It has been a routine that in most cases, the winner of Breeders’ cup Juvenile has been horses that may be aged over three years. Under this, the under 3 years of age have had no place in the tournament as it has been only 12 under three winners in the last 52 events. Texas Red a three year old horse will be looking forward to take his tally to two wins and a second consecutive one after he won the title last year. It will take him extra effort to beat the standing history which has been in existence for a century. Most notably is that in the past 20 years, two juveniles Street Sense and Favorite Trick are the only horses to be crown winners.

The main thing that has shown less wins for under threes has been attributed to early retirement that may occur due to injuries. Recently, Texas Red was deemed to take an early retirement only to appear 100% later on. He finished second during the Dwyer and it showed that he would prove doubters wrong come this year’s edition.

Being physically fit would be the key issue here as the smaller Jim Dandy course would pose a strong arena for all. Frosted would come back to the track and will be ready to avoid in silly mistake that would deem him a failure. Despite having bad moments at the Belmont, Materiality is deemed to be back on form whereas Japan who comes on a brick of two amazing wins is expected to pose a great threat to Texas Red and others.

It will be a tough challenge to Texas Rd but will have an extra advantage as experience would play a major role here. His jockey Kent Desormeaux who is a veteran and skilled rider would have his skills put on practice here. The two are deemed to be the best partnering ever and this would accelerate their motivation in winning the race.

If Texas Red displays his ultimate performance which he showed at the Arlington Park the previous summer, he is more expected to top the table and be crowned the winner. He would however be ready and focused to rewrite the standing history this weekend.

According to an Australian newspaper, “The Australian” Ladbrokes and bet35 feature that is called the ‘click call’ is under investigation. The investigation is being carried by the International Police commonly known as the Interpol. This features has seemingly draw controversies across the betting arena.

The case was referred to the International Police by the Australian Federal Police who had been given the directive to carry out the investigation on the bookmakers by the Australian Communication and Media Authority that is abbreviated as (ACMA). The Australian Federal Police have decided to refer the case to the Interpol as the websites in Australia were apparently all operated remotely by the bookmakers. The Police are now investigating another bookmaker William Hill whose website was operated locally unlike the other betting service providers.

The Authorities in Australia have investigations underway on claims that this bookmakers that are of British origin are acting in violation as they had breached the laws on the Gambling Act of 2001. This law prohibits the betting on five platform although it allows the betting on a by use of phone for betting. The feature was first launched by Ladbrokes Australia and William Hill in the month of April. Since its establishment it has brought controversy mirroring other live betting functions as it enables customers to be able to connect to team markets all through a microphone.

Other bookmakers in the UK have said that the mechanism they use is under the Gambling Act Provision of 2001, where the wagers by the customers are only processed if the customer approves of the selections they have made. ACMA responded to this by posting new guideline that the call feature did not involve other service providers that has customers using the normal telephone services which is a requirement according to the act.

In this month the ACMA proceeded to pass the investigation to the Federal Police with claims that it was a breach to the laws of the nation and they were the right force to handle this as the communication agency could not advise on the matter. With this the UK bookmaker will therefore be forced to drop the feature that it offers to its customers until the matter has been sorted out.
