    • White Abarrio (Race Day), listed as the even-money favorite in Saturday's GIII Mr. Prospector Stakes at Gulfstream, will be scratched, reports co-owner Mark Cornett. Cornett said that the ownership team and trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. have decided instead to train the veteran up to the Jan. 24 GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational. White Abarrio was an easy winner of the 2024 Pegasus. “We don't want to run in the Mr. Prospector anymore because we have come up with a plan for him,” Cornett said. “The main goal has been the Pegasus. Depending on how he runs there, we will point him to a 7-year-old campaign and the (March 28 G1) Dubai World Cup. That will be the next goal after the Pegasus. “The goal wasn't necessarily about winning the Mr. Prospector. It was about setting him up for the Pegasus. But after further discussion we're just going to train him up to the Pegasus. We threw him into this race pretty much because they entered seven days out here. We wanted to take a look and see if we wanted to run him in the race like we did last year. “Since we're going to keep him in training for a 7-year-old campaign, we'll go right into the Pegasus with him, so he'll be nice and fresh for the rest of his campaign. This race wasn't going to do anything for us. Saffie and I went over things pretty extensively about any concerns we might have about his fitness level since he'll be off a long time between races. This horse seems to relish the time off in between races, so that's not even a concern.” This will make two straight races in which White Abarrio has been withdrawn. He was on the track and headed to the gate for the Nov. 1 GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile when a veterinarian deemed that there was something wrong and had him scratched. The owners have said all along that White Abarrio was not having any problems at all that day. “There's no problem now and there wasn't any problem that day,” Cornett said. “We had to breeze him five-eighths. That was one of the requirements the CHRB had after they put him on the vet's list. We breezed him five-eighths basically as quickly as we could. That got him off the vet's list right away. He has never showed us any signs of any problem. We're still very flustered by what happened.” The post White Abarrio To Be Scratched From Mr. Prospector appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Is 600 as they say a good crowd ? I actually thought some of the racing presented on trackside yesterday rather average, Otaki was a damp squib,with poor fields Wingatui was okish, Westport is being hampered a little with small fields, Ellerslie was ok. Or maybe getting older it' just don't spin my wheels these days lol. It seems aussie meetings are mostly run of the mill meetings, guess they work on the theory that being holidays the public turnout would be good, and probably is, but the big dates are better away from holiday time when people are more focused, this is the silly season.
    • By Jonny Turner  The southern harness racing scene could be even more important to Stonewall Stud after the MLT Gore Cup on Saturday (4.24pm). Trainers Steve and Amanda Telfer go into the Gore Christmas Trots meeting as equal record holders for the most wins in a New Zealand harness racing season with Roy and Barry Purdon (1993-94). The Stonewall Stud trainers have two chances to make the record their own and bag their 169th win of the year when Double Jeopardy and Slots start in the MLT Gore Cup. The Telfer team have racked up plenty of wins in Southland this season – including their last three victories as they equalled the long-standing record of the Purdons on Invercargill Cup Day. Punters are backing the stable to make history on Saturday with Double Jeopardy and Slots the first and second favourites for the MLT Gore Cup respectively. With more racing under his belt and plenty of experience in country cups, the Stonewall camp feel the market has it right with Double Jeopardy rated the top pick. “Double Jeopardy is pretty experienced in this grade now and he has the racing under his belt,” the stable’s number one reinsman Tim Williams said. “His run in the Geraldine Cup was good behind The Lazarus Effect, and we have tried to be patient with him since then because this looks like quite a suitable race for him.” Getting a handicap advantage over his main rivals, including his stablemate, looks to be the key to Double Jeopardy’s chances. It’s an advantage the pacer is a good chance of maintaining early in the Gore Cup with his excellent standing start manners. “He is generally pretty safe, not always the fastest, but fingers crossed he can get away nicely on Saturday.” “If he does, I am sure he will go a pretty good race.” While Slots may not have as much standing start experience as his stablemate, there is no doubting the pacer has the game to run a big race in the Gore Cup. Slots missed away in his last standing-start run at the end of his last campaign, but placed in his prior two runs from behind the tapes in handy line-ups. “He’s just had the one trial coming into this and you can’t beat race fitness.” “But he seems well and the team have been happy with him.” “He showed last time that he is up to this kind of company, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he went a nice race.” Blair Orange will link up with Slots on Saturday. Williams will also drive Party Up Denario and Stylish Lustre, who both look each-way threats on the Gore card. To see the market for the Gore Cup click here  View the full article
