The proposed amendment to increase taxation on horse racing betting was withdrawn by the French government from the Social Security Financing Bill (PLFSS) which is currently tabled in the French Senate, the Jour de Galop reported on Friday. The news follows a Paris-based protest held by the racing industry on Thursday. The PLFSS will now be examined by senators on Nov. 13.

Very good point about the saline. Do nitrate levels affect it as well? I suspect the Rating might be one point out which seems to be common for most track reports that we get. In the absence of penetrometer or Going Stick readings I can't see how the Track ratings can be anything but finger in the ground subjective guesses. So expect to see a one point upgrade after race one taking it to a Soft 5. Then a one point upgrade after race two - G4. Then a retrospective upgrade of another point in the Stewards report - G3. Everything will be a recommended G4 improving to a G3 by mid-afternoon. Which means it will probably end up a G2. The big question is - where is the fast lane and who knows where it is? -
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.
