    • Ellerslie had the advantage of having no trackworkers whilst upgrading the track but, still didn't get it right first time despite employing experts. For me it's hard to fathom a final rush with these massive projects.  Does this happen in other industries? As for Awapuni, I can't be drawn into comments given for whatever reason as a back up for actions already undertaken.  Somebody must be responsible for what transpires.  All the industry wants is for the track to be usable and safe, however long that takes.

    • Looks like it, engaged for Marieke's horse at Woodville.  Why not, if riding work and fit?  I see Erin's current listed riding weight is 56.5kg.
    • The Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai Gimcrack Stakes at York on Friday, August 22 is to be run in honour of the late Tom Lacy, the legendary trainer and breeder who died last month at the age of 89. The move comes at the request of Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai founder and CEO Malih Al Basti, who said, “Tom's achievements as a trainer and breeder are well documented, but he was also an inspiration and mentor to a great many who thrived n the racing industry thanks to his generosity, support and encouragement. “Adding Tom's name to the Al Basti Equiworld Gimcrack Stakes this year is a small gesture but one which I hope will serve as a poignant reminder of the enormous impact he had on the sport.” Lacy rode 50 winners as a jockey and found only Arkle and Flyingbolt too good aboard Height Of Fashion in two Irish Grand Nationals. As a trainer, he sent out hundreds of winners from his yard in Rhode, County Offaly, spearheaded by Ingabelle, who went on to become a hugely important foundation mare at Ballylinch Stud. More recently, Lacy, along with his son Barry, bred the G2 July Stakes winner Persian Force (Mehmas) from €1,200 mare Vida Amorosa (Lope De Vega).

    • It really is a ridiculous situation where no jumpers are trained in the south island as there are no jumping races.  Then for one week north island jumpers head south at considerable expense to race in small fields for very good money.  Only horses considered capable of winning are loaded onto trucks and floats so you'd expect the jumping to be of a high standard.
