the consistently unfair standing starts over 2000metres continue! They need to either stop having them or get a starter who knows what he or she is doing? It is not professional and a poor indictment on harness racing! Anyone could start standing starts far better than what is happening. There were horses in a full blown run up prior to the tape being let go and he thinks that is fair? seriously?? HRNZ act now they have to be cleaned up or just have mobiles! -

It's been a long time between drinks for Vahva (Gun Runner), the 2024 GI Derby City Distaff Stakes winner whose last career win came exactly a year ago in the Chicago Stakes at Churchill Downs, when it was a Grade III event. Upgraded to Grade II this year, the Chicago Stakes was targeted by Vahva's connections after the now-5-year-old made no impact in this year's edition of the Derby City Distaff. Irad Ortiz, Jr. kept her a little closer to the pace than usual in the Chicago, as she tracked 62-1 Gray Lightning (Social Inclusion) through fractions of :22.82 and :45.26. On the far turn, Claret Beret (Not This Time) joined Vahva to her outside as she pounced on Gray Lighting and the two raced in tandem for several strides. Classy as ever, Vahva edged free to defend her Chicago win by about a length despite Claret Beret–winner of a May 11 Gulfstream handicap by 19 3/4 lengths–holding her own while drifting slightly. Multiple stakes winner Zeitlos (Curlin) got up for third. The final time for the seven furlongs was 1:20.89. Sales History: $280,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP. O-Belladonna Racing LLC, Lynne Hudson, Edward J.

Chaos as $4 million horse loses mind and kicks out at handler Moments after winning $1 million, chaos has unfolded as a spooked racehorse sent a handler through the rails with a hellacious kick. Sam Morgan - The Sun 2 min read June 22, 2025 - 9:16AM Minutes after winning a fortune, a horse has run wild and kicked out towards a handler. https://bitofayarn.com Chaos hit Royal Ascot when winning horse Lazzat almost drop-kicked a groundsworker in the head after getting loose and going mad on Sunday morning. The Wathnan-owned sprinter just bagged more than $1 million for winning the Group 1 Platinum Jubilee Stakes over six furlongs. The Sun reports. But when jockey James Doyle was about to be interviewed by ITV, the 9-2 winner appeared to get spooked by a cloth being raised in front of him. Like a red rag to a bull, the fired-up four-year-old dumped Doyle to the turf, turned round and then galloped off down the track. The horse was spooked following victory in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS / AFP. Jockey James Doyle falls off Lazzat. Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS / AFP. Reacting to the scary scenes live, ITV Racing pundit Jason Weaver shouted: “The sheet! Oh no, he’s had a howler with the sheet!” While host Ed Chamberlin said: “Lazzat won but that’s a dramatic aftermath (the likes of which) I’ve never seen before at Royal Ascot.” Lazzat sent the handler through the rails. Photo: X. Groundsworkers tried their best to calm the horse as he hit top stride at the Berkshire track. But it came inches from turning incredibly nasty indeed when Lazzat, who was cornered by three men, lashed out with his hind legs at one of them. He just missed his head but the man fell through the running rail like a drunk boxer through the ropes. Two racegoers at Royal Ascot hurled punches in a wild fight at the races. ITV cameras showed Lazzat jogging merrily around on his own, a long, long way from the finish post he had just passed.
