    • Sunday, Tokyo, Japan, post time: 15:40, JAPAN CUP-G1, ¥960,400,000, 3yo/up, 2400mT Field: Justin Palace (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), Croix Du Nord (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Cosmo Kuranda (Jpn) (Al Ain {Jpn}), Deep Monster (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), Sunrise Earth (Jpn) (Rey De Oro {Jpn}), Ho O Biscuits (Jpn) (Mind Your Biscuits), Danon Beluga (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}), Calandagan (Ire) (Gleneagles {Jpn}), Seiun Hades (Jpn) (Silver State {Jpn}), Struve (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}), Admire Terra (Jpn) (Rey De Oro {Jpn}), Yoho Lake (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), Brede Weg (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Danon Decile (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), Masquerade Ball (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}), Shin Emperor (Jpn) (Siyouni {Fr}), Tastiera (Jpn) (Satono Crown {Jpn}). TDN Analysis: Although Calandagan is the highest-rated horse in the world at the moment, conquering the Japan Cup will not be a breeze. A trio of Japanese Derby winners also line up in 2025 victor Croix Du Nord, Danon Decile (2024) and Tastiera (2023). Also, joint-second in the 2024 Japan Cup were the scratched Durezza and Shin Emperor, and the latter has returned to go one better on Sunday. Click here for the complete field.

    • Godolphin homebred BELLA BALLERINA (f, 2, Street Sense–Pretty City Dancer, by Tapit), whose lone previous trip to the post resulted in a 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard-worthy debut sprinting over six furlongs at Keeneland Oct. 5, successfully stretched out to two turns Saturday afternoon, hitting the front at midstretch before holding off a late lunge from fellow 'Rising Star' Atropa (Into Mischief) in the GII Golden Rod Stakes at Churchill Downs. The winner earns 10 points on the 2026 Road to the Kentucky Oaks. Bet down from a morning line of 10-1 to be just over 4-1 at the off–in large measure owing to the scratching of 'TDN Rising Star' and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies runner-up Explora (Blame)–Bella Ballerina caught a flyer from the outside stall and was soon in front, but that was short-lived as the undefeated New York-bred Letmecounttheways (Yaupon) speared through and went winging on the front end through unsustainable fractions of :23.45 and :46.31. With the pacesetter odds-on to feel the pinch as push came to shove, Bella Ballerina found herself in the right spot to have first crack, and they hit the lead as Letmecounttheways predictably hoisted the white flag. Atropa, a 10-length maiden winner first-time long in her most recent start, began to make inroads as did local maiden winner Just Singing (Justify). The half-sister to champion and GI Kentucky Oaks winner Pretty Mischievous (Into Mischief) began to tire with a sixteenth of a mile to race, shortening stride noticeably, and despite swapping over to her left lead late, managed to scrape home in the nick of time. Essential Coffee (Nyquist) stumbled at the break from gate two, tossing jockey Corey Lanerie. Neither horse nor jockey was injured. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0.

    • She shipped in all the way from New York, but it ended up worth her while as Just Aloof (Justify–Aloof (Ire), by Galileo {Ire}) strode home best of all to claim the GIII Jimmy Durante Stakes at Del Mar. A winner at first-asking last out Oct. 16 during the Belmont Big A meeting, she topped a stablemate exacta that day and left the gates here as the 3-1 favorite. Not quite able to make the pace, she stalked from second through a quarter in :22.63 and a half in :47.21 before taking commanding coming off the turn. She refused to come back to the field once she struck the front. Latte Luv (Constitution) ran on well to get second and there was a dead-heat for third.

    • 'TDN Rising Star presented by Hagyard' Further Ado (Gun Runner), a jaw-dropping, 20-length maiden winner in his two-turn debut at Keeneland Oct. 10, took care of business as the 3-5 favorite in Saturday's GII Kentucky Jockey Club S. at Churchill Downs. Universe (Global Campaign) was second; Soldier N Diplomat (Army Mule) was third. Placed in a tracking fourth through fractions of :23.35 and :46.76, Further Ado made a three-wide bid approaching the quarter pole, and, after a long drive, fought his way past Solider N Diplomat in deep stretch to collect 10 points on the road to the Kentucky Derby. He had 1 3/4 lengths over the rallying Universe at the wire. The final time for 1 1/16 miles was 1:43.33. A $275,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase, Further Ado was hammered down to the Spendthrift braintrust for $550,000 after breezing a quarter-mile in :21 1/5 at this year's OBS April Sale.
