SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Gulfstream Park in Florida will hold a $400,000 race on Jan. 28 on the undercard of the $12 million Pegasus World Cup and allow stakeholders to pre-enter two horses in the Pegasus, officials of The Stronach Group, which owns Gulfstream, said on Monday night. One horse would be allowed to run in the Pegasus and the other in the secondary stakes, the Poseidon Stakes.The Poseidon Stakes will be run with identical conditions to the Pegasus, at 1-1/8 miles on the dirt for horses 4 years old and up, according to Mike Rogers, an executive with The Stronach Group who is spearheading the planning for the Pegasus and its undercard. The field will be restricted to the horses that stakeholders have entered but are not running in the Pegasus.The Stronach Group, which is owned by a family trust controlled by the billionaire racing titan Frank Stronach, has sold 12 berths in the Pegasus to individuals or partnerships who have committed to pay $1 million each for a slot in the starting gate and a share of the revenue from the race. That money is being used to fund the entire purse, which will be the largest in the world. The stakeholders will be allowed to sell their slots or strike other deals to secure a horse for the race.Under new rules for the race hashed out with the stakeholders during a meeting on Monday in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., each stakeholder will be allowed to enter an A horse and a B horse in the Pegasus when entries are taken on the Monday prior to the Pegasus, Rogers said. In the event of a scratch of the A horse, the B horse can be entered in the Pegasus. If the A horse stays in the Pegasus, the B horse will be allowed to run in the Poseidon, Rogers said, provided the stakeholders pay a $20,000 entry fee.While The Stronach Group was able to sell all 12 spots in the race relatively quickly after announcing plans for the race in mid-May, many of the details about the running of the race, including scratch rules, had not yet been set. The meeting Monday was called to discuss unresolved details with the stakeholders, Rogers said.Under the rules communicated Monday, any stakeholder whose horse is scratched on race day from the Pegasus for a certified veterinary reason will be eligible to receive the last-place portion of the races purse and still share in the net revenue from the race, Rogers said. If the horse is scratched by the owner or trainer after the 8 a.m. scratch time on the Saturday of the race, then the stakeholders share of both purse and revenue will be forfeit, said Rogers.Were looking at it this way because its to everyones benefit to have 12 horses in the race, Rogers said. Its important to have all 12 horses.Rogers also said that the stakeholders discussed a redistribution of the purse in the race, but unlike the scratch rules, the redistribution will need to be approved by all 12 stakeholder groups because the current distribution was explicitly outlined in an agreement the stakeholders signed when they provided their initial $200,000 deposit in late May. Rogers said he intends to send a letter out this week asking the stakeholders to formally approve the redistribution.Under the redistribution proposal, the purse for the top-three positions will remain the same at $7 million, $1.75 million, and $1 million, respectively, but a small portion of the purses for the fourth through 12th spots will be redistributed to the fourth and fifth spots. Any horse finishing out of the top three in the Pegasus had been guaranteed $250,000, but the proposal will reduce that to $200,000 for the sixth through 12th places to redistribute the additional money to the fourth and fifth positions, Rogers said.Rogers said the intent of redistributing the portion upward is to incentivize finishing fourth or fifth because The Stronach Group wants to offer a superfecta and super high five on the race. Racing regulators generally support larger purse awards for fourth and fifth place in races with wagers tied to those positions so that riders continue to encourage their mounts to the finish line.The meeting on Monday was led by Frank Stronach, Rogers said, while his daughter Belinda, who was recently made chairman and president of the family company, was also present. All of the stakeholders but Paul Reddam were present for the race, which is why the purse redistribution was not immediately approved, Rogers said, requiring the formal letter.Were not going to make any changes that dont get 100 percent, unanimous consent, Rogers said.Rogers also said that the stakeholders at the meeting asked The Stronach Group to provide them with the names of other individuals who contacted the company about securing a berth in the race, to supply the stakeholders with contacts to target if they intend to sell their berth in the Pegasus. Seven stakeholders do not own a horse that would be competitive in the race, and Stronach Group officials said recently that they had significantly more interest in the race than the 12 announced stakeholders.Fake Jordan .

In the first innings in Kanpur, Indias sixth wicket added 52 and the last 41. In response New Zealand lost their last five wickets for seven runs. In Kolkata, Wriddhiman Saha led the lower-order fightback, taking India from 200 for 6 to 316. In the second innings, India have exceeded those last two comebacks by converting 106 for 6 into 227 for 8. New Zealands leading bowler, Trent Boult, though, feels they are not doing much wrong against the lower order.Not necessarily, Boult said when asked if they could have done much differently to prevent another frustrating resistance from Indias lower order. We are trying to apply the pressure for as long as we can and not let off at all throughout the whole innings. But we know and realise they are going to put partnerships together, and we just cant afford to get frustrated by that. It is still a challenge as a bowling unit to not drift and release that pressure, but it is something we are trying to get much better at.Some of it could be put down to the exhaustion in the heat. I have to put these down as some of the tougher conditions Ive ever played in in my career, Boult said. Im not too sure what it looks like on TV, but it is pretty taxing. Obviously the dryness in the wicket and in the air is pretty tough. The last session is probably the easiest session in terms of heat. [But] You are just sapped by the time that comes around.The guys did extremely well to put the balls in the areas we did and apply that pressure. It was spoken in the huddle that we werent just going to let them drift away with the game with a figure in mind. We wanted to put pressure on them and make them earn every run. I think we did very wwell.ddddddddddddThanks to Jeetan Patel and BJ Watlings batting at the start of the day and the six early wickets, New Zealand fought their way back, but perhaps it was that deficit that meant India werent under the pressure New Zealand would have wanted to put them under. It was mostly on day two that they let the game slip with Indias lower-order runs and their own collapses with rain and bad light around.Its very disappointing but that is done now and we cant do anything about it, Boult said of the second day. They had some good conditions there last night to put us under pretty big pressure with the ball. Bhuvi [Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who took five wickets] bowled very well, and that has played a big part in the game. But we are not just going to roll over, weve fought very nicely to get ourselves back in the position we are in now.Boult said New Zealand would need every bit of skill with the bat to fight back again in this Test. We have the guys with the ability to bat long periods of time, Boult said. In terms of the wicket there is a little bit of variation in bounce and that is obviously going to be in the back of a few of our minds. We have to take it small steps at a time. If we can tick off our goals of trying to bat for half a session, then a session and just keep them out there and try to build like that. Anything that is set is definitely achievable.They could learn from Jeetan Patels innings in the morning, Boult said. He did very well. Its his first in a wee while and to come back and play an innings like that was good to watch. The rest of us can take a leaf out of his book and try to apply yourself like he did because they were valuable runs. ' ' '
