Biography: Graham is the former sports editor of the Irish Post newspaper in London and has been a broadcast and print journalist for the last decade working in the U.K., Australia and in his native Ireland. He presents a show on local BBC radio in the South East of England and claims to have Psychic powers. He once worked as a body double for Jean Claude Van Damme and represented Belarus in last year’s Eurovision song contest with the song “random factor blues”!A lowdown on the top ten under 10s – the mega stables of tomorrowWeek in, week out we hail the achievements of the big names in virtual horse racing but what about the smaller and newer stables who are set to become the successful yards of the future. This week, in a change of tact, I’m going to focus on ten stables who have 10 wins or less to date and explain why they could yet become household names!1. Name: WINDRUSH STABLE
Date Joined: May 23rd
Number of wins: 9
Top horse: Iron Monkey (bought in a claimer from Lloyds Longshots), 3 year old colt, grade 2, 7 wins (3 graded, 4 rated)
Last stable win: Monday, June 27th – Extra Broke in a race for maiden juvenile grade 3 fillies in England.Reason to be hopeful: The acquisition of Iron monkey shows this stable owner has a good eye for quality. While his win to run ratio isn’t amazing (1 in 7) he’s still earned £174 in his short career and that earning potential is all important for a new yard starting off, learning to walk before you can run and all that. Another reason for great hope is the only grade one animal in the yard. ‘Arabic waffles’ came from the shotgun_mike stable so he comes with a great pedigree. It may seem like a Chelsea player signing for Barnet but it could be the key to turning this stable into a major force.2. Name: OWEN RACING
Date joined: June 17th
Number of wins: 2
Top horse: Premier Amour (1 graded win so far and a brilliant name)
Last stable win: Tuesday, June 28th – Daisy Dreamer in a free race for grade 3 fillies and colts
Reason to be hopeful: Well trial and error is a key to finding your feet in this game. Sometimes harsh lessons have to be learned in the early days and to be fair to Owen Racing the yard is only up and running for just over a week! But by now it seems apparent that 2-year-old filly Domina Everton will not set the world alight. She’s won just once in 13 outings and as a die-hard Liverpool FC fan I can’t say I’m surprised! Call horses after the team in the red half in the city Owen Racing and you’ll fare much better!3. Name: SHAKA ZULU STABLES
Date joined: June 21st
Number of wins: 4
Top horse: Caesar Vodka (Bought from the Final Valley stable last Sunday for £9.15 this 2-year old grade 3 colt has three graded wins to his name)
Last stable win: Monday, June 27th – Shaka Zulu Stream in a Novice race for juvenile fillies (grade 3)
Reason to be hopeful: Well the South African silks are a winner straight off. As well as that the Shaka Zulu stable appear to be busy preparing their charges for the coming weeks and months. In terms of new stables few appear to be as fit as this one. Already there are 16 horses in the yard and while none jump out at you as being word beaters you can be sure they’ll go into races at peak fitness.4. Name: DUBAI FIELD RANCH
Date joined: June 6th
Number of wins: 6
Top horse: Stez (named after the stable that sold him ie. Stez, this 2-year-old colt has bags of potential with 3 graded wins and one claimer victory to his name)
Last stable win: Monday, June 27th – Oscar Cruz in a free grade 3 race for colts and fillies.Reason to be hopeful: There’s no doubt but that the introduction of Stez to this stable can help it kick on. While the likes of Mark the Mighty and Derby Shadow have threatened much they’re still faltering in the delivery stakes. Of the 12 horses in this stable four of those are grade ones with Absolute Aim appearing to be the handiest of these, watch this space!5. Name: EAST CITY
Date joined: May 29th
Number of wins: 8
Top horse: Born G3 (this 4-year-old grade 3 filly has had four owners in her career and over that time picked up 11 graded wins. Came to East City on June 10th.)
