Further Trivia Gamma.... I was just sent a list which shows AG Herlihy as the winningest Interdom driver in history. The list has Finals plus heat wins and with 39 he is one ahead of Anthony Butt. The Bronze goes to Australia Brian Hancock. -

Danny O’Brien had his sights on starting Grinzinger Belle (NZ) (Shamexpress) in the Gr.1 Tattersall’s Tiara Stakes (1400m) at Eagle Farm for some time, but he knew there was a caveat on this plan as she was to be sold at the Chairman’s Sale in May. Luckily for O’Brien, after Yulong Investments purchased the mare for $1.45 million from her owner John Wheeler, they elected to leave her with him and allow him to fulfil his plan. Now the O’Brien stable is hoping they can impress the behemoth ownership group by winning the final Gr.1 race for the season. O’Brien’s racing manager Jack Howard said they were hoping it was going to be the start of a long and fruitful relationship. “We were lucky enough to get her back and hopefully we can get a result for them, which will hopefully continue the relationship going forward,” Howard said. Grinzinger Belle won the Gr.2 Sunline Stakes at The Valley two starts ago, and she followed that with a seventh placing in the Gr.1 Queen Of The Turf Stakes at Randwick on April 12. Howard said after that O’Brien set his sights on the Tatt’s Tiara Stakes knowing Grinzinger Belle fires when she is fresh. “She’s definitely ready to go. She has a good fresh record over that trip and hopefully we can get a result for Yulong. She probably deserves a good race,” Howard said. “She’s done enough work. She had a jumpout here before and she went along as one of Gai’s really went along.” “We’re hoping for rain as it assists her and detracts from the others.” After the Tatt’s Tiara, Howard said they will discuss Grinzinger Belle’s future with Yulong. “She’s been extremely consistent throughout her whole career. There’s plenty of good races she can target through the spring and the autumn.” Grinzinger Belle is an $11 chance with Sportsbet and will be ridden by Tim Clark. O’Brien will also have a last-start winner in two-year-old colt Brave Design, who won the Listed Oxlade Stakes (1200m) on June 14, at Eagle Farm and he will run in the Listed Tattersall’s Stakes (1400m) on Saturday. “Hopefully we can continue the good strike-rate up in Queensland as he’s been our only other runner there.” View the full article -

Yes gamma, Ranga is top shelf, Great to recall some great races...any idea on the missing driver in Pacers final , the horse was Trotting bred by Game Pride outa a Great Evander mare ! You have good recall and photos on hand. Scott Phelan got a place on HolmesDG Tony Herlihy 2nds on Chokin and Christopher Vance and 4 x Trotting Finals wins Peter Ferguson Kates First David Butcher Win and 4th with Elsu ,also drove Changeover 4th ,Winforu 2nd Brabham 5th and Gaellic Skipper. Morrie Mack Kylies hero and some good Trots drives ,David Moss ,Sovereignty ,Mountain Gold BPurdon several drives won Trots with Night Allowance Mango drove Franco Ice and Luxury Liner Mattie White Lombo Navigator Mark Purdon...legend ...I think 3 Pacing , 4 x Trots Great memories....Maybe NZ would have more multiple winners with mobile starts and without the 24 yard handicaps etc -

I think this is worse than hitting a horse when not in contention of running in the first five. Not being in contention is a judgment call which could be based on a number of factors i.e. how does the horse feel, have you ridden the horse before, does it run on from back in the field, what is the start number in this campaign, how has the horse trained and eaten this week, is today's race the optimum distance, is the trainer trying different tactics etc. A well trained horse with ability is a pleasure for a jockey to ride and may need little whipping. For the others make sure you have a savvy jockey who knows how to hit, where to hit and how to count. Is it really that hard? There are official eyes, cameras and vets to enforce the rules. If jockeys want to ride and be paid, abide by those rules, or suffer the consequences.
