The memories flood back, certainly was a great era of racing, from memory starships started off a long mark on the grass at Westport before heading to Auckland, being placed in the cup, Basisl Dean was one of my favorite trotters, how good was he. -

Keen to make “a solid contribution to Britain's bloodstock breeding industry”, Chloe Roddick and Philip Maloney have recruited Idaho (Galileo) from his previous base at Beeches Stud to stand at their new farm, Skuttells Barrough Stud, in Somerset. Having stood under the Coolmore banner from his retirement to stud in 2019, the G2 Hardwicke and G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes winner Idaho – a brother to Highland Reel – currently has first-crop five-year-olds to represent him. These include Idaho Sun, a three-time winner for Harry Fry who is current favourite for an introductory hurdle at Ascot on Friday. Idaho, now 12, will join Arrigo, a Shirocco half-brother to late German champion sire Adlerflug, at Skuttells Barrough. The latter has stood the last two seasons in England at Bulbrook Farm, the former home of Roddick and Maloney. “It is an honour to be able to stand Idaho alongside Arrigo,” Roddick said. “We are immensely grateful to Gerry Aherne of Coolmore Stud for arranging Idaho's transfer, as we are to the Futter family of Yorton Stud who helped us get off the ground by organising Arrigo's move. “Idaho was a tough and top-class racehorse who raced over four seasons, travelled the world and earned £1.2m on the racecourse, He gained victories at courses as diverse as Royal Ascot and Chester and was placed in the Epsom Derby, the Irish Derby and the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes. He raced against the best and his early crops of foals are producing winners under rules and in point-to-points.” Skuttles Barrough Stud is based near the village of Wedmore in England's National Hunt racing heartland. Roddick added, “We were keen to secure our family's future by purchasing our own property. We bought 35 acres of bare farm land and for the past year have been building a stud with all the facilities needed to cater for stallions, walk-in and boarding mares. “We welcome visits from mare owners and believe that with two handsome stallions in Idaho and Arrigo we can make a solid contribution to Britain's bloodstock breeding industry.” Idaho and Arrigo will each stand the 2026 season at a fee of £2,000.

I can't comment on either of those contributions but, it's all about the quality of content. I wouldn't have thought it would be the job of Te Akau or Wexford to drive turnover though. Whatever they are putting out is for their own benefit. -

I see Winton JC is racing at Ascot Park on Sunday. Someone on here can correct me if I am wrong but, I thought thoroughbreds were still trained there, and harness race there. Why on earth do the gallopers not race there too? -

That's an interesting comment. The racecourses that are deemed to be surplus and thus judged in the amateur hobby category and should be sold will be the freehold ones. To me that would make those debt free clubs self sustaining businesses. Yet those which have been managed with some professionalism need to be sold to prop up the dysfunctional and poorly managed clubs. The sad thing about these decisions is that someone is getting paid good money to make them.
