MRA

The MRA Cup, started in 1988, will this year be run on Sunday 24 August, 2014. Initiated by the Malayan Racing Association, this year will be the 26th cup since Colonial Chief won it.

infinitybet have Fixed Odds available for all Singapore Horse Racing events.

This year, the Singapore Turf Club will host a prize of S$300, 000. The race will be run at Kranji, a terrific venue andthe onlyhorse-racing track in Singapore. It also plays host to prestigious races such as the Singapore Airlines International Cup and KrisFlyer International Sprint,Longines Singapore Gold Cup, Emirates Singapore Derby, Lion City Cup, and the Raffles Cup. Not only that, the high-class club is equipped with the most modern state-of-the-art training and veterinary facilities.

It is 100 acres wide, and can boast has treadmills, a swimming pool, horse walkers, and seven tracks of turf and sand. It is one of four clubs regulated by the Malayan Racing Association. The others are the Selangor Turf Club, Penang Turf Club, and the Perak Turf Club; all located in Singapore’s neighbor, Malaysia. Its first race was on 1843.

The MRA Cup has had a very colorful history. In 1988, Colonial Chief led a team to the Hong Kong Invitation Cup at 1800m. In 1989, COLONIAL CHIEFran third, but won the MRA Cup again the following year. In later years, many trainers have won and cast their name in the history of the cup. TehChoonBeng was victorious in 1991. Malcolm Thwaites made a name for himself when he won in 1992. In 1993 Teh’s JINGLE BELL V won, with the runner-ups also his stable mates: Sam Subian’s COURTLINE JESTER and SY Leong’s THE SUNTAN. This was a very good year for the owners, Auric Stable. In 1997, Charles Leck sent FLINT ZEST out to victory at 1400m and again in the next year when he triumphed with EAGLE’S LANDING. Back in the year 2000, Darryl Bradley’s HIGH WIRE and Garry Skinner’s THE BIG BOPPER went past the post together and it was the very first dead-heat in this classic local circuit race.

For this year, it would seem that last year’s winner GOOD BABY will likely triumph again, with CIZEN WORLD and HOT BUTTERFLY very close to not making GOOD BABY’s goal be achieved. ROCKET MASTER, GOOD SIGHT, and LIBERATION SPIRIT would also be top contenders. GOOD BABY is a very good pick by the Golden Knight Stable and this gelding will sure bring another MRA Cup to its name.

infinitybet have a wide range of Racing options and bet types available. Prices correct at time of publishing.

Remember, these are just for the Royal Enclosure and the Grandstand. The Silver Ring, where we peasants hang out, without access to the paddock or walking ring, is much less stringent about what to wear; although even there, some like to get 'all duded up' in their best anyway.

Did I mention the Galway racing festival. Everyone goes or believes that they went!

The Galway racing festival in Ireland has been running successfully for many years now.Everybody attends; at least they cannot remember not attending.

Oh, the grandeur of Royal Ascot. It's more than high style, pomp & circumstance. It's tradition that has not outworn its welcome. It's a coming out party for man & beast. No one complains & everyone gets in the spirit of it all. Even the horses have a twinkle in their eye.

“No matter what anyone says the Derby is the total test,” O’Brien said. “It is the total test of speed, stamina and tactics run over an undulating course. It is the ultimate test, our Olympics and what the breed is all about."

What the breed is all about!!....I agree!!!!

re: Having fun traveling with your horse

Pedigree Ann — Fri, 16 May 2014 10:35:48 GMT

US horses have to race without Lasix and Bute overseas and since our form is dependent on them having these, it is no surprise to see that form upset. AW surfaces put a premium on stamina, which grass does, too; most US older horses spend their careers running 9f most of the time and not getting the conditioning needed for a stiffer 10f thereby.

re: Worldwide racing festivals? Fravel says BC was first

Pedigree Ann — Sat, 10 May 2014 13:04:37 GMT

I see you have omitted South America. Maybe because they have been running one- and two-day festivals for longer than the US has? On the day (or weekend) of a great wfa like the Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini or the Grande Premio Brasil since at least the 1970s, if not before, a G1 race for milers and a G1 race for sprinters as well. A G1 filly & mare race has been added since then; previously, the mares ran with guys (and many still do). These are all 'Internacionales', that attract top horses from other racing countries of the continent.

And what is Royal Ascot, especially in its previous 4-day format, but a supreme festival? Races for all sorts of horses, stayers and sprinters, young and older - top races for all levels, including the handicappers. There is a reason the Aussie sprinters started running at Royal Ascot 15 years ago - it is the place where you prove you are world class.

Sorry, Breeders' Cup. A World Championship you are not. Too many unnecessary races, like the 2yo turf races, and dividing the Turf and Sprint into male and female versions (the ladies did fine against the guys, so why change it?).

Let's not forget the pioneers of international racing; the Washington D.C. and the Canadian International Championship at Woodbine where Secretariat and Dahlia performed.

Has Robert left UPI to be on staff for BloodHorse? Would love to see him have a similar "Weekend Racing Preview around the world" as he did for so long with UPI. I was disappointed recently that his regular weekly weekend preview racing columns were no longer appearing at UPI. His was the only comprehensive racing coverage all over the world, written in a nice, easy to follow style. Hope he will be able to continue his coverage world-wide.

secretariat7273 — Thu, 08 May 2014 06:30:42 GMT

I agree with Gulchfan. The producers, directors or whoever seem to think they are adding something to the viewing of a horse race by showing it from different camera angles, but it just takes away from it when it causes a person to lose track of the horses that are of interest to them.

Gulchfan — Thu, 08 May 2014 00:03:42 GMT

I love the blimp shots, but not until AFTER the race, for analysis, not cutting back and forth during the race

during the Derby, no sooner could you get your bearings on their unusual camera angles, then, boom, they'd switch to another, and you'd have to start over
