🏇A day at the races - critique. British horse racing has so much going for it. I've read a bunch of stories from afar this year and you would get the feeling the sport was on its knees. What I saw today at Ascot (admittedly an upper echelon place) really made me think. 🤔 Cons - The bars are infuriating! 😭 It was a pretty quiet day and I queued for nearly the entire time between two races to buy some drinks. And they did not have a single soft drink option beyond water at the bar I went to. If you aren't into racing, this would make you think twice about coming back - Zero family activities within sight or advertised. It's possible there were some but certainly none we ventured across. It's the summer holidays, parents are desperate for things to do. It's an open goal. 🥅 Pros - We have some wonderful stars of the sport, even on the quieter days. Oisin Murphy said hi to my daughter from the saddle twice. He didn't need to. But he did and it made her day. (Side fact - I arranged his first ever live interview with Sky Sports). 🎤 - People were having a lot of fun! Smiles all around. 😀 Overall, it was a lovely day, with a bit of work to do in certain areas. The answers are simple. 👍Deliver great service - make everyone feel special throughout the day. 🏆Provide an atmosphere that can be enjoyed by all - whether it's the PG crew or 18+ crowd. 💰Invest in promoting the sport! Given the supposed value of British horse racing to the UK economy (upwards of £4.1bn), it is negligent to allocate so little from within the sport to central marketing and promotion. British racing is a fantastic spectacle, so give some more resources to these teams...they do a sterling job on mouse-like crumbs. 🐀 Am I right? What am I missing? #horseracing #ascot #hospitality #marketing

Hello LinkedIn Family, My name is Amor Zayana, and I am a 13-year-old with a dream as big as a Formula 1 racetrack. While I may be young, my passion for motorsport is immense, and I am determined to zoom towards my goal of becoming a Formula 1 driver. Without the necessary funds to fuel my racing career, I’ve decided to take proactive steps towards my dream. My ideal career path looks like this: 1. Indoor Karting - where it all begins. 2. Brentwood Junior Championship (Outdoor 4 strokes rentals)- my current step. 3. Club 100 British Championship (2-Strokes Rental) - Starting this month🔥 4. Become a Rotax kart owner and win the British Championship 5. Run the CIK-FIA Championship to prove my skills on a bigger stage. Move up the ranks to F4, F3, and F2. The ultimate goal: F1 – because who doesn't dream of standing on that podium? Of course, if I’m ultra-lucky, maybe I’ll sign a deal with an F1 team early on, or perhaps win the lottery to fuel this path. 😊 How You Can Help: Connect with Me: Share advice, mentorship, or simply join my network to follow my journey.

Why do I know the method I described in my last Post works? (It suits on-course horse racing bookies) When I was a Manager of a Bookies in Perth, when Perth Racecourse had a meeting, the on course bookies would come to me in the morning, and they’d Bet Antepost (as a Punter… knowing they’d be Bookie later in the day) with me (the Bookie, they were my Punter). I’d have to phone the Raceroom to get their Bets authorised (they were quite big bets), it was never a problem (I’d tell our Raceroom, it’s the oncourse bookies - they knew what they were doing). They were not looking for the Winner of a Race, they were looking for a Horse they could Lay (later in the day, when they were bookie at the race track). Using the same method the on course Bookies used, and the method I described in my last Post. You can also be the Punter (look for horses that you can back antepost… in the morning of the race) in the morning. Then, using Betfair (half an hour before the race starts, the race betting market opens), you can be the Bookie, using Betfair (and Lay the Horse you backed that morning). So, you’re not looking for the Winner of a Horse Race (that’s a gamble normally), you’re just looking for a Horse that’s a big price antepost, that’s a lower price, when the betting market opens properly (like the old school bookies) about 30/20 minutes before the actual Race. (it’s why you hear on course bookies screaming before a race, they’re best price on a specific horse) Any Bookie, let’s you be the Punter. Only Betfair, allows you to be the Bookie (Lay a Bet). Its a method that you can keep an eye out for opportunities to use it… otherwise, betting on a Horse is a Gamble (it’s not how to Bet Properly, normally).

