Day’s best ROYAL SURPRISE

USA owners fasten their faith in Argentina & Germany.

WASHINGTON -- The image painted was not a pleasant one as the 78-year-old owner of thoroughbred racing's top horse pleaded before Congress to save his sport.

"We're looking for Arnold Schwarzenegger's upper body and then we go to Don Knotts' legs and knees," said Jess Jackson, owner of 2007 Horse of the Year Curlin. "We don't need all of the inbreeding we have. I go to Argentina to buy horses; I go to Germany to buy horses because they have stronger bones and better knees. We need a league and a commissioner. We need action, please. Congress, help."

Bloodlines, steroids, the lack of an authoritative governing body, alarming figures on horse deaths and a breech of protocol by Big Brown's trainer were all topics of discussion Thursday before the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection. The hearing was called after Eight Belles broke down at the Kentucky Derby last month and was euthanized on the track.

There was widespread agreement among the witnesses regarding many of the industry's ills: steroids, breakdowns on the track and weaker bloodlines that produce horses that can race far fewer times than their counterparts decades ago.

Consensus on addressing these problems was another matter. That was hardly surprising considering the sport is essentially run by 38 sets of rules -- one for each state in which racing takes place.

"We are a rudderless ship," longtime breeder Arthur Hancock said. "And the way we're going, we will all end up on the rocks."

Added ESPN analyst Randy Moss: "Imagine if the NFL were set up to permit each state to field as many pro teams as it wanted, play as many games as it wanted all year long and set its own individual football rules ... Horse racing has been set up in this fashion."

Some asked Congress to intervene. Some, including Jockey Club president Alan Marzelli, favored the establishment of a national governing body, but one led by the industry and not by the government. Alex Waldrop, president of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, advocated the status quo because of what he called "great strides" made recently.

"The last thing this industry needs is another layer of bureaucracy," Waldrop said. "A 'Department of Horse-land Security' funded by yet another tax on our long-suffering customers is not what we need."

Rep. Ed Whitfield of Kentucky noted that Congress has leverage to influence the sport because of the Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978, which grants simulcasting rights that now account for much of the industry's profits. A law could be passed, for example, that withholds simulcast money from states that don't adhere to federally mandated guidelines.

"Mr. Waldrop has the very best intentions, but he does not have the authority to do anything," Whitfield said. "I think that we are going to be looking at some legislation to deal with this."

New surveys, including one by The Associated Press, found thousands of racing-related horse deaths in recent years. Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois said Eight Belles was a "genetic disaster waiting to happen," a point she made by displaying a chart of what she called the horse's "fragile bloodline."

Many witnesses offered scathing opinions on the proliferation of medications given to horses. California Horse Racing Board chairman Richard Shapiro said the sport now has "twice the vets and half the horses."

"Over the last 40 years we have traded the time-tested regimen of hay, oats and water for a virtual pharmacopoeia," Shapiro said.

Marzelli offered hope by pointing out that its safety panel two days ago called for a sweeping ban on anabolic steroids. He expects all horse racing states to adopt the ban.

"We are confident that 2008 will be the last year in which anabolic steroids will be permitted in our sport during training and racing," Marzelli said.

That would clearly influence the methods used by the trainer of Big Brown, the Triple Crown favorite that finished a stunning last place in the Belmont Stakes on June 7.

Rick Dutrow Jr., who gave a legal steroid to Big Brown through April, was expected tell Congress his side of the story in person, but he was a no-show. Dutrow on Wednesday told the AP he was too ill to attend, but he remained on the witness list -- there was even a symbolic name card for him at the table -- because he apparently failed to tell those in charge.

Dutrow did provide a statement in which he discussed his checkered record, including his use of anabolic steroids on horses.

"My observation is that it helps the horses eat better," the statement said. "Their coats brighten. They're more alert. It helps them train."

Dutrow added that "if steroids are banned in the United States, we'll stop using them."

Whether that -- and other reforms -- can happen without Congress' intervention remained an open question.

"We always say we can do it ourselves," Jackson said. "But we are experts at delay. We never get it done."

The last thing this industry needs is another layer of bureaucracy. A 'Department of Horse-land Security' funded by yet another tax on our long-suffering customers is not what we need.

Race 3
7. WORLD IS TOOMUCH An impressive 2nd to Live It Up in his last effort. If Live It Up is favoured to win the 5th race in higher company, why can't this half brother to Immense (2nd to Sun Kingdom in the Colts trial) win this race?

Race 4
1. MYSTIC ENCHANTRESS M/S Wadiyar's are lucky enough to have this filly racing in the bottom most class. Good numbers over a route.  But Mile?
2. ASPIRING SEVEN A fine performer of his last start. Running over a mile with 6.5 kgs penalty.

6. BOSTON RANGER A failed favourite in his last effort. Ignore this run. Could have done much better.

Good luck.  

Becket’s post-mortem

Now the expert professionals say that Becket should have run like this and not like that. Even Mallaya’s first Jockey Sampson had opted to ride Spearhead ignoring Arabian Prince and none of the reporters or the connections had advised him or had corrected him to choose the right one. After Prince winning the Maharaja, some of the write-up had gone up to the extent of Prince’s running in Hyderabad.
    This is not the first time these things happen. It will happen again and again giving rise to speculations. Silent BEFORE, loud mouthed AFTER has become a habit of many in horse racing.

Becket will bucket the Maharaja's throne.

Race 9
6. ALPHA BABY Would have beaten the winner Dream Park in her last encounter, but for a slipped saddle. Should be given another chance.
1. FLAMING LAMBORGINI Switching distances. Can trouble the best.
2. DREAM PARK An impressive winner. Penalty may go against.

Good luck.

Frivolous objection by C(heat) Alford.

Christopher Alford after losing on 3 Don Diego in the 2nd race claims that he was bumped 5 times by the winner 7 Scionic(Amyn Merchant) at 250 metres and after 200 metres.
The fact is C.Alford who was hugging the rails all along the straight shifted outwards on to Scionic, thereby causing the bump, but objects that he was bumped 5 times. Did anybody see bumping 5 times?
C.Alford on more than one occasion had caused trouble in Bangalore causing commotion in the Bangalore race course. A champion Kolkatta jockey creating nuisance in Bangalore.

Bangalore 3rd July 2010.

All races have been restricted to not more than 1400 metres today.
