Legendary figures from the sport of horse racing are to be featured in a new podcast hosted by Ferrin Peterson. 'The Boundless Podcast' will feature interviews with Hall of Fame jockeys Steve Cauthen, Chris McCarron, Pat Day, and Sandy Hawley. Available on all recognized platforms, including Apple Podcast, Spotify, and YouTube, the series will kick off Jan. 16 with an hour-long interview with Cauthen, whose outstanding career in the saddle included a historic Triple Crown success on Affirmed in 1978, when he was just 18 years old, before he became the only jockey to win both the GI Kentucky Derby and G1 Epsom Derby. It will be the first of 12 episodes to air in a series filmed and produced in Kentucky by Peterson and videographer Jacob Ames. Patti Cooksey, who became the second female jockey to ride in the Kentucky Derby, and the remarkable septuagenarian Perry Ouzts are scheduled for later in the series. “I've always wanted to be able to educate and inspire,” said Peterson. “Since becoming a jockey I have wanted to build a platform as an athlete. I see that more in other sports but not a lot among U.S. jockeys. “The people I have talked to have inspiring stories,” she said. “They were able to go deep into their struggles and how they overcame them.” Peterson continues to ride on the Kentucky circuit while also working as an ER veterinarian across the state's small animal clinics. “Boundless is a podcast that explores the stories of individuals who have accomplished the seemingly impossible by breaking molds and redefining success through unique challenges, pivotal moments, and unbreakable determination,” the Kentucky-based jockey said.

Nereus will contest the Group 3 Wellington Cup (3200m) at Trentham on Saturday. Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) Shaune Ritchie and Colm Murray will be out to complete their trio of New Zealand feature two-mile successes at Trentham on Saturday when Nereus takes on the Group 3 Wellington Cup (3200m). The Cambridge training partnership won both the Group 3 New Zealand Cup (3200m) and Group 2 Auckland Cup (3200m) last season with Mahrajaan, and while he was the headliner for the stable, waiting in the wings was emerging stayer Nereus, who took out the Group 3 Awapuni Gold Cup (2100m) later in the autumn. This term, the Savabeel five-year-old built to an impressive win in the Group 3 Counties Cup (2100m), which subsequently had him carrying the top-weight in the Group 3 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2400m) at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day, where he finished eighth, a run Ritchie is happy to move on from. “I think that (weight) was the significant difference, he’s not a big horse and with No Compromise compressing his weight down to 53kg at Counties, it looked a good race for him and that’s how it turned out,” he said. “Obviously going up to the topweight in the Queen Elizabeth was a step too far, so it was a forgive run. “We’re pretty convinced he’ll run the two miles out strongly, based on his trackwork and how well he relaxes early and mid-race. If that’s the case and we’ve got a two-miler, then it opens quite a few doors for us. “We always thought he would be a Cups-style horse and the ultimate prizemoney is getting up to two miles, so we’ve wanted to try him at this distance.” Nereus is currently rated a $13 chance with horse racing bookmakers for Saturday’s contest, with Victorian raider Interpretation heading the market at $3. While Ritchie knows the threat the gelding brings across the Tasman, Nereus also benefits from his presence in the race. “The obvious thing here is the Australian horse coming over, he’s favourite and he’s going to be hard to beat,” Ritchie said. “But he does compress us down to a winnable weight, he gets us only three and half kilos off the minimum, a luxury compared to last time. “He’s got a great record with Trentham, it’s the track he’s performed up to his best at. I’m really looking forward to the race on Saturday.” Horse racing news View the full article -

I had an argument with a long term big punter in the pub the other day. Another mate and I were discussing how the Fixed Odds at times are priced really strangely for particular horses for example Orchestral. Was she short in the market initially to attract your average punter to throw it in their multis? Like a form of reverse psychology. We also discussed the improbability of how often Fixed Odds end up equalling the Tote price - particularly AFTER the race has started. We decided that the TAB lays Fixed Odds on the Tote on a fairly regular basis. Anyway the big punter (won a few punter of the year competitions) piped in and said that the TAB didn't lay Fixed Odds bets and it was in the rules. So I had a spare moment and looked at the Racing Act legislation and the TAB Betting Rules. It specifically says in both that the TAB CAN lay bets. The TAB rules say - LAY OFF BETS 13. We may at its sole discretion place all or part of a Fixed Odds Bet accepted by us on another betting system to manage its financial exposure. Off to the Thirsty Thursday session to get my two jugs I bet!!! -
