    • As the last foals come through first week of December, I presume no stats would be available till early next year   Owners must notify Stud Book of the birth of a foal within 30 days of the birth  
    • Can't agree on that one, it gives them a distorted view of real ownership . You then end up with owners who have no ownership skills , jump in and out of horses, struggle to deal with having a slow one etc. See BGP for example. Not to mention the difference in how they are treated to existing owners, many of whom put $1000s into the sport. Best they stick to @Chief Stipe disco model for those ones.
    • Oh so you know, well let us know the numbers . I'm intrigued , do you also know what the clown show is doing to fix the decline?
    • Despite some wet conditions, Paving (Gun Runner–Point System, by Broken Vow) relished the slop and came home a winner to clear an optional claimer at Fair Grounds on Thursday. A maiden-breaker at first-asking over the Ellis Park main track Aug. 23, the 2-year-old filly was last out of the gate this time around. Paving did not sweat what was ahead of her though and around far turn she started to get into gear. The Highlander Training Center colors of Larry Hirsch flew down the center of the course and she was up in time. Luv Your Neighbor (Constitution) was the runner-up. The final running time was 1:12.31. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0. O-Highlander Training Center; B-Larry Hirsch (KY); T-Tom Amoss.

    • On the first day of scheduled racing at Aqueduct after the jockeys walked out Sunday after the first race, things returned to normal Thursday. The eight-race program was run without any interruptions as the dispute between NYRA and the local riding colony seemed to be on its way to being resolved. According to Kendrick Carmouche, the local representative for the Jockeys' Guild, the riders had several issues with NYRA. A breaking point occurred Sunday when the riders learned that NYRA Assistant Clerk of Scales Brian Pochman was told to go home after he balked at taking on additional duties. NYRA management had asked him to record the weights by hand in case a computer system in place to do the same task malfunctioned. NYRA announced Thursday that it would be installing cameras that will be focused on the scales. “As an additional integrity measure, and to modernize operations, NYRA will be installing surveillance cameras to record the weigh-in and weigh-out process for every race at all NYRA facilities,” a NYRA spokesman said in a statement. “We expect to have this system in place by year end.” In addition, NYRA made changes when it came to the position of assistant clerk of scales. “Effective today, the duties of the assistant clerk of scales have been reassigned to alternate NYRA racing officials,” the statement continued. Pochman was not fired after Sunday's incident and a NYRA official confirmed that he was still with the company.
