    • 'Horses’ welfare at risk' - TBA fires back at regulator over foal declarations Thoroughbred Breeders Australia has again urged Racing Australia to reconsider its hardline stance over the policing of the mandatory lodgement of foal ownership declarations (FOD). In the latest back-and-forth between the peak breeders organisation and Racing Australia, TBA president Basil Nolan called for a “collaborative approach” when it came to enforcing the rules of racing concerning the lodgment of foal declarations and mare returns. The growing tensions between RA and TBA regarding FODs was first reported by The Straight in May where it was found that, if the harsher focus on compliance was taken last year, one in six foals could have been ruled ineligible to race. “We are united in our desire to see improved traceability amidst our industry’s substantive efforts to advance equine welfare outcomes, however this aggressive approach taken by Racing Australia is an unfair and punitive attack on those people who are at the coalface of protecting our horses’ wellbeing: the breeders,” Nolan said in a TBA statement released on Tuesday. “Breeders have expressed frustration with the current system for lodging mare returns and foal ownership details, describing it as outdated and cumbersome, which not only slows the process but also impacts the time required to complete these returns.” Nolan called on Racing Australia to improve its systems to lodge foal declarations and mare returns. “Rather than introducing harsh penalties that could cripple participants’ livelihoods and put their horses’ welfare at risk, we implore Racing Australia to direct their energies to improving their systems and making the registration of mares and foals a much easier and more efficient online process,” he said. “Like our fellow industry stakeholders, TBA wants to see all horses traceable from birth through to leaving the thoroughbred system, and we believe the way to achieve this is to make the process as simple as possible for our breeders.”

    • 5. Subito, SAR, 7/4, 6 1/2 furlongs (2nd) (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 85 (c, 3, by Speightstown–Uno Duo, by Macho Uno) O/B-Juddmonte (Ky). T-Bill Mott. J-Jose Lezcano. Solid career debut: fought from start to finish inside stablemate Fort Nelson, but stayed on his left lead through the stretch and came up just short in a 32-1 Bill Mott exacta. He's a half-brother to Juddmonte's Grade I winner Obligatory, an earner of $1.38 million also trained by Mott. 4. Fort Nelson, SAR, 7/4, 6 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 86 (c, 3, by Bernardini–Seventh Street, by Street Cry (IRE)) O/B-Godolphin (Ky). T-Bill Mott. J-Junior Alvarado. In the 10 editions of Five Fastest Maidens, Mott has placed 11 horses in the rankings–more than double that of any other trainer–including three this week. This was Fort Nelson's second career start off a nine-month break. Godolphin's two-time Grade I winner Seventh Street and Grade II winner Lake Avenue are his dam and half-sister, respectively. Fort Nelson on the outside of Subito | Sarah Andrew 3. Ewing, SAR, 7/5, 5 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 88, 'TDN Rising Star' (c, 2, by Knicks Go–Sassy Ali Joy, by Indian Charlie) O-D J Stable, West Point Thoroughbreds and Kenneth Frierich. B-John Gardiner (Ky). T-Mark Casse. J-Jose Ortiz. The jury is obviously out on the quality of competition he faced, but a 12-length romp in a Saratoga 2-year-old maiden special weight is always a head turner. His name will draw attention, too. The son of Knicks Go is named in honor of NBA great Patrick Ewing, who played 15 seasons for the New York Knicks (never mind that the South Korean owners of Knicks Go intended his name to be pronounced “Kay-Nicks”….this is America). 2. Fast Town, ELP, 7/6, 6 1/2 furlongs Beyer Speed Figure- 88 (c, 3, by Speightstown–Fast Scene, by Fast Anna) O-WinStar Farm, CHC and Lindy Farms. B-WinStar Farm (Ky). T-Rodolphe Brisset. J-Luan Machado. Ellis Park elbowed into the Beyer action with this quick maiden sprint on its opening weekend. Fast Town showed talent in his 3rd-place debut at Churchill Downs last month, and kicked it up a notch here, running 1.01 seconds faster than veteran older $25,000 claimers two races earlier. 1. Practical Lov, SAR, 7/5, 6 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 88 (f, 3, by Practical Joke–Lovisa, by Speightstown) O-James Preziosi and Debbie Crisp. B-Springhouse Farm & SugarMill (Ky). T-Bill Mott. J-Junior Alvarado. Mott Number Three finally got another fast-track sprint, and narrowly earned the top spot this week by stalking first-timer Gin's Beach Road and then assertively drawing away in the final quarter to a convincing three-length triumph. Three maidens recorded 88 Beyer Speed Figures, but rather than listing them in the rankings as tied, we separated them by fractions of Beyer points. This can be a game of inches.   The post The Five Fastest Maidens, Presented by Taylor Made, for the Week of June 30-July 7 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
