    • We all hope it works out well for the ATC and Auckland harness racing. They arent actually anyway better than when the Chinese pulled out, in fact with the continuing accrual of monthly interest they are decidedly worse off! They still only have a conditional offer and they could well crash or they come back and renegotiate it down as they know the situation. It is really a cot case and is going to be very very hard to see how the Auckand harness racing scene can thrive. They are losing money on every meeting being run at Alexandra Park, they have no new trainers coming through and many will be retired in a few years at best! Brad Steele thinks that investing into Auckland harness racing is a good thing, well I am sure he would not be investing any of his own money into it, as-he will lose it all! just saying it as it is and more than happy to be proven wrong.

    • The 2025 Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup will feature jockeys from 10 different countries, with Katie Davis, Delphine Santiago and Joanna Mason completing the line up for the team event which takes place at Ascot on Saturday, August 9. French-born Santiago joins captain Per-Anders Graberg (Sweden) and Dario Di Tocco (Italy) in team Europe, while Mason completes the team from Great Britain and Ireland which also features captain Hollie Doyle and Robbie Dolan. Meanwhile, Davis, who was born in Idaho in the USA, will compete in the Shergar Cup for the first time as part of the Rest of the World team, alongside captain Karis Teetan (Mauritius) and Hugh Bowman (Australia). Davis starred in the Netflix series Race for the Crown and has ridden around the world, including in the International Jockeys Challenge in Saudi Arabia. Davis said, “I am so excited to be riding in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup this year. It was amazing to be invited and it should be a great buzz to ride on such a big day at Ascot, one of the most famous racecourses in the world. “I think it's great what they have done with the teams this year and I can't wait to compete with Hugh and Karis in the Rest of the World team along with all the other jockeys from across the globe.” With captain Suraj Narredu from India and Ryusei Sakai and Mirai Iwata from Japan making up the newly-formed Asia team, there will be jockeys from five continents on show.

    • William Buick will deputise for the suspended Colin Keane aboard Field Of Gold when the outstanding son of Kingman lines up in next week's G1 Visit Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. Trained by John and Thady Gosden, Field Of Gold will be bidding for a third consecutive success at the top level, having established himself as the leading three-year-old miler in training with dominant performances in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes. Keane was in the saddle for both of those wins, with his appointment as Juddmonte's number one jockey being announced shortly after he teamed up with Field Of Gold for the first time at the Curragh. However, connections have been forced to look elsewhere for the mount at Goodwood after Keane received a 14-day suspension for using the whip twice above the permitted level at Sandown earlier this month. “I think John and Thady were to talk to William yesterday to confirm his availability and it sounds like they've done that and he's free to ride him, so I'd say that's the plan,” Barry Mahon, Juddmonte's European racing manager, said of the decision to entrust William Buick with the coveted ride at Goodwood. “In fairness, until you get to within a week of the event, you don't know what other trainers and jockeys are doing, but obviously William has been able to commit now which is good. He's a top-class rider and rode a Group 1 winner for us last October on board Kalpana, so it's good to have him on board.” Whilst Mahon confirmed that G1 Lockinge Stakes winner Lead Artist (Dubawi) is unlikely to clash with his stable-mate in the Sussex, Juddmonte look set to be represented in some of the meeting's other feature events, including with Harry Charlton's Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up Cosmic Year (Kingman) and Andrew Balding's Jonquil (Lope De Vega), who filled the same position in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains. “I'd say Cosmic Year will run in the Thoroughbred Stakes, the Group 3 over a mile. At the minute that's the plan,” Mahon added. “Jonquil worked nicely this morning and he's a probable to run in the [G2] Lennox over seven [furlongs]. “Lead Artist is in the Sussex, but I'd say he's more likely to wait. He won't run against Field Of Gold I'd imagine, so I'm not sure what the plans are for him at this stage.” The post William Buick Confirmed for Field Of Gold Ride at Goodwood appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
