the All Stars are losing top billing? We know Mark rules the roost but now has other ventures etc on his radar. Nathan is a good trainer but he's light years away from being in the same league as his dad. Just lately the All Stars no longer look invincible in races they usually dominate season after season. Brother Barry, the Dunn's and the Telfer's have been snapping at the heels of the All Stars for a few seasons and even poking their noses in front. Are we about to see them put more than just their noses in front? -
so they had an inquiry,but how come they didn't late scratch the 2 horses taken out of the race before they even started. no way did they get a fair start. The starter only had 4 on the 10m mark to look at,yet he let them go when kango was impeding the 2 inside horses and moving in even more . That race was a bit of a joke from the start . There was a reason american me was so far in front after 100m . The starter up there needs to go to spec savers. -
Well I was only jesting that if we could magically get rid of Pokies that he betting dollar would return in large amounts to horse racing. (of course impossible with our governments enjoying billions each year from the pokie gambling taxes kindly donated by Pokie addicts. In harness racing they have run slot races at Cambridge the past 3 years , so things are looking up and some great racing , with the very best horses from both Nations, and owners and Win a large amount in one go , like they do at the metro Oz gallops , the Everest is fantastic each year. Real progress as the Aussie states start up their own 'Slot' races too. Perhaps Nz gallops could join in and try and attract some 'High Flyers' and public interest in the racing again. Aussies might visit and stables like Te Akau, Marsh, Rogerson could all have stables in both countries and the racing improve with it. The Nz Racing has been great this season. It is still going to be ok. I enjoyed seeing Ellerslie back in action. You need the biggest City to set the 'Tone of improvement. -

What Sha Tin Races Where Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong When Sunday, May 19, 2024 First Race 12:45pm HKT (2:45pm AEST) Visit Dabble Hong Kong racing returns to Sha Tin on Sunday, with a bumper 10-race program set for decision. The rail is in the C+3 position, and although sunny skies are predicted in the lead-up, some scattered showers throughout the afternoon could leave participants racing on a yielding surface at some stage. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 12:45pm local time. Best Bet: Sky Trust Sky Trust is on the one-week backup after a luckless effort at this course and distance on May 11. He was crowded for room when shifting clear under Hugh Bowman, with the son of So You Think hitting his stride in the final furlong. He’s hit the frame in three of his six starts to date, and with a bit more urgency to hold a position from the inside draw (2), Sky Trust appears set to add one to the win column. Best Bet Race 6 – #10 Sky Trust (2) 3yo Gelding | T: Caspar Fownes | J: Hugh Bowman (56.5kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best: Super Infinity Super Infinity has looked outstanding at the barrier trials heading into his debut for the Mark Newnham barn. His Happy Valley jump-out on April 19 particularly caught the eye, with the gelding by Star Witness attacking the wire under minimal riding by leading hoop Zac Purton. He elects to stick for race-day, and although barrier 11 could prove tricky to overcome, leave it to Hong Kong’s best to slot in for cover before exposing Super Infinity down the centre of the course. Next Best Race 2 – #5 Super Infinity (11) 3yo Gelding | T: Mark Newnham | J: Zac Purton (59.5kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best Again: Lucy In The Sky It was hard not to be impressed with Lucy In The Sky as he demolished his rivals at Sha Tin on April 28. He sat outside the leader before exploding clear in the concluding stages, putting significant margins back to second and third. He still has plenty of upside for the Me Tsui barn, and provided Karis Teetan can produce another front-running masterclass with the rail in a favourable position, Lucy In The Sky will take a power of beating. Next Best Again Race 4 – #1 Lucy In The Sky (1) 3yo Gelding | T: Me Tsui | Karis Teetan (61kg) Bet with Bet365 Hong Kong Sunday quaddie tips – 19/5/2024 Sha Tin quadrella selections Sunday, May 19, 2024 1-3-4-5-8-14 1-7-8 2-4-5-6 1-3-4-7-8 Horse racing tips View the full article -

Saturday’s Happy 80th Birthday Garry Chittick (1100m) at Trentham is set to cap an exciting week for Cambridge trainers Ben and Ryan Foote. The $40,000 open sprint marks a welcome return to raceday action for the Footes’ stable star, multiple Group One-performed mare Babylon Berlin. It comes just three days after the father-son pair unveiled an exciting new talent with a brilliant four-length debut victory by Keegan at Cambridge on Wednesday. “He was impressive,” Ben Foote said. “We’d kept our opinion of him under wraps a little bit, but we certainly did expect him to produce a performance like that. “He’s always been very talented. He was up in Hong Kong with David Hall, who said he thought he’d win first-up at Sha Tin, but he had a bit of an injury and had to come back to New Zealand. He told us, ‘Don’t trial him – he knows what he’s doing. Just get him fit, take him to the races and have a bet. So that’s what we did.” Foote is now eyeing the new series of $100,000 races that have been introduced this year on the Cambridge, Awapuni and Riccarton synthetic tracks in early August. These races are open to all horses that have had at least three starts on a synthetic track in New Zealand since May of last year, with fields selected based on horses’ performances on those all-weather surfaces during that time. “He’s obviously got a lot of talent, so we can look at raising the bar a little bit,” Foote said. “There are those $35,000 MAAT races at Cambridge in late July, and then we might have a look at those new $100,000 races – possibly the one down at Awapuni (over 1400m on August 9).” Meanwhile, Foote is looking forward to welcoming Babylon Berlin back to raceday action on Saturday. It will be the All Too Hard mare’s first start since the Gr.1 Sistema Railway (1200m) on New Year’s Day, in which she was a beaten favourite. She has since undergone a wind operation, then also underwent further treatment for an eye injury. Babylon Berlin warmed up for Saturday’s race with an 850m trial at Waipa on April 30, which she won by four and a half lengths. With eight wins, 13 placings and more than $600,000 in stakes – including runner-up finishes in the Railway, the Gr.1 Telegraph (1200m) and the Gr.1 BCD Group Sprint (1200m) – Babylon Berlin’s accomplishments tower over her four rivals at Trentham on Saturday. She has been allotted a 62kg topweight, although apprentice jockey Ace Lawson-Carroll will reduce that impost to 60kg with his 2kg claim. “It was a relief to see her trial like that at Waipa, I think she’s back to her old self,” Foote said. “She’s continued to go the right way since that trial too. “I took her to Te Aroha last Friday for a gallop on the course proper, partly to get that track tested out for the stipes. I think her work that day was as good as I’ve seen from her, so I’m very happy with how she’s going. “She’s in the truck behind me right now, so as long as she’s behaving herself, I think we’re on target for tomorrow. “We’ve got no firm plans after this and we’ll see how she goes before we make a decision. We could send her over to Aussie, or we could freshen her up to have a crack at the spring. We’ll get this race out of the way first and then come up with a plan.” View the full article
