    • Leaving it late to extend her unbeaten record on Sunday, the Wertheimers' Green Spirit (Kingman) was in front where it mattered at the death in Deauville's G3 Sky Sports Racing Prix Six Perfections. Successful twice at Saint-Cloud in May and June, the Christopher Head-trained homebred needed every yard of the seven-furlong trip to reel in the Albany third Balantina (Ten Sovereigns) but was favoured by the bob to register a short-head success as The Aga Khan Studs TDN Rising Star Narissa (Siyouni) finished 1 1/2 lengths away in third.

    • An entirely different proposition away from home soil, Wathnan Racing's Fallen Angel (Too Darn Hot) regained Danny Tudhope and her mojo on Sunday to pick up the winning thread again in Deauville's G1 Prix Rothschild. Benefitting from the reestablishment of a connection that had been ruptured after her success in the Irish 1,000 Guineas last May, the 10-1 shot outstayed the 8-5 favourite January (Kingman) to prevail by a head for a first success in these silks. Start Of Day (Night Of Thunder) was 1 1/2 lengths away in third. “Toughness is her strong point–I was a bit worried about the ground, but it had dried a bit and she handled it fine,” the winning rider said of the winner, who had also garnered the Moyglare Stud Stakes in Ireland as a two-year-old and had gone four starts winless since her Classic success. “She's been an absolute superstar for me and I'm grateful to be back on her. I have to thank Wathnan and the team at Karl Burke's.”   The post Fallen Angel Finally Rewards Wathnan Investment In The Rothschild appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Gestut Ebbesloh's G3 Preis der Winterkonigin victrix Nicoreni (Brametot) finished second in both prior starts this term and she put her head in front where it mattered most and provided trainer Peter Schiergen with a fifth renewal of Sunday's G1 167th Henkel-Preis der Diana (German Oaks) at Dusseldorf. The 68-5 chance, runner-up in May's G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen and June's G3 Diana-Trial, tracked the leaders in sixth for most of this 11-furlong Classic. Bustled along with a quarter-mile remaining, she came under sterner urging thereafter and was driven out to deny long-time leader Innora (Lord Of England) by a half-length in a bunch finish. Nyra (Isfahan) kept on well in the closing stages and was a short-head back in third, while the international challengers Garden Of Eden (Saxon Warrior) and Spirited Style (Sea The Stars) where unable to land a telling blow and finished ninth and tenth, respectively.   The post Ebbesloh Homebred Nicoreni Annexes Fifth Preis der Diana for Peter Schiergen appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Francis Graffard trainee Cankoura (Persian King) was last seen running third in June's G1 Prix de Diane and bounced back in style to register a first pattern-race triumph for her second-crop sire in Sunday's G3 Sky Sports Racing Prix de Psyche at Deauville. The 3-5 favourite was steadied off the tempo in sixth after an alert break from the outside stall. Stirred into action soon after turning for home, she quickened smartly to launch her challenge entering the final furlong and ran on strongly in the latter stages to comfortably outpoint Life Is Beautiful (Night Of Thunder) by 3/4-of-a-length. Zia Agnese (Romanised), carrying a three-pound penalty for her G3 Prix Cleopatre success, kept on well to finish a head adrift in third. Pedigree Notes Cankoura, who becomes the first pattern-race winner for her second crop sire, is the fifth of eight foals and one of four scorers out of dual Group 2-winning G1 Prix Vermeille second Candarliya (Dalakhani), herself a full-sister to Listed Prix Scaramouche victrix Canndera and a half to multiple stakes-winning GII Belmont Gold Cup Invitational, GIII Stars And Stripes Stakes and GIII Sycamore Stakes placegetter Canessar (Kendargent). The January-foaled homebred grey is a half-sister to G3 Prix de la Grotte victrix Candala (Frankel), the dual stakes-placed Carini (Siyouni), the hitherto unraced 2-year-old colt Candizal (Zarak), a yearling colt by Siyouni and a weanling filly by Baaeed.   The post Prix de Diane Third Cankoura Bounces Back in Style to Annex Deauville’s Prix de Psyche appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • What Darwin Cup Day 2025 Where Fannie Bay Racecourse – Dick Ward Dr, Fannie Bay NT 0820 When Monday, August 4, 2025 First Race 11:52am ACST Visit Dabble Cup Day at Fannie Bay features a 10-race program on the sand (Good) with the rail true and fine conditions. First jumps at 11:52am ACST; the Darwin Cup is Race 10 (5:30pm, 2050m, $200k). Expect typical Darwin dynamics: on-speed/handy runners can be hard to catch, but strong, sustained closers are lethal late at 2000m+. Darwin Cup tip: Hadouken Last year’s Cup winner Hadouken sets up beautifully to go back-to-back over 2050m. He arrives race-fit after taking the Chief Minister’s (1600m) on July 12 and draws barrier 3 to secure an economical run behind the speed. With 58.5kg under the handicap, he meets several key rivals fairly and brings the ideal Darwin profile: tractable, tough, and able to quicken on the sand. Expect a positive ride from Blake Shinn to hold a pair or three back the fence before peeling at the 300m. Feature Tip Race 10 – #3 Hadouken (3) 7yo Gelding | T: Peter Robl | J: Blake Shinn (58.5kg) Best Bet at Darwin: Dakota Lee The Top End’s sprint queen Dakota Lee returns to her pet 1000m and simply brings superior ratings to this field. Even lumping 63kg, her gate speed and Fannie Bay record make her the one they must pass. With Blake Shinn partnering Zourata and a couple of others injecting tempo, expect genuine speed—perfect for Dakota Lee to stalk, then unleash her trademark 400–200m burst. She’s 4:3-0-0 at the trip locally and handles firm sand. If she begins cleanly and lands within two lengths of the lead, her class should carry her late. Best Bet Race 4 – #1 Dakota Lee (5) 7yo Mare | T: Terry Gillett | J: TBC (63kg) Next Best at Darwin: Stormfront Stormfront brings the right platform into the 1600m handicap. He’s a seasoned Fannie Bay miler with a sustained finishing style, and the booking of Blake Shinn is a significant plus. From gate eight he can slide across to a stalking position one-off, avoiding kickback before building from the 700m—exactly the pattern that wins at Fannie Bay- and especially here on Cup Day when pressure comes early and often. He cops a +2kg penalty, but his current ratings say he can absorb it. With a clean run into the bend, Stormfront should prove strongest through the last 150m. Next Best Race 6 – #4 Stormfront (8) 5yo Gelding | T: Peter Robl | J: Blake Shinn (60kg) Monday quaddie tips for Darwin Darwin quadrella selections Monday, August 4, 2025 1-2-5 1-2-3 1-4 2-3-5 Horse racing tips View the full article
