    • I think you'll find that @Special Agent has done more service to club committees than most.
    • Far Above has been acquired by Renew Italian Breeding and will stand in Italy next year. A stud and fee will be announced in due course for the current Starfield Stud resident. A listed winner in France and successful in the G3 Palace House Stakes, the 105,000gns Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up graduate was rated 122 by Timeform. At stud, the son of Farhh is credited with two stakes winners, Kabir and Nigrum Regina. Both are also placed at group level, and his Sternle was third in the Listed Criterium du Bequet. His oldest foals are three-year-olds.

    • How is paying some of the Best horse people in the WORLD a waste or drain of funds.?  surely it's the OPPOSITE. They're paying them more than the South Island because they're Worth It.  The Leading Stables of NEW ZEALAND even see the advantage in racing their and Telfer's and Dunn's compete so regularly at Auckland and Waikato , they're practically North Islanders as well. Close em' down ya reckon ?  Yes I mentioned a Lot of OLD BLOKES like Barry, and TonyH and Maurice and David Butcher and Bernie Hackett  who were all competing there when I was, over 40 years ago. and winning then. And still Winning Now.  but their kids like the young Butchers, young Orange, Crystal, Ranger, white and others are coming through to take up the retirements. Maybe Dr Chin should chuck it in shortly though ? 🤣👍 You want to show them ALL the door ?? because you can't bet on them ?? and HRNZ pays them instead of some battlers in the South .  Instead of sinking the Boot into ONE of THE GREAT THINGS OF NEW ZEALAND. The World Class Trotting at Alexandra Park that has Happened for over a Century.  you should get behind it . Be a Benefactor ? you got spare cash , save the day and feel good and do something great with your final years. Race a horse in the North and knock that QLD old mate Dean Shannon off the perch lol 😅 (who has tried to help out there each year)    Wolfie and Roy would turn in their graves with the Support the Trotting gets these days on Forums .  Thank Goodness HRNZ is still doing a great job and putting races on for everybody. A great mob who knows what they're doing thankfully. with so many feature races through the year it embarasses what Australia can do. 💰
    • Saturday, Newmarket, Britain, post time: 13:07, EUROPEAN BLOODSTOCK NEWS EBF MONTROSE FILLIES' STAKES-Listed, £40,000, 2yo, f, 8f 0y Field: Aspiral (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), Brigid's Well (Ire) (Ulysses {Ire}), Classic Cuvee (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Just A Girl (GB) (Bobby's Kitten), Morning Rose (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Ourbren (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Pintara (Ire) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Previous (GB) (Havana Gold {Ire}), Sacred Ground (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Wetsand (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}). TDN Analysis: Three undefeated fillies take centre stage with the once-raced winners Sacred Ground, Morning Rose and Pintara all set to feature prominently in the betting market. Others worthy of consideration are the dual winners Previous and Aspiral, while Listed Radley Stakes third Ourbren, G3 Oh So Sharp Stakes eighth Classic Cuvee and G3 Prix Six Perfections seventh Wetsand are the only contenders with prior black-type experience. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Tokyo, Japan, post time: 15:40, TENNO SHO (AUTUMN)-G1, ¥574,260,000, 3yo/up, 2000mT Field: Cosmo Kuranda (Jpn) (Al Ain {Jpn}), Urban Chic (Jpn) (Suave Richard {Jpn}), Justin Palace (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), Sol Oriens (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Tastiera (Jpn) (Satono Crown {Jpn}), Brede Weg (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Masquerade Ball (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}), Ho O Biscuits (Jpn) (Mind Your Biscuits), Museum Mile (Jpn) (Leontes {Jpn}), Ecoro Walz (Jpn) (Black Tide {Jpn}), Shirankedo (Jpn) (Declaration Of War), Seiun Hades (Jpn) (Silver State {Jpn}), Meisho Tabaru (Jpn) (Gold Ship {Jpn}), Queen's Walk (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}). Sunday, Curragh, Ireland, post time: 14:30, COMER GROUP INTERNATIONAL LOUGHBROWN STAKES-G3, £36,000, 3yo/up, 16f 71y Field: Bottler'secret (Ire) (Dragon Pulse {Ire}), Chally Chute (Ire) (Fast Company {Ire}), Duraji (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), The Shunter (Ire) (Stowaway {GB}), Uxmal (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Enfranchise (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Vischio (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), Bonnie Moon (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), Island Hopping (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Two For Joy (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). TDN Analysis: Last term's G2 Queen Alexandra winner Uxmal and this year's Listed Lenebane Stakes victor and Irish Cesarewitch Handicap runner-up Chally Chute are the pick of the older brigade in this marathon. The sophomore generation is represented by G1 Irish Oaks third Island Hopping, one of two from the Aidan O'Brien yard, and September's Listed Oyster Stakes second Bonnie Moon, who ran fourth in the Listed Bluebell Stakes three weeks ago. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Cologne, Germany, post time: 14:35, SILBERNES PFERD-G3, €55,000, 3yo/up, 15fT Field: Lordano (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Waldadler (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Partnun (Ger) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}), Alpina Express (Ire) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Coco Royale (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Tanami Starlet (GB) (Best Solution {Ire}), Elano (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Gestut Ittlingen's Group 1-placed Lordano won this in 2023 and, having annexed June's G2 Badischen Wirtschaft, lines up off thirds in the G3 Deutsches St Leger and G3 Herbst Trophy. August's Listed Hoppegartener Steherpreis victor Waldadler was not disgraced when a 100-1 fourth to Al Riffa in the G1 St Leger and rates a serious threat. Of the remainder, Partnun was a head too good for Alpina Express in last month's Listed Silbernes Band der Ruhr, with both possessing solid place claims. Ittlingen's second string Elano is the lone sophomore in the field. [Sean Cronin].

