In winning a mile and a half handicap at Kempton on Saturday Stand Guard posted his 28th win on the all-weather eclipsing the previous record set by Don Cantillon=s La Estrella (Theatrical {Ire}) in December of 2015. "He got the record and he's good and fine after the race,@ reported Butler. "We'll assess him during the week, give him a few easy days and make a plan from there. There are races for him. The handicapper will have a say on Tuesday, and we'll see which bracket he is in, but if he's OK there is every possibility he might run again,@ Butler added. Bred by Juddmonte Farms, Stand Guard raced only once for Khalid Abdullah and Sir Michael Stoute before being sold at Tattersalls in 2007 for 22,000gns. Since then he has had six different trainers over an 83 race career and his victory on Saturday was his 17th for Butler.

    Australian Racing Fact Book A Guide to the Racing Industry in Australia 2000 - 2001 Published by the Australian Racing Board December 2001 1 Although every effort has been made to ensure the information provided in the Australian Racing Fact Book, this publication may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. The Australian Racing Board assumes no responsibility for any such inaccuracies, errors or omissions in this publication or in other documents referred to within the publication. We would appreciate being notified of any errors that are discovered. 2 FForewordoreword The Australian Racing Board is pleased to introduce the third edition of The Australian Racing Fact Book, our annual reference guide to the Australian thoroughbred racing industry. In a few years we will celebrate the bicentenary of racing in Australia. In the almost 200 years since its beginnings, a three day meeting held in Hyde Park in 1810, Australian racing has become not only one of this nation's best loved sports but also a major component of the economy. By 2001 thoroughbred racing has grown to become an industry that generates a gross economic impact of $7.74 billion, and provides work, directly and indirectly, for 249,000 people. When you bear this in mind it is only to be expected that there is keen interest, from both within the industry and more generally, in records relating to the health and performance of the Australian thoroughbred racing industry. Our intention in producing the Fact Book is to meet this demand by assembling a range of useful facts and figures as a handy guide to any person seeking information on major aspects of the industry.

The Sydney Autumn Carnival kicks off on 14 March and is an explosion of top class racing, attracting horses from all over Australia and beyond to partake in the huge prizemoney. The NSWROA has new initiatives planned for this year to not only grow our membership, and therefore our voice in the industry, but also to enhance the membership experience. A day at the Scone Races, followed by a visit to Vinery Stud was held for members late January. This was a very enjoyable day for our guests and a change of pace from our usual city-based events. We also presented a trophy for their 2yo race of the day. We are holding our popular ‘Apollo Stakes Day’ event on 15 February and arrangements for our flagship event, Racing’s Night of Champions (13 August) have already begun. Unfortunately, our very worthy charity Spinal Cord Injuries Australia is not in a position to fulfil their role as our fundraising body this year, but we hope to have them back in years to come. Another worthy beneficiary will be announced shortly. Tabcorp is a world-class diversified gambling entertainment group and top 50 ASX company with more than 5,000 employees. In December 2017 Tabcorp combined with Tatts Group. Tabcorp now operates the iconic brands TAB, Sky Racing, Sky Sports Radio, Tatts, NSW Lotteries, Golden Casket, SA Lotteries and Keno – familiar names which ignite excitement in millions of Australians.
