Home boys fly the flag as Redoute's Choice races away with first premiershipTHE 2005-06 season, which ended on Monday, proved what a great line-up of colonially bred stallions Australasia has to offer, with seven home-breds among the top 10 sires and magnificent results for several exciting freshman sires. Redoute's Choice has been the benchmark stallion, winning his first champion sire of Australasia title, with a $1.8 million margin, as well as being the leading sire of two-year-olds for the season. He led for most of the past four months and never looked like being headed, with Encosta De Lago filling the quinella. Encosta De Lago supplied more winners than any other stallion with 128 individual winners of 227 races.

Indian MP calls for Bahrain-India shipping serviceDubai - An Indian MP from Kerala has called for the resumption of a shipping service between Bahrain and India for the benefit of low-paid Indian workers in that Gulf country. Pannyan Ravindran of the Communist Party of India (CPI) has said that he will submit a petition signed by 20 MPs from Kerala to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking resumption of the services, according to a report in the Gulf Daily News newspaper. Ravindran, according to the report, has said that the shipping services were necessary as the present airfares between India and Bahrain are almost the same as those on the India-Europe sector, which the low-paid workers cannot afford. Though a passenger ferry service was launched between the Gulf and India in 2001 by a Bahraini firm, it had to be subsequently cancelled as the vessel could not get a sea-worthiness certificate from India's Mercantile and Marine Department. read more.
