This is Nelli's post from the other channel - some good points made. "The launch of NextGen today demonstrates yet again more half-baked ideas even though the intentions are admirable. 1) I can see the rationale of restricting the scheme to sale horses, since NZB Standardbreds are major sponsors, but why restrict it to progeny of stallions in their 1st 3 seasons in NZ? For example, if you are after a trotter, this restricts you to a choice of just 22 horses with half by expensive stallions (a big windfall for the sellers). 2) Why the G1 restriction on the trainers when I think what they intend is to promote young trainers. This means 21 year old Zev Meredith in his first year of training is ruled out (Tom Bamford also) but very successful 80+ year old Luk Chin is eligible (not that he ever needs to buy a yearling with his great breed). 3) The alternative option is having a partnership of at least 4 owners with 30+% of the people under 40 years old and who have never owned a horse before. This of course is easily achieved by adding a couple of grandchildren on the ownership papers. A nice thing to do but will it mean more owners racing more horses in the future?" -

Shamrock Farm near Woodbine in Carroll County has been selected as the home of Maryland's new Thoroughbred training center, the Maryland Thoroughbred Racetrack Operating Authority announced Monday. Designed to accommodate more than 800 horses with room for future expansion, the new facility is located just 20 miles from Pimlico Race Course. “Our goal is to design and build one of the great equine training centers in the world,” said Gregory A. Cross, chairman of the MTROA. “A rigorous examination of many locations in the region showed that this site provides the best combination of size, cost and construction approval process. The collaborative decision to build at Shamrock Farm included input from Maryland's horsemen and other key stakeholders. This project truly continues the path for our racing industry to thrive.” Alan Foreman, general counsel to the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association and a member of the MTROA board, added, “The selection of Shamrock Farm as the year-round training center marks a pivotal step forward for Maryland's racing community as part of the Pimlico Plus Plan. Located in the heart of Carroll County, Shamrock Farm provides horsemen with a convenient and accessible training facility, close to many of their current operations. This proximity will ease travel burdens and ensure trainers, horses, and their teams have the resources they need to thrive. Paired with the revitalization of Pimlico, this decision demonstrates our commitment to collaborating with the state of Maryland to strengthen the infrastructure and sustainability of our historic racing industry.” The Carroll County facility is expected to contain a one-mile dirt oval built with the same material and layout as the Pimlico track, which will become the primary home of Maryland Thoroughbred racing once reconstruction of the track is finished. The facility will have at least 800 stalls, with housing, kitchen areas and a recreation center for stable-area workers. Shamrock Farm had been under final consideration for acquisition for more than a year, after a consultant retained by the Authority, Populous, ranked it highest on a scoring mechanism that evaluated criteria including location, natural resources, topography, transportation and access, utility infrastructure, jurisdictional approvals, size, and cost of acquisition and development. Populous is also the architectural firm retained by the Maryland Stadium Authority for the project. The Authority will use the Laurel Park racing complex as a transition facility while Pimlico and the training facility are constructed, after which all racing at Laurel Park will end and the property will be redeveloped.

The Dubai Racing Club has announced a new partnership with Churchill Downs which will see the Louisville-based operation sponsor the AED300,000 ($81,660) UAE 2000 Guineas Trial (allowance) to be held Friday, Jan. 3, 2025, at Meydan Racecourse. The 2024 renewal was won by the Michael Costa-trained Ma Yetal (Flameaway). Commenting on the partnership, Erwan Charpy, Manager, Racing Operations & International Relations for Dubai Racing Club, said: “We are constantly inspired by our leaders to set the bar higher and in working with international partners such as Churchill Downs, we are enhancing racing's profile on the global stage. “We are fortunate that, thanks to the UAE Derby's inclusion on the Road to the Kentucky Derby, we already enjoy a strong relationship with Churchill Downs and this is the next step. “It was fantastic to see G2 UAE Derby winner Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) run so brilliantly to finish third in the 'Run for the Roses' this year and we hope to one day see a horse win both races.” Gary Palmisano, VP of Racing for Churchill Downs Incorporated, added: “Churchill Downs is thrilled to further strengthen our partnership with the Dubai Racing Club through the Kentucky Derby's sponsorship of this prestigious race. “We hope to see the UAE 2000 Guineas Trial winner competing in the [G2] UAE Derby and ultimately earning a spot in the starting gate of the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby next May.” The UAE Derby offers the winner 100 points on the Road to the Derby. The G3 UAE Oaks, run in February, is a 50-point race for the GI Kentucky Oaks which is staged at Churchill Downs on the first Friday in May. In recent years two winners of the Meydan race, 'TDN Rising Star' Shahama (Munnings) and Mimi Kakushi (City of Light), have gone on to run with credit in the Kentucky Oaks.
