I would have thought that investing in tracks would be more important than investing in more management. Probably cheaper too. All we seem to get is a more flowery report on why our tracks are stuffed. -
Did the same thing in the Grand Annual. Could have been a real disaster.

I met Carl numerous times. A master with the trotters and a thoroughly good and decent man. Everyone I crossed paths with respected Carl. His best trotter of course was Fraggle Rock. but a few of his others were Milburn Carolyn, Acapulco, Perilly, Milburn Jubilee, Oslo, Dixie Tryax , Little Rock, Outer Reach , Purple Passion, Butler Billy, Milburn Segil, Westland Sun, Savona, Pink Diamond, Another Love and a host of others. -

Multiple bottles of animal venom–most likely from snakes, spiders, and scorpions–have been intercepted by United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents in Cincinnati since the beginning of the year, according to a report by WKRC in Cincinnati. Agents told WKRC some of the supply, which originated in Mexico, was headed to racetracks. Cincinnati is approximately 80 miles north of Lexington and 100 miles northeast of Louisville, while Turfway Park is about 10 miles outside of Cincinnati over the Kentucky border. WKRC specifically noted the “timing is no coincidence with the Kentucky Derby coming up on Saturday,” although there is no evidence to support that speculation. “Kentucky is known as the horse capital of the world,” said Cincinnati Port Director Alrick Brooks to WKRC. “And the equine industry is a prominent part of the U.S. agricultural economy. CBP is committed to protecting this industry and the animals within it by preventing illicit substances such as these–designed to mask pain or artificially enhance an animal's legitimate physical capabilities–from coming into the country.” In the last four months, CBP agents with the assistance of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have found eight separate packages with bottles given labels like “tiger blood” or with pictures of scorpions and spiders. Among the contents of the bottles were injectable cobra venom, spidermorph, scorpioadrenalin, TB-1000, caffeine, anabolic steroids, Ritalin, ketamine, and unknown vitamin compounds. The seized shipments were done at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The contents violated several FDA regulations, including the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Performance enhancers in racing have been at the forefront of several federal investigations in recent years, leading to prison for prominent trainers Jason Servis and Jorge Navarro, as well as several other indictments.

By Mike Love While Auckland will host three Group 1s tonight, Addington also has a high quality race night that includes three Uncut Gems races, and a Sires’ Stakes heat. Race 6, the Garrards Sires’ Stakes Series (Heat 4) features a small but high class field, headlined by the two Mark and Nathan Purdon-trained runners, Chase A Dream ($2.60FF) and We Walk By Faith ($3.60FF). According to the Purdon Racing website We Walk By Faith’s “work has been good” and from a “handy barrier draw is a top 3 chance” while Chase A Dream “trialled good last week, is in a good place, and a top 2 chance.” Northern Derby winner Cold Chisel has also ventured south while Nathan Williamson’s brought Dreams Are Free north from his Branxholme base. A winner of four from nine, the Captaintreacherous colt was fourth in his last start in the Alabar Southern Supremacy Stakes Final at Invercargill last month. “He finished off well in the Supremacy and did as well as he could have done with the run he had,” says Williamson, “the plan will be to have him at his best next week (for the final) so he will benefit a lot from tonight’s run.” Williamson also trains and drives Miraculous in race four, the Matt Harrison Construction Mobile Pace (6.34pm). He’s a $2.30 favourite and meets a field that includes Carrera Rapido ($4.20FF), Watermelon Sugar ($6.50FF) and Time And Tide ($5.50). “He’s a nice horse. Whatever he does this trip away and over his next couple of starts will stand him in good stead for the future. He’s got plenty of ability. He’s raced with merit against some of the nicest in the land.” The Uncut Gems races start at Race 5 (6.59pm)with the NZB Standardbred Uncut Gems Trotters Classic with impressive last start winner Bet N Win a $1.80 favourite, ahead of Mighty Logan ($5.50) and Eurostyle ($6.50). Drawn well at two, Wish My Luck will be gunning for his fourth win in just five starts when lines up in the Betavet Uncut Gems Geldings and Entires Classic (7.50pm). He’s a $9 fourth favourite behind Who’s Delight ($2.80FF), Wag Star ($4FF) and Charlie Brown ($6FF). Diamond Racing labels Who’s Delight as their top-rater, saying he’s been “working well and will be tough to hold out if he brings his manners” while Charlie Brown had a good “southern campaign and the draw could work out well.” Telfer-trained stablemates Kahlua Flybye ($2.35FF) and Sweet Diamond ($2.90FF) dominate the market for the Rico Lodge Uncut Gems Mares Classic (8.40pm) after impressive last start wins, with southerner Advance Party third favourite at $5.50 for Williamson. “She will need things in her favour,” says Williamson, “she’s a good place chance in a good field. We will have to weigh it up and see what happens.” View the full article
