I'd regard it as probably reckless, so would have got 6 weeks. That he escaped with low range careless is extremely generous imo. Should have been at least mid to high range 7-10 days. From my view Justadude gave ground from being chopped off in the incident and was a winning chance at that stage, not that that has anything to do with it. -

Been plenty of success stories with the Focus Chief. Here's a great win for the Notoriuosly BAD Mannered horse OUR PADDY BOY . a very expensive $300,000 from NZ purchase by Robert Sangster , he played up so bad on Colin Hayes that Colin took him to various training tracks just to get him to go on the track at times . He just cheated all the time. Even in training. About to give up with frustration they changed jockey and ADDED some QUALITY gear. here's a bit from the horse's story. but two things were different. Mallyon was back in the saddle and Paddy was sporting blinkers for the very first time. One of life’s genuinely uncomplicated characters was now paired with a blinkered psycho. They fell in to win by a half-head at even money. Sydney, it was to be! NZ 'bad-boy' OUR PADDY BOY famously Wins the AJC Derby, defeating the NZ top 3 year old horse RING THE BELL (Tiley), when challenged in one of the great classic races. Not sure if Sangster 'demanded' Blinkers go on all his expensive thoroughbred purchases after this but the thought must of crossed his mind ? 😎😉👍 -

Blinkers seem to work well on Queen Zou. Who would have thought? Has had them on twice for a win three starts ago and a unlucky nose second today when they were put back on. -

With leading NT jockey Jarrod Todd in the saddle, the Gary Clarke-trained Wolfburn wins the Metric Mile (1600m) at Fannie Bay in July during the Darwin Cup Carnival. Picture: Darwin Turf Club Darwin’s Hall of Fame trainer Gary Clarke continues to rewrite the record books after once again dominating the 2024 Top End Racing Awards held at the Darwin Turf Club on Friday night. Clarke’s Wolfburn, the Darwin Cup runner-up in August, won the Horse of the Year title and was also crowned Middle Distance/Stayer of the Year following his exploits during the 2023/24 season. It was Clarke’s ninth Horse of the Year title, having won it previously with Dream Face (2012), It’s Home (2014), Finke (2016), Ticket To Toorak (2017), Neat Feat (2018), The Captain (2019 and 2020) and Syncline (2022). Wolfburn had a tremendous year, winning the Metric Mile (1600m) and ROANT Gold Cup (1300m). He was also second behind Hadouken in the $200,000 Darwin Cup (2050m) after finishing second behind Bear Story in the Chief Minister’s Cup (1600m). Meanwhile, the Chris Nash-trained Ideas Man was named Sprinter of the Year. Ideas Man’s seven starts at 1300m or less resulted in four wins and a third in the $135,000 Palmerston Sprint (1200m), a race where he came second last year. Nash, like Clarke, had two wins on Friday night, with Son Of Bielski a clear winner of the Out Of Carnival Award after six wins from seven starts, including the St Patrick’s Day Cup (1600m). The Three-Year-Old of the Year title saw Phil Cole’s Miami Vice come out on top by a single point from Ella Clarke’s Debating. Miami Vice won twice and was placed three times from his eight starts during the season. Gary Clarke extended his trainers’ premiership record with a 12th successive title after 67 wins. He was also the Darwin Cup Carnival’s leading trainer for the 11th time – the last seven in succession. Clarke had 12 wins over the eight days of Carnival – two less than last year, as well as 25 minor placings. Stable rider Jarrod Todd (60 wins) was the Champion Jockey for the fifth straight year, and in the process broke David Bates’ record of 59 wins set during the 1997/98 season. Todd emulated Clarke by also being crowned the Carnival’s leading jockey with 11 wins – it was his eighth title and fifth in succession. Emma Lines, who began riding in December 2022, was the Champion Apprentice Jockey for the second successive year. She rode 34 winners in the Top End and added a further 14 in Alice Springs. The Tried Horse Sale Performer of the Year went to Jason Manning’s Bon’s Pride, who won four times and finished second on four occasions during the season, amassing $106,550 in prizemoney. He cost $22,000 at the 2023 Darwin Magic Millions Tried Horse Sale. The Consistency and Longevity Award, a new award, went to New Enterprise, trained and co-owned by Peter Stennett. New Enterprise had 20 starts for four wins and seven minor placings, amassing 61 points from Bon’s Pride (55), Global Wonder (54) and Son Of Bielski (53). Women in Thoroughbred Racing NT Awards: Tayarn Halter (11 wins), Jockey: Emma Lines (34) Strapper of the Year: Hannah Boyle (Gary Clarke) Character of Racing Award: Chris Pollard (trainer) Aftercare Award: Samantha Hill Judges for the equine awards were Andrew O’Toole (Thoroughbred Racing NT chief executive officer), Greg Aldam (TRNT board member), Craig Sant (Darwin race-caller) and David White (horsebetting.com.au).
