    • Fair Grounds Race Course will host its inaugural Jockeys Dinner and Awards, highlighted by a public meet-and-greet with members of the Fair Grounds jockey colony, Jan. 7. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund. The Jockeys Dinner and Awards will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. CT in the fourth-floor clubhouse, followed by a meet-and-greet from 7 to 8 p.m. The meet-and-greet is open to the public and offers fans the chance to interact with the jockeys. The evening will feature the presentation of the newly established Leadership and Sportsmanship Award. Created to honor exceptional leadership within the Fair Grounds jockey colony, the award recognizes a jockey who demonstrates dedication to leadership, sportsmanship and mentorship. During the dinner, Fair Grounds will recognize several on-track achievements, including last year's leading rider, midpoint meet statistics, and apprentice riders. Tickets for the meet-and-greet are $10 and admit two adults. Children ages 12 and under are admitted free. Tickets may be purchased in advance through Ticketmaster or on-site the day of the event.

    • What a load of garbage.  But I guess free speech allows to free rein to post crap.  To think some people miss you.
    • You better watch yourself Curious Banning FREE SPEECH screenshots will follow then you'll be told you're "anti racing" for pointing out the obvious cheating that's going on  I've got numerous shots of Craig Grylls, Bosson, Collett in the last week...flattening ears, flicking ears, attacking the neck/ head region when every single stakeholder knows the "head is sancrosankt" apart from the RIB Someone may be able to explain this How is ANY contact forward of the saddle is banned apart from" hands on reins TAPPING the shoulder"  yet the RIB completely ignores "whip vertical, pointing skywards" (Oathams description of ONE successful prosecution of a 'low hanging fruit') then allows Bosson to flex a whip @40% striking flat on the upper neck from that position? From what I'm observing in recent days Jockeys appeared to have read these threads, started behaving like these leading jockeys in neck/head contacts and reaped the rewards You simply cant activate a 'flight response" better than resembling a bee stinging the tops of horse's ears Just as Corey Campbell did in the last yesterday https://loveracing.nz/Common/SystemTemplates/Modal/Video.aspx?v=http%3a%2f%2fwww.racingreplays.co.nz%2fmedia%2f202601%2fM6_RIVR_R08_010126.mp4&i=%2fCommon%2fImage.ashx%3fw%3d565%26h%3d314%26a%3d1%26o%3d1%26z%3d1%26bg%3deeeeee%26p%3dhttp%3a%2f%2fwww.racingreplays.co.nz%2fmedia%2f202601%2fM6_RIVR_R08_010126.jpg&r=Race 8 - ODT SOUTHERN MILE HEAT&rs=1
    • the fastest horse wins . A very easy concept. Mile racing is very easy to pick , but you old dinosaurs like slow grass tracks racing where they play for luck and the smaller stables can get a win in slow time. that's nice !! it's actually a nice thing to do that support. No smaller stables are going to win any serious Group racing though. The horses have been racing like Rocket ships the past 15 years at Menangle, and contrary to NoworNever's comment above , they all get a go as it is a Front Line Only . 10 across. So no interference. No-one in your bloody road if you're good enough , and the fastest horse will always WIN. They're all way too fast for you blokes to pick any winners lol .😁👍🔥 I'll give you one though . DON HUGO. he's a bit of a ripper lol 🤣. and TOKYO ROSE in the Mares races coming up soon for Grimson. Watch em' burn !!! 🔥
    • Lea Farms' Thunder Chuck (Good Magic) will make his first start beyond 6 1/2 furlongs when he goes postward in the one-mile Mucho Macho Man Stakes at Gulfstream Park Saturday. Trainer Jorge Delgado said he is hoping the race is a first step towards a possible trip on the Triple Crown trail for the chestnut gelding. “We're trying to see how far we can get with him. Hopefully, this will be a step to the graded stakes on the route to the Derby,” Delgado said. “The horse has been good in his training. We're expecting a good performance from him.” A maiden winner going five furlongs at Monmouth Park in June, Thunder Chuck was fourth in the Aug. 2 GII Saratoga Special and was second in the Nov. 22 Juvenile Sprint Stakes at Gulfstream last time out. “He definitely left a good impression last time when he broke from the number one post position and was stuck on the rail for most of the race, and he managed to finish second to a very good horse,” Delgado said. “With more experience, we're hoping he'll run well with a good trip.” Delgado is confident that the one-turn mile will be within Thunder Chuck's scope in the Mucho Macho Man, for which he will break from the far-outside number nine post position under David Egan. “He has shown in his breezes that he won't have a problem going the distance. His post position is beautiful, thankfully. We have our jockey on the horse and the horse is feeling good,” Delgado said. “I think we'll bring something to the table Saturday.” Also looking to earn a spot on the Triple Crown trail in the Mucho Macho Man Saturday is Baron Thoroughbreds' homebred Tripp's Promise (Promises Fulfilled). “He's a good athlete and a smart horse,” trainer Dale Romans said. “We'll see how high up the ladder he can climb.” A debut winner going 6 1/2 furlongs at Churchill in September, the bay colt was second and third in a pair of one mile and 40 yard allowance contests in Louisville in October and November, respectively. “The last two races were good. He settled in and came running,” Romans said. “To me, this race sets up well. It looks like there's a lot of speed, if it materializes.” Romans also trained Tripp's Promise's sire, who was a front-running winner of the 2018 Fountain of Youth and went on to become a multiple Grade I-winning sprinter. “His father was lightning fast and he comes from off the pace,” Romans said. “But he shows what a solid sire his father has been for the little numbers he's had. He's been a really good sire, but there aren't a lot of similarities between the two.” Jose D'Angelo will saddle P and G Stable's Cabourg (Munnings) in the Mucho Macho Man. A first-out winner at Churchill in September, the chestnut colt missed by just a neck when second over the same track and distance he will face Saturday. “He always showed talent. That's why I brought him to Kentucky first time out and he won the race,” D'Angelo said. “His last race, he broke too sharp from the gate and he just wanted to go, go, go and never relaxed. In his last workout, I put horses in front of him to get him to relax, like he did the first time out.” Wathnan Racing's Commandment (Into Mischief) is the 7-5 morning-line favorite for the Mucho Macho Man following a 5 1/4-length maiden win at Churchill Downs Nov. 1 for trainer Brad Cox. The Mucho Macho Man is the first local step towards the GI Curlin Florida Derby to be contested at Gulfstream Mar. 28. It will be followed by the 1 1/16-mile GIII Holy Bull Stakes Jan. 31 and the 1 1/8-mile GII Fountain of Youth Stakes Feb. 28.
