The 2017 Longines World=s Best Jockey picked up a suspension on Ellerslie=s Karaka Millions card in New Zealand on Saturday that, added to a seven-day suspension incurred the previous day at Warwick Farm in Sydney, will see him sidelined from Feb. 4 to 22. Bowman told the Daily Telegraph, "I won't be appealing it and I expect her [Winx] to start as planned on the 17th and I won't be riding her, which will be a strange experience. I don't know who will be next in line but [trainer] Chris [Waller] will work something out." Winx, who was last seen winning her third straight G1 Cox Plate on Oct. 28, rides a 22-race win streak, and Bowman has been in the saddle for all but two of those wins, the exceptions being the first and third of those victories.

By Alex Cairns The Irish Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Expo 2018 took place at Goffs sales complex in County Kildare on Friday and Saturday. Numerous businesses and industry figures were present at what is effectively a trade fair for the Thoroughbred industry in Ireland, with trade stands and promotional presentations being complemented by events including seminars and a ' Den-style contest for businesses in the sector. Innovation, collaboration, and positivity were watchwords across the two days, but serious matters such as Brexit, racecourse attendance and funding concerns provided some balance to an otherwise optimistic and future-focused event. ITBA chief executive Shane O'Dwyer reflected on the two days, Winx and Hugh Bowman | Darren Tindale saying, "We put together a programme of events for the Thoroughbred industry and we're certainly pleased with the way things went.

JUVENILES SHINE IN DIAMOND PREVIEWS On the eve of New Zealand=s Karaka sale, one of its pricier 2017 graduates, Long Leaf (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), extended his unbeaten record to three and put himself in pole position for the Feb. 24 G1 Blue Diamond S. with a win in the male division of Caulfield=s Listed Blue Diamond Preview. Owned by a Coolmore partnership and trained by the Lindsay Park team, Long Leaf graduated going this 1000-metre trip at Morphettville on Oct. 28 and took a listed contest over the same distance at Sandown the following month. Content to take a sit three lengths off the lead, the NZ$750,000 acquisition had a wall of four runners ahead of him turning into the straight, but a wide opening materialized as those fanned out and the bay charged through. Sticking his head in front at the 200, Long Leaf held off a facile rally from Ollivander (Aus) (Charge Forward {Aus}) to win Lady Horseowner | Bronwen Healy by a half-length. Long Leaf=s dam, Frustrating (Aus) (Stravinsky), is a half-sister Coolmore connections had another pricey Fastnet Rock colt to Group 1 winners Terravista (Aus) (Captain Rio {GB}) and Tiger win on Saturday when the 3-year-old Siege of Quebec (Aus) Tees (NZ) (Dubawi {Ire}), as well as Singapore champion Super made a winning return at Rosehill for Gai Waterhouse and Easy (NZ) (Darci Brahma {NZ}), and the Fastnet Rock over Adrian Bott. The A$1.2-million colt, the winner of his first two Stravinsky cross is the same one that produced the four-time starts last winter, was making his first start since finishing Group 1 winner Mosheen (Aus). second in the Listed Rosebud S. over this 1100 metre track and AHe's a definite stallion prospect in the future now," co-trainer trip in August.

Put to a drive by jockey Nikita Beriman, Lady Horseowner got to the front inside the final 50 metres to win by a quarter-length from Crossing The Abbey (Aus) ( {Aus}). Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa al Maktoum=s Oohood (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) came flying late between runners but had to settle for third. Lady Horseowner is not nominated for the A$1.5-million Blue Diamond, and her owner/breeders Paul and Carol King would have to pay a A$55,000 late fee to run the filly in four weeks= time. Paul King told Racing.com, "Why not? On that run, you'd have to give it a go wouldn't you? But it's going to be his [trainer Greg Eurell's] call," Paul King said.
