The Inner Course contingency is therefore a plan against potential abandonment and the intention is to use the Outer Course where possible. * all timings subject to change *All timings subject to change PAGE 04 QIPCO BRITISH CHAMPIONS DAY MEDIA GUIDE 1:25PM QIPCO BRITISH CHAMPIONS LONG DISTANCE CUP (GROUP 2) Total prize money £500,000 Prize money breakdown: 1st: £283,550 - 2nd: £107,500 3rd: £53,800 - 4th: £26,800 - 5th: £13,450 - 6th: £6,750 • 2m (3200m) Round Course | 3yo+ | No Penalties | Maximum Field 20 • Next deadline is the second entry stage on Tuesday 2nd October • Supplementary Entries (£35,000) close by noon on Monday 15th October • Declare 10am Thursday 18th October LAST YEAR’S WINNER: ORDER OF ST GEORGE Order Of St George pulled off an unlikely-looking second victory in the race, having looked held when fourth and seemingly toiling two furlongs out. At that point, the Jessica Harrington-trained Torcedor had kicked clear, but the leader suddenly began to tire close home, allowing his pursuers to sweep past with Ryan Moore’s mount just getting home. “We all know what a talented horse he is, but he is a little bit funny,” said part-owner Michael Tabor. “To be honest, I thought he was beaten and briefly turned away from watching, but Ryan has really galvanised him.” POSSIBLE CONTENDERS THIS YEAR INCLUDE ORDER OF ST GEORGE Will he be back to bid for a second success in this race? Defeat in the Gold Cup at Ascot in June showed that the six-year-old still can’t be fully relied upon to give his best on every occasion, but he has seemed to come alive in the latter stages of the season before and if any trainer can get him firing on all cylinders again, it’s the amazing Aidan O’Brien. The winner of more than half of his 25 career appearances, his prize money earnings are on the cusp of reaching £2million. STRADIVARIUS Only third in this race last year, weeks after occupying the same placing in the Ladbrokes St Leger, trainer John Gosden was adamant after the race that the best would still be to come this year. So it has proved with an impressive success in the MansionBet Yorkshire Cup on his first start of 2018 followed by a battling victory in the Gold Cup at Ascot and questions about his stamina for the marathon two-and-a-half-mile test being answered emphatically. Most recently he struck again in the Qatar Goodwood Cup to put himself in line for the Weatherbys Hamilton £1million bonus. TORCEDOR Looked to have this race in the bag at the furlong-pole 12 months ago, only to falter sufficiently in the final strides to end up out of the placings. However, he put memories of a disastrous trip to Dubai behind him when scoring in style at Ascot in May and once again showed his liking for the track when third behind Stradivarius in the Gold Cup the following month. Positive tactics may appear to make him vulnerable close home, but they also undoubtedly bring out in the best in this very likeable performer and he again went down with all guns blazing at Goodwood on his latest start.

    THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 2019 REGIONAL SIRES FOR 2019 CANADIAN OWNER/BREEDER BILL GRAHAM PASSES AWAY By Perry Lefko The Canadian Thoroughbred horse racing community is mourning the passing of Bill Graham, a larger than life figure in the industry as a prominent owner, breeder and builder in various capacities. He passed away Tuesday at 81-years-old following a battle with lung cancer. Graham, a burly individual who played three seasons as an offensive lineman in the Canadian Football League, had been involved in the business for almost 50 years. He was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 2014 and was scheduled to receive the E.P. Taylor Award of Merit at this year's Sovereign Awards along with fellow breeder/owner Gus Schickedanz for their lifelong dedication and commitment to Thoroughbred racing and breeding in Canada.

  • Development of a Welfare Index for Thoroughbred Racehorses

    Development of a Welfare Index for Thoroughbred Racehorses

    DEVELOPMENT OF A WELFARE INDEX FOR THOROUGHBRED RACEHORSES Alison Glen Mactaggart M. Qual. Psychology A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 School of Veterinary Science Abstract A uniform method capable of measuring animal welfare within the Thoroughbred Racing Industry (TBRI) does not exist. The aims of this study were to first investigate the importance of different welfare issues for Thoroughbred Racehorses (TBR) in Australia and then to incorporate them into a TBR welfare index (TRWI) that could be utilised in the industry. The second aim was assisted by the first, which utilised the expert opinion of stakeholders with in the TRWI, highlighting those aspects of husbandry requiring most improvement, and validated with behavioural measures. National and State Associations linked to racing were invited to send two delegates (experts) to a stakeholder meeting to determine key welfare issues, which they considered may have negative equine welfare implications. Following this a survey was created which posed vignettes of different combinations of welfare issues, which was subsequently presented to stakeholders around Australia. Fourteen key welfare issues were identified, each with two to four levels that were related to common husbandry practices. The 224 respondents identified the following welfare issues in declining order of importance: horsemanship > health and disease > education of the horse > track design and surface > ventilation > stabling > weaning > transport > nutrition > wastage > heat and humidity > whips > environment > gear. Further analysis of data tested the statistical significance of demographic factors, which determined that the respondents were relatively uniform in their answers. The TRWI which emerged from the responses could potentially be used to identify and improve welfare in training establishments.

Golden Horn, Gleneagles Slated to Finally Meet in Irish Champion The much anticipated matchup between star European miler GLENEAGLES (IRE) and fellow standout GOLDEN HORN (GB) appears set to finally take place Saturday in Leopardstown’s $1.33 million “Win and You’re In” QIPCO Irish Champion (GI), with an eight-horse field in place, and a berth in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf going to the winner. The Irish Champion is one of three Challenge races at Leopardstown and highlights a weekend that features 10 total “Win and You’re In” races, including the prestigious Ricoh Woodbine Mile (GI) Sunday. A rainy forecast for Friday has caused Leopardstown officials to move the Irish Champion to the outside course, and to start Saturday’s race about one hour earlier in the program. The connections of both Coolmore’s Gleneagles and Anthony Oppenheimer’s Golden Horn, the pair of 3-year-old standouts are expected to meet in the 1 ¼-mile race after the latter withdrew from a potential clash in the “Win and You’re In” Juddmonte International (GI) at York August 19 due to the soft turf.
