Outlander , if you are a Scotsman  how do you know what Clan you belong to ,bearing in mind most clansman were wiped out at Culloden , easily resolved , if you lift a Scotsman's  kilt and there are two quarter pounders then obviously he's a Mc Donald .       q

Racenet has learned John Symons and Sheila Laxon have launched District Court action against RV after their Cup winnings were deposited into an old bank account they no longer have access to. RV insists it simply put the money into the account it had on file and claimed it has since tried to help the trainers. The money has not been passed onto Symons and Laxon from the person who is now believed to operate that account.

G'day Spike City. Tim Butt was at Menangle for a number of years racing . (so they knew Grimson from that and he had a couple of 2 year old drives on Swayzee way back in 2020 season) .  Think Tim Butt still has the Australasian record time actually with 'My Field Marshall' at 1.46 something in his Miracle Mile Win. But when son Riley got to driving age he bought a property near Brisbane (around Covid time) and set up shop here. Riley Butt now has the training license. only doing very average so far but very young. (and the horses here are bloody quick these days 😅)  At first Ant's had shares in nearly all their horse's of Tim and Riley's training,  as they were using his loyal stable owners to set up . Including Swayzee.   around 2 years ago the horse was sold off by Ants and some of the others,  to Mick Boots and Jason Grimson . with Drake and Jackson retaining shares as well. As the horse had Terrible form in Brisbane and was running near last in country Midweek meetings (unplaced 10 starts in a row) let alone trying to race Saturday night Metro.  The Grimson 'machine' training sure got him going though 😂👍, like they do with a 'fair few' others . but mostly for much shorter periods. 

He couldn't contain his excitement when Reputation won, even for him lols. Reckon he had a good punt 😄  

I guess it is seeing as he drove him way back. Jason Grimson actually drove him his first two starts  Would be interesting to see his life story - both Swayzee and Grimson

A M Butt in ownership? Is that the same person as the driver we know? I know T Butt had the horse for a year or so and would run last at country meetings - maybe Ants sacked his brother - if so worked out well.

Hey what's wrong with that, I do that too. Probably explains why I am always single.

No chance...

They are still waiting for the money. On a positive note Knights Choice is poised to become the first Melbourne Cup winner to race in the All Star Mile after winning a 1000m hitout this week.

In 30 years time he might be as good as Tony Lee.

R 4 today at the well shaded and picturesque  Tauherenikau Race track was won by the 3 year old filly  Bold Choice. A good effort by Ferrando 's daughter giving that sire his 4th individual winner. It was Team Rogerson's 5th winner for this season with a SR of 14.2. Bold Choice not a NZ Oaks nominee.

Not just his hat mate. He has a habit of doing the old " I did this, and I did that" .. audience not the slightest bit interested in what he did or what he does. Also bad habit of sucking his saliva when he gets excited.  I have to wonder where they get them from sometimes  ??

Yep understand, and times change. Just saying if I had a Grey Way in Race 1 then I wouldn't be overjoyed. I can see that it would be difficult to try and ensure the track is at Good for the first few races.

Prince Rahim al-Hussaini, a son of the Aga Khan IV, was named as his successor on Wednesday, inheriting the role of spiritual leader of millions of Ismaili Muslims around the world.   He will take over a vast portfolio. The family and Ismaili institutions are stunningly wealthy: Estimates of the fortune have ranged from $1 billion to $13 billion, with holdings ranging from airlines to real estate to newspapers. The late Aga Khan rubbed elbows with royalty, owned racehorses and flew on private jets, and was widely admired for building institutions and doing philanthropic work, particularly in Asia and Africa, that made a point of benefiting people far outside the ranks of his own sect.

I thought it was worth noting the death of the Aga Khan overnight at the age of 88. His green silks were a staple of British, French and Irish racing for decades. Champions like SHERGAR, DAYLAMI, SEE THE STARS and ZARKAVA, among many others, carried his colours and he built up an enormous bloodstock operation in France and Ireland including the Gilltown Stud, from which SHERGAR was abducted. I’ve no clue as to what will happen to the vast racing empire now he has passed.
