    • Insulted at 8-1, Zavateri (Without Parole) stepped up again as he had at Newmarket to make light of a three-pound penalty in Tuesday's G2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood. Impressive in last month's G2 July Stakes, Mick and Janice Mariscotti's great-grandson of Zarkava was again forced to race wide without cover but once more produced that emphatic turn of acceleration for Charles Bishop to swamp the leaders a furlong out and hold Morris Dancer (Palace Pier) by a short head. Do Or Do Not (Space Blues) was in the frame for the third time in a Group race, 1 3/4 lengths away in third. Trainer Eve Johnson Houghton was impressed. “He had to win his race twice, he amazes me, what a dude he is,” she said. “He is so straightforward at home, through the race and is not a hard ride so touch wood long may it last. We had to go somewhere with a Group Two penalty and I thought if he was beaten here it would be because of that. I had it in my mind he would have a nice break until the Dewhurst, but it didn't beat him. He cut through the pack like a knife through butter and was going again at the end.” The post ‘Like A Knife Through Butter’: Johnson Houghton In Awe Of Penalty-Defying Vintage Hero Zavateri appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Field Of Gold will stake his claim to being the best horse in the world when he tackles the Group One Sussex Stakes (1,600m) at Goodwood on Wednesday. The John and Thady Gosden-trained star is already the highest rated three-year-old in the world but could become the outright best horse on the planet when he takes on the likes of Henri Matisse, Rosallion and Docklands. The striking grey has won three of his four starts this campaign and is unlucky to not be unbeaten, suffering a narrow defeat in...View the full article
    • Thanks, yes my point exactly.    As for jumping races, I have always looked them, one of the first times I went to Riccarton I remember Grey Warbler winning.    So it’s not about me disliking jumping, it’s what is happening lately in these jumping races.. too many falling, maybe inexperienced riders, maybe dodgy tracks….. I was pointing out that once the anti racing types jump on it jumps racing will be gone. Some may say I’m dreaming, but 5 yrs ago nobody would have thought dog racing would be banned.     
    • Isn't Winton a track that produces fast times .....this looks good on a horses CV and maybe increases sales value ! Re Christchurch trainers getting around the rules that intend all horses to be genuine Southern trained horses isn't this typical of Harness folk in general.....study the 'rules/conditions' then quickly look at loopholes or ways of 'getting in the back door' ! THis comment was made by a recent CEO of HRNZ ,after a breeding bonus was announced ! But as noted earlier in thread this is a promotion that has worked well. Many will remember the good ole days when South Island  harness closed for all of July and most of June , and Southland for a bit longer . So dare i say ' well done HRNZ ( and Entain ).
