Well, my understanding of wagering processes is limited. However with the potential for challenges to the current situation - the online gaming markets, cessation of dog racing and its contribution, shenanigans wrt Entains financial dealings ( which the Chief considers small change in the bigger picture, he may well be right ) and the ending of the 5 year lolly scramble we are enjoying atm - how can we not be very alarmed? Where are the changes in the pipeline to address our future? Is Ballesty (sp) likely to leap into racing structures and programmes, dates, etc? Or will he be ( as Huey thinks) as clueless as his predecessors? Tracks are not improving, riders are bad, its hard to find a kiwi-born apprentice. The new protocols for track riders are awful and so far have produced nothing but the potential for youngsters to get hurt...I can go on but I'll get depressed. -
I suppose the answer is the horse above...at a trial or something...I'll ask him shortly!

Amid the fluid nature of the threatened 25% blanket tariff on all Canadian goods entering the U.S. set to be enacted on Apr. 2, one confusing aspect has surrounded a possible 30-day “Temporary Entry” permit, beyond which tariffs might apply. Tom Rooney, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), elaborated Friday on his understanding that if a horse resides in the United States for less than a year, then the tariff wouldn't apply, as per the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. “We believe that horses from Canada can enter the United States for extended periods without paying duties under certain conditions,” wrote Rooney, who has been working with Canadian officials to rectify the discrepancy. Horses from Canada can enter the U.S. temporarily without paying tariffs under two main scenarios, wrote Rooney. The first is a one-year temporary entry, tariff-free scenario in which: Horses may be admitted under bond for exportation within one year from the date of importation; This period may be extended, upon application, for one or more further periods which, when added to the initial one year, shall not exceed a total of three years; For stays longer than 30 days, horses will need an official health certificate of physical examination performed within 30 days of travel, endorsed by a Canadian government veterinarian, and a negative equine infectious anemia (EIA) test drawn within 180 days prior to export. The second is a 30-day temporary entry scenario (already in place) in which: Horses can be imported from Canada for up to 30 days without requiring a USDA veterinary port inspection or formal entry with U.S. Customs; This is the standard temporary entry period for horses from Canada; Horses must have an official Veterinary Health Certificate endorsed by a Canadian government veterinarian and a negative equine infectious anemia test. Rooney explained Friday that, under this scenario, it is currently unclear how the bond system works and is calculated, and how the bond is returned to the owner. Rooney explained that he is working closely with the office of Kentucky Congressman Andy Barr to request a waiver on Canadian horses sent for sale in the U.S. Rooney also warned that his understanding of the tariff's mechanics could change at any moment “given that live horses are mentioned in the list of potentially affected goods.” That's if the tariffs are enacted at all. “This could very well change at any moment given whatever the will of the president is,” Rooney said earlier in the week. “If it really is just to get people to the negotiation table to negotiate something, maybe we'll never see this.” As currently outlined, the blanket tariffs are scheduled to go into effect on Apr. 2. In response to the blanket tariffs, the Canadian government has threatened reciprocal tariffs against approximately $30 billion worth of imported goods into Canada. While the initial round of retaliatory tariffs did not apply to purebred breeding and racehorses, future ones may well mirror those imposed by the U.S., the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (CTHS) has warned. On Wednesday, the California Thoroughbred Horse Society (CTHS) issued their own advisory on the impending tariffs.

The Dullingham Park stallions Shaquille (GB) and Soldier's Call (GB) have been bought by Yulong Investments from Steve Parkin's Clipper Logistics and will remain in situ in Newmarket. Yulong Investments' European representative Paul Curran said, “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Shaquille and Soldier's Call into the Yulong fold. Yulong Investments is deeply passionate about breeding elite racehorses and spares no effort in ensuring its stallions are positioned for greatness. These two exceptional sires will be supported by an elite broodmare band, giving them every opportunity to succeed and leave an enduring mark on future bloodlines. This is not just about adding stallions to our roster; it is about securing a legacy—one that will be felt for generations.” TDN asked if Yulong had also purchased Dullingham Park Stud itself but Curran declined to comment. Referring to the “outstanding stewardship” of Clipper Logistics in launching the careers of the two stallions, a statement from Yulong, which also owns Lucky Vega (Ire), who has his first runners this season, emphasised the company's eagerness to “build upon this strong foundation”. Curran added, “This move underscores Yulong's long-term ambition to be at the forefront of the global breeding industry. With strategic planning and a commitment to excellence, we are confident these stallions will leave a lasting legacy.” The dual Group 1-winning sprinter Shaquille has first foals on the ground this spring. In Ireland, Steve Parkin currently stands Space Traveller (GB) at Starfield Stud and is involved in the partnership which stands Sands Of Mali (Fr) at Ballyhane Stud.

By Michael Guerin On a night when getting back in the field was disastrous at Alexandra Park, young driver Carter Dalgety found the best way to overcome it. He simply decided to let his equine girlfriend Beside Me prove she was the best filly in Friday night’s Caduceus Club Ladyship Stakes and the results were dazzling. The big girl had made quite an impression in the south but fresh up at Alexandra Park can be very testing at Group level, even more so when you are well back with 1400m to go. Beside Me was, and then she wasn’t. Dalgety pulled her out to improve in the straight with a lap to go and she exploded, racing from near last to first in the space of 300m and then roaring clear. It was graphic stuff from a filly who is looking absolute top class every time she goes to the races. She has now won four from five. “When I pulled her out I think she thought it was the home straight so she took off,” says Dalgety. “But she is so strong she can get away with it. “She is my girlfriend and she is big and strong but such a lovely pacer with it.” The rivals she beat up on on Friday night can at least rest knowing she won’t be there to pick on them again in the Harness Million next Friday as she is ineligible. That leaves another impressive Friday night winner in Stella Rouge as favourite for that race and on a collision course with Beside Me in the Northern Oaks next month which will be something to get to The Park for. What both fillies, and most of the other big race winners on Friday, had in common is they were handy or leading over the last lap but punters paid a a hefty price for those who weren’t. Rubira led and held on in the Alabar Classic in which hot favourite Marketplace went back at the start and never moved, looking electric over the last 200m but by then the race was over. In the Lincoln Farms Founders Cup it was the same thing, Jolimont going forward and controlling the speed well enough to get home, his even sectionals of 54.8 and 27.4 seconds meaning those back in the field never had a chance. Auckland Cup winner Republican Party ran on well. And in the main trot Oscar Bonavena, also backed as if unbeatable, wasn’t. He got disconected from the back of Kyvalley Hotspur early but caught him up well enough but never really looked likely to run past him. Horses starting off 30m handicaps in this grade are often vulnerable and Oscar’s defeat doesn’t take away from the wonderful job Bernie Hacktt and Michelle Wallis are doing with the winner. “I wanted to make the move mid-race to get him parked as he feels big and strong out there but I wasn’t expecting to get trapped three wide,” smiled winning driver Crystal Hackett. “But I wanted to win a really nice race for Mum and Dad, it is one of my goals to start the season.” View the full article
