Riccarton mud bath avoided as racing bosses get flexible
Punters who bet into the meeting before the switch have had those bets refunded and the meeting was re-opened for betting with scratchings put back into the fields on Thursday night. What punters end up with is a meeting certain to go ahead while the trainers chasing valuable black type with their two-year-olds in the Champagne Stakes at least know they will have a fairer surface. The Champagne Stakes remaining black type had to be approved by the Pattern Committee, the group charged with maintaining the quality of New Zealand black type racing. 'The switch to the synthetic has to be a good move because I don't think punters enjoy seeing horses trying to handle a Heavy 10 if they don't have to,' says Cambridge trainer Tony Pike, who has Lucy In The Sky in the feature. 'Sure, it probably helps our filly because I was worried about the very heavy track but in reality we would have struggled to even run the whole meeting on the turf. 'Taking my horse out of it I see no issues running a black type race on a synthetic track. You wouldn't do it every week but I think all round the right decisions have been made for the industry.' Lucy In The Sky comes out of the Group 1 Sistema Stakes at Ellerslie last start so drops enormously in grade today and while her $2.50 price last night wasn't enormous overs she could close significantly shorter today. Pike has a team of eight at Te Rapa today too and is confident of starting the day with a winner, he just doesn't know which horse. 'I think I can win Race 1 but I am not sure who is the better chance out of High Country or Poetic Justice,' he says. With the pair at boosted odds of $6.50 and $5.50 respectively smart punters looking for an early TAB account bump could do worse than backing them both. The Te Rapa meeting also holds a black type juvenile race as those opportunities start to run dry for the babies but it has a far more even feel, with a Karaka Millions runner like Toretto against those who have emerged over the autumn. Across the Tasman there will be Kiwi flavour at both Eagle Farm (Queensland) and Morphettville (South Australia), with Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh having runners at both. Marsh has Roctave (R8, No.10) in the A$1million South Australian Derby while Tardelli, who was narrowly beaten against the older horses in the Easter at Ellerslie last start, contests the A$350,000 Queensland Guineas with Michael McNab to ride.

Tupac Murder Suspect Gives First Interview Since 2023 Arrest: ‘I'm Innocent'
Nearly two years after he was arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of ordering the 1996 drive-by shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur, Duane 'Keffe D' Davis has given his side of the story. In a jailhouse interview conducted by ABC News out Thursday, Davis insisted that he is innocent of any wrongdoing involved in Shakur's long-unsolved death. 'I'm innocent,' he plainly told the outlet. 'I did not do it.' Shakur, an acclaimed rapper, activist, poet and actor (his film credits include roles in John Singleton's 'Poetic Justice' and Ernest Dickerson's 'Juice'), was sitting in a car driven by Death Row Records founder Suge Knight on the Las Vegas Strip on Sept. 7, 1996, when a white Cadillac pulled up alongside them. A shooter in the Cadillac's backseat opened fire, spraying the other car with bullets. Shakur was hit four times and died six days later from his gunshot wounds. He was only 25. The crime, which shook the hip-hop world, went unsolved until Las Vegas police arrested Davis in Sept. 2023 and a Nevada grand jury indicted him on one count of murder with a deadly weapon. At the time, Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo said that authorities believed Davis is the man who 'ordered the death' of Shakur. Davis, who has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge against him, told ABC News he is a 'good man' who has moved on from his days as a gangster in Compton, California. 'I did everything they asked me to do. Get new friends. Stop selling drugs. I stopped all that,' he said. 'I'm supposed to be out there enjoying my twilight at one of my f—king grandson's football games and basketball games; enjoying life with my kids.' Vegas authorities' case against Davis is largely built on his own comments about Shakur's killing, compiled from multiple interviews he gave over the years, as well as remarks made in his 2019 memoir titled 'Compton Street Legend,' which Davis is credited as a co-author of alongside Yusuf Jah. Davis now not only claims that he did not co-write the book, but that he hasn't even read it. 'I just gave him details of my life,' Davis said of Jah. 'And he went and did his little investigation and wrote the book on his own.' He has walked back some of his past claims, including that he was sitting in the Cadillac that pulled up alongside Shakur and Knight's car. Davis now says that he was 'in Los Angeles' the night of the drive-by shooting and that he has 'about 20 or 30 people going to come' to his trial to corroborate his whereabouts. 'They don't have nothing. And they know they don't have nothing,' Davis said of those prosecuting him. 'They can't even place me out here. They don't have no gun, no car, no Keffe D, no nothing.' He further alleged that he was 'paid' to play up his involvement in Shakur's murder in his past media appearances and memoir and argues that any confessions he gave to the police are connected to a 'proffer agreement' he made with a Los Angeles task force in 2008 that granted him immunity in return for information. Claiming that he only told the police what they wanted to hear so they would 'let me go,' Davis added, 'I'm not even supposed to be in jail. A deal is a deal.' In his interview with ABC News, the he additionally accused Reggie Wright Jr., a former cop responsible for partly running Knight and Shakur's security operations the night of the shooting, of being the actual 'lead suspect' in the murder. Wright Jr. testified before the grand jury that indicted Davis and has said that he spent a large part of that infamous 1996 night in a club that Knight and Shakur were planning on visiting before the shooting. Wright has denied any involvement in the shooting that killed Shakur. Davis, for his part, insists that he will survive and come out the other side of his trial a free man. 'God got my back, and God will see me through this,' he told ABC News. 'He had my back with cancer, I survived the streets and the FBI. That's a big accomplishment for a man from Compton.' His trial is currently set for Feb. 9, 2026. Davis' comments come just a week after a male escort filed a lawsuit against disgraced music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs accusing him of sexual assault in 2012. The escort claims in his suit that Diddy subsequently threatened to have him killed the same way he managed to 'get Pac hit.'

