i actually watched the first race at marburg. I actually think racing at marburg seems more competitive and everyone has a pre conceived plan of trying ,at least a bit more than they do at the likes of albion park in my opnion.. so marburg is an ok look for the industry from a betting perspective. but race 1 run yesterday wasn't. i had a very small bet on the race and backed the favorite to win ,it was paying $2.80. well they had a false start the first time as the 4 horse never looked like pacing away,then in the re start you could tell it would break,but it mangaed to get to the first bend before doing so,then unfortunately checked 4 of the other runners enough to make you think there was only 3 chances left. The favorite had taken the lead easily early. Well they had only gone 300m with the front 3 about 10 and 20 lengths in front of the 4th and 5th horses, when t mcmullen did what she sometimes does and hooked off the inside and attacked the favorite for the lead. Normally you would think well fair enough,but this time It seemed such a dumb move as she was on the outsider and was attacking the favorite when clearly her horse was being pushed to go faster than it could,so hey, you could tell it was gone as soon as she did that,but they still ran along very fast for about a round like that befiore she sent out the white flag and was stopping badly. Well because they had run along so fast,the field remained spread out and the favorite looked like it was going to win by the length of the straight the way it was travelling. But then they called the race off with a round to go,because the number 4 horse had broken again when at the back,had been taken to the outside of the track by its driver with a gear issue and the mobile vehicle and starter crew vehicle decided to park up on the track while they gave that bloke a hand .The stewsrds saw this and decided to call the race off with a round to go. So if you looked at the video,you could see the horse that had the gear problem had gone on tis merry way well before the horses in the race got to where it had been,,but the starters assistants just stood next to their vehicle in the middle of the track nonchalontly walking back to the vehicle just before the race was called off. They didn't even try to get out of the way after the race was called off,just watching the field run past them,even though none of the horses in the race shied at it,maybe knowing the race had been called off ,thinking well whats the pointb of driving off as its a no race anyway. it was all rather strange.i didn't bother to watch any more races from marburg after that,just changed channels again. -

By Michael Guerin The two biggest young guns of New Zealand pacing face potentially brutal barrier draws at Friday night’s mammoth Addington meeting. And the causes of both Marketplace and Jumal could be made even more difficult by their key rivals drawing the ace in each race. The 13-race card is stacked with outstanding fields with a common theme of the best horses getting the hardest jobs. That was not unexpected in the Commodore Hotel Main Pace in which Akuta and Republican Party share the 25m backmark or in the Braxton Farriers Worthy Queen Trot, in which Oscar Bonavena, Muscle Mountain, One Over All and the returning Bet N Win face daunting 20m handicaps over 2000m. But while those disadvantages were pre-ordained it was luck of the draw, or should that be no luck, for Marketplace who faces barrier eight of nine in the $100,000 Dawkins Group Flying Stakes and the unbeaten Jumal who will start from the second line in the NZBS Harness Million Two-Year-Old Pace for the boys. They are undoubtedly both good enough to overcome their draws but they are made even more difficult by the fact in the Flying Stakes last start winner Rubira has drawn barrier 1 and has the gate speed to use it. And in the Harness Million the hugely talented Zeus Lightning has barrier 1 so looks set to bet a long way in front of Jumal when the big field settles into some sort of order. That didn’t stop the TAB bookies opening Jumal at $1.85 but Marketplace drawing outside all of his main rivals saw his price pushed to $2.20, huge odds for him. The luckless draws for the better young pacers continued in the NZBS Harness Million Two-Year-Old Fillies in which Shezsofast will start from widest of the eight runners. Earlier in the night there are just four starters in the $75,000 NZBS Harness Million Trot, with Aussie baby Kyvalley Ray set to start a hot favourite.

