Meanwhile the stewards adjourned an inquiry into Kerrin McEvoy's ride on the Peter Snowden-trained Shakes in the second race on Thursday.

McEvoy was questioned over his ride on the three-year-old, in particular his handling of the gelding near the 600m.

Stewards took evidence from McEvoy and Snowden and have adjourned the inquiry until a later date so they can review video footage of the horse's previous performances.

Telstra saddles up to back TVN's $400m bid for Tabcorp's Sky Channel
Matthew Stevens From: The Australian March 17, 2011 12:00AM

TELSTRA has emerged as a cornerstone financier of a $400 million-plus bid for Tabcorp's tyThe Tabcorp story is that Sky Channel's growth into a three channel, 24-7 network is at the heart of what momentum there is in the national wagering business and that a decision to surrender the direction of the network and the ability to promote only Tabcorp products on it would be entirely self-defeating.

Mind you, that vertical integration of Tabcorp's wagering business with its racing network became the subject last year of criticism by the Productivity Commission in its review of Australia's gambling industry.

The commission recommended that the federal government should request an Australian Competition & Consumer Commission investigation of Tabcorp's ownership of Sky Channel.

The commission's view was that the ownership of the racing channel potentially delivered Tabcorp with excessive power to quash competition in the broader wagering market.

It is understood that no such direction has yet been issued to the ACCC.

It is understood the offer from TVN, which marks its transition from corporate prey to commercial hunter, was predicated on due diligence, because Tabcorp has never provided firm clarity on the turnover and profit contributions generated by Sky Channel.

Based on consensus estimates that Sky generates EBITDA somewhere between $40 million and $50m, TVN is understood to have set its offer at about eight to nine times historic earnings.

Mind you, the word now is that Sky actually contributed nearer $60m to earnings last year and that revenues improved by a solid 9 per cent over the first half of the current financial year.

TVN's bid marks just the latest attempt to forge a merger between the two constantly sparring racing networks. But in the past it was TVN that was the target of the aspirations of others.

Over recent times TVN, which is 50 per cent-owned by Sydney's new super club, the Australian Turf Club, with the balance belonging to the three Victorian metropolitan racing clubs, has attracted the interest of James Packer, Foxtel and Tabcorp itself.

This time around, clearly inspired by the potential of Tabcorp's demerger, it is TVN that has sought to seize the initiative.

So why would Telstra get involved?

Well, Telstra is already something of a media partner with TVN courtesy of a host of arrangements, some exclusive, that allow it to deliver the broadcaster's content through BigPond, on mobiles and the internet through the telco's T-Box.

The prospect of a more material engagement between the telco and the racing industry's broadcaster, which is chaired by the inestimable Harold Mitchell, has been a matter of considerable speculation in racing circles ever since the former head of Tabcorp's wagering business, Robert Nason, joined Telstra.

The recognition that content drives technology uptake and usage has long been a part of Telstra's thinking (it should be remembered that in 2004 the Howard government gave the quiet nod for Telstra to chase Fairfax). And who better than Nason to drive the telco's appreciation of just how broad are the interactive needs of the average home punter.

The big question for TVN and Telstra now, given that Tabcorp doesn't want to play media merger games, is just where do they take their nascent alliance?

Could it be possible, for example, that Telstra might pursue the opportunity to become a minority partner in TVN?

Certainly this is an idea that the clubs have entertained, although rejected, in the past, when back in 2006 James Packer came knocking, offering $25 million for a 25 per cent stake.

Telstra, which has refused past invitations from The Australian to confirm it was involved in discussions with TVN about equity participation, last night refused to comment on the joint TVN bid for Sky Channel.

But a company spokesman noted that Telstra customers already get TVN product through BigPond TV, Next G mobiles and the web.

He added that: "Any discussion on how this relationship could change in the future would be purely speculative."

TAB manager netted millions, court hears

* 57-year-old allegedly behind $1.4m betting scam
* Faced 592 counts of theft in court yesterday
* Scam made use of "loophole" in system

PAMELA Susan Close couldn't lose a bet, a court heard yesterday.

