    • Tell that to the purchasers of STORM BOY whose sale price went ballistic after winning the MM with an exceptional rating 50m to Coolmore, who aren't mugs last time I looked Subsequently only won a G3, maybe they are?? Aidan O'Brien now preparing to improve the rating at Ascot next summer  
    • As an industry or sport we seem to have an obsession with breeding bonuses in the hope that breeding more horse's will make people race more North and South, i see that as  flawed. Surely supply and demand the first principle in every other business applies here, why not focus on  promoting ownership opportunities  throughout the country  Nah makes to much sense I'll give myself an uppercut. 
    • The connections of Fantastic Moon (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), eleventh in Sunday's G1 Japan Cup, have declined an invitation to the G1 Longines Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin Racecourse on Dec. 8, and the 4-year-old has been officially retired, Liberty Racing's Lars-W. Baumgarten confirmed Monday on X. Fantastic Moon will enter stud in 2025 at Gestut Ebbesloh as previously announced. “Finishing 11th in the Japan Cup, Fantastic Moon appeared a bit tired in the final furlong. It was a long season for him. We'll pass on the HK Vase and fly him home for the next leg of his career at Ebbesloh Stud. You gave us memories we'll treasure forever,” the social media post read.       Trained by Sarah Steinberg, Fantastic Moon won the 2023 G1 Deutsches Derby to be named champion of his generation and struck twice this season at group level, including a 1 1/4-length victory in the G1 Grosser Preis von Baden in September. He retires with a record of 7-3-1 from 15 starts for earnings of $924,911. Goliath (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) is also unlikely to make the trip to Hong Kong for the Vase, South China Morning Post said. Sixth and not beaten far behind Do Deuce (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}) at the weekend, Goliath was also runner-up in this year's G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot and won the G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris when prepping for his trip to Tokyo.

    • Below the Coronial report into jockey Simone Montgomerie's death in the Darwin Cup 2014 Metro courses like Pukekohe simply should not have crossings...if they do there should be zero tolerance to unlevel ground and significantly different coloured turf as was the case here   "Ultimately, for reasons I elaborate on below, I was able to be comfortably satisfied that Ms Montgomerie fell from Riahgrand in Race 6 because it had an extreme and unusual reaction to the pedestrian crossing that was at that time positioned around 200-metres before the finishing line. The horse baulked or shied to the left and then appeared to try and stop before lurching forward again, and not even the most gifted of riders, as Ms Montgomerie was, could stay seated. Although horses have been known to baulk or shy at crossings, necessitating a range of measures to try and blend them into the rest of the track, this reaction from the horse was very exceptional and unexpected. I heard evidence from representatives of the Darwin Turf Club (DTC) and Thoroughbred Racing Northern Territory (TRNT), and they impressed me as people who are dedicated to ensuring that the sport they love is as safe as possible for its participants. I commend DTC for making the proactive decision to remove the 200 metre crossing after Ms Montgomerie’s accident since that cautious approach was warranted, but given the bizarre circumstances of this accident and the lengths that had been taken to ensure the crossing was maintained before 2013, I am not critical that it wasn’t done beforehand. I accept without hesitation that Ms Montgomerie’s death has been devastating for the close knit racing community in the Territory and those who gave evidence before me have approached this inquest in a spirit of cooperation that speaks to their genuine concern for Ms Montgomerie and her family and the desire to learn from this tragedy to ensure there is no repeat"
