You wouldn't have been wanting to watch the race, which I didn't. The horse drew the widest and therefore allowed to race at the back of the field, a slow mid race tempo, then came 8 wide on the turn, went past the rest of the field as though they were standing still, on a 320m straight and was stopped riding 30m short of the post. And it was a good field too, Agera for instance has won 8 races from 26 starts for 350K. Hard to fathom racing sometimes, and it was after a long road trip to Trentham, 8 days previously. This was the Facebook comment pre-race 4:11 p.m. R7 6 What You Wish For (5 g Embellish – Grand Wish) – Wiremu Pinn; he came to the end of his run out of midfield in the Group 3 Manawatu Cup over 2300m on 20 December at Trentham, and contests the $100,000 Harcourts Taupo Cup (Open Handicap, 2000m). Gee is a previous course winner and stakes’ winner over 2000 metres, which will stand him in good stead but the challenge for him to notch up another win is his shocker of a draw (15). Fixed odds: $7.50 & $2.70. -
Throughout this period, we assume that Foxton, Levin and Opaki continue as training only venues.

Peter Alafonginis, owner, Northern Tier Farm I foresee only approximately five major tracks open in the USA and a few smaller one-mile tracks for the second-tier horse. They will have, dirt, grass and synthetic surfaces at each of the major venues. And their lesser counterparts will hopefully have a combination of surfaces as well. Steeplechase venues will grow in number and quality, incorporating a country-club environment with clubhouse and parimutuel betting. These facilities will combine other aspects of the Thoroughbreds' life after racing. Equitation, shows, hunt events, even polo on the same ground. Hotel, eateries, a golf course as well in these more rural locations. Betting will expand as will the technology on the horse and jockey, documenting the well being and the race live from each entrant. Like other sports, people can pick their favorite and be a part of that classic horse's experience as say a fan of an NFL team. Most gambling on daily races will be done remotely. Only weekend racing seeing any major attendance and that might be seasonal rather than year-round as well. Horses need a rest, too! It is a bright future and it will require development of fan bases across the country rather than a reliance of slots for purse money.
