For decades the show was funded by a % takeout around half of what it is today and it was going a lot better than what it is today. Don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work out that 130% markets are going to snuff the game out completely -
You obviously don’t know how BSP is calculated. You need to do some research.

Jimmysstar (NZ) (Per Incanto) would most likely still have launched his campaign in the Gr.1 William Reid Stakes (2000m) had it been at its home track, Moonee Valley, but the Ciaron Maher stable are not complaining about its home for this year. The A$1 million sprint will be run at Caulfield this Saturday with The Valley out of action while under renovation. Jimmysstar has had six starts at Caulfield for five wins, including the Gr.1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m) and Gr.1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m). The six-year-old has won two trials in preparation for his return and Maher’s assistant trainer Jack Turnbull is excited about unleashing him this weekend. “The William Reid is here at Caulfield, which is his favourite track,” Turnbull said. “He’s had a faultless prep and his trials are obviously there to be seen. “It would be nice to think he’s come back better – he doesn’t need to – but he tries, he’s very competitive and he’s clearly a very good horse.” The William Reid Stakes will be Jimmysstar’s first start since banking a third career Group One win in the Gr.1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) and while he has claims on recognition as Australia’s premier 1400m horse, Turnbull said 1200m at weight-for-age was the perfect fresh set-up. “He won the Oakleigh Plate here, but that was as a younger horse and he had no weight,” he said. “Now as a mature horse, effectively he is a ‘seven furlong’ (1400m) horse, but he’s so brilliant and fresh over six (furlongs) he can really rip.” Jimmysstar is one of 15 entries for the William Reid Stakes and two for Maher, who will also be represented by Benedetta (Hellbent). The Maher pair are among 10 Group One winners entered for the William Reid Stakes. -RAS NewsWire View the full article -

Brad Widdup has two riders on standby to partner Jedibeel (NZ) (Savabeel) in this Saturday’s Gr.1 The Galaxy (1100m) depending on what weight the sprinter is allotted. Handicaps for the 1100 metre feature at Rosehill will be released on Tuesday and once Widdup knows what impost Jedibeel will carry, he will lock in a jockey. “Depending on the weight, we’ve got Tommy (Berry) booked, or Alysha (Collett), so we’ve got two bites at the cherry there with jockeys,” Widdup said. “Hopefully he can draw a gate, and we’ll go from there.” Jedibeel is among 25 entries for the A$1 million The Galaxy with star grey Briasa (Smart Missile), Gr.2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) winner Generosity (Divine Prophet), Beadman (Snitzel) and Grafterburners (Graff) among his potential rivals. Jedibeel tackles The Galaxy second-up after finishing fourth from a wide draw in the Gr.1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m) at Caulfield on February 21. He was also among nominations for Saturday’s Gr.3 Maurice McCarten Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill, but Widdup opted to keep his powder dry and steer towards the major. “I ‘ummed and ahhed’ about running (in the Maurice McCarten), but I thought, we’re going to get into the Galaxy with an OK weight,” he said. “I had a good think about it, and we don’t have to run him all the time. We just have to pick the right races.” Jedibeel finished ninth to Private Harry (Harry Angel) in The Galaxy 12 months ago when he drew an outside gate and got back in a leader dominated race. His best result since then has been a photo finish second behind Libertad (Russian Revolution) in the Gr.2 Victory Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm in May, but he is an eight-time winner and is proven over the Rosehill 1100-metre circuit. Jedibeel was bred by Waikato Stud and is out of their unraced O’Reilly mare Starry, they offered Jedibeel during the National Weanling Sale on Gavelhouse Plus in 2020, where he was bought for $35,000 by Dengaroka Lodge in New South Wales. Jedibeel was later purchased by Widdup as a yearling for $190,000 at the Sydney Classic Sale after fielding a phone call from Sydney businessman Mike Gregg. Gregg races Jedibeel in the bumble bee colours of his Sydney University of NSW cricket club, along with his grandson Locky Sheridan. -RAS Newswire View the full article -

James McDonald once again takes Australian racing’s centre stage at Rosehill on Saturday with the world’s No. 1 rider seemingly destined to establishing a new record for career Group One winners. If McDonald can claim two Group One wins from the five on the Rosehill program this Saturday, he will not only overtake Damien Oliver as the most successful Group One rider in Australian racing history, he will also register his 100th Group One win in Australia. Currently, McDonald has 98 Australian Group One wins, 16 in Hong Kong, 11 in New Zealand and one each in Japan, the UK and the UAE. Group One wins are hard to come by (certainly for most jockeys) but McDonald looks set for at least one such victory this Saturday as he rides the unbeaten Gr.1 George Ryder Stakes’ (1500m) $1.24 favourite Autumn Glow (The Autumn Sun). Also destined to start at a short quote is his Gr.1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) mount Aeliana (NZ) (Castelvecchio), who is currently rated a $1.80 chance of scoring her first G1 weight-for-age win. J-MAC’S GROUP ONE RIDES AT ROSEHILL THIS SATURDAY Gr.1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) – AUTUMN GLOW ($1.24 fav) Gr.1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) – AELIANA ($1.80 fav) Gr.1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) – AUTUMN BOY (The Autumn Sun) ($3) Gr.1 Galaxy (1100m) – GENEROSITY (Divine Prophet) ($7) Gr.1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) – No firm booking. Likely to be one of Chris Waller’s trio of Campione D’Italia (Snitzel), Fireball (Snitzel) or Hidrix (Extreme Choice). McDonald moved to 126 wins earlier this month with a Group One double of Autumn Glow in the Gr.1 Verry Elleegant Stakes (1600m) before 24 hours later claiming another Hong Kong feature aboard Romantic Warrior (Gr.1 Hong Kong Gold Cup (2000m)). He then won the Gr.1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m) aboard Joliestar (Zoustar) before claiming yet another Group One aboard Lazzura (Snitzel) in last Saturday’s Gr.1 Coolmore Classic (1500m). Over the past two Saturdays, he has ridden an extraordinary 10 winners in Sydney. Following his win on Lazurra, McDonald told Channel 7 that the prospect of the record was not weighing on his mind. “It hasn’t really come into my calculations,” he said. “If I get there, I get there. “It’s a funny feeling as Ollie (Oliver) is so great and I don’t feel like I should be in that echelon just yet.” Oliver, however, told Racing.com’s The Verdict program on Sunday that the speed at which McDonald has chased down his record underlines his greatness. “To get that record at 34 – I was 51 I think when I did it – so it just shows you how quickly he’s done it,” Oliver said. “I am sure it’s in the back of his mind but if you start thinking about that you are not actually thinking about what is in front of you and that is winning these big races. “When I was doing it, it was not something I was setting out after either. You just want to be competing in those big races and winning those big races and that’s more what you are concentrating on what’s right ahead of you rather than what’s going to be the end result.” View the full article
