That would entail stipes to actually do some work so no chance Charlie

White Robe are very astute with their stallion selections. Great to see a different sire line coming in. I have been looking at the Aclaim yearlings at the MM March Sale and I think they are really nice looking horses ( and my pick Lot 182 in coming to NZ ! ) I'm really looking forward to see how the Ancient Spirit progeny from White Robe go as 3 year olds. From the press release about Aflaila it seems Brian's grandson was involved in finding the horse, so that is good see White Robe is obviously going to carry in the family.

And so good to see the very impressive Autumn Glow back.  Not to mention Via Sistina. I am also looking forward to seeing Wodeton when he’s 3.

What a great day’s racing at Rosehill last weekend, with some superb performances across the card. The Golden Slipper lived up to expectations with a homebred filly MARHOONA  just lasting to beat the unlucky, expensive colt WODETON, who ran the fastest last 600m of the race in 33.7 to just go under. Great effort by the Freedman team and superb ride by Damian Lane to get the filly home at just her third start, something only done once before by Toy Show. RIVELLINO and TEMPTED were two of the unlucky runners. GRINGOTTS  has always been highly regarded by the Maher camp and proved his quality in an epic battle with FANGIRL and CEOWULF. FANGIRL was huge in that race, three wide all the way yet still ran the fastest last 600m of the race 32.98 to go under a lip. PRIVATE HARRY enhanced his growing reputation in the sprint, but BRIASA was the run of the race from a terrible draw, running his last 600m in 32.6, compared to the winnners 33.49. A decent draw and things would have been very interesting. Certainly a few to follow.  

I would not waste time trying to debate him...he is a stirrer nothing more.

One more confirmed for the TAB Trot - Not As Promised - to race out of the Dunstan Horse Feeds slot, it's startin to heat up 🤗   Cheers Iraklis 

You still fail to get the concept of the comment to which I replied too. You are the one trying to show where in the report it is funded.

Yes, ALFAILA was a decent horse up here. At one point he was rated 120 but that slipped to 116 after a couple of weaker runs late last year. He wasn't the most precocious of 2-y-o and while he won over 1200m on debut he was quickly stepped up to 1400m and in his final juvenile race in October 2021 ran sixth in a Group 3 at Newmarket in a race won by thr 2022 2000 Guineas winner, the ill-fated CORROEBUS. He won a handicap easily on his first start as a 3-y-o but was only midfield in the Jersey at Ascot but he was moved up again to the mile and after a narrow defeat at Newmarket, he then found his form winning two Listed races and ending up beating OTTOMAN FLEET (another Godolphin horse who has run well at Meydan and elsewhere) in the Group 3 Darley Stakes in October 2022. It looked like ALFAILA was the sort who would improve with time and racing and so it proved but his 4-y-o campaign was curtailed, I believe, by injury and he ran just twice - first time, he won the Group 2 York Stakes over 2000m beating the useful MY PROSPERO after which they sent him to the Group 1 Irish Champion Stakes where was fifth, beaten less than four lengths, by AUGUSTE RODIN. That's a quality race and in the 2023 renewal the four in front of him also included LUXEMBOURG, NASHWA and KING OF STEEL - all Group 1 winners. He then had another nine months off the track (not sure why) before returning as a 5-y-o at Ascot last June when he finished between AUGUSTE RODIN again, beaten about the same distance, in the Prince of Wales Stakes. From there, he went back to York and won the Group 2 again before aiming about as hight as it gets in the Juddmonte International over the same course and distance but the gap between Group 1 and Group 2 was evident as he was between 24 lengths by the likes of CITY OF TROY and CALANDAGAN. That was his last race in the UK - he had two more runs in Bahrain and Qatar and in the latter ran the York form with KING'S GAMBIT almost to the ounce. Basically, a solid Group 2 performer at 2000m - seemed to like quick ground and fairly versatile though the bets of his form was on more galloping tracks. Dual York Stakes winner Alflaila to stand at White Robe Lodge in New Zealand | Racing Post It seems Shadwell will retain a breeding interest - he's standing at an attractive fee and I imagine the book of mares will be interesting.  Just to note the dam did all her best running on soft ground and given the sire and grand sire were sprinters I'm surprised ALFAILA stayed the 2000m.

It's baffling how inconsistent the stewards can be. One race, a driver gets a week off for something minor, and the next, a blatant move goes unpunished. Maybe they thought the interference wasn’t severe enough, but if it changed the race result, surely that’s worthy of at least a mention? At the end of the day, it feels like any infraction is a coin toss with the stipes. Some decisions just leave you shaking your head.

Good thing you are awake lol . I didn't even notice 🤣

Could have been worse, could have said Johnny 🤣

My wish to have an Acclamation-line stallion in NZ has come true. Dark Angel's Alflaila announced for White Robe.

REckon Gary will be thrilled to know there's a winning rider's stake coming his way. How many years ago did he retire? LOL