The 57-year-old is alleged to have masterminded a $1.4 million betting scam while she was an ACTTAB accounts manager, The Daily Telegraph reported.

In nine years, the Canberra woman - a 20-year ACT TAB veteran - was alleged to have amassed a small fortune using many betting accounts.

Close faced 592 counts of theft in the ACT Magistrates Court yesterday.

According to court documents, Close was employed as the ACTTAB raceday controller, providing her with the access to betting systems. An affidavit tendered to the ACT Supreme Court in December alleged that Close used a "loophole" by placing bets on races after they had started.


From November 2001 to April 2010, Close allegedly had access to the betting system as an authorised manager, which meant she could re-open betting after a false start. This practice is usually reserved for the trots, where punters can place bets after a false start - but before the race has resumed.

Close allegedly started with small bets and spaced out the betting patterns. In 2002, she allegedly used the system to make 38 bets. By 2007 the frequency had risen by half.

The ACTTAB launched an internal investigation last May, weeks after Close is alleged to have made her final bet, which returned $14,656.

Close's lawyer Kamy Saeedi told The Daily Telegraph the case would eventually be sent to the ACT Supreme Court.

He formally entered a not guilty plea to one of the 592 charges against Close. More pleas are expected when the matters return to court on June 23.]]> https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/9741/cheltenham-festival Tue, 15 Mar 2011 21:08:37 +0000 9741@/discussion/discussions

Promising filly Houston Benefactor generated an extraordinary in-running betting story at Canterbury this afternoon when she was matched at $280 on Betfair after missing the start by six lengths, only to trade at the minimum price of $1.01 on the exchange when she charged through the field and appeared set to notch a miracle victory.


But there was another twist in this already staggering betting tale, as $48 outsider Exceed and Exalt broke through late to hit the line in-sync with Houston Benefactor.


The roughie was awarded the race in a photo, meaning the Anthony Cummings trained Houston Benefactor not only traded at $280 after missing the start but was also beaten after being matched at $1.01


Betfair?s Mathew Thompson said: ?I can?t remember a race where a horse traded at such opposite prices. It?s a genuine punting rarity and highlights the quality of Houston Benefactor?s run after dwelling in the gates.


?The layers were quick to offer any price when Houston Benefactor missed the start, but that quick thinking nearly brought about a punting wipeout as the daughter of Encosta De Lago charged home to figure in the finish.


?Punters were then prepared to take any price about the filly when she emerged from the pack, many taking $1.01 about her winning, only to see outsider Exceed and Exalt fly home closer to the fence.


?Regardless of whether they?ve won or lost, Betfair punters will no doubt be shaking their heads for quite a while whenever they reflect on this race.?

A champion jockey narrowly escaped injury as a racehorse was hit by a taxi near the Morphettville track in Adelaide.

The horse was hit while crossing near the Morphett Road-Bray Street corner in Adelaide's south-west, just after 6:00am ACST and had to be put down due to its injuries.

Jockey Clare Lindop was riding a second horse which narrowly escaped injury in the accident.

Former jockey John Letts says he is not surprised to hear of the accident in an area where hundreds of horses train every morning.

"We've had a lot of near-misses down there over the years," he said.

"The heavy traffic and this time of the morning ... and I mean the strappers, the attendants, have all got reflective clothing but on that intersection there of Bray Street and Morphett Road it gets very, very congested and very busy.

"There's a 40-kilometre-an-hour limit down Bray Street, but even at 40-kilometres-an-hour ... I've been driving down there myself sometimes and the horses, you just don't see them come along."

Trainer Leon Macdonald said it was upsetting to lose the unraced two-year-old, which was being ridden by Brodie Petherick, who escaped unhurt.

"People who live in the area are well aware of the horses shifting around this corner and they're always pretty good to us. This bloke was obviously strange to the area, I don't know," he said.

He said Lindop's horse narrowly avoided being hit.

"Clare was shocked, she saw it coming and kicked her horse forward and it got away from the other one and she was probably nearest Morphett Road," he said.

"She moved off on her horse and got out of its way, but only just."]]> https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/9681/vatican-predator Sat, 05 Mar 2011 12:45:30 +0000 SuburbanPunk 9681@/discussion/discussions
