The multiple Group winner and G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains runner-up Isaac Shelby (GB) has had his first mares scanned in foal, Newsells Park Stud announced on Tuesday. The dual winner Rio's Cliff (GB) (Canford Cliffs {Ire}) is among those confirmed to be carrying to Isaac Shelby, whose sire, Night Of Thunder (Ire), is responsible for the most-accomplished performer out of the mare to date in the Listed-placed Rex Of Thunder (GB). Another mare from Isaac Shelby's first book to have been scanned in foal is Asamosa (American Pharoah), a daughter of the GII Santa Ynez Stakes heroine Renee's Titan (Bernstein). Julian Dollar, general manager at Newsells Park Stud, said, “We're delighted that Isaac Shelby has got off to such a great start at stud, which is testament to his wonderful temperament. Isaac Shelby was hugely talented–even better than his sire at two and a proper Guineas horse, too–credentials which are proving popular with breeders.” The post First Mares Confirmed In Foal for Classic-Placed Isaac Shelby appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) and Racing New South Wales (Racing NSW) are thrilled to announce that the inaugural $3.5 million NZB Kiwi (1500m) slot race has officially become a ‘Golden Ticket’ race, granting the winner direct entry into Australia’s prestigious $10 million Golden Eagle (1500m) at Rosehill Gardens on 1 November 2025. This agreement between NZTR and Racing NSW marks a major step in enhancing the international appeal of the NZB Kiwi, set to debut on 8 March 2025, and serves as a key pathway to one of Australia’s richest races. The NZTR Board has agreed to fund the transport – both to and from Sydney – for the winner of the inaugural NZB Kiwi, should they choose to accept the ‘Golden Ticket’ offered by Racing NSW for the 2025 Golden Eagle in November. NZTR Chairman, Russell Warwick, was thrilled by the partnership, emphasising the significant benefits it brings to both jurisdictions. “The inclusion of the NZB Kiwi as a Golden Ticket race for the Golden Eagle marks an exciting milestone for New Zealand racing,” Warwick said. “This opportunity not only enhances prospects for our Kiwi horses, owners, and trainers but also strengthens the deep racing ties between New Zealand and Racing NSW. “This year’s NZB Kiwi will feature two runners from a jurisdiction that operates at the highest echelon of the global racing stage, and we are privileged to be part of it. “We are incredibly grateful to Peter V’landys and his team at Racing New South Wales for their support in making this a reality, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with them in the future,” he said. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Peter V’landys, Racing NSW has been instrumental in shaping some of the world’s most prestigious racing and sporting spectacles, including The Everest, which boasts an astonishing $20 million purse, and the $10 million Golden Eagle. With a prize pool of $4.5 million in stakes and bonuses, the NZB Kiwi now stands as the Southern Hemisphere’s richest three-year-old race, attracting Australasia’s top-class contenders who can now vie for their spot in the Golden Eagle during their four-year-old season. The inaugural slot race is set to take place at Ellerslie Racecourse on Barfoot & Thompson Champions Day, 8 March 2025. View the full article -
Good informative post, Galah. Personally do not think that bringing Entain into the NZ TAB for 25 years was the best fit for it. Entain are a gambling agency worldwide mainly sports and racing has never been its forte, and it is definitely showing isnt it? They keep throwing money into stakes where many of the meetings and mostly all of them in the North are losing money. Yes we know they promised all this money in-stakes etc. for 5 years. Now if they had any business acumen snd cared about racing in NZ they would push that 5 years out to say 7 years and reduce the current stakes supplementing by say $3or $4k and use this money saved for years 6 and 7. I do not believe they will do this as they are wanting the 5 years to come up sooner rather than later. Once the 5 years is up then highly doubt they will be boosting stakes, it just wouldn't make business sense to continue doing this for its shareholders! Does anyone else believe that the NZ TAB will be sold off at that stage, if it is not returning a good return on investment? -
the entain australia resignations reportedly had something to do with the australian authorities investigating entain over non compliance/money laundering. its been reported Entains australian board of senior management did not keep appropriate oversight of its anti money laundering programme,which interfered with its ability to identify money laundering exploitation of their betting sites". Apparantly the people who resigned are both going to get jobs in the nz thoroughbred racing industry. .a couple of months ago austrac(the australian money laudering investigative agency) issued a press release about their investigation into entain. In it they referenced crown being ordered by the federal court to pay $450 million in penalties over 2 years in 2023 and skycity being ordered to pay $63 million in penalties last year. crown was sold by packer to USA private equity giant blackstone. Not to be confused with blackrock,and has nothing to do with jason bournes blackbriar. I did like the bourne legacy movies. so entain may be in a bit of trouble if that press realease is anything to go by. I'm going to be doing my bit to help entain avoid prosecution in nz.. I've told the wife to wear sunglasses and a balaclava when deposting money into my account at the local tab,from now on. But seriously,does not sound too good for entain if they are putting those details in a press release about entain. Entain globally did report a net loss in 2023 of 936 million pounds after having to pay 585 million pounds to relating to some bribery in turkey. they did make 19 million the year before.... apparantly over the last 3 years entain shares have dropped 56%,but they went up 9% last month,based on the expectation 2024 went well,but was down 3 % this week. They are actually reporting there 2024 financial report in a couple of days. -
