    • yeah nah ?  no error  so Lordship won the NZ Cup in the spring of 1962'  with Cardigan Bay 5th off 24 yards .  during the 62-63 season dates. Then Cardigan Bay won the Interdominion  also in the 62-63 season in the early months of 1963 in Australia. THEN, Later that year Cardigan Bay won his NZ Cup (off an incredible 54 yards handicap) also in 1963 so NO error.  Perhaps I should edit for you to avoid your  confusion ??,  Where I wrote this , I should of put  but Cardy 'had' got back on track in the Spring 'of 1962' by running 5th to Lordship in a soggy '1962' NZ Cup.    during the 62-63' racing season.

    • Two weeks after Churchill Downs, Inc. (CDI) threatened to pull out of racing at Fair Grounds in New Orleans and one week after the gaming company extracted purse-cut concessions from the Louisiana Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (LAHBPA), the Louisiana State Racing Commission (LSRC) on Tuesday approved 76 November-through-March race dates for the 2025-26 meet at historic New Orleans track. CDI had informed the commission by letter June 9 it wanted to voluntarily surrender its Fair Grounds license because a March state Supreme Court decision and two recent pieces of legislation, all related to gaming, were allegedly “adverse and harmful to the economic interests of Fair Grounds.” Non-public negotiations involving state leaders and the LHBPA's agreement to “slight” purse reductions subsequently resulted in CDI walking back its threat to close. As TDN's Bill Finley reported June 17, “One factor that may have caused CDI to strike a more conciliatory tone was action taken last week by the New Orleans City Council and state lawmakers to ensure that the property could not be developed for other uses.” Anthony McAuley of the New Orleans digital news site NOLA.com reported that Cathy Beeding, the Fair Grounds general manager, told the LSRC at the June 24 “emergency” meeting that the upcoming racing season would begin as previously planned, on Nov. 20. “We're just happy there's going to be a racing season this year,” Beeding told NOLA.com. LSRC chair Edward Koehl thanked Gov. Jeff Landry for his help in resolving the issue. After the meeting, he underscored to NOLA.com that the state made no concessions of any kind to CDI.   The post Louisiana Commission Awards Fair Grounds Dates After CDI Rescinds Threat To Close Track appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • A bit tough TABman.  Brodie suffers the infliction from the 7 deadly Sins a fair bit 😉, so just have to cut slack for those tendencies. It's a crazy world out there  , currently several countries (and Territories)  trying to Blow each other up, so there's a lot of worse things happening than ENTAIN trying to get a quid , and helping harness racing with Funding. Or Brodie trying to get a quid out of them in return Fire lol. 😂  Fantasizes about getting some large Bets on?  in a bit of 'greed' and 'gluttony'  ,  a bit like the Stonewall bloke is doing lately on those Telfer runners big Bets. leading to A bit of 'Envy' coming out there.  🤣😋💰 At least he is wanting the Harness sport to continue , and is not a 'sloth' in speaking out about what he believes will keep the game going. We know ENTAIN has helped as well as they can . their sub-branch of LADBROKES carries the QLD harness along with great support , and we would struggle without it . maybe Not survive even.  ENtain has to wear the 'Wrath' of the Brodster as he 'Lusts' after some cash . But at least he has 'pride' in his achievements in the past that has led to his current situation of I'll health 'verbal d' you say ? Seven deadly Sins Syndrome is the diagnosis.  ****  no known cure i'm afraid 😋  
    • Scratched from the GI Woody Stephens S. on the blockbuster GI Belmont Stakes program at Saratoga June 7, 'TDN Rising Star' Colloquial (Vekoma) will be given 60 days off, per co-owner Jack Wolf of Starlight Racing. “He's at Fair Hill right now with Bruce Jackson,” Wolf said. “Dr. Yarborough and (trainer) George (Weaver) didn't like the way that he was moving. Even though–we'd been pointing to that thing for some time–it was a tough call, it was the right call. He'll probably be back in 60 days or something like that. Nothing too terribly major.” The prestigious GI Malibu S., typically held on Santa Anita's opening day program the day after Christmas, will be the long-term target for the Harrell Ventures and Starlight Racing colorbearer upon his return. “I'm sure he'll be ready for the Malibu, or probably a race before then,” Wolf said. “That's sort of what we're thinking anyway. The horse will tell us as you well know.” Colloquial posted four breezes for Weaver following his front-running win in Keeneland's Lafayette S. Apr. 7. He was listed at odds of 6-1 on the morning line in a very deep renewal of the Woody Stephens, which was won by 'Rising Star' Patch Adams (Into Mischief). The $240,000 Keeneland September graduate earned a gaudy 106 Beyer in his prior start, a seven-length maiden win in his sophomore debut off the bench at Aqueduct Feb. 7. Only three 3-year-olds have run faster races on the Beyer scale this year–Sovereignty (Into Mischief) (109), Journalism (Curlin) (108) and Magnitude (Not This Time) (108). Colloquial's debut second–beaten just a nose by Fierceness (City of Light)'s full-brother and subsequent GIII Futurity S. winner Mentee–at Aqueduct last June was highlighted in our 'Second Chances' series. Colloquial hails from the first crop of the promising Spendthrift Farm stallion and Weaver-trained Vekoma, who is already responsible for a quartet of graded winners. He was produced by the John Oxley-bred, two-time winner Terminology (Bernardini). His third dam is Oxley's GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Gal in a Ruckus. He was bred in Kentucky by Michael and J.B. Orem. “Vekoma is the next coming,” Wolf said.
