    • BH Interview: Joe Anzalone of Magic Cap StablesView the full article
    • That is really sad mate. There must be some answer we can come up for you. you've been an outstanding supporter of the sport.  I can't get the NZ TAB on my screen ever. because i'm in the wrong location . But could sign up for about 6 or 7 different on-line bookies if I felt like it. Can NZers get any on-line bookies too ? or does location restrict ? No. Future markets , you take the challenge your horse will start in an event, let alone Win it lol . Very hard to do BETS on future Gallops as the nominations list is Very Big sometimes. Waller  and Maher and trainers like that have 700 horses each on their books. and none are slugs either. so very hard to pick what will make the final cut (field) in advance sometimes.  so very rarely take a future gallops bet. They pay alright on the day after acceptances anyway, with the larger pools. Of course after acceptances ( the final race field) is drawn up , and your horse you bet on doesn't show up, you get a refund.   In harness racing it's different in that you Pretty much know the horses that will make the Future fields in advance.  Example: Republican Party , Mo'unga etc almost certain to start NZ Cup. however last year,  I lost $30 worth of future bets on Leap To Fame last year because he had minor set back and cancelled the trip for the NZ Cup. so no refund. I was trying for better advance odds than what I would get on the day.  Example : We have the Big Eureka in 3 weeks time at Menangle. there is a FUTURES market available. probably 8 of the TOP 10 in the current Futures market will make the field . The positions in the Eureka Slot are keenly sort after. So only the best 10 will make it to the Post. So  If I bet on one that doesn't make the field (chasing odds or something silly like that) I will lose the Investment. 
    • 9th-Ellis, $100,000, Msw, 8-18, 2yo, f, 1mT, 1:36.60, fm, 2 1/4 lengths. HOT AND DANGEROUS (f, 2, Blame–Windfall Profit, by Malibu Moon) flattened out to be a fading fifth of seven in her 6 1/2-furlong bow over this main track July 14 but was nevertheless crunched into 6-5 favoritism in the second division of this juvenile fillies turf maiden. Straight to the lead from the four hole, the $65,000 KEESEP purchase enjoyed a fairly carefree time of things up front while clear of her rivals through fractions of :25 flat and :49.95, reasonably comparable to the race six splits (:25.06, :50.58). Mario Gutierrez began to wind up the tempo fully three furlongs from home, and Hot and Dangerous covered her final quarter-mile in a strong :46.65 to score comfortably in a time that was 2.54 seconds quicker than the first division. Wathnan Racing's debuting Sneakily (Tapit), an $850,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling, raced last but one and would have been inconvenienced by the lack of pace, but–despite having to travel wide on the second turn–got her final half-mile in a race-best :46.16 in a promising effort. A daughter of Hit It Rich (Smart Strike), a three-time graded winner on the grass at 11 and 12 furlongs, Windfall Profit was purchased by Craig Rounsefell's Boomer Bloodstock for $250,000 with this filly in utero at Keeneland November in 2022. The filly's third dam is Grade III winner Cuando Puede (Lord At War {Arg}), a half-sister to Honey Ryder (Lasting Approval), winner of the GI Flower Bowl Invitational and GI E.P. Taylor Stakes at a mile and quarter on the lawn and a gallant runner-up in the 2007 GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf in the bog-like conditions at Monmouth Park. Windfall Profit's youngest offspring are a yearling colt by Liam's Map and a colt foal by Twirling Candy. She was covered by Oscar Performance this season. Sales history: $65,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $63,231. Click for the Equibase.com chart.

    • Tuesday, York, Britain, post time: 15:35, THE JUDDMONTE INTERNATIONAL STAKES-G1, £1,319,375, 3yo/up, 10f 56yT Field: Birr Castle (Fr) (Cloth Of Stars {Ire}), Danon Decile (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), Ombudsman (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), See The Fire (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Daryz (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Delacroix (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). TDN Verdict: As fascinating as it should be, one of Britain's monuments sees the Eclipse one-two Delacroix and Ombudsman re-engage with a different pace scenario thanks to the addition of Birr Castle. Danon Decile has also made it in the past and the presence of the triple Group 1 winner will ensure that this is a proper test worthy of the race title. Bearing in mind how impressive Calandagan was when beaten 12 months ago, the fact that the Japanese raider was able to beat him comfortably in the Sheema Classic bodes well for his prospects. See The Fire is a different animal at this track and her 12-length win in the course-and-distance Middleton puts her firmly in the mix in the race her dam Arabian Queen captured 10 years ago. [Tom Frary]. Wednesday, York, post time: 15:00, THE SKY BET GREAT VOLTIGEUR STAKES-G2, £267,500, 3yo, c/g, 11f 188yT Field: Lambourn (Ire) (Australia {GB}), Carmers (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Pride Of Arras (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Arabian Force (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Mount Kilimanjaro (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), Stay True (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Thrice (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). TDN Verdict: Lambourn becomes the first Derby winner to run in this since Reference Point and in all likelihood will be Arc-bound after given how well his stablemate Scandinavia has done in the staying tests this summer. The St Leger is the destination for his chief rival, the Queen 's Vase winner Carmers, who also has a penalty while Aidan O'Brien dominates numerically and the Lingfield Derby Trial runner-up Stay True also appeals as a Leger candidate. Pride Of Arras has to put two poor runs behind him, but the manner of his Dante success in May sticks in the memory. [Tom Frary]. Wednesday, York, post time: 14:25, THE TATTERSALLS ACOMB STAKES-G3, £165,000, 2yo, 7fT Field: Distant Storm (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Gewan (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Goodwood Galaxy (GB) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), Italy (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), May Angel (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Oceans Four (GB) (Zoustar {Aus}), Rochfortbridge (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Sovereign Ocean (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Godolphin and Ballydoyle's TDN Rising Stars Distant Storm and Italy cross paths, as the yards' Ruling Court and The Lion In Winter did 12 months ago in this significant 2,000 Guineas pointer. Italy was second to Distant Storm's stablemate Saba Desert in the Superlative, so Charlie Appleby may have an inkling as to how this will go and Aidan O'Brien will be hoping for a change of luck with his two-year-olds having started so strongly. Andrew Balding also has some smart juveniles in 2025 and saddles Gewan, who scored on debut in the Newbury novice that the stable's Chaldean took three years ago before adding this to his tally.
