Just aslong as he doesn't go to Godolphin, i don't really care.

It is becoming very annoying and boring now, though. When people begin to buy what they see as competition it stops being a sport, and that is exactly what is happening in England and Ireland right now.

Fans are leaving the sport, prize money is way down, less people are watching on the TV. Now, i'm not for one minute saying the sheikhs are to blame, but they are certainly not helping things over here by doing this mass buying

Prince buys 2008 UAE Derby hope Cat

Marcelo Sarachi

Argentine stakes winner Sentimiento Cat, a highly regarded three-year-old colt, has been purchased by Emmanuel de Seroux of California-based Narvick International on behalf of prominent Saudi Arabian owner Prince Sultan bin Mohammed bin Saud al Kabeer.

The son of Argentine leading freshman sire Easing Along was an impressive winner of the Clasico Julio Penna on debut before finishing second to Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum’s new purchase Mach Glory in the Gran Premio Carreras de las Estrellas Juvenile (Arg-G1) on turf at San Isidro on June 30.

Sentimiento Cat will be aimed at major races for three-year-olds in Dubai, including the 2008 UAE Derby on March 29 at Nad al Sheba racecourse.

Meanwhile, Magic Sale, a full sister to the Prince’s 2006 UAE 2,000 Guineas winner Gold for Sale, remained undefeated with a victory in Hipodromo La Plata’s Gran Premio Seleccion de Potrancas, that track’s equivalent of the Oaks, on Sunday in Buenos Aires.

Ford takes up NZ challenge
Warwick Barr
Monday, 24 September 2007

Royal Ascot winning jockey Jay Ford will base himself in New Zealand until some normality is restored to Sydney racing.

Ford will leave for New Zealand on Thursday and has already picked up rides at a meeting there on Saturday. “I’m not too sure how long I will be going for,” the rider of international sprinter Takeover Target said. “It could be indefinite until we see what is happening with racing in Sydney.”

Ford, pictured, who has travelled the globe with Takeover Target, said he was looking forward to the challenge of riding in New Zealand for the first time. “Basically I’m treating the trip as a working holiday but it should be good experience.

“My manager [Bryan Haskins] has spoken to a few trainers and I’m hoping to ride some trackwork over there so there are a lot of positives about going over.

“Here it is getting to the stage where I have just been sitting around with nothing to do and waiting so it will be good to get back into the swing of things.”
