    • Less than 48 hours after Team Godolphin celebrated Horse of the Year success, among other plaudits, at the Eclipse Awards ceremonies in nearby Palm Beach, KNIGHTSBRIDGE (h, 5, Nyquist–Tyburn Brook, by Bernardini) kept the good times rolling, as he contested a hot pace outside of his less-experienced chief market rival Life and Times (Justify), got the better of that duel turning for home and kicked on gamely to take out Saturday's GIII Fred W. Hooper Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Favored at 4-5 off a maiden success at the graded level in the seven-furlong GIII Mr. Prospector Stakes last time, the homebred bounced away alertly from gate six and argued the pace from the outside, as Life and Times, big-figure winner of each of his two career starts to date, showed the way through an opening quarter mile in :23.64 down the chute and they were at each other after four furlongs in :45.25. Going nicely in hand on the turn, Knightsbridge nosed in front under a hold at the five-sixteenths, opened a winning margin and held sway to the wire, as 26-1 Back Em Up (Take Charge Indy) spiced up the exotics. Life and Times managed to hold on for third. Lifetime Record: 7-5-1-1. O/B-Godolphin (KY); T-Bill Mott   The post Knightsbridge Wins Battle and War In Fred W.

    • yes that lee stable has a couple of really good short course trotters. i watched leap to fame win last night.Simply much too good.you would have enjoyed that gamma. kingman hung terribly throughout and really did well to hang in there until the last bit although laep to fame well clear from the rest.. kingman really needs to be in front and on the inside dictating his own line as he simply couldn't beat a champ like leap to fame hanging like he did.He did hang when he won the nz cup,but last night he was much worse.
    • i would much prefer kiwis to be in charge. The aussies seem to be so short term focused and happy to prioritise the influential sectors of the industry at the expense of the grass roots and the overall industries long term well being. just a receipe that will lead to significant stake cuts. but maybe that explains things. These aussies come over hear,the only ones they really know or spend a lot of time interacting with are the big players who of course will push whats best for themselves.So in  a way,it sort of explains why the likes of mr peden and mr steele prioritise the sectors they do and seem out of touch with what so many think. aussies aye.  bring back the kiwis to those positions before its too late.

    • Saudi businessman Amr Zedan is in investment talks with the English Football League's Preston North End club, according to Sky News. In recent weeks, Zedan has been in discussion with Preston North End's board about a possible deal. However, the club, which is chasing a playoff berth, is also in talks with other parties. Zedan is heavily involved with horseracing primarily in California in association with Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert. As an owner under his Zedan Racing Stables banner, he has raced nine graded winners in the U.S. Topping that list are current stallions Taiba (Spendthrift Farm), a three-time Grade I winner, GI Arkansas Derby hero Muth (Gainesway Farm), GI Pacific Classic victor Arabian Knight (Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa), GI Woody Stakes winner Arabian Lion (Spendthrift Farm), and current three-year-old Brant (Gun Runner), a winner of the GI Del Mar Futurity. Zedan also raced GI Preakness Stakes third Medina Spirit. One of Englands oldest football teams, Preston North End has been owned by the Hemmings family since July of 2010. In July of 2024, the Hemmings family drafted Rothschild to determine options for new investment or an ownership change. A spokesperson for Zedan said that Zedan and the club's discussions began in early December “regarding an investment in the club intended to support its long-term Premier League ambitions.” The spokesperson also claimed there was currently a “lack of constructive engagement by club owners as money coming early into the transfer window which is now closing was key to [Zedan's] enthusiasm for supporting the club, its community and loyal fan base”. This weekend, people with close ties to Preston North End disputed those claims. Zedan was one of the interested buyers of Chelsea several years ago when the former owner Roman Abramovich was effectively forced to sell after Russia invaded Ukraine.
