    • I like your thinking galah,  the New Zealand Trotting Owners Association is currently working on a Website and we will looking for things that will drag people to it. As you are probably aware I have been following a few of the Westview and Unhinged horses thru training and racing even if they run down the track just so people get some sort of prospective of the highs and lows. Fergalicious might end her racing career this time in depending on the syndicate members so is the perfect candidate for a track to hopefully track series. I know not everyone is on Facebook so there will be alot of Unhinged content on the new site. Keep the ideas coming in cheers Mr Galah 👍. 
    • 5. BARB, SAR, 7/16, 7 furlongs (2nd) (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 87 (3, g, by Candy Ride {Arg}–Classic Point, by Flatter) O-Flying P Stable. B-Marc Keller (Ky). T-Mike Maker. J-Ricardo Santana, Jr. He faded after setting the pace vs ultra-fast BAQ maidens April 19 (the top three made our Five Fastest Maidens), and Mike Maker and owner Jason Provenzano saw enough to claim him next out when dropped to $75,000. His Beyers already have improved 10+ points, and Maker hasn't even run him 1 3/8 miles on turf yet. 4. PRIVMAN, DMR, 7/20, 1 mile (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 88 (3, c, by Justify–Mo Knows, by Uncle Mo) O-SF Racing, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables, Stonestreet Stables, Diane Bashor, Determined Stables, Robert Masterson, Tom Ryan, Waves Edge Capital and Catherine Donovan. B-Betz Thoroughbreds/B&K Canetti/J. Betz/D.J. Stables/Graves/GTL. T-Bob Baffert. J-Juan Hernandez. After listing all the owners and breeders, there isn't much room left for details. Suffice to say this well-bred colt–named for now-retired DRF journalist Jay Privman–has loads of talent. His impressive win at Del Mar was his second straight fast performance, following a close 2nd at Churchill Downs on June 1. 3. SUNDAY'S WELL, WO, 7/20, 6 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 89 (3, g, by Gamble's Exchange–Mrs. Monty, by Henny Hughes) O-Paul O'Brien. B-Frank Di Giulio Jr & John Carey (Ont-C). T-Terry Brooker. J-Jose Luis Campos. Switched to Tapeta for his second start after an 8th-place debut finish on grass, Sunday's Well lands in the maiden spotlight with a frontrunning nine-length score in a $40,000 optional claimer at Woodbine (he wasn't entered to be claimed). His 11-year-old unraced Ontario sire Gamble's Exchange has had only two dozen starters, and this gelding now ranks as his fourth-fastest runner. 2. IRON DOME, SAR, 7/16, 1 1/8 miles (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 89 (3, c, by Into Mischief–Speightful Affair, by Speightstown) O-L and N Racing and Chester Broman Sr. B-Chester and Mary Broman (NY). T-Steve Asmussen. J-Jose Ortiz. Wednesday, July 16, was the day for promising Asmussen maidens to finally strut their stuff at Saratoga. Iron Dome's first four outings at Oaklawn and Saratoga ranged from ho-hum to fair-to-middling, then he dominated NY-breds by 10 1/2 lengths. He was a $500,000 Keeneland September yearling and is a half-brother to Broman's NY-bred champion and $1.4-million earner Mr. Buff, thus Broman stayed in for an ownership piece.  And three races later…   1. TAP INTO THIS, SAR, 7/16, 7 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 94 (3, c, by Tapit–Superioritycomplex (IRE), by Hard Spun) O-Douglas Scharbauer. B-Mt Brilliant Farm & Orrin Ingram (Ky). T-Steve Asmussen. J-Flavien Prat. In 2021, Ron Winchell went to $1.35 million for an Into Mischief colt out of Superioritycomplex, and at one point Asmussen considered Extra Anejo his No. 1 Derby contender. Now a 5-year-old, Extra Anejo is still trying to live up to those early reviews but won the GIII Commonwealth Stakes this April. Two years later, Chief Stipe Scharbauer–another Asmussen client– paid $525,000 for this half-brother by Tapit, and after five second or third-place finishes, he graduated at Saratoga with the week's fastest maiden Beyer.   The post Five Fastest Maidens, Presented By Taylor Made, For The Week Of July 14-21 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Well it is the middle of Winter. you can't expect the Spring Stars to be racing this early. so with the lousy weather there in Winter no wonder the fields are small and no one watching/betting ? you are being impatient. There was FIRST CLASS Auckland racing in the Autumn for several weeks , with many highlights. It's somewhat ironic that you want them QUALITY horse people to race for Peanuts , while you want to invest thousands as a bet but can't . The irony is quite funny. (If they go to Queensland like the Best NZ trainer ever did, Mark Purdon . The kiwis could of been winning Group 1's.  Mark still winning some while near retired.  what a legend. A nice 3rd for his own horse he part owns in the Interdominion trot Final too. and Congrats to the Whites from Canterbury running 2nd with BET N WIN. Fine horse people who 'Deservedly' earn a quid by being Great Horsepeople.  Yeah get HRNZ to pay Auckland Trainer peanuts then if you want ?? they are useless . Tony Herlihy, Barry Purdon , Ray Green , Butchers . They only win Miracle Mile s, Interdominions New Zealand Cups Auckland Cups, Barry even winning the New Slot race at Addington (as well as the Cambridge one last year with Merlin) PAY THEM PEANUTS . they're NOT WORTH shit. They have Only been preparing World Class Pacers for decades ???? give the stakemoney to owner trainer at Nelson or Westport that prepares a horse that can't break 2 minutes.  What a great thing that would be to happen . Useless bloody HRNZ getting it ALL wrong.   Wrong people getting the prizemoney 😂😎 what a cock up NZ is lol. 😋  
    • Gamma, no I do not want Auckland racing to finish but you just can not keep running sny business the way they are doing it currently. Unfortunately there is just not enough interest in the sport in the North Island nowadays and they need to change this up. Throwing money into the stakes is great for the current owners and trainers at the moment from Entain monies, however what after it runs out? They just do not seem to have any answers and the punting turnover on the North Island meetings just does not warrant the current level of stakes!! It is a business model doomed to fail without doubt! Stakes of $30k plus with only a handful of starters is just a recipe for disaster but hey HRNZ obviously are happy with this. Wouldnt be wanting them running any business I was associated with but then time is going to tell. They should be keeping money aside for future years and development of the industry rather than trying to be Father Xmas. Let us see what the Committee comes up with when it meets?
    • Jockey Umberto Rispoli has waived his right to appeal and will serve a one-day suspension and pay a $6,000 fine meted out by the Monmouth Park stewards for striking Journalism (Curlin) a total of eight times–two more than the maximum allowed under the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) rule–when winning the GI Haskell Stakes on Saturday. Marcus Hersh of Daily Racing Form broke the news on Tuesday. As of 6 p.m. Eastern time July 22, Rispoli's penalties had not yet been posted on the online rulings portals for either HISA or the New Jersey Racing Commission. Journalism won the Haskell by a half-length with a late run from seventh in the field of eight. Hersch quoted Rispoli's agent, Matt Nakatani, as saying Rispoli plans to serve the suspension on Friday, Aug. 1. Journalism earned $600,000 in purse winnings. Under the HISA rule, a jockey's single whipping violation within a 180-day span is penalized by a fine equating to 10% of the rider's winning share (in this case $60,000 for Rispoli), plus a one-day suspension.
