  • NEW Fireworks at Chairman’s Sale on Record Night

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    Following record metrics at the 2025 Inglis Sydney Weanling Sale, a glittering night at Riverside saw Gr1 The Everest-winning Pride of Dubai mare Bella Nipotina etch her name into the history books as one of the most valuable mares ever sold in the Southern Hemisphere, fetching a stunning $4.2 million at the Chairman’s Sale. The reigning Everest champion was bought by her breeder and part-owner, Michael Christian of Longwood Thoroughbred Farm, who purchased the remaining 50% ownership stake to bring the mare home to Victoria. “It’s been an incredible journey… and it’s a great thrill to be able to bring her home where it all started,” said an emotional Christian, who noted the deeply personal attachment his family, especially wife Siobhan, felt to the mare. For Christian, securing Bella Nipotina wasn’t just a financial move – it was about preserving a legacy. “At the end of the day it’s a lot of money, but we owned half of her and now we own 100%,” he said. “Hopefully over the next 10 or 12 years we’ll be repaid financially but also with the joy that we’re going to get watching her progeny.” Her trainer Ciaron Maher added, “It’s so fitting that Bella can go back to Longwood where it all started… such a big end to her career with all the glitz and glamour of the Chairman’s Sale.” Bella Nipotina topped what proved to be an extraordinary session of selling, marked by a series of record-breaking achievements. The sale set a new Southern Hemisphere benchmark with an average price of $706,883 per lot, up 18% from last year, and reached a record gross of $54.43 million – over $9.5 million more than the previous high. Ciaron Maher Racing led all vendors by gross, clearing all eight of its offerings for a combined $12.78 million. Fourteen mares sold for seven figures, the highest in Chairman’s Sale history. Among them were Amelia’s Jewel ($3.8m), Tiz Invincible ($2.8m), Estriella ($2.8m), and Too Darn Lizzie ($2.4m), all of whom helped underscore the strength of demand and depth of international interest across the buying bench. Coolmore emerged as the sale’s leading buyer, acquiring three elite mares for $9.4 million and capping their night with the final lot – Amelia’s Jewel – who was knocked down for $3.8 million. “We’ll get her an airplane ticket and send her to Justify in America now,” said Coolmore’s Tom Magnier, confirming she would visit the Triple Crown winner on Southern Hemisphere time. Segenhoe’s Peter O’Brien, who consigned Amelia’s Jewel on behalf of her owners Peter and Annie Walsh, said the decision to sell at Chairman’s was instantly validated. “The catalogue was so strong and then the types were so strong to match, all the right buyers were here and you could just feel it,” he said.

  • NEW Inglis Bloodstock CEO Hails Special Night

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    Thursday night’s Chairman’s Sale delivered a blockbuster result for Inglis, with CEO Sebastian Hutch hailing it as a night of extraordinary success, energy, and emotional resonance. The event celebrated the achievements of elite fillies and mares in a highly charged atmosphere that turned a commercial setting into something far more memorable. “This sale is about celebrating the careers of elite fillies and mares and having their merit recognised in a commercial environment, while also creating an occasion that allows for special memories to be made,” Hutch said. Reflecting on the night, Hutch credited the atmosphere and the calibre of offerings for making it one of the most rewarding editions in recent years. “It’s hard to imagine how the night could have worked out much better than it did – there was an incredible buzz in the auditorium and the sale was full of energy, which in turn captivated the audience of buyers and other attendees,” he said. “We were afforded an incredible opportunity with the support that we were given for the sale with quality stock, but the results have been overwhelmingly positive.” He paid tribute to the wider Inglis team, especially the bloodstock and marketing departments, whose tireless preparation underpinned the event’s success. “Our team has worked incredibly hard in building up this sale and the fruits of their efforts are very much in evidence tonight,” Hutch noted. With Thursday night now in the books, attention turns to the Australian Broodmare Sale at Riverside, which concludes the week’s action. “It’s just been such a fun night, not only as a horse sale but as an event and I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t excited by what we might be able to achieve with the sale in 12 months' time,” Hutch said. “We now focus on [Friday], the Australian Broodmare Sale will wrap up a great week of action here at Riverside and there are more quality buying opportunities on offer.’’ The Broodmare Sale catalogue features 105 mares, including those in foal to sires such as Alabama Express, Maurice, Dundeel, So You Think, Tassort, and Zousain. The value of the Australian Broodmare Sale is reflected in its impressive alumni. Dams of top-level performers including Stefi Magnetica, Zougotcha, Veight, Southport Tycoon, Another Prophet and Kimochi were all sourced through the sale. Since 2018, Inglis breeding stock and digital sales have produced the dams of 66 individual Australian Group 1 winners, including Home Affairs, Stay Inside, Giga Kick, Knight’s Choice, Shinzo, Hayasugi and Imperatriz.

