Good decision by Greg Eurell to end Apache Cat's racing career. The great sprinter was racing below his best when he suffered that injury at Sha Tin last Sunday. GE says: 'He has a small fracture at the base of the sesamoid. There was a suggestion that an operation could be done but at his age we wouldn't do it to the horse. It's the first injury the horse has ever had, so we've been blessed with the run we've had with him.'Merging or not? Any merger of the Australian Jockey Club and Sydney Turf

Merging or not? Any merger of the Australian Jockey Club and Sydney Turf Club will not be known until next month. The merger benefits team comprising the two metro clubs and reps from Racing NSW, met officials from the State Government on Wednesday. 'The matter is very complex,' says Racing NSW chief Peter V'landys said.
