Yes, very smart horse by light spirits from memory, trained by Jim Melton, witnessed him winning his maiden race, was at Westport though, got well back, and I've never forgotten the turn of foot he showed to pick them up an win very well, knew he went on to top races, a grey horse, then to aussie I think, can't recall how he went over there, but that win, has stuck with me, and Damien Browne did ride, coincidently light spirits sired the last ever winner of the Westport cup, Elad Nova, 1996 from memory was their last hurrah for the throughbred racing there. -
Yeah bit of a shame, can't recall the full story, but knew it was controversial, been to riverton once, 2017 I think, drove to Christchurch, flew to invercargill, plane circling for an hour waiting for break in the fog, just when we thought we were heading to Dunedin and a bus trip, we landed, grabbed a rental, and headed to riverton, had a share in a cup runner, we didn't win, but enjoyed the day, an took time out to visit the defunct thoroughbred tracks at Wyndham, Winton, which where nice courses, stopped an checked out gore track, one of our horses favourite tracks, 3 wins there including a gore cup by 10 lengths, no races there at the time, but did talk to a trainer working his horses at the time, Tony Stratford, and an associate was was working a galloper at time time, enjoyed my time there, not quite long enough, and will return one day,

Heck your parents were kind giving you a week off school to to go on holiday and racing, my mum wouldn't give me a day off or a half to go to races, which incidentally the 1200m cute start point right outside my classroom window which made the pain more unbearable, did get over in lunch hour for a race, or after school, those nuns must have been the kind ones, the ones in ours days were harder than Japanese arithmetic, no quater given on any score, and sure knew how to discipline the naughty ones, and the not so naughty, any favourites or good horses you remember from your era, be interested to hear a few.

The Jockey Club has launched the ID My Thoroughbred app, which allows users to access Thoroughbred information using a microchip number, it was announced via press release Thursday. “The ID My Thoroughbred app is just one of the many tools The Jockey Club has provided to support the industry's aftercare and traceability initiatives,” said James L. Gagliano, president and COO, The Jockey Club. “These initiatives are crucial to ensuring the welfare of Thoroughbreds throughout their lives, and we appreciate the collaboration among other industry organizations to make this a priority.” When a Thoroughbred that has a microchip recorded with The Jockey Club is scanned or a valid microchip number is entered, the app provides the horse's name and detailed markings. “We developed the ID My Thoroughbred app to make identification simple and accessible while also strengthening the industry's ability to track and understand where Thoroughbreds are throughout their lives,” said Kristin Werner, deputy general counsel and director of Industry Initiatives, The Jockey Club. “Knowing the location of Thoroughbreds that are no longer racing or breeding helps the industry strengthen aftercare efforts and promotes accountability and public trust in our sport.” In addition to identifying Thoroughbreds, the app is integrated with Thoroughbred Connect so a user can indicate if a horse is in need of assistance or if they are willing to provide assistance for a horse. The ID My Thoroughbred app is available for free through Google Play or the App Store.

The Euro/Middle East Road to the Kentucky Derby and the Japan Road to the Kentucky Derby continue Friday and Sunday, respectively, with the $217,760 Listed Dubai Road to the Kentucky Derby over 1900 meters and the $245,100 Listed Hyacinth Stakes going a one-turn mile at Meydan Racecourse and Tokyo Racecourse. The seventh race on an eight-race card under the Friday night lights at Meydan, the Dubai Road to the Kentucky Derby lacks the presence of G3 UAE 2000 Guineas hero Six Sense (Not This Time), who is training up to the G2 UAE Derby on Mar. 28, but does include King Abdullah Bin A/Aziz and Sons' promising Salloom (Authentic). Some poor manners at the gate saw the strapping bay scratched from his expected debut in December, but with a winning trial under his belt, the $175,000 Keeneland September yearling turned $600,000 OBS March breezer made light work of a one-mile maiden Jan. 30, making just about every yard to score by just under seven lengths en route to 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard honors. He is well clear of his 12 rivals on ratings, but given his antics at the stalls first time around, nothing can really be taken for granted. “Salloom is doing great and I think he came out of the last race really well,” said trainer Bhupat Seemar. “He's ready to go again and take his chance, but I hope he behaves in the gate–that's the biggest thing.” Omaha Front (Omaha Beach) is one of four others saddled by Seemar and enters off victories over 1400 and 1600 meters at Jebel Ali Jan. 17 and 31, while Brotherly Love (GB) (Zoustar {Aus})–the half-brother to last year's UAE Derby runner-up Heart of Honor (GB) (Honor A. P.)– needs to improve off a troubled eighth in the Guineas. The winner earns 20 points towards a Derby appearance. Click here for the form guide. Koichi Nishikawa's Arcadia Cafe (Into Mischief) could go favored in Sunday's Hyacinth Stakes as he looks to join his commonly owned half-brothers Cafe Pharoah (American Pharoah) and Luxor Cafe (American Pharoah) as winners of the race, which offers 30 points to the first home. A $550,000 Keeneland September acquisition, Arcadia Cafe graduated by 2 1/2 lengths over the Tokyo one-turn mile Nov. 1 and was last seen finishing third in the first leg of the series, the local Cattleya Stakes, behind Satono Voyage (Jpn) (Into Mischief)–third in last week's G3 Saudi Derby–and 132-1 outsider Don Erectus (Jpn) (Danon Legend), who also lines up here. Rachel King, who was aboard future Kentucky Derby participant Luxor Cafe last year for Noriyuki Hori, has the call on Arcadia Cafe. Four last-start winners are headed by Iterrasshai (Jpn) (Mischievous Alex), a first-out third over course and distance in November and the five-length winner of a Nakayama maiden going 1800 meters on Dec. 13. Leading rider Keita Tosaki has the call. Yu Pharoah (American Pharoah), a son of the turf Grade III-placed Limari (Medaglia d'Oro), is a maiden winner from eight starts on the grass and tries the dirt for the first time in his career. The Hyacinth is the third of four legs on the Japan Road to the Kentucky Derby.
