It's currently stallion trail season and, following the inaugural National Hunt showcase in Britain and last weekend's Irish Stallion Trail, over the next two days it is the turn of the original. Twenty-one studs across the north-west of France will open their doors on Friday and Saturday for La Route des Etalons, allowing access to 84 stallions from both codes. This is the 17th year of this popular promotional event which is now firmly etched in the diaries of many breeders each year. From Haras d'Etreham close to Bayeux down to Haras du Mesnil near Le Mans, a wide range of historic farms are included on the route, which takes in some fine countryside along the way. It is worth consulting the website for opening hours and show times for each farm. This year all participating studs are open on both Friday and Saturday. A new name on the list is Benoit Jeffroy's Haras de Castillon, which is standing the new stallions Tribalist and Marhaba Ya Sanafi alongside Romanised, Thunder Moon and Texas.

New stallion Provocateur (by Into Mischief) has his first foal, a filly out of the winning Cassidy's Reward (Warrior's Reward) who was born on Monday, Jan. 19 at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds, the farm said in a release on Thursday. A multiple-stakes winner and Grade I placed competitor, Provocateur is a full-brother to GSW One Liner and SP Roderick. The McMahon stallion counts as a half-brother 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard', & GII Wood Memorial Stakes hero Rodriguez (Authentic). According to the Jockey Club of America, Provocateur covered 44 mares during his inaugural season last year. Cassidy's Reward is half-sister to multiple stakes winner and stakes producer Shine Upon (Congaree) and to GISP Keep the Peace (Touch Gold). Her extended female family includes MGSP Brigand (by Flatter).

by Renee Geelen/TTR AusNZ Australia's best-credentialled yearlings have been catalogued for the 2026 edition of the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, with 472 lots heading through the ring on March 29 and 30. With 11 yearlings by Extreme Choice and the Snitzel colt from champion mare Winx as headline acts, Inglis is equally thrilled about the depth of the catalogue. Across the catalogue, 259 lots (55%) are the progeny of or siblings to stakes winners, with 80 of those being a half-sibling to or out of a Group 1 winner. For the first time in recent years, the catalogue is filly-heavy with 245 fillies and 227 colts, and there are 64 individual stallions with yearlings representing them across the whole 472 lots. Extreme Choice's Sensational Statistics Extreme Choice had only 44 live foals in 2024 and one quarter of them will be available to purchase at the 2026 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale. The sire of 17 stakes winners, six at Group 1 level, from just 146 runners will be represented by 11 Easter yearlings. “Something that particularly excites me about the catalogue is that this will be the best group of yearlings ever assembled at a sale by a generational stallion in Extreme Choice,” said Inglis CEO Sebastian Hutch. “He's got 11 yearlings in the sale, all of whom are the progeny of or siblings to black type horses, as far as I know. He's a horse we are particularly proud of as he's a Classic Yearling Sale graduate. In itself, this is one of a number of incredible opportunities at the sale, and it's a particularly pertinent one given his capacity to deliver so frequently what it would appear the market really wants. “He's had three Group 1 winning 2-year-olds from a little over 100 runners. His sons are destined to go to stud. His statistics are just incredible.” Extreme Choice has sired G1 Golden Slipper Stakes winner Stay Inside, whose oldest runners are currently 2-year-olds, G1 Blue Diamond Stakes winner Devil Night, and G1 Champagne Stakes winner She's Extreme who also won the G1 Victoria Oaks at three. “Obviously the domestic market is very aware of his merit, but from the point of view of the catalogue appealing to a series of international investors, I think he's a very important feature of the sale.” All of the 11 are out of black type mares, with ten winning stakes races. The filly, Lot 117 is out of Group 1 winner Speak Fondly (Northern Meteor) who is the dam of Listed winner Compelling Truth (I Am Invincible). Of the six colts, Lot 71 is a half-brother to Group 3 winner English Riveria (Deep Field) out of juvenile stakes winner Second Time Lucky (Any Suggestion), while lot 436 is from the family