention banning the sport that came to Australia in the early 1900's. -

Jockey Rachel King and Costa Nova (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}) partnered in Tokyo's G1 February Stakes on Sunday, and came away the three-quarter length winners over Sunrise Zipangu (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}). King is the first female jockey to win a race at the highest tier in Japan. The February Stakes is a “Win and You're In” for the GI Breeders' Cup Classic this autumn. Positioned in the first third of the strung-out field, the 3-1 shot followed in the wake of Mitono O (Jpn) (Logotype {Jpn}). That rival carried them to the quarter pole, with King steering her charge out into the centre of the track for his bid. Mikki Fight (Jpn) (Drefong) appeared in with a chance closer to the fence in the lane, but Costa Nova kept finding for the score. Sunrise Zipangu unleashed a strong turn of foot up the rail in the dying strides to snatch second, 1 1/4 lengths to the good of a stubborn Mikki Fight. “I'm very proud to be the first female jockey [to have won a G1 title] but also proud that Japan has welcomed me as a jockey and not just a “female” jockey–something that I've always strive to be–I'm one of everyone and we're treated the same, so I'm always thankful to the Japan and all the supporters for welcoming me like that,” said King. Only off the board twice in nine starts prior to Sunday's heroics, Costa Nova was only sixth over a sloppy track in the Listed Cluster Cup at Morioka in August. He opened his 5-year-old campaign with a tally in the G3 Negishi Stakes in Tokyo on Feb. 2. Pedigree Notes The 11th top-flight winner for his sire, who is based at Shadai Stallion Station, Costa Nova is also part of a 58-strong brigade of stakes winners (41 group/graded). Lord Kanaloa is best known for his outstanding daughter Almond Eye (Jpn), a two-time Horse of the Year in Japan and Japanese Filly Triple Crown heroine. Previously, his Red Le Zele (Jpn) had finished second in the 2023 February Stakes. A half-brother to the G3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes third Feiern Kranz (Jpn) by another son of King Kamehameha (Jpn) in the late Duramente (Jpn), Costa Nova counts stakes winner and GI Milady Breeders' Cup Handicap third Tropical Blossom (Thunder Gulch), herself a half-sister to GII Davona Dale Stakes winner and multiple Grade I-placed Diamond On The Run (Kris S.), as his second dam. Grade I winners Celestine (Scat Daddy), and Super May (Super Concorde) are also kin. Triple winner Colorful Blossom (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}) has a 2-year-old colt by Makfi (GB), and was covered by Drefong last spring.

The second winner on the Sha Tin card to have parlayed a win in the 2024 Longines Hong Kong International Races to Group 1 glory on Sunday, Voyage Bubble (Aus) (Deep Field {Aus}) secured the 2000-metre HK$13-million Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup, although not without some trouble in running. Reunited with James McDonald after he returned from taking second in the G1 Saudi Cup aboard Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) on Saturday, the 3-10 crowd's pick settled in midfield as Winning Dragon (Chi) (Ivan Denisovich {Ire}) established a pressured advantage. Chancheng Glory (Mor Spirit) took over on the backstretch and commanded a narrow lead at halfway. Just prior to the 800-metre pole, Voyage Bubble clipped heels and was shuffled back to last, bar one. McDonald let the gelding find his rhythm once more and Voyage Bubble just needed room inside the final quarter mile. He bulled his way through a split in the lane and took over at the 150-metre mark, before kicking away to win by 3 3/4 lengths. Ensued (Lemon Drop Kid) caught Chancheng Glory for second, with the eventual third-place finisher 1 1/4 lengths back. “It wasn't smooth sailing but he's a great racehorse. I'm lucky to have him as a partner because he got me out of a sticky situation,” said McDonald. “We might have found a new way of riding him as well. Who knows?” Voyage Bubble has a chance of landing a HK$10-million bonus for winning all three legs of the Triple Crown Series. He only needs the G1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m) on May 25 to become the second horse to do so after River Verdon (Ire) (Be My Native) in 1993/94. Revelling in his first Group 1 success at 2000m, trainer Ricky Yiu said, “I'm a bit optimistic to run him over 2400m. Before James takes off tonight, we're going to have a little celebration party and I'm going to have a good chat with him to see where we go next.” A winner of the G1 Stewards' Cup last January, the bay has experienced mixed fortunes since, but seemed to turn over a new leaf when back in the winner's circle in the G2 Jockey Club Mile six starts later in November. After taking the G1 Longines Hong Kong Mile a month later, he added his second Stewards' Cup on Jan. 19. Pedigree Notes By some margin the most decorated runner for his sire, Voyage Bubble is one of 38 stakes winners, 23 group, for Deep Field. The Hong Kong star is also one of four top-level scorers, with Deep Field's others striking in South Africa (Al Muthana {Aus}), Australia (Portland Sky {Aus}), and Hong Kong (Sky Field {Aus}). The Gold Cup winner is a half-brother to Group 3 winner Diddums (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}), and the stakes-placed Brettan (Aus) (Commands {Aus}). His granddam, Laoub (Red Ransom), is a half-sister to Canadian Horse of the Year and champion grass mare Never Retreat (Smart Strike), who won five graded races, among them the GI First Lady Stakes.

