    • Surely not Wilcox.  Tracks are NZ's biggest issue and can you say the Ellerslie rebuild has been a resounding success?  
    • Group 2 winner and Group 1 sire Acclamation (GB) has been pensioned from stallion duties at Rathbarry Stud. The 25-year-old son of Royal Applause (GB) stood for €25,000 this term. Bred by Tedwood Bloodstock and partners, the son of Princess Athena (Ire) (Ahonoora {GB}) won the G2 Diadem Stakes and was placed in both the G2 King's Stand Stakes prior to it being elevated to Group 1 level and the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes for Gerald Cottrell. The sire of 155 stakes horses internationally and 68 lifetime stakes winners, the bay got his stallion career off to a great start, with G1 Middle Park Stakes hero and future Champion Sire elect Dark Angel (Ire) and fellow top-level winner Equiano (Fr) in his first crop, good enough to be named Leading First-Season Sire in 2007. Overall, he is the sire of seven winners at the highest table led by Romantic Warrior (Ire), a Hong Kong star, with 6-million gns mare Marsha (Ire) amidst the bunch. Acclamation is also making his mark as a sire-of-sires, with Tally-Ho Stud's Mehmas (Ire) and the aforementioned Dark Angel at stud in Ireland among numerous sire sons. His daughters have foaled 38 stakes winners to date, 19 of them at group level with G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud winner Broome (Ire) (Australia {GB}) and G1 Commonwealth Cup victor Eqtidaar (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) the best of them. Rathbarry Stud's owner Paul Cashman said, “Acclamation has been our flag bearer here at Rathbarry since 2004 and with such a brilliant temperament he has been a pleasure to deal with. His progeny came up trumps every year both on the racetrack and in the sales ring bringing good fortune to all his investors. We really regard him as one of the family as does our stallion man, Clive Cox, who has done an amazing job caring for him. We hope he will have a long and healthy retirement here at the stud.” The post ‘One Of The Family’–Acclamation Pensioned At Rathbarry Stud appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Not necessarily.  But don't confuse Bonus Cash with Bonus Bets.  Two completely different free bets. The T's and C's for each promotion can be different.  If you original bet failed and you get some credit back then you can check the expiry date in the Bonus Bet and Bonus Cash section on the app or the web site. Let's face it you are getting credit back because your original bet was a losing bet.  When you compare what you used to get from the old site I don't see what people are bitching about.  I think if you are pricing value in the market by factoring in bonus bets then you aren't going to do too well in the long term.  Plus with a Bonus Bet unless you use it on a high return (high risk) bet you aren't getting a lot back after they deduct the stake they lent you.
    • I wonder how saline their irrigation water is. In my experience, salt completely buggers up moisture meter readings. Those are all over the place but if they just guess the track readings or report what they want to, then it could be those not the moisture readings that are out of whack.
    • this one came in,  amusing to see it is only for 3 races and expires days after those races... $20.00 Bonus Bet Bonus Bet to use on Flemington Race 4, 5 or 6 expires in: 3 days
