SIX AUSSIE RAIDERS FOR APPLEBY BIGGEST DANGER TO THE Godolphin trainer Charlie Appleby will have his first Australian POPULARITY OF BETTING runners during the spring carnival, and the Newmarket-based conditioner will look to make a big impact with six shippers, according to Racing.com. Scottish (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) on Wednesday assigned a weight of 54.5kg (120 pounds) for the G1 Caulfield Cup Oct. 15, and Appleby told the site, "I am happy with that weight. He is an adaptable horse with a high cruising speed, who I think will be ideal for Caulfield.@ Scottish is one of five nominated by Appleby to the Nov. 1 G1 Melbourne Cup, and the trainer said, "All of the five in my stable have completed their preparations over here [in Newmarket] and they are ready to go into quarantine on Sept. 15.@ Cont. in Worldwide News p11

Of all the challenges that horse racing faces in Great Britain and Ireland, one of the biggest dangers is also the one that is the least discussed in the racing media. It is a problem that has been growing steadily for the better part of a decade and now represents one of the biggest threats to the future financial stability and popularity of horse racing. That problem is the rampant practice of bookmakers severely restricting the stakes it allows bettors to place on the outcomes of horse races. Listening to the plethora of bookmaker's PR reps that are omnipresent in the racing media, an outside observer might think that modern bookmakers are aggressive operators that take on all comers both big and small. However, unless you are an incompetent or ill-informed bettor that is a long-term loser, the reality couldn't be further from this image.

Kevin Blake cont.

With the modern reality for successful bettors being that placing meaningful stakes at fair prices is often a bigger challenge than finding winners, one could understand why intelligent, hard-working sports enthusiasts would rather dedicate themselves to getting good at betting on a sport in which they can at least bet in big stakes if they wish to without undue hassle, such as football. What is even more concerning is that risk-averse bookmaker practice doesn't just detrimentally effect profitable bettors. One doesn't even necessarily have to win money off the bookmaker to have their account restricted or closed, as backing horses at bigger prices than they are sent off at no matter whether they go on to win or lose is often sufficient to result in stake restrictions from bookmakers. Worse still, rather than taking these decisions to restrict bettors based on a large sample of bets, in many cases bettors are finding their stakes restricted after a mere handful of bets. This means that countless recreational punters that have been, or are likely to be, long-term losers are being caught up in the crossfire of bookmaker stake restrictions, causing no end of frustration and disillusionment amongst a group that is one of the foundation stones of the racing industry. It is hard enough to attract new customers into horse racing as it is without risk-averse bookmaker practice turning them away from betting on the sport. Given that not all horse racing supporters are regular bettors, this problem is not one that will be familiar to everyone involved in racing. Awareness of the scale and seriousness of the problem has also been stifled by the fact that bookmakers are one of the leading advertisers and employers in the racing media, meaning that precious few racing journalists and broadcasters have been willing to upset the apple cart by raising the issue. Even to those supporters of horse racing that have no interest in betting, the bigger-picture ramifications of all of this should be very clear. Whether one likes it or not, horse racing and betting are joined at the hip. In all bar a handful of super-rich racing jurisdictions, a significant proportion of the funding that funds horse racing comes either directly or indirectly from the betting industry. Whether one is talking about betting tax/levy that directly funds the sport, the lucrative media rights deals that are so vital to the finances of racecourses or the significant sponsorship/advertising revenue the racing industry attracts from the betting sector, all of it is directly linked to the popularity of betting on horse racing. If betting turnover on racing continues to drop, the value of all those revenue streams will drop, which will translate to drastically-reduced funding and media coverage for horse racing.

Kevin Blake cont. Horse racing's share of the betting turnover pie has already been significantly reduced in the last 15 years as betting on other sports and wagering mediums has increased in popularity. Increasingly risk-averse practice by bookmakers and active efforts by bookmakers to funnel horse racing bettors into other betting mediums that are more profitable and predictable for them, such as sports betting and casino games, are only serving to accelerate this redistribution of betting turnover. The solution to this very serious problem is simple. A precedent has been set in Australia in recent years whereby the racing authorities in New South Wales made it a requirement for any bookmaker that wished to take bets on races held there to guarantee to accept a bet from any customer to lose a minimum liability of AUS$1,000 at country tracks and AUS$2,000 at city tracks. Despite a great amount of protest from the bookmakers at the time that new rule was introduced, two years into the arrangement reports suggest that the guarantee is working to the satisfaction of both bookmakers and bettors. Indeed, a similar policy is currently in the process of being implemented in Victoria. The closest thing we have to such a situation in Great Britain and Ireland are a set of similar guarantees that were voluntarily introduced by Coral for their British-based betting shop customers, which they have expressed satisfaction with. More recently, a new bookmaker called Black Type Bet has launched in recent weeks that seeks to return to a traditional bookmaking model and offer a guaranteed bet up to a ,500 liability to all comers as well as a promise not to close winning accounts. While it is admirable for Coral and Black Type Bet to take it upon themselves to offer such guarantees, if the tide of falling betting turnover on horse racing is to be reversed, the introduction of an across-the-board bet guarantee is the only realistic solution. This is too serious a situation for the government and the racing authorities to continue to ignore.

