    New Handicapper

    I hear there is a new handicapper coming to NZTR apparently worked in Dubai and Victoria Not 100% on this tho Hope he can sort the 65 grades out. I would like 60 rating races with no horse having won more than two races being able to contest this band and in the 65 rating horses with no more than 3 or 4 wins being able to drop back. It is usually hard to get a start with rating 60 and lower. Just my tupence worth

    Neil Jennings, Australian who has been the handicapper for the Emirates Racing Association for the past few years. He will do a superb job, I have no doubt!

  3. Overnight the most comprehensive agreement was signed in China. This was an agreement with the HKJC to create an international standard race program to be launched in 2025 in China. This includes the creation of an iconic international standard racetrack with all the facilities needed to create that environment. The agreement is more far reaching than the race meeting - it also includes the establishment of a complete industry model, all the way down to creating a fodder and grass program using biological remedies. I've been watching the Chinese influence in the race ownership over the years. Extensive ownership entities have been registered, including partnerships with the largest equine owners over the planet. The most prominent of these being the China Horse Club. This has given those owners access to the machinations of the leading stables, in particular their management processes. A number of Chinese personnel are now involved in different levels of the sport over the globe. The World Tote is also part of this gradual quest for involvement in the sport. Based in Hong Kong, the World Tote has signed agreements with a number of tote operators throughout the World, including the UK Tote. This saw betting revenue on the Royal Ascot Races increase from 3m odd quid to 19m quid. The Chinese were not legally allowed to bet on these races until this agreement was reached. An interesting sign of the times...

  4. I may have missed it but the gavelhouse fire sale was Rider Horse not China Horse Club . China Horse Club has millions of bucks worth of high quality bloodstock across the globe .

    Thanks TM , you give me a chance to reiterate a point i made here before- why do the brains trust not run more F and M races. By not doing so you force owners to sell, prematurely retire or send their mares offshore Surely studs should come to the party on this issue as that's what successful TB studs do and it works for them globally

    Spellbound was certainly one of our top 2 yr old fillies , second in the Jewels to Sweet on Me , Amazing Dream was third then Amazing Dream became the superstar filly and has since been mostly dominant from a few other very handy mares incl Need You Now. IMO there is not so many opportunities for 4 yr old mares in NZ ,so I surprised she never jumped across earlier. Australia certainly has more opportunities to race and earn in like v like races. Spellbound has now earned $36k in 3 starts in Aussie , in top times against modest opposition.Well placed indeed. Spellbound stood out in NZ cos big group of owners ,many of whom dressed in the witches hats and enthusiastically supported her bringing colour and excitement to race day. Good for Harness and ownership.

    It's a bit easier over there generally at the start for our exported horses. A 1 win horses here can often string a few together if we'll placed. Nite Lights, 4 wins from first 5 starts over thwre classic case.

    WHISKEY NEAT

    Old Whiskey Neat keeps hitting the post , beaten a neck last night at Sha Tin . 13 starts this season , 6 seconds , 5 times within a length of winner . Seems to be in a battle with handicapper , keeps getting almost low enough to get a win then hits post and goes up again and so on .

    WHISKEY NEAT

    Whiskey Neat second again within a length of winner last night , four times I think this season he has come up short by less than length . 21 and 0 in HK a win must come soon but these seconds bump him up for next few runs , he drops then goes up then drops and on it goes . Tangmere ex Karaka Sale topper got another win , got to the 60 mark that he wins off a bit . No HV winners for Per Incanto last night , maybe none of his went round , he gets so many winners around the Valley .
