    SATURDAY, 3 AUGUST 2019 THREE KING GEORGE DUKE OF HAZZARD TAKES THOROUGHBRED S. TITLES FOR BATTAASH Finding some progression of late, Fitri Hay=s Duke of Hazzard (Fr) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) emerged from a roughhouse renewal of Goodwood=s G3 Bonhams Thoroughbred S. with a career-best to justify 3-1 favouritism. Last seen beating Momkin (Ire) (Bated Breath {GB}) in the Listed Sir Henry Cecil S. over this mile trip at Newmarket on July 11, the bay was reserved early by PJ McDonald and despite being stopped in his run passing the two- furlong marker regained momentum to reel in Turjomaan (War Front) inside the last 100 yards for a half-length success. AHe was the horse I was most looking forward to riding this week, but it was not a nice race to ride in at all,@ the in-form jockey said. AThe pace was very slow and in the middle part of the straight it got tight, but I was lucky I was travelling well and things have been falling right for me this week.@ Cont. p4 Battaash and Jim Crowley prior to the King George | racingfotos.com IN TDN AMERICA TODAY WHITNEY REMEMBERED AT HOF INDUCTION By Tom Frary On the eve of the running of the Grade I race that bears her name, Keeping it simple despite all the pressure before Friday=s the late Marylou Whitney was inducted into the American Racing G2 King George Qatar S., Jim Crowley steered Battaash (Ire) Hall of Fame Friday in her hometown of Saratoga Springs, New York.

  • California Racing History June 27, 1933 Voters Approved Proposition 5, Legalizing Pari-Mutuel Wagering on Horse Racing. Septembe
    California Racing History June 27, 1933 Voters approved Proposition 5, legalizing pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing. September 1933 Fairplex Park was the first track in Southern California to offer pari-mutuel wagering once law was passed. November 3, 1934 It took 209 days to build Bay Meadows. With 15,000 fans in attendance, the 8 races handled $117,753 with only Win, Place and Show betting. December 25, 1934 Santa Anita opens. 1934-1935 Photo finish cameras were put into operation at Santa Anita for the first time at any Thoroughbred track. July 3, 1937 Del Mar opens its gates for the first time and Bing Crosby is there to greet a crowd of more than 15,000. Twenty-two days of racing are presented that first season “where the turf meets the surf.” June 10, 1938 The Hollywood Turf Club was formed under Chairmanship of Jack L. Warner. August 12, 1938 Seabiscuit, with "Iceman" George Woolf aboard, outduels Ligaroti, ridden by Spec Richardson, to win their historic $25,000 match race before 20,000 at the track and a nationwide radio audience. Sporting types note the race put Del Mar “on the map.” 1939 Clay Puett invented the electric, all enclosed starting gate, which was used in America for the first time at Bay Meadows. 1940 Daily double wagering, which required new betting equipment and a new tote board, was introduced for the first time at Bay Meadows. February 1, 1941 Golden Gate Fields finally opens its oft-delayed inaugural meeting in rainy and muddy conditions. Shookumchuck, a horse bred by Bing Crosby, wins the first race under apprentice Eddie Franklin.