Last stable win: Monday, June 27th – Liamz in a Novice race for Juvenile colts in England.Reason to be hopeful: Should the only grade one in the yard Canadian Empire finally come good then East City could be in the money but at the moment at least the 3-year-old filly is not setting the world alight. Gage roads came from the Hermitage Kennels at the end of May and to be fair to him you can’t fault his work rate. On June 23rd he picked up a nice A Division race for 4-7 year old colts in England and has the potential to add to his current career earnings of £186.6. Name: COSMIC KIDS FARMS
Date Joined: June 14th
Number of wins: 4
Top horse:Swedish Sandwich (Acquired in a claimer back on June 17th this 2-year old filly has collected 3 graded wins and if she can build up some consistency could be a valuable asset)
Last stable win: Sunday, June 26th – What A Hoot decimated a full field in England to win a progress race for juvenile fillies (grade 3)Reason to be hopeful: I think the Cosmic Kids farm has actually done a good job of holding onto young horses with potential while adding to them with horses of some proven experience. Now the likes of Swedish sandwich and Stan Marsh are average at best but if they can pick off a result in three or four races it will pay for the newer charges to be blooded. Nice stable this and once it remains organised and focussed I can see it going far.7. Name: GOYTRE CLYDACH
Date Joined: June 20th
Number of wins: 2
Top horse: Goytre (Won two graded and one free race so far, this 2-year-old colt has been out almost every day since he first entered the yard)
Last stable win: Friday, June 24th – With Charlie Saxon in the saddle Goytre picked up a nice win in this Novice race for juvenile colts.
Reason to be hopeful: Well for one this is a proud Welsh stable and you can be sure all the Irish and Scots will be rooting for you at least, even if the ones in the middle may not!! Seriously though that geographical spread is one reason why this site works so well and long may it last. The Goytre Clydach yard is kind of at that stage at the moment of asking itself should I stay or should I go? Well from what I can see staying would be the wisest option, Clydach 2, Goytre and Clydach Home are all horses with earning potential if you ask me. But then again what do I know…………….8. Name: SHIROUTO NO KYUUSHA
Date joined: May 13th
Number of wins: 5
Top horse:Girl4me (Strolled over from the Strollers yard at the end of May but the 3-year-old filly is still waiting for her first win with her new stable.)Last stable win: Saturday, June 25th – We Do Not Sow had half a length to spare ahead of White Silo from the Owen Racing yard in this Maiden race for juvenile colts (grade 3) in England.
Reason to be hopeful: The short term success of the Shirouto No Kyuusha stable may depend on the form of its only grade one challenger named Casido De Oreilla. Bought from the Kegart stable on June 20th this 2-year-old has shown promise but his best performance so far was back on May 25th when he finished third in a £30.50 Capped WFA race for 2-7 year old colts in Hong Kong in a full field. Finding the right races for Casido may be the stable’s biggest problem. And given his recent past Shirouto will also be hoping that recent recruit Crusader can add to the two graded wins he picked up with former stable Billie B.9. Name: MAGISTIC LODGE
Date Joined: June 23rd
Number of wins: 7
Top horse: Magistic Star (With two wins in his last four races this 2-year-old colt is certainly heading in the right direction)
Last stable win: Monday, June 27th – Virtual German jockey Wolfgang Schmidt guided Magistic Skye home in this Progress race for juvenile fillies (grade 3) in the USA with plenty to spare.Reason to be hopeful:Packed with grade 3 two-year-olds the Magistic lodge yard will be hoping to pull a monster from the sales ring the next time they go fishing. While most of the charges in house at the moment may not make it keep an eye out for Magistic Skye who’s always been there or there abouts come race end thus far.10. Name: OLIVIA
