There was mention of a sales complex being part of the new Waikato training facility so, the shock should be at a minimum. -

Knobelas (NZ) (Belardo) gets another crack at Roadcone (NZ) (Almanzor) this Saturday and Michael Kent Jnr is adamant the setting for the rematch is advantageous for his charge. The pair will clash in the $130,000 Henry Byron Moore BM84 Handicap at Flemington. The 1600-metre event will be run three weeks after their stoush over 1500m on the Caulfield Heath track, which Roadcone won narrowly after pinching a break turning for home, and Kent is confident Knobelas can gain revenge. “She’s obviously very progressive; six starts for three wins and three seconds and one more stride and she gobbles up Roadcone last time,” Kent, who trains Knobelas in partnership with Mick Price, said. “Naturally we’re looking forward to the big spacious track of Flemington versus Caulfield Heath, which probably undid her a bit last time. “She looks to be a really nice horse for the future and third-up on Saturday, we should be close to our peak fitness.” Knobelas’ Caulfield Heath effort followed a dominant first-up win over 1400m in benchmark 70 grade at Pakenham, which was her first start since finishing second in the Silver Bowl Final (1600m) at Flemington on July 5. The daughter of Belardo, who will be ridden by Beau Mertens, meets Roadcone 1.5kg better for the last-start defeat and will start from barrier two with Roadcone to spring from gate nine. Also engaged are in-form duo Sneaky Sunrise (The Autumn Sun) and Hiyaam Proud (Pride of Dubai), along with Knobelas’ former stablemate Angland (NZ) (Ace High). Kent is excited about seeing the four-year-old back out to 1600m and would like to think this preparation is a stepping stone to bigger things. “She’s a no-frills horse and gives you no feel at home – I’ve often said it, she’s probably one of the worst trackworkers at home – but you don’t judge how she’s going off a trackwork form,” Kent said. “I don’t think she’s ever won a trial, but she just goes to raceday and when you ask her to quicken, she just goes, vroom, and just launches. “She’s very progressive. We’ve got to be optimistic that we can get some Black Type with her at some point, because she does have such a good record and has got a lot of traits that make a Black Type mare. “She’s got tactical speed, she travels well, relaxes, and then she’s got a big turn of foot at the end.” View the full article -

With the release this week of nominations for the Gr.1 Trackside NZ Derby, the focus intensifies for stamina signs amongst the three-year-old crop ahead of the March 7 Ellerslie classic. Amongst the 90-odd entries for the Derby are the first three placegetters in the first black-type age-group race beyond 1600m, last week’s Gr.2 Sir Patrick Hogan Stakes (2000m), Ohope Wins (NZ) (Ocean Oark), Origin Of Love (Snitzel) and Born To Be Royal (King’s Legacy). All three fillies are also entered for the Gr. 1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai NZ Oaks (2400m), which for the first time this year will be run at Ellerslie in a month earlier time slot, two weeks before the Derby. Male three-year-olds get their first chance this weekend to be tested at black-type level beyond 1600m in Sunday’s Listed Trackside Gingernuts Salver (2100m) at Ellerslie, with all but one of the 13-strong field – the sole filly, Oaks-nominated Acer (NZ) (Savabeel) – also nominated for the Derby. That includes Day One (Wootton Bassett), a gelding by Wootton Bassett and one of 13 Derby nominations for trainers Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson. In his second raceday start, Day One was impressive when clearing maiden grade over 1600m at Ellerslie a month ago and he’s expected to be even more effective over Sunday’s longer race, which is dedicated to Te Akau’s 2017 NZ Derby winner Gingernuts. “He’s bred to get the distance and we’re certainly looking forward to seeing him step up in trip, but it’s probably a stronger field than we’ve seen in past runnings and he’s one of a number of strong prospects,” Bergerson said. “He’s a really nice progressive young horse, a big raw type who’s going the right way, so with a view to his chances of making it to the Derby, we’re keen to see how he performs on Sunday.” Day One, an Elsdon Park homebred under the JML Bloodstock banner, is out of Eleonora (NZ), a grand-daughter of Hall of Fame stayer Ethereal (NZ) and herself a middle-distance Group 3 winner on both sides of the Tasman as a three-year-old. The Walker/Bergerson contingent for Ellerslie numbers just four, beginning with Super Seth filly Zaharias (NZ) (Super Seth) in the juvenile race, resuming from a let-up after finishing second in two late spring starts at Riccarton and Trentham. “We don’t know how well that form from her first two starts stacks up,” Bergerson said, “but we’re very happy with her, she’s well drilled and has a handy draw.” Blueblood colt King’s English (Snitzel) takes on city class for the first time after clearing maiden grade with a smart performance at Te Aroha in late November. By Snitzel out of the Gr.1 All Aged Stakes and Doomben 10,000 winner English, King’s English has plenty to live up to, and Bergerson believes his weekend assignment will provide further evidence of his potential. “This looks a sharp enough field too, but he’s a decent sort of colt, he’s drawn to get the right trip, and what he does will give us a line on whether he can go to a race like the Almanzor Trophy back at Ellerslie later in the month.” Dream Of The Moon (All Too Hard) completes the stable contingent in Sunday’s Rating 75 1400m, in which she will carry topweight of 59 kilograms as the only stakes winner in the field. “She had no luck in her first-up run at Ellerslie on Boxing Day after drawing one and getting shuffled back near enough to last,” Bergerson said. “As it was she did well to finish late into fourth, so up to 1400m as well as the improvement she would have taken out of that race, we’re looking for a better result.” With first choice rider Opie Bosson under suspension until Monday, Day One will be ridden by Rory Hutchings, Zaharias by Joe Doyle and King’s English and Dream Of The Moon by Craig Grylls.

You only have to read as far as paragraph [8] to understand the core issue. [8] In 2004, the trusts were established to acquire land in Kingseat. BPL and KEL each acquired a neighbouring property and they entered into a joint venture. At present, BPL operates a horse breeding and training facility on both properties, which operates at a loss. Here comes the Real Estate Developers. Don't be surprised if that wonderful New Zealand Bloodstock facility at Karaka is sold for development sooner or later.
