Connections considering large offers for Lazarus

A decision on the future plans and ownership of all-conquering champion pacer Lazarus is expected by the end of the coming week.
The dual New Zealand Cup winner, who has earned his connections over $3.8 Million in a storied career, is the subject of significant buyer interest.
Two large offers have been tabled for the son of Bettor’s Delight, both believed to have been from New Zealand stud farms.
His connections – owners Phil and Glenys Kennard, Trevor Casey and Kevin Riseley, as well as trainers Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen – met on Saturday to discuss the offers and potential future plans of their superstar.
“There are continuing negotiations, but no decision has been made as to his future,” said Casey when contacted.
“There are a few offers on the table but I stress no decision has been made.”
It could well be the ownership group opt to race Lazarus on for another season.
He needs roughly $1 Million to eclipse Blacks A Fake as the richest Australasian horse of all time, a remarkable achievement considering he is only rising six.
The horse himself has been spelling in the North Island for a month and is soon to undertake a pre-training regime.
“Laz has had a month off and a full vet check, which was all good,” said Casey.
“He is due to resume soon with some water walking and swimming, which he did last season.”
As well as a second New Zealand Cup, Lazarus also won the A$1.1 Million Inter Dominion Final in Perth and the A$500,000 Hunter Cup in Victoria.

El Dorado Dreaming storms home to claim huge Sires' upset
By James Buckley
7 April 2018 — 4:20pmThe owner didn't want her horse to run and the jockey didn't want the ride but none of that mattered to El Dorado Dreaming, who stormed home in the Inglis Sires' to hand Ben Smith his second group 1 win in a fortnight.
Smith convinced owner Yvette Pearce to contest the race, while original jockey Corey Brown pulled out of the ride on Tuesday, paving the way for Damian Lane to steer the $81 Newcastle filly from near last in the straight to a final-stride win.
Lane gave the filly nine cracks with the whip before the 100m, four more than permitted, and she ran over the top of race favourite Oohood and third-placed Outrageous.
Brown informed Smith on Tuesday afternoon that he wasn't going to partner El Dorado Dreaming in a bid to reduce his commitments given he had spent the week wasting away to make the 49kg weight to ride D'Argento in the Doncaster.
Brown never made it to the Doncaster – he was stood down following his ride on The Lord Mayor in the Australian Derby during which he broke his ribs after the horse bucked, and needed to be put on a drip.
“I thought I got beat and I was filthy with myself but we got there and obviously she has a bucket-load of talent," Lane said.
“I went back from the wide draw seeing most of the field –I think I was second-last – and as we turned for home, I thought this horse is travelling.
“I thought I may have waited a bit to long on one earlier in the day so I just went for home and I thought I had done the opposite and thought I got done, what a thrill.”
El Dorado Dreaming finished second in a Newcastle maiden just seven days ago and Pearce wasn't keen to have her back up in a group 1 but Smith had other ideas.
"I convinced Yvette, it might be a bit too much too soon but I think she'll run really well and you're only a two-year-old once," Smith said.
"Let's just have a throw at the stumps. The week went good, she had a nice easy week because it was a seven-day back-up.
"She really turned the corner from that run at Newcastle. There's some quality horses in the race but we thought we were a genuine chance."
Pearce bred the filly by Ilovethiscity out of a Zabeel mare to be a middle-distance runner as a three-year-old, and is now toying with the idea of aiming her at the VRC Oaks at Flemington in the spring.
"It was on my bucket list to spend my children's inheritance to buy a Zabeel mare because I'm a Kiwi," Pearce said. "This is all a bonus, I bred her to be a 1600-, 2000-metre horse as a three-year-old."

LOOK it is MY site, I own it and I make the rules - OK?! You ungrateful SODS! I'm never wrong - got that!
JUST JOKING! I STUFFED UP!
It's OUR site and I'm OFTEN wrong.
Points will be allocated on the basis of if any of your three picks get a place you will get 3 for first, 2 for second and 1 for third. 1 point for a late scratching. I've been getting it in the ear from my daughter because she likes the name Pumpkin Pie.

Sorry....It is a point for any order and then extra points for the correct order. If people have been confused then I might have to alter the rules to be fair to everyone. My apologies.