The world's highest rated sprinter, Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress {NZ}) added his third Group 1 on the bounce and 10th victory in a row in Sunday's 1400-metre HK$13-million Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup at Sha Tin. Missing in action was his regular jockey Zac Purton, who has been sidelined with a foot injury. Step forward Karis Teetan, and the show went on. Keeping a close eye on last year's winner California Spangle (Aus) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) from the bell, the 1-5 favourite never let his rival have a moment's ease. He cruised up to even terms at the 300-metre mark, and, covering his final three furlongs in :33.98, withstood the rallying Helios Express (Aus) (Toronado {Ire}) to win by 1 1/2 lengths. The latter got the bob over fellow closer Howdeepisyourlove (Aus) (Deep Field {Aus}). “It was an enjoyable last 100m but a frightening 200m,” trainer David Hayes said. “[Karis] said when he put him under pressure he responded and he felt he didn't have to give him much more. He's won 10 in a row at basically a month between runs so I'm a bit loath to change if he does well.” “It's unbelievable how this opportunity came up to be sitting on one of the world's best horses. I'm just really thankful that everything worked out well–I think I was just the pilot on him today,” said Teetan. “I want to thank the owner and David and finally Zac. I spoke to him during the week and he was really kind. He said 'Just know you're on the best horse and ride him like that and trust him', so thank you to Zac.” The victory marked a Group 1 double for the Hayes family on the weekend, following the G1 Futurity Stakes victory of Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars {Aus}) for Ben, Will and JD Hayes at Caulfield in Australia the day prior. Ka Ying Rising claimed the G1 Longines Hong Kong Sprint over Helios Express and Satono Reve (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}) in December, before defeating Helios Express and Howdeepisyourlove in the G1 Centenary Sprint Cup on Jan. 19. Pedigree Notes Shamexpress has sired 14 stakes winners, nine of them at group level. Alongside Ka Ying Rising, he is also responsible for dual New Zealand Group 1 winner Coventina Bay (NZ). The first foal for his dam, who racked up five wins during her career, Ka Ying Rising has the year-younger half-sibling Ka Ying Glory (NZ) (Turn Me Loose {NZ}), who is registered in Hong Kong. The gelding is from the extended family of G1 Caulfield Cup hero Gurner's Lane (NZ) (Sir Tristram {Ire}) and G1 Marlboro Cup winner Trichelle (NZ) (Sir Tristram {Ire}).

Again to cite Messara, "these prizemoney increases can apply following the full implementation of the reforms". What do they do? Use the money, not to implement the reforms which he thought would generate the revenue to double stakes, but spend that money immediately on stakes, even taking some of the money in advance to do so more hastily.
