    • Good on them, Ellerslie showed time works wonders. I see they have been advised by Liam O'Keefe the Flemington track manager for the last 9 months, so I guess they are doing all they can to get the track right. That of course won't shut up the usual suspects who advance without evidence I might add, that it is all part of a conspiracy to centralise racing in Auckland/Waikato. Racing needs to be strong not just in Auckland/Waikato, but Awapuni/Hawkes Bay/Taranaki/ Wellington regions as well as the South Island. Whoever could think for that not to be, as a viable business strategy has rocks in their head, not littering the Awapuni track lol
    • Multiple grade 1 winner Imperial Hint, who set a track record for six furlongs at Saratoga Race Course that still stands today, was euthanized following a lengthy struggle with laminitis, according to Clear Creek Stud in Louisiana where he stood.View the full article
    • Give it a boot Robbie, and the other song The Canterbury Machine, brilliant compositions, hard to believe those songs came out about the time Kevin Bloody Wilson started out his musical career, Kev though unlike Rugby can still sell out a concert and Rugby is mostly played in front of modest crowds mostly. Ken Anderson, great caller but if I'm correct not so popular away from the microphone, somewhere Rugby lost it's place among the pshyche of many New Zealanders, or maybe that's because many New Zealanders now are from foreign origins and like Horse Racing in Auckland just not interested.
    • 5. DEEP LEARNING, SAR, 8/8, 1 1/16m (turf) 'TDN RISING STAR' (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-84 (f, 2, by Cairo Prince–Dovima, by Union Rags) O-Klaravich Stables. B-Tony Dardis, Dell Ridge Farm, Ken Donworth and Desmond Ryan (Ky). T-Chad Brown. J-Flavien Prat. Deep Learning's debut generated the highest Beyer so far this year among 2-year-old turf fillies, and stacks up well with some of Brown's past stars. Five of his six GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winners also launched their careers in Saratoga 1 1/16-mile turf maiden races–and her 84 Beyer tops them all (Brown's other winner, Rushing Fall, debuted in mid-September at Belmont with an 85). The next time we see her, Deep Learning will likely be solidly favored in stakes company. Oddly enough, her half-sister Sunset Beauty broke her maiden impressively at Ellis Park in a $30k claimer–only 28 minutes after Deep Learning's victory last Friday. 4. OPERATION SUNRISE, ELP, 8/9, 5 1/2 furlongs (turf) Beyer Speed Figure- 86 (c, 3, by War Front–Shuruq, by Elusive Quality) O/B-Godolphin (Ky). T-Bill Mott. J-Jaime Torres. Godolphin's second-time starter was 9-2 in the program based on his lackluster run back in April, but 8-5 when betting was done. As the old saying goes, somebody knew something–and they were right. Winning by 7 3/4 lengths in a turf sprint is an accomplishment, and he's a half-brother to two graded-stakes turf females who had no problems carrying their speed around two turns. 3. GOLDEN TORNADO, SAR, 8/9, 6 furlongs 'TDN RISING STAR' (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 86 (c, 2, by McKinzie–Ruby Trust, by Smart Strike) O-Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, Gainesway Stable and Legendary Thoroughbreds. B-Gainesway Thoroughbreds (Ky). T-Danny Gargan. J-Joel Rosario. His 3-year-old half-brother Verifire (Authentic) has started his career on a 3-for-3 tear for Resolute Racing and Brad Cox, and Golden Tornado looked good, too, to nail down this week's top spot. Sent away the 7-2 third choice, he stalked front-running 7-5 favorite Oscar's Hope and kicked clear in the final furlong. Last month Gargan also unveiled debut winner Iron Orchard, who looks like one of the better NY-bred 2-year-old fillies we've seen thus far. 2. CARMEL COAST, SAR, 8/10, 6 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 86 (f, 2, by Omaha Beach-Carmel Beauty, by Arch) O-Legion Racing, MHM Stables, Ed Stefanski and William Conlin. B-Hunter Valley Farm (Ky). T-Whit Beckman. J-Kendrick Carmouche. Carmel Coast's 86 Beyer is the second-fastest thus far at Saratoga for a 2-year-old filly, behind only the unbeaten Mythical's 93 in the Tremont on Belmont weekend. She zipped strongly to the front at first asking to cruise by 5 1/2, and Pletcher-trained runner-up Lovely Christina finished 10 1/2 lengths ahead of the others–a sign of a strong race. Carmel Coast's dam is a full-sister to a Grade I stakes winner, but she was 0-for-7 on the track, her previous offspring couldn't run much, and she was sold last November for only $15k. However, this one can run. 1. WORTHY CHARGE, SAR, 8/10, 1 mile, (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 90 (c, 3, by Liam's Map-Queen Bee to You, by Old Topper) O-St. Elias Stable. B-Christopher St Hilaire and Adam Vali (Ky). T-Chad Brown. J-Flavien Prat. Worthy Charge touted himself in his July 4 debut by finishing a solid second with an 84 Beyer despite an awkward start, and here powerfully ran away from Godolphin's perpetually unlucky maiden Chillax. His California-bred dam finished her career with three straight 86 Beyer stakes wins, the last two against open company in the GIII Bayakoa and La Canada. At least in the speed figure department, Worthy Charge has already surpassed her.