THE BALL=S BACK IN STRIVING TO BE BIGGER, BETTER, NEW ENHANCEMENTS AT KY DOWNS MEET HENNIG=S >COURT= By Bill Finley With his track already having purses that are nothing less than staggering, a five-day festival meet and a betting product that horseplayers find irresistible, one of the biggest challenges for Kentucky Downs President Corey Johnsen is how to make one meet better than the next. It may not be easy, but track management will try to build on past successes this year with an improved simulcasting presentation, even higher purses and through a purse contribution it made to Ellis Park, which Johnsen believes can only help his track. Johnsen wants Kentucky Downs to be known as the most horseplayer-friendly track in the country. With its big fields and low takeouts, Kentucky Downs is already ranked No. 1 as the top track for gamblers by the Horseplayers Association of North America. Yet, Johnsen felt the track's simulcasting presentation needed work.

Ball=s In Hennig=s >Court= cont. AI didn=t know when I got there,@ Hennig said Wednesday morning outside of his Saratoga barn when asked what the game plan was going into KEESEP. AMr. Adam just asked me if I was coming to Keeneland and said he might buy something. I thought he might buy one horse. But when we started out it didn=t take me long to realize he was pretty serious about it. And I think he will be again this year.@ He continued, AMy wife and I went down there and we combined the lists of horses we had each looked at independently--I wrote down some horses, Ernie wrote down some horses and Mr. Adam wrote down some horses and we looked at those and put together what we felt was a real nice list. We hit it off right away--it=s a great relationship. We had a lot of fun during the sale, and we=ve had a great time subsequently the rest of the year. We=ve had great communication and we=ve enjoyed it. It feels like a real team.@ When Hennig returned to his New York base after the sale, he was joined by Courtlandt homebred Strike Charmer (Smart Strike), winner of the 2014 GIII Cardinal H. for previous conditioner David Carroll. The then- 5-year-old mare took a grassy Aqueduct allowance in her first start for the Hennig barn in November, and has been in the best form of her Strike Charmer | Sarah K Andrew career this term at six. She annexed the GIII Beaugay S. May 14 at Belmont, but was eighth in the GI Just a Game S. back there June 11 and fifth-- beaten just 1 3/4 lengths--in the GI Diana S. at Saratoga July 23. Last Saturday, Strike Charmer rallied from last to first to upset previously unbeaten Lady Eli (Divine Park) at 27-1 in the GII Woodford Reserve Ballston Spa S. AWe were optimistic--we were hoping she could get one of those with her name on it,@ Hennig said when asked if he was surprised at all by his charge=s most recent performance. AShe was close. She had won the Beaugay at Belmont and had shown she kind of fit with that group. In the Just a Game, she had no chance to run, and was only beaten six lengths. You kind of just have to wait until the luck falls your way sometimes. It got us off the duck [at the meet], too.@ And those pricey Keeneland babies have started showing up in the afternoon, as well. In last Saturday=s opener, Capitaine (Tapit), a $400,000 purchase from the family of Kitten=s Joy and Dreaming of Anna, finished a sneaky-good fifth going six panels. Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 9 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • SEPTEMBER 2, 2016

AHe was out a little wide, got bounced around a bit, but I thought going three-quarters he ran a very credible race,@ said Hennig, who added that few if any of the horses he=s ever trained have run their best race in their first race, and that the horses Adam purchased at Keeneland are all more geared towards Classic-type races. Sunday it was $340,000 pick-up Cursor (Quality Road)=s chance to strut her stuff. Away slowly, she kicked home nicely down the center of the track to put a scare into well-meant fellow newcomer Sky Gesture (Tiznow) and finish a clear second. AI thought she might go ahead and get the job done going three-quarters because she=s just that kind of horse,@ Hennig said of the close relative to local Grade I winner Visionaire and Grade I-winning >TDN Rising Star= Tara=s Tango. AShe does everything right. But she had that outside post, got shuffled back a little bit early. I had told [jockey] Junior [Alvarado] don=t rush Breeders’ Cup Juvenile: September 17, Iroquois Stakes - GIII her--don=t chase--let her run her race.
