Is your mate a former AFL player? Had this horse in my BB so already on, but couldn’t remember why I had it lol.

After almost 150 years, jumps racing has been killed off in South Australia.

Racing SA announced on Friday that no jumps races have been scheduled in the state’s racing calendar in 2022.

Racing SA CEO Nick Redin said data from the state’s 12 jumps races held during the 2020/21 season endorsed the regulator’s decision.

During last season field sizes fell to less than five horses per race, while field sizes grew in flat events to 9.7 runners per race held in the state. Also there are less than 10 jumps horses currently in training in South Australia, compared with more than 2400 flat racing thoroughbreds.

“Participation levels in jumps racing in South Australia, particularly from within our state, have been declining for some time and it has become clear that we no longer have a sustainable jumps industry,” Redin said.

“While this will undoubtedly be sad news for some, we believe it creates some very exciting opportunities for the future.

“Thoroughbred racing in South Australia is on a growth trajectory, and this decision is in the best interests for the future of our industry.”

Despite the demise of jumps racing, it has also been announced that in 2022, the Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival will “return to its roots” and be held on the traditional Easter Saturday and Easter Monday dates.

Oakbank Racing Club Chair Arabella Branson said the three iconic names of Oakbank’s famous three jumps races – Great Eastern, Von Doussa and Harry D. Young – will remain as part of the carnival.

“While we know not everyone will be happy with the decision, it’s a very exciting chance for us to build on the traditions of the past while creating new history,” Branson said.

“It means we can return to having the iconic Easter Carnival with racing on both Easter Saturday and Easter Monday and attract a new audience to Oakbank by broadening opportunities for some new and exciting initiatives for the 2022 carnival and beyond.

“There are a great many people who love Oakbank for what it is; we believe there are even more who will love it for what it will be.”

Racing SA also plans to support owners and trainers of the state-based jumpers to “assist them in either transferring the horses to new owners interstate, into eventing or into retirement”.

“I did have jumpers, but because we have no riders here it just became cost prohibitive to have to fly jockeys in to do the training and race riding. That’s why I moved my business to flat racing,” SA trainer Richard Jolly said.

“The industry has worked hard to see if there’s a future for jumps racing in South Australia, but it’s clear that it is no longer sustainable.”

In 2021, the Von Doussa Steeple and Harry D. Young Hurdle were won by Victorian-trained gallopers Yensir and Britannicus while veteran Spying On You recorded a memorable win in the Great Eastern Steeplechase for Murray Bridge trainer Grant Young.

Spying On You ran in five Great Easterns – winning the race in 2017 and 2021.

“It’s pretty amazing,” Young told broadcaster Racing.com after Spying On You’s 2021 win.

“Geez, he’s been a marvel. I couldn’t be prouder of him. What a great performance.

“He’d be classed as a champion, wouldn’t he?”

Victoria is now the only state in Australia that conducts hurdle and steeplechase racing.

The beautifully named DOC O'Connor has his first start tomorrow in the first at Flemington.

Was on Young Werther, wins nicely if not for the beast that is Incentivise.

Be interesting to see how it goes if it ever misses an early lead (not that youd back against it to get the job done)

Same result as you in the end mate, but tipping the Bayliss winner at $41 to a mate hurt and I was ready to throw it all away .. Nek minute Say Haya salutes at $26 and I'd loaded (by my standard). To finish about $400 up after coming 2nd more than I did as a 19 year old was a great result, King Klaus hurt though.

King Klaus was good for me, i was on Tambo's mate.
Got the quinella with private eye and aramayo, paid 99 but only had it twice.
Ive noticed the fixed odds with points bet on those first 5 races are consistently between 50c and $1 less than sportsbet and all of them shaft you fixed compared to the tote in general, sure theres occasions where you get the better deal but not often

Yeah, he mentioned how good the set up at the Lakes is, he puts up decent bottle for the Caulfield Guineas Day each year that we try to win for bragging rights, we're heading to the V this Saturday for it, now that place is the Taj Mahal for punting.

and he was pretty pumped Saturday, despite missing the start it was a great run to finish 2nd and there's a lot to like about the horse, Coolangatta is going to be one of those horses we'll be talking about for a long time IMO.

Watching Dalasan on Saturday with his strapper in the room was pretty exciting and disappointing. Looked the winner with 200 to go only to get pipped, off to the Cox Plate and his best distance, I'll be at Morphetville in a Canadian Club tent that day with the parents of the strapper so looking forward to a cracking day.
