    • You'd have to be Magoo to miss Stott's leg extension and his torso corkscrewing to enable extra power for his illegal over the shoulder action The only bit of good news going forward is that Curious and myself embarrassed NZTR into banning whip use on the flank I emailed the previous RIB CEO Mike Clement numerous times pointing out that NZTR had signed up to the International Federation of Horseracing Associations (IFHA) Article 32 which bans flank whipping He finally responding by stating "RIB disagrees with the latest NZTR whip iteration" I asked numerous jockeys on line (mostly Australians) why they profess love of the horse while smacking the shit out of the highly sensitive unprotected flank, mostly with the non padded polymer section Brent 'The Babe' Thompson responded "jockeys should not be striking the flank" Meanwhile the 'money men; like Vlandys said "the whip doesn't hurt" That's the problem, when the 'money's up' money men don't give a shit about the 'love of the horse' And I believe you're one of those  
    • Which proves my point.  If you didn't notice then 99.9% of viewers don't either. Except @Thomass who trawls the Stewards Reports when he gets to work on Monday. I very much doubt the Stewards see it in real time either instead they rewind the HD Video for each race and watch in slow mo with a clicker counter and a protractor. No wonder they need 35 minutes between races.
    • Too Much Kiki (Too Much Bling) has been named Texas Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old filly for her on-track exploits in 2024. Owned by Landon Jordan's Mansfield Racing and trained by Bret Calhoun, gray filly won the first three starts of her campaign, each in stakes (non black-type) and was runner-up in black-type events at Sam Houston and Lone Star Park last spring. She concluded the season with a record of 3-2-1 from seven appearances and earnings of $178,479. Too Much Kiki was the $100,000 topper at the 2022 Texas Summer Yearling Sale while part of the draft of Highlander Training Center. Her dam, Soft Music (Action This Day), also produced Too Much Kiki's full-sister Bling On The Music, the champion Texas 2-year-old filly of 2016. Soft Music was named 2024 Broodmare of the Year and her owner, Daniele Durham, was crowned breeders of the year. The leading accredited Texas-bred money earner for 2024 was Equestris Ltd Inc (dba W.S. Farish). The other divisional champions are as follows: 2-year-old filly: Tapitures Actor (Tapiture) 2-year-old gelding: Ring Seeker (Too Much Bling) 3-year-old gelding: Victory for Vets (Tapiture) Older Female: Reclusive (Flat Out) Older Male: Singapore Flash (Shanghai Bobby) The post Too Much Kiki Named Texas Horse of the Year appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
