So you arent involved. PBD sprints were not compulsory for top grade or group features and only some tracks for lower grades. Atleast 1 of the board members opposed it, maybe more. As soon as the ban was announced, it was made widespread and mandatory. As for the RIB reports, ive seen it first hand. Anyone with a brain could. -

If you're going to make your stakes debut in graded company, may as well go big, right? Alexander Helios (Cairo Prince) certainly thought so as he took his grudge match with Banishing (Ghostzapper) down to the wire in the GIII Razorback Handicap. It took him eight tries to break his maiden, and a new trainer, but that 2 1/4-length victory beneath the Twin Spires in November 2023 yielded him a 93 Beyer in his first attempt at 1 1/8-miles for the barn of Saffie Joseph Jr.. It took three attempts to graduate from the first-level allowance ranks after he beat optional claimers at Tampa Bay Downs to start his 2024, but he did so at this venue in April last year for trainer Dan Ward. Returning to Joseph in May that season, he was runner-up to MGSW Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}) before going on the shelf until Jan. 18. Making his seasonal bow a successful one at Gulfstream Park, he emerged from that effort with a career-best 95 Beyer, and the betting public saw fit to make him a respectable 8-1 chance to play spoiler. And spoil it, he did. Never letting 3-1 second choice Banishing far out of his sights as the sprinter-turned-two-turn horse rolled along through :23.81, :47.60, and 1:11.42 splits, Alexander Helios was ready to pounce when they swung into the lane. Locking horns from the top of the stretch and slugging it out down to the last jump at the wire, the exacta had to be separated by a photo with a head being the official margin. Always in third and comfortably holding that position to the wire was 2-1 favorite First Mission (Street Sense), who came within a neck of making it a three-way affair for the victory. Alexander Helios is the third to garner black-type for his dam behind Listed-placed Cono (Lucky Pulpit) and GI Preakness Stakes hero Rombauer (Twirling Candy). From seven to the races for Cashmere, six are multiple winners and the seventh is the placed 3-year-old filly Brown Sugar (Twirling Candy). The mare has a juvenile colt by Constitution as well as a yearling colt by Tapit already named Cheval Blanc. She is due to Gun Runner for 2025. Cashmere is an unraced half-sister to a fleet of accomplished racehorses and broodmares, most notably MGSW California Flag (Avenue of Flags) and his full-sister MGSW Cambiocorsa. The latter mare created a female line which yielded the likes of GSW Moulin De Mougin (Curlin) and her daughter GSP Spicer (Quality Road); GSW Schiaparelli (Ghostzapper); SW & GSP Bronson (Medaglia d'Oro); and GISP Vionnet (Street Sense), whose late son–namely multiple Highweight, multiple Group 1-winning Roaring Lion (Kitten's Joy)–propelled her into stardom. Sunday, Oaklawn Park RAZORBACK H.-GIII, $500,000, Oaklawn, 2-23, 4yo/up, 1 1/16m, 1:41.88, ft. 1–ALEXANDER HELIOS, 117, h, 5, by Cairo Prince 1st Dam: Cashmere, by Cowboy Cal 2nd Dam: Ultrafleet, by Afleet 3rd Dam: Social Conduct, by Vigors 1ST BLACK TYPE WIN, 1ST GRADED STAKES WIN.

Sadly Ellerslie isn't an exemplar. They botched their chance and like the AWT white elephants the Industry is now pinned to their mast. -

Typical shallow shit from you! any smart leadership will have their heads around platforms that allow organic feedback! What has been lacking has been the backbone and political nous and intellectual skill to use these social media forums! Of course! anyone that has a understanding of racing history and how as a Industry! especially Head Office! has lagged years behind in the move into the digital area! You reap what you sow! and no amount of snide wailing from the likes of 'shallow peti-bourgeois Pollyanna' like yourself can change that! One does have to wonder what you have chose to continue to sneer and talk smack around SCRC and D? From the outside, they seem to have a active local population trying to make things work! -

Nepotism ? Don't think this word has reached the South Island. For decades 'everyone in NZ Racing ' agreed there were too many tracks but no-one could decide what best for future and certainly didnt want to lose their own. Eventually some 'centralisation ' took place to save many of the wasteful duplication of expense etc. Many clubs just rusted away and the racing DNA of areas rotted with them. From the 80's everyone called for two things.....better track surfaces and higher stakes. Even tho you don't seem to get out much and/or too actual tracks/meetings you must know all this . So we are where we are today. NZ racing has long punched above its weight and has provided an amazing springboard for our best horsemen and horses ...we have never had the betting power to match Australia or even maintain our infrastructure. But Ellerslie doing their best to keep up...kudos to them . The exemplar....and Pukekohe as a back up and within 2hrs of biggest NZ horse population. Just look at last Saurday......Ellerslie tick ,a good competitive card.... Mr Brightside , Jimmystar , MMoroney ,Waller ,Busuttin /Young ,I Wish I win , Per Incanto ,Mickey Dee , James Mac in Dubai. NZ racing , so much to be positive about ! A great time to be involved . Pessimism is for liteweights ! PS....read the Boy who cried Wolf !
