    • I think your attitude personifies all that is wrong with Clubs.
    • It took every inch of the 1 3/8 miles, but Mrs. Astor got up in time to successfully defend her title in the $100,000 Red Carpet Stakes (G3T) at Del Mar Nov. 23.View the full article
    • one of the other pre race interviews yesterday,with ben hope ,resulted in what i thought were odd comments. he was commenting on his drive on muscle mountain in the dominion on cup day. He said he didn't give the horse the run it deserved and indicated he felt he had let the horse down. Now i'm all for just saying what happened all the time,no sugar coating something when someone has made a bad tactical decision,especially if they aren't trying. But if you watched the video,he really had no other options ,other than to cover more ground than he wanted in the first round. Its just the way it turned out. Hopes won 39 races on that horse and well over a million $ ,but he was beating himself up because he strikes a race where hes dictated where he settled by his draw and how the other divers drove early.An unrealistic post race analysis by him, i thought. oh well,i suppose it gives an insight into how theres pressure in race driving and that all drivers deal with it in their own way.
    • 8th-Del Mar, $61,500, Msw, 11-23, 2yo, f, 6 1/2f, 1:16.75, ft, 1 3/4 lengths. NIMAH (f, 2, Gun Runner–E. T. Indy, by A.P. Indy) went right to the front on this debut and led the pack through an opening quarter in :22.49 and four furlongs in :45.07. Clearing her inside rivals and challenged by Miss Watermelon (Cairo Prince) at the three-eighths pole, she was called on for more at the head of the lane to keep that rival at bay by 1 3/4 lengths. The victress is a half-sister to course record-setter My Indy (English Channel), SP, $221,804 and two other winners. Nimah, a $550,000 purchase last year at the FTSAUG sale, is the most recent to the races for E.T. Indy, who has since produced a yearling colt by Oxbow. The mare went to Elite Power for 2026. This is the immediate female family of Grade I winner Fantastic Look (Green Dancer), herself dam of GISW Designed for Luck (Rahy). Sales history: $550,000 Ylg '24 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

    • I'm intrigued by your reference to Des's jackpot. Memory not that good. Could that be Des Coppins? As for Des Coppins I think even though he is getting on racing can still benefit from his expertise say in linking racing to tourism sponsorship. Des  organized the Melbourne Cup expeditions. I note someone on the new NZTR regime has been in Tourism therefore a scheme whereby syndication overseas encourages tourists into NZ visiting the trainer and local enterprises and thus making links. Otherwise the tourist would only pass through the location perhaps only getting to know the barmaid.