  • NEW Wootton Bassett Stud Fee Sets AUS Record

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    High profile current 1st season Australian sire Wootton Bassett has surpassed Redoute's Choice and Extreme Choice as the most expensive stallion to ever stand in Australia, after Coolmore announced on Thursday that the Ifraaj sire’son’s 2025 fee has been set at $385,000 (inc GST), according to tdn.com.  A published fee of $330,000 (inc GST) was the previous record, first set by Redoute's Choice when he stood at Arrowfield Stud in 2007 and 2008. Earlier this year, Newgate Farm announced that Extreme Choice would match that fee in 2025, a significant increase on the $275,000 (inc GST) he stood for in 2024. Due to stand his fourth season in Australia, Wootton Bassett returns to NSW having made an excellent start with his first crop of juveniles bred in the Southern Hemisphere, headed by Gr1 Golden Slipper runner-up Wodeton and State Visit, who filled the same position in the Gr1 Inglis Sires'. That first crop was conceived when shuttle stallion Wootton Bassett stood for a fee of just $71,500. “Wootton Bassett is the hottest stallion in the world at the moment and he is already making an undeniable mark on the breed in Australia,” said Coolmore Australia's Tom Magnier last month, confirming the son of Iffraaj's return to Jerrys Plains in the Hunter Valley. “What is most exciting about him in an Australian context is that he has 100 unraced 2YOs from his first crop and every trainer we speak to seems to have a good one. We're just excited to have him back again, as we see him as a champion sire of the future in Australia.” In Europe, Wootton Bassett is responsible for 11 Group winners from his first crop bred at Coolmore's Fethard base. They are now 3YOs and include the top-level winners Camille Pissarro, Henri Matisse, Tennessee Stud and Twain, with the first-named pair due to appear in Sunday's Poule d'Essai des Poulains at ParisLongchamp. Himself a French Champion 2YO, Wootton Bassett was Europe’s Champion 2YO Sire for 2024 and is sire of the highest priced colt in European history of 4.3 million gns, the equivalent of over AUD $9 million.

  • Militarize Appears Over the Odds

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    If one looks purely at his 10th place finish of 20 runners on paper last time out in the Gr1 Doncaster Mile, there would be no reason to think the C J Waller trained Militarize (Dundeel-Amerindia, by Dubawi) could record his first victory since returning to racing after his failed stud career, but to see that he was only a length and a quarter off the winner Stefi Magnetica (All Too Hard) should surely suggest he could finally be back on track. Blocked for a run when charging in the Doncaster, it was great to see the multiple Group 1 winner show the zest for racing he showed as a 2 and 3YO where he was successful at the elite level on three occasions. Likely to start at double figure odds on Saturday in the Gr2 Hollindale Stakes (1800m), Militarize has only raced past 1600m once in his career and that was when finishing just over two lengths off Romantic Warrior in the Gr1 WS Cox Plate (2040m), form that would surely hold up here. Stablemate Lindermann (Lonhro-Self Esteem, by Stratum) has drawn barrier 13 of 14, and is a horse that likes to race forward, ensuring there will be even pace on here. In exceptional form, finishing third, second and fourth at his last three Group 1 starts, all behind Via Sistina, the Woppitt Bloodstock-bred and raced gelding has race fitness on his side and could just give nothing else a chance here with many of the runners possibly looking for 2000m later during the Carnival.

