    • if what you said actually played out ,then yes that would make sense. But it doesn't and has never done so. Your making an argument that simply ignores reality. trainers/owners know that pushing their young horses to enable them to be a likely also ran in a high stake race is rather pointless and often counterproductive. its been like that for decades.How long a pattern do people have to have befiore they see something. Administrators can ignore the obvious,but its obvious to everyone else.. administrators woke up a little with their 2 year old bonuses this year and announced and in effect announced,hey these 2 year old bonuses we have been paying,well,duh,they failed to get any more starters so what we will try next is ,lets pay them $4000 to run last at their first 2 year old start if a horse meets the sale conditions..In other words they admitted they had failed but doubled down on failure and went again with another hair brained scheme that benefitted only a very small % of the industry.

    • Marvin Rafael Fernandez, a 35-year-old apprentice jockey at Delaware Park who rode a 228-1 shot to a third-place finish while beaten only half a length last Thursday, had his license rescinded the next day by that track's stewards, who determined that over the course of three probationary races Oct. 15 and 16 in which Fernandez twice finished in the money, his “performance was not satisfactory to the standards required to hold the license.” Fernandez, who has five lifetime mounts in 2024-25 and had been riding last week under “temporary” licensure at the 10-pound apprentice level, will be allowed to retain his exercise riding license, according to the Oct. 17 ruling signed by Delaware stewards Joelyn Rigione, Robert Colton and William Troilo. Although Fernandez had no other rulings issued against him during his probationary period and there were no mentions of adverse incidents in either the official charts or the daily stewards' reports for the two dates he rode last week, the stewards did order him to appear at the next-day film reviews after each of his rides on Oct. 15 and 16 for “crop” reasons, according to footnotes in the daily reports. In the third race Oct. 15 (video), Fernandez's 19-1 mount was near the back for most of a nine-horse claiming route and ended up beating only one other eased entrant. In the fourth race Oct. 16 (video), Fernandez's 6-1 mount led from the rail for most of a four-horse claiming sprint before being overtaken by a 3-10 favorite in deep stretch while holding on for second. In the sixth race Oct. 16 (video), Fernandez, aboard the 228-1 Midnight Getaway (Midnight Storm), “bumped with an inner foe at the start, rated in the four path, swung out to the seven path turning into the lane, and rallied for show,” according to the Equibase chart. The Delaware meet ended the next racing date, Saturday, Oct. 18. Attempts to reach both Fernandez and the Delaware Park stewards' office on Monday were unsuccessful.

    • Tuesday, Curragh, post time: 15:17, STAFFORDSTOWN STUD STAKES-G3, €36,000, 2yo, f, 8fT Field: Cameo (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Caught U Sleeping (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}), Ice Dancer (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Ifweonlyhavelove (Fr) (Recoletos {Fr}), La Fogata (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Stars Will Shine (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Sugar Island (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Thundering On (GB) (Frankel {GB}). TDN Analysis: Without the customary Ballydoyle standout, this is wide-open and could go to one of the unexposed maiden winners. Stars Will Shine impressed at Down Royal and may have more upside than stablemate Caught U Sleeping despite that runner having been third to Diamond Necklace in the Listed Ingabelle Stakes last month. Thundering On is of intrigue, bypassing the many maidens on offer at the moment which shows what Joseph O'Brien thinks of Shapoor Mistry's homebred daughter of his star mare Thundering Nights.
