Yeah , but they'll still give something. They have a Monopoly on the NZ betting by banning Off shore betting , so Entain /TAB have a good thing going and will contribute past this 'Dreaded Five years thing ' that yourself and Brodie go on with all the time . You yourself said the Share price for the Company was doing Very Well this year ? doubled in fact. Chief said they have set aside $100,000,000 in some form , in case the AUSTRAC Federal case , costs them something in fines . And thinks its just small change in the Billion (s) they clear annually globally. They won't let Racing die in NZ . Gallop or trots. Some fellow will will keep it going. A Shame Dean Shannon left , a great racing supporter . But Entain are replacing 10 or so Executives worldwide. so will be Business as Usual. hopefully with less of the Money Laundering, but man, that this is Hard to Stop . Although as you say the Race Stakemoney might be reduced , from reduced punting revenue on racing these days. -

The first foal by Cambridge Stud stallion Chaldean has hit the ground with a filly foal out of the winning Burgundy mare Top Note born at Pencarrow Stud. The bay filly was bred by Lachlan Fitt and Cameron Rodger and stems from the family of Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks winner Belle En Rouge. “She’s out of a maiden mare but has a lot of quality about her,” stud manager Leon Casey said. “She’s got good leg under her and good rein and has a fair bit of class about her.” The only Group One winning two-year-old by Frankel at stud in the Southern Hemisphere, Chaldean won three stakes races as a juvenile, including the Gr.1 Dewhurst Stakes (1400m) before claiming the Gr.1 2000 Guineas (1600m) at three. Standing his second season at $35,000+GST, the royally-bred son of Frankel shuttles from Juddmonte Farms Banstead Manor Stud in the UK and will cover a limited book of 120 mares.

Synthetic specialist Gemma Flitz (NZ) (Telperion) continued her purple patch of form on Riccarton’s polytrack on Thursday when taking out the Stable Books and Ardex Supporting NZ Trainers Open (1200m). It caps an outstanding preparation for the daughter of Telperion, who has won three and placed in three of her six starts this year, highlighted by her last-start victory in the $100,000 Polytrack Championship (1200m). Gemma Flitz was sent out a $1.80 favourite to repeat that result on Thursday, but she didn’t have things all her own way. While perfectly positioned in the one-one by apprentice jockey Amber Riddell, pacemaker Delphillius opened up several margins on the pack, and Riddell had to begin her chase from the 400m. Gemma Flitz continued to eat into Delphillius’s lead, finally heading her in the final 100m, and she was able to hold out the fast-finishing Dimaggio to win by a neck. “She’s a tough wee button,” trainer Ross Beckett said. “I think she is going to get over a bit more ground. She is starting to settle and I don’t think 1400m or a mile will worry her next prep.” Beckett has been rapt with his seven-year-old’s preparation, and said her connections are enjoying a great ride with the now six-win mare. “She has done a great job and I have been very lucky with the owners, they have let me take my time with her since I have had her,” he said. “We have just brought her through quietly and now they are reaping the rewards.” Gemma Flitz has recorded all but one of her career victories on the synthetic track, and Beckett said it is a godsend for some horses over winter. “She wouldn’t be in work if it wasn’t for the polytrack,” he said. “She likes the tracks nice and firm, and that just shows that the poly has got its place.” Gemma Flitz will now have a freshen-up but will stay at Beckett’s Yaldhurst property in preparation for some late spring targets. “She will stay at the stables and go out in a grass paddock during the day and come in each night,” he said. “It is just too cold to turn them out after being in through the winter. “She will do that over the next two or three weeks and then we will try and find a nice race for her over Cup Week.” Stakes targets are now in the offing for Gemma Flitz, but Beckett has yet to identify any targets. “We are going to have to start looking at some (stakes races),” Beckett said. “It would be good if we can get a bit of black print around her and put a bit of value on her for the owners. “We will just wait and see. There are plenty of them (stakes races) around, we will just bring her through and take one step at a time.” View the full article -

Joshua Brown’s (NZ) (Dalghar) victory in last month’s Listed Opunake Cup (1400m) was more than 30 years in the making for the Gussey family, and on Saturday he will be seeking to add to his burgeoning record in the Gr.2 Waikato Stud Foxbridge Plate (1200m) at Te Rapa. The Dalghar six-year-old was bred by Ronald Gussey, who trained for more than three decades, and while he recorded eight victories on the track, a stakes win remained elusive. It would be as a breeder that he would realise that dream, but he wouldn’t be there to see it, with the Cambridge horseman passing away a couple of years ago. His son, Lance Gussey, picked up the mantle and took out his trainer’s license to carry on his father’s legacy. He has struck gold with Joshua Brown, who has taken him on a sentimental journey, winning four of his 14 starts, including his first tilt at stakes level in the Opunake Cup. “I am living his dream,” said Lance Gussey, referring to his father’s love of racing. “People go their whole lives and not get that far (stakes win), I know my Dad did.” Gussey said Joshua Brown bounced through his Opunake Cup victory, and he has been itching to get back to the races. “He came out of that like he hadn’t even really had a run,” Gussey said. “It has been a little hard to keep him quiet in the last month, but he is going well and he is eating up like he needs to.” It will be five weeks between runs, a little longer than Gussey usually prefers, but he said his charge is ready to put in a good showing this weekend. “I usually space them (races) about three weeks, so this is a bit longer than normal,” he said. “When we did it for the Opunake, he only had two, which worked really well, but it’s all a guessing game.” Joshua Brown has drawn barrier nine for Saturday and will be partnered once again by Lynsey Satherley. “I am very happy about that (draw),” Gussey said. “We are just praying for a little bit more rain, but apart from that I am looking forward to it.” Following Saturday, Joshua Brown is set to return to Te Rapa next month to have his first tilt at elite-level in the Gr.1 Howden Insurance Mile (1600m), a distance Gussey believes will be more to his liking. “I think he is preferred at the mile,” Gussey said. “I think the 1200m is a little bit short for him, so we thought we would put him in this one and see how he goes.” View the full article
