New Racehorse Management Technology In Australia Changes How Champion Trainer Waller Runs His Stable

A new automated platform created in Australia has taken racehorse care and management to the next level, according to horsetalk. The product is currently only being used in Australia and champion trainer Chris Waller said it has changed how he runs his stable.

StableWizard is an app that was created by Segenhoe Stud chairman Kevin Maloney. The system is cloud-based and gives trainers and stable staff instant access to all details of the horses in their care. The app is accessible via smartphone or tablet and transfers general horse management information such as temperature, feed checks, and treatment plans onto a dashboard for trainers, stable staff, or service providers to view at any time or location.

in Waller's stable, each horse has its temperature taken daily using a Bluetooth thermometer, with the results sent to StableWizard in real-time. The trainer of well-known race mare Winx said the data provided by StableWizard has improved the efficiency of his business and the care provided to the horses.

“Some processes that took two hours now take two minutes,” Waller said.

The founders of StableWizard believe the product will modernize equine management and they are aiming for it to become the new industry standard. Maloney says that the addition of more components to the app is planned. No information has been provided about wether or not this technology will make an appearance in the U.S.

Juddmonte’s Full Sister To Bonny South On Path To Stakes Company After Fair Grounds Win

Juddmonte Farms Inc's 2-year-old filly Sun Path pressed the early pace of Rock Star Parking, took full command on the turn, and drew off to win a first-level Friday allowance under a hand ride for trainer Brad Cox and jockey Florent Geroux. The margin of victory was 12 ¾ lengths for the .20-1 favorite and she stopped the timer in 1:42.95 for one mile and 70 yards over a fast track.

“It was a short field, but I thought she ran well,” Cox said. “It was her first time around two turns and she continued the education process. It went really well. She's a good filly.”

By Munnings out of the Tapit mare Touch the Star, Sun Path is a full sister to 2020 Fair Grounds Oaks (Grade 2) winner Bonny South.

“At this stage of the game, she's better,” Cox said of Sun Path. “She showed more this summer than Bonny (South) showed as a 2-year-old. She's got a long way to go to catch up to Bonny's accomplishments, but at this stage of the game, there's more talent and speed there and she does things maybe a touch easier.”

According to Cox, the locally run $150,000 Silverbulletday on Saturday, Jan. 16 is “in play,” but he'll likely give her a little more time between starts.

“We will also look at the Martha Washington (Jan. 30 at Oaklawn Park) or we might just wait for the Rachel Alexandra (G2) (Feb.13 at Fair Grounds). We will just see how well she bounces out of this race, how it shapes up, how it plays out and let her tell us.”

One race earlier on the card for Cox and Geroux, Godolphin LLC's Divine Comedy put herself on the map with an impressive maiden score, wiring a field of eight foes by 5 ¼ widening lengths while eased under the wire.

“She appreciated the two turns,” Cox said of the 2-year-old daughter of Into Mischief. “First time out (sixth at Churchill Downs in a 6 ½-furlong sprint on September 17) she ran well but we knew she needed more ground. She had a little minor setback, nothing we had to send her out for, and it took a little time for her to get over that. She had a fantastic breeze here last week, we expected her to run big and she responded well.”

Cox also reported that Juddmonte Farms Inc's Mandaloun, an impressive winner of consecutive races in Kentucky, is being pointed for the $200,000 Lecomte (G3) at 1 1/16 miles on January 16. The Into Mischief colt is scheduled to breeze a local half mile on Saturday morning.

Mandatory Rainbow 6 Payout Set For Saturday At Gulfstream

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be offered Saturday at Gulfstream Park, where the Grade 3 Mr. Prospector and the $100,000 Via Borghese will be included in the six-race sequence of the popular multi-race wager.

Saturday's 11-race program will get underway at 12:05 p.m.

The Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the 13th day of the Championship Meet Friday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $398.54. A jackpot pool of $839,334.75 will be carried over to Saturday's mandatory payout.

The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot is usually only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool usually goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. However, on mandatory payout days, the entire pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

The Rainbow 6 will be kicked off in Race 6, a 7 ½-furlong turf race for $20,000 claimers that drew a field of 10 and a main-track-only entrant. Live Oak Plantation's Souper Highvoltage, who will race for a claiming tag for the first time, is rated as the 5-2 morning-line favorite in what may be widely viewed as a 'spread' race.

An optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares at six furlongs follows in Race 7. Ralph Nicks-trained Doll Collection, a daughter of two-time Eclipse Award champion Groupie Doll, is rated as the 5-2 morning-line favorite in a field of eight that includes Michael Stidham-trained Pago Querido, who broke her maiden at Laurel in her most recent start.

Chad Brown-trained Greyes Creek will seek his third straight victory in Race 8, a 1 1/16-mile turf race for 3-year-olds and up. The 4-year-old son of Pioneerof the Nile will be challenged by Graham Motion-trained Succeedandsurpass, who overcame traffic to win a Woodbine allowance last time out.

The Via Borghese, a 1 3/16-mile turf stakes for fillies and mares, is carded as Race 9. Todd Pletcher-trained Always Shopping, the only graded stakes winner in the field of nine, is favored in the morning line at 5-2. The 4-year-old daughter of Awesome Again, who won the 2019 Gazelle (G2) on dirt and finished second in a photo for win in the Dowager (G3) at Keeneland last time out, will be accompanied to the gate by Pletcher stablemate Cap de Creus. Brown-trained Great Island is scheduled to make her stakes debut in the Via Borghese while coming off back-to-back wins.

The $100,000 Mr. Prospector (G3), a seven-furlong sprint for 3-year-olds and up, will provide the stage for a clash of Firenze Fire, Mind Control and Diamond Oops, a trio of graded-stakes veterans in a talent-laden field of 12. Firenze Fire, who finished third in the Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) at Keeneland last time out, is the 5-2 morning-line favorite.

The Rainbow 6 sequence will conclude with a mile maiden special weight race on turf for 2-year-olds in Race 11. The field of 11 includes first-time starters trained by Pletcher, Mark Casse and Brian Lynch.

The player with the longest “Show Streak” on June 20 will be declared the top prize winner of $2,500.

The longest “Show Streak” is just one of five separate says to win beginning Dec. 26.