Date joined: June 23rd
Number of wins: 1
Top horse:Boston two step (Well this 2-year-old filly won on her first race emerging from a strong field of 11 to take a novice race for juvenile fillies in the U.S of A.Last stable win: See aboveReason to be hopeful: A beautiful name - for a stable I’ve a good feeling about, the same kind of feeling you get when you walk into a casino and tell yourself you’re going to walk away with money tonight! This is still a small stable but to be fair it hasn’t even been on the go a week yet. It’ll be interesting to monitor the progression of Olivia’s grade one filly called Kentmere King. If she can make waves then that could help the grade 2 and 3 horses show what they’re made of.TO ALL OUR NEW OWNERS – THE VERY BEST OF LUCK – SEE YOU ON THE TRACK

Enter the Tour de France Cycle Races on Digiturf.com
Enter the Tour de France Cycle Races The 2011 Tour de France will be the 98th Tour de France. It will start on 2 July with a 180 km 1st stage in Passage du Gois, and end on the Champs-Elysées in Paris on 24 July. The complete route of the 2011 Tour de France was announced on 19 October 2010. The emphasis will be on the Alps in 2011, much like it was on the Pyrenees for 2010 in commemorating the 100th anniversary of those peaks first being visited in the Tour. The Col du Galibier will be visited twice during the race and on the 18th stage it will be the first time the peloton finish on the 2645 metre top. It would be the highest summit finish of this competition, beating the finish of the Col du Granon (2413 m, near Serre Chevalier) during 1986 Tour de France. For the 2011 Tour, there will be new rules in place governing how the points classification and the King of the Mountainsare won. Previously, stages classified flat had three intermediate sprint points in them, worth 6, 4, and 2 points to the first three riders across the line. In 2011, flat stages will have just one intermediate sprint, but it will be worth 20 points to the first rider across the line, and the first 15 will score points. The intention is to have green jersey favourites needing to sprint twice during the day to score well. Points awarded at the finish of flat stages will also increase, from 40 points for the winner in 2010 to 45. It is not known if the points scales for medium mountain stages, mountain stages, or the individual time trial will be altered. Previously in the mountains classification, any hors catégorie, first-category, or second-category climb awarded double points if it was the last of the day. In 2011, only the summit stage finishes will award double points, specifically stage 12 ending at Luz Ardiden, stage 14 at the Plateau de Beille, stage 18 at the Col du Galibier, and stage 19 at L'Alpe d'Huez. Previously the first eight riders across a first-category climb scored points, as well as the first six across a second-category and the first four across a third-category. Now the first six across the line for any of these climbs will score points. For fourth-category climbs, only the first rider will score points. Early analysis has led to speculation that the mountains classification winner is more likely, under this system, to be a general classification contender than in years past.RaceClubs.com’s Race Programmer is such a big fan of the Tour de France Cycle Races that he’s sponsoring 44 races with an extra £27.45 during the Tour de France Cycle Race season from 2-24 July 2011. We hope your 2Y horses are eligible for those D Division and B Division races because that’s where you’ll find over the £1,207.80 sponsorships in the Tour de France Cycle Races! Saddle Up Today!

