    • It does not make sense to me. Some of the big liabilities they claim on some of these horses and the price movement does not support the numbers so either they are: - Gambling on the result (Unlikely given they are so anal on managing risk) - Somehow laying off the liability somewhere. Maybe internally with their other bookmakers Ladbrokes or similar.  - Not telling the truth and giving the impression you can win big with them and $100k loss is like water off a ducks back.  I am going with option three at this stage. 
    • It's starting to look like Rugby in Auckland is going down  the same path Horse Racing is, the power base for our economy as well as our National sport is well and truly in the provinces, , there has always been a divide from Auckland and the rest of NZ, seems its getting bigger.still the majority of people living in NZ still live outside Auckland, very soon the Majority in Auckland will be migrants, and as they dont care about Horse Racing or Rugby Auckland will continue to drift further away from what NZ use to be and should be,  maybe it should become a seperate state of its own, oh dear, how sad, never mind.
    • Whilst Dapto Lease ends  30 June 2026 The Greyhound Club have decided to Go Out With A Bang. Their Last Meeting will be The Group 1 Ladbrokes Megastar on Sept 11 this year.So Galah,you need to book those flights quick smart. I had pleasure of attending their famous Puppy Auction with contingent of Kiwi Buyers 15 odd years ago.
    • What Sale Races Where Sale Turf Club – 1227 Maffra-Sale Rd, Sale VIC 3850 When Sunday, January 17, 2025 First Race 12:15pm AEST Visit Dabble Horse racing in Victoria heads to the Sale Turf Club on Sunday afternoon, where a competitive eight-race meeting is set down for decision. With showers on the forecast, the track is expected to deteriorate from the Soft 5 rating, while the rail sticks in its true position the entire circuit. The first race at Sale is set to jump at 12:15pm local time. Best Bet at Sale: Star Of Beirut Star Of Beirut made the perfect debut at Mildura, running down the leaders late in a race that rated well for the grade, and he strikes another very winnable BM64 second-up. He maps to land just off a genuine tempo from gate four, and with Ben Allen staying aboard, the Zoustar gelding should get every chance to quicken through the line. The lightly raced profile screams upside, he handles soft going, and the Henry Dwyer stable is humming. With even luck, Star Of Beirut can make it two wins from two starts. Best Bet Race 5 – #2 Star Of Beirut (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Henry Dwyer | J: Ben Allen (59kg) Next Best at Sale: Maxxi Bon Maxxi Bon was strong through the line winning at the mile last start at Sale, and looks ready for 1700m now. He’s a neat on-speed/midfield style who can absorb pressure and still kick, and Ben Allen’s booking again is a plus. From the awkward draw, expect intent early to slide across and find cover; if he lands one-off in the first four, his sustained gallop becomes a real weapon at Sale. With key rivals resuming or searching for form, the Wendy Kelly-trained gelding brings the most reliable current platform to this, and a repeat of his latest figures should be enough. Next Best Race 8 – #6 Maxxi Bon (13) 5yo Gelding | T: Wendy Kelly | J: Ben Allen (60kg) Best Value at Sale: Battaglia Battaglia is fit, racing well, and has twice performed strongly at Sale this prep, including a tough on-speed placing two starts ago. From barrier five, Koby Jennings should find a stalking spot behind a solid tempo, and the 60kg is offset by a proven record at the distance and on soft ground. Several fancied runners are either first-up or query at the trip — that’s the edge to shop a price with horse racing bookmakers. If the pattern suits horses building from just off the speed, Battaglia is the one to be chiming in late. Best Value Race 7 – #2 Battaglia (5) 8yo Gelding | T: Brett Scott | J: Koby Jennings (60kg) Sunday quaddie tips for Sale Sale quadrella selections Sunday, August 17, 2025 1-2-5 2-3-5-7-9 2-6-8-7 1-4-6-9 Horse racing tips View the full article
    • Private Eye ridden by Nash Rawiller wins the Group 2 P.B. Lawrence Stakes at Caulfield. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Private Eye turned a weather-detour into a statement spring opener, rolling straight to the front and controlling the Group 2 P.B. Lawrence Stakes (1400m) before kicking clear late. The eight-year-old, partnered by Nash Rawiller, was vetted at the gates after striking his head but never looked troubled once the lids flew, stretching away to defeat Desert Lightning by two lengths with Here To Shock another half-length away in third. The win arrived a week after the washed-out Group 2 Missile Stakes forced Joe Pride to abandon Sydney plans and truck his stable star south. Rawiller, who first won this race in 2006 on Pompeii Ruler, judged the tempo perfectly and eased off the rail in the straight before asking for an effort that promptly settled the contest. It was Private Eye’s 13th interstate trip and his second start of 2025, a light campaign Pride believes is keeping the gelding sharp. On a Soft 6, Private Eye stopped the clock at 1:25.96 and nudged career earnings beyond $12.3 million—his 13th win and seventh at black-type level. Pride flagged the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) back at Caulfield on August 30 as a live option, with track conditions to dictate whether they return to Melbourne or pivot to Sydney. It wasn’t just the manner of victory but the authority: a seasoned sprinter-miler absorbing the shove of the early lead, relaxing mid-race, then lengthening when challenged. 2025 Group 2 P.B.