  • Infancy Chasing Consecutive Stakes Wins

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    Having won the Gr2 Sapphire Stakes (1200m) last start, the Kirs Lees-trained 4YO mare Infancy (Wandjina-Childhood, by Lonhro) looks to have the right form lines to play a leading role in Saturday's Listed Takeover Target Stakes (1200m) at Gosford's standalone meeting. Defeating Godolphin's Commemorative (I Am Invincible) who went on to finish a narrow third at her next start in the Gr1 Robert Sangster Stakes while the third placed Lady Laguna (Overshare) continued her solid form with third next time out in the Gr3 Hawkesbury Crown, the Australian Bloodstock raced Infancy goes into Saturday's sprint second up from a spell, a position where she has solid form. While she does rise a kilo on her last start effort, she still appears well off at the weights in what appears a very open race. The current favourite is the Joe Pride trained Accredited (All Too Hard-Well Credentialled, by O'Reilly) who comes into the race first up from a spell off the back of two trials. In the top three on ten occasions from his 14 starts, the Milburn Creek yearling sale graduate does have two wins and two second placed efforts from four first up runs and looks capable of recording his first black type victory.

  • Female Goodwood Hat Trick Very Possible

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    With the victories of Royal Merchant (Merchant Navy) in 2023 and Benedetta (Hellbent) last year, there are six fillies and mare out to give the 'girls' three consecutive wins in the Gr1 Goodwood Handicap (1200m) at Morphettville come this Saturday. The weights are headed by 4YO mare Charm Stone (I Am Invincible-Najoom, by Northern Meteor) and 5YO mare Climbing Star (Zoustar-Bryony, by Fastnet Rock) who are interestingly the past two winners of the Gr1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m). While Climbing Star is yet to win a race since her victory in 2024, Charm Stone (see below) comes into Saturday's race ready to make it back-to-back Group 1 wins. Although Charm Stone carries the same weight she did in the Sangster, the interesting runner is Ameena (Tassort-Emaan, by Harbour Watch) who drops two kilos after her narrow defeat by Charm Stone, suggesting that if she can run to that level again, then she is right in this race. Finishing a length and a half behind Ameena when finishing fifth in the Sangster, the Will Clarken and Niki O'Shea trained Prairie Flower (Star Turn-Leotie, by Darci Brahma) drops four kilos from that effort and is another to be consider. The conditions of the race see $12m earner and Group 1 winner Giga Kick (Scissor Kick-Rekindled Applause, by Royal Applause) carry just 54.5kg and if he comes into the race fit and well, then the fillies and mares may be racing for second place.

  • My Racehorse Expanding its Kiwi Footprint

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    International microshare syndicator MyRacehorse has swooped on another emerging talent, securing the promising colt Engine Of War following a strong debut third at Waverley for Cambridge trainer Andrew Forsman. The son of Circus Maximus impressed in private jump-outs and did enough on raceday to convince the syndicator he was worth pursuing, according to NZ Racing Desk.m "We bought him about a week and a half ago," said Ben Willis, MyRacehorse's Australasian Managing Director. "We really liked what we saw, and Andrew was great to work with." The youngster was set to line up in the Listed Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre Stakes last weekend but was scratched as plans shifted toward a move across the Tasman. Engine Of War will now join Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr in Victoria, where a spring campaign is on the cards. "We're aiming to get him to Australia as soon as possible," Willis said. "The form around him looks strong – Spandeedo, who was behind him at Waverley, has since won well. And we're keen to see how Belzoni, the race winner, performs at Trentham." MyRacehorse has been steadily increasing its presence in New Zealand, buoyed by the success of Willydoit, the Tarzino gelding who stormed home in the Gr1 New Zealand Derby and later finished a commendable fourth in the Australian Derby. Trained by Shaun and Emma Clotworthy in partnership with Bryan Black and MyRacehorse, Willydoit has remained in Australia under the care of Ciaron Maher and is currently spelling in Queensland. "He's thriving," Willis said. "Another few weeks in the paddock and then we'll figure out his spring targets with the stable." The company's momentum in New Zealand shows no signs of slowing. "We've had a great reception," Willis added. "There's a lot of goodwill in the New Zealand industry, and the way you breed, educate and condition horses – especially those that get over ground – gives them a real edge." MyRacehorse recently bought a Contributor colt from Sharp Proposition at Karaka, with plans to keep him in New Zealand with the Clotworthys. Looking ahead, Willis confirmed the company is exploring ways to establish a more permanent footprint. "We'll be looking for more trainers, owners, and partners soon. We're excited about what's possible here."

