Friday, Newmarket, post time: 14:57, THE BET365 FILLIES' MILE-G1, £528,750, 2yo, f, 8fT Field: Amora Queen (Ger) (Waldgeist {GB}), Composing (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Dance To The Music (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Evolutionist (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Legacy Link (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Moments Of Joy (Justify), Moon Target (GB) (Cracksman {GB}), Precise (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Queen Of Hawaii (Ire) (Kingman {GB}), Sugar Island (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Venetian Lace (Ire) (Masar {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Following her wins in the Prestige and Moyglare, Precise is queen bee here with the step up to a mile unlikely to be any problem based on the stamina-packed dam's side. Aidan O'Brien sent Love here in 2019 following her win in that Curragh contest and she was only third, but there is so much to like about the way this filly has been going through her races so far. Juddmonte's Legacy Link is a relative of Frankel and despite the promise of her Haydock novice win has quite a bit to find with the Ballydoyle first-string, while Godolphin's Sweet Solera winner Dance To The Music has to overcome a recent trip to Canada where she was unlucky in the Natalma. Queen Of Hawaii had the re-opposing Ballydoyle understudy Moments Of Joy 2 1/4 lengths back in second in The Curragh's Flame of Tara and is also in the mix. [Tom Frary]. Friday, Newmarket, post time: 14:25, THE THOROUGHBRED INDUSTRY EMPLOYEE AWARDS CHALLENGE STAKES-G2, £125,000, 3yo/up, 7fT Field: Audience (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), Beauvatier (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Poet Master (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Cosmic Year (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Scoville (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}). TDN Analysis: Cosmic Year's year has been in-and-out, but it's probably about next year with him and a win here would provide a nice confidence boost for the son of Passage Of Time whose contrasting fortunes can be summarised by a second in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and last-of-four finish in Goodwood's Thoroughbred Stakes. Despite boasting a tally of two Group 3s and four Group 1 placings, Beauvatier has always threatened to be better and is simply the best horse in this race if it all comes together. [Tom Frary]. Friday, Newmarket, post time: 16:45, THE NEWMARKET PONY ACADEMY PRIDE STAKES-G3, £85,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 10fT Field: Ambiente Amigo (GB) (Postponed {GB}), Charlotte's Web (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Frances Ethel (SAf) (Rafeef {Aus}), Karmology (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}), Miss Justice (GB) (Justify), Skellet (Ire) (Kingman {GB}), Falakeyah (GB) (New Bay {GB}), Sand Gazelle (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Spirited Style (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Victory Queen (GB) (Kingman {GB}). TDN Analysis: This marks the belated return of the impressive Listed Pretty Polly Stakes winner Falakeyah, who has not been seen since finishing down the field in the Coronation Stakes. A distant fourth in the Pretty Polly, Sand Gazelle split Red Letter and Barnavara in the Snow Fairy at The Curragh in August and it may be that she is an entirely different proposition to the filly who was beaten so far here in May. [Tom Frary]. Friday, Newmarket, post time: 13:50, THE GODOLPHIN LIFETIME CARE OH SO SHARP STAKES-G3, £65,000, 2yo, f, 7fT Field: Blingy's Sister (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Calendar Girl (GB) (Advertise {GB}), Classic Cuvee (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Coming Attraction (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Midnight Tango (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Mood Queen (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), Mubasimah (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Senorita Vega (Ire) (Lucky Vega {Ire}), Shady Dame (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Tavana (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}). TDN Analysis: Runner-up on debut here to the subsequent Rockfel winner Zanthos, Classic Cuvee went one better in a hot Doncaster maiden last month and is an exciting prospect for the 2026 Classics. She meets the Weatherbys Scientific £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes winner Calendar Girl and the recent course-and-distance one-two Mubasimah and Shady Dame who emanate from top stables with in-depth understanding of what a good filly looks like. [Tom Frary]. Friday, Newmarket, post time: 13:15, THE NEWMARKET ACADEMY GODOLPHIN BEACON PROJECT CORNWALLIS STAKES-G3, £65,000, 2yo, 5fT Field: Revival Power (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}), Aspect Island (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), Beckford's Folly (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Brussels (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Chairmanfourtimes (Ire) (Nando Parrado {GB}), Argentine Tango (GB) (Mattmu {GB}), India Love (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Our Cody (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), Palmeira (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Spicy Marg (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Wor Faayth (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Revival Power's rivals will be hoping that a penalty for her Flying Childers win can stop her, as there doesn't seem much hope otherwise given how strong she looked at Doncaster. Ballydoyle's Brussels drops in trip after his solid Middle Park second, but he has done little so far to suggest he can live with the flying filly at this distance. Spicy Marg beat the King Power runner in Goodwood's Alice Keppel, but may not have made the same progress in the interim. [Tom Frary]. Friday, Dundalk, post time: 16:50, IRISH STALLION FARMS EBF LEGACY STAKES-Listed, €28,500, 2yo, 5f (AWT) Field: Howd'yadoit (Ire) (Nando Parrado {GB}), Jack The Bachelor (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Kansas (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Namiid (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), Sir Alfie (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Sirius A (Ire) (Palace