Last year=s sale was held in one session but a marked increase in entries lead to a second day added this time around and as a result the number offered on Wednesday was significantly lower than last year. This in turn had an adverse effect on the day=s turnover which came in at i2,921,500. However the average and median of i18,034 (-4.9%) and i14,000 (-6.7%) held up reasonably on last year. Of slightly more concern was the drop in clearance rate from last year=s 85% to 79% after 162 of the 205 offered yearlings changed hands. Cont. p3 IN TDN AMERICA TODAY Enable | Racing Post N.

AWhat you see is what you get and he was very impressive here in the d=Harcourt.@ Perhaps the real story of the draw is the fact that the June 2 G1 Prix du Jockey Club hero Sottsass (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) is on the rail in one, leaving Cristian Demuro with apparently little choice than to play a waiting game with all the other leading contenders breaking away from the representative of Peter Brant=s White Birch Farm. Since the Chantilly Classic was shortened to 10 1/2 furlongs, no winner has gone on to Arc glory and the last to complete the double when it was staged at a mile and a half was Dalakhani (Ire) in 2003.

AHe=s in very good form--he eats well, sleeps well and works well so all in fine.@ Sottsass warmed up for his biggest test with a win in the course-and-distance trial, the Sept. 15 G2 Prix Niel, but it was not without incident as he needed a gap on the fence which only just came in time. Rouget was giving out positive signals as he reflected on that effort. AIt was very important to have an easy race there, as he had a long break and so the scenario was good for him,@ he explained, before scotching fears of testing conditions. AHe won the [Listed] Prix de Suresnes here on heavy ground, so I don=t think the ground is important to him. We hope to win and my feeling is he is a mile-and-a-half horse, but any race is hard to win and this is harder than the others. I=ve been training for forty years and it=s not a headache for me not to have won it--it=s not an obsession for me. I just want him to run very well.

  • 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.
