Yeah was quite a disappointment, to be fair never has been my favorite track, just think it's sad from a general public side of things, that they seem to be un cated for, especially at the 30$ entry on top, obviously their not targeting the general public, even a portable stand, just something for abit of elevation, really only see the last 100m live, that's just my opinion, first time I've been there for a few years, I definitely think I'll be sticking to the smaller country tracks, that actually have a grandstand for viewing and the action is close by. -
I think you missed my point. I'm not denying all those factors can and do make a difference to a horse's performance but, as a punter, how do you know the extent of the difference when assessing a horse's chance before a race? The answer is that you don't. -

G2 Sandy Lane Stakes winner El Caballo (GB) will stand for a fee of £5,000 next season, Culworth Grounds announced on Thursday. The son of Havana Gold (Ire) reportedly covered 100 mares when standing for £6,000 in his first season, including 25% black-type performers/producers. Culworth Grounds co-owner Sophie Buckley said, “We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of his first crop of foals. He was an outstanding two-year-old and proved tough, versatile and durable, winning six races in a row. At £5,000 he offers breeders exceptional value.” The post El Caballo to Stand for £5,000 in Second Season at Culworth Grounds appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Denise Martin didn’t need to be asked twice when Chris Waller called her about a potential yearling purchase out of New Zealand in early 2023. For starters, Waller and the Star Thoroughbreds managing director have formed a formidable combination on the track, teaming up with G1 winners Espiona, Foxplay and Invinciella. Incidentally, the filly in question was closely related to Star’s pin-up mare Invincibella and came highly recommended by Waller’s bloodstock consultant Guy Mulcaster. Lot 582 at the NZB Karaka Yearling Sale was a daughter of first-season sire Castelvecchio and out of the Star Witness mare Tremolie – a half-sister to Invincibella. Martin was sold on the idea before she’d opened the catalogue. On Saturday, the filly – now named Aeliana(NZ) (Castelvecchio) – will chase a G1 win at just her sixth start when she lines up as favourite in the Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield. For Martin, it’s a case of being rewarded for trusting her relationship with Waller and his faith Mulcaster. “Chris works with renowned yearling selector Guy Mulcaster and Chris phoned me to say that Guy had recommended this filly to the stable,” Martin said. “He said she was a close relation to Invincibella and I just said ‘yes please’. “Once I had a look at the catalogue and saw who she was, I was very keen to buy her. “She (Invincibella) was one of our great banner mares who did a great job for Star Thoroughbreds over several seasons. “Invincibella was quite a tall filly and developed throughout her three-year-old year and into the autumn as an imposing individual. “This filly wont eventually be that big but she certainly seems ot have a very similar motor. “I would say Aliana, although still a bit physically immature she seems to be able to handle the pressure mentally and she has progressed to this level at a quicker pace than what Invincibella did.” Invincibella won 12 races and more than $3 million in prizemoney for her connections, several of whom bought shares in Aeliana. The daughter of I Am Invincible broke her maiden as a spring three-year-old and was Stakes-placed twice in that campaign before really hitting her straps in her four-year-old season. Martin said she expected Aeliana to develop at a similar rate, given she is from the first crop of a 2000m G1 winner, although the filly is mentally more mature at the same stage of her career. Victory in the Saturday’s coveted three-year-old classic would be a quarter of a century in the making for Martin and Star Thoroughbreds. The syndicator’s original banner horse Danglissa started 13-4 favourite but was denied in a photo finish by Shizu in the 1999 Thousand Guineas and Martin has been keen to atone ever since. “On the day when Danglissa ran second, Gai and I landed at the airport in Melbourne and there’d been a really bad storm,” she said. “I remember Gai said to Chris Munce that it would probably be best to stay off the fence. “If I recall, it was Jim Cassidy who rode the winner and he hugged the fence and by the time Danglissa had balanced up and found the line, it was pretty close but she just missed. “It was the right call to want to stay off the fence because back then, the Thousand Guineas was still on the middle day of the three-day carnival so the track had already had plenty of use. “In the 32 years I’ve had my business I’ve never thought that a win was a fait accompli but there are a lot of reasons to think that Aeliana can go to Caulfield and run very well.” View the full article -

What Darwin Races Where Fannie Bay Racecourse – Dick Ward Dr, Fannie Bay NT 0820 When Saturday, November 16, 2024 First Race 2:46pm ACST Visit Dabble The Darwin Turf Club hosts a five-race meeting on Saturday with 40 horses accepting. The program features Heat 1 of the Lightning Wet Season Series with the $40,000 final scheduled for Australia Day. There has been no rain in the Top End since November 3, but the forecast for Saturday is for partly cloudy conditions and possible showers with a top temperature of 34C. The rail will be in the true position and Fannie Bay will be a good dirt surface. BEST BET AT DARWIN: MR HAVE A CHAT During the Darwin Cup Carnival, Mr Have A Chat was victorious over 1100m in 0-66 grade. The seven-year-old gelding then finished second at Katherine in August before returning to Fannie Bay for another two seconds in September and October. The son of I’m All The Talk finally saluted on October 19 when he sat off the pace before toppling Change Is Coming over 1200m at 0-70 level. The outside gate on Saturday is a minor hurdle, but Mr Have A Chat has the ability to overcome that and salute. Best Bet Race 4 – #4 Mr Have A Chat (6) 7yo Gelding | T: Chris Nash | J: Sonja Logan (59kg) Bet with Bet365 NEXT BEST AT DARWIN: DEBATING Debating was a last start second behind Tricky Mikki over 1100m in Class 2 division on Melbourne Cup Day. With Tricky Mikki well clear, Debating bridged the gap in the home straight and the pair went toe to toe before Phil Cole’s horse edged clear in the final stages. With two wins and five seconds from 10 starts in the NT, Reward For Effort’s four-year-old gelding appears to be getting back to his best form and Jarrod Todd in the saddle is a bonus. Next Best Race 5 – #1 Debating (6) 4yo Gelding | T: Ella Clarke | J: Jarrod Todd (60kg) Bet with Neds BEST VALUE AT DARWIN: ANKLE ROLEX In what shapes as an even contest, Ankle Rolex has produced respectable form since winning over 1300m against 0-58 opposition in August. The five-year-old gelding wasn’t far away during October over 1300m when finishing fourth and third. The son of Cable Bay was camped off the speed before lunging late over 1600m in 0-64 grade on November 5 to finish a close second behind A Big Chance. A repeat performance can see Ankle Rolex feature in the finish at an each-way quote with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 1 –#4 Ankle Rolex (2) 5yo Gelding | T: Patrick Johnston | J: Raymond Vigar (58.5kg) Bet with Unibet Darwin quaddie picks Fannie Bay quadrella selections Saturday, November 16, 2024 1-4-5 1-3-5-8-9 3-4 1-3-5 Horse racing tips View the full article
