Of 13 horses expected to fly into Southern California this week, only one didn't make the trip, according to Del Mar. Flights were grounded due to the FAA grounding MD-11 freighter aircraft for inspections and repairs.View the full article -
Well, I think Reefton - for one - provides its own maintenance and has a positive balance sheet. I can't imagine Mr Molloy tolerating debt. Hokitika was another that had plenty in kitty, enough to undertake any works determined to be necessary. Not given the chance. Gone. -

Really? If Slot Holder Coolmore has the three best sprinters racing what are the odds are that other Slot holders that own horses will choose one of the two that Coolmore don't? The final starters are the result of a closed auction rather and deals rather than on talent. -

A few weeks removed from having topped this year's Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale on a bid of $3.7 million from Bill Shiveley's Dixiana Farms, LUSH LIPS (GB) (f, 3, Ten Sovereigns {Ire}–Lamyaa {GB}, by Arcano {Ire}) pounced on long-time leader Classic Q (Classic Empire) with less than a furlong to race in Friday's GII Mrs. Revere Stakes and held off a late dive from East Coast raider Pretty Picture (Munnings) by a long neck as the heavy 1-2 favorite. Exiting a victory in Keeneland's GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup about 70 miles east on Interstate 64, Lush Lips hit the ground running from the inside gate, but she was outfooted and was content to lay second, as Classic Q–who ran on from behind to fill the runner-up spot in the GIII Valley View Stakes–reverted to the front-running tactics that saw her annex Saratoga's Wild Applause Stakes and just miss in the GII Lake George Stakes. Taken off the fence approaching the half-mile marker by Tyler Gaffalione, Lush Lips looked to have the front-runner where she wanted her on the turn and into the lane. The Gary Barber runner proved a stubborn rival, in large part owing to a fairly sedate time of things on the engine, but Lush Lips called upon her class to push past for the victory. Pretty Picture flashed home for second, while Classic Q was a very game third. The final time for the 8 1/2 furlongs on fast ground was 1:41.75. Sales history: £82,000 Ylg '23 GOFAUG; $3,700,000 HIT '25 KEENOV.

Correct me if I'm wrong but does Ellerslie have raceday protocol exemptions: They seem to be able to irrigate closer to raceday than any other Club; They don't use a penetrometer or any other measurement device to derive a track rating; They don't gallop horses on raceday mornings to confirm the rating or a safety test as well. Yet they do at Pukekohe - "because we have horses available there"; The "Soft 5" rating seems standard rather than measured and is achieved by verti-draining late in the week leading up to raceday. What does this do to the stability of the surface? Is this why some horses find it shifty particularly on the bends?; They rely on what the Jockeys say to determine when the rating should be upgraded during the day. If that is the case why don't they gallop horses prior to Race 1? If they don't use a standard rating measurement device how do punters compare the arbitrary "Soft 5" with other NZ tracks?
