    • Have to admit I really enjoy out the gate.....due to the fact I don't watch it😁
    • Former European stallion Reliable Man has died in New Zealand, GaloppOnline reported on Thursday. The G1 Prix du Jockey Club-winning son of Dalakhani was 18. Gestut Rottgen's Frank Dorff told the publication, “This morning we received the sad news from New Zealand about the death of the stallion Reliable Man. He had to be operated on, unfortunately he had to be euthanized as a result of complications after the operation.” Bred by N. P. Bloodstock, the grey would win his first three starts in succession as a three-year-old, culminating in the 2011 edition of the Prix du Jockey Club. Third in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris, Reliable Man bounced back with a win in the G2 Prix Niel that September. Third in the G1 Prix Ganay first up at four, he wound up second in the G3 La Coupe de Maisons-Laffitte several starts later. Traveled to Canada and eventually Australia, his final victory was also his career finale, as he ran out a 2 1/2-length winner of the G1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick in the April of 2013. At stud, the son of On Fair Stage (Sadler's Wells) would spend several seasons at Gestut Rottgen in Germany and transfer to Haras du Thenney and Haras d'Annebault in France. He returned to Rottgen for the 2021 Northern Hemisphere breeding season and remained permanently in residence at Westbury Stud in New Zealand after the 2022 Northern Hemisphere breeding season where he shuttled beginning in 2013. His 29 stakes winners include 20 group scorers, among them G1 VRC Oaks heroine Miami Bound, G1 Railway Stakes victress Inspirational Girl, G1 Preis der Diana winner Erle, and G1 New Zealand Oaks scorer Miss Sentimental.

    • yes,thats all true But they have fun doing it. i think thats  the appeal to those that particpate in their betting pools. they are trying to entertain as well as punting.The personalities are the key. They have a good mix. And they have a lot of well known sporting guests on,that are entertaining. i enjoy the banter the out the gate people have with their guests.they even had hamish carter as a guest last night.Seeing those guests and showing said guests can enjoy things related to the racing industry,is sort of refreshing and i think thats part of why it works for me. A one off show once a week is just the right amount of out the gate type format.i wouldn't want any more of it myself,but i like it the way it is.
    • West Point Thoroughbreds, David Ingordo and Gabriel Duignan's REAGAN'S HONOR (c, 3, Honor A. P.–Rutile, by Medaglia d'Oro)–a horse with the fingerprints of the late John Shirreffs all over him–was forced to tackle older horses in his first go against winners Thursday afternoon at the Fair Grounds, but he passed the test with flying colors, leading past every pole en route to an easy seven-length victory. After touching 2-5 in the wagering, the $140,000 Keeneland September yearling was off to an awkward beginning as the 11-10 chalk, bumping with 5-2 Favorite Day (Volatile) to his inside, but from there he was able to make a fairly easy lead for Jose Ortiz. Past the half in :46.83 and well in hand after three quarters in 1:11.55, Reagan's Honor found plenty when asked passing the midstretch marker and strode well clear. Bred in partnership by David Ingordo and the late Jerry Moss, Reagan's Honor's sire was conditioned by Shirreffs for Lee Searing to a victory in the COVID-delayed GI Santa Anita Derby in 2020, while the Mosses raced dam Rutile–a half-sister to the Shirreffs-trained GI Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo (Holy Bull)–to a maiden win from three starts under the care of Brian Mayberry. Reagan's Honor is a logical candidate for next month's GII TwinSpires.com Louisiana Derby. Sales history: $140,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-0.

    • Shisospicy (Mitole), the champion female sprinter of 2025 and GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint heroine, has recovered from infection that forced her to skip last weekend's planned trip to Saudi Arabia. “Shisospicy, she's perfect now,” trainer Jose D'Angelo said of the 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard.' “I don't think that we have enough time to prepare in the way that we would like to go to Dubai, so we are on standby with her.” Last year's GI Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Bentornato (Valiant Minister), meanwhile, is on schedule to make the trip to Dubai for the $2-million G1 Golden Shaheen Mar. 28, per D'Angelo. “Bentornato is doing great. I'm very happy with his [last] workout. We are planning to leave for Dubai on the 13th,” D'Angelo said. “I'm very happy with them. I'm sure that they're going to have a good year. Hopefully, we can get the trophy here from Dubai.” The post Shisospicy ‘Perfect Now’ After Missing Trip to Saudi Arabia appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