This year's Durban July theme is "A Right Royal Affair",
The Durban July Racing ExperienceHorse racing is a hugely popular sport in South Africa, with regular racing taking place around the country, but it is the Durban July Racing that steals the limelight because it has also become one of the most talked about and attended social gatherings in South Africa. This year’s Durban July Racing theme is synonymous with glamour, glitz and fashion. This year's theme "A Right Royal Affair", inspired by the two royal weddings scheduled for 2011, emulates opulence and class, whilst allowing room for varied interpretations, such as ethnic beauty or an eclectic perspective of royalty. It will indeed be ‘A Right Royal Affair’ as you rub shoulders with high profile guests, share the excitement of horseracing and show off your race day hat and haute couture ensemble. At times the event appears to be eclipsed by the fashionable and the sociable but serious punters know it is the one race in Africa where legends have been made and reputations have been broken. RaceClubs.com is excited to host its very own Durban July Racing celebration of this prestigious horse racing event, and are especially excited to invite to be a part of this great racing experience by nominating your very own virtual horses into these races: £128 Durban July Racing Level Weight 4-7Y C - Gr 1

Enjoy seven days of Wimbledon at Digiturf.com
Seven days of Wimbledon It’s too late to consider a career change to become a ball boy (or girl) at Wimbledon but it is interesting to learn that their training to fetch balls does beyond the obvious “Fetch!” According to Wimbledon’s website, their training is directed by Anne Rundle, who has been involved their training for over 25 years. Training sessions begin in February and covers general fitness and movement exercises, circuits, ball skills (rolling, feeding, receiving, working on knowledge of the game), scoring (eg knowing from the score at which end the balls should be), and set pieces (marching, start and end of game, tie break, ball change, suspended play etc.). Each prospective ball boy / girl will train once a fortnight and also attend four brief court training sessions at the Covered Courts before Easter. After the Easter break all training takes place at Wimbledon until mid-June. Weekly training sessions last 2.0-2.5 hours with 50-60 children per session. Four sessions per week. Four teams of six are selected by Anne Rundle to be responsible for Centre and No. 1 Courts. Six teams of six rotate around the other show courts while the remainder in teams of six rotate around the rest of the courts. Their usual routine is one hour on, one hour off. The Race Programmer is a firm believer in the benefits of good training, which is why he’s hoping you’ve trained your horses to compete over all the distances in the Wimbledon Final WFA races. He’s served £31.50 sponsorships in 14 races. All you need to do is saddle up your horses and work on your backhand! The Wimbledon Final WFA races run from Monday, 27 June – Sunday, 3 July 2011.
Graham Clifford's View from the Stands
Biography: Graham is the former sports editor of the Irish Post newspaper in London and has been a broadcast and print journalist for the last decade working in the U.K., Australia and in his native Ireland. He presents a show on local BBC radio in the South East of England and claims to have Psychic powers. He once worked as a body double for Jean Claude Van Damme and represented Belarus in last year’s Eurovision song contest with the song “random factor blues”!Isn’t one Greek tragedy enough?!As if the Greek people didn’t have it bad enough already Convey racing wants them to go through more pain! In last week’s view from the stands competition I asked ‘What the Duke of Edinburgh should do now that he’s turned 90 in terms of kicking back?’ Convey wrote “perhaps, being born into the Royal family of Greece, he could become the official Raceclubs ambassador for the Greek Forum. Can't do any damage on there since no bugger uses it!!!!” A member of the Danish-German House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg actually Prince Philip was indeed born in Corfu in 1921 though it’s unlikely he’d become a Raceclubs ambassador, no excrement Sherlock! The Greek forum does indeed lack a steady flow of traffic but very useful and constructive posts such as “it's all Greek to me” (thank you Peeyays) and “May I order a bottle of Ouzo” (good effort Green Bay stables) hints that perhaps it’s not fulfilling its original function!Anyway Convey Racing - for your alarming but humorous suggestion regarding the Duke of Edinburgh you win this week’s £10 in bonus credits. It’s also worth mentioning Jewitt’s answer too the saucy devil, he wrote “Cut down on his bedroom activities, chill and give Her Majesty a bit of peace!” – would that be what they call a Royal rogering!Nippy Jordan sends the gunners into euphoriaWell Liverpool might be banging on about their new recruit, the £20 million rated Jordan Henderson but down Arsenal way there’s a champ of the same name who’s setting the tongues wagging. On the dirt