    • Nine British Flat stallions will parade at Tattersalls on Thursday, January 30 ahead of the February Sale. As reported in TDN last week, A'Ali (Ire), Bangkok (Ire), Bradsell (GB), Caturra (Ire), El Caballo (GB), Isaac Shelby (GB), Lope Y Fernandez (Ire), Stradivarius (Ire) and Ubettabelieveit (Ire) will be available for viewing at Park Paddocks. They will be joined by nine former stars of the track for the inaugural RoR Showcase, which includes Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Native River (Ire). “The Retraining of Racehorses charity is a vitally important asset to the British racing and bloodstock industries and we hope that the new RoR Showcase at Tattersalls will celebrate both the talents and successes of former racehorses in their second careers, in addition to increasing awareness of the crucial role played by RoR in ensuring their welfare,” said Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony. “The Stallion Parade of young British-based sires has been a staple attraction at the Tattersalls February Sale for many years and the day will provide an opportunity to showcase many important aspects of the bloodstock industry to breeders and racing and equestrian enthusiasts alike.” The event is also being backed by the British European Breeders' Fund, which will sponsor refreshments throughout the morning.  British EBF Chairman Simon Sweeting, who is supporting the parade with his Overbury Stud-based Caturra, said, “The British EBF's £2 million annual contribution to racing's prize-money is funded, in the main, by British stallions. When Tattersalls approached us about their plans for the parade, it made perfect sense for us to support and be associated with it. It is a great opportunity for breeders to see new horses such as The National Stud's Bradsell and stallions from a bit further afield such as Ubettabelieveit, El Caballo and Bangkok.” The post Flat Stallions on Parade at Tattersalls appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Interesting how many top mares, don't carry it through to the broodmare paddock, what a grand mare she was, had some very good riders of that era, A Robinsion, M Casey, and Micheal Mein, wonder where some of these riders are these days, the later had a good strike rate, for the few times he rode her, was a very good rider of that era, and association with some very good horses,may have even ridden in Australia a few times,think his father was a jockey also, times flies by, but what a golden era of racing it was.
    • Zac Purton has broken Douglas Whyte's Hong Kong all-time win record of 1,813 after scoring at Happy Valley on Wednesday evening. Purton was aboard Spirit Of Peace (Aus) (Harry Angel {Ire}) in the Class 4 Kowloon Park Handicap over 1200 metres, the third race on the card, when he tied Whyte's record. In Wednesday's finale, the Class 3 Victoria Park Handicap, the Australian booted View Of The World (NZ) (Derryn {Aus}) home to bring his all-win record on the island to 1,814 and take the record outright. A multiple champion jockey in Hong Kong, Whyte retired in 2019. Purton, who moved to Hong Kong in 2007, needed just 73 victories to equal Whyte's tally at the start of the 2024/2025 Hong Kong season.
