Betfair Pretty Polly Stakes (Listed Race) | 3yo fillies | 1m2f | ITV/RTV
It’s not often you see a horse towards the head of the market for a recognised Oaks trial like the Pretty Polly on the back of a sole maiden defeat but Sea Karats is set to be an exception.
The 500,000gns yearling is a sister to John Porter winner Al Aasy and she looked unlucky not to justify significant support on her debut at Newbury, finishing third as 10-11 favourite.
The money poured in for Sea Karats that day and she would probably have won with a clear run as she picked up strongly when weaving her way through traffic, but it all came too late.
The largest field of candidates and issues since 2003 await New Braunfels voters, who on Saturday will select city council and charter amendments and New Braunfels and Comal independent school district trustees.
Comal County elections include mayoral and city council races in Garden Ridge and Bulverde, with Guadalupe County voters selecting city council members in Marion and school district trustees in LaVernia, San Marcos and Prairie Lea, which also features a bond measure.
Despite 14 candidates on local ballots, early voting was slow between April 19 and Tuesday. Elections Administrator Cynthia Jaqua said just 3,295 votes were cast at six county polling sites and 343 received through the mail as of Thursday.
In March, City Attorney Dennis Herrera announced a $100 million settlement with Recology over customer overbilling. The company says was due to an error in how it accounted for its revenues.
Two former top officials of that firm, however, are now charged criminally in an ongoing federal public corruption case. The allegations are that both former Recology officials were involved in bribing now ousted San Francisco Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru.
But records show it was one of those two officials, John Porter, who admitted to the overcharging at a meeting with city officials in December 2018.
Documents show that meeting came after Dawson herself raised questions just weeks earlier about how the company was factoring its revenues versus its expenses – a ratio that is key in determining rate hikes.

Candidates apparently spent more time campaigning than fundraising for spots on school boards and New Braunfels City Council, according to reports for the period leading up to Saturdayâs general election.
Thirteen of 14 candidates vying for city council and New Braunfels and Comal independent school district boards reported Monday as required by the Texas Election Code, covering the March 23-April 23 filing period.Â
Brittany Soto, the 19-year-old McQueeney resident and college student seeking a spot on the CISD board tallied the most donations â 54 totaling $2,655 â and council candidates Harry Bowers and Joy Harvey again outraised and outspent opponents in city council races.Â
