Well now we await the revised assessment of the local experts e.g. @Transparency , @JJ Flash , @Newmarket and a number of others. This announcement reinforces my original assessment that ENTAINS discretions (Ladbrokes and Neds before ENTAIN bought them) are at the low end of the scale and any financial penalty will not be substantial and possibly confined to remedial action. -

Kim Weir, the Director of Strategic Growth for Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga, and an active volunteer with the Chaplaincy, has been named the inaugural Nancy Kelly Volunteer Award winner, according to a New York Race Track Chaplaincy release Sunday. The award will be presented annually to a person or people for outstanding volunteer efforts in support of the organization. Weir will be honored at a luncheon at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, NY on Nov. 11. The master of ceremonies will be longtime NYRA announcer Tom Durkin. Kelly, a longtime volunteer and supporter of the New York Race Track Chaplaincy, served as president and vice president of the NY Chaplaincy after retiring from her long and distinguished career with The Jockey Club. Nancy passed away after a long illness on Feb. 9, 2024. “As she did with every aspect of her life, Nancy Kelly set the gold standard for volunteerism at the Chaplaincy and we felt that this was an appropriate way to honor her memory and her legacy,” said Humberto Chávez, the executive director and lead chaplain of the NYRTCA. Of the initial winner, Chavez said, “Kim Weir is deeply involved with numerous other racing community activities but always finds time to help us in an extraordinary manner and this award recognizes that commitment.” A native of San Diego, with degrees from the University of Virginia and the College of William & Mary, Weir previously served as the director of donor engagement for the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation.

With her winning momentum abruptly halted last time, many would have made the presumption that Barnavara (Calyx) was at a plateau but Alpha Racing's flagbearer was not having any of that on Sunday. Ruthlessly dominant in The Curragh's G2 Moyglare Jewels Blandford Stakes, the 6-1 shot had the notable yardsticks One Look (Gleneagles) and Red Letter (Frankel) trailing in her wake as she registered a third Stakes win under Shane Foley. “She's a fantastic filly and is improving all the time,” trainer Jessica Harrington said. “She's a big filly and with each race she gets better and better. I thought Hotazhell would run well yesterday and he did, but she was my best chance because of her form and I thought every bit of rain was going to help her, because she will go on softer ground. She'll go to Paris on Arc weekend for the Prix de l'Opera–a Group 1 is the natural way to go.” Placed in three Group races at two, Barnavara had beaten Red Letter in Navan's Listed Kooyonga Stakes over a mile before adding the G3 Al Shira'aa Racing Jannah Rose Stakes to her tally over an extended 10 furlongs at Naas in June. Having finished third to that peer under a penalty in the nine-furlong G3 Snow Fairy Stakes last month, all logic suggested the Juddmonte filly had improved past her since early summer but this served as a comprehensive denial of that. Domineering from the front, she became only the second winner on the card to beat standard time along with the Irish Leger hero Al Riffa. Pedigree Notes Barnavara, who is one of her deceased sire's six Group winners, is out of Alfea (Kentucky Dynamite) whose family features the Poule d'Essai des Poulains and Prix du Jockey Club-winning leading sire Lope De Vega, the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis hero Danceteria (Redoute's Choice) and the G3 Prix de Lieurey winner and Prix de l'Opera-placed Lady Frankel (Frankel). Her yearling filly by Blackbeard was a 300,000gns purchase by Liam Norris and Huntingdon Bloodstock at Tattersalls December and will be offered again at the upcoming Tattersalls October Book 1, while she also has a filly foal by St Mark's Basilica.