Kim Kardashian's Secret Jackson Family Connection, Her Mystery Date Revealed
has always been open about her love for , but as it turns out, her connection to the music legend runs deeper than just fandom. On Wednesday's episode of "The Kardashians," as Kim Kardashian and her friends boarded her private jet to see Janet in concert, she opened up about why the pop icon holds such a special place in her heart. 'Janet means so much to me, more on like a personal level, than anyone could really imagine,' she told the cameras while dressed in an exact replica of the outfit Janet wore in her If music video. Then, she dropped the unexpected dating bombshell. 'I dated Janet's nephew for years and years in high school,' she revealed, referring to TJ Jackson. Their romance, she explained, actually started back in junior high. Kim's connection to the Jackson family didn't stop with her teenage romance. She was even invited to their legendary family game nights, although she admitted that one particular night left her mortified. 'One time, the entire Jackson family and me are playing Pictionary,' the now 44-year-old recalled. 'I was so nervous because Janet was like, my everything.' Caught up in the moment, Kim completely flubbed her turn, mistakenly drawing a 'right angle' on the board instead of something related to her actual word, 'angel.' Luckily, the Jacksons were kind about her nerves. 'Jermaine came up to me afterwards, and was like, 'Baby girl, the word was 'angel,' but I felt so bad for you that we're gonna let you have this point,'' she laughed. 'I wanted to melt.' The moment clearly stuck with her, as she jokingly concluded, 'So she will always be my angle. My little angle.' Kim Kardashian's admiration for Janet Jackson has been no secret, and she took her fandom to the next level at the singer's Palm Springs concert in June 2024. Kardashian attended the show wearing the exact outfit from Jackson's iconic 'If' music video, a look she had purchased at auction in 2021 for a cool $25,000 in honor of Janet's 55th birthday. The 44-year-old reality star turned business mogul, and aspiring lawyer made quite the statement, donning the famous black crop top and bell-bottom pants ensemble. Kardashian, along with sister and mom , attended the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's concert, where they were seen dancing and singing along to hits like 'Again' from the "Poetic Justice" soundtrack. Kardashian originally won the outfit at Julien's Auctions, where over 800 items from Jackson's career were sold. At the time, the pop legend even acknowledged Kardashian's purchase, responding to her Instagram Stories with, 'Thank u so much @kimkardashian. I hope 'If' gives u as much pleasure as it did me. Kim's influence on fashion extends beyond her own wardrobe. Her shapewear and loungewear brand, SKIMS, has become a powerhouse in the industry, known for its inclusive sizing and focus on comfort and style. SKIMS' success has been driven by Kim's ability to tap into current trends while also setting them, blending practicality with a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that aligns with her personal style. She's also known for her memorable fashion moments, like wearing Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress at the 2022 Met Gala or showcasing vintage and archival pieces, as she did with Janet Jackson's "If" music video outfit. Launched in 2019, SKIMS quickly gained popularity for its focus on inclusivity, comfort, and body positivity. The brand offers an extensive range of sizes and a diverse palette of skin tones, catering to a wide array of body shapes and shades. Initially, SKIMS started as a shapewear brand, but it has since expanded into everyday essentials, including bras, panties, loungewear, swimwear, and even menswear. The brand's product lines often sell out quickly, thanks in part to Kardashian's massive influence and savvy marketing, which often includes campaigns featuring real people and diverse models. New episodes of "The Kardashians" are available to stream on Thursdays on Hulu.