  • Galileo's Armory Firing at Mapperley Stud

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    Mapperley Stud has confirmed that Armory, the Group 1-performed son of Galileo, will stand for a service fee of $10,000 + GST in 2025. Entering his fourth season at stud in New Zealand, Armory has already made a strong impression with breeders, having served 350 mares across his first three books. His appeal stems not only from elite juvenile credentials but also his sustained class through his racing career in both hemispheres. "Breeders were attracted to his elite Group 1 form as a 2YO, where he won the Gr2 Futurity Stakes and Gr3 Tyros Stakes before placing in three Group 1 contests including a 2nd to Champion 2YO Pinatubo," said Mapperley Stud principal Sim Davison. That early brilliance translated into a high-level performance at three, notably his runner-up finish in the Cox Plate. "Breeders also like to see horses train on and that's exactly what he did – his run in the Cox Plate as a 3YO was enormous and proved he was among the elite middle-distance horses in Australasia. He continued to prove himself at the highest level against the best weight-for-age horses in the world." Armory was crowned Champion 3YO in both Ireland and Europe in his classic year, backed by a Timeform rating of 122, which he matched as a 4YO while earning the title of Champion Older Horse in Ireland. "We have been thrilled with the level of support shown by New Zealand Breeders, he's got great numbers on the ground and it was really encouraging to see that his first crop have found good homes and he will have a good representation in both New Zealand and Australia," Davison said. "There is a fantastic opportunity to breed to him this year, with a big crop of juveniles to run next season, he could be on the upward spiral by the time your foal arrives next year." Also flying the Mapperley flag is Profondo, the Group 1-winning son of Deep Impact who stands at Windsor Park Stud and covered full books in both his first two seasons. "Profondo was an instant hit with breeders and his popularity continued into his 2nd season where he covered another fantastic book of mares," Davison said. "We absolutely love his foals and you can see why breeders were eager to breed to him again last season, and we very much expect the same to happen again this year." A $1.9 million yearling and Group 1 winner at his third start, Profondo's future as a stallion looks equally bright.

  • Beadman All The Rage in Ken Russell Memorial

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    With only one interstate raider tackling this year's Gr3 Ken Russell Memorial (1200m) on the Gold Coast, it is no surprise see the Randwick-based Beadman (Snitzel-Iffranesia, by Iffraaj) start the short-priced favourite. Second on debut, with the winner since going down narrowly in Saturday class, and the third placed horse breaking her maiden next time out by four lengths, the Peter Snowden-trained colt has always had a boom – be it the name, or just the sheer talent he is showing at home. Breaking his maiden at just his second start when winning a maiden at Newcastle over 1250m, the James McDonald-ridden colt has headed north to chase elusive black type. Purchased from Arrowfield Stud's Magic Millions draft for $900,000 by China Horse Club, Newgate, Go Bloodstock and Trilogy, the stallion syndicate colt will jump from gate four, and while it is hard to line up the Queensland form with that of Beadman's form, one thing to note is that the stable has won this race more times in the last eight years than any other, while McDonald rode the winner last year. Impressive when making a winning debut, the well-related Fabulantes (Star Turn-Funtantes, by Easy Rocking) should prove worthy competition for the favourite. A full-brother to Gr1 Tattersalls Tiara winner Startantes (Star Turn), both out of the Gr2-winning Easy Rocking mare Funtantes, Fabulantes surely has pedigree on his side to make his presence felt.

