Thank goodness for the pension deposit tonight TAB. I personally had a shocker also, and I will have to add a month's worth of the pension to balance the account. But wait, the Melbourne Cup meeting is on tomorrow, and the wife will not notice a small amount taken out of her account, especially when I log it as a short-term loan to be repaid around 8 pm -
I don't agree. Another generation from those mentioned, but I think the successful farmers today are way ahead of our racetrack practices in terms of soil management, renovation, grass types for climate and soil types, irrigation etc., allowing for the fact that they are producing grass for a different purpose. To date, the sports field experts engaged don't seem to have done a great job on any of that and the leadership teams generally have no clue. -

Thriving on a busy campaign, the Simon and Ed Crisford-trained Charlotte's Web gained a first Group-race success on her 10th start of 2025 when digging deep to win Sunday's G2 Premio Lydia Tesio at Capannelle Racecourse. Never far away as fellow Newmarket raider Ambiente Amigo (Postponed) took the field along in this early stages of this 10-furlong event, Charlotte's Web moved up to challenge the long-time leader entering the final two furlongs. From there the daughter of Night Of Thunder responded generously to Jack Mitchell's urgings to hit the line a length and a half clear of the never-nearer Pink Black (National Defense), who edged out Endo Botti's Sioux Life (Sioux Nation) and Ambiente Amigo in a bunched finish for the minor placings. The disappointment of the race was home favourite Taany (Teofilo), who was seeking a fourth straight win and lined up in Rome following a four-length defeat of Sioux Life in last month's G3 Premio Verziere Memorial Aldo Cirla at San Siro Racecourse. She was ultimately beaten over three lengths in fifth, weakening in the final furlong after she'd held every chance entering the straight. For Charlotte's Web this was a third victory of the calendar year, the first of which came in a Lingfield handicap all the way back in January. After making her black-type breakthrough in the Listed Sir Henry Cecil Galtres Stakes at York in August, she signed off for the season on home soil with a close-up fourth in Newmarket's G3 Pride Stakes. Market leader Woodchuck (Birchwood) fared better in the other Group 2 on Sunday's card, the Premio Roma Italian Champion. He was pushed all the way by Petit Marin (Flamingo Fantasy) but led where in mattered to get the verdict by a head and add a fifth Group-race success to his impressive tally. Jamie Spencer was out of luck when partnering Hamad Al Jehani's Diego Ventura (Mehmas) to a third-place finish in the Premio Roma Italian Champion, but the rider was already on the scoresheet by then, having been successful in the G3 Premio Guido E Alessandro Berardelli earlier on the card. Dr Omran, who was bought by owner Mahmud Mouni for €62,000 at the Tattersalls Ireland Breeze-up Sale, was Spencer's willing partner, getting off the mark at the fourth attempt to become the fourth black-type winner for his first-season sire, Palace Pier. Completing the quartet of Pattern races on the card was the G3 Premio Ribot Memorial Loreto Luciani, which went the way of Endo Botti's Kabir. The three-year-old continues to be a flagbearer for his sire, Far Above, who has recently been acquired by Renew Italian Breeding and will stand in Italy next year. Pedigree Notes Charlotte's Web is out of the Lope De Vega mare Chamundi Hills, a half-sister to the G3 Prix de Conde and G3 Prix Penelope heroine Luminate (Lawman). Her second dam, Kalandara (Rainbow Quest), is a half-sister to three black-type winners, most notably the multiple Group 1-winning sire Kalanisi.

Looking for the first graded win of his career, Cugino (Twirling Candy–Adorable Miss, by Kitten's Joy) lived up to his odds and checked a higher-level score off his list in the GII Red Smith Stakes at the Big A on Sunday. As the even-money choice here, Cugino tracked Common Defense (Karakontie {Jpn}) from the start and remained as a tracker through the far turn.

Farmers for their time perhaps but methods improved and not many of the old school moved with the times hence the lack of track maintenance.
