Oh Emm Gee!!! How good is Dettori? At 48 and on Ladies Day... he was dishing out kisses and star jumping all day almost! 4 winners in a row...Piggot like...and he'd love a statue as well Frankie Dettori almost brought Britain’s betting industry to its knees for a second time on Thursday , 23 years after his Magnificent Seven winners at Ascot cost the bookies tens of millions of pounds. There is a statue of Dettori near the entrance to Ascot’s Royal enclosure to mark his astonishing day in 1996, and he joked that the course “might need to get another statue” after winning the first four races on Ladies’ Day with a flawless series of rides. Lester Piggott, in 1965, was the last jockey to ride four winners on the same afternoon at the Royal meeting. Royal Ascot: Dettori and Stradivarius win Gold Cup again – as it happened Read more A’Ali (5-1), Sangarius (13-2) and Star Catcher (4-1) all won for Dettori before Stradivarius, at even money, completed the four-timer in the Gold Cup, the biggest race of the week. “He is a phenomenon,” John Gosden, the trainer of Stradivarius, said. “Frankie is like a player who gets to the final of Wimbledon and then raises it to another level. “For a kid of 48 he is remarkable. And when he rides here he goes to another level. “He’s been in the gym, working out, and then he comes and rides out for me and he’s so relaxed. The horses are here to do a job, but he does it so beautifully with them and that makes a difference.” Dettori was short of racing room in the closing stages of the Gold Cup but waited for a gap to appear and seized his chance when it did. “I don’t normally hear the crowd because I’m so focused [on the race] but the roar from the crowd was incredible,” Dettori said. “This horse has captured people’s imaginations and we’ll bring him back next year.” Dettori’s winning streak came to an end when he could finish only second in the fifth race after leading with a furlong to run. “Twenty years ago I would have won that,” Dettori said. “It was 16-1 this morning and it was favourite [at the start], he gave me a great spin but it wasn’t to be. Listen, I’ve had a good day so I’m not going to cry.” Despite his failure to win either of the last two races on the card, bookmakers said it had been one of their worst days at the Royal meeting. “We are hugely relieved to have avoided the worst-case scenario of a Magnificent Six,” said Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes. “But we are by no means celebrating. A four-timer for the most popular jockey at the biggest meeting of the Flat season is a shocking result and can only be described as a bloodbath.”

Winnie was all over Hoskings like a rash... ..it was beautiful to listen to.... ...he used Ireland as an example again...he loves poitin...and he's still got the hangover from his trip there... ...and apparently we're on the way to recovery because Lindsey's just bought some raging Lion or something... ...Anyway you can listen for yourselves here...just click on today 7.30 https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-demand/week-on-demand/#ath

What do we need to make Racing more palatable to Generation Z...and betting on their Racing heroes...not their Sporting ones? Younger punters behind big lift in sports betting, Roy Morgan reports Parramatta’s Josh Hoffman and Blake Ferguson celebrate after scoring a try during the NRL’s round 14. Picture: AAP SARAH-JANE TASKER REPORTER 2:25PM JUNE 20, 2019 NO COMMENTS Sports betting in Australia is growing, with young punters turning to their favourite sporting codes to gamble, new research shows. Research from Roy Morgan, which analysed betting patterns over the last year, showed a decline in Australians placing bets on racing events, while over the same period, more Australians were betting on sport. Sports betting has grown by more than 10 per cent from a year ago and with popular sports including the AFL and NRL as well as several World Cups being held this year there are plenty of high profile sporting contests for gambling Australians to try their luck on. READ NEXT DISABILITY SCHEME NDIS fraud ‘totalled $370k’ TESSA AKERMAN The latest Roy Morgan “Gambling Currency” report showed that punters aged 18 to 24 were more likely to bet on sport than on racing. But they made up the only age group of punters for which sports betting was more popular. The research showed that 1.8 million Australians aged 18 and over placed bets over a typical three month period. Of those, 1.5 million bet on racing events, while 620,000 placed a sports bet. The survey results come after Collingwood’s Jaidyn Stephenson was this week given a $20,000 fine and a 22-match ban (which includes a 12 week suspension) after admitting to placing bets on AFL games he was playing in. On two occasions the 20-year-old gave money to a friend to place bets for him. On the other occasion, he used a friend’s betting account. The total of all three bets came to $36 — all were unsuccessful. Michele Levine, chief executive of Roy Morgan, said although long-term trends showed a decline in the number of Australians having a bet, there were growth areas for betting “Although betting on racing is more widespread, sports betting is where the growth is in 2019,” she said. Betting on racing was most appealing for older Australians. More than 10 per cent of Australians aged 50-64 years old and 9.3 per cent of 65-79 year olds bet on racing compared to only 3.1 per cent of 18-24 year olds. The likelihood of betting on sport increased to 3.8 per cent for 25-34 year olds and 4.9 per cent for 35-49 year olds before dropping off substantially for Australians aged over 50. “Although there is significant crossover between Australians who bet on racing events and those betting on sports, there’s no doubt betting on racing on the whole skews to an older audience than sports betting,” Ms Levine said. “The youngest age group is the only age group more likely to bet on sport than racing events.” The Australian

If double question marks are used it is to emphasise something in return, usually from the shock of the previous thing said.

