    • you surely are a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious word man Ranga.  personally I think Mark Jones is unappreciative of all the Many great Meetings and feature races that are run all through the year in New Zealand. It is staggeringly good . comparable to the excellent race planning and administration and co-ordination Australian thoroughbred racing have done for decades. USA and Australia harness racing  just run routine , stock standard , bread and butter races most of the year with very few Carnivals and quite boring mile racing ( the boring mile told to me by Brodster) However the COnstellations Carnival has arrived for Brissie next week , and will Include the INTERDOMINION (for next 3 years) , to get some fine kiwi horsemen here , and we have one Month of Bliss . Big Races for one month. MARK JONES seemingly not knowing, just how LUCKY he really is to have such a great years program of racing in NZ , spread out through the whole year to keep us enthusiasts Very happy.  get with the program Mark lol. 😉    
    • Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Saturday's Observations features a son of Newspaperofrecord. 1.15 Curragh, Mdn, €20,000, 2yo, c/g, 7fT BENVENUTO CELLINI (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is the second foal out of the accomplished Newspaperofrecord (Lope De Vega) after the Listed Lingfield Oaks Trial winner Giselle also by Frankel. Not Ryan Moore's choice in this Barronstown Stud Irish EBF Maiden won by countless top-class colts including City Of Troy, Coolmore and White Birch Farm's homebred is joined by the once-raced first-string Dorset (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), a relative of Winter, and another newcomer New Zealand (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), a son of the G3 Albany Stakes winner and dual Group 1-placed Different League (Dabirsim).   3.40 York, Novice, £25,000, 2yo, 7fT HANKELOW (IRE) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) debuts for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum in a potentially hot affair, with the 750,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase in deep against some experienced peers. A half-brother to the Listed scorer Epic Poet (Lope De Vega), the Karl Burke trainee is from the family of the high-class Perfect Power and last week's G2 Norfolk Stakes runner-up Wise Approach.

    • Edited Press Release  The Emerald Downs' racing community is mourning the loss of longtime trainer Bonnie Jenne, who succumbed to lymphoma Thursday at age 76. A mainstay since the track's opening in 1996, Jenne saddled 247 winners at Emerald Downs, including 15 stakes victories and over $2.9 million in earnings. “Today is a very sad day in the Washington Thoroughbred community,” said Emerald Downs Director of Publicity Joe Withee. “Bonnie Jenne has been part of every Longacres, Yakima Meadows, and Emerald Downs race meeting since the late 1960s as a highly respected horsewoman. Bonnie usually took the winters off and came back every year to Barn 10 with her hard work and mischievous smile and laugh.” Under Jenne's care, Ladyledue won six stakes and honors as track and state champion filly of 2008, and track and state champion 3-year-old filly of 2009. Other top runners for her included Couldabenthewhisky, Mr. Makah, Naab the Win, Colony Lane, Makah Lane, and Itsallabouttheride. Jenne's final stakes victories were in 2024 with He's Not Talking in the Washington Cup Juvenile Colt & Gelding and Dynamic Secret in the Emerald Derby. Sporting the familiar yellow and green silks that date back to the 1960s, Dynamic Secret romped by 2 3/4 lengths and subsequently took honors as Emerald Downs' champion 3-year-old colt or gelding. Born Dec. 30, 1948, Bonnie Jenne grew up in a house across the street from Yakima Meadows, where her father Ed Lewis won training titles in 1977 and 1978. Bonnie's beloved husband, Wally, a former track superintendent, preceded her in death in 2020.
