Why would they be breeding greyhounds now if you wont be able to race them? Reality is that the stupid decision to ban greyhound racing providing it doesn't get overturned, means that greyhounds will become extinct in NZ within 5 years! Highly doubt people will breed greyhounds as pets, even if they do make good oets apparently. Banning The crazy Greens and the dangerous TPM would be a far better idea coming from Winnie and co. -

The draw for the 19 protagonists in Saturday's G1 Betfred Derby took place on Wednesday morning, with Godolphin's G1 2,000 Guineas hero Ruling Court set to exit a favourable stall in seven. Ryan Moore's choice of the Ballydoyle trio is yet to be declared and the G3 Derby Trial and G3 Ballysax Stakes winner Delacroix is drawn 14 in a special renewal carrying the added title of “In Honour Of His Highness Aga Khan IV”, with fellow TDN Rising Star The Lion In Winter drawn on the wing in 19. The G3 Chester Vase winner Lambourn has the “lucky” stall 10, which has housed 11 winners. Ralph Beckett's Dante winner Pride Of Arras and G3 Autumn Stakes runner-up Stanhope Gardens have drawn 16 and two respectively, both of which have never housed a Derby winner. Others of note include Wathnan Racing's Dante runner-up Damysus, who is drawn 15, the unbeaten Aga Khan Studs representative Midak who will exit from stall four and the Westerberg colour-bearer Tennessee Stud in 12. Nine fillies will take part in Friday's Oaks, with Godolphin's 1,000 Guineas winner Desert Flower in stall one. Ryan Moore is expected to ride the Listed Cheshire Oaks scorer Minnie Hauk, who is drawn next door in two while the other Ballydoyle trial winners Giselle and Whirl are in three and nine respectively. Riding arrangements for Coolmore are expected slightly later today.

By Adam Hamilton New Zealand’s hopes of winning next month’s Inter Dominion trotting series in Brisbane have soared with two star Aussies set to miss the series. Boom four-year-old mare Keayang Zahara, who is well known to Kiwis, and the gifted Susan Is Her Name both won’t be at Albion Park. Susan Is Her Name, who ended Keayang Zahara’s 15-race winning streak at Menangle last month, has been sidelined with a leg injury while Keayang Zahara’s connections haven’t made a final call, co-trainer Paddy Lee today said he “presumed she wouldn’t be going.” Keayang Zahara blazed through an unbeaten streak of 14 wins last season, including seven at Group 1 level. The four-year-old returned from a break with a narrow Melton win and then suffered her first defeat when she led, over-raced and was rundown late by Susan Is Her Name in the Group 1 Macarthur Mile at Menangle on May 10. Keayang Zahara hasn’t been herself since the race. “It took a lot out of her and that really surprised us because she’s been to Sydney last year and handled it well and she absolutely thrived during her time in NZ late last year,” Lee said. “Maybe it was the hard run and the time they went, we don’t really know. “But she lost a lot of condition and muscle tone and she has only done light work since. “I’d say the family (Lee and Craven clan who own the mare) will make a final decision by the end of the week, but I can’t see her going. “She needed more time out than we thought after the (Sydney) trip. She’s starting to look better now, but still isn’t right back to herself. “Put it this way, she’s not looking anything like the mare we took to NZ late last year.” Star Kiwis Bet N Win and Oscar Bonavena, along with Aussie-based TAB Trot winner Arcee Phoenix, are now the biggest guns of the trotting series, which starts on July 5 and has a $500,000 final on July 19.