Our Club 51 / Latin GP group of companies is a sponsor of a number of rally races for this car driven by a world champion. We work closely with Formula 1 events and have a strong passion for racing as races are a strong metaphor for life and for business. They can be absolutely grueling and there is no room for laziness or for taking a break. Racing is truly an art form. Driving a purpose-built racing machine on a track has been described as playing chess strapped to a paint shaker, in a sauna. The sensation is one of transcendence where the human and the machine are both operating in harmony. A number of years ago, our group and our family has produced a number of racing television shows including Once Upon a Wheel with Paul Newman, who agreed to star in his first television program at the time, because my cousin David ended up buying six racing cars with him as part of that deal, becoming close friends and sharing in the passion for racing, entertainment production and philanthropy. Some of the best racers of the time including Al Unser, Jackie Oliver, Richard Petty, Stirling Moss, Mario Andretti, John Surtees and LeeRoy Yarbrough as well as a number of other celebrities including Kirk Douglas, Stephen Boyd, Dean Martin, Dick Smothers, Pancho Gonzales and a number of others starred in the program. We have a partnership with Formula 1 Brands on experiences created by Club 51 and our Latin GP group of companies. Join us at some of our events, with one of the most premier private member's business club in all of Latin America currently servicing over 400+ major families across Latin America and expanding globally delivering a premier members only business club with a Latin flavor. #assetmanagement #entertainment #racing #investmentmanagement #investmentbanking #privateequity #hedgefunds #ipos #formula1 #f1 #autoracing

As a result of the Supreme Court finding confirming its power to do so, Tasracing issued formal Show Cause Notices on Friday 12 April 2024 to racing industry participants named in the Murrihy Report. Tasracing CEO Andrew Jenkins said participants named in the Murrihy report who received Notices had until Thursday this week to provide submissions as to why subsequent Warning Off Notices should not proceed. “The Tasracing Board will convene on Friday to formally review any Show Cause submissions received,” he said. Further, the Racing Rules & Policy Committee yesterday (15 April) agreed to a revision of the Equity in Participation Policy (EIPP) for the harness Code effective immediately. Mr Jenkins said under the revised policy, except in specific circumstances, horses trained by a trainer or trainers at the same private training venue could not make up more than 50 per cent of starters in any race field, to a maximum of four runners. “Importantly, the policy will provide smaller trainers with the opportunity to consistently gain access to ratings-based handicap races,” he said. “The policy recognises the importance of providing all harness trainers with the opportunity to access races consistently and promotes enhanced competition in the harness racing Code in Tasmania.” The policy will not apply under the following circumstances: - Feature races with prizemoney greater than $30,000. - Heats of feature races that have a final with prizemoney greater than $30,000. - Races that are finals from heats. - 2 & 3 Year Old races.

