    • Both Sweet Azteca (Sharp Azteca) and  'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Tamara (Bolt d'Oro) will scratch from the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. Each filly looked to play a substantial role in the wagering with Sweet Azteca 2-1 on the morning line for Richard Baltas and Tamara listed at 7-2 for Richard Mandella. The news was reported on social media by DRF's David Grening. No reason was given for either scratch. Additionally, 20-1 shot Atsila (Ire) (Phoenix of Spain {Ire}) has been announced via the same source as a scratch from the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.

    • GI Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan (Goldencents) will not take part in the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. The news was announced Saturday morning on social media by David Grening. Trainer Ken McPeek told Grening that “the reason they said was [he] responds to flexion left ankle.” This is the second scratch from the McPeek barn in as many days with 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Blackout Time (Not This Time) scratching Friday from the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Mystik Dan will retire to Airdrie Stud for the 2026 breeding season where he will stand for $15,000.     The post Mystik Dan Out Of Dirt Mile; Retires To Airdrie Stud appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • No dreamland from where I sit Brodie......you tend to go on and on and on and on ,along with your tag-mate Galah who doubles up with more on and on and on looking for flawed statements which will give you the urge to go on and on and on . Harness racing in NZ had been in serious decline for a some time before the flawed and near fatal attempt by ATC to future proof the club and Industry in North. It was  historically one of the standout clubs so was rewarded with Group racing ,good dates , Interdoms etc etc and lights for night racing . Obviously things turned to custard with their 'development plans ' but that didn't and doesn't change the fact that it still has many of the best horses ,best breeders , best horse people and cos of its position in middle of city , with humid mild climate to operate all year ,it is still in good position to reap the benefits of any lift in Harness interest in NZ should that ever occur. Scrubb em cos of a few pennies expense and cut em loose and the ship could sink faster than it already is.  Even you tag repeat-offending negaholics often turn to completely irrelevant and unproven 'facts' to put the boot in...comments like the racing is boring ,the odd learner driver made a bad move or the commentator calls too many nick-names. Now Brodie mentions people only go there for a feed. That funny ! Q...Have you guys even been to ATC ?  Seriously. Have you ? I suggest you do. You will find it easy to get to , free parking ,free book ,close to horses , great people and the best trainers , horses and horse people. The TAB is clearly the numero uno in NZ . Last night the place was buzzing , a trumpeter playing the best of Herb Albert and the females wanted to dance. Why would anyone want to close the busiest TAB in NZ along with a pokies room which nets $2 million a year .And when the Sunday grass meetings in south...now they really are boring as bat shit...have a betting boost musch of that booking comes from the Harness Northern region ,the one you want shut off ! All these profitable clubs in the South ,aren't really that profitable and as reminded last week many are only one sandhill away from the South Pole .Many cant race between May and september and most no good at night . What Northern Harness needs is you two 'ideas' folk to at least visit the North and take over the Administration in north. Put your ideas to use ! HRNZ and the  Southern Clubs obviously want the North to be great again so the whole industry can survive.  You two can do it ! I'll be driving past there tomorrow as a few thousand folk drive miles to swarm Kaikoura trots..I'll be among 10 x times the Kaikoura crowd at a Rugby league match [40,000 expected] , then on Tuesday its across road to NZ's wealthiest racecourse , which is #1 in NZ betting numbers on horses and overall attendance. And the city is growing !
