    • A Savabeel-How Womantic filly sold for $190,000 by Vinery Stud on behalf of a client to agents Mark Player and Rob Roulston also had an “ineligible to race” embargo placed on her by Racing Australia before the Magic Millions. It is believed that the filly, who is by New Zealand’s champion sire, did not have the ownership registration lodged on time because an embargo had been placed on her by Waikato Stud due to an overdue service fee payment. The outstanding amount was subsequently paid by the filly’s breeder, but Racing Australia placed an embargo on her due to the apparent late FOD. The appeal process remains ongoing. The development came as Thoroughbred Breeders Australia, which has been at loggerheads with Racing Australia about breeders’ foal ownership declaration obligations, sent its members an extended reminder email on Wednesday about their responsibilities. Under Racing Australia’s regulations, breeders must now lodge both the mare return and the foal ownership declaration (FOD) within 30 days of a foal’s birth, with the two requirements consolidated into a single online process on the Australian Stud Book website. FODs submitted between 30 and 60 days after birth will attract a $360 late fee. Foals with FODs lodged more than 60 days after birth will be automatically placed under embargo, rendering them ineligible to race in Australia unless a formal appeal is upheld. Racing Australia’s policy states that appeals will be reviewed in 21 days but the aforementioned Spirit Of Boom filly’s case extended well beyond that time period. “Our update to members was intended to reassure affected breeders that support is available and that they are not navigating this alone,” TBA and Aushorse chief executive Andrew Hore-Lacy said. “We have consistently raised concerns that embargoes are a disproportionate penalty, particularly where there has been no intent to avoid compliance.  “In some cases, they are creating serious commercial and welfare consequences. We have urged Racing Australia to apply greater proportionality and common sense in the administration of these matters. “Our primary focus for now is on fact-finding and ensuring every impacted breeder has the opportunity to gather and present all relevant information and to have their matter determined in accordance with principles of procedural fairness.” It is understood that two horses catalogued for next month’s Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale also have a not-to-race embargo placed on them due to the late lodgement of FOD forms with the industry’s national regulator. @Comic Dog
    • That's the fundamental problem with a club like the WRC.  The members buy their membership for the entitlement and none of them can remember when they last painted a rumning rail.
    • I have been asking a few friends what they thing about the photos that clubs use to advertise...  distilling their collective thoughts,  refer to thread title! https://jointheaction.co.nz/taylor-property-plus-wellington-guineas-raceday?fbclid=IwY2xjawQmjA5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFXaVZaWWdqWkZKN21jUXFUc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjJL-2885djKStwAf10ei23m63m2OjgIhalTrx-3nUMM7jfKfwtFDkqteu3Q_aem_6v3i5sFmoBbsXpqdR5e5nA

    • Most of the bets are gimmick bets, the ones that multis include,  they do actually have the punters promise for some sports/options but not sure if they take the big 20000 or  50000 head to head bets in tennis, cricket rugby and the likes, Betfair would but only if your bet is matched, that was smart as all betfair took was a commission.
