In addition to the above.... racemeetings should also showcase horses for syndication with trainers being in attendance for discussion. This would allow young trainers with limited budget to get involved at lower cost and more transparency to syndicate members. If more of these activities take place on raceday then a scenario of fewer races on the day but more actual racedays is possible. -
andicapper’s Blog 18/11 The New Zealand Cup carnival provides the perfect finale to New Zealand’s spring racing. The 3-day, Group 1 carnival is unique, and fits ideally on the back of Melbourne Cup week. It is a busy racing week, with 9 meetings programmed across the country, and invariably presents numerous re-ratings of interest. We touch on Open race winners below. Feature Open race winner ratings: Bella Waters Gartshore Tauranga Stakes, Group 2, $150k 98 Mehzebeen Martin Collins NZ Cup, Group 3, $400k 97 Kopua TAB Mile, Group 3, $250k 96 Mystic Park Lindauer Stewards, Listed, $140k 95 Bella Waters entered the Tauranga Stakes as a rating 84 horse and risked a large re-rating for a top 4 finish - given she was competing at WFA against a 105-rated horse, Ladie’s Man, and other high-rating horses at the level weights. In winning she beat two rating 98 horses, Pearl Of Alsace and Mali Ston, in a tight finish. Given the narrow margins, and the relative weights, a re-rating to 98 (+14) was appropriate. Any less of a re-rating would have her receiving weight at their next meeting under handicap conditions, which is not equitable. The risk and benefits of running a progressive horse in a race under these conditions is a balancing act. No doubt Cambridge Stud factored these, and the calculated risk has paid dividends with Bella Waters now a Group-2 winning mare. In terms of feedback, Kopua was the most contentious re-rating of the week with his 9-point re-rating for the TAB Mile win. The entry of Perfect Scenario (rating 107) pushed the majority of field to 53kgs and out of the handicap. Kopua was 6 points out of the handicap (ie. In a precise handicap he would have carried 50kgs). To give Kopua a re-rating 6 points or less for the win would see the entire field facing him again at exactly the same weights set-up. Kopua was given 3 points for the win, and 6 points for the out of handicaps adjustment. In simple terms, had the race been run again Kopua would carry 54.5kgs. Mehzebeen and Mystic Park were standard feature race re-ratings of 5 points, given no issues with out of handicap. Previously, Mehzebeen had attracted an 8-point re-rating on Day 1 for an out of the handicap win in the Metropolitan Trophy (Listed). In that race also, Beavertown Boy was re-rated 7 points for his 2nd placing, moving him 1kg below the winner at that point in time. -

Racing is a professional sport. Horses can be likened to players and it would be absurd of professional leagues such as the NFL, NBA etc if they gave away their potential income from player auctions to outside enterprises. Every racemeeting should have time set aside for showing off potential sale horses either just in the parade ring or as a barrier trial. Trackside TV could also broadcast the proceedings therefore the vendor will get far better exposure than currently with NZ Bloodstock. Breeding catalogues can be provided by more than just NZB so they would have to do it at a competitive rate. If clubs thought smart about all the revenue streams they can get into then racing would be in far better position. -

6th-Del Mar, $56,500, Msw, 11-17, 2yo, 1m, 1:36.49, ft, 2 1/2 lengths. JOURNALISM (c, 2, Curlin–Mopotism {GSW & MGISP, $876,090}, by Uncle Mo), an $825,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga grad, wrote his own headline as he made the papers at the seaside oval on Sunday. The bay showed signs that he could rally in such a fashion when he was up for third on debut at Santa Anita Oct. 27. Allowed to go off as a 9-2 shot here, the 2-year-old burst out of the stall, but was content to settle in fifth as a longshot showed the way into the first turn. As the top two selections on the tote board–Mellencamp (Constitution) and Rank (Honor A.P.)–kept a close eye on the speedballing pacesetter, Journalism waited patiently along the rail up the backstretch. The juvenile took up the chase around the far turn, but it looked as though he was going to miss his deadline as the short prices got the jump entering the lane. With Rank putting away Mellencamp before the eighth pole, the Michael McCarthy trainee clearly relished the task ahead of him because he motored by his opponent to grab the headline of 'Maiden Breaker by Three Lengths.' Acquired by Don Alberto for $1.05 million at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Fall Mixed Sale, the winner's dam is responsible for a colt named Nitro Tap (Tapit), who himself went to Flying Dutchmen for $1.5 million at this year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale. Mopitism foaled a filly by Into Mischief, and was sent to both Flightline and Tapit for next season. Under Journalism's third dam we find MGSW Songster (Songandaprayer). Sales History: $825,000 Ylg '23 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $38,880. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

In the first domestic graded race for juveniles since the Breeders' Cup a little more than two weeks ago, 'TDN Rising Star' Bullard (c, 2, Gun Runner–Reve d'Amour, by Warrior's Reward) stayed unbeaten to capture Del Mar's GIII Bob Hope Stakes Sunday. He trailed early as first Maximus (Maximus Mischief) and then McKinzie Street (McKinzie) set blazing early fractions of :21.63 and :43.93. Moving easily on the turn, Bullard blew by everyone under Umberto Rispoli to capture his first graded race. Madaket Road (Quality Road), who was making his first career start, finished second, while MGISP McKinzie Street held for third. Bullard's only previous start was a win at six furlongs over the Del Mar surface Sept. 1; his 84 Beyer Speed Figure that day was the co-highest in this field and earned him the 'Rising Star' honors. The dark bay was a $675,000 Keeneland September purchase last year.
