    • I know most trainers I still talk to regularly, training fees tend to cover all of the necessities for them regarding dog food, transport, utilities etc and the winnings tend to be bonuses (obviously the stake split tends to be 70-80% to the owner). They also own 1 or 2 dogs outright to get bonuses. Most trainers with more then 15 to 20 dogs, it would be there main source of income.   A limit on racing greyhound numbers would really only impact probably the top 7, although people like fahey and cole probably have enough quality dogs to breed and sell the ones that are not c5/his best.
    • Why did she need a vet check?
    • Ever ridden a horse at 60 clicks when a leather broke Newmarket? I have and I fell off too. Probably my piss poor riding. HAPPY FIELD (N Hailey) - Lost its rider passing the 1300 metres after the right stirrup leather broke. N Hailey was stood down requiring a medical clearance prior to riding next. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which revealed no abnormalities.  
    • El Vencedor will contest the Listed Fulton Family Stakes (1500m) at Ellerslie on Saturday Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) With his eighth Group One assignment just around the corner, El Vencedor will head to Ellerslie on Saturday for a final tune-up in the Listed Fulton Family Stakes (1500m). El Vencedor has competed at Group One level in seven of his last nine starts, starting with a second in the Thorndon Mile (1600m) in January of last year. He went on to run fourth in the Otaki-Maori WFA Classic (1600m), then ran his rivals into the ground to score a superb front-running upset win in the Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes (2000m) in March. The son of Shocking was unplaced in his first three starts at the elite level this season, in the Arrowfield Stud Plate (1600m), Livamol Classic (2040m) and Mufhasa Classic (1600m), but turned that form around with an outstanding last-start third behind Snazzytavi and La Crique in the Zabeel Classic (2000m) on Boxing Day. “He ran a huge race in the Zabeel and it took a couple of top-class mares to beat him that day,” trainer Stephen Marsh said. El Vencedor’s next target is the Group 1 Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) at Te Rapa on February 8. Marsh kept him up to the mark with a six-length trial win at Matamata on January 14, and the six-year-old gelding will cap his preparation in Saturday’s $100,000 feature at Ellerslie. His three previous starts at the Auckland track have produced wins in the Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes and Group 3 Balmerino Stakes (2000m), along with that last-start Zabeel Classic placing. “We’ve been very happy with the horse since Boxing Day,” Marsh said. “He was great in that trial. We’re mainly treating this race as a pipe-opener for the Herbie Dyke. But even though it’s a step down in distance and he’s got a big weight (61kg), he’s in such good order and goes so well at Ellerslie that I wouldn’t be surprised if he was very competitive.” Horse racing news View the full article
