Dubai Racing Club has released the list of horses accepted for the seven-meeting 2021 Dubai World Cup Carnival (DWCC), which runs for six consecutive Thursdays (Jan 21 – Feb. 25) before culminating with Super Saturday (Mar. 6), the official dress rehearsal for the historic 25th running of the Dubai World Cup card (Mar. 27). (Dubai World Cup 2020 was postponed as a result of Covid-19).

The list features 158 accepted horses, conditioned by a total of 63 trainers from 12 countries. In 2020, the DWCC saw horses from Great Britain, Ireland, Oman, Sweden, UAE, USA, South Africa, Bahrain, Denmark, Korea, Japan, Spain, France and Norway either win or finish placed. In 2021, too there is a great variety of international participation expected based on the horses that have been approved to run.

A total of 42 Thoroughbred races and three group purebred Arabian affairs are on the program, with a host of international stars likely to travel to Dubai to compete. Among the top names are Group 1 winners -the Roger Teal-trained Oxted (G1 Darley July Cup Stakes winner, 2020) and David O'Meara's trainee Lord Glitters (G1 Queen Anne Stakes at Ascot winner, 2019, third in G1 Dubai Turf behind Almond Eye at Meydan, 2019).

Fawzi-Nass's Simsir (Bahrain International Trophy winner, 2020) leads the list of returning DWCC stars, alongside Prince Of Arran (Placed thrice in the Melbourne Cup), Certain Lad (G3 Sky Bet And Symphony Group Strensall Stakes winner, York, 2020, sixth in Bahrain International Trophy), Equilateral (G1 placed in King's Stand Stakes at Ascot, 2020), Doug Watson's Midnight Sands (Two wins in DWCC 2020, back under Watson's tutelage after a stint in America) and Suzanne Berneklint's Plata O Plomo.

#VoteHollie – Doyle Bidding To Become First Female Jockey To Win Sports Personality Of The Year

Great British Racing (GBR) has been hard at work creating a social media campaign supporting 24-year-old British jockey Hollie Doyle in her bid to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award, according to the Racing Post. Doyle has been nominated for the award along with five other British athletes, and the winner will be voted on during the live awards show on BBC One this Sunday, Dec. 20.

Doyle has had a busy 2020 racing season: she rode her first Royal Ascot winner and won her first Group 1 race with Glen Shiel in the British Champions Sprint at Ascot in October. Doyle also broke her own record for most winners in a calendar year by a female jockey, and became the first female jockey to win a race during Hong Kong's LONGINES International Jockeys' Championship earlier this month at Happy Valley.

The only racing figure to win the award was Sir Anthony McCoy in 2010, so GBR is urging racing fans to rally together for world-wide support of the female jockey's bid for history through the use of social media and the hashtag #VoteHollie.

GBR published a feature story about Doyle's meteoric rise through the racing industry, which can be viewed here, as well as the video shown below.

A public vote will be conducted during Sunday's live show, which begins at 8:00 p.m. local time (3:00 p.m. Eastern) on BBC1.

Nebraska HBPA Expects Casino And Gaming Expansion By 2022

WarHorse Gaming, LLC and the Nebraska Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA) are working together to expand casino gaming at three racetracks in the state of Nebraska, according to KNOP News. These will include Horsemen's Park in Omaha, Lincoln Racecourse in Lincoln, and Atokad Park in South Sioux City.

WarHorse Gaming, LLC will be responsible for overall gaming operations and the Nebraska HBPA will continue to oversee all horse racing at the tracks. The two organizations are in the beginning stages of creating a timeline for the expansion and are expecting full casino operations to be up and running during 2022.

The Nebraska HBPA hopes this expansion will mean more involvement from the general public in horse racing in Nebraska, as well as more jobs and a general growth in the state's Thoroughbred industry.

“We are thrilled to partner with a world-class organization like Ho-Chunk, Inc.,” said Nebraska HBPA Executive Vice President Lynne McNally to KNOP News. “It's been a very long process getting to this point, with a lot more yet to do, but we're very much looking forward to what this will do for Nebraska.”

Thoroughbred Connect Update Allows Digital Foal Certificates To Be Utilized In Aftercare Assistance

The Jockey Club Registry announced today that contact information submitted through its Thoroughbred Connect program by those interested in providing aftercare or assistance for a Thoroughbred is now available when a horse's digital certificate of foal registration is accessed by the certificate manager.

Thoroughbred Connect enables anyone with an Interactive Registration (IR) account to express his or her willingness to be contacted by someone in possession of a Thoroughbred in the event the horse is in need of aftercare or assistance. It is also a resource for horse owners to list a Thoroughbred that is in need of aftercare or assistance.

With this update, contact information for those who would like to help a specific Thoroughbred is displayed by default on a horse's digital certificate page. Thoroughbred Connect users can elect to opt out of this setting at any time. Contact information associated with horses born prior to 2018, and who thus might not have a digital certificate, can still be shared with a successful connection made via the Thoroughbred Connect link after logging into IR.

“Adding contact information from Thoroughbred Connect to a horse's digital certificate page ensures that a horse's emergency contact will never be lost or removed and will always be easily accessible to its current digital certificate manager,” said Matt Iuliano, executive vice president and executive director of The Jockey Club. “We believe this change will facilitate connections to transition Thoroughbreds to new homes when their racing or breeding careers are over.”

“We at Herringswell Stables believe in the importance of ensuring that Thoroughbreds are cared for at all stages of their lives and have attached our contact information to physical copies of foal papers for years,” said Graham Motion. “We are excited to take advantage of The Jockey Club Registry's update to Thoroughbred Connect, which replicates the purpose of stickers and stamps in the age of digital certificates.”

“We commend The Jockey Club for their aftercare initiatives and their efforts to help horses transition to careers beyond the racetrack or breeding shed,” Staci Hancock of Stone Farm said. “From the Thoroughbred Incentive Program and “Transferred as Retired from Racing” designation to this most recent update to Thoroughbred Connect, we thank The Jockey Club for looking out for the welfare of Thoroughbreds and promoting their potential as sport, pleasure, and therapy horses.”

Since its introduction in May 2011, more than 3,500 users have signed up for Thoroughbred Connect, and there are currently more than 8,600 horses in the system that have at least one customer who has provided contact information to indicate their willingness to provide aftercare assistance.
