    • Looked a the thoroughbred version, thought the odds were very poor, unless you were planning on taking those that won't even get a start, I'm sure the odds on the tote be better on the day, they'll have to be much more brave to temp me.

    • By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk It’s a matter of when, not if, for the country’s top driver Blair Orange. The seven-time premiership winner is vying to become just the fourth driver in this country’s harness racing history to crack the 3000-win barrier, joining Tony Herlihy (3717 wins), Maurice McKendry (3429) and Ricky May (3189). With his career tally now at 2996, he has six drives at Addington today. Any win will of course inch him closer to his milestone, though he’s hardly brimming confidence ahead of the midweek eight race programme. “They are a bit of a mixed bag,” Orange says of his drives, “we will need a bit of luck.” Three of his drives will be for Michael House, starting with The Beach House in the first, The Lather Up – World Class Sire, Real World Value Mobile Pace. He’s drawn one over 1980 metres. “He was honest last week and looks a good top three top four chance.” Stablemate and last start winner Million Dollar Chic will be Orange’s drive in race 2, the American Ideal – A Lasting Legacy Mobile Pace (5.10pm). “He did win well last time but we will need a bit of luck from the outside draw.” Another House runner Courage Reactor has also drawn wide in Race 5, the Sweet Lou – The Future Is Sweet Mobile Pace (6.55pm). The six-year-old mare comes into the race on the back of two thirds. “She is a sit-sprinter so we just wait to see how things unfold,” says Orange. Both Million Dollar Chic ($3) and Courage Reactor ($3.60) opened as favourite in their respective races. Five win trotter Special Effects ($5.50) will again be handled by Orange in Race 6, the Speeding Spur – The Trotting Titan Handicap Trot (7.30pm). The Father Patrick gelding broke last start. “I take some of the responsibility for him galloping,” says Orange, “I will be a little more cautious at the start and he is with a chance.” Orange’s other two drives on the night will be Without Comparison (Race 3) and Fear Gogh (Race 8). So far this season Orange has 141 wins to be 36 clear of closest challenger Tim Williams. His latest win was with Tokyo Rose in Sunday’s Placemakers Oamaru Cup. Racing today starts at 4.35pm.  To see the Addington fields click here    View the full article
    • A 25% ownership interest in GI Breeders' Cup Sprint contender and future WinStar stallion Mullikin (Violence) has been supplemented to the Keeneland Championship Sale held at Del Mar Oct. 29, the company announced Tuesday.

The interest is offered as property of WinStar Farm. “Our participation in the Keeneland Championship Sale with our Breeders' Cup Sprint entrant, Mullikin, is an opportunity to run for $2 million in 72 hours and have a stallion to boot,” WinStar President, CEO and Racing Manager Elliott Walden said. “We're offering more than just a percentage of a Breeders' Cup contender; this is an interest in an accomplished racehorse with a promising stallion career ahead at WinStar Farm.” Interested parties may call Liam O'Rourke at 859 351-4213 for additional information about this offering.

    • The Goffs October HIT and Yearling Sale at Doncaster on Tuesday was topped by up-and-coming hurdler Lord, who sold to Donald McCain for £70,000. Sold as lot 58 by trainer Olly Murphy, the three-year-old son of Best Solution is on a three-race winning streak over hurdles after finishing second on his hurdling debut. The dual placed hurdler King John Oliver (Karaktar) (lot 95) was offered by Rahinston Stud and caught the eyes of Olly and Aiden Murphy for £54,000. Rounding out the top three was the bumper-placed Answer That (Holy Roman Emperor) (lot 91), who changed hands for £30,000 to Highflyer Bloodstock from Anthony McCann. The yearling portion was topped by a daughter of Mehmas and Never Say Never (No Nay Never) at £40,000. Yapham Manor Stud consigned the relative of G1 Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp heroine Gilt Edge Girl (Monsieur Bond), who sold to Bond Thoroughbred, Ltd. Of the 92 horses offered, 67 sold (73%) for a gross of £839,500 (+10%). The average rose 52% to £12,530 and the median increased 150% to £10,000. Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent said, “These sales are designed to serve as an outlet at the end of the summer and after the major yearling sales and we would like to extend our thanks to the Brookhouse family for selecting Goffs to offer their dispersal. Their draft was well received and we are grateful for the support from others including Kevin Ryan who sent a large draft to Doncaster. However, we could always do with more horses as we have proved time and again that we get the prices if given the chances and this is something that we must continually remind our clients when selling horses of any sector – there is an alternative, and we are it. “We now look forward to returning to Doncaster at the end of the month for the NH Breeders Showcase plus, for the first time this year, we are holding a new dedicated online yearling sale on our new online sales platform – GoffsGo. Entries for this new sale are due by 6 November and the sale will be held on Thursday, 13 November.” The post Lord Tops Goffs October HIT And Yearling Sale At £70,000 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
