<< Continued from page 1 Strict biosecurity rules were implemented early and have ensured that there have been relatively few incursions by the virus into the racing sphere. Even potential exposure to the virus has been dealt with strongly, as seen by the tests required of those Melbourne jockeys who had been in Sydney last weekend. Australia, Hong Kong and Japan are the three major jurisdictions who have been able to continue racing throughout the pandemic. The United States has also continued without stopping, but the country has also seen a number of outbreaks amongst participants - especially within their jockey colonies - and racing at a number of tracks has been postponed on many occasions.

Not that it matters to Mehreen Faruqi and her supporters, whose anti- racing crusade would be utterly laughable if it wasn’t gaining traction year on year. Perhaps the industry should be relieved that the Trump-Biden election removed the Melbourne Cup from the news cycle within hours. The Melbourne Cup was the culmination of a particularly brutal spring in which a number of horses were injured at Werribee. While many people suggest simply ignoring the “ban racing” crowd because they are a vocal minority, they are growing all the time.

For Arrowfield Stud’s Snitzel, it was win number four, becoming the High - Denis Pagan most prolific champion sire since Danehill (Danzig). Heading into 2021, he sits tenth on the general sires list and is yet to have a two-year-old winner in Australia this season. Last season, he’d already had five two-year-olds victorious by the end of the year, including stakes winners Away Game and Wild Ruler. However, horses like Golden Gift (1100m) runner-up Cerda look capable of figuring in the two-year-old races in the autumn and they are likely to prove critical to the stallion making it a high-five. Waikato Stud stalwart Savabeel made it six straight titles with his Grosvenor Award win in 2019-20. He is already on top in this year’s premiership and, through sheer volume of runners, it will take an extraordinary effort for him to be toppled.

IT'S INTREVOR MARSHALLSEA'S THE IN-DEPTH PEDIGREE BLOOD ANALYSIS

TREVOR MARSHALLSEA | @ANZ_NEWS

on Gilbert turned away from the pitiful sight before him, and stared into the Darling Downs hills to gather his thoughts. RIt was a scorching Queensland February day. Half an hour earlier Gilbert was sitting down to watch the 1999 edition of a breeders’ “must-see” – the Blue Diamond Stakes. A phone call from a groom abruptly scrapped those plans, and the successful builder and businessman – who had taken up breeding only a few years earlier – was now standing in some distress on his Highgrove Stud farm. His beautiful broodmare Decidity, who had a five-month-old colt at foot, was lying on the ground in agony, stricken by a bout of Paulele SPORTPIX colic as sudden as it was severe. She had been writhing in pain, but was now too wretched Gilbert had bought Decidity at the Inglis went ‘round in an AJC Oaks and Flemington’s to do even that.

As if by way of thanking Gilbert for that second chance against 99, Decidity not only survived but became a star, a rock upon which Highgrove is built. As another ’99 went by – that year giving way to a new millennium - in September, 2000, Decidity bore a filly by Snippets. Two months later, that son of Rory’s Jester, a $105,000 yearling later named Time Out, won on debut at Randwick for Gai Waterhouse. He won two of his next four as well, and was fancied in the 2001 Golden Slipper before a stone bruise forced his scratching. After those efforts, Decidity’s Snippets filly fetched Gilbert $220,000 at the 2002 Sydney Easter sale. Trained by John Hawkes, she was named Legally Bay - a riff on the recent film Legally Blonde, and a nod to her Legally Bay SPORTPIX errant colour listing in the catalogue, when she was in fact chestnut.

They collaborate for ANZ’s race analysis for stakes races, as well as some two- year-old events, and they submit a short list from which the Maiden Of The Week is chosen. “As we are looking for horses with potential for better things, we focus on younger horses - so mainly two-year-olds or three-year-olds,” Boman said yesterday. “There are many things Classique Legend SPORTPIX that we look at from the time they enter the yard until they are back in their box.
