Velocity is defined as the speed of an object going in a given direction, and the aptly named Velocity (Nyquist) proved to be moving fastest as she snuck up the fence to post a monster 35-1 upset in the GI Del Mar Oaks. A two-time winner by a combined margin of barely half a head, the Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners colorbearer came into the race with a nose victory July 20 over this course against optional claiming company. When compared to the rest of the field, namely even-money favorite MGSW Thought Process (Collected) and 8-5 chance SW & MGSP Lush Lips (GB) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), the betting public could only muster 35-1 odds for this daughter of Nyquist. In midpack as the pacesetter 'TDN Rising Star' SW & MGSP Casalu (Caracaro) rolled through an opening quarter in :23.22 and a half in :46.98, she was stuck on that fence as a wall of runners stood in her way entering the lane. Diving to the rail as the scramble to her outside finally produced open air, Velocity muscled her way to the fore and outkicked the closing Lush Lips to score her first black type of any kind. Thought Process managed to save third. Sales history: $27,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $75,000 2yo '24 OBSMAR. O-Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners; B-Peter E. Blum Thoroughbreds (KY); T-Michael McCarthy.

The King's Plate Stakes is Canada's race, the country's equivalent of the Kentucky Derby (G1) for 3-year-olds foaled in the country, but Aug. 16, the historic $725,444 contest belonged to two American owners: Bill and Al Ulwelling.View the full article -

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – If In Her Glory (Constitution), a 2-year-old filly, were a boxer, she would be in the flyweight division. Not big enough for the varsity; start her out on the JV. Ok, you get the idea. In Her Glory is not a big-robust looking young horse. In Saturday's sixth race at Saratoga Race Course–a $100,000 maiden special weight for 2-year-old fillies going 5 1/2 furlongs on the Mellon Turf Course–In Her Glory looked 10 feet tall as she ran professionally down the stretch and won the race by a head over Sadie Earp (Tiz The Law). Sent off at odds of 7-1 in the field of eight, it may have come as somewhat of a surprise, at least a mild one. Those who know the little gal the best would not be included in that group. “She's a fighter,” trainer Michael Trombetta said after In Her Glory had gotten her picture taken. She also showed that she has plenty of athleticism in that slight frame of hers. How big–or small–she is is not really known. Trombetta said he does not weigh his horses and estimates that In Her Glory might tip the scales at the low end of 900 pounds. As far as her height, he said he doesn't measure that either. Another estimate: maybe 15 hands. “I think she is the smallest 2-year-old I have this year,” Trombetta said. Trombetta got an inkling that In Her Glory might have some talent when he watched her in her first start, at Colonial on July 19. After getting off a touch slow, she revved up and finished a clear second in the five-furlong race on the grass. What happened after she crossed the finish line got the trainer excited. “She looked hopelessly beaten down the backside and she came really rolling to finish a fast-closing second,” Trombetta said. “When the camera panned out around the turf, she was like 15, 20 lengths in front of the rest of the horses. I said, 'wow, she is just figuring it out.” Despite the impressive showing at Colonial, Trombetta wasn't sure if coming to Saratoga was the right move for her little girl. Yes, she had shown promise in her first start, but she would be facing tougher in the Saratoga spot. Charlotte Weber hugs jockey Luis Saez | Sarah Andrew Because he thought she showed athleticism and because she showed a tenacity in her debut, he threw caution to the wind and came to the Spa. The right decision. “She broke running and put herself in the race,” Trombetta said. “She was way closer than I thought she would be. I thought Wesley's (trainer Ward) horses (Sadie Earp and Santina (Maclean's Music) would be going like a bat out of hell but that did not really happen.” Guided by jockey Luis Saez, who had four winners on the Saturday card, In Her Glory was never worse than second and completed the distance in 1:03.55. She paid $17.20, $8.80 and $5.50. In Her Glory is owned and bred by Charlotte Weber's Live Oak Plantation. She is the first foal out of the mare Zonda (Scat Daddy). When she was born, Weber could not tell what this smallish filly might be like. “I could no more tell you that than I could fly,” Weber said with a laugh. “I had some 10 fillies, and you hope they come out alright and look alright. When you are in the breeding shed or the foaling shed you just hope you have a good baby and the birth comes alright.” The post Saratoga Maidens Presented by Keeneland: Small in Stature, but In Her Glory Shows She Can Run appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

In my opinion what I think you are advocating will do the opposite i.e. will be worse for "horse and human welfare". We are about to see thousands of Greyhounds cast out to a life that will be far worse for their health and welfare. So a big YES to your question - what you are advocating will eventually achieve the opposite. Perhaps that is what you want. At the end of the day if you, @Freda , @Thomass and the @Comic Dog were honest you would admit you are Anti-Racing and late to that party by decades. -

No. The UK is a basket case financially and the Government has to find revenue from everywhere. From what I've read the UK is close to flash point and significant civil unrest. I wouldn't be quoting anything from that hell hole at the moment. Go Woke You Go Broke. You should take heed of that @curious .
