    • So why retire her?  Te Akau made a business decision based on the vet report and her broodmare potential.  BTW what would be the cost of insuring a mare worth around $6m for a year? I know it costs $26k per year to insure a filly that's valued at $600k.
    • What Happy Valley Races Where Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong When Wednesday, May 22, 2024 First Race 6:40pm HKT (8:40pm AEST) Visit Dabble Hong Kong racing returns to the bright lights of Happy Valley on Wednesday evening, with a competitive nine-part program kicking off at 6:40pm local time. The rail is in the C+3 position, and with rain continuing to fall in the lead-up, punters should expect a yielding track. Check out our best bets and quaddie numbers below. Best Bet: Telecom Speed Telecom Speed was nailed on the wire at this course and distance on May 8 after a torrid run in transit. The son of Street Boss travelled three deep on speed for the entire journey, unable to gain any cover before being asked for the ultimate effort. The run had plenty of merit under testing circumstances, and with Angus Chung’s 1.5kg claim giving him some relief in the weights, Telecom Speed looks set to go one better in this competitive Class 4 contest. Best Bet Race 6 – #1 Telecom Speed (2) 6yo Gelding | T: Me Tsui | J: Angus Chung (1.5kg) (61kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best: Fighting Machine Fighting Machine was beaten by 5.3 lengths first-up at Happy Valley on May 1 and didn’t have much luck. He was forced back to last from barrier 12 before getting baulked for a run early in the straight, with the gelding by War Decree unable to go through his gears. He’s drawn awkwardly again in gate 10, but with a positive steer from the outset, watch for Fighting Machine to get across to mid-field with cover before exploding in the final furlong. Next Best Race 3 – #2 Fighting Machine (10) 4yo Gelding | T: Pierre Ng | J: Zac Purton (60kg) Bet with Bet365 Best Value: Draco Draco missed the start on debut at Sha Tin on April 20 but recovered well to finish within four lengths of Multisuper. He had to be ridden up to hold a position under Vincent Ho, with the son of Deep Field using his energy early to stay within striking distance. Now that he has some race-day experience under his belt, punters should expect dramatic improvement from Draco second-up. Best Value Race 2 – #2 Draco (8) 3yo Gelding | T: Francis Lui | J: Lyle Hewitson (58kg) Bet with Bet365 Hong Kong Wednesday quaddie tips Happy Valley quadrella selections Wednesday, May 22, 2024 1-2-8 1-3-8-11 1-2-4-6-7-11 2-4-5-7-12 Horse racing tips View the full article
    • What Warwick Farm Races Where Warwick Farm Racecourse – 2 Hume Hwy, Warwick Farm NSW 2170 When Wednesday, May 22, 2024 First Race 12:50pm AEST Visit Dabble Metro racing returns to Warwick Farm on Wednesday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-race program set for decision. The rail is out +3m for the entire circuit, and although the surface is rated a Soft 7 at the time of acceptances, the sunny skies predicted in the lead-up should have the track upgraded into the Good range prior to the opening event at 12:50pm local time. Below are HorseBetting’s free Warwick Farm betting tips for May 22. Best Bet at Warwick Farm: Little Jeanie Little Jeannie broke her maiden with relative ease last start at Canterbury on April 17. The daughter of Savabeel was never in doubt after lobbing into the one-one under James McDonald, bounding away to score by 1.5 lengths. She won with plenty in hand to suggest she can go on with the job, even though this BM68 presents tougher opposition. Best Bet Race 2 – #4 Little Jeanie (2) 3yo Filly | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (58kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best at Warwick Farm: Inquiring Minds Inquiring Minds managed a runner-up performance at Kembla Grange on April 20, giving a good account of himself on his Australian debut. The European import was cast wide throughout and knuckled down to the task despite the torrid run in transit. He’ll strip fitter for that effort, and with James McDonald set to gain an economical run from stall six, watch for Inquiring Minds to be launching down the centre of the course. Next Best Race 3 – #5 Inquiring Minds (6) 4yo Horse | T: John O’Shea | J: James McDonald (58.5kg) Bet with Neds Best Value at Warwick Farm: Perennial Perennial found himself in the unfamiliar leading role at Rosehill on April 27 and faded out to be beaten by 3.8 lengths; however, punters should be willing to forgive the effort. It was the first time the Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich-trained galloper had missed the frame in five career starts, and as he heads to this wide-open BM64 contest, Perennial can get back to winning ways at a enticing price with online bookmakers. Best Value Race 5 – #2 Perennial (4) 3yo Gelding | T: Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich | J: Chelsea Hillier (a3kg) (62kg) Bet with Unibet Wedneday quaddie tips – 22/5/2024 Warwick Farm quadrella selections Wednesday, May 22, 2024 4-6-7-13 1-2-4-9 2-4-5-6-9 3-4-5-8-14 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
    • Ellis is adamant there was nothing structurally wrong with Imperatriz barring the general wear and tear most top-level horses show but their veterinary advice was a broodmare career was her best path. Ellis says while Imperatriz is being offered as a broodmare and they would not race her, there is no horse welfare or health issues that would stop her racing again. “The decision to retire her was made because of wear and tear but we also realise that whoever is lucky enough to buy her has the option to put her back in training,” Ellis told the Herald. “Whoever buys her is buying a very special horse and a very valuable one, so I’m sure they will be surrounded by good people. “I realise if a racing career was considered, it would be with a leading trainer and you’d trust that person to make the right decisions based on how she was.   “There’s nothing that would stop her racing on, so if that’s what happens I’m sure she’ll be in good hands.”