It's a minefield alright... Great race tonight...Cross Counter or Stradivarious? And Stoute gets his 80th! Legend!

Wake up... Generation Zee are the future...and caring for Animals is one of their things... Nothing turns them off more than watching Parkes wackaroo 33 times in a race...

Really looking forward to riding at @PukekohePark tomorrow, don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to ride on a slow9. Cant wait for the burn Quote Tweet Aidan Rodley @Agent200 · 19h She's back! @AlyshaCollett has her first ride in NZ for more than a year and since her fall in Singapore last year when she rides at Pukekohe tomorrow. A pleasure to work with on @TAB_Racing #Trackside this year. Let's hope she's on the other side of the microphone post-race!

To be fear...a little bandy! But could she do moore...than Hayley?

So get this....and Parkes is the highlight Jock for knowing the whip rules backwards...which makes him go forwards...very fast... ...whips winner Victor Vegas fully 33 times...could have been 34/35 even....from the 600M wins by a nose...and NEVER BROKE THE RULE ...that's how lax our International obligations to the Whip rule stand... ...we stand alone in first world jurisdictions.... NZTR are totally out of touch on many things...and this is THE major one

Bazzy..if ATA is moi...then I LURVE making LURVE to plastic puncesses... ..you may have noted...being the scholar you is..that ATA and moi were diametrically opposed on the Folau thingy.... ...otherwise I'm pretty sure he's my long lost twin... ...but that's what you get here...people can agree...then disagree... ...and then we all get some sleep while respecting those views... ...you paranoid nickenpoop... ...even your self proclaimed Professor of Punting buddy...muddygrass...thinks your dumbum theory is banging on.. ...but life partners tend to agree with each other very often...to keep the peace at home... ...he's not your lover now per chance?

Too true...and took a long time to wind up....as you say 3yo Classics in headlights! By No Nay Never..leading Euro 2yo sire....a son of Scat Daddy...sire of triple crown winner Justify! Incidently Ellis purchased a No Nay Never ex young Fastnet Rock mare for 130K Hell be putting an extra wrap of cotton wool around as we speak!

You must be relly relly loving it over there Bazz...with like minded "so f in close" butt so far bets?? Read this and larf folks...never read anything quite as funny..but completely barmy at the same time... "Scaglioni went a huge race just beaten for third and most of those over there wouldn't have entertained the idea. Up from a B65 in to a B82, it frightened off most. Two previous starts over ground unplaced, all form at 1600m or less. Except... I knew he would go a bold race. Forget track conditions, weight, jockey, draw, advertised class etc. Hence my excitement to post him a few minutes before the race as a great place value bet. Just missed but gave a great sight to finish 1 length from the winner." Just missed eh Bazz...sounds like your twin bro

Whoever decided on facing the stand to the Souff...was having a larf...Shirley? But it looks as if the olde world doyen of Thoroughbred media...Mary Burgess ...NZTR's 'new' 'Corporate Communications and Media Advisor'...phew..is all over this... ...front footing the Ellis critique by issuing the communique Has anyone seen the lonnnnnng list of employees there lately? simply eye watering

It's really interesting Al's take on "Mardi and Bazz" "didn't come her to be personally abused" ...when they were the chief abusers....including encouraging suicide... ...and now they're together bless them

Poor FRANKIE...one 3rd placing...this was about as far as he got doing a star jump into the Queen's lap

Perhaps not in the true sense...but he probably does that as well... as actually whisper "Horses really listen to people's voices, they really respond to people talking to them kindly, and, the other way, if you're aggressive with them, they squirm up and don't like that," O'Brien tells me as we chat on the Ballydoyle gallops. "If you talk to them and they're used to being spoken to, they pick up on words and really respond. "Obviously, horses can't talk back to you in sound, but actions will speak greater than words. We get a lot of feedback from reactions." Asked about being a horse whisperer, he switches quickly to his praise-everyone-but-yourself mode with which, having followed him for two decades, I am very familiar. He said: "We have some unbelievably gifted, special people here, and all the people around us have that gift - we feel very privileged to have those people with us." I'm not sure I've ever heard him take any credit himself for anything that's happened. That's always deflected onto "the lads" - Coolmore partners John Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith - for their immaculate planning of both races and the matings of their bloodstock; and on to the teamwork of the people at Ballydoyle and at Coolmore Stud. And on to the horses themselves, of course. O'Brien insists he and his family just count themselves fortunate to be part of a successful story. But former champion rider Kieren Fallon, who was number one jockey at Ballydoyle for three seasons from 2005, says O'Brien is being too modest. Fallon, whose autobiography included a chapter about O'Brien titled 'The God of Horses', told me his former boss could make a troublesome horse as quiet as a mouse. He said: "Scorpion was a very difficult horse, very boisterous, and I remember saying to Aidan at The Curragh [racecourse] one-day, because the guy leading him up was all over the place, 'could you take him?' "He just put his hand on Scorpion and led him out, and he walked out like a mouse, and as soon as he let him go, he just took off with me. "Horses are very sensitive animals and when he's around them, they respect him… they're like lambs." And O'Brien likes to experiment with gear..to get the ultimate response... In last nights Coventry...ARIZONA simply had a straight bridle on...and what a grouse horse he is...

This is what it's all about...a rich old codger being interviewed by an English Rose...who's dissecting his inner thoughts
