"Miss Andretti is different to the horse we brought last year,@ he ex- plained. AFalkirk was a weak, big thing, although he was an entire and he had foot trouble nearly all the time he was here. It was a case of trying to hold him to- gether rather than carry on as normal and train. Miss Andretti has done very, very well, so we can train her a bit more, which should be an advantage and she is a significantly better horse. I think she has travelled well, but it is always a risk when you travel a mare. She is very adaptable, but she has had a bit of racing and had a bit of travelling. Once she got here and settled into the surroundings, she was pretty happy.@ Caulfield- based Peter Moody, paying his first visit to Britain, hopes the five-year-old Magnus will enhance his stud value with a good performance at Ascot. "The horse=s long-term value is really why we=re here. He=s been offered places at stud in Australia, but he would be worth far more if he won at Ascot," said Moody. "There=s nothing definite about which races we go for and we could even go home after Tuesday if we thought we were hurting his value by continuing to run him here. I=ve had it in mind to bring one over here ever since Choisir=s wins at Ascot in 2003--that gave me the confidence to have a crack if I had the right horse. vinery.com Damien Oliver has just successfully delayed a suspen- sion so he=ll be able to ride and hopefully be on a plane Red Rocks on Target for Prince of Wales’s... over here later."

    THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2021 AMERICAN PHAROAH, SUPER TRAINERS IN CALIFORNIA: THE STORY IN NUMBERS PLETCHER, FISHER 2021 by Dan Ross Over the years, the rise of the so-called super trainer has INDUCTEES INTO HOF prompted many a clutched pearl by virtue of a perceived monopoly on the sport. Anecdotally, it can certainly appear as though the same few names wield an outsized impact. But what does the data say? The TDN has crunched the numbers in California from 2007 onward. This is far from a comprehensive overview of the situation, and what emerges is a picture that can be viewed from multiple angles. On the one hand, the numbers suggest that the biggest stables in the state have indeed consolidated their positions at the top during a long period of market contraction. Yet at the same time, other indicators afford tentative encouragement for the smaller players.