Yoshizawa Holding Co. Ltd's American Stage (Into Mischief), who returned from a six-month layoff to just miss in a 1200-meter allowance at Kyoto Racecourse on Oct. 5, is being pointed for an appearance in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar on Saturday, Nov. 1, according to a report from the Netkeiba website in Japan. A $500,000 Keeneland September yearling, the Spendthift Farm-bred 3-year-old colt posted a record of 3-2-1 from six juvenile appearances, including a three-race winning streak that culminated with a 3 1/2-length victory in his lone try on the grass at Chukyo last December. Somewhat audaciously sent to Dubai over the winter, the bay was a creditable second to top sprinter Tuz (Oxbow) in the G3 Mahab Al Shimaal on the Super Saturday program at Meydan Mar. 1 and was a late invitee to the Apr. 5 G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen, finishing sixth to Dark Saffron (Flameaway). Making his first start since as the 9-10 favorite over the weekend, the Yoshito Yahagi trainee was ridden positively from the nine hole by Ryusei Sakai and set a pressured pace in advance of the 4-year-old filly Tagano Mist (Jpn) (Majestic Warrior) through strong fractions of :23.1 and :46.3. American Stage managed to put a length and a bit on Tagano Mist into the final furlong, but he was nabbed in the final couple of strides by his female rival and dropped a neck decision. The final time was a crisp 1:09.4 (video). “If there's nothing wrong after the race, we'll head [to the U.S.],” Yahagi told Netkeiba. Yahagi is a two-time winner at the Breeders' Cup, having upset the 2021 GI Distaff with Marche Lorraine (Jpn) (Orfevre {Jpn}) before saddling Loves Only You (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) at a much shorter price in the GI Filly & Mare Turf. Both wins came at Del Mar. Sakai is the regular rider of Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}), who will be one of the top three or four picks to improve on his third-place effort in last year's GI Classic behind his close relative, 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Sierra Leone (Gun Runner). Forever Young is campaigned by owner Susumu Fujita.

The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) held the 59th International Conference of Horseracing Authorities (ICHA) at Le Méridien Paris Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France on Monday. During this year's Conference, there was a particular focus on racing betting, both in the legal and illegal markets, along with marketing and customer experience. Throughout the course of the day, 165 delegates from around 40 countries heard from leaders from around the globe on these pressing topics. “The International Conference has for many years provided a platform for all of us, the stewards of racing in our respective jurisdictions, to come together and discuss the key issues impacting our sport today and to chart the course for its future,” said IFHA chair Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges during his welcome address. “Racing's long-term success is dependent on our ability to not only address the threats that we face today, but moreover to embrace the opportunities they present us.” Broadcaster Rishi Persad served as the moderator for the Conference, which featured two main sessions. The first session of the Conference, titled Racing Wagering & Marketing – What Today's Customers Want and What the Future Holds, explored the dynamic landscape of horse racing wagering and marketing while also examining how technological advancements and shifting consumer behaviours are reshaping the industry. Tony Allevato, chief revenue officer and president, NYRA Bets; Felicity Barnard, chief executive officer (CEO), Ascot Racecourse; Drew Fleming, president and CEO, Breeders' Cup Ltd; Pablo Kavulakian, president, American Racing Channel; and Atsushi Kikuta, director of International Affairs, Japan Racing Association (JRA) all took part. “I can assure you have that I have absolute faith and optimism in the growth of this sport, and I think there is a huge potential internationally,” said Barnard said. “I think we are doing lots of things right, but I think we could do a lot of things better, together.” Allevato echoed those thoughts, saying, “Sometimes, we don't give ourselves enough credit. If we all can: take a step back, look at what we are doing, trust ourselves, and know that we are creative. We can get horse racing to get to the next level. I truly believe that.” Growth of the Illegal Betting Market and Tackling Challenges in Betting Regulation served as the second session. Panelists discussed the immense growth of illegal betting on racing (and other sports) and also examined the impacts of tighter government controls on gambling. Speakers included Tom Chignell, consultant on Integrity Projects, the Hong Kong Jockey Club; Brant Dunshea, acting CEO, British Horseracing Authority; Luca Esposito, executive director, World Lottery Association; Martin Purbrick, chair of the IFHA Council on Anti-illegal Betting and Related Crime; and Vincent Ven, head of Anti-Match-Fixing, Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). Ven discussed how different sports share the same challenges and the importance of educating participants about potential integrity threats as well as working with all different stakeholders. Ben Cleminson, the CEO of Square in the Air, also presented on growth and innovation in sports and horse racing, while Salem Binmahfooz, chairman advisor and technical committee member of the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia, provided an overview of the 41st Asian Racing Conference (ARC). The ARC is scheduled to take place in Riyadh in February 2026. A replay of the live video stream and presentations will be available in the coming days.

Did Kate Hercock ride for the trainer? She seems to be the Jockey track expert in the CD. As for the track being shifty. That is par for the course with a sand based track. Ellerslie is the same. Which is great news. Were you there? You'd expect some kick back from a Soft 6/rainy weather on sandy track.
