    • A bill introduced in the Kentucky General Assembly Feb. 19 would divert 0.1% of all money wagered on live racing and historical horse race (HHR) betting to a to-be-created local government fund. The communities that would benefit from the fund would be the cities and towns that have racetracks and HHR betting facilities. According to HB 782, “local governments may use appropriations from this fund to address the social costs of problem gambling, including but not limited to: (a) Law enforcement retention; (b) Homelessness; (c) Affordable housing; and (d) The policing, regulation, and administration of the facilities live and HHR racing facilities are located.” Kentucky currently directs all proceeds from bets on horse races back into the industry or into the state's general fund. The sponsors of the bill are Reps. Al Gentry, George Brown Jr., Nima Kulkarni, Adam Moore and Rachel Roarx, all Democrats. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Committees.

    • It's getting exciting now a full field ...wow! The real excitement however lies with Wightman, will he show on course?  So many angles to this prestigious race!
    • Alpinista (GB), the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner and world champion racemare of 2022, has delivered her second foal, a colt by Lanwades' Study Of Man (Ire). The first foal of the daughter of Frankel (GB) is now a yearling filly by Dubawi (Ire) and Alpinista will travel next to France to visit Siyouni (Fr) at the Aga Khan Studs. Study Of Man, whose percentage of black-type winners was top among the second-season sires of 2024, will this year cover both Alpinista's dam Alwilda (GB) (Hernando {Fr}) and her half-sister Alpenblume (GB) (Kendargent {Fr}). They are expecting foals this season by Sea The Stars (Ire) and Frankel respectively.  “The colt foal is very representative of his sire; correct and well-balanced with great presence,” said breeder Kirsten Rausing. “I am of course delighted Alpinista has produced such a good individual, again, after her first foal last year.” Trained by Sir Mark Prescott to win six Group 1s among her 10 victories from 15 starts, Alpinista is a fourth-generation homebred for Lanwades. Last October, her full-sister was bought by Kia Joorabchian's Amo Racing for 2.5 million gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. Now named Alpinara (GB), she is in training at Prescott's Heath House Stables in Newmarket.  The post Lanwades Welcomes Study Of Man Colt for Alpinista appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
