4th-GP, $94k, Msw, 3yo, 6f, 1:49p.m. ET Florida will play host to two noteworthy maidens on the Gulfstream Park card Saturday, the first being this six panel maiden sprint, that drew the noteworthy connections with well-bred horses. Lining up against this field of 11 is $1.1-million KEESEP purchase VANDERBILT (Into Mischief). Out of GI Longines Test and Humana Distaff Stakes victress American Gal (Concord Point), the colt was purchased by Grandview Equine to race in partnership with LNJ Foxwoods, Whisper Hill Farm, and Gainesway Stable. The second dam was herself a graded-placed half-sister to fan-favorite G1 Gulf News Dubai Golden Shaheen winner, multimillionaire Reynaldothewizard (Speightstown) as well as MGISW Seventh Street (Street Crty {Ire}). That half-sibling went on to her own claim to fame in the breeding shed as the dam of GSW & GISP Lake Avenue (Tapit) and GISP Marking (Bernardini). Armed with a healthy worktab of three bullets in his last six outings, Brad Cox sends Vanderbilt to post with Tyler Gaffalione in the irons. His rightward neighbor in the gate is Skate Away (Good Magic), a $400,000 pick up at EASMAY last year by Spendthrift Farm after he was purchased as a yearling by CF Farm at FTKOCT for $100,000 in 2023. Out of a winning dam, the Todd Pletcher runner hails from the immediate female family of MSW & MGSP Foxy Danseur (Mr. Greeley), who is the dam of 'TDN Rising Star' GSW Ever So Clever (Medaglia d'Oro) and the granddam of GSW Everso Mischievous (Into Mischief). The morning line has Vanderbilt at 2-1 while Skate Away is tabbed at 9-2 odds. Third in that row is River Thames (Maclean's Music), who races for the partnership of WinStar Farm, Siena Farm, and CHC, Inc. A $200,000 yearling in 2023 at SARAUG, the other Pletcher runner will look to give the conditioner an exacta in this race. He hails from the female family of MGISW Paulassilverlining (Ghostzapper), who later produced SW & GSP-UAE Artorius (Arrogate). This family also claims millionaire MGISW Dads Caps (Discreet Cat) as an immediate relative. TJCIS PPs 7th-GP, $94k, Msw, 3yo, 1m, 3:18p.m. ET The first two on the rail in this mile maiden is a redux of race four as Brad Cox takes on Todd Pletcher once again, this time with WILD CONQUEROR (Authentic) from post two. The Cox runner is a KEESEP grad to the tune of $875,000 after changing hands to CHC Inc., and Qatar Racing with Trilogy USA and Stonestreet Stables being added to that partnership. Out of a winning Sass and Class (Harlan's Holiday), the Authentic colt is a half-brother to MGSW Royal Charlotte (Cairo Prince), who herself is now the dam of a stakes-placed runner named Medicine Dog (Constitution). Wild Conqueror has a healthy tab established at Payson Park, and will go to post here with Luis Saez. Breaking from the rail, the aforementioned Pletcher runner is Grande (Curlin), a $300,000 KEESEP purchase in 2023 by Repole Stable. The pair is no stranger to the big stage, the son of GSW Journey Home (War Front) looks to add on to that tally. A half-brother to GSW Ticker Tape Home (Medaglia d'Oro), the colt hails from the immediate female family of the venerable champion juvenile filly GISW Pleasant Stage (Pleasant Colony) and her full-brother MGSW Stage Colony. Another full-sister GSW Colonial Play later became the dam of MGISW Marsh Side (Gone West) while a fourth whole sister produced GISW Changeintheweather (Gone West). The extended family counts MGSP Scipio (Caravaggio) to its ranks.

The first foal sired by Ashford Stud's Gunite (Gun Runner) was born Thursday, Jan. 9. Owned by Phoenix Farm and Racing and Todd Frederick, the colt the third produce from his dam Sweet Meadow Mist (D'Funnybone), a half-sister to the stakes-winning and Grade III-placed Bachata (Kingmambo), whose daughter Gold Medal Dancer (Medaglia d'Oro) was named a 'TDN Rising Star' before going on to win the GII Azeri Stakes while placing in the GI Apple Blossom Handicap and GI La Troienne Stakes for Josephine Abercrombie's Pin Oak Stud. Gold Medal Dancer made $400,000 in foal to Ashford's Munnings when offered at the Pin Oak dispersal in 2021. The current 2-year-old from Sweet Meadow Mist, a colt by Yaupon, fetched $250,000 at Keeneland September last fall. “He's a really nice colt and we are very happy with him,” said farm manager Ramiro Salazar. Bred and raced by Winchell Thoroughbreds, Gunite was the 5 3/4-length winner of the GI Hopeful Stakes in 2021 and added the GII Amsterdam Stakes the following season ahead of a runner-up effort to Ashford barnmate Jack Christopher (Munnings) in the GI H. Allen Jerkens Stakes. He returned in 2023 to complete a Saratoga stakes trifecta, defeating champion Elite Power (Curlin) by 1 3/4 lengths in the GI Forego Stakes before ending his career with a runner-up effort in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint. Gunite stood his first year at stud in 2024 at a fee of $35,000.

A few patches not doing well but I don't see a horse safety issue with that. Most of it is very thick and looks good. -
“Attached to the monopoly proposal (geo-blocking), but not part of the agreement, in exchange for expanding the monopoly from onshore to online I negotiated with the TAB and they agreed they would relinquish their class 4 gaming licence and stick just to wagering, and so that would be a 500 poker machine drop to our country’s total – there would not be machines in TAB outlets anymore, and that means the TAB can focus just on wagering as it was intended to do right from the start."
