My comment about the birdshit and dust at Wingatui was based on the fact that in pictures of one of the grandstand there is never anyone in it, not unique to Wingatui but if the crowd they are talking about does turn up then it will need to be up to standard, not that I'm not suggesting it ain't now but the birds must love it. As for Ellerslie how many could they handle, plenty of space. Interestingly they go on about the Warriers getting better crowds than the Blues but they fill a small stadium where as the Blues half fill a bigger one. -

By Brian Sheerin and Emma Berry As the entries for the Betfred Derby were announced on Tuesday, Aidan O'Brien has admitted that it would be no surprise to see another of his colts take a major step forward this spring to rival current favourite The Lion In Winter (Ire), a son of the 2009 Derby winner Sea The Stars (Ire). “Being realistic, The Lion In Winter won his maiden very nicely and then went and won a Group 3 at York [Acomb Stakes]. They were two very good runs but obviously he was meant to go to the Dewhurst but didn't make it,” he said. “He's had a good long winter off and is back cantering again. Is he the number one? Who knows? “Everything hinges around his form at York and you can interpret that run whichever way you want. It was only a Group 3 but the Justify horse of Charlie Appleby's [Ruling Court] is well regarded and he finished third. The Lion In Winter is by Sea The Stars so going the Derby trip has always been on his agenda and we are very happy with him. Having said that, some horses develop and progress at this time of year and we'll know a lot more when the trials have been run.” Asked to nominate some horses who were perhaps open to above-average progression at three, O'Brien responded, “Well, there are a lot of horses there. Delacroix (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), who was second in the Futurity at Doncaster, is one of them. Then there are a lot of horses who ran well or won maidens who we like a lot. Acapulco Bay (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) is one of those horses who could progress. He had a lovely run first time up and then he won his maiden at the Curragh. But when he won his maiden, he never even rose a gallop—he was in front the whole way and was like a horse who was never on the track before. That maiden that he won was absolutely no reflection of what he could be capable of at all.” The man who has won the Derby a record 10 times, including in the last two seasons with Auguste Rodin (Ire) and City Of Troy, continued, “That's what makes the Derby and the Classics so intriguing and we can't wait for when the trials start to see what's going to happen and what way horses have progressed and how much they've learned. Some horses mature differently physically and mentally and, to be honest, that's what makes us all dream around this time of year.” He added, “The Derby is always very open and anyone who thinks differently is only kidding themselves. Some horses go back in the springtime, others go forward and the rest will stand still. The Derby is the ultimate test of the thoroughbred—no matter what anybody else thinks—over the distance and the track. If you think you have an outstanding horse, you can never be sure until they come through the Derby test on the day, because it is the ultimate test of the Thoroughbred.” Ninety colts have been entered for the Epsom Classic on June 7, 31 of which are trained in Ireland, with another two from America and one from France. Graham Motion, the British-born trainer based in Maryland, USA, is at this stage represented by Amerman Racing's Test Score, a son of the GI Preakness Stakes winner Lookin At Lucky “It would be a tall order but we got to thinking about it last year after Trikari won the American Turf at Churchill, which was a 'win and you're in' for the Derby, which I think is a good concept but I think it would be asking a lot of him,” Motion said. “I'm big on international travel but I would want to be sure it's the right thing.” Along with automatic entry for the winner of the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom on April 22, a runner from the GII American Turf Stakes, which is run on the Kentucky Derby undercard on May 4, will receive an entry and a travel incentive to run in the Derby.

Jim Benes, Cheryl McIntyre, and Rich Nilsen have been voted by their peers for induction into the NTRA National Horseplayers Championship Hall of Fame, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) announced Tuesday. These decorated handicappers represent the 11th class of NHC Hall of Fame inductees and will be recognized during the NHC Champions Dinner held Sunday, March 16 following the conclusion of the 26th NTRA National Horseplayers Championship (NHC) at the Horseshoe Las Vegas. “This is a huge honor,” said Benes. “The Hall of Fame didn't exist when I started betting horses so it was never a thought. Now that it does and I'm in it, it is unbelievable. The NHC has to be on any horseplayer's bucket list, as what is better than a room filled with all horseplayers competing?” “I was the first woman horseplayer to win the Tour and I was very proud of that achievement,” said McIntyre. “It was a lot of really hard work and dedication and traveling because it required me to play at many different venues and tournaments to get to the top and stay there. But it was also very satisfying and rewarding. I enjoy every minute of playing in the NHC in Las Vegas and hopefully can continue to do so for another few years. It's hard work sometimes, but I enjoy every minute of the journey.” “Being voted into the NHC Hall of Fame by my peers is a great honor,” added Nilsen. “I'm blessed to have made a lot of friends on the tournament circuit over the past two decades, so getting in through their votes is very humbling.” The post Benes, McIntyre, Nilsen Lead NTRA National Horseplayers Championship Hall Of Fame Class appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

A bill that would authorize fixed odds betting on Thoroughbred and greyhound racing was filed Monday in the West Virginia Senate. If enacted, 5% of each licensee's adjusted gross wagering receipts from fixed odds wagering would go to a fund to supplement purses for Thoroughbreds and greyhounds. The money bet via Thoroughbred fixed odds would go to Thoroughbred purses; the greyhound revenue would be earmarked for greyhound purses. According to the text of Senate Bill 576, “Any content authorized for fixed odds wagering on horse races from West Virginia, or fixed odds wagering on dog races from West Virginia, to be offered for wagering by a licensed operator, licensed gaming facility, or management services provider, shall require the consent of the host racetrack and recognized horsemen's group for horse races.” The legislation was filed by Republican Senator Jason Barrett. The bill has been assigned to the Finance Committee, which Barrett chairs.
