Yeah, the Reefton turn out of the straight certainly caught a rider out in the case you mention. Had been negotiated safely for decades. Definitely rider error, with disastrous consequences. Similar with Hokitika, when a few ran off at tbe turn out of the straight....always a possibility with new riders but not an issue with a bit of nous. Unfortunately the combination of very, very heavy ground on one particular day, along with so many riders now not up to standard, led NZTR to decide that the circuit was not needed, not 'the look' that was required going forward. -
Be good if they'd include that graphic on the published replays. -

Courage Mon Ami, the winner of the 2023 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, has been retired from racing after failing to recover sufficiently from a tibia injury. Trained by John and Thady Gosden, Courage Mon Ami sported the now-familiar silks of Wathnan Racing when defeating Coltrane and Subjectivist in the Gold Cup, having been bought privately by the Emir of Qatar's burgeoning operation after his victory in a Goodwood handicap the previous month, his third win from as many starts for owner-breeder Anthony Oppenheimer. As well as becoming Wathnan's first Group 1 winner when enjoying his career high at Royal Ascot, the son of Frankel was also providing Frankie Dettori with a landmark success in his final season riding in Britain. Sadly, Courage Mon Ami himself has been an infrequent visitor to British racecourses since his Gold Cup win, having been sidelined by injury after his runner-up finish in that season's Lonsdale Cup at York. John Gosden said, “What a day Courage Mon Ami gave us all at Royal Ascot. It was a cool ride by Frankie, but Courage Mon Ami was so determined and he simply wasn't going to be beaten. “For Wathnan to land the Group 1 with just their third runner and be presented with the Gold Cup by the King – what a story! It was a dream start and surely helped ignite a real passion for racing and for Royal Ascot. “Courage Mon Ami is an enormous horse and, though he was so willing in all of his exercise, and we got close a couple of times, he just isn't going to be able to return to racing.” The six-year-old Courage Mon Ami will now move to the Emir of Qatar's Wathnan Stud just outside Doha. Gosden added, “He's a real yard favourite and it's wonderful that he's going to have a splendid retirement where the Emir can visit him. He richly deserves it.” The post Wathnan Racing’s Gold Cup Winner Courage Mon Ami Retired appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

He did a lot of things wrong before and during Tuesday's G3 Prix Thomas Bryon, but ultimately Godolphin's Al Zanati (Dubawi) was able to impose himself on proceedings in the nick of time. Difficult to load and recalcitrant throughout the early stages as William Buick sought to tuck him in behind, the 3-5 favourite who had been runner-up in the G3 Autumn Stakes last month had to close wide in the straight. Knuckling down where it mattered, the homebred cut down compatriot Bourbon Blues (Space Blues) in the final stride for a head success, with fellow Charlie Appleby-trained Pacifica Pier (Palace Pier) 2 1/2 lengths away in third. “I'm pleased we ran him, because it would have annoyed me over the winter had he not been a Stakes winner at two,” Appleby said of Al Zanati. “He's a work in progress, but the engine's there–it's a case of how he is mentally. He can be a challenge some mornings, he's sometimes electric and sometimes workmanlike so it's all about maturity.” “Stepping up in trip will see him improve, but mentally he should improve a lot and his dam was a challenge too,” he added of the winner, who could be about to switch to the dirt with the Kentucky Derby a distant dream at present. “We wanted to see what he was like on the surface and we could look at taking him to Dubai and go the Al Bastakiya route and see where we are. A good strong ten-furlong race will suit.” The post Al Zanati Leaves It Late In The Thomas Bryon, Kentucky Derby On The Horizon? appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
