EquiLottery Enters Licensing Agreement With NBA

EquiLottery Games, the leading live sports lottery game developer, announced today that it reached an agreement with the National Basketball Association (NBA) that will see EquiLottery launch a new, officially-licensed lottery draw game based on the outcomes of NBA games. Using the marks and logos of the NBA and its teams, EquiLottery Games will create a lottery game, Slam Dunk Dollar$, that is scheduled to run throughout the next NBA season. The NBA lottery game will complement the other team sport games that EquiLottery Games is offering.

Based on the patented game platform developed by EquiLottery Games, Slam Dunk Dollar$ will be created in the same format as the company's other team sports games. Players purchase a quick-pick ticket that features 10 pre-selected NBA games. Winning tickets match anywhere from 7 out of 10 winning teams to 10 out of 10 winners, with four prize tiers and overall odds of just 6 to 1. Earlier this year, EquiLottery Games announced that the system powering these games has been completed; lotteries will now be able to implement the NBA-themed game.

“We are proud to welcome the NBA into the EquiLottery Games family of live lottery sports games,” said Brad Cummings, Founder and CEO. “Combined with our other league partners, the NBA relationship allows us to offer year-round games to U.S. lotteries based on popular team sports under the same game format.”

“The EquiLottery Games product is an innovative new offering in the lottery space and offers our fans yet another way to engage with NBA games,” said the NBA's Senior Vice President of Fantasy & Gaming, Scott Kaufman-Ross. “We are excited to bring this new product to market as this new gaming category emerges.”

Central Banker Leads McMahon Of Saratoga’s 2021 Stallion Roster

McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., revealed the advertised fees for its 2021 stallion roster, led by fast-rising sire Central Banker.

“Anne and I purchased our Fitch Road farm 50 years ago this March,” said farm owner Joe McMahon. “We feel fortunate that we have been well supported by the New York breeding community all of those years. Recent months have been very hard for everyone involved in racing and breeding, and we are reducing the fees for our stallions for the 2021 breeding season to reflect the challenges brought on by 2020.”

Central Banker, a Grade 2-winning son of Speightstown, will stand the upcoming season for an advertised fee of $6,000. His runners are led by multiple stakes winner and graded stakes-placed Bankit, whose earnings are now in excess of $700,000, and multiple stakes winner Newly Minted.

Central Banker covered 114 mares in 2020, and he currently sits second on New York's general sire list by progeny earnings this season, with $1,878,786.

Solomini, a Grade 1-placed son of Curlin, will stand for $5,000. He stood his first season in 2020, and he covered 123 mares, the most of any New York stallion.

Rounding out the roster is Redesdale, a son of Speightstown whose first foals are weanlings of 2020. He'll stand for $3,000 in 2021 after covering 66 mares in 2020, and 81 mares in his inaugural season a year earlier.

“We feel confident that the New York breeding program remains the strongest of its kind in the world, and our goal is to offer the best valued and most attractive stallions outside of Kentucky,” McMahon said. “We hope these reduced fees help New York breeders through this difficult time, and we look forward to working with our breeders in the coming months.”

Following are the advertised 2021 fees for the McMahon of Saratoga stallion roster:

Central Banker – $6,000
Redesdale – $3,000
Solomini – $5,000

English King Wildcard for Tattersalls Autumn HIT Sale

English King (Fr) (Camelot {GB}), a listed winner and rated 118 by Timeform, has been entered in the Tattersalls Autumn Horses-in-Training Sale as a wildcard. Favoured in the G1 Investec Derby, the Bjorn Nielsen runner was fifth that day, and added a fourth in the G3 Gordon S. in July. Bred by Ecurie des Monceaux et al, English King was most recently sixth in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris at ParisLongchamp on Sept. 13. Consigned by Ed Walker Racing, he sells as lot 1153A.

“I genuinely believe English King is the best horse I have ever trained and I will be very sorry to see him sold,” said Walker. “He is an outstanding prospect for the future having only raced six times and has all the credentials to attract potential buyers from throughout the world. He is a horse who loves fast ground and like all top-class horses has the ability to quicken off a fast pace as demonstrated in the Derby where he had the fastest final three furlongs of all.”

Out of the winning Platonic (GB) (Zafonic), the €210,000 Arqana October yearling is a half-brother to GSW Pacifique (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) and to French Listed winner Prudenzia (Ire) (Dansili {GB}). The latter is the dam of Group 1 winner Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Irish highweight and G1 Irish Oaks heroine Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}). The sale begins at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 26 and lasts until Oct. 29.
