    • Central trainers also forewarned the lack of a sustainable funding model for the Awapuni synthetic.  Most CD trainers did not want the track installed.  However, it looks a mandate for Awapuni trainers to support the polytrack now as they rent facilities from RACE. As for a substantial increase of horses trained at Awapuni, despite the inflated numbers on the application to the Provincial Growth Fund, it was never going to happen.  There are no longer studs of any significance in Manawatu, and leading jockeys and trainers are domiciled elsewhere.  Growth must be close to zero making the use of government growth funding a failure. We are continually told by NZTR that those in the industry must band together for the good of all.  I think there is an anomaly.  Breeders have representatives on most racing boards and advisories, plus there is a definite inclusion of a selling facility at Greenfields.  If it's good enough for all owners to contribute a percentage of stakes to horse welfare it may be time for breeders to do the same for an infrastructure fund.  The breeders need horses to race for their core business to thrive.  A tarif/tax/deduction of sales and service fees would help build up a fund, over and above any sweepstake races.  A percentage applied to all income would allow for those who receive the most to contribute the most, rather than a select few clubs giving up their asset.  The breeders could offer ongoing contributions, whereas the clubs can only sell their tracks once e.g. Feilding, Marton, Bulls, Paeroa etc.
    • On a smaller scale even Kurow has squash courts that double as jockeys' room.
    • It took 31 years for Hong Kong’s Triple Crown to be won again, but it might only be 12 months until history repeats if Voyage Bubble continues his winning ways. Trainer Ricky Yiu Poon-fai said it was a case of “dreams come true” when his stable star famously completed the rare treble of the Group One Stewards’ Cup (1,600m), Group One Gold Cup (2,000m) and Group One Champions & Chater Cup (2,400m) earlier this year. And after his defiant success in last Sunday’s Group One Hong Kong Mile, snaring...View the full article
    • Enhancing the safety and well-being of thoroughbred racehorses was the key focus of the Jockey Club’s Equine Welfare Research Foundation’s inaugural international conference held in Hong Kong on Wednesday. Attracting 220 speakers and delegates from 25 countries, the event underscored a unified global effort to enhance the safety and welfare of thoroughbred racehorses through scientific innovation and collaboration. Themed “Applying Science to the Care of the Thoroughbred Racehorse”, the...View the full article
    • com'on Brodster. Get with the program as TaBman would of said. The last 4 races coming up are at around mile and a half . that's far enough for these horses. Was thinking the Brodster on the money today and just BACK your Boy Carter Dalgety today . Drove the double races 3 and 4 on Polly Grey and that plunge horse winner from Addington in DOVER TERRACE. looked a certainty with the best driver in NZ on it ?  only got 13-1 for the double on Sportsbet but beggars can't be choosers .  You tipped him as a man to follow and are 100% on the money old mate.👍💰 just gave some back on Suspicious Captain in the 8th just now , but it went ok. was only 3rd best horse as first 2 horses went well clear. Should we get on ANYTIME AT ALL in the last race Methven today ?  seems a Huge chance with Carter onboard Brodster. ?  should we put a Redback on it  ? what's your tip ?
