    • Still haven't found it going by the track reports this week. Either that or they haven't found anyone who knows how or can be bothered to use it.

    • Champion jockey Oisin Murphy has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and failing to cooperate with a roadside test, following his involvement in a serious road traffic collision which took place in Hermitage, West Berkshire back in April this year. A statement released by Thames Valley Police on Thursday said, “Last Thursday (19/6) Oisin Murphy, aged 29 of Beales Farm Road, Lambourn, Hungerford, was charged by postal requisition with one count of driving a motor vehicle while over the prescribed limit of alcohol and one count of failing to cooperate with a preliminary test at the roadside. “The charge is in connection with a single vehicle road traffic collision around 12.05am on Sunday 27 April this year when a grey Mercedes A Class left the road and crashed into a tree. “Murphy is due to appear at Reading Magistrates' Court on 3 July. “It is vital that people do not speculate or spread misinformation on social media as this is a live investigation.” Murphy has continued to ride since the incident occurred nearly nine weeks ago, including at Royal Ascot where he entered the winner's enclosure on five occasions. He currently leads the British Flat jockeys' championship in his quest for a fifth title with 49 winners.

    • And if it was out of alignment, why didn't someone realign it once that became apparent? 
    • The first progeny of Windsor Park Stud stallion Profondo made a favourable impression during the NZB National Weanling Sale at Karaka on Thursday. The son of Japanese super-sire Deep Impact was himself a A$1.9 million yearling and won the Gr.1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) in Sydney as a three-year-old. He commenced his stud career at Windsor Park in 2023 and has served books of 177 and 173 mares in his first two seasons. Thursday’s catalogue featured four weanlings from Profondo’s first crop. They all sold for a total of $250,000, averaging $62,500. They were bred from a $17,500 service fee. Windsor Park Stud sold a Profondo colt out of Shamani for $85,000, while Seaton Park’s colt out of the Lord Kanaloa mare Auntie Condor fetched the same price. Mana Park’s filly out of the Align mare Dwandaofu sold for $70,000. “We’re really happy with how the first Profondo weanlings have gone today,” Windsor Park Stud’s nominations manager Nick Hewson said. “He’s off to a great start. “The colt that we offered ourselves, who was out of a Shamexpress mare, was an outstanding type and attracted plenty of interest leading into the sale. “The exciting thing is that his progeny are only going to get better and better with age, so we’ve got a lot more to look forward to. We’ve been around the grounds and had a good look at all of his progeny that were in this sale, and they’re all great-looking individuals with so much scope. Profondo is a great physical specimen himself and is passing those attributes on to his progeny.” Those sentiments are shared by Paul Pertab, who bought Windsor Park’s colt out of Shamani. “I really liked Profondo’s credentials from the moment he came into the country,” Pertab said. “I went and had a look at him at the stud when he first arrived, and I was very impressed. I thought this colt, albeit at the higher end of the scale for this sale today, was pretty good value at $85,000.” Cambridge Stud’s Sword Of State played a starring role with his first yearlings at Karaka earlier in the year, and he carried on in a similar vein with strong demand for his second-season weanlings on Thursday. Nine of his progeny were sold for a total of $438,500, averaging $48,722 on a $15,000 service fee. View the full article
