The International Federation of Horse Racing Authorities (IFHA) will hold its Global Summit on Equine Safety and Technology at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Canada June 12-14, the organization announced Tuesday. The last IFHA International Conference of Horseracing Authorities, which focused on safeguarding equine welfare and shifts in societal expectations, was staged in October 2023. “Equine welfare is racing's single most important priority, and it is at the center of all decisions we make,” said IFHA Chair Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges. “That is why the IFHA has invested significantly in delivering an event that will bring about meaningful enhancements to horse safety and further incorporate cutting-edge technological advances into our systems.” Fracture prevention and exercise associated sudden death (EASD) are two of the issues slated to be investigated, with leaders in these fields delivering both scientific and regulatory workshops throughout the three-day, invitation-only event. The IFHA conference is supported by Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund for Equine Research (a program at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine), The Hong Kong Jockey Club Equine Welfare Research Foundation, in addition to Woodbine Entertainment Group.

I Wish I Win (NZ) (Savabeel) will get the chance to end a frustrating run of narrow misses in feature races when he goes to Eagle Farm in two weeks for the Group 1 Kingsford-Smith Stakes (1300m). Co-trainer and co-owner Peter Moody said on Monday he is pleased with the star sprinter’s condition and recovery following his narrow Doomben 10,000 defeat, despite being not so pleased with him again being edged out in a tight photo. “He ran well but he just didn’t get the cigar and I wanted him to get that cigar,” lamented Moody, who trains in partnership with Katherine Coleman. “He came through it well. The mare (Bella Nipotina) was better on the day. We might have gotten a slightly better run, but no excuses. We had our chance and she ran us down. “He probably goes to the Kingsford-Smith in two weeks, but if he goes beyond that (possibly Stradbroke Handicap), I am not sure.” The scarcely-raced sprinter has been placed in all four runs since his most recent win in the 2023 G1 T.J. Smith Stakes. He was beaten by half a length when first-up in the Memsie Stakes at Caulfield in September, before a 0.4-length defeat in The Everest in October. First-up in the autumn, he was 0.3 lengths off them in the T.J. Smith, before his agonising 0.05-length edge out by Bella Nipotina. All the same, those four placings have earned connections around $3.5 million in prizemoney. View the full article -

Leading jockeys James McDonald and Blake Shinn will on Saturday be tasked with revealing which of former New Zealand fillies Molly Bloom (NZ) (Ace High) and Scarlet Oak (Kermadec) is best equipped for next month’s Gr.1 Queensland Oaks. Shinn takes the ride aboard Molly Bloom and McDonald will partner Scarlet Oak in the G.2 Doomben Roses (2000m) on Saturday in a race which will likely sort out the leading chance for the 2200-metre Oaks, according to their part-owner Ozzie Kheir. Kheir, who has bought into both fillies who began their racing lives in NZ, said that although the three-year-old fillies are at different stages of their development, he finds it hard to lean either way when looking ahead to the Oaks. “Saturday’s race is the best race for both of them at this stage and it will tell us a lot about our Oaks chances,” Kheir said. “Molly Bloom, she is seasoned and is a big, strong girl and she loves her racing, whereas Scarlet Oak, she has done it all in her first prep. “We’ve thrown her into the deep end and there is not a great deal of her. She’s really just doing it on pure talent and raw ability. “We have been thinking about whether to put her out, but she won so well last start she’s forced our hand to give her a chance. “She’s gone from a maiden to a Group race at her next run and then beat the older horses third start pretty convincingly.” Sportsbet too has had trouble splitting the pair, with both Scarlet Oak and Molly Bloom equal at $4.60 for the Group One classic on June 8. Molly Bloom has won four of her nine starts, including the Gr.1 NZ 1000 Guineas (1600m) last November. She ran a fast-finishing second in her Australian debut earlier this month in an 1800m Listed race on the Sunshine Coast. Scarlet Oak won her maiden over 1400m at Matamata in March, before being transferred to Chris Waller’s yard, where she followed a black-type placing at Randwick in April over 1400m with a Newcastle Benchmark win (1600m) against the older horses.
