Juan Hernandez, Phil D'Amato and Spendthrift Farm were the leading jockey, trainer and owner, respectively, during the Santa Anita Autumn Meet which concluded Sunday, Oct. 26. It was a ninth jockey's title at Santa Anita for Hernandez, who posted 28 wins from 92 runners (30.4%) and was also tops among jockeys with eight wins in stakes company and $1,707,338 in purse earnings. Umberto Rispoli was runner-up in the standings on 19 winners from 79 mounts ( 24.1%). Among Hernandez's biggest wins at the meet were 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Explora (Blame) in the GII Oak Leaf Stakes and closing-weekend scores aboard Test Score (Lookin At Lucky) in the GII Twilight Derby and Warming (Global Campaign) in the GIII Autumn Miss Stakes. “I'd like to thank all the trainers and owners again, for all the support they give me. They trust me to ride their horses,” said Hernandez, a 33-year-old native of Veracruz, Mexico. D'Amato was taking down his eighth crown as top trainer at Santa Anita, with highlight victories in the GII John Henry Turf Championship with the evergreen Gold Phoenix (Ire) (Belardo {Ire}) and Mission of Joy (Kitten's Joy) in the GII Rodeo Drive Stakes. D'Amato saddled 13 winners from 54 starters (24.1%). “I love it here,” D'Amato said in a winner's circle ceremony Sunday. “We focused on having a big second half of 2025 and it has worked out thus far. Hopefully it continues to Santa Anita Winter. I always tell everybody you are only as good as your help. I've got super assistants at Santa Anita, at Los Alamitos and in Kentucky. It is a total team effort, from good help all the way down. I'm only as good as my help. You can see I have some great people behind me and they make it easy for me every day.” Spendthrift was represented by four winners from seven starters, highlighted by the GIII Chillingworth Stakes won by their 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Tamara (Bolt d'Oro), a leading chance in Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. Racing resumes at the Great RIP with the start of the 2025-2026 Classic Meet on Friday, Dec. 26.

Siblings to the top-class performers Emily Upjohn, Sea Of Class and Dreamloper (Lope De Vega) feature among the potential highlights in the catalogue for the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale, which takes place on Monday, November 24. Lot 75, a Sea The Stars full-brother to the G1 British Champions Fillies and Mares Stakes and G1 Coronation Cup heroine Emily Upjohn, and lot 76, a Sea The Stars full-brother to the G1 Irish Oaks and G1 Yorkshire Oaks scorer Sea Of Class, both feature in the 24-strong draft from The Castlebridge Consignment. Another by Sea The Stars is Mount Coote Stud's half-sister to the G1 Prix d'Ispahan and G1 Prix du Moulin winner Dreamloper, who will go through the ring as lot 95. Baroda Stud will offer lot 124, a Kingman half-brother to the G1 Matron Stakes scorer Pearls Galore (Invincible Spirit), and lot 196, a Cracksman half-sister to the G1 Melbourne Cup victor Cross Counter (Teofilo). In total, there are siblings to 75 Group and Listed winners, with the others including lot 28, Galloway Stud's Pinatubo half-sister to the Irish Oaks heroine You Got To Me (Nathaniel), and lot 160, a Kingman half-brother to the G1 Prix Saint-Alary winner Jannah Rose (Frankel) from Q-Cross Stables.

Taylor Stakes heroine Blond Me (Tamayuz), while lot 131, a Pinatubo filly out of the G1 Irish 1,000 Guineas and G1 Yorkshire Oaks scorer Pleascach (Teofilo), is another from the Baroda Stud draft. Lot 177, a Mohaather colt out of the champion racemare Taghrooda (Sea The Stars), is also worthy of a special mention, featuring in a six-strong consignment of well-bred individuals from Shadwell Estate Company Limited.

I wonder how far the straight can be angled outwards when all of the carparking outside the Otaki track has been sold. Likewise with adding stabling, would they be going in between the 400-600 affordable homes that are going to take up just a tick under 150 acres space currently being used for stabling? -
