Rain forced the GI Resorts World Casino Manhattan Stakes on Saturday to be added to the end of the card at Saratoga on Sunday, but that move did not 'deter' Deterministic (Liam's Map–Giulio's Jewel, by Speightstown) from capturing the signature grass race for trainer Miguel Clement. The young conditioner celebrated the first Grade I victory of his career after he took over the stable from his father Christophe Clement. Determinisitic looked every bit a pro out of the gate as the dark bay colt led the field into the first turn. Striding confidently up the backstretch and around the far turn, the 4-year-old was stout and showed heart all the way to the wire. Integration (Quality Road) acquitted himself well by mounting a massive charge that came up short. The final running time was 1:48.93. Lifetime Record: 12-6-3-1. Sales History: $625,000 '22 KEESEP. O-St. Elias Stable, Langone, Ken, Duncker, C. Steven and Vicarage Stable; B-Hinkle Farms (KY); T-Miguel Clement.

you often say this Brodster, But you don't say how they can improve ? What should they be doing with the funding Entain has provided ? New races and assorted things s like that seemed a good idea to me. spend it while you have got it . you say harness only benefits for 5 years. What should they do after that time then ? (I would tinker with the actual racing itself if in charge lol.😂. If they want to make the Invercargill Cup a Group 1 for $100,000 for example, (which also drew BOAY criticism at the time for wasting funds) I thought it was good as gave the locals a chance to WIN Big Bucks with their Best pacers. (a bit like the Golden Gate initiative at Alex Park gave regular folk with regular horses a chance at big bucks , Unhinged Nigel even WON one of them . great stuff ) Your man Carter from Canterbury far too good for the Southerners though so mugged the Invercargill Cup money with Krug and Republican Party anyway. so the locals can't win their own race. I would make it a stand and plonk winners off 10m . This has what has slipped in NZ for a few years. The Handicap. Sundee's Son Lazarus Copy That and even bloody SWAYZEE 'Gifted' the big races (Dominion, Rowe,NZ Cup etc) as after winning them once. were NOT given the 10m or 20m handicap , so Easily won them a second time . Swayzee might be coming back for 3rd NZ Cup shortly ? just silly giving it to him. put him on 20m 👍😎 To Give Others a Chance handicap the winners . as they have done for 100 years previously. you need more than One Winner and you especially need all the participants to Have a chance of winning. . This keeps ALL Trainers and owners interested in competing in these races too. The interest will drop away otherwise. -
What an excellent collection of ideas and events. Hope the Colonel can recover. So many small businesses have collapsed the last few years with the cost of staff and shop rent especially hard to manage. The Cost of living far exceeded the inflation rate , with the cost of 'everything' escalating all the time. (luckily my wife and I sold our local small business we had for 7 years , about 7 years ago to the Chinese ,so I semi-retired, just very recently the Chinaman shut the door for the last time actually , a sign of the times 🙄) Brodie and I discussed previously a few times what the costs of racing/training a horse these days are, and realized the folly of doing so , even though reasonably well off. I would want to do the horse myself but feel too old to get back into it now as a participant lol. Plus the many horses I trained in my prime before marriage, we just tried to 'break even' for the regular people owners we had. none of the horses were stars and even if could get just a second placing each month , at least the horse broke even from it's 4 starts that month. It was a Tough Battle. I've always been surrounded by some of the best Horse people on the Planet. young Herlihy and MarkyP while in Nz ,Vinnie Knight and JimmyO in Victoria, and some amazing families like Dixon's, Rasmussen and McMullen in QLD . Feel like I walked in horse heaven mixing it up with these fine people. Anyway HEARTY congrats to you , racing both gallopers and harness horses I believe from this forum. Supporting both Codes and enjoying yourself no end . Up the Karaka Day !! 🤣😂 Today is public holiday Kings Birthday in Vic and NSW. wonder if it is in NZ too? Stupid stupid QLD changed our Kings B'day holiday to Oct. WTF. and we don't even have Daylight Saving at all. talk about backward state lol. My wife and I used to go to the Brisbane Cup run this Very day (when queens b'day holiday Monday) every year as our galloping outing. but they changed it. so we go No more, and is gorgeous day today. and nothing on. spose do have BOAY and Collingwood v Dee's at the MCG AFL (80,000 crowd today) on tele for a bit of entertainment.

Offering a “Win and You're In” ticket to the GI Prevagen Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar in November, Ag Bullet (Twirling Candy–Noble Grey, by Forestry) took the prize in the GI Jaipur Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, which was postponed on Saturday due to heavy rain. The lone female drawn here, Ag Bullet set up shop off the speed and waited for her opportunity to pounce. The chance came entering the lane and the 5-year-old looked impressive as she snagged the coveted Breeders' Cup trip which will be held at a track she knows well. My Boy Prince (Cairo Prince) was the runner-up. The final running time was 1:03.62. Lifetime Record: 14-7-0-2. Sales History: $30,000 '20 KEENOV, KEESEP '21 $220,000. O-Nguyen, Calvin and Tran, Joey C.; B-H & E Ranch (KY); T-Richard Baltas.
