What Hamilton Races Where Hamilton Racing Club – Henty Hwy (Cavendish Rd), Hamilton VIC 3300 When Tuesday, December 10, 2024 First Race 1:30pm AEDT Visit Dabble A new week of racing in Victoria is set to get underway at Hamilton Racing Club on Monday afternoon, where a competitive eight-race meeting is scheduled. Clear skies in the lead-up to the meeting and on race day should mean that the Soft 7 track rating at the time of acceptances should be about a Soft 5 come race day. The rail comes out 3.5 from the 900mm to the 400m, whilst it remains true for the remainder. The first race at Hamilton is set to jump at 1:30pm AEST. Best Bet at Hamilton: Unplanned Revolt Unplanned Revolt has built a bulletproof platform for this step to 2200m. The Rebel Raider gelding was dominant winning his maiden over 1700m at Warrnambool two runs back before a brave second at Naracoorte over 2000m when asked to make the speed. He handles genuine wet ground, maps to land handy again from barrier nine, and should roll into the race before the home turn with Tom Madden sticking. In a BM56 lacking depth, his upside and platform on heavy going make him the horse to beat. Best Bet Race 6 – #1 Unplanned Revolt (9) 6yo Gelding | T: Shane Jackson | J: Tom Madden (63kg) Next Best at Hamilton: Furrina Furrina found winning form last start and gets conditions to suit in the 1100m closer. She’s won two of her past four and did it with well-timed front running steers. Sticking to BM56 level, she draws out, but that can be an advantage late in the day at Hamilton, and the 1.5kg claim keeps her nicely in at the weights. Expect Jordyn Weatherly to use Furrina’s early speed to her advantage and have the mare lead the field throughout. If she runs to her recent figures, she’ll take a power of beating. Next Best Race 8 – #3 Furrina (12) 4yo Mare | T: Tom Dabernig | J: Jordyn Weatherley (a1.5) (62.5kg) Best Value at Hamilton: Royal Inference Royal Inference is thriving at this trip and looks over the odds with horse racing bookmakers in a winnable BM56. He led throughout to score last time at Casterton, so he’s clearly in the zone. Soft ground holds no fears; he draws to use his tactical speed, and the claim helps offset the impost. With limited swoopers engaged, he can find the front or box-seat and give a big kick on the turn. If he reproduces his recent 1400m figures, he’s the one they’ll have to run down. Best Value Race 5 – #2 Royal Inference (5) 5yo Gelding | T: Peter Chow | J: Jordyn Weatherley (a1.5) (62kg) Monday quaddie tips for Hamilton Hamilton quadrella selections Monday, September 15, 2024 1-2-5-8 1-2-7-9 1-3-4-5-7 1-3-6 Horse racing tips View the full article -
AUSTRAC Drops Claims Against Entain, Narrows Investigation By Maria Khomeriki - 12 September 2025 AUSTRAC, Australia’s financial crime regulator, has reduced its claims against Entain while continuing to investigate potential breaches of anti-money laundering (AML) rules. The investigation concerns Entain’s Australian subsidiaries — Ladbrokes and Neds — and was launched in December 2024 over suspicions of the group’s involvement in money laundering and fraud through criminal accounts. AUSTRAC alleges that the company failed to fully comply with AML procedures, allowing 17 high-risk customers to spend AUD 152 million (£74.2 million / $94.2 million) without proper checks. In particular, Entain is accused of allowing a player with significant links to drug trafficking to launder over AUD 20 million ($12.6 million) through its operations. Narrowing Focus In its updated statement, AUSTRAC removed claims that Entain breached its duties as a remittance provider under AML and counter-terrorism financing laws by failing to report suspicious transactions in and out of customer accounts. The company argues that it is not a remittance provider, meaning it does not facilitate money transfers as its core service. AUSTRAC’s decision is partially understandable given its policy regarding companies that fall under the definition of a remittance provider. The AUSTRAC website notes that some companies, including online gambling providers, may transfer funds overseas on behalf of their customers, but this is secondary to their main business. According to the regulator, such transfers “do not constitute a formal remittance system.” Entain Remains Under Scrutiny Despite narrowing its claims, AUSTRAC continues to insist that Entain breached its obligations as a gambling operator. Specifically, the company allegedly failed to intervene when a player with significant links to drug trafficking wagered over $1 million in a year. In April, Entain CEO Stella David told iGaming Expert: “We take these allegations extremely seriously and continue to fully cooperate with AUSTRAC. We are committed to keeping financial crime out of gambling and continuing to support a well-regulated and compliant sector for our customers, stakeholders, and the wider community.” Former CEO Gavin Isaacs, who abruptly left his role in February 2025, previously noted that the group is implementing further improvements to Entain Australia’s AML and CTF compliance measures. Entain and AUSTRAC remain in mediation, and the group has set aside £51 million ($64.8 million) to address the matter, although Entain claims the amount relates to accounting and does not reflect a potential penalty. -

Almost as good an investment as Entain shares?

A return to black-type competition is just around the corner for Midnight Edition (NZ) (Wrote), who kicked off his four-year-old season with a runaway victory in the Power Farming – We Keep You Growing (1200m) at Te Rapa on Sunday. The Wrote gelding gave a glimpse of his potential as a three-year-old last season with three wins and three placings, headed by a second in the Gr.2 Auckland Guineas (1400m) at Ellerslie. He initially dead-heated with Yaldi in that Boxing Day feature, but was relegated in the inquiry room. Midnight Edition also beat a strong field in his maiden win at Te Rapa last spring, where Checkmate and Levakia filled the minor placings, and he later ran fifth in the Gr.3 Bonecrusher Stakes (1400m), fifth in the Gr.3 King’s Plate (1200m) and eighth in the Gr.2 Waikato Guineas (2000m). He signed off his season with a hard-fought win over Celestial Wonder in a 1200m race at Te Rapa in April. Some 154 days later, Midnight Edition returned to racing on Sunday over the same course and distance –this time in open company and against a highly talented sprint line-up. But Midnight Edition proved to be a class above them. Midnight Edition jumped well from gate seven among a nine-horse field, and jockey Masa Hashizume slotted him into a handy position in second behind Caitlyns Wish. The challengers were lining up and breathing down the neck of the leader coming up to the home turn, and none of those were travelling better than Midnight Edition. He pounced at the top of the straight while Hashizume still had him under a tight hold. The favourite Twain briefly loomed as a danger down the middle of the track, but Hashizume shook the reins and Midnight Edition kicked away. He opened up a margin of three and a quarter lengths over Twain, with the winner’s half-sister Midnight Scandal crossing the line another two lengths away in third. Midnight Edition has now had 13 starts for four wins, three placings and $153,050 in stakes. He is the only horse in work and the pride and joy for Pukekohe trainer Bruce Wallbank. “He’s a bloody good horse,” Wallbank said. “He had a very good spell and I thought he was a bit fat coming into this race and would probably need the run. But he’s been galloping brilliantly and he’s shown that he’s a very good horse. “We’ll probably head towards the big sprint race at Otaki next month. In the meantime, I’d like to dedicate this race to my brother, who’s very unwell in hospital.” That potential target is the Gr.3 Spring Sprint (1400m), which will be run for a stake of $120,000 at Otaki on October 11. “It was good to see his half-sister run well in that race today too,” Wallbank added. “The mare’s had three good horses from three foals to race (three-race winner Midnight Mass and black-type performers Midnight Scandal and Midnight Edition), so she’s a fantastic broodmare.” View the full article
