    • Tauherenikau have had the date for at least the last 25 years haven't they?
    • The Sam Houston Racing Club, a new collaboration between Sam Houston Race Park and MyRacehorse, was launched Monday, the track announced via press release. Compared to a traditional racing club, the Sam Houston Racing Club gives members the opportunity to become racehorse owners rather than simply joining a fan club. This includes real equity, earnings participation, and direct access to their horse's journey. Through the MyRacehorse app, club owners receive real-time updates delivered directly to their phones, including training progress, race entries, and insights from the trainer. Members can RSVP for owner-only events, follow their horse's development from the barn to race day, and, if the horse is successful on the track, receive earnings directly into their MyRacehorse digital wallet. The Sam Houston Racing Club will kick off with sophomore colt Onthethirstyside (Stay Thirsty) trained by Mindy Willis. “This partnership is about meeting today's fans where they are and inviting them further inside the sport,” said Bryan Pettigrew, general manager of Sam Houston Race Park. “The Sam Houston Racing Club gives people a legitimate stake in the action while reinforcing our commitment to innovation, hospitality, and top-tier racing experiences here in Texas.” “Racing clubs aren't new, but true ownership at this scale is,” said Michael Behrens, CEO of MyRacehorse. “MyRacehorse was built to solve the biggest challenges facing ownership groups: access, communication, education, and transparency. This partnership with Sam Houston Race Park allows us to bring real ownership to more people while delivering a modern, intuitive experience that keeps owners engaged every step of the way.” To view the offering and become an owner, and to learn more about the Sam Houston Racing Club horse and trainer, visit the website here.

    • Yes and I've hidden a fair number of such posts on BOAY.   But not all are losing punter.  There are some individuals that are active participants in the industry that constantly make degrading and abusive comments while spreading a false narrative that has no relationship to fact.
    • In your opinion.  In my opinion it is a step towards protecting participants from wild and abusive online remarks by people who have a direct connection to the industry.  NZTR have made many attempts to listen, engage and respond to stakeholders but are faced with irrational and abusive behaviour.  BECAUSE many in the industry don't want to face up to the hard facts. It doesn't undermine their efforts it protects ALL.  I've had administration employees and people working at the coalface contact me directly in tears about the actions of certain individuals on the two forums I've managed.  I've readily hid those comments from public view when asked.  Hopefully these new rules put a line in the sand that clearly states if you cross this line there are consequences.   NZTR didn't have to test that precedent.  The case should never have been taken.  It turned into a farce about 90 horses and an individual "feeling insulted".  @muzenza365 didn't cross the line and subsequently NO precedent was set in that respect.  The precendent was that he was entitled to express an opinion.  The original opinion he expressed was regarding the state of the Awapuni track and the actions of the Stipes with regard to it.  The rest was a side show driven largely by Leo Molloy. The latter did cross the line hence his losing the defamation case taken against him.  That was a costly exercise for all involved and hopefully these new rules give those that can't afford to take legal action some protection. As for your contribution to Morty's case regarding the Bill of Rights Act - that was purely an academic sideshow.  No precedent was set in that regard.  If someone wants to test the new rule if enforced then good luck to them.  I'm sure you'll pull all your old notes out.
    • Elle Sueno (Street Cry {Ire}), already the dam of GSW/GISP Dream Lith (Medaglia d'Oro), sold to Tropical Racing for $800,000. Consigned by Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa, the mare was offered in foal to leading sire Curlin. Her 2-year-old of this year, an Into Mischief filly named Mardigras Mischief, is already part of the Tropical Racing stable as they picked her up for $500,000 at the 2025 Fasig-Tipton November Sale.
