            Half Is Enough Takes a Chance on the Turf in Galway

            A good filly

            By stodge · Posted 4 hours ago

            All most amusing but back to more important matters and another nice filly for the future at Deauville: Prix des Marettes:  This was a 1500m race for unraced juveniles.  KELINA is by Frankel out of an Oasis Dream mare - she's a half to a Listed filly called ANSILIA who has run at up to 2000m. As they say, she could be anything.

            News from the North(ern) Hemisphere

            By stodge · Posted 4 hours ago

            Plenty with which to catch up from my holiday. Starting with the final day at Goodwood and the Group 2 Lillie Langtry over 2800m for the staying fillies and mares saw SEA LA  ROSA come home in front at the end of a real stamina test. URBAN ARTIST had led early but kicked on from 1000m down and was a good ten lengths up with 800m to go. SEA LA ROSA was closer than EMILY DICKENSON on whom frankly Ryan Moore had a bit of a mare. He got far too far out of his ground and when the pace collapsed it was all too late. SEA LA ROSA does nothing quickly but a stamina slog is right up her street and I'd love to see her in the Cup races next season if they don't send her to the paddocks. URBAN ARTIST stuck on really bravely to hold second with EMILY DICKENSON a neck down in third and YESYESYES, for whom this was the seasonal bow, a very creditable fourth for all I'd be worried how hard a race she had. The final time was 3 minutes 5 seconds so a notch below standard but the ground was quickening all the time. The end then to a very successful Goodwood Festival which slightly bucked the trend of other meetings in terms of crowd numbers but Goodwood is as much social gathering as it is a race meeting. The three championship races were all won by favourites - KYPRIOS, BAAEED and NASHWA and all will, you'd think, go on to bigger and better things in the autumn starting with BAAEED at York in a couple of weeks. As Goodwood ended, Deauville started - the track stages a number of meetings, both midweek and at the weekend, through August. The opening day featured the Rothschild over 1600m for the fillies and mares and Jean Prat winner TENEBRISM faced a formidable challenge in Sun Chariot and Duke of Cambridge winner SAFFRON BEACH. Prix Rothschild:  A really likeable performance by the winner who made nearly every yard and it's fair to say on a straight 1600m she's very hard to beat among her own gender. She's in the Matron at Leopardstown but that will involve a bend, another tilt at the Sun Chariot looks possible before a final run against the boys in the Queen Elizabeth II at Ascot and with no BAAEED ad questions over the 3-y-o form 14/1 looks a knocking each way bet. TENEBRISM came up short again at the mile and I wonder if the Matron over the easier round 1600m at Leopardstown might be the better option. The local outsider GOLDISTYLE ran on late for third but once again the locals were put to the sword by he visitors. From Deauville to The Curragh on Saturday and the Phoenix over 1200m, the first Group 1 for the juveniles in England and Ireland. The Coventry Stakes first and second, BRADSELL and PERSIAN FORCE, came up against the Windsor Castle winner LITTLE BIG BEAR and we know how strong the Windsor Castle form seems this year. The late scratching of BLACKBEARD took a little of the lustre from the race. Keeneland Phoenix Stakes:  A real superstar in the making it would seem and a commanding impressive performance by this son of No Nay Never out of a Bering mare. He thrashed PERSIAN FORCE (no mug) by seven lengths with Railway winner SHARTASH in third. BRADSELL lost his race with a poor start and was never travelling but it's hard to see what difference it would have made. There's a lot of stamina on the dam's side (she ran over 2400m) and plenty of the relatives have run up to 3200m yet the immediate talk was of a tilt at the Nunthorpe over 1000m against the older horses - Karl Burke has decided not to send Queen Mary winner DRAMATISED down that route (she goes for the Lowther) and I'd be surprised if Aidan decided to run.   He's in everything as you might expect and I suspect it'll be up to 1400m for the National next time. He dominates the juvenile colts and has demolished the best of the British so far. PERSIAN FORCE did nothing wrong - he just came up against a really good one - and I think races like the Mill Reef and the Middle Park could well be on his agenda. As for BRADSELL, back to the drawing board but he's far from written off. Oddly enough, last year's winner of the race, GO BEARS GO, landed a Group 3 on the Saturday card - connections will surely think the 2022 winner will be flying a lot higher. Sunday saw the Maurice de Gheest over 1300m at Deauville. It featured a number of those who had performed well in both the Platinum Jubilee and the July Cup but this was 100m further and the ground was slower - called Good to Soft by the French. Could NAVAL CROWN follow up or would ARTORIUS finally get that European Group 1 ? Prix Maurice de Gheest:  A messy and unsatisfactory renewal of the race which favoured those close to the pace and did nothing for those having to come from behind. Despite pulling hard, HIGHFIELD PRINCESS had enough to prevail in the dash to the line.  HIGHFIELD PRINCESS was sixth in the Platinum Jubilee and while you could argue both the slower ground the longer trip would help, this was a serious race and her odds of 16.3/1 reflected that.  She's in 1000m races but I think 1200-1400 is her trip and of course she has done her value as a broodmare no harm at all. MINZAAL, GARRUS and ROHAAN filled the minor places at big prices - all three are better known as 1400m horses and finished well off a pace which started well but quickened through the second half of the race and through the line so they actually recorded 1 minute 15.3 seconds (a fraction below standard). NAVAL CROWN tried to go with the pace but a combination of the slower ground and extra yardage found him out and he came home in fifth beaten a couple of lengths. ARTORIUS was sixth, PERFCT POWER seventh and ACCAKABA eighth. It's fair to say this wasn't a race to be coming from far off the pace as they were quickening in front. Strangely, ARTORIUS was pulling like a train early while PERFECT POWER was the first off bridle at halfway but they finished almost upsides. This Sunday's feature in France is the Jacques le Marois over the straight 1600m. 17 have been entered so far with Godolphin declaring both CORROEBUS and NATIVE TRAIL along with MODERN NEWS so we'll see which way Charlie Appleby plays his cards later in the week.

