I am not sure exactly what the terms and conditions of Entains agreement with the NZ TAB is? It shouldve been ironed out prior to signing, giving racing its best options! The 900m promised should not be blown on stake money and bonuses indide the 5 years. it should be rationed out over a longer period, money held over for future years and proportioned . When the 5 years is up the owners and trainers are going to feel it dramatically as the stakes will not be propped up by Entain as they are currently. Auckland dire situation should’ve been sorted, training centres set up and punting being encouraged rather than stifled. Hopefully the committee will be helpful. Media propaganda saying how well things are going is not helpful! more transparency needs to be applied. -
$30000 3yo race at Addington, 5 noms, just had a same stake race last week at Ashburton. All other races around 15 to 18, the continued obsession with 2 and 3yo racing is mystifying. -

Central Districts apprentice jockey Liam Kauri has found some deserved good fortune this season and he hopes to continue that winning momentum at New Plymouth’s apprentice-only raceday on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has had a riding career limited by a number of injuries, but after returning from his most recent hiatus, he has ridden 14 winners and struck up a recent partnership with talented Wexford filly Tristar. Kauri’s latest success came at the Awapuni Synthetic on Sunday, where he partnered course specialist Doubtful Sound for his employer, Suzy Gordon. Since entering her stable, the gelding had won five all-weather races prior to Sunday’s Rating 75 contest, where he was the 62kg topweight. Decreasing his impost down to a competitive 59kg, Doubtful Sound broke away well from the ace barrier, and while he is often seen in the pacemaking role, Kauri was happy to sit in the trail of a free-rolling Jamaica Bay. The leader eased off the fence on the home turn and Doubtful Sound shot straight through the gap, outsprinting Jamaica Bay and Gohugo to score comfortably at the post by three quarters of a length. “I wanted to let him find his own rhythm, there wasn’t a set plan, but luckily the horse in front of me popped off the fence and we got the dream run through,” Kauri said. “It all worked out really well. “He switched off a little bit, but when I asked him, he really sprinted and put on a pretty impressive last 350m.” Kauri had been aboard Doubtful Sound in three of his six victories and while the gelding thrives on the synthetic, he said it is always an uncertainty as to whether horses will handle the surface. “You never really know how they’ll go, you look at the form and think they’ll go on the firm footing, but on the day, it can be a different story,” he said. The rescheduled New Plymouth meeting will bring more opportunities for Kauri, having secured the ride aboard Allan Sharrock’s speedy mare Street Gossip. In her first New Zealand campaign, the daughter of So You Think was a winner first-up and the market anticipates her to resume in the same fashion in the Robbie Patterson and Regal Lodge R75 (1200m). “She’s a nice mare and it’ll be my first time riding a race for Allan Sharrock, I’ve always wanted to ride for him, so I’m looking forward to it,” Kauri said. “The rail is out, so it usually plays pretty on-speed when that is the case.” His five other riding assignments include heavy-tracker Cocktail Lad in the One Bold Cat @ G1 Arrowfield R65 (2000m) and Primo Attitude in The Bold One @ Grangewilliam Stud MDN 2YO and Up (1600m).

Pencarrow Stud’s foundation mare Richebourg has left a lasting impression on the Australasian thoroughbred landscape, with Gr.1 Queensland Derby (2400m) victor Maison Louis further adding to that legacy with his Classic triumph at Eagle Farm on Saturday. The likes of Gr.1 Melbourne (3200m) and Caulfield Cup (2400m) heroine Ethereal, five-time Group One winner Darci Brahma, Group One winner Grand Echezeaux, and Group One performers Burgundy, Romanee Conti, Supera and Uberalles are descendants of the mare, and now Maison Louis can add his name to the esteemed list. “That was a really good effort, especially coming from our core family and it’s good to see that keep going,” Pencarrow Stud Manager Leon Casey said. “It has been an incredible family for us. They are capable of leaving speed horses that have got great acceleration, and also capable of leaving staying horses that settle well and can just keep finding gears over a trip. “There are a lot of good families, for whatever reason, do die out, but this family has three quite distinct branches going at the moment, and they are going as well as each other. We are pretty lucky.” With victory, Maison Louis also continued the incredible run of form of Waikato Stud stallion Super Seth, becoming his fourth individual Group One winner, alongside Linebacker, La Dorada and Feroce. “It is good to see Super Seth doing such a good job,” Casey said. Maison Louis is a son of stakes winner Cote D’Or, who won eight of her 19 starts for trainers Ken and Bev Kelso, including the Listed Matamata Cup (1600m). The three-year-old gelding was her third foal, with his two older siblings, Dresse’ Par Joli and Shooting Stride, also raceday winners. “She was a very good mare and we possibly didn’t see the best of her,” Casey said. “She has left some nice types. That is her third winner and she is putting together a good record now. “She leaves a nice type and they are good, sensible horses. That really stood to him (Maison Louis) on Saturday, he settled really well in a slowly run race, and that put him in a great spot to capitalise on things.” Maison Louis was purchased out of Pencarrow’s 2023 New Zealand Bloodstock Book 1 Yearling Sale draft by Go Racing for $250,000, and he has gone on to win four of his seven starts to date for trainers John O’Shea and Tom Charlton, accruing nearly $680,000 in stakes. “He wasn’t an overly big horse, but he was a nice type at the sales and sold for pretty good money,” Casey said. “We always had hopes that he would go on to do something.” Earlier in the day, fellow Pencarrow graduate Major Major added to the Cambridge farm’s impressive season tally when taking out the Trackside.co.nz 2100 at Ellerslie for trainers Simon and Katrina Alexander. “He is winning nicely in open company, you never know where he is going to finish off,” Casey said.
