Out of interest how do they restrict you more than anyone else on a self service machine? I walk into my local pub with a machine and the tab wouldn’t have a clue who’s placing the bet? Granted if you win over a certain amount you need Id. -

Jamie Melham will bid to become the first female jockey to claim a coveted double in Australian horse racing when she rides Caulfield Cup winner Half Yours in the A$9 million (US$5.85 million) Melbourne Cup at Flemington on Tuesday. Last month, Melham became the first woman to win the Caulfield Cup in its 149-year history, guiding the Tony and Calvin McEvoy-trained Half Yours to an emphatic victory in the A$5 million handicap over 2,400 metres. Ten years after Michelle Payne’s breakthrough on...View the full article -

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk Surely they can’t be a more popular winner at Kaikoura today than Rachmaninov. The veteran trotter, having his 289th start, outstayed his rivals to win the Smartpanel Construction Ltd Trot. It was his second start in two days, his 12th career win and it pushed him over $200,000 in career earnings. “Everyone’s so stoked with him,” says co-breeder, co-owner and trainer Trevor Grant. “He really is everyone’s favourite horse isn’t he? After a safe beginning Rachmaninov went up to sit parked with a lap to go before Robbie Close went to the lead at about the 600 metre mark. He held on to win by more than a length. The win came just 24 hours after his second placing in a heat of the World Driving Championship for Frenchman Pierre Vercruysse behind the impressive Hoof It Hagrid. “I said to Pierre, just drive him like a diesel tractor!” Monday’s victory was his second in 35 starts this year and while he is 10 years old he is clearly racing in fine fettle. Until last year Grant had been hesitant to line up his grand old trotter at South Bay. “I didn’t start here him until he was a nine-year-old because I didn’t think he’d go around the bends but he goes as good here as anywhere.” Last year he finished second in his Kaikoura debut and now he has a win and a second this year. Grant has been inundated with well wishers since the win. It’s a testament to a popular harness racing figure and a very popular horse. View the full article -

Europe has flexed its muscle on day two of the World Driving Championship in Kaikoura. Firstly it was Jaap van Rijn from the Netherlands who took out Heat 4 and then it was Germany’s Michael Nimczyk who prevailed in the second and final heat of the day with the Matt Purvis-trained Flying Bird. Their victories completed a hat-trick for the Europeans, following Italian Giampaolo Minnucci’s win in the third heat yesterday. The opening two heats were taken out by Australia’s Gary Hall Junior. In today’s heats It’s Tough produced a powerhouse performance to run away from his opposition for van Rijn. It was the Robert and Jenna Dunn-trained four-year-old’s fifth win in his last six starts. Flying Bird was also tough in her run. She got to the front and then held on for a gritty win as Major Happy and Miki’s Courage charged late. New Zealand’s representative Blair Orange is currently ninth on 22 points, 32 behind Hall, after finishing seventh with Classie Linc in the opening heat today, and then last with Gem N Em. The leaderboard (after five heats) is : Gary Hall Jnr (Australia) 54 James MacDonald (Canada) 41 Giampaolo Minnucci (Italy) 37 Michael Nimczyk (Germany) 33 Pierre Vercruysse (France) 32 Santtu Raitala (Finland) 28 Brett Beckwith (USA) 28 Jaap van Rijn (Netherlands) 25 Blair Orange (New Zealand) 22 Mats Djuse (Sweden) 17 The WDC now heads to Cambridge for a further five heats on Wednesday.

Jaap van Rijn (The Netherlands) has registered his first win at the World Driving Championship. And it was a powerhouse performance at the South Bay race course in Kaikoura in heat 4 of the WDC. Van Rijn made a mid race move with favourite It’s Tough and from there it was all over. The Robert and Jenna Dunn-trained four year old has been in outstanding form and just powered away from his opposition to win effortlessly. It was his fifth win in his last six starts. For van Rijn it was a welcome return to form. He was last on five points after the opening day at Kaikoura yesterday. The WDC has one more heat today at 2.15pm before heading to Cambridge for five more heats on Wednesday. The WDC overall has 20 heats culminating in a world champion being crowned on IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup day at Addington on Tuesday, November 11. Ten of the world’s best drivers are taking part including New Zealand’s Blair Orange who was sixth equal after the opening day. It’s a brilliant day in Kaikoura for its biggest day of the year.