🚀 Bouncing Back: Sales Lessons from the Racetrack 🏇 Having a passion for Horse Racing I often watch back previous races for several reasons, and I also follow Jockeys and Horses depending on if it’s flat or jumps season. One that stands out is champion Ryan Moore who is now regarded as one of , if not the best flat Jockey in the world currently, travelling all over the world as a man in demand. Throughout Moore’s career he has had falls, injuries and big loses however this hasn’t stopped him from ‘getting back on the horse’, he shakes himself off and gets ready for his next ride. The pressure on Moore’s shoulders every time he hops on a horse is unimaginable but his mental resilience to one, block out the pressure and focus on the job in hand and two continuing to show why he is recognised as one of the best riders. 🥇 This is what makes a Champion!   Here are some quick takeaways: 1.           Get Back Up: Rejections and setbacks are part of sales. The key is bouncing back quickly. 2.           Stay Focused: Keep your eyes on the prize, no matter what. 3.           Learn and Adapt: Use every stumble as a learning opportunity. 4.           Celebrate Small Wins: Every milestone counts, so celebrate them! Let’s channel that jockey's resilience in our sales game. It's not about how many times we fall, but how many times we get back up and keep pushing forward. #Sales #Resilience #KeepGoing #Inspiration #OrbisExchangeGroup #Champion Orbis Exchange Group 🗓 He is booked on 4 rides tomorrow, I wonder if he can do a 4 timer? Pressure is on! ⬇ The below is Ryan winning on 'Bedtime Story' for one of the best trainers in the world, with odds being at 1/16 a lot was at stake.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐲 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞? 🐴 This is a common question in my field, so I created a graphic to illustrate the typical timeline. The chart represents a yearling's potential progress through 18 months of training: • 𝐑𝐞𝐝: Early stakes winners racing in their first year. • 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞: Yearlings with enough ability to race early in their career. • 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧: Late-developing 2-year-olds who race towards the end of the season. • 𝐎𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞: Horses needing more time to develop, often racing as 3-year-olds. Additionally, I drew a line on the graphic to represent the ability to race. This indicates when a horse is competitive enough to contend for a win. While anyone can enter a horse in a race, it doesn't mean the horse will be competitive. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 📊 Depending on your horse's physical and mental development, and its abilities, it could start racing anywhere from 6 to 18 months after training begins, or even later for some. Injuries during training can also delay a yearling's racing debut. You'll notice two patterns in the chart: "early" and "late" horses, which reflect the general expectations based on professional assessments. Yearling training programs typically start between January to June, beginning with the breaking-in process. If we drew a median on the graphic, 12 months would be the average time for a yearling to become race-ready. Training methods also influence timelines. For instance, Golden Slipper winner Shinzo and Lady of Camelot both won their first trials around 6-7 months into training. However, Shinzo didn't race until the end of January, whereas Lady of Camelot raced just 15 days after her first trial. This demonstrates the conservative approach of Chris Waller compared to the more precocious method of Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞 ✅ Therefore, when purchasing a yearling, it's crucial to understand the type of horse you're acquiring and the trainer's approach. If your goal is to win the Golden Slipper, investing in a 3-year-old type of horse wouldn't align with your ambitions. Over time, the performance gap between early and late developers narrows, as all horses eventually reach their peak. Australia boasts the highest number of stakes races for 2-year-olds, with 71 such events annually. If you're considering investing in a yearling this year, send me a DM, and I'll be happy to assist. 📩 You can also view our available yearlings here: https://lnkd.in/gaRv2c8X *𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳, 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘢 𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦'𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘴𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘴.

From my latest newsletter: Is saving the horse racing tradition a worthy investment? "Horse racing is as much a part of the fabric of Maryland as country music is to Tennessee or the auto industry is to Michigan. It supports thousands of jobs, horse farms preserve open space, and once a year the state and city of Baltimore get to show off their horse racing history on national television with the Preakness Stakes."

Last week's 150th running of the Kentucky Derby had us all on the edge of our seats, with Mystik Dan's breathtaking victory stealing the spotlight and captivating the horse racing world. As expected, social media was buzzing with discussions after that thrilling photo finish, but amidst the excitement, one key element often gets overlooked – the jockeys. Despite hundreds of thousands of posts flooding social media about the Kentucky Derby, only a mere 9,348 mentioned the race's jockeys. While this isn't insignificant and could hold some marketability value, it's surprising how little attention jockeys receive compared to athletes in other sports during their big moments. There's a real opportunity for jockeys to enhance their marketability. Consider this: the horse racing industry is projected to reach a staggering $812.48 billion market size by 2030. With jockeys' unique blend of skills – from understanding horse behavior and psychology, to their athleticism, and the vast resources available in such a large industry, the potential for them to build personal brands is truly fascinating. Even in their current position, jockeys could offer value to brands and potentially provide a significant return on investment as the sport continues to grow. However, any sponsorship arrangement must make sense for both parties, ensuring that the brand's audience aligns with the jockey's fan base. As we celebrate Mystik Dan's victory and the enduring outcome of the 150th Kentucky Derby, it's crucial to highlight these discussions and potential opportunities. With the Preakness Stakes on May 18th marking the next leg of the Triple Crown, all eyes will once again be on Mystik Dan and jockey Brian Hernandez Jr, presenting another chance to make waves in the world of horse racing. #KentuckyDerby #HorseRacing #Marketability #sportsbiz
