Will Players Take a Hike Over Hike in Takeout? TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2017 THE WEEK IN REVIEW: EQUESTRICON DAY ONE BRINGS PLENTY OF SUBSTANCE by Joe Bianca WILL PLAYERS TAKE A HIKE SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY - A good crowd, lots of smiling faces and healthy debate over a host of hot-button issues comprised OVER HIKE IN TAKEOUT? the effective beginning of Equestricon, the first-ever national horse racing convention, Monday in Saratoga Springs. Though Equestricon hosted a number of events around town and at the racetrack Sunday, Monday morning was the opening bell of a jam-packed two days hosted at the Saratoga Springs City Center. There were panels, seminars, giveaways and dozens of booths ranging from industry stalwarts to upstarts. Topics covered in panel discussions ran the gamut from Thoroughbred aftercare to handicapping tournaments. This is a slice of my experience at this decidedly new venture in horse racing networking and promotion. (Click here to continue p6) IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Keeneland | Horsephotos ALMANZOR RETURNS AT DEAUVILLE Tom Peacock has another edition of The Weekly Wrap, with by T.D. Thornton all the latest views from the past week’s European results. Imagine if management at a racetrack asked horse owners and Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. trainers to accept an up-front purse cut, in the form of a lower contractual slice of wagering revenue, so that the betting takeout could remain low enough to retain quality horseplayers. The reasoning behind the move would be that the track wanted to remain competitive as a top-tier wagering option in a shrinking marketplace, and the upside would be that if enough horseplayers embraced the low-takeout track, overall betting handle would rise, and so would purses. If everything worked out as planned, the larger theoretical pie would more than make up for the smaller-percentage slice. It=s unlikely any track management would ever initiate such a conversation in today=s pari-mutuel marketplace. It=s also difficult to think that owners and trainers would embrace any proposition that involved trading up-front money for a non-guaranteed future benefit. Yet if you think of the economic model of North American racing as a simplified triangle (whose three sides are comprised of owners/trainers, track managements, and bettors), and then switch around the above-referenced proposition so that the bettors and owners/trainers are on opposite sides of the equation, that pretty much sums up the argument that Keeneland Association offered to horseplayers last week when it came to light that the track would be increasing betting takeouts (story here).

Från 2002 DNA-typas fölen i samband med fölregistreringen. Från samma år utfärdas även pass, utförda enligt EU:s direktiv, till de registrerade fölen. 2004 bytte Svenska Galoppförbundet namn till Svensk Galopp. Uppläggningen av Svensk Stuteribok följer internationella bestämmelser. I stuteriboken får bara införas engelska fullblod. Så kallade B-registrerade fullblodshästar redovisas därför i en särskild publikation. Den första stuteriboken i Sverige utkom 1872 med titeln ”Nordiska Stuteriboken” på Nordiska Jockeyklubbens förlag. Redaktör var den kände hippologen Carl Gustaf Wrangel.