in Dubai on Thursday 2-year-old colt ‘Nippy Jordan’ cut through a full field to collect his third career win but much more importantly notch up the 1,000th for the gogogunner stable. When contacted by the View from the stands team last night Arsenal manager Arsene Wegner found it hard to speak without shedding tears of joy, he uttered “I didn’t see the race in question……..but I’m delighted for our boy.”Poetry and contemplation weekend planned for GingerMagaluf rests peacefully in the Spanish municipality of Calvia on the island of Majorca. Here you’ll find a dense population of churches, monasteries and theatres. Whoops confused Magaluf with Rome there in that last sentence, just hope Ginger from the Ginger Richards Studs hasn’t made the same mistake. I think he probably hasn’t to be honest, see what you think – here is his recent post of intent– “hello ladies....I’m goin magaluf tomorrow on a stag do...gonna get wrecked beyond compare.....***Edited***my pants maybe......anyway its nothin to do with racing but i'm just lettin you know.. hope you all think i will have a good time.....the forums will be quiet for a few days.......bobs in a qualy at weekend so fingers crossed for a 2nd.......anyway girls..catch you later !!!!!” -Yeah, I don’t think he’s confused Magaluf with Rome to be honest!Olympic tickets – anyone get lucky?More frenzied buying of Olympic tickets today I hear. Did many of you apply for and get tickets dear Raceclubs owners? I managed to get a couple for the finals of the ladies boxing - I kid you not. Katie Taylor from Ireland is world champion at lightweight division so I’m hoping to see her in the final on August 9, 2012. However if she doesn’t qualify my Olympic experience could consist of sitting alongside hundreds of frustrated Irish fans watching two women from outer Mongolia trying to knock each other’s heads off!Oh the good old days when owners were the kings of the worldI’m going to start a campaign to get horse racing incorporated as an Olympic sport. Just think of the number of medals Ireland would win! Seriously though there was a time in the history of the Olympic Games when horse racing of sorts was involved. And better still it wasn’t the rider who collected the medal but the owner. In the ancient Olympic Games chariot racing was one of the main events. Now if I could just get them to consider ‘virtual horse racing’ you could win Olympic gold from the comfort of your sitting room!Wimbledon 2011! You got to laugh!My two year old daughter Aoife was sitting down watching tennis with me the other day and when Novak Djokovic was on I head her going “come on chocolate witch!”, priceless. Anyway here are a few more rib ticklers during this tennis fest.

Need some #Father's Day gift suggestions? What about a virtual horse he can race?
Father's Day is a secular festival that sees celebration in different parts of the world. Like in most places, Father's Day celebration in UK (Great Britain) takes place with much aplomb and glory. In England, this day falls on the third Sunday of every June. Therefore, the occasion is not marked on a particular date, rather keeps on changing each year. People revel in its festivities and honor their fathers on this special day. Joyous celebrations are also characterized with gift-giving and organizing lavish parties at home. On this day, children put across their innermost feelings of affection and gratefulness towards their dads, with the help of various tokens of love. Popular gifts like cards, flowers, and chocolates are presented to daddies, as expressions of warmth and gratitude. Small children articulate their sentiments for dad with the help of simple homemade arts and crafts. Colorful handmade greeting cards are a preferred gift among many children. Fathers Day parties and cultural shows are also organized in many schools all across Britain. Children participate and show their talents and also take part in various games and activities during the Father's Day school festivities. Apart from schools, the day is also celebrated in various clubs and cultural societies. Parties and get-togethers are organized to mark the cheerful spirit. People enjoy themselves with good food, fine liquors and tasteful music. Various games for children as well as adults are also conducted in these parties. However, Fathers Day celebration in the UK today has undergone heavy commercialization. It is seen as an opportune moment to introduce flamboyant products and extravagant gifts in the market. Marketers take full advantage of its ritualistic process of gift-giving, to launch favorable advertising campaigns. Though many critics vehemently oppose such crass commercialization, many people are in supportive of such forceful ad campaigns. Cheerers believe that such advertising policies create awareness about the Father's Day celebration and thus help in solidifying bonds between children and dads. Personally, we think anything is better than another tie or soap on a rope / cologne combo; which is why we're heading down to the Father's Day WFA!

Best-known syndicate in horse racing pulls no punches before the #Belmont Stakes!
