    • Angus Gold is the man in the hotseat for the latest edition of TDN Conversations as he joins Emma Berry in Newmarket to chat about some of his most memorable times in the business and a busy year ahead. From Nashwan to Nayef, Battaash to Baaeed, Gold has had the inside track on some of the great names of the turf during his time as racing manager for Shadwell and this year he embarks on his 40th year in that role “I was very wet behind the ears,” he says of his early years working for the late Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum. “There were some incredible people. For me to be able to work with and learn off Dick Hern – as unbelievable a trainer as I ever came across – and Tom Jones, Barry Hills, John Dunlop, Michael Jarvis and on later to Michael Stoute and now John Gosden and William Haggas, it's been an incredible experience for me because every trainer has different methods. “It may only be little things that are different, but you never stop learning. And for me to go and have mornings with them on the gallops and hear why they're doing something, and to share little tidbits with them, it's been a huge privilege for me to have worked with them. “And obviously, there's been some really good horses – Nashwan, Unfuwain, Dayjur, Salsabil – we were very lucky in those early days. “If I could start every day on the gallops – 5.30 on a summer morning, there's nothing like that.” Please click below to listen to the full podcast, which is kindly sponsored by Saracen Horse Feeds.     https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Angus-Gold-Conversations_v1.mp3       The post Angus Gold Joins TDN Conversations with Emma Berry appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Mick boots races the horse Newmarket.  ( the leading Partner in Swayzee) Bootsie was already racing it in NZ with Nathan last year and got him to campaign her in Brisbane last Winter for some big races. 4 starts where she won 3 and was 3rd in the Group 1 Oaks , after a poor drive by Nathan. This year she was always going to come back to Australia in the Summer,  to tackle the Queen of the Pacific at Melton and the Chariots of Fire Group 1's . She won them both and over $300,000 this year in oz with 6 starts for 6 wins. before running 5th tonight.  Pretty sure Mick Boots has other horses with Nathan as well. He is using over 30 trainers all around Oz and NZ at the present moment. he's a great supporter of mid level trainers as well as top-line ones.  
    • If you were Matt Ballesty, would you? There is a good reason why he or any of his leadership team will not go anywhere near these social media sites.  For a start, why would any of them engage in dialogue with anonymous posters.  You would have to have rocks in your head to do that
