The all-consuming nature of working with racehorses got a little bit harder for trainer David Pfieffer when his second child decided to arrive the night before his stable star faced her toughest test.Pfieffers partner Lizzie gave birth to their son on the eve of the Myer Classic in which Denmagic put in a career-best effort to finish third in the Group One race at Flemington.The addition to their family prevented the proud father-of-two travelling to Melbourne and did nothing to lighten his workload.Its been hectic lately. Its been a hard slog, Pfieffer said.I had my foreman in Melbourne looking after Denmagic so Ive had a fair bit to do in the barn as well as stay on top of everything.But the hard work has been paying off.Aside from Denmagics gallant performances in Victoria which also netted two Group Two fourths, Ziggie Willie won the $80,000 feature at Canterbury on Friday night and the stable has Dixie Chick and Chestnut Road set to race at Rosehill on Saturday.Pfieffer is leaning towards the the fillies and mares benchmark handicap over 1400m, rather than the 1200m race for Dixie Chick.Dixie Chick was strong first-up when she flashed home late to grab second at Warwick Farm on September 21, but has encountered bad luck in two unplaced Saturday runs since.I think shes a horse that will probably be contending at stakes level, Pfieffer said.She probably deserves to have a few more wins next to her name.Pfieffer has booked Tye Angland for the 1400m race, while Tim Clark is on stand-by to ride if she starts over the shorter course.Youd like to think shell be a bit closer settling in the run and still have that great turn of foot at the end, Pfieffer said.Seven-year-old stablemate Chestnut Road, whose career has been restricted by injury, is entered in the colts, geldings and entires benchmark handicap over 1400m.Hes a horse that is better suited when hes on top of the ground as opposed to most horses who have had issues, Pfieffer said.Meanwhile Denmagic has gone to the paddock, with Pfieffer nominating the Coolmore Classic, Queen Of The Turf and the Doncaster Mile as potential Group One targets.One of her Melbourne fourths was in the Group Two Matriarch Stakes (2000m) on November 5, but Pfieffer said she was likely to race between 1200 and 1600m during autumn.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- The U.S. Olympic Committee and leaders of the effort to bring the 2024 Games to Los Angeles reached terms on a marketing agreement Friday, clearing a major hurdle nearly a year before those Olympics are awarded.The Joint Marketing Program Agreement would shift a majority of the USOCs marketing revenue over to the host city for a period surrounding the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee requires the agreement to eliminate crossover sponsorships -- for instance, the USOC pairing with one carmaker, while a host city pairs with another.The inability to reach an agreement on the marketing deals until the 11th hour played into the failures of both the 2016 Chicago bid and the 2012 New York bid.We didnt want it to become an issue, USOC CEO Scott Blackmun said. We made the decision, and realized that sooner is better than later.In some instances, host cities have received up to 90 percent of a national organizing committees sponsorship revenue.Most Olympic committees have been quick to sign the JMPA, knowing the surge in interest sparked by a home Olympics will lure new sponsors and, more importantly, that their national governments will step in too make up the difference.ddddddddddddBut in the United States, theres not as much room for growth in the sponsorship market, and the federal government has a long history of not providing funding to the USOC.That puts the USOC is a spot of not having any clear path to make up the sponsorship shortfall, which has historically accounted for between 20 and 30 percent of its revenues ($141 million last year) -- a good portion of which is used to fund Olympic athletes.So, the USOC has to reach a different sort of deal; in this case, it would likely sign over between 70 and 85 percent of its revenue to Los Angeles.The agreement wont be officially signed unless Los Angeles wins the bid at an IOC meeting next September. Its main competition is expected to come from Paris.The agreement figures to take a potentially fractious issue off the table, as Los Angeles enters the final stretch of the campaign.We talk repeatedly about what a high-quality partnership this is, and this is a demonstration of the quality of the partnership, USOC chairman Larry Probst said.
