With the racing world dealt a blow last week with two of the best sprinters in the racing world (Big brown and Zarkava) being retired to stud trainer of New Approach shocked everyone by announcing his super horse would be doing the same thing by retiring to stud and I as well as many racing fans seem to be getting tired of seeing these great horses retired so early just to line the owners pockets with wads of cash from their offspring which I think will start to damage the sport long term if this carries on being the trend of classic winners.

The race itself was perfect for New Approach and he never really had any trouble from any of his rivals and was one of the easiest champion races I have ever witnessed on English soil and due to the thinking of his owner and trainer we will never see the wonderful horse again flying towards the winning post.

Jim Bolger later doubled up on his daily winnings when his outsider Intense Focus who was 20-1 with a lot of the bookmakers won him the Darley Dewhurst stakes for the third consecutive year but not without one hell of a battle to the finish line, he Intense Focus showed ferocious guts and determination to win a thrilling battle in a three-way photo finish with Lord Shanakill and Finjaan making it a great day for the trainer.

Incidentally Intense Focus has now been marked up at 14-1 for the 2000 Guineas which could be worth looking at now even with months before the race.

betus.com  – This week the horse racing world has been left pretty shocked at the sudden retirement of possibly the best ever American sprinter ever in Big Brown who after a training gallop accident has been retired straight away.

During a routine 6 furlong gallop at his home on the turf course at Aqueduct in Jamaica, N.Y big Brown suffered a freak injury when the brilliant 3 year old colt tore about a 3-inch piece of flesh off the foot after it collided with his right-rear foot, and this type of injury would normally take around 3-5 months to completely heal so Big Browns trainer Rick Dutrow jr made the immediate decision to end his racing career after he would miss $5 million dollar Breeders club classic on October 25th and when he has healed start his studding career where I am sure his off spring will fetch millions of dollars each.

Another horse that I must say I am surprised has been retired especially after she was touted as being the best ever filly to ever race is Zarkava who just eight days after becoming the first filly since 1993 to win the prestigious Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe was retired on Monday with the horses connections deciding to retire the horse even though it is in good health but they have said they can make more money from the horse through breeding rather than racing which is becoming much the norm nowadays but if you ask me is damaging the sport in general.

Lewis Hamilton’s lead at the top of the Championship table was cut to 5 points after the British driver could only finish in 12th place and out of the points in the Japanese leg of the F1 calendar.
Starting in pole position and at a course he won at last year all his fans were left thinking he could take one big giant step to the title with a good finish here but how wrong could they have been.

Hamilton got off the grid in a sluggish fashion and was immediately given a drive through penalty after forcing reigning champion Raikkonen off at the first bend dropping the Ferrari down to seventh place in the process, all this was after the Icelandic driver was poised to take the lead after a lightning start, his closest rival for the championship Massa was also given a drive through penalty when he tried to dive down the inside on Hamilton (who-else!) on Lap 2 in a battle for 5th position only to temporarily lose it and hit the McLaren causing Hamilton to spin and lose even more ground, the stewards said that the Brazilian driver caused an avoidable collision and issued him the same penalty as Hamilton the previous lap ultimately costing both drivers any chance of a win.

Alonso remarkably won his 2nd Grand prix in succession in a car that he himself said would have no chance of winning in this season, Polish driver Kubica finished 2nd with Raikkonen completing the podium.

One thing that has come out of this weekend though is with only two races left there are 3 possible winners of the championship (Hamilton, Massa, Kubica) which should make it a nerve wracking finish for all their fans.

Thoroughbred contests are by far the most popular form of the sport ,which has developed many facets, including trotting harness racing that is very popular in northern continental Europe.

Modern racing, that is to say how we know it now, first came to light in the 12th century as English Knights returned from the crusades with faster Arab horses than their British counterparts. These imported Stallions where bred with native mares to produce animals that had both speed and stamina. The knights and nobility of the time would then match these in private wagers and horse racing was born.

The sport became professional during the 1700′s when the previous match races became the more familiar spectacle of multiple animals contests allowing for more betting opportunities. Racing expanding quickly and it wasn’t long before there were racecourses up and down the country and with big money races soon emerging.

Interestingly Horse racing has become the second most widely attended U.S. spectator sport, after their national game of baseball.

The picture for next season’s 1000 guineas may have become a bit clearer after ante-post favourite Rainbow View’s impressive looking victory in the Meon Valley Stud Fillies’ Mile at Ascot.

The John Gosden filly had to be produced off the bridle for the first time in her career to take the race after a strong initial challenge from Fanstasia, who would eventually finish over two lengths behind. It’s always interesting to see how a horse reacts to this the first time and after being a little confused at first the champion in waiting took to her work well to race clear to victory.

The two-year-old’s case was further strengthened for next year’s Newmarket classic when Minor Vamp took the Goffs Fillies Million at the Curragh. Richard Hannon’s charge was an emphatic winner of the Irish event having previously been beaten in excess of six lengths by the brilliant Gosden filly at Newmarket in the Sweet Solara back in August.

As a result of those events Rainbow View is around 7/4 to be the Queen of the Rowley Mile next term with Fantasia is available at around 12/1.

While the girls were taking centre stage there was a bit of movement in the 2000 Guineas market as well with Richard Hannon’s Group One hopeful, Soul City, getting his price clipped to 25/1 from 33/1.
