EON ON TOP OF THE WORLD IN SWEDEN OP/ED: DO FILLIES by Tom Peacock REALLY IMPROVE WHEN SWEDENBBIt could hardly be argued strongly that Tuesday's inaugural Lady Jockeys' World Championship did RACING IN FOAL? not deliver a suitable winner. Maryline Eon was the highest-placed woman in the French standings last year and recently broke new ground, as well as earning wider recognition, when becoming the first female to ride in the G1 Prix de Diane Longines. Certainly this invitational competition at Europe's newest racecourse Bro Park just outside Stockholm has a grand title and forms part of loftier aspirations by Swedish racing organisers Svensk Gallopp. However, its purpose is rather to offer some accessible, enjoyable sport that gains promotion than an intention to disrupt the global order of the Turf on its own. Eon took two of the five races, with the selection of predominately locally-trained horses decided by a team of independent experts to give each rider one strong chance, two medium and a couple of outsiders. The 22-year-old had just Chinese White winning the 2010 Group 1 Pretty Polly S. enough points in hand to hold off the Dane Sara Slot, whose at The Curragh | racingfotos.com mount Norse Magic (GB) (Norse Dancer {Ire}) pipped her Loop by Kevin Blake De Li (Swe) (Merchant Of Venice) close home in the finale.

However, today for the "I wasn't very confident even though I've ridden in the Prix de very first time, one such question can finally be addressed using Diane," she said. "It's been a really good experience and I hope robust statistical evidence that has never before been collected other lady jockeys will have the same experience." or examined.

important requirements is that there is enough data collected to make the conclusions drawn from it as reliable as possible. With It is well known that being in season can detrimentally affect this in mind, I examined all the data from the seven years from both the behaviour and racing performance of the beginning of 2009 through to the end of 2015. This resulted fillies. Thus, the fact that fillies cease to come in the identification of a total of 443 qualifiers that raced on the into season once they are in foal is considered Flat in Great Britain and Ireland while in foal. a significant positive offshoot of pregnancy in a Once this set of data was isolated, the next step was to come racing filly.

After that, "improvement" was defined as registering a That said, there has always been the career-best Racing Post Rating whilst in foal. This improvement possibility that the perception of this apparent correlation has was then measured by the difference between their best been exaggerated by the confirmation bias caused by the racing pre-pregnancy rating and their best rating whilst pregnant. Here public only tending to be made aware of or take notice of the is what the research revealed: fact that a filly is in foal after they have won a race. Sceptical The 443 in-foal fillies/mares had a total of 1,549 starts whilst observers suggest that there are likely to be multitudes of in-foal pregnant, an average of 3.5 starts each, and they achieved a win fillies that race without success that the racing public doesn't strike rate of 8.26%. To put that into context, the win strike rate hear about and that if we were privy to all of those, the full set of the entire population of three-year-old and older fillies/mares of data would show that it isn't the key to improvement that in Great Britain and Ireland in the same period was 9.35%. Thus, many consider it to be. the strike rate of pregnant runners was 11.7% LOWER than While there has been unending conjecture on the subject from non-pregnant fillies/mares. This is a statistically-significant both sides of the debate, until now the matter has progressed difference that would not have been at all expected by many. no further than that. The primary reason for this is that while it What makes this so surprising is that even if pregnancy had no has been considered on numerous occasions in multiple racing positive effect on racing performance, it would have been jurisdictions, it has never been made compulsory for trainers to expected that the strike rate of pregnant runners would have declare if the fillies in their care are in foal. This lack of reliable been higher than that of non-pregnant runners, as there is official information has made it very difficult for anyone to draw almost certainly a positive selection bias at play in the pregnant a robust evidence-based conclusion on the matter. group. As well as it being likely that the quality and pedigree of However, that doesn't mean that this long-standing question is those chosen to race whilst pregnant would be above average, destined to remain unanswered. Indeed, I believe I have what is certain is that with their trainers having a maximum of answered it with a strong degree of certainty using historical just 120 days to race them whilst pregnant, they would be data that has been hiding in plain sight all along. pulling out every stop to get them in the winner's enclosure Weatherbys require owners/breeders to formally report the and/or show improvement.

