Ciaron Maher again proved himself an exceptional trainer of juveniles when exciting colt Unit Five, a son of Widden Stud sire Supido, claimed the Magic Millions 2YO Classic Jan. 17 at the Gold Coast.View the full article -
Yes. That's what I showed above as oncourse digital cf oncourse terminal. Clubs get a higher commission for digital on course turnover. -

Stoneriggs Farm has hit the ground running. In operation for just five years, Robert Slack's 600-acre property in Paris, Kentucky is the home of a 70-deep broodmare band. Slack reveals some of his 'Mating Plans' for the upcoming 2026 breeding season in this continuing series. BRANDONS DANGER (m, 9, Into Mischief–Natural Rush, by Indian Charlie), to be bred to Omaha Beach We're sending six mares to Omaha Beach. He's been a horse that we've bred multiple mares to each year. I think he'll go right to the top, he's a very sound sire. Every time you open the paper, you see horses by him winning at all levels. He's a very very good sire. We're breeding Brandons Danger to him. She's the dam of a Charlatan colt I C Light, who is two for two (on the turf) at Gulfstream this winter and is very impressive. She's an Into Mischief mare and it's a very good cross. PLATINUM PAYNTER (m, 10, Paynter–Platinum Preferred, by Vindication), to be bred to Constitution We have several mares going to Constitution, including Platinum Paynter. We've always done very well with Constitution babies. We sold a Jackie's Warrior filly (Psalm Beauty) out of her for $625,000 at the (Keeneland September) yearling sale. Her first runner (Coqueta Blue by Maxfield) is already a winner, too. She was an outstanding race mare and is an outstanding individual. CHESTNUT STREET (m, 12, Scat Daddy–Near and Dear, by Red Ransom), to be bred to Yaupon She's a nice mare by Scat Daddy. She won at Saratoga and we claimed her. Fortunately, we were the only claim in on her that day. We got her and retired her. She's been a very good mare. Her 3-year-old colt ('TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard') Local Knowledge (Yaupon) was very impressive, broke his maiden first time out with a 94 Beyer at Keeneland. I'M BETTY G (m, 12, Into Mischief–Lady in Ermine, by Honour and Glory), to be bred to Gun Runner I'm Betty G, who is the dam of (GI) Breeders' Cup (Juvenile Turf Sprint)-placed Governor Sam (Improbable) and also (MGSW) Pin Up Betty (Constitution), is going to Gun Runner. NEEDS SUPERVISION (m, 10, Paynter–Moroccan Rose, by Carson City), to be bred to Vekoma Needs Supervision was an excellent race mare, winning several stakes. She had a Life's Is Good colt in '24. We sold it as a yearling for $230,000 (at Keeneland September). We bred her back to Constitution and she had a Constitution filly in '25. She was late, so we didn't breed her back. In '26, she's going to Vekoma. AUTONOMOUS (m, 9, Quality Road–Circumspect, by Discreet Cat), to be bred to Liam's Map Autonomous is the dam of Teddy's Rocket (Liam's Map), who was very impressive (winning first out on grass at Saratoga last summer). He's enjoying the sunshine in Florida for the winter. She is going back to Liam's Map, sire of Teddy's Rocket. GREAT SISTER DIANE (m, 10, Will Take Charge–Private Ensign, A.P. Indy), to be bred to Curlin We've sold very well out of her. She's going to Curlin. (Editor's Note: Great Sister Diane's Quality Road colt of 2022 brought $725,000 at Keeneland September; her Quality Road colt of 2023 brought $325,000 at Keeneland September; and her Justify colt of 2024 brought $550,000 at Keeneland September). CHART (m, 9, Lea–Gauge, by War Front), to be bred to Justify We have Chart going to Justify. We just sold a Flightline short yearling for $290,000 (to Blue River Farm) out of her at Keeneland January. She is a Grade III winner from an established Claiborne family.

