Palmerston North still run a meeting with only ten or so northern visitors, if they dont run mini meetings then its probably goodnight nurse for cd harness Winton today, while a bit better not much though, not sure if the weather having some influence, maybe too much racing or simply not as many training horses these days. -

Favoured at 6-5 in this step up to stakes company, Croix Du Nord (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}) duly delivered in the G2 Tokyo Sports Hai Nisai Stakes on Saturday. After an even break, he soon ranged up in between horses to sit third behind a freewheeling Satono Shining (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}) and second choice Red Kingly (Jpn) (Saturnalia {Jpn}), a few lengths behind. Poised to pounce after 1000 metres in 1:00.90, he inched into second and took dead aim on the pacesetter. Charging up to even terms at the 400-metre pole, he gradually subdued that game rival to win by three-quarters of a length. Red Kingly held on for third, 1 1/2 lengths back. Pedigree Notes Shadai Stallion Station's Kitasan Black is the sire of 11 black-type winners with Croix Du Nord his eighth group winner. The two-time Japanese Horse of the Year and six-time Group 1 winner is best known as the father of international superstar Equinox (Jpn) and G1 Satsuki Sho hero Sol Oriens (Jpn). The 11th foal out of Rising Cross (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) who won the G2 Park Hill Stakes and was placed in both the G1 Oaks and G1 Irish Oaks, Croix Du Nord won a Tokyo newcomers' affair by 2 1/2 lengths when unveiled on June 9. Rising Cross has a yearling full-brother to the winner, and a weanling filly by Satono Diamond (Jpn). Derby winners Morston (Fr) (Ragusa {GB}) and Blakeney (GB) (Hethersett {GB}) are part of this clan.

In my experience many trainers prefer NOT to work them in the blinkers. Just put them on race day for the first time. Where did you get the idea that they do? -

7th-Laurel, $48,305, Msw, 11-16, 2yo, 6f, 1:11.43, ft, 1 length. YARA'S QUEST (c, 2, Liam's Map–Yara {GSW, $398,390}, by Put It Back), given a 4-1 chance in this debut run, was hustled to the front from his inside draw and raced under pressure through an opening quarter in :22.64. Overtaken approaching the quarter pole and appearing to be heading the wrong way, Yara's Quest was resurgent along the rail in the stretch and battled back gamely to record a one-length victory over On the Level (Classic Empire). The winner is a half-brother to Moon Swag (Malibu Moon), MSW & MGSP, $369,000. Yara's 2023 produce, the filly Candara (Connect), was sent to the Republic of Korea. This is the extended female family of GISWs Healthy Addiction (Boston Harbor) and her daughter My Sweet Addiction (Tiznow). Sales history: $300,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $28,200.

How did they discover they "worked"? Given "work" isn't under race conditions. However the point the @Pete Lane makes is that Blinkers "first time" doesn’t work more than 50% of the first time. So how does a punter choose which horse to punt on? Therefore a punter who makes money does so by looking for value and other factors NOT whether or not a horse is wearing blinkers for the first time.
