the 40 minute gaps will be because they have the 4 nz meetings on a sunday. I started a thread about it a while ago when they started the 40 minute gaps. The gallops have been running 2 sunday meetings a lot over the last few months. if you were trying to discourage people from attending race meetings,the 40 minute gaps would be the way to go. I guess they don't want anyone being on course these days apart from those with horses engaged. Oamaru and addingtion at least appear to be going to have a fine day. The temperature predicted to get to as high as 10. you have to laugh,well i find it funny anyway. at least the harness people recognise more the need for their nz product be a priority for them. Turnovers for the gallops on the sundays don't seem much more than the trots,from my observations.S I guess the gallops people must value the money generated from the aussie product above promoting participation in their sunday and midweek meetings. -

Quentin Wallace, founder of international horse transport company IRT and a pioneer within the equine travel business, has died at the age of 77. Wallace built IRT into the global presence that it is now with offices in Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK and Germany. A tribute posted by IRT on Thursday read, “A pioneer and a visionary, and a true gentleman, Wallace was more than the creator of one of the world's most trusted names in equine transport. He was a man who built bridges across continents, always with horses at heart and excellence as his guide. “Quentin's story began in the UK, but it was his first trip to Australia in 1966 that would set the course for a lifetime of innovation and adventure. After a brief stint as a jackaroo in western Victoria, he returned home with a clear vision and a pioneering spirit. Recognising a growing demand for horses in Australia, he began shipping them by sea, forging the first links in what would become a truly global enterprise. “Like many great stories, Quentin's path wasn't without challenge. In 1972, equine disease halted sea transport, seemingly closing a door. However Quentin saw opportunity. With determination and foresight, he turned to the skies, becoming involved in the airborne transport of horses between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, in doing so, pioneering the Shuttle Stallion business. This was not just a new chapter – it was the beginning of a revolution in the industry.” It added, “To those who knew Quentin personally, he was a mentor and a friend. His passion for logistics, horses and the people who care for them was evident in every decision he made. “Wallace lived a life with purpose, pursed a vision with courage, and was a man whose work changed an industry forever. He leaves behind not just a global company, but a global equine community, one that will carry his vision forward with pride.” The post Death Of IRT Founder Quentin Wallace At 77 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Last month's G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches demotee Shes Perfect (Sioux Nation) heads a field of one dozen contenders for Sunday's G1 Prix de Diane Longines after Thursday morning's final declarations were announced for the €1-million Chantilly Classic. Basher Watts Racing's Charlie Fellowes trainee, who has drawn stall seven, will be reopposed by Princess Zahra Aga Khan's TDN Rising Star and Pouliches third Mandanaba (Ghaiyyath), who will emerge from stall 10. Mandanaba will be accompanied by Francis Graffard stablemates Cankoura (Persian King) and G2 Prix Saint-Alary victrix Gezora (Almanzor), who have been allocated stalls 11 and one. Aidan O'Brien is set to saddle a team of two, with Pouliches also-rans Bedtime Story (Frankel) and Merrily (No Nay Never) drawn apart in stalls 12 and three. Andre Fabre already has four editions in the books and will be represented by Juddmonte's Pouliches fifth Better Together (Oasis Dream), who will bid to become the veteran maestro's first winner since Golden Lilac in 2011 from stall nine. She will be partnered by Colin Keane. Christopher Head celebrated a maiden victory in the contest with Yeguada Centurion's Blue Rose Cen in 2023 and relies on Rosa Salvaje (Maximum Security) this time around. She has drawn stall five. The line-up is completed by D'Ores Et Deja (Zarak), American Gal (Kameko), Zia Agnese (Romanised) and Sand Gazelle (Frankel). Ballydoyle duo January (Kingman) and TDN Rising Star Ecstatic (Lord Kanaloa) were the only overnight entries not declared.

Just wondering why Addington Sunday racing doesnt start till nearly half past one and finishing after 6pm? In Winter wouldn’t those concerned prefer to start earlier and finish around 5pm? Must be a reason for it, but the first half of the card has 40 minutes between races? Very hard on those concerned and just shows just how dedicated you have to be nowadays to be involved with the horses in Winter!