TDN Analysis: Kentucky-bred Karama Al Leith was highly tried on debut, running third in Milan's Listed Premio Eupili three weeks ago, and is the only one of seven contenders with black type. Dangers include G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere seventh Cielo Di Roma and G3 Oh So Sharp seventh Tavana. Hisaaki Saito's Real News accounted for Sagarmatha when the pair met at Chantilly last month, while Kozlovskha also boasts winning form. [Sean Cronin]. Click here for the complete fields.

    • Bryson Butterfly, who was an up-and-coming teenage apprentice jockey in Maryland when he was arrested two years ago on first-degree murder charges for his part in a staged robbery that went wrong and killed a 17-year-old high-school student, was sentenced to 20 years in prison Thursday by a Baltimore County Circuit Court judge. Butterfly, now 20, started riding horses as a toddler while growing up on a Native American Indian reservation in rural Washington. He had graduated from Pacific Northwest bush-track horsebacking to being a $2-million winning apprentice based primarily in the mid-Atlantic region through 771 races spanning 2021 through 2023. According to Sapna Bansil of the Baltimore Banner, Butterfly, in a deal bargained with prosecutors, had pleaded guilty last year to a lesser misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit armed robbery. He testified against one other conspirator and the triggerman, who were both sentenced to life in prison with, respectively, all but 50 and 40 years suspended. Butterfly was known on the backstretch as a quick-to-learn apprentice with a big smile and braces that made him look even younger than he was when he moved cross-country at age 16 to fulfill a childhood dream of being a professional jockey. Butterfly came from a family of accomplished horse riders. His mom, Amy Nelson, had a brief 12-mount career as a jockey in western Canada in 2000. She later trained in Arizona, and had four starters at last winter's Turf Paradise meet. The Banner reported that Butterfly, wearing an orange jumpsuit and with his hands shackled in front of him, cried as he briefly addressed the court Oct. 30, while Nelson watched from the gallery. The Banner reported that Butterfly told the court he participated in the crime because he was young and trying to fit in his with his friends. “I'm so, so sorry,” the Banner quoted him as saying. “Words can't explain.” The judge told Butterfly that she believed Butterfly's contrition was sincere, the Banner reported, but added that death is a foreseeable consequence of an armed robbery, and that Butterfly should be held accountable for putting the victim in harm's way. The Banner reported that Butterfly's role in the murder was to lure a teenager he knew to a shopping center for a marijuana buy, knowing two accomplices would be there to ambush and rob them. The Banner reported that Butterfly fled while the victim fought back, and that one of the conspirators shot the teenager in the chest with a pistol.
