Punt on this woud be that the funds come from the one off $100m Entain pays the TAB for the geo-fence legislation $20 mil goes to sport up to $40 mil goes to re-homing The rest $40 mil gets shared between the TAB and the 2 equine codes. Therefore Project Stamina launched. Have the two codes ever held hands? -

40 million over 3 years for 1500 greyhounds. That works out over $26,600 per greyhound or nearly $9000 a year per dog assuming every dog hasn't found a home by then. -

Budding junior driver Kate Coppins heads to Cambridge Raceway tonight with a strong book of four drives, and plenty of reasons to be optimistic. She kicks off her night in Race 1, the Christmas At The Raceway Tickets On Sale Now Handicap Trot (5:41p.m.) aboard President Flynntin. The pair have been in a rich vein of form lately, booking a cheque in all their last four starts. This season has been the geldings most successful yet, amassing two wins and a further seven placings, all of which with Coppins in the bike. His last start at Cambridge Raceway showed plenty of promise and Kate is confident that he has found another field that he is capable of capitalising on tonight. “With the field he found himself in last start we expected him to run a place,” Kate said. “But in saying that it’s probably the best run he’s had. He ran a personal best last quarter that day, so I’d say he’s a good chance to make up his 10m handicap tonight and if he can get a nice enough run, he’ll definitely be there in the finish.” In Race 3, the Garrards Horse And Hound Mobile Pace (6:32 p.m.) Coppins jumps aboard Brookside Girl for David Butcher. The Downbytheseaside mare finds a step down in grade after some solid efforts at Alexandra Park and looks well-placed against tonight’s opposition. “Her last few starts at Auckland have been quite good,” Kate said. “With that form and the downgrade in the field she’s racing tonight I’d say she’s a pretty big chance. It will be up to David as to what we do, if anything we’d be looking to sit back and make a mid-race move.” For her third drive Coppins teams up with her employer Arna Donnelly aboard Joes Rock in Race 5, the Dunstan Horsefeeds Mobile Pace at (7:29 p.m.) Back from a brief freshen-up, the mare has a solid record at Cambridge, with four placings from six starts at the track. “It’s her first start back from a spell, she’s a bit of a one-trick pony so I’ll be saving her for the run home,” Kate explained. “Hopefully we’ll find some cover and get a bit of luck in the running. I don’t get behind her often in trackwork but the few times I have this preparation she’s found the line really well. She’s as happy as ever.” Coppins rounds out her night in Race 6, the TFS Horse Transport Mobile Pace (7:54 p.m.) with Baileys Pitch, also for Donnelly. The Bettor’s Delight gelding ran better than his fresh-up performance suggests, and Kate is hopeful that with a bit more luck, they can turn things around tonight. “I didn’t do him many favours with my drive on him last start,” she admitted. “I’d like to have put him in a handier position off the gate. He still found the line really well despite the run that he got so if we can get handy early tonight, he’ll make his presence known at the finish.” And when it comes to her best chance of the night? “President Flynntin, he’s always my pick of the litter,” she laughed “He’s a good boy.” View the full article -

Capable race mare Sea Eagle (NZ) left the best until last during her brief breeding career. The daughter of Group One winner Don Eduardo’s final foal is the promising Eagle Rock (NZ) (Eagle Rock), who will attempt to add to his record in the Property Brokers Taumarunui 3YO (1400m) at Te Rapa on Saturday. The El Roca gelding is prepared by part-owner and breeder Kylie Little who trained Sea Eagle to win on six occasions, including two editions of the Parliamentary Handicap (2200m) at Trentham. Of her two previous live foals, Eagle Rock’s older sister Golden Eagle (NZ) (El Roca) won once, while another sibling Belle Fille (NZ) (El Roca) was unraced. “She was a good mare and taught me a lot. She’s been retired, he’s the last foal which may have been a bit premature, but she raced until a later age (eight),” Little said. “He (Eagle Rock) is probably a bit more relaxed than her, and she was quite a short-coupled little brown thing whereas he’s more classic looking with a bit of length about him.” Eagle Rock finished runner-up in his first two starts at Pukekohe and Wanganui before he broke his maiden last time out over a mile at Te Rapa at the end of May. “He’s still got to learn the game, he’s not a racehorse yet but he’s getting there,” Little said. “He trialled up nicely at Te Awamutu and has done well since. “The distance could be a little bit short, he’s a really nice stayer in the making but at a young age he’s probably still sharp enough to go a nice 1400m.” Safely through the weekend, Eagle Rock may make another trip to the Central Districts for a special conditions maiden over 1800m. “All going well, he’ll go to New Plymouth and depending on that we’ll see whether we give him one more over ground,” Little said. “We’ll put him aside then and bring him back, there’ll be plenty left in the tank for the autumn. “In time, I think he’s going to be a really nice type of cups’ horse.” Lynsey Satherley has been booked to ride Eagle Rock while Bridget Grylls will be aboard stablemate Irrigate (NZ) (Ocean Park) in The Callinan Family Taumarunui Gold Cup (2200m). The Ocean Park mare posted consecutive minor placings before an under-par effort at Te Rapa earlier this month. “She threw a spanner in the works and before that she was going on all cylinders,” Little said. “It was just one of those days, so we’ll just put in behind us and move on. I think with the track improving it will suit her a lot better on Saturday.” View the full article -

The short-priced favourite for the upcoming Racecourse Hotel and Motor Lodge 150th Grand National Steeplechase (5600m), Jesko (NZ) (Atlante), will step out on the flat at Waverley on Friday as he readies for his biggest test yet in a fortnight. The son of Atlante commenced his current campaign at Waverley in April, and in the hands of his co-trainer Shaun Fannin downed his Rating 65 rivals over 2200m. That trend continued when he stepped out over fences, winning a restricted open steeplechase at Wanganui and claiming feature crowns in the Manawatu Steeplechase (4000m) and Wellington Steeplechase (4900m). Fannin, who trains Jesko in partnership with his wife Hazel, will hand over the reins for the first time this preparation when Chris Dell guides the gelding’s fortunes in the EquivetsNZ (2200m). “It’s definitely more of a fitness run before Riccarton, we wanted to give him a hit out on the grass and this looked like a nice option,” Fannin said. “He’s raced well at Waverley previously and has had a couple of wins there on the flat. “He galloped well on the course proper at Awapuni yesterday (Tuesday) and went pretty well, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he ran a cheeky race on Friday. “It’ll be very beneficial to be able to get a race into him before we go down south.” Hazel will accompany Jesko to Christchurch early next week, with the Racecourse Hotel and Motor Lodge Koral Steeplechase (4250m) as his first assignment on Saturday, August 2. “He’ll race on Friday, then will head down to Riccarton on Tuesday,” Fannin said. “He’ll run in the Koral before the National, that’s the plan. “He’s done a fair bit of jumping so he doesn’t need too much in between, but he did have a school last Thursday, more so because of the lack of grass tracks to gallop on. It was a good way of getting some fitness into him. “Hazel is going down with him for the first week, so I’ll probably ask her to pop him over a couple of jumps down there on the day before the Koral. He’s done a fair bit of jumping so hopefully he remembers what he’s doing when he gets out there.” At the Waverley meeting, the stable will also be represented by Sweet Ada (NZ) (Adelaide), a consistent mare searching for an elusive maiden success in the Chris Hays Livestock (2200m). “She’s been going consistent races and she meets a similar field to what she’s been coming up against,” Fannin said. “She’s done well since Woodville, so I can’t see any reason why she shouldn’t be a good top-three chance again.
