With all the hype over Champions day will the crowd back up all the hype, surely they can match Addingtons 15000 or so for Cup Day. Our old friend here TAB Forever keeps lavishing praise about how wonderful Auckland is here's the chance for Aucklanders to put into perspective where horse racing fits into the Auckland psychology. For a place that size its crowds mostly are poor, but as many there are migrants most likely just not interested unlike the rest of NZ. -

TDN Conversations is a new monthly podcast series and we are delighted to have been joined this month by Emma Balding, who discusses the history of her breeding operation with Emma Berry. “The whole place had been requisitioned by the Americans during the war, and the stud had been used for a dairy herd,” she says of Kingsclere Stud, which neighbours the historic Park House Stables, where her son Andrew now trains. “So there are remnants still of the fact that it was used for that. The house was taken over and the officers lived in the house.” Balding was a young child when she moved with her parents and brothers to Kingsclere in 1953 and, just as training racehorses has run through generations of her family, so has the breeding of them. This she has continued with skill, achieving notable success, often through utilising some fairly under-the-radar stallions. Plainly, she does not mind flying in the face of fashion. https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Emma-Balding-Conversations-Podcast-v3-1.mp3 Listen to the podcast here. “I don't mind breeding something that goes jumping. I really don't,” she says. “There's a very good market for the sort of horses we're breeding, if they're good enough. And Paul Mellon wasn't afraid of the jumping side of things. In fact, that's how he started in England, by having jumpers. “You do not want your families undermined by moderate jumpers, but I'm never afraid of a good jumper in the family, even when we're buying yearlings.' Both through her involvement with Andrew in selecting young horses such as star stayer Coltrane (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) – a 50,000gns Book 1 yearling with earnings just shy of £1 million – or her breeding of Group 1 winners Elm Park (GB) (Phoenix Reach {Ire}) and Side Glance (GB) (Passing Glance {GB}), Balding has become renowned for her good eye and sound judgement. We are grateful for the support of our podcast sponsor, Saracen Horse Feeds, and we hope you will enjoy listening. Click here to listen to the podcast.

Horantzau d'Airy (Fr) (Legolas {Jpn}) topped the Tattersalls Online March Sale when selling for 50,000gns to Jim Gill. Consigned by Willie Mullins's Closutton Stables, lot 25 has been Grade 1-placed over hurdles, and he was twice third at Grade 3 level in chases last season. He will move to the yard of Michael Keady. “I'm very excited to get him today and Michael is delighted to be training him,” said Gill of his new purchase, who holds an entry in the Grand National next month at Aintree. “Even if he doesn't get into the Grand National, there is a big three-mile chase option for him at the Aintree meeting which he could run in. “I played golf yesterday and had a few pints after, when I set the maximum bid for the horse. I've had plenty of winners on the Flat but I'm new to having National Hunt runners. I really liked the look of him and thought I'd give it a go for the craic.” Shirocco (Ger) mare Lily Du Berlais (GB) brought 42,000gns from Sean McElroy on Tuesday. Lot 35, consigned by Newlands Farm, has won four times for trainer Stuart Crawford in the colours of Simon Munir and Issac Souede. The multiple black-type-placed mare is from the same clan as Bonito Du Berlais (Fr) (Trempolino) and Nikita Du Berlais (Fr) (Poliglote {GB}). Overall, 52 lots sold of 95 offered (55%) for a gross of 435,100gns. The average was 8,367gns and the median was 3,700gns.

The Tattersalls Cheltenham Festival Sale will be held after racing on Day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival, Mar. 13. There are a total of 12 initial entries in the catalogue that was released on Wednesday. Of the dozen lots so far, 11 are winners, 10 of them winning on debut and seven scoring on their first starts as 4-year-olds. Clondaw Park (Ire) (Walk In The Park {Ire}) is one of the highlights, as she ran out an eight-length debut winner at Lisronagh on Feb. 23. Trained by Mick Goff, she is out of a Teofilo (Ire) half-sister to the eight-time Grade 1 winner Nichols Canyon (GB) (Authorized {Ire}). Cristal d'Estruval (Ire) (Crystal Ocean {GB}) became the first point-to-point winner for his sire at Lisronagh on the same card that Clondaw Park triumphed. Point-to-Point winner Bally Free (Ire) (Flemensfirth), from the family of Grade 1-winning chaser Strong Promise (Ire) (Ire), will also be offered. Past sale graduates include the Grade 1 winner Romeo Coolio (GB) (Kayf Tara {GB}), who co-topped the sale in 2023.
