    • Thought it was Whiteman who uses that term.
    • I don't think it is great they bought in the flank strike rule as it is difficult to determine and enforce.  Easy for you and @Thomass to sit in your armchair during sleepless nights as you worry about whip strikes and count them instead of sheep.   "Eureka I found one and I'm going to post it online".... But then @curious didn't FIND it @Thomass found it.  No doubt he has forwarded it to the animal rights lobby just like @Yankiwi did. 
    • Does anyone truly comprehend the issues? That's been going on for at least 25 years or more.   Then again the strangled small players only need one good horse. How have they "pushed their barrows"?  It is assumed that The Breeders made all the "detrimental" decisions.  But did they?  If for arguments sake they did where were the other stakeholder voices?  Why weren't the other industry associations on the ball?  That said are some criticising with the benefit of hindsight? BTW the discussion with @Huey isn't circular its a dead end because he never provides any specific detail just generalises about a successful group of people he labels "Whales".  
    • The $250,000 Great West Turf Sprint has been added to Remington Park stakes schedule for 2025, featuring 32 stakes worth $3.4 million. The five-furlong dash will be one of eight stakes on the biggest night of racing at the Oklahoma City oval on Sept. 28, including the featured $400,000 GIII Oklahoma Derby. “We feel the addition of the Great West Turf Sprint adds more value to Oklahoma Derby Day and our overall stakes schedule,” said Matt Vance, Remington Park executive vice president of racing. “Our turf course is in prime condition for the first three months of our season. We believe the Great West will be a potential fit for horsemen looking for prep opportunities just over a month before competing in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint. The five-furlong distance of the Great West is the exact same distance as the BC Turf Sprint at Del Mar this fall.” The Remington turf course, which will be in use from the start of the season through at least the month of October, will play host to eight stakes races. There are 18 events restricted to horses bred in Oklahoma, eight of which are carded for Oklahoma Classics night on Oct. 17. The meet kicks off Friday, Aug. 8 and continues through Dec. 20, a six-stakes card that includes the $300,000 Springboard Mile for the 2-year-old males and the Toby Keith Stakes (formerly Trapeze Stakes) for juvenile fillies and named in honor of the late country music star. The regular post time for the 2025 Thoroughbred season is 6 p.m. CDT, 30 minutes earlier than last year. Post time for Oklahoma Derby day is 3 p.m. and the Springboard Mile program begins at 5 p.m. The post Great West Turf Sprint Added To Remington Stakes Schedule appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
