What Wagga Races Where Murrumbidgee Turf Club – Travers St, Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 When Tuesday, December 24, 2024 First Race 1pm AEDT Visit Dabble Christmas Eve racing heads to the Murrumbidgee Turf Club on Tuesday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program set for decision. Participants will be racing on the Riverside circuit, and with warm conditions forecast in the lead-up, punters can anticipate a genuine Good 4 surface. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 1pm local time. Best Bet at Wagga: Associate The Danielle Seib-trained Associate appears set to peak third-up in the campaign and looks perfectly placed in the $40,000 Wagga Wagga Ryder Cup (1675m). The Star Witness gelding caught the eye when closing off impressively in the Nowra Cup (1600m) on December 15, getting too far back before exploding through the line to go down by a length. Barrier six should allow Pierre Boudvillain to take closer order, and provided Associate can sit within striking distance turning for home, this guy should justify the short price with Neds. Best Bet Race 6 – #7 Associate (6) 5yo Gelding | T: Danielle Seib | J: Pierre Boudvillain (55kg) +150 with Neds Next Best at Wagga: Tap ‘N’ Run Tap ‘N’ Run returns from a 200-day spell and must be considered the class runner in this BM82 contest. The son of Reward For Effort is undefeated at this course and distance, and although his first-up record appears average on paper, this contest lacks depth compared to what he’s faced in the past. He needs to lug 63kg to victory, but with gate one allowing the seven-year-old to land on the leaders’ back throughout, Tap ‘N’ Run should get the job done despite his lengthy absence. Next Best Race 4 – #1 Tap ‘N’ Run (1) 7yo Gelding | T: Ron Stubbs | J: Jason Lyon (63kg) +300 with BlondeBet Best Value at Wagga: Ferrari Man Ferrari Man drops back significantly in grade after contesting a BM70 at Canberra on December 13. He was only beaten less than a half-length on that occasion and showed plenty of fight when attempting to make all. Glenn Cahill takes 3kg off his back after the claim, and provided Ferrari Man can tick-over a soft sectional or two in the middle stages, this guy will give a bold sight at the each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 5 – #1 Ferrari Man (3) 5yo Gelding | T: Andrew Bourke | J: Glenn Cahill (a3kg) (62kg) +700 with Picklebet Tuesday quaddie tips for Wagga Wagga quadrella selections December 24, 2024 1-2-7-13 2-3-7 2-3-4-10 2-9-10-12 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -
I've just read the latest announcement about a new 2 year old bonus scheme from brad steele,whom it says is the architect behind the scheme. I have to admit,i had to read the press release several times to get my head around it. it seemingly is targeting rewarding people who buy yearlings by certain sires,who have had 3 or less crops so far in nz,then to meet the criteria the pruchasers are to syndicate the horses and have a certain % of owners under age 40 involved. Then you line the horse up twice in 2026 and they will pay the owners $4000 and the trainer $1000. You can get around the stallion criteria ,to earn the $5000 for starting twice as a two year old,by apparently buying any yearling at the sales and giving it to a non winning group 1 trainer and getting them to line up the horse twice as a 2 year old. Theres other bonuses of $50,000 that will be paid to the first horse home in the sales final races,who meets certain criteria. What do i think? well to me its a hair brained scheme thought up by people who i've previously referred to as not very clever. This latest announcement does nothing to change that,in fact it just reinforces how i currently think. I know only a dozen or so owners to speak to,but i can't think of one that would qualify if the scheme was being run this season. Again i ask,what is this obsession HRNZ and brad steele has with 2 year old racing? Why are the owners,trainers,breeders of 2 year olds more important than all the owners,trainers,breeders of 3 year old and older horses in training. i would guess that if you were to say which part of the industry provides the worst returns profit wise,using the formula stakes,bonuses funded v turnover. surely it would be 2 year old racing ,yet thats what HRNZ want to have more of. Are these people stupid or what?