Best-known syndicate pulls no punches! Most of the attention at the Belmont Stakes Media Luncheon in the Rockefeller Center was focused on the owners and trainers, rather than their horses, when Barry Irwin and Dale Romans took off their gloves off and gave each other a good ribbing in the name of fun. Team Valor International's Barry Irwin, the outspoken owner of Kentucky Derby (G1) winner, Animal Kingdom, was the first to throw down the gauntlet in advance of Saturday's showdown with Shackleford (Forestry), saying he wasn't worried at all about the rematch with the Preakness (G1) winner in Saturday's $1 million Belmont Stakes(G1). "I'm not concerned at all about Shackleford; Mucho Macho Man is the horse I'm worried about." Trainer Dale Romans, who had saddled Shackleford to a half-length victory over the Derby winner at Pimlico, was quick to fire back, “"That's not the dumbest thing that Barry's ever said, but it's close!" Irwin also hinted at an unorthodox summer campaign for Animal Kingdom, “After the Belmont Stakes, the Breeders Cup Classic would be a long-term goal at the end of the year,” he said. “But I have my own idea of how to get there that wouldn't include the Haskell or the Travers.” To which Romans responded: “I’ll meet Animal Kingdom on any track, at any distance.” Saturday’s Belmont Stakes will mark the 22nd time the individual winners of the Derby and the Preakness have met in 143 editions of the “Test of the Champion.” Of the 21 prior rubber matches, Preakness winners have won 10 runnings, while Derby winners have emerged victorious in five. Did you know that Team Valor International is the best-known syndicate in the world of horse racing according to The New York Times. Did you know that Digiturf.com have sponsored the Belmont Stakes Championship WFA with $500 cash?
Who Will Make The News In The Virtual Triple Crown? The stakes are getting higher at Digiturf.com because the race programmer has sponsored the most exciting Virtual Triple Crown Championship ever by combining the Kentucky Stakes with the Preakness Stakes and the challenging Belmont Stakes to create a racing extravaganza. The Kentucky Stakes, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes are three of the most prestigious championship races in their own right but collectively they represent the ultimate challenge for any trainer: The Virtual Triple Crown of online horse racing. It has become an annual highlight on Digiturf.com and it’s becoming increasingly more competitive and lucrative. This is virtual horse racing at its best. It is extremely competitive because while winning one Virtual Triple Crown Championship is an accomplishment, winning all three is virtually impossible. The Virtual Triple Crown Championship works in the same way as Digiturf.com’s seasonal (4-monthly) Championship Series. And as with true to real life racing your virtual horses also need to qualify for their place in the championships. You have thirty-six qualifying races over 1800m, 2200m, and 2400m distances for colts and fillies - the first qualifier runs on April 25, 2011 and the last qualifier runs on June 10, 2011. Each qualifier is worth an added $100 in bonus credits. Each final is worth an extra $500 cash. Each trainer is in it for themself. It’s six weeks of non-stop qualifying building up to the Kentucky, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes Championship Finals. Plus there are also Consolations where 1st, 2nd, and 3rd instances are worth $200, $150, and $100 in bonus credits respectively - sponsored proportionately to the number of runners. The Virtual Triple Crown Championship is worth over $7,000. Virtual Triple Crown Championship - Finals Schedule

The challenge to win the Virtual Triple Crown includes training and preparing your horses to compete against the most competitive horses in the virtual horse racing community. The races are so competitive that preparation requires intensive training, nutritional supplementation, and tack application.

The lines had been drawn for the most competitive virtual championship races where the most skilled players in the world were competing against each other. Even fresh-faced rookies Karl Khoder and Paris House were saddling their horses for the ultimate race against the biggest players. Karl Khoder goes from rookie to champion in the 2010 Virtual Triple Crown This season the Digiturf.com virtual horse racing community wants to see how Cepat Kaya, Austin's Racing, Bigslick, Black Lab Farms, Bluegrass Speed, Bunks Racing, Myrtle's Knackery, Ole Jim C Stables, Pecka's Pack, Shore Stables, and Thomo's Racing do in their first Virtual Triple Crown.
