Been wondering........things going well at the moment....... Good time to be involved with the prize money increases, new innovation races etc etc.... BUT..... How are we really travelling? Are current betting turnover figures enough to fund and sustain the industry if Entain pull pin? Are Entain making a profit from NZ racing? Or are they running at a loss while they try and turn the ship around? Posted the above on another thread a couple of months ago - Would love to know if we are on the right trajectory as far as money in VS money out?

Fully agree..... Early days yet

Bring back Tony Lee

Always liked his riding and feel confident backing his horses if I have a bet....... Seems like a top bloke as well...... Always remember a few years ago when he gave a shout out to the dying man who was trackside in his hospital bed. Guessing he had to make a split second decision with Jimmystar..... Didn't work out, but he apoligised to connections. If he'd won we'd all be saying it was the ride of century

Well done Chris...... Glad that Turf Fire clicked with Ribchester Catch up via email soon

Hopefully she makes it back to raceday riding in due course, very talented rider

You might be getting mixed up with another great Al Akbar mare - Verna

Yes, received the $20 bonus but couldn't convert it to cash via a successful bet. I get the feeling that they might be finally listening to the customers, seem to be more valued since Entain took over

Once one of the great winter handicaps - this years edition headed by a 10yo mare on a 83 Rating - the rest Rating 74 and below. To save former winning connections from turning in their graves, isn't it about time this race name was retired? I'm sure the $40k could be better spent in the spring on a MAAT/special conditions race? Ideas anyone?

Does he ever...... Bad fitting suit makes him look 10 years older

Definitely agree - in my relatively short time (compared to some) in the breeding game I can clearly remember Montjeu being bagged early on with his slow start and more recently Ocean Park. Ocean Park turned it around in what seemed like overnight....... 2 group 1 winner's in quick succession turned the perception around quick smart

The Chosen one wasn't mentioned in the press release from Highview yesterday, announcing their 2023 stallion fees........ Anyone know what's happening with him this season coming?

I remember reading a study by Renee Geelan (spelling) about the stats of unplaced mares and the racetrack results of their progeny.... This was 10 to 15 years ago

And only talking 20 to 25 years ago

Fond memories of Foxton races early June each year when they always had the Queens birthday Monday meeting with the Castletown Stakes and Foxton cup run on this day. 10 race card with full field's, full car park and a great crowd and atmosphere

Randwick Race 5 - #9 Waihaha Falls Race 8 - #2 Lost and Running Race 10 - #9 Democracy Manifest Thanks for the competition

I might be able to afford the tail....... Ha ha

Yes, he seemed to fall off the radar almost overnight, surprising, as he was trucking along OK. Just looked at his stats...... 58% winners to runners, 21 stakes winners and 14 stakes place getters.

Yes, saw the announcement as well....... Thought he may have been slightly cheaper, but with Satono Aladdin on fire and limited outside noms I guess they can name their price.

Thanks for your replies - have been looking online each Inglis broodmare auction, so mainly curious, but good to know

Anyone know roughly how much it costs? Believe there is paperwork costs etc as well

Does anyone have foal crop numbers from the last few years, including the foal crop on the ground now?

I'm sure he's been exported to Australia to stand at stud there from this coming season......

Profondo At what fee do cafers think he will be? Considering Ace High won the same Group 1 race (Spring champion) and he stands at 10k Satono Aladdin doing the job here for Deep Impact....... So at this stage there will be 3 sons of Deep Impact to choose from..... Staphanos being the other