of Jonker and Danewin, out of Group 3 winner Exfactor (Your Song). Born to Be a Stallion Prospect Two years ago, the Inglis sale ring at Riverside was lit up with the mind-blowing sale of Quinceanera (Pierro), the first foal of Champion racemare Winx (Street Cry), who sold for A$10 million. In 2026, Coolmore Stud, who sold both Winx and Quinceanera, will offer Winx's second foal, a colt by Champion Sire Snitzel. “It's an honour to have the opportunity to offer a horse like him. I saw him two weeks ago at Coolmore. He looks really well. He's obviously a 24th of November foal, but he's developing nicely. I know they're happy with them. “He's a very uniquely credentialled horse and we look forward to people seeing him at the sale and hopefully his preparation goes well. Everything's gone to plan with him so far, and hopefully everything goes well with the balance of preparation and people enjoy seeing them at the sale. “He's a horse with the profile to captivate the market.” Winx, who won 37 races including 25 at Group 1 level and was crowned Australian Horse Of The Year on four occasions, is out of juvenile stakes winner Vegas Showgirl (Al Akbar) who has also produced two other stakes winners and the dam of G2 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint winner Enriched (I Am Invincible). Easter Is about More than One Horse “More generally, the quality of the catalogue is really incredible,” added Hutch. The progeny of 64 different stallions are represented in the sale, with Snitzel leading the crowd with 43 lots, while I Am Invincible has 41 and Zoustar has 35. The breadth of commercially successful stallions with yearlings at Easter also includes stallions like Extreme Choice, Too Darn Hot, Ole Kirk, Wootton Bassett, Home Affairs, Stay Inside, Super Seth, The Autumn Sun, Harry Angel, Per Incanto, Street Boss, Written Tycoon, Toronado, Exceed And Excel, Dundeel, Maurice, Justify, Alabama Express, Castelvecchio, Hellbent, Savabeel, Proisir, Pinatubo, Starspangledbanner, and Satono Aladdin. Internationally recognised stallions like Frankel, Baaeed, Gun Runner, Kingman, Lope de Vega, New Bay and Siyouni all have representatives in the sale. “That's an incredible concentration and quality, and that's before you go into the depth of pedigrees,” he said. “It might be granddaughters of great racemares or half-siblings to great racemares that produced yearlings in the catalogue. “You just have to skim through the catalogue, turning the pages is pretty cool for a bloodstock enthusiast. We all wait to see what's going to be in the green book.” The post Extreme Choice Brings Global Appeal To Inglis Easter appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) seeks public comment on proposed modifications to the Rule Series 5000 (Equine Testing and Investigation Standards) and 7000 (Arbitration Procedures) of its Anti-Doping and Medication Control (ADMC) Program by Monday, Feb. 23, the regulator said via a press release on Thursday. The proposed modifications build on HISA's ongoing review of the ADMC Program. In November, HISA distributed for public comment proposed modifications to other Rule Series comprising the ADMC Program (1000, 3000 and 4000). Comments received in response to that request are under review by the ADMC Committee. The proposed updates to Rule Series 5000 and 7000 of the ADMC Program include: Clarification regarding the sample collection process; Introduction of voluntary, non-binding mediation in proceedings before the Arbitral Body; Expanded access for Owners to intervene in cases before the Internal Adjudication Panel. A memorandum summarizing the proposed modifications is available here. A full draft of the proposed revisions in PDF redline format is available here. The redline reflects proposed updates compared to the version currently in effect and approved by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Comments should be sent to HISA Assistant General Counsel Sam Reinhardt at Samuel.Reinhardt@hisaus.org with the subject line “Proposed Rule Modifications–Rule Series 5000 and 7000.” Alternatively, comments may be mailed to HISA at 201 East Main Street, Suite 340, Lexington, KY 40507. Following the expiration of the public comment period, the ADMC Committee, in consultation with the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit, will review and consider all relevant feedback before recommending proposed modifications to the HISA Board. If approved by the HISA Board, the proposed modifications would then be submitted to the FTC.
