    • Thus me thinking short term it's a good thing. It must cost a fair coin to send dogs overseas. That why I made the suggestion that GRNZ could fund vet care for the life of a greyhound rehomed by them or their agents in a successful NZ adoption. In most case I'd expect the cost incurred for future vet bill would be less than flying them overseas, and also spreads the expenditure over a much longer period. This would make adopting one or two of them a far more attractive for any kiwi looking for a dog.
    • LOL i couldn't work out how to take a 1,2:1,2:F trifecta!  Couldn't find the F option.
    • Aidan O'Brien is to be inducted into the QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame during the QIPCO Guineas Festival at Newmarket on Saturday.  The 54-year-old Irishman follows his Ballydoyle predecessor Vincent O'Brien, along with Sir Michael Stoute and Sir Henry Cecil, as the fourth trainer to be nominated for inclusion in the official Hall of Fame for British Flat racing, which was launched in 2021. He said, “It is incredible, and a privilege for us, as it is something we would never have expected. “The people, and horses, that have gone before us I feel very privileged to have worked with. I can't say how delighted, and honoured, I feel.” Having been chosen for induction by unanimous decision from the eight-strong panel, O'Brien will be presented with his Hall of Fame medal before racing on the day he is set to saddle the odds-on QIPCO 2,000 Guineas favourite City Of Troy. The Justify colt will be bidding to become his trainer's eleventh winner of the first British Classic of the season. O'Brien set the tone from the off in his training career. On his first day as a trainer, June 7, 1993, he sent out Wandering Thoughts (Ire) to win at Tralee. He made his name initially as a trainer of jumpers, having taken over the licence from his wife Annemarie, who followed her father Joe Crowley in training successfully from her family's farm in Owning, Co Kilkenny. Annemarie made history when becoming the first woman to land the National Hunt trainers' championship in 1992/93 and her husband went on to be crowned champion Irish jumps trainer for five consecutive seasons from 1993/94. The O'Briens moved to Ballydoyle in 1996, the year before Aidan became the youngest person, at the age of 26, to win the Irish Flat Trainers' Championship. He won it for a second time in 1999 and has held the title in every subsequent year, training an elite string of horses for John Magnier and his partners in the Coolmore operation, which include Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith, Georg von Opel and Peter Brant. O'Brien has also been champion trainer on six occasions in Britain, where he has won the Derby a record nine times, beginning with Galileo (Ire) in 2001. He also holds the record for the most number of wins in the 2,000 Guineas, with 10 victories, the same as his tally for the Oaks, while he has won the 1,000 Guineas seven times and the St Leger six times. In 2017, he set a training world record of 28 Group/Grade 1 winners in a calendar year, beating the record of 25 held by American trainer Bobby Frankel.  Last year, Henry Longfellow (Ire) became the 4,000th winner of O'Brien's illustrious career when winning the G1 National S. on the trainer's home turf at the Curragh. Aidan and Annemarie O'Brien's two sons, Joseph and Donnacha, are now trainers in their own right, having each been champion jockey in Ireland on two occasions. Paying tribute to his father in a video to mark the occasion, Joseph said, “There have been lots of contributing factors to Dad's success. His work ethic is second to none. Seeing that first hand for several years has been inspiring. “Having access to top-class horses, and achieving the very best, better than anyone could have expected, is another factor towards his success.” He added, “I've learned everything I know about horses from my Mum and Dad. Dad works by setting an example of the dedication he puts towards his way of life. I was incredibly lucky, as have all my siblings been, to grow up in the incredible environment at Ballydoyle, and to be able to ride for Dad.”   The post Aidan O’Brien to Join British Horseracing Hall of Fame appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • I don't think it's that bad, if some of you people can negotiate around a women then this should be a piece of piss., I have no problem negotiating around women, negotiating around them literally lol. In all seriousness though it's just ya average Aussie platform, one or two things I've noted, on the app, it only displays fixed each way or tote each way but on the tablet it shows both, at the bottom of results in has the tote pool, that's good but would be nice to know how much is invested on fixed odds. In the racing hub index it has indexes for horses, jockeys, and trainers, that's handy, maybe it was there before. I suspect the 2 bonus optiins may be where you get a deposit bonus, you may not be able to split that up, the other bonus, you can, I may be wrong.
    • What Warrnambool May Racing Carnival Day 3 Where Warrnambool Racing Club – 2-64 Grafton Rd, Warrnambool VIC 3280 When Thursday, May 2, 2024 First Race 11:15am AEST Visit Dabble The Warrnambool May Racing Carnival will come to a close on Thursday with another 10-race program set down for decision. The time-honoured Grand Annual Steeplechase (5500m) is the feature event, while the Listed Warrnambool Cup (2350m) takes top billing for the flat runners. Clear skies will keep the track in the Soft range, with the rail sticking to its true position once again. Grand Annual Day is set to commence at 11:15am AEST. Grand Annual Steeplechase Tip: Rockstar Ronnie Rockstar Ronnie looks extremely hard to go past as he seeks to defend his Grand Annual crown. Ciaron Maher’s nine-year-old gelding has been set for this race ever since taking it out 12 months ago, and that could hold the key. The son of Stowaway will likely be doing as he pleases out in front, and with just 67.5kg on his back, Will McCarthy can lead from barrier to box once again. Grand Annual Steeplechase Race 7 – #2 Rockstar Ronnie (3) 9yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Will McCarthy (67.5kg) +750 with Picklebet Warrnambool Cup Tip: Little Mix Little Mix beat all but Esti Feny in the Listed Mornington Cup (2400m) on April 20 and looks poised to go one better in the Warrnambool Cup. The five-year-old mare draws to gain every favour in running from barrier two under Blake Shinn. The rain-affected deck should suit the Mahisara mare perfectly, and if the gaps come at the top of the straight, Little Mix should be dancing her way to Cup success. Warrnambool Cup Race 9 – #4 Little Mix (2) 5yo Mare | T: Annabel Neasham | J: Blake Shinn (58kg) +300 with Bet365 Best Bet at Warrnambool: Our Sassy Lady Our Sassy Lady couldn’t have been more impressive when scoring on debut at Sandown. Drawing perfectly in barrier four, the Ocean Park progeny can keep her undefeated start intact. The three-year-old filly offered a nice kick after racing outside the lead on that occasion, and considering she looks to be the only speed influence, Our Sassy Lady can lead from barrier to box. Best Bet Race 2 – #6 Our Sassy Lady (4) 3yo Filly | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Celine Gaudray (55kg) +150 with PlayUp Next Best at Warrnambool: Dashing Duchess Despite drawing the carpark, Symon Wilde’s Dashing Duchess is a stayer on the rise and can return a winner at the ‘Bool. The four-year-old mare has three wins and a second from five career starts, and despite this being her toughest test, she looks more than up to the task. Barrier 20 is offset by her want to settle towards the rear of the field, but with a fast-run 2000m, Dashing Duchess can blouse her rivals. Next Best Race 5 – #1 Dashing Duchess (20) 4yo Mare | T: Symon Wilde | J: Jordan Childs (61.5kg) +700 with Dabble Thursday quaddie tips for Warrnambool races Warrnambool quadrella selections Thursday, May 2, 2024 1-2-3 3-5-9-12 3-4-11 2-4-10-12-13 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
