A couple of guys said I should think about the race in Dubai & they might be right. He'd be up running in the first three & they don't seem to be able to run them down over there.”

Asian Conference 1: Global Racing TV Channel

The vision of a global TV racing channel, operating 24-hours-a-day & 365-days-a-year "and supporting a weekly pool bet that could draw a €350 million (A$665m) jackpot, was raised at the Asian Racing Conference" yesterday, reported racingpost.co.uk. But it came with a warning from John Stuart, international marketing & operations director for Racing UK's South African-based partner Phumelela, that it was "time to stop talking & start taking action". Stuart "wrong-footied more than a few delegates" by introducing a video of "the launch on RTV of the Universal, a world-wide pool bet in which punters would be asked to name the 1st 8 in a major race, beginning with the 2012 Japan Cup"; while "the detail might have been fanciful (Japan is unlikely to have legislation to allow co-mingled betting for many years) but Stuart's intent is serious". He declared: "Horseracing tote betting revenue is not only losing market share to other betting types, but is actually declining in terms of general global revenue. If the sport does not do something dramatic, racing could be reduced to a small number of tracks in a small number of countries." Noting that attempts to create a global bet had involved "several years' debate but no outcome", Stuart warned: "We can't be discussing this in 10 years, 5 years or even 1 year. We've got to stop talking about it, get a handful of guys who can thrash it out round a table & get it done." Stuart emphasised "putting together global exchange of racing & its associated betting would require a change of mindset, from being product-focussed to customer-focussed" & added: "Research among punters has shown the need for more races, staged more often & with bigger pools. The only viable answer is to make better use of the racing we already have, wherever in the world it comes from." Stuart outlined 10 key factors for achieving his vision, ending with the most important: "An overall shift of attitude to one of openness & collaboration, which encompasses the need to stop focussing on the walls that divide us & start embracing the technology that potentially unites us." Stuart concluded the global horseracing & betting industry was at "a defining cross-roads" & summed up: "We have a simple choice: either the low road - small centres of excellence, but with gradual loss of global market share - or the high road - a world of vibrant & dynamic domestic racing jurisdictions working together, connected with a sharing in the proceeds of a global tote betting industry." Urging racing authority delegates to "plant the seed," Stuart asked: "Together we have the products, the understanding, the viable working model & the technology, but do we have the will to make it happen?" Brendan Parnell from Australia's Tabcorp commented: "We need to bite the bullet & swallow some pride on what the right bet-type should be & take a step away from local issues."

US Breeders' Cup Invite To Sniper's Bullet

Trainer Tracey Bartley revealed 3YO gelding Sniper's Bullet (Bite The Bullet-Yallah Terrace, by Yallah Prince) "has been recognised on the global stage by the organisers of the world's richest race day," reported racenet.com.au. Following the victory by Sniper's Bullet over older rivals in last month's Gr1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm, owners Nerida & Roger Atkinson "received an invitation to contest the US Gr1 Breeders' Cup Mile later this year", though Bartley noted: "Where it sits now regarding costs & other things, I'm not too sure." The US$2 million GFr1 Breeders Cup Mile is run on turf & this year "will be hosted by Monmouth Park in New Jersey on October 27" (less than 24 hours after the Gr1 Cox Plate meeting at Moonee Valley in Melbourne). Sniper's Bullet has been nominated for the Cox Plate, but Bartley "prefers the Gr1 Emirates Stakes (1600m) on the final day of the VRC carnival". The trainer "indicated a final decision on accepting a Breeders Cup invitation would be left to the Atkinsons", but summed up: "It's an honour to receive an invitation, but I think the right thing would be not too look at this year. Next year would be his go." Sniper's Bullet (for whom a reported offer of $1 million from Hong Kong was turned down earlier this year) boasts 6 wins & 4 placings (including March's Gr1 Royal Randwick Guineas over 1600m & February's Gr2 Royal Sovereign Stakes over 1200m) from 11 starts for $930,350 earnings.