There's the good news: Rezasrolex (Bucchero) has won nine straight races, a streak that started way back on June 21, 2024. And there's the bad news: the 5-year-old gelding has run through all of his available conditions and is too valuable and too good to be dropped into a claimer. What that means is that trainer Joe Orseno now has no choice but to enter Rezasrolex in a stakes race. He's looking at the Feb. 14 Turf Dash Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs. “I know that it will be a step up,” Orseno said. “His numbers and his Ragozin sheet numbers say he's supposed to be competitive against those horses. I have some other really nice turf sprinters that I run in stakes and, on the numbers, he's in the same category. He just ran an 8 on the Ragozin sheets the other day and that's a good number for a turf sprinter.” Should Rezasrolex run next in the Turf Dash, the Tampa race should be a fascinating test that will pit a horse with an iron will to win against horses that may be a little more talented and more tested at the stakes level. “He's already handled the turf course at Tampa really well,” Orseno said. “Obviously, it will be a tougher race than the ones he's been running in. We'll go up there and give it our best.” Rezasrolex began his career at Belterra Park for trainer William Morey. After two starts there, Morey brought him to Gulfstream and dropped him into a Dec. 7, 2023, $16,000 claimer. Orseno thought the horse, who won one of his two starts at Belterra, had some talent and he is a big fan of his sire Bucchero. It didn't hurt that his owner, Robert Cotran, owns a piece of the stallion. In his Gulfstream debut, he won a two-turn race on the Tapeta surface by a head. Orseno decided to stick with what was working and ran him twice more in distance races. But after his horse finished a lackluster fifth in a Feb. 10, 2024 allowance race for Florida-breds, Orseno knew that it was time for a change. Never again would the horse run beyond 5 1/2 furlongs. “When we claimed him he went long and then when he went long for me the first time I just thought this isn't his game,” the trainer said. “He didn't move forward. He had needed a race and he should have moved up. He didn't. I told Robert, 'This horse is by Bucchero, and you know Bucchero. He primarily throws horses that are very fast.' It just so happens that this horse is 17 hands and he looks like a distance horse. But I thought that he's a fast horse and he wants to be fast. I decided that I'd play with his head a little bit and crank him up and see if we can get him to be fast. He wants to be a fast horse and I let him be fast. I train him like a Bucchero. I like to think that I've had enough of them that I have their numbers. They'll train and win on any surface and when you find their hole card they're a really good deal.” Once placed in races where he fit distance-wise, the new and improved Rezasrolex won two straight 5 1/2-furlong races on the Tapeta surface at Gulfstream. Then he was beaten in what would become his only loss in more than 20 months, finishing fourth. “The time he got beat, Edgard Zayas will tell you that he was sick that day and probably shouldn't have been riding him,” Orseno said. “He just thought, 'This is just a hang-on mount, let me ride him.' But the poor guy was so sick. He just didn't get the best trip. After that, the rest has been history.” The streak began with a 5 3/4-length win in a starter allowance race. His next six races were all on Gulfstream's synthetic track. Orseno, who was starting to have trouble finding races for Rezasrolex, switched him to the grass for a first-level allowance race at Gulfstream on Dec. 19 and the results were the same. He won by a neck. In his next and most recent start, he went to Tampa Downs, where he recorded his ninth straight win in a second-level allowance race, also on the grass. “It's been a lot of fun,” Orseno said. “At first, I didn't think about it much because he's had a few minor issues and we've had to space out some of his races. It's nine in a row, but it's been over almost two years. It's not like he's been running once a month and we've been panicking. It's been pretty cool to think about how hard it is to do something like that. We always knew that we were going to have to step up one day and put him in a tougher race and see what happens. But I've been finding the right spots for him and it's been working out great.” Orseno knows the streak won't last forever, and may end in his next start. “Obviously, I want to keep it going,” he said. “I wouldn't say I feel pressure. I just keep picking out good spots for him. It's not pressure, but it sure would be nice to keep this going. Now people are noticing him and he's becoming a little bit of a fan favorite. But I've been in this game a long time and I know that what he is doing is the impossible.” The post Rezasrolex, the Sport’s Hottest Horse, is Ready to Take the Next Step appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