Thus, while it was anything but a quick and easy sample was examined in search of how many of the pregnant process, it was possible to source that information from runners showed improvement.

Similar statistics were revealed when the performance of fillies/mares that raced over jumps while in-foal during the same period were examined as part of this study. While the sample is smaller with just 169 qualifiers, their strike-rate over jumps was 7.4% compared to 7.81% for all four-year-old and older fillies/mares over jumps in the same period. The percentage of those that produced career-best efforts over jumps while pregnant was just 12.4%.

It increased from an average of 7.76% between 2003 and 2008 to 9.35% between 2009 and 2015. This is likely to be attributable to the growth of the programme of races for fillies and mares. Thus, in an effort to make this study as reflective as possible of the current situation and programme book, the time period of the seven years from 2009 to 2015 was selected, as the fillies/mares strike rates remained quite stable in this time. The study did not include data from the 2016 racing year as the returns from breeders for their 2016 coverings were very much still incomplete at the time of writing.

THREE WILDCARDS FOR TATTERSALLS JULY The Tattersalls July Sale, which runs from July 12 to 14, has had three wild-card entries added to the record catalogue of 910 horses. Catalogued as Lot 239A on Wednesday, July 12 is the 87-rated Gino Severini (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), consigned by Fozzy Stack's Thomastown Castle Stables. A winner over seven furlongs back in March, the consistent 3-year-old has been placed in all three subsequent starts. He is joined by the 2-year-olds Pranceabootthetoon (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}) (Lot 586A), a recent winner on debut at Brighton for John Ryan, and Yogi's Girl (Ire) (Harbour Watch {Ire}).

The sport benefits from state-monopolised betting and subsidy from the trotting but looming on the horizon in 2019 will be the movement of wagering to the open market.

A >ROMAN= INVASION SENKOVICH HOPES by Joe Bianca SUCCESS MULTIPLIES In all sports, excitement and intrigue become palpable when there=s a battle for an individual title that comes down to the season=s final days. Whether that=s a scoring title in basketball, a batting title in baseball or a duel for the top ranking in sports like golf or tennis, all eyes are on those players= every move as their campaign draws to a close. Racing is no different, as training titles and, more frequently, riding titles, often enthrall scoreboard-watching fans in the waning days of prestigious meets. This dynamic played out dramatically in the final week of Santa Anita=s winter/spring season, as the breakout star of the last few years in California, Flavien Prat, tried to fend off the improbable bid of Evin Roman, a teenage apprentice who very few fans had heard of just six months ago.

AWe are happy with them,@ Senkovich said of the group. AWe put a lot of faith in Pat Costello. He is my partner on all that we do with Paramount Sales. Pat and I have been friends forever and the horses stay at his farm. He=s got an equity interest in the horses, so you couldn=t have any better person because he=s got skin in the game.@ He continued, AI=ve learned over the years, some people put horses where their clients want to go.

Also in this crop, we have a Pioneerof the Nile, we have an Arch, an Uncle Mo and a Union Rags. I try to buy all the hot horses that we can.@ Following on from a strong series of juvenile sales, Senkovich sees reason to be optimistic about trade at the upcoming yearling auctions. ALiving in Ocala and being around all the [juvenile] pinhookers, I think they had a good year--and I think that=s great because they are the hardest working people in show business these guys down in Ocala. And then, I think that there is a sentiment in the country that the economy is good and the stock market is strong, interest rates are still low. So people are not hearing any negatives. Overall, whether you=re a farmer or a president of a bank, when sentiment is good, people are spending. And people are buying cars and houses and boats and everything else and that transcends down to our business. The economy is good and I think the sales will be good.@ The Fasig-Tipton July Horses of Racing Age Sale will be held Monday evening beginning at 5 p.m. The Yearling sale takes place Tuesday beginning at 10 a.m.

The National Owner and Trainer Legal Defense Fund, the Pennsylvania HBPA, as well as other HBPA affiliates, provided legal support for thoroughbred trainer Murray Rojas because they strongly believe the federal Department of Justice overreached on what is clearly a state regulatory issue.

We also take issue with how the federal government applies unlimited resources against a member who is charged with a crime and brings them to the brink of bankruptcy. We support the ability of our membership to properly defend themselves in the court of law, and we respect the ultimate decision of the court.