Pier {GB}), Ipanema Queen (Ire) (Sands Of Mali {Fr}), Aegina (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), By The Lake (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Strait And Narrow (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), Tornado Kiss (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), Treasured Royal (Ire) (Nando Parrado {GB}), Xerling (Ire) (Sioux Nation). TDN Analysis: Rescheduled from last Friday, this sees Ballydoyle switch out their original runner Controlled for the Flying Childers runner-up Kansas who was fifth in the Middle Park. Ipanema Queen beat him in the Listed Curragh Stakes in August and is better than her last run when down the field on soft ground in Ayr's Listed Harry Rosebery Stakes. [Tom Frary]. Friday, Dundalk, post time: 19:00, IRISH STALLION FARMS EBF STAR APPEAL STAKES-Listed, €28,500, 2yo, 7f (AWT) Field: Andab (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Controlled (Ire) (No Nay Never), Eleven A (Ire) (Calyx {GB}), Frescobaldi (Ire) (No Nay Never), Which Wolf Wins (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), Fairy Oak (GB) (A'Ali {Ire}), Inbox (GB) (Ectot {GB}), Lookingforarainbow (Justify). TDN Analysis: Also rescheduled with a different look, this features Ballydoyle's gelding Controlled who was due to run in the Legacy last week and instead moves up two furlongs following his success in first-time blinkers in a Naas maiden last month. He replaces the stable's original runner Straight Up and the Fillies' Mile-bound Moments Of Joy and faces the proven Andab, who was third to Albert Einstein and Power Blue in the Marble Hill in May, fourth in the Coventry and second in the Prix Francois Boutin. [Tom Frary]. Friday, Compiegne, France, post time: 16:03, PRIX CHARLES LAFFITTE-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, f, 10fT Field: Al Uqda (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}), Tajlina (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Al Dhaby (Fr) (Kingman {GB}), D'Ores Et Deja (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), Light The Ghost (Ger) (Waldgeist {GB}), Whataboutism (Fr) (Camelot {GB}), Azaniya (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Gaga Girl (Fr) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}), Sunshine Baby (Fr) (Areion {Ger}), Janey Mackers (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Place Fontenoy (Fr) (War Command), Heed (Aus) (Frankel {GB}). TDN Analysis: Al Asayl's G3 Prix Penelope victrix Tajlina has not been seen since running second in April's G3 Prix Cleopatre and Al Shaqab's G2 German 1000 Guineas runner-up D'Ores Et Deja was a last-out fifth in June's G1 Prix de Diane. They offer the best form on show here. Godolphin's Andre Fabre-conditioned Whataboutism finished ahead of Al Uqda in August's G3 Prix de Psyche and holds solid place claims, while Kostyantyn Zgara's German 1000 Guineas third Place Fontenoy is winless in eight starts and needs to find more to feature. The three-strong British challenge is an intriguing mix, with the George Boughey-trained Ffos Las maiden winner Heed pitched into black-type company off the back of that debut success at the end of August.

Every week, the TDN posts a round-up of the relevant Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) related rulings from around the country. The following rulings were reported on HISA's “rulings” portal and through the Horseracing Integrity and Welfare Unit's (HIWU) “pending” and “resolved” cases portals. Among this week's rulings, trainer Juan Munoz Cano has been suspended a combined 12 years and a combined $150,000 (including arbitration costs) for a series of clenbuterol positives spanning the end of last year and earlier this year, according to a final decision by an arbitral body whose ruling can be read here. The ban (a consecutive series of six, two-year suspensions) begins Oct. 7. Though the bronchodilator clenbuterol is classified by HISA as a banned substance, it is permitted for use for a maximum 30 days (within a six-month period) if accompanied with a valid veterinary prescription. Following administration, the horse in question is placed on the vets' list and unable to work or race until it tests clear. The separate cases are a mixture of post-race tests and out-of-competition tests involving six different horses. According to Equibase, Cano has been training since 2020, amassing 129 wins from 936 starts. His most successful year was in 2023, when he collected over $1.6 million in prize money from 32 victories. Also this week, trainer Eusobio Juarez has been suspended a year and fined a combined $18,000 (including arbitration costs) for possession of Diisopropylamine, a banned substance, on Jan. 29. The suspension beings Oct. 8. Diisopropylamine is a banned vasodilator, meaning it can widen the blood vessels and thereby improve blood flow. Diisopropylamine is also found in several everyday items like tobacco and beauty products, as well as hand sanitizer.

JCB Stables' Sarawak Rim (Arg) (Remote {GB}) will likely be the final horse trainer Ignacio Correas IV saddles before retiring to his native Argentina in mid-November when she goes postward in the Nov. 1 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff. The 4-year-old filly–beaten just once in five trips to the post in Argentina–worked four furlongs from the gate in :48.60 (6/22) Wednesday at Keeneland. Sarawak Rim won the May 1 G1 Gran Premio Criadores at Hipodromo Argentino De Palermo in her most recent race and she has been with Correas at Keeneland since July. “She's got talent and she has surprised me every time she has worked,” said Correas, who won the Breeders' Cup Distaff at Santa Anita in 2019 with Blue Prize (Arg). “She's going to be really good next year, but it will be for somebody else.” Correas has two more works scheduled for Sarawak Rim at Keeneland before shipping Oct. 23 to Del Mar where she will put in her final work for the Breeders' Cup. Colebrook Farms' Simply in Front (Summer Front) likely earned a trip to Del Mar with her win in the GI First Lady Stakes at Keeneland Saturday, but trainer Eddie Kenneally said he is still deciding for which race. “We are looking at Del Mar,” Kenneally said Wednesday morning. “It might be the GIII Goldikova or the GI Breeders' Cup Mile. The Goldikova would be the most logical spot.” Simply in Front would face off against the boys in the $2-million Breeders' Cup Mile, while the $300,000 Goldikova is for fillies and mares. Both races are Nov. 1.
