Beginning Thursday and continuing through May 1, fans can visit Churchill Downs free of charge from 7-10 a.m. to watch horses preparing for the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Kentucky Oaks. Horses train on Churchill Downs' main track daily from 5:15-10 a.m. There will be an exclusive training window only for Derby and Oaks participants from 7:30-7:45 a.m. following the 7-7:30 a.m. renovation break. Those horses will be identified by special saddle towels which include their names: yellow saddle towels for Derby horses and pink saddle towels for Oaks contenders. Guests can enter Churchill Downs through the Clubhouse Gate and should park for free in the nearby Yellow Lot for convenient entry. Guests will be directed to Sections 115-117 to watch the morning workouts.

Sam Sangster, Nancy Sexton and Fred Barrelet have all joined The National Stud (TNS) Board, the stud announced on Tuesday. SireCam creator Sangster runs the Manton Thoroughbreds syndicate, as well as a bloodstock agency, while Sexton possesses pedigree knowledge and an astute understanding of the international Thoroughbred market. Formerly clinical director at Rossdale's Veterinary Surgeons, Barrelet is a veterinary delegate for the FEI veterinary committee. Chairman Lord Grimthorpe said, “We are very lucky to have secured three outstanding new members who will bring a wide variety and vital range of expertise to the board.” Sangster added, “I am thrilled to embrace this role with whole-hearted enthusiasm, and I hope to bring added value to an already well-established team. The location, facilities, staff, and rich history at the National Stud are truly among the best in the industry. I am excited to be part of the path they are heading towards–it promises to be a very exciting journey.” “I'm delighted and honoured to join the board of the National Stud, it's such an important part of the British bloodstock landscape and it continues to serve an extremely valuable role as far as education is concerned with a heartening momentum behind the current courses,” said Sexton.

A new indoor equine therapeutic centre named in memory of Jack de Bromhead will be built this year, ChildVision announced on Tuesday. Based in Drumcondra, ChildVision is a specialist therapy and education centre for children with visual impairment. The new indoor facility will give them access to the best global equine activities all year round, crucially through the winter months and in bad weather conditions. Spearheaded by de Bromhead family friend and well-known racehorse owner Chris Jones–and with the blessing of Jack's parents Heather and Henry–the €1,000,000 donation target required to complete the equine therapeutic centre was reached last December. The de Bromhead family–Henry, Heather and their daughters Mia and Georgia–said of today's announcement, “The equine centre will be a wonderful legacy for our beloved Jack, a hugely missed son and brother. Horses are a huge part of our lives, and we know the physical experience of riding a horse offers so many potential benefits, especially helping address a host of physical, social and emotional issues. “More so, it will be a place of learning and hope, full of laughter and joy, traits that were such a part of Jack, all facilitated by the much-treasured horses and ponies that call the ChildVision stables home. We are looking forward to following the development and construction of the new equine therapeutic centre and being there to cut the ribbon when it is completed. “We are forever grateful to those who came on board to support us–we know Jack would be really proud of what this life-changing generosity will enable.” Barry Sheridan, ChildVision CEO, added, “We have an ambitious plan for the ChildVision campus and front and centre was trying to secure funding for an equine therapeutic centre. We had already raised over €500,000 but without this extraordinary fundraising support we would not have been in a position to break ground in 2024 on this vital facility. “We would like to thank the de Bromhead family, Chris Jones and the other wonderful benefactors for enabling our dream to come true. We will ensure that Jack's legacy and that of his loving family, who so generously agreed to share his name with us, will live on for generations to come.” To raise additional funds towards the running costs of ChildVision's equine programme, Kenny Alexander, owner of the four-time Cheltenham Festival winner Honeysuckle, who was trained by Henry, has donated the racing colours that Rachael Blackmore wore in all of their major races. The iconic silks, signed by Rachael, Henry and Kenny, will be auctioned at the Goffs Punchestown Sale on Thursday, May 2.

Minstrel part owned by Robin and jackie Butt ran 2nd and picked up $200,000. ) winner was Kate Gath with last years Miracle Mile winner Catch A Wave. -

I don't think the TAB gonna pour money/advertising into place pools. I suspect they going on Aussie history/experience and challenging people to back winners ...or take the various other options around 'losers' which folk can build into their multis which growing in popularity by the week ! Field sizes in NZ overall seem to be shrinking so paying out 3 x dividends per race seems a bit 'boring'. And possibly not showing place prices on TV screen immediate before a race is surely a huge hint. Challenge yourself to pick winners or a a decent multi with a few first 3 ,4 or 5 options . No ,if Brodie wants a challenge to show his skill and do better than the rest of us he should back on the nose , or throw his astute place chances into multis. Better advice would be to bet on the tote ,become a VIP and negotiate a Rebate and some nice trips and fancy functions. Or take up bridge ! At least he should discuss his 'wants' and 'needs' with TAB bosses and develop a working relationship with them. The TAB & BGP ,have developed a WIN/WIN relationship ...a term you often use....they even have helped the TAB get new people [thousands] to open accounts but they have to negotiate their big bets with the Ma and Pa bets small stakes...the TAB often says NO cos they want and need to make a profit off BGP , and they do ! They certainly not going to endorse big bets on small place pools ......not so long ago they used to pay out what the weight of bets on a race justified....and place prices were less than a $. They starting giving money back !
