So why not let some of the restricted punters on for reasonable amounts to see if they can pluck $ off them? At the end of the day the odds are always in favour of the TAB? Where is their sporting spirit?? -

Legendary trainer Kevin Prendergast has died at the age of 91. Prendergast won eight Irish Classics and managed the careers of some significant horses like Nebbiolo, Pidget, Artique Royale, Northern Treasure and Oscar Schindler right up throught to Awtaad, who won the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh in 2016. His sole English Classic success came when Nebbiolo won the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket in 1977. A son of “Darkie”, himself a legendary trainer in his own right, Prendergast was a leading amateur jockey before embarking on his training career in 1963. One of Irish racing's all-time greats, Prendergast sent out winners for seven different decades.

A $720,000 race day has been announced for Ashburton Raceway this December. A total of 12 finals will be held but they will be only open to trotters and pacers whose sire stood for an advertised retail service fee of $5,000 or less in the breeding season of conception. The “Harness 5000” finals will be for 3YO, 4YO and 5YO and older Fillies and Mares and Colts, Geldings and Entires for both gaits. Each final will carry a stake of $60,000 and will be limited to a field size of 14 runners. “This is a concept we are very excited about,” says HRNZ’s Head of Racing and Wagering Matthew Peden, “it’s a real ‘grassroots’ series.” If the format sounds familiar it is. “It certainly has a Harness Jewels feel about it,” says Peden, “we have taken notice of the things that worked there but adapted it significantly.” “We believe this is the perfect showcase to encourage and reward breeders and owners who have supported these stallions, while ensuring there is now a clear and meaningful pathway for stallions across the entire spectrum of service fees.” Ashburton hosted the first of the Harness Jewels meetings in 2007. It featured nine races for the 2YO,3YO and 4YOs (Pacing Fillies and Mares and Colts and Geldings, and Trotters). The last of the series was in 2021. Like the Harness Jewels, qualifying for the Harness 5000 Finals will be done solely on stake money won, with the top 14 in each category making the Finals Day on December 21. For this year the qualifying period will be between July 3 and December 9, 2025. To be eligible, horses must compete in at least 5 race day starts within this period. With a commitment from Harness Racing New Zealand to run this series for at least the next 5 years, the qualifying period in 2026 will be between January 1 and November 29. “We really think this is going to be a popular addition to the calendar, with not only stimulus within the breeding industry, but also an opportunity for an increase in domestic trading of horses” says Peden.

by Jordyn Bublitz It was a rewarding night at Cambridge Raceway for trainer Owen Gillies and the connections of Kumanovo, as the mare notched her second win in just three starts. Driven confidently by Zachary Butcher, Kumanovo showed a strong turn of foot to take out the Gavelhouse.com Handicap Trot, validating Gillies’ belief in her ability. It’s been a bit of a journey getting the daughter of Father Patrick back to the races, and Gillies couldn’t be prouder of how she’s coming to hand. “She’s been a hard horse to handle, and it hasn’t been easy” he laughed. “She should’ve been ready to go probably six months ago, but she came into season really bad and stayed there for a good two or three months. We had to throw her back in the paddock for another month!” The five-year-old was only fair when finishing fifth last week, but Gillies wasn’t discouraged by the effort. “She had a couple weeks between runs there and was probably just a little unfit” he explained. “She’s not a very good doer and she’s quite nervy, so I don’t work her hard in between races. I said to Zach after her last start ‘we’ll back her up and see if she goes any better’. I thought she’d be winning”. And win she did, putting in a sharp performance that reaffirmed the talent Gillies has always seen in her. “She’s always had a bit of ability, and she’s got a lot of speed. It’s just been a matter of getting her head in the game.” Gillies was quick to acknowledge the patience of her owner Cameron Mackie, who’s stood by during the mare’s interrupted preparation. “I’m really lucky with her owner, we’ve had to give her a lot of time off and he hasn’t worried about it. I’ve got to take my hat off to him really, he could’ve just as easily sent her to someone else, but he stuck with us.” As for what’s next, the team has their sights set on Auckland. “The plan now is to try and get her trotting right-handed so we can look at taking her to Alexandra Park. The stakes are better up there, hopefully we can get her right.” View the full article -
