95%+ of NZ punters don't have an OZ account with other providers. So now they only have one choice. The question is is the market big enough for the sports punter to find value. The other question is are ENTAIN able to lay off on other markets? -

It proved to be a long but fruitful day for Kelly Myers on Friday, with the now Central Districts-based hoop riding home Above The Clouds to win the $100,000 TAB Polytrack Championship (2000m) at Cambridge for local trainer Ralph Manning. Above The Clouds did it tough from her wide barrier, sitting three-wide for much of the journey, but showed her class when distancing her rivals in the straight to score by 3-3/4 lengths over race favourite Spanish Lad. “She drew the outside barrier and I was going to need a little bit of luck,” Myers said. “I thought I could have got into the one-one, but Craig (Grylls, jockey aboard Spanish Lad) obviously didn’t want to go to the fence, so we had to sit three-wide. “She was handy and in a nice rhythm. When Sam Collett (jockey aboard Heart Of Gold) came around us I was able to sit in behind her and get a bit of a drag into the race. “I don’t think it would have mattered how I rode her, she won pretty easily.” The victory made the trip from Taranaki a lot easier for Myers, who has been living back on the family dairy farm for the last couple of months. Myers said she and her family are loving being back in a rural environment and they are currently in the midst of calving, which kept Myers busy before having to head north to Cambridge on Friday. “We have moved back to the family dairy farm and my husband and two kids are loving it,” she said. “We moved down at the start of June. We are not too far from Mum, and we are a lot closer to Rosie (Fell, sister), which is great. “It is a busy time for us at the moment, but we are coming to the finishing line, we haven’t got too many left to calve. “I fed calves this morning before I went to Cambridge. It is a long drive, so to win that (Polytrack Championship) made it all worth it.” Myers is coming off a pleasing season in the saddle, recording 59 wins, three at Group and Listed level, and accrued nearly $2.5 million in prizemoney, her best haul to date. “It was good,” she said. “I had quite a few quiet patches and then a few good runs. All-in-all it was a good season and hopefully I can top it this season.” Myers is hoping she can add to her season tally when she heads to her local meeting at Hawera on Sunday where she has a full book of seven rides, including two for Ralph Manning. She will partner last start winners Dancin In The Dark and Small Town Girl in the Free Court (2100m) and Jinnibegood (1600m) respectively for the Cambridge trainer, and she is confident of bold showings from the pair. “I think I have got a nice book at Hawera,” Myers said. “I am riding two for Ralph that I won on last start at Waverley, and I think Ralph is pretty happy with how they have gone on. They should be pretty competitive.” View the full article -

The spring carnival build-up continued at Warwick Farm on Friday morning, where Group One winner Ceolwulf (NZ) (Tavistock) made his final public appearance before he resumes in the Gr.1 Winx Stakes (1400m). Trainer Joe Pride gave him an intentionally quiet hit-out when he trailed the field home in a 900m heat at his home track last month, but speaking before Friday’s trial session the trainer said he was content for Ceolwulf to be asked for a little more by regular rider Chad Schofield. “I don’t know if it had any bearing on his prep but I let him do a bit too much in his trials last time around so I deliberately got him out of the contest the other day,” Pride said. “But I’m happy for him to do a little bit more on Friday. “He’s been great and the Winx Stakes will be his first-up run for sure. It’s locked in.” Ceolwulf downed Via Sistina (Fastnet Rock) and Fangirl (Sebring) in his second barrier trial leading into the autumn then had a mixed carnival in which he raced competitively but didn’t quiet reach the heights he’d climbed the previous spring. With that seasoning and experience under his belt, Pride is hopeful Ceolwulf can return to the form that resulted in him claiming the Gr.1 Epsom Handicap (1600m)-Gr.1 King Charles III (1600m) double last year. Ceolwulf closed off stylishly under light riding to finish a half-length second in Friday’s 1000-metre trial, which was led and won by stablemate Private Eye (Al Maher), who trialled in preference to running in Saturday’s Gr.2 Missile Stakes (1200m) at Randwick, for which he was favourite. The A$1 million Winx Stakes is the first Group One of the Sydney season and will be run at Randwick on August 23. It is expected to attract a mouth-watering field with Chris Waller confirming Via Sistina, Fangirl, Lady Shenandoah (Snitzel) and Aeliana (NZ) (Castelvecchico) are all scheduled to resume there, while Ciaron Maher is expected to be represented by the likes of Another Wil (Street Boss), Gringotts (NZ) (Per Incanto) and Light Infantry Man (Fast Company). Maher’s New Zealand Derby-winning recruit Willydoit (NZ) (Tarzino) was among the others to trial on Friday with the gelding settling last but working through the line strongly to be beaten four lengths by Felix Majestic (Smart Missile). Group One winner and Caulfield Cup (Gr.1,2400m) runner-up Buckaroo (Fastnet Rock) made his first trial appearance of the campaign in the same 900m hit-out, finishing immediately behind Willydoit. Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) favourite Sir Delius (Frankel) had his second trial of the preparation, settling back in a five-horse trial over 1200m before working home under urging from Tim Clark to finish third, beaten a neck by the Bjorn Baker-trained Nkosi (Shamus Award).
