Have you lost badly on a future market or something Mikey? you sound so bitter with them. Thousands of Punters bet on the football as the Finals approach every year, every code , even though their team mightn't even make the Final. most don't . only 2 do. It's just a fun thing to do and if you lose a few bob , who cares ? It's a chance to back your team and hope they get there . Only 2 teams will make the Grand Final and Just one will be Premier. There's a 'LOT' of losers. Why is a Horse race future market so different ?? the chances are the ones you take will start in the race , and give you a run for your money. Akuta nearly did it for me 2 years ago. (He might redeem this year yet) But it's fun trying , AND It keeps You Talking About the race !! Just like you are now. Excellent stuff !!! Get on the 'Pub Party' and Party on after the race !!! 👍🏆💰🍻 -

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Friday's Observations features an exciting newcomer from the Karl Burke stable. 2.43 Doncaster, Mdn, 2yo, f, 7f 6yT HARPER VIOLET (IRE) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) is an exciting debutante for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum and the Karl Burke stable, being the fourth foal out of the Prix Jean Romanet heroine Ajman Princess (Teofilo), the daughter of the celebrated Reem Three whose two Stakes performers so far are the Commonwealth Cup hero Inisherin by Lope De Vega's sire Shamardal and Dubawi's Strensall winner King Of Cities. She meets another Lope De Vega-sired blueblooded newcomer in James Wigan's Lilt (GB), a William Haggas-trained daughter of the owner-breeder's star mare Dank (Dansili) who captured the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf and Beverley D. Stakes. 2.08 Doncaster, Mdn, 2yo, 8fT INFRAAD (IRE) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}) debuts for Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum and the William Haggas stable and is a half-sister to the Pretty Polly heroine Nezwaah by Ghaiyyath's sire Dubawi. He is joined by Cheveley Park Stud's fellow newcomer Affettuoso (GB) (New Bay {GB}), a Roger Varian-trained son of the dual Listed winner and multiple Group-placed Cabaletta (Mastercraftsman). 2.16 Newbury, Mdn, 2yo, 6 1/2fT SHIPBOURNE (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is the 12th foal out of Juddmonte's Cheveley Park heroine Special Duty (Hennessy) who was famously awarded two Classics in the stewards' room. Her best so far was this colt's full-brother Task Force, who raced for the same Ralph Beckett stable and was second in the Middle Park. 4.01 Newbury, Novice, 2yo, 8fT KING OF EARTH (GB) (Kingman {GB}) debuts for Abdulla Belhabb, whose finest hour as an owner came with this colt's half-brother King Of Change (Farhh) in the 2019 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. Also a half to Cape Cross's multiple Group-winning fellow sire Century Dream, he represents the William Haggas stable whose first-string appears to be Isa Salman Al Khalifa's similarly-unraced Oathbound (GB) (Kameko), a half-brother to the Glens Falls Stakes-placed Long Ago (Roaring Lion).

By Michael Guerin Young driver Seth Hill will get a golden opportunity to impress his new boss at Addington tonight. Not that Bob Butt isn’t already impressed. Butt trains The Lazarus Effect, one of the more promising pacers in Canterbury and a $2.50 favourite for the IRT Thanks Bettors Delight Pace at Addington even though he faces a second line draw in the big field. Hill will do the driving for the first time tonight. If The Lazarus Effect wins with the talented junior driver in the cart he only gets half the rating points so would stay on the front line for his next big aim, the NZBS Sales Series Pace at Kaikoura. “And I have no issues handing Seth the reins,” explains Butt. “He is a good young driver who has been working for me for about a month and a very good bloke so we are enjoying having him here.” The Lazarus Effect wore down race rival tonight It’s Tough the last time they clashed and is favoured to do so again tonight, with Butt also having stable newcomer Donmaro in the race. “Rodger [Austin, former trainer] sent him out here to try something new and I really like him,” says Butt. “I can see him going a good race and even if he can’t win this he is worth following.” Butt takes a strong team to the races tonight even if his most favoured ones face difficult draws. He rates Tactical Bid (R5, No.17) a future open class trotter although admits tonight’s race has its own challenges with a huge field and the three-year-old being on the unruly in the 2000m stand. He has one-eyed pacer One Eyed Bandit in the Janice Guerin Memorial as the three-year-old tries to stay remain unbeaten at his second start. “He has a heap of speed but also a lot to learn,” says Butt. “He can win but obviously it is a big field so he will need a bit of luck.” Yet another Butt-trained rep in Gold Bullion is favoured in the IRT Thanks Grego Trot, which is not actually what the race is called but everybody knows who that means. Gold Bullion starts off the 20m mark in another huge field and Butt admits he has been disappointed with the big boy who has at times looked open class material. “He was good two starts ago but not so good last start but I have freshened him up and I think he can improve. “But he will need to as it is a big field and he has to give Confessional a 10m start.” Tonight’s meeting starts with the $45,000 Macca Lodge Sires’ Stakes Classique Trot which has only drawn a field is four and will have unbeaten filly Duchess Maria as everybody’s early multi anchor.

By Michael Guerin Trainer Matty White thinks Mediator is edging closer to being the finished product. And that should be good enough to win at Alexandra Park tonight at a meeting where White has a strong hand. The South Auckland trainer has five of his 23-strong stable racing tonight, with smart horses in Mhai Surfer Girl (R1) and Lord Popinjay (R10) taking on good fields at either end of the programme. But it is Mediator (R7, No.4) who gives White his best chance in the TAB – Northern Metro Pacers Heat 3 Mobile Pace (7.54pm). He’s a $1.75 favourite. Mediator is almost a victim of his reputation getting too big too early, which can happen when you are a son of Captaintreacherous and former outstanding filly Willow and you win your first two races. Both those wins came in March and then Mediator finished a close up fifth in a Sires’ Stakes heat at Cambridge behind Bettors Anvil, Greased Lightnin and Got The Chocolates, pretty hot form for a pacer racing in R35-43 grade tonight. The only reason he is still there is immaturity as he is still developing physically and mentally but his stride and natural speed suggests there is plenty more to come. “He is getting there and I think we will start seeing something like this best soon,” says White. After two mixed runs to start this campaign Mediator was luckless at Alexandra Park when second to Blazing Louie, being in the trail when the leader stopped and being forced to come across heels before finishing well. “I thought it was a good run and this looks the right race for him,” says White. Mhai Surfer Girl is a smart mare but returning in a good horse’s race to open the night and White says while she will need the run in that grade he has lofty aims. “She has never gone a bad race and we will look at the Queen Of Hearts in December with her and then the Golden Gait.” White says Forgiveness (R2) is up against it in a sharp TAB Metro Trotters heat headlined by Higher Power while juvenile American Falcon (R3) is another at the improving stage. “He has gone two good races so far but can’t draw a barrier. “He has got barrier 6 again this week but he is getting stronger so is still a chance.” Lord Popinjay has been a “surprise package” since joining White’s team and was excellent winning last start but again faces a 20m handicap over 2200m. “He is going super but so much depends on the start. “If he can step well and get past two or three then he has a real chance but in a race like this if they string out and you are at the back it is totally different. So the start really matters.” White also drives Better Reaction for his father Les in a tricky TAB Metro pacing heat in which his best would be good enough to get some money but it is a heat that could slide by in 2:40 for the 2200m mobile and then luck and field position would be the difference between 1st and 5th. He also partners Tight Lines in the last of 11 races (there is a surprise) and says while he has never driven the three-year-old he says any Brian and Gareth Hughes runner deserves respect.