            List of Amateur Riders - Who are NZ's best ?

            By poundforpound · Posted 13 hours ago

            John Oatham must be the best rider in NZ by a long way surely … otherwise how is it that he’s forever telling the stars like J Mac, Billy Pinn, and whomever else he decides to harass, what they’re doing wrong ??

            Awapuni Synthetic almost ready.

            By tripple alliance · Posted 13 hours ago

            Alot can change in 20 days , for better or worse but they could transfer to Woodville , I doubt they would risk running races on the synthetic until it's been well and truly tested with trials and jump outs which makes me wonder , does the delay with the Levin Clubs initial members meeting have anything to do with the trials debut on the synthetic track , the meeting is now 3 days after the synthetic trials have been held , if the trials are successful it's quite a strong demonstration of the future and what Levin will be up against when it comes to jump outs, something that those wanting to end the clubs association with the Levin track  will no doubt high light .

            Thanks Leggy...yes initially I just wanted an amateur riders list that is easily accessible without going through a rabbit warren to find it! Thanks Scooby what you have suggested is even better.

            Maybe. I thought he was asking for the full list of amateurs and who we rated the best. You can find the lifetime record for any amateur on the site the same as for any other jockey.

            Its not what he asked he asked for the list of who was the best surely there must be a record of their winners to rides somewhere.

            Will Levin close ?

            By Baz (NZ) · Posted 20 hours ago

            I'm guessing the proposed meeting for members to vote on Sunday August 21 will need to be postponed again due to the Waverley race meeting in the CD now falling on this day? As I understand Levin RC members are required to personally be at the meeting to cast an actual vote? Surely they can vote by other methods? Can't be right?... with many members being owners/trainers now likely to be racing on this day?
