Irish Raid Samples Test Negative For Prohibited Substances

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board confirmed on Tuesday that the hair and blood samples taken from Thoroughbreds at the County Kildare yard raided by Department of Agriculture Food & Marine (DAFM) two weeks ago all tested negative for substances classified as “prohibited at all times.”

“As this is part of an ongoing investigation working in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and other agencies, we cannot make any further comment at this time,” the IHRB's statement concluded.

According to racingpost.com, that yard was the operation of equine therapist John Warwick, and the DAFM confiscated from him animal medications not licensed for use in Ireland.

There are reported to have been four Thoroughbreds tested at the yard. Two arrived at the yard during the raid with trainer Liam Burke; one of those, Samos Island, was in that day at Fairyhouse but was withdrawn by the IHRB. Another arriving during the raid is trained by Ted Walsh, who said the horse had a tendon injury to be scanned. Jessica Harrington trains the last, which she said was to be receiving non-medical laser treatments on a tendon.

American Pastime To Stand At Swifty Farms In Indiana For 2022

Graded stakes-placed American Pastime (Tapizar – Ryan's Inheritance, by Valid Expectations) joins the stallion roster at Swifty Farms in Seymour, Ind., for the 2022 breeding season. The sprinter will stand for $1,500 stands and nurses.

Finishing second to multiple Grade 1-winning Coal Front in the Grade 3 Gallant Bob Stakes at Parx Racing in 2017, American Pastime also finished a strong fourth in the TwinSpires Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar, close behind Roy H, Imperial Hint and Mind Your Biscuits but beating multiple graded stakes winners Drefong and Whitmore.

“His speed was fantastic on the track; he was an extremely fast horse,” says owner Mike Mowrey. “His Beyer numbers early in his three-year-old year were phenomenal—with zeroes and ones on ThoroughGraph—which is why he fit into the sprinter mold.”

Mowrey notes that he and trainer Bob Hess, Jr., discussed trying the colt at a mile, but he suffered a bruised foot at the Breeders' Cup, which made it difficult for him to return to racing at 100 percent effort.

“His best attribute is his speed, but his personality is unparalleled to any horse I've ever owned,” says Mowrey. “He's a very smart horse—he's calm, cool and collected, but when he got on the track, he meant business. If he passes on his speed and his personality, I think his foals will be pretty precocious.”

Mowrey chose Swifty Farms for the colt's first full breeding season because of the many opportunities the farm and the state of Indiana presents for stallion owners.

“With the breeding program they have in Indiana and the sire awards, it was very attractive,” he says. “The location of Swifty, with the proximity to Kentucky and surrounding states, was perfect. And the cherry on top was Swifty's addition of (stallion manager) Jerri Harmon. I just felt that he will be in a good place, and if you're in a good place, good things happen. That's why I wanted to give him that opportunity.”

“We think the addition of American Pastime to our roster will expand the offerings Swifty Farms has, as well as bring a new set of bloodlines to the state,” says Harmon. “He's settled in quite well and we're looking forward to seeing what his breeding season brings us.”

Graded stakes-placed American Pastime (Tapizar–Ryan's Inheritance, by Valid Expectations) will stand the 2022 breeding season at Swifty Farms in Seymour, IN, commanding a fee of $1,500 LFSN.

A 'TDN Rising Star', the speedy Bob Hess, Jr. trainee won three of his first five starts before finishing second in the 2017 GIII Gallant Bob S. He was fourth next out in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint.

“His best attribute is his speed, but his personality is unparalleled to any horse I've ever owned,” said owner Mike Mowrey. “He's a very smart horse–he's calm, cool and collected, but when he got on the track, he meant business. If he passes on his speed and his personality, I think his foals will be pretty precocious.”

Swifty General Manager Jerri Harmon added, “We think the addition of American Pastime to our roster will expand the offerings Swifty Farms has, as well as bring a new set of bloodlines to the state. He's settled in quite well and we're looking forward to seeing what his breeding season brings us.”

Online Bingo Advantages

Online bingo is a lot different than playing bingo in a traditional bingo hall. Here I will give some of the advantages in playing bingo online instead of in a bingo hall.

1) Online bingo is an extremely competitive business and many online bingo sites will offer a lot to get and keep your business. Many will offer sign-up bonuses to new customers, adding 10 to 50% of their initial deposit to their bankroll.

2) The rules are usually better than in physical bingo halls.

3) You no longer have to watch your cards like a hawk – most online bingo sites have automatic daubing as an option. This means that you can buy as many cards as you like, without worrying about missing a Bingo when you play online bingo. A site like Bingodrome allows the player to buy cards in advance, thus ensuring the player does not forget to buy his cards.

4) The better online bingo sites have exciting graphics, fun sound effects, and wonderful support staff when you play online bingo.

5) You can keep in touch with friends & relatives who live far away. The chatroom is the one of the best features of a good online bingo site. You can choose whether to play chat games, meet new friends, or just listen to others conversations. Bingodrome has a wonderful chatroom, where one can play numerous games to possibly win prizes.

6) Online bingo cards are often less expensive (from 5c upwards) when you play online bingo.

7) Online bingo is open 24/7/365 so you decide when you want to play. You can login at 3 in the morning if you cannot sleep, and will have a roomful of other players who can help you get through the night when you play online bingo.

8) You don’t have to travel long distances. The bingo hall, along with all your friends, is in your own home. This is especially convenient for those of us who cannot leave the house due to illness, etc.. when you play online bingo.