  • Croupier Could Stack the Rough Habit Deck

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    Trainer Andrew Campbell was left more encouraged than disappointed following Croupier’s fourth-place finish on Australian debut at Eagle Farm last Saturday, a performance that has him forging ahead with confidence toward richer winter assignments. The promising Kiwi 3YO son of multiple Australian Group 1 winner Ace High had travelled across the Tasman on the back of two New Zealand victories and wasn’t disgraced in a competitive mile event, finishing just under a length off the winner with Mark Du Plessis aboard. “I thought it was a good run, maybe he (Du Plessis) should have hooked him out wide instead of going to the rail,” Campbell said. “I don’t think a horse won on the rail all day except for the last, so it probably wasn’t the best place to be. The big horse he is, he got held up at a vital stage too. He has only been beaten three-quarters of a length, so we are over the moon, and that is why we are still here.” The Ace High gelding has reportedly come through the run in fine order, according to loverqacing.nz, and will be aimed at next weekend’s Gr3 Rough Habit Plate (2000m) at Doomben, pending a start, before returning to Eagle Farm for the Gr1 Queensland Derby (2400m) at month’s end. “Croupier came through his run extra well,” Campbell said. “I gave him a little gallop this (Thursday) morning and he galloped really nice. We are hoping to go to the Rough Habit Plate next Saturday, providing he makes the field. I couldn’t be happier with him.” While Croupier chases classic honours in Queensland, Campbell will also unveil 2YO filly Hayworth at Trentham on Saturday. The Ace High youngster was purchased for $30,000 from Highline Thoroughbreds’ Book 2 draft at Karaka and will carry the familiar colours of owner Tommy Heptinstall. “We had sold her brother Caracas overseas, and he went really well. Unfortunately, he broke down, but he’s still Group 2 placed,” Campbell said. “We bought her as insurance. She was a nice, big, strong filly by Ace High that was going to take a bit of time, as they do.” Rated a $6 chance in the Ladies Man 2YO (1200m), Hayworth is expected to benefit from the outing. “She is going well, she’s not really a 2YO, we are just going to give her one run, and to lob into the money would be good,” Campbell said. “She’s a capable horse and she is going to make a really nice 3YO. Win, lose or draw, we’ll give her a nice six weeks out and get her ready for the spring.”

  • McLachlan Rings in the Changes at Tabcorp

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    Tabcorp is preparing to launch a new live betting feature in pubs and clubs, aiming to claw back ground lost to digital rivals by letting patrons place in-play wagers via its app. According to Australia’s Financial Review, he trial – it started on Thursday in two New South Wales venues – marks the first major initiative from CEO Gillon McLachlan, who revealed the plan at the Macquarie Australia Conference while also flagging further job cuts across the company. “I believe this is the future of wagering,” McLachlan said, noting the enthusiasm from Tabcorp’s extensive network of 3,700 licensed venues across NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory. Previously, placing a live bet during a match meant interacting with a staff member, self-service terminal or calling a TAB line, methods that have failed to keep pace with the frictionless experience offered by overseas operators. In contrast, 54 per cent of betting turnover in the US is derived from in-play wagering, compared with just 4 per cent for Tabcorp. Dubbed “tap-in-play,” the system enables users to tap their phone against a terminal or device within a participating venue to activate live betting through the app. The company plans to expand to 20 venues in the coming weeks to test broader viability, with hopes of tailoring offers by location or favourite teams through opt-in features. McLachlan said the product wouldn’t replace existing electronic terminals but would complement them, and that initial regulatory approval was granted thanks to Tabcorp’s retail licence in NSW. While 42 per cent of turnover currently comes from physical venues, the CEO sees potential for further growth if the trial succeeds. “The friction is taken out. We don’t need to own the AFL rights, we don’t need to own the NRL rights. We can talk through your screen, through data,” he said. This development coincides with more internal restructuring, with about 50 roles expected to be cut this week. It will bring the total to 300 since McLachlan took over in August, reducing the workforce to around ,1800. “I don’t sugarcoat,” he told the conference. “I am clear with the staff that will be the end of the changes for a minimum of 18 months.” The company is also negotiating with other states on expanding the tap-in-play model and plans to increase the global footprint of Sky Racing through its venue network. Despite not updating earnings guidance, McLachlan said consumer behaviour remained steady. Tabcorp posted a $1.3 billion revenue for the six months to December 31, a rise of 11 per cent, helped by its new Victorian licence. The market responded positively to the announcement, sending Tabcorp shares up nearly 10 per cent. However, the move is likely to draw criticism from gambling harm advocates, with federal plans to restrict advertising around live sports currently paused due to the recently held Federal election.

