    • How are they bluging off the track down the road? They don't have any allocated race dates for their home track, I don't think you understand how this all works @Chief Stipe
    • As first reported by the Daily Racing Form, Grade I-placed Five Bars (Maxfield) suffered fatal injuries during training Saturday morning at Belmont Park. The incident occurred Nov. 29 after a four-furlong breeze when she fell while galloping out. According to the report provided by the New York State Gaming Commission for the Equine Deaths and Breakdowns database, the filly went down near the seven-eighths pole. “Horse breezed 1/2 mile at the [training track] when [she] suffered a 'Left Front Catastrophic injury'; falling near the 7/8 pole, injuring her neck.” The report continued by stating that exercise rider Daphne Valentina was attended to by NYRA EMTs and was transported to the hospital. The daughter of Maxfield was being pointed toward the GII Demoiselle Stakes by trainer Shug McGaughey. She broke her maiden at Saratoga to help extend her conditioner's winning streak at the historic venue, and left a strong impression on her connections with the effort while also claiming her 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' rosette. Five Bars was last seen rallying from last to claim third in the GI Frizette Stakes during the Belmont Big A meeting in October.

    • That has been the case for the last two decades.  And has been discussed ad infinitum on several forums. In the 90's - and earlier - most clubs did pay their way from racing/ betting revenue.  That has gone west in a big way, the smaller clubs lose less, that's all.  The fact that small clubs are then held up as unnecessary and a drain on the industry is astounding, and shows how out of touch the administration is.

    • Nicky Henderson has been awarded the Willie Stephenson Memorial Trophy, which commemorates the person or person whom the Goffs UK Board feel have made the biggest contribution to the success of the company during that year. The award was presented at Newbury this past Saturday. Training out of Seven Barrows Stables, the multiple champion trainer has had many talented horses pass through his care, not least Goffs UK alumni Constitution Hill (Blue Bresil) and Jonbon (Walk In The Park), who have won 18 Grade 1 races between them. Said Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby, “Nicky has been a huge supporter and friend of DBS and Goffs for many years and we are eternally grateful for all he has done to support our sales at Doncaster. Nicky was first awarded the Willie Stephenson Memorial Trophy in 2013 following Spring Sale graduate Bob's Worth winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup and we all felt it was fitting he received it again following the exploits of two amazing horses: Constitution Hill and Jonbon. “Jonbon has been a very special horse for all involved. Realising a record price for a pointer when bought by Nicky and J.P. McManus from us, he has been a household name in NH racing and last year saw him claim his 10th Grade 1 victory, a huge milestone. Constitution Hill has also been a pin up horse for NH racing, and our Spring Sale, with eight Grade 1 victories since his explosion onto the scene in 2022. “These are just two horses who have done so much for the prowess of our Goffs UK National Hunt sales and in recognition, we are delighted to see Nicky's name return to the list of very worthy and diverse recipients of this award. We hope to see both horses and many other graduates of our sales add more success to their amazing records in the coming months and wish Nicky all the very best for the season.” The post Henderson Awarded The Willie Stephenson Memorial Trophy appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
