Bit hard to say isn't it from the above? In one place it says "their former account." In another, "the person who is now believed to operate that account". A third party, accountant, former employee? Regardless, as you said, it is theft, but not by RV. -

My Gladiola. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Trainer John McArdle has chosen to keep promising filly My Gladiola in Melbourne, with the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on February 22 as her primary target. While the $2 million Inglis Millennium (1100m) at Randwick on Saturday was considered, McArdle believes staying home is the best long-term approach. “They (Inglis representatives) rang me and asked if I was coming,” McArdle said. “With the Blue Diamond as her target, it’s a big ask for a young horse to go to Sydney and then come back down and race again.” The I Am Invincible filly is the current $4 favourite with horse racing bookmakers for the Blue Diamond following her dominant debut win in the fillies’ division of the Group 3 Blue Diamond Preview (1000m) at Sandown on January 25. “I usually take them off the bridle before race day, but she ran around a bit in her jump-out, which made it hard for Jamie (Mott, jockey) to do that,” McArdle said. “That was the question she needed to answer, and it was good to see her respond.” My Gladiola will return to Caulfield for Saturday’s Group 2 Blue Diamond Prelude (F) (1100m) as she continues her preparation for Victoria’s premier juvenile race. “She is a big girl, carries a bit of condition, and still has a fair bit on her, but she did a bit of evens on Saturday and she was spot on doing it,” McArdle said. “All the data was good, she was lovely and relaxed, so she looks in really good order.” Horse racing news View the full article -

Arabian Summer. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Arabian Summer is set to make her return to Victorian racing in Saturday’s Group 3 Peter Le Grand Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield. The three-year-old was last seen in the state when winning the Magic Millions Ballarat 2YO Classic (1000m) in December 2023. Her most recent campaign in Queensland featured a dominant first-up victory over 1000 metres at the Gold Coast on December 20, followed by a strong third behind Private Harry in the $3 million Magic Millions Sunlight 3YO Plate (1100m) at the Sunshine Coast on January 4. “She went to another level up there, finishing alongside a Golden Slipper winner (Lady Of Camelot) at set weights and didn’t have a great run in transit,” trainer Tony McEvoy, who prepares the filly in partnership with Calvin McEvoy, told Racing.com. “She ran fabulously.” As part of her lead-up to Saturday’s race, Arabian Summer contested a barrier trial at Geelong last week, finishing second to weight-for-age star Mr Brightside. “She’s going really well,” McEvoy added. “She trialled up beautifully. We weren’t planning to give her a trial but she had just done so well in the stable. “If she runs how I expect (on Saturday), we might look at an Oakleigh Plate for her – she’d have to be impressive at set weights against her own sex on Saturday.” Arabian Summer has drawn barrier eight of 13 for the Peter Le Grand Stakes and will be ridden by Harry Coffey and is a $3.60 favourite with horse racing betting sites.

Price Tag. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Tyler Schiller is confident it will take a quality horse to beat Price Tag in the $2 million Inglis Millennium (1100m) at Randwick, provided the talented filly can overcome her inexperience. Price Tag firmed into outright $4 favouritism with horse racing betting sites after drawing barrier 11, while some of her main rivals fared worse in Tuesday’s draw. Rivellino landed barrier 16, and unbeaten filly Within The Law was dealt gate 18. Schiller made the trip to Melbourne last month to ride the Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained filly in the Group 3 Blue Diamond Preview (F) (1000m), where she finished runner-up to My Gladiola. The jockey came away impressed with her performance. “She’s a nice little filly with plenty of upside,” Schiller said. “She’s still doing a bit wrong. I rode her last (start) and she is still a bit raw, but I think if she can come up here and do everything right, it will take a good horse to beat her.” A $600,000 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale purchase, Price Tag showed promise in two starts up the Flemington straight during the spring. She finished third in the Listed Maribyrnong Trial Stakes (1000m) on debut before running fourth in the Group 3 Maribyrnong Plate (1000m). Schiller is confident she will handle the Sydney way of going at Randwick. “I don’t know if she has worked the Sydney way, but she should handle it well,” he said. “If anything, she wanted to hang right so she should be better suited up here. Hopefully.” Horse racing news View the full article -

Knight’s Choice set for All-Star Mile bid after impressive trial at Sunshine Coast. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) Melbourne Cup winner Knight’s Choice is on track for a potential first-up tilt at the All-Star Mile (1600m), with co-trainer Sheila Laxon confirming the $2.5 million feature is a key early target in the gelding’s upcoming campaign. The five-year-old made an impressive return to public work at the Sunshine Coast on Tuesday morning, surging home along the inside to defeat Calico Jack by half a length in a 1000-metre trial. The hitout was his first competitive appearance since his stunning $91 upset with the top online bookmakers in last November’s Melbourne Cup, and Laxon was left encouraged by his condition. “His options are fairly restricted, so we’re looking at the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m). or the All-Star Mile,” Laxon told RSN927. “As we saw today, he’s pretty forward, and I’d think probably he’d go first-up into a race like that (All-Star Mile).” The All-Star Mile, which will be held at Flemington on March 8, has gained official Group 1 status for the first time in 2025. However, in a significant change, the prize money for the race has been reduced from $3.75 million in 2024 to $2.5 million in 2025. Knight’s Choice originally forged his reputation as a high-class miler, winning the Group 3 Winx Guineas (1600m) before his unexpected rise to two-mile glory in the Melbourne Cup. While his ultimate autumn targets remain flexible, Laxon indicated that conditions would determine his path beyond the All-Star Mile, with the $2.5 million Group 1 Australian Cup and Brisbane’s Q22 (2200m) in June also on the radar. “It’s going to be in the lap of the gods with the weather,” Laxon said. “But we’ll prepare him, and I’m sure he’ll put his best foot forward on the day.” If Knight’s Choice, who is currently a $34 hope , contests the All-Star Mile first-up, he will make history as the first Melbourne Cup winner to feature in the lucrative mile event.