  • Wootton Basset Duo Tipped for JJ Atkins Run

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    Looking increasingly likely to claim the 2024-25 Black Type 1st Season Sire Premiership title, Coolmore Stud stallion Wootton Bassett now has another two juveniles that could represent him after both delivered eye-catching victories at Warwick Farm on Wednesday. Chris Waller has a familiar target in sight after Regulated Affair delivered on heavy expectations with a commanding performance at Warwick Farm on Wednesday, cementing himself as a live Gr1 JJ Atkins Stakes contender next month, reports punters.com.au. Sent out a dominant $1.45 favourite, the colt by Wootton Bassett took full advantage of barrier one in the Vinnie Three-Time Champion Sire Plate (1000m), responding late under James McDonald to put 1.25-lengths on Fernweh ($9) at the line. The effort prompted Waller to confirm plans for Brisbane’s winter carnival, saying post-race on Sky Racing that it was all part of the strategy: “We picked out this race and thought it would be a good stepping stone.” Waller believes the compact youngster has more to offer over extended distances: “He has a different sort of action. He is a small compact horse and gets his head down and likes to work. From his action 1200m to 1400m [is ideal] and hopefully we get him to 1400m and get the chance to go to a JJ Atkins.” The trainer, who’s previously won the race with Pressday (2010), Press Statement (2015) and The Autumn Sun (2018), now has Regulated Affair on the fourth line of betting at $11 for the Group 1 feature over 1600m at Eagle Farm on June 14. Also on track for a Queensland tilt, for which she holds a JJ Atkins nomination, is Wootton Bassett filly Agarwood, a $2.40 favourite who saluted stylishly on debut in the Schweppes 2YO Maiden Plate (1000m) for fillies at Warwick Farm. The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained youngster sat perfectly in transit before bursting clear in the straight to defeat Penpel ($13) and Sylph ($4.60) by 2.5-lengths. Bott suggested she was still improving and said a trip north could be considered: “She obviously keeps improving as she gets over further and whether Scone comes up a little bit too quick, but we could look at Queensland. Any black type is of benefit!.”

  • Meagher’s Caulfield Trio Out on a Lim

    Friday, 9th May 2025
    Dan Meagher’s return to Australian racing is about to get a serious push into the spotlight, with three horses bearing the familiar “Lim’s” prefix set to debut under his name at Caulfield on Saturday. It marks a new chapter for the former Singapore-based trainer, who has resettled in Victoria and brought a group of tried performers with him, headlined by multiple Group winner Lim’s Saltoro. All three runners – Lim’s Saltoro and Lim’s Ida in the Benchmark 100 over 1400m, and Lim’s Bighorn in the Benchmark 84 over 1200m – were previously trained by Meagher during his successful eight-year stint in Singapore, which ended in October. According to racing.com, In that time, he racked up nearly 600 winners, including 16 at [local] Group 1 level, many for long-time client Mr Lim Siah Mong. When relocating to Pakenham earlier this year, Meagher brought six of Mr Lim’s horses with him, including Saltoro, who boasts 10 wins from 13 starts and was runner-up in the Singapore Gold Cup last start. “He’s got a big reputation,” Meagher said, noting the horse was invited to the Hong Kong International Races last December, though the logistics proved too difficult amid the move. “I’m not 100 per cent sure where he fits in here, but I know he’s very smart and I’d be disappointed if he didn’t finish in the money.” Meagher is also eyeing Queensland features for Lim’s Saltoro, including the Gr1 Stradbroke Handicap. “His trials have been very good and he should run super,” Meagher said, hopeful the horse’s draw in barrier four can offset his six-month absence from racing. Lim’s Ida, another stable newcomer, has been off the scene even longer. “He’s a lovely old horse, probably just below the top tier in Singapore, but he’s trialled up well,” Meagher said. Meanwhile, Lim’s Bighorn, the youngest of the trio, arrives with six wins from 11 starts. “He’s very consistent and very fast; that’s his asset. I think he’ll run really well,” Meagher added. The trio will be racing in Australia for the first time after being floated to the track, so Meagher has already trialled them at Moe and Caulfield to ease the transition. Now based at Pakenham with 40 boxes and 25 in work, he’s enjoying life back home after years as foreman to his father John in Singapore and time spent working with brothers Chris and Paul. “I’m only 40 and I’m in for the long haul,” he said. “I’m loving the community and the facilities…”
