Premier trainer Chris Waller has compared utilising apprentice Lee Magorrians three-kilogram claim to a drop in grade for Wine Tales.The Irish-born Magorrian is with Wallers stable on a scholarship from New Zealand which in the past has been awarded to Danielle Johnson, Jason Collett, his sister Alysha and Chris Dell.Magorrian has ridden 96 winners in New Zealand reducing his claim to one kilogram, but because of the way their races are classified he is still eligible to claim three in in Australia.Thats a massive thing. Six ratings points, its basically like dropping a horse in grade so its a big plus, Waller said on his weekly video update.Magorrian rode Wine Tales when the horse was second first-up at Rosehill over 1200m on October 29 and gets another chance on her in Saturdays Club Marconi Armatrice Handicap at the same track and distance.Obviously apprentices have a claim because theyre not quite as effective as senior riders and they do make mistakes, Waller said.Taking that into consideration, I think it gives Wine Tales a good chance to run well first-up as she did on Saturday.Magorrian has two other chances for his first Australian win at Rosehill, picking up the rides on Trafalgar and Redoutable Heart for Waller.After the claim Wine Tales will shoulder 58kg as she goes up against race favourite Daysee Doom who will be ridden by trainer Ron Quintons apprentice Andrew Adkins.Adkins, who claims 2kg, was on Daysee Doom when she won her most recent start at Randwick on October 22.Despite that win coming over 1400m, Quinton has elected to drop her back to 1200m as she looks to extend her winning record to five from seven starts.Daysee Doom is the $2.80 top pick ahead of Painted Firetail at $6, while Alart and Nudierudie share the third line of betting at $7.Wine Tales is an $8 hope along with the Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Yuma Desert.

MOSCOW -- A year after the release of a damning report into widespread doping, Russian track and field is hopeful of a way back into the global fold.On November 9, 2015, the World Anti-Doping Agencys independent commission unleashed a strongly worded, 323-page account of how Russian athletes, coaches and officials had colluded in the use of performance-enhancing drugs before and after the 2012 London Olympics.That report set in motion a year of turmoil and legal battles for Russia, which had more than 100 athletes in various sports barred from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, including all but one member of the track and field team. The Russian track federation remains barred from international competition, with no date set for when it could return.Weve lived through a hard year, very hard, All-Russian Athletics Federation general secretary Mikhail Butov told The Associated Press. Not just regarding the participation of our athletes at the Olympics, which was the most important thing for us, but in terms of recognizing the situation and understanding which way to go.Despite being under the heaviest sanctions in track and field history, Russian officials insist they are making progress on anti-doping reforms and plan to send athletes to major competitions in the coming months. The main target is the European indoor championships in Belgrade, Serbia, from March 3-5, federation president Dmitry Shlyakhtin said after talks with IAAF representatives in Monaco.The IAAF will hold a special congress in Monaco on Dec. 3.Any Russians who are allowed to compete will probably have to accept neutral status in IAAF events rather than officially representing Russia, Butov suggested. The IAAF declined to comment on the talks.The work has continued and there is something to show for it, Butov said.The only Russian who competed in track and field at the Rio Games was long jumper Darya Klishina, who was allowed to take part under IAAF rules because she had been based in the U.S. for several years, away from the Russian drug-testing system, which faced accusations that offficials and lab staff had covered up hundreds of failed tests.ddddddddddddRussian track and field officials and athletes hope the IAAF will accept individual athletes applications to compete, even if the federation as a whole remains suspended.Now it seems as if that criterion about living abroad can probably be disregarded, Butov said. The issue now is that the testing that has been done in this period is considered convincing and guaranteed to give an athlete the opportunity to be considered for competition. If its not like that, itll be an endless process.The Russian drug-testing agency has been suspended for almost a year, with testing carried out in reduced numbers by Britains anti-doping agency. Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov said the situation was totally unacceptable because UK Anti-Doping plans to collect only 6,000 samples in 2017, compared to the 20,000 collected by the Russian agency at its peak. He said that only national team athletes are being targeted for testing, leaving youth and junior athletes out of the system.So, in a situation like this, why not to find a fast-track way to give the accreditation back to RUSADA and to renew its activities, especially since it is under the full control of WADA? Zhukov said in a speech to IOC officials released Wednesday. What is preventing this? For our part, we would like to appeal to you as WADAs founders to assist in the prompt reinstatement of the Russian anti-doping agency and the anti-doping laboratory in their rights.Among those who missed the Rio Games was hammer thrower Sergei Litvinov, who had hoped to compete in his first Olympics.Ive spent the whole year on edge, he said.Litvinov, a vocal critic of drug use, had requested extra drug-testing by the IAAF to prove he was clean, but still came under the Russian teams ban. He still doesnt know when he can compete again.Whatever will be, will be, he said. It could all change at any moment. ' ' ' |
