In honor of veteran rider Perry Ouzts, Turfway Park will officially rename its jockey quarters Perry Wayne Ouzts Jockeys' Quarters during a dedication ceremony Dec. 6. Ouzts, 71, has won 7,531 races in his career, ranking fifth all-time among North American jockeys and he is the all-time leading rider at Turfway Park. “Perry is a terrific human and an unbelievable professional athlete,” Turfway Park general manager Chip Bach said. “He's the ultimate iron man, and it's only fitting that the place where our riders prepare every day now carries his name. His horsemanship, grit and consistency–and the respect he's earned here for decades–make this a proud moment for all of us.” All racing fans are welcome to attend the dedication, which will take place in the paddock prior to the first race that evening, with members of the Ouzts family, fellow jockeys and representatives from Turfway Park in attendance.

The Howden Neom Turf Cup, one of the highlights of the Saudi Cup meeting, has been upgraded to Group 1 status ahead of next year's running. Meanwhile, global insurance broker Howden has extended its partnership with the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia (JCSA) for a further three years, taking the race sponsorship to 2028. The addition of the Howden Neom Turf Cup to The Saudi Cup's line up of Group 1 races now takes the tally of top flight contests on the day to three, with a glittering undercard including three Group 2s, one Group 3 and a newly minted Listed contest after an upgrade to the Tuwaiq Cup. In addition, the King Saud Cup, held this year on December 27, has also been raised from domestic Group 1 status to an International Listed Race. The Howden Neom Turf Cup has been quick to rise through the classifications, with the 2100m race achieving Group 3 status ahead of its 2022 renewal before being promoted to Group 2 ahead of the 2024 running. A runaway seven-length success for Shadwell's subsequent Group 1 Royal Ascot Prince Of Wales's Stakes and Group 1 Juddmonte International winner Mostahdaf in 2023, and a strike for the Sir Alex Ferguson-owned Spirit Dancer (GB) the following year, would have helped boost the race's status. The dominant display from the Japanese Shin Emperor over Calif and Irish St Leger winner and Melbourne Cup runner Al Riffa this year sealed the three-year average the Asian Pattern Committee needed to provide Saudi Arabia with the upgrade, which this year will take place on February 14, as the nation hosts the 41st Asian Racing Conference. The Howden Neom Turf Cup now sits alongside the USD$20m Saudi Cup as a Group 1 event, with the world's richest race having received that recognition before just its third running in 2022. The Obaiya Arabian Classic completes the trio of top tier contests held on Saudi Cup day. Announcing the new three-year extended sponsorship, Howden Founder and CEO David Howden said, “I love racing in Riyadh. It's been incredible watching the transformation of the course in the last few years and seeing Prince Bandar realise his vision of turning horse racing in the Kingdom into such an incredible spectacle. What's so special about Saudi is that it's a truly global race meeting. The top trainers and jockeys whether from the UK, Europe, America or, of course, Japan – who have dominated the Howden Neom Cup in recent years – are not just attracted by the fantastic prize money but by the incredible competition. And the upgrade of the Howden Neom Cup to a Group One race is a testament to the incredible success of the meeting.” He added, “Yet our relationship with JCSA is only just hitting its stride. So I couldn't be prouder to extend our partnership for a further three years and see our name attached to such a prestigious race. More broadly, following on from our recent exciting partnership renewals at Ascot, Victoria Racing Club and Bahrain Turf Club, this sponsorship underlines our commitment to global racing itself. So there's a huge amount to look forward to and I can't wait to cheer home the first ever Group 1 winner of the Howden Neom Turf Cup!” The post Boost For Saudi Cup Meeting As Neom Turf Upgraded To Group 1 Status appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

You ain’t going to catch the 50k punter with your legislative net are you. If you’ve got 50k to bet with you’re going to work out a way around it and you ain’t going to be interested in their discount odds. -
You wonder if they are letting the big sports punters on in the head to head options, on the Cricket, Rugby and the like, recently with Geo blocking they extended the punters promise to some sports options to a minimum of a $1000, so one wonders what happens to the guys who might want 50 grand on the ABs or the Aussie head to head, Betfair was the place for them, even had honest cash outs, are those punters being accepted or are not welcome, meaning many have given up.
