    • BTW last season there were 650+ races in the South Island.
    • Rich Mendez will not be able to attend Royal Ascot this week but is acutely aware of the significance of having a runner who rates as a fascinating outsider in the June 20 Commonwealth Cup (G1) with his multiple stakes winner Shisospicy. View the full article
    • But perception doesn't match reality.  Sure the South Island programming doesn't provide an ideal pattern for certain types of horses but that doesn't mean that for the horse population there aren't ample opportunities. The 5 trainers in the head post of this topic have had 1500 starts so.far this season.  If there is a problem why aren't 4 of them knocking on the door or the 1 that has virtually dominated the South Island Programme Committee for a very long time.
    • I'm struggling with your logic or more so the point you think you are making.  Are you suggesting that we need more trainers with high numbers of starters and low success rates?  Or are you saying we need more owners wiling to subsidise South Island racing from a charitable perspective? Put it another way would you rather own a horse tha won a race every 15 starts or one that won every 5? Yes strike rates are important in my opinion for two reasons - one they are a measure of the ability of a trainer to choose the right horse and place it correctly.  It is also a measure of the trainers willingness to sack a horse if it isn't good enough. No I'm not saying it doesn't count even though that $300k was earnt by just two horses.  However overall it took more than a few more starts to do it - it took at least twice as many on average.
    • 1st-BAQ, $85K, Msw, 2yo, 5 1/2f, 1:10p.m. Mathiesen Racing's ELLA GRACE (Nyquist) gets her start for trainer George Weaver, who calls on the services of the red-hot Flavien Prat. Bred by Killora Stud, the Kentucky bred is out of MSP Golden Artemis (Malibu Moon), herself a first-out winner who tasted limited success on the racetrack. Her greatest achievement to date is producing My Conquestadory (Artie Schiller), who also won at first asking in the one-mile GII Summer Stakes in 2013 before adding a victory over a synthetic surface in the GI Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland. Following the success of My Conquestadory, Golden Artemis brought $1 million while in foal to Artie Schiller at Fasig-Tipton November in 2013 before re-selling for $110,000 to Killora Stud in 2020. She RNA'd for $1.15 million at KEENOV in 2015. A $70,000 KESEP yearling purchase, My Conquestadory brought $240,000 at OBS March before ultimately hitting paydirt in the sales ring when realizing $1.5 million at Keeneland November in 2016.
