I think a valid point is the fact that clubs only receive commission from oncourse turnover. Reefton's might go a tad further than Ellerslie's. -
I understand, but I thought the assessment was on turnover figures not the type of turnover. Those scenarios have little to do with total turnover in my view. -

It might be the calm before the storm with a pair of Group Ones next week and the Classic Mile the week after, but there are still 11 winners to be found on Sunday’s card at Sha Tin. Jay Rooney is in the hot seat to provide an extended rundown of his selections. Race 1 – Class Five Rugby Sevens Handicap (2,000m) In a field of stayers who struggle to win, Chateau Le Peche could be a value play with a return to the course and distance of his only victory and a good draw. Race 2 – Class Four...View the full article -

Expat Irish jockey Joe Doyle scored an emotional victory in front of his visiting parents at Trentham on Saturday when taking out the Gr.2 Harcourts Thorndon Mile (1600m) aboard Doctor Askar (NZ) (Derryn). The pair settled off the pace early and had just three runners behind them when turning for home, but Doyle guided his charge out wide where he was able to chase down Marotiri Molly (NZ) (Per Incanto) to win by half a head. “I got a good drag into it off Pitman’s horse (Mystic Park (NZ) (Ocean Park)),” Doyle said. “I usually ride him more forward, he doesn’t have to be ridden like that. It wasn’t really until the 200m that he really got down to it and I thought ‘we are going to do this’. I am really happy to get the result.” Doyle was particularly rapt to get the victory in front of his parents. “What a super horse,” he said. “My Mum and Dad are here today, so it was nice to ride a big winner in front of them. “We are horse racing people to the bone and it means everything to us. I am gutted that it is not a Group One still, but any big win on a Saturday is fantastic for super connections, and having Mum and Dad oncourse just adds to it.” Doyle was runner-up on the Joanne Moss-owned and trained gelding in the Gr.3 Phar Lap Trophy (1600m) at Trentham a fortnight ago, and he was bemused by his $10.90 winning odds. “He has been a very good horse to me,” Doyle said. “He was difficult to get going last year, we got to the right side of him, he fired a warning shot on the last day (in the Phar Lap Trophy). I don’t know why he was so friendless on the TAB, we went into it with a fair bit of confidence and he proved us right.” Moss was jubilant following the victory, Doctor Askar’s third at stakes level following his wins in the Gr.3 Easter Handicap (1600m) and Listed Flying Handicap (1400m) last year. “I am really blown away, that was quite a good field,” she said. “I just said to Joe, ‘he has done really well, he has eaten every day, he is working well, I have done my job’. I am absolutely rapt.” The five-year-old son of Derryn had put in a few subpar performances late last year, which Moss admitted to having her stumped, until she found the cause of the problem, a stone bruise. “He had a stone bruise and that took two races,” Moss said. “I didn’t know what was wrong with him, he was still running but wasn’t himself. Once I found that (stone bruise) I rang Joe and told him what I found, so we were back on track.” Moss is yet to lock in Doctor Askar’s next target, but Doyle believes he is better kept to handicaps for now. “I am really rapt with the horse,” he said. “There is more in him in handicaps at this stage and I am hoping he can progress to weight-for-age level.” View the full article -

Classy southern stayer Mayor Of Norwood (NZ) (Ghibellines) showed he will be more than a runner’s chance in the Gr.3 NZ Campus of Innovation & Sport Wellington Cup (3200m) at Trentham in a fortnight when he lumped the topweight of 61kgs to a comprehensive victory in the Skevingtons Waikouaiti Cup (2200m) at Wingatui on Saturday. The Brian and Shane Anderton-prepared seven-year-old had taken the 2025 version of the race and was looking to go back-to-back, albeit with an extra 2.5kgs on his back for regular pilot Corey Campbell. Punters felt the additional handicap, 7kgs more than his nearest rival, was of no consequence and so it proved as he sat relaxed in midfield for Campbell before tracking into contention rounding the home bend. Noble Knight (NZ) (Ghibellines) had shot clear at that point, however, Mayor Of Norwood was winding up strongly and joined issue with 200m to run before forging clear for a comfortable one length victory which indicated he is right where his trainers want him to be ahead of a Wellington Cup hit-and-run mission on 31 January. Shane Anderton was pleased with the win and said he had to show his best to warrant a trip to Trentham. “He was pretty impressive with the big weight today in a good, strong run race which helped him out a lot,” Anderton said. “We knew he was very well, but if we are going to make the big trip up to Trentham he had to win like he did. “Corey knows him well and it was a nice ride as he let him find his feet and get balanced around the home bend before asking for his best. “He has a really good turn of foot as he has won over a mile twice before and we had toyed with running him in the sprint (1400m) instead of this one today. “We did feel though that if he was going to Trentham, the middle distance suited him best and thankfully we pulled the right rein.” By former White Robe Lodge stallion Ghibellines, who passed away late last year, Mayor Norwood is raced by the estate of his breeder, the late Patrick Smith, and is out of the useful race mare Gallant Babe (NZ) (Gallant Guru). He is the younger brother of the stakes placed Capo Dell Impero (NZ) (Ghibellines) who took out the 2024 edition of the Waikouaiti Cup. He has now won eight of his 35 starts, with six of those coming on his home track at Wingatui, and over $281,000 in prizemoney. TAB Bookmakers have shortened him into a $10 Fixed Odds quote for the Wellington Cup where another southerner in Gr.3 Trentham Stakes (2100m) winner Rosso (Camelot) sits as the $3.20 favourite in the market.
