    • King Of Change will stand at a fee of £8,500 (October 1, SLF) at Tweenhills for his first covering season in Britain.  It was announced on Friday that the son of Farhh had been bought by Tweenhills' managing director David Redvers with a number of partners. King Of Change, the winner of the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and runner-up in the 2,000 Guineas, has stood for five seasons in Ireland, first at Derrinstown and most recently at Starfield Stud. “We couldn't be more delighted to see King Of Change settle into life on the farm seamlessly alongside Kameko and Lightning Spear,” said Redvers. “The initial response from breeders on both sides of the Irish Sea has been tremendous and his introductory fee is offered at an incredibly competitive price for a proven stallion with his obvious capabilities. “With the highest percentage of stakes winners to runners of any stallion in Europe aside from Dubawi, breeders are encouraged to come and see him at the farm as he is filling very fast.” King Of Change and Kameko will also be available for breeders to view at Longholes Stud in Newmarket during theTattersalls February Sale, which takes place on February 5 and 6.   The post King Of Change Introduced at Tweenhills at £8,500 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • I think both Cambridge and Manawatu are going to take a further hit when the dogs finish, as long as stakes are in line with income that's all one can do, at present they aren't, you cut your coat according to your cloth, I note a comment Mr Steele said to the Facebook at Omakau the other day praising these feeder clubs, , sad part is many of these feeder clubs are being feasted on by clubs who can't make it on their own, HRNZ are pouring money into one or two clubs in particular who don't inspire the public, if the public prefer Methven and the Mot and Westport or Omakau  over Cambridge or Alexandra Park then that's the way it is I'm all for standing up for the provinces in anything. Auckland has to stand on its own 2 feet.
    • Owners will  need to make the most of what they are currently receiving in stake money, as there is nothing surer than when Entain pulls the funding in 2 years time, they will be racing for significantly less stake money. If we are only getting 4 horse fields with good stake money how do they think there are going to be more horses than this racing? Unfortunately things are not flash and HRNZ need to quickly acknowledge this fact and  make the necessary changes! Business owners and CEO’s need to do best for their business, but is there anyone that thinks that the actions that have been taken since the cash splash is going to be successful??
    • Chief, if they are a gambling agency and punters aren’t cheating, then how is it right to any degree, that they can let one punter put on as much as they want on a horse and yet another punter backing the same horse, is restricted to a small amount? The Bookies should know the horses, so they put up the odds that they think is right! The fact is that they are losing massive turnover by not allowing punters on for reasonable amounts, and then receives very little more money on that horse on the fixed odds, due to slashing the hell out of the odds, is crazy! The restricted punters would increase  the turnover significantly and should be encouraged rather than what they are doing!!! This would make the harness business stronger with all the flow on effects! What other business in NZ is allowed to treat its customer the way the NZ TAB treats its current ones??
