All race day test samples (post-race and TCO2) collected from contenders in the 2025 Breeders' Cup held Oct. 31-Nov. 1 at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club have been cleared by the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit (HIWU) and purse distribution has begun accordingly, the organizer said in a press release on Friday. In 2025, the Breeders' Cup was run for a third year under the full jurisdiction of the Horseracing Integrity & Safety Authority (HISA), including the Anti-Doping and Medication Control (ADMC) Program, which took effect in May of 2023 and is administered and enforced by HIWU. As was the case under Breeders' Cup's anti-doping and medication control rules that were in place before HISA's ADMC Program was implemented, the vast majority of medication is prohibited within 48 hours of the 14 Championship races and the undercard. All potential Breeders' Cup competitors were also subject to out-of-competition testing for banned substances leading up to the two-day global festival of racing. The post HIWU Clears Race Day Samples From 2025 Breeders’ Cup World Championships appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

By Michael Guerin Nobody loves consolation prizes. They are nice and all and even more so when they come with winning part of the $200,000 stake Friday’s Allied Security NZ Pacing Free at Addington did. Leap To Fame won that lion’s share with his lion’s heart carrying him to the winner’s circle just days after his humungous second in the IRT New Zealand Cup. Most horses would have still been at home, having an nice nap in the Canterbury sun, but Larry did what Larry does. He got up, went to work and as almost always happens when he is able to lead he won, holding out Republican Party and Merlin. This was a Group 1. No small deal and yet for Leap To Fame it was the “other” race he wanted to win this week. You could tell as much as co-trainer Trista Dixon got Larry ready to leave Addington, as well as herding the kids while husband Grant was out on a catch drive in the last race. “It has been a great week and obviously we didn’t get the Cup but he still went so well so we were really proud,” says Dixon. “It is lovely to pick up this race and show everybody he still has it, which we never doubt. “But I think he is looking to get home. He will fly to Sydney and have a night at Robbie’s (Morris) stables and then be home by I think Wednesday. “He has been away from home for a long time and has done such a wonderful job.” Leap To Fame looked like a horse who had been away from home for ages. We all know how it feels. You get tired, miss your routine, things just become that little bit harder. And sitting parked for 3200m in a New Zealand Cup wouldn’t have done a lot for his sense of humour either. So yes we didn’t see the absolute best of Leap To Fame in the Free-For-All on Friday. But even below his peak, tired after Tuesday and ready to go home, he won a Group 1 beating the best pacer in New Zealand this spring and the Free-For-All defending champion. He achieved most horse’s career highlight as an afterthought. Thanks for coming Larry, get home safe. View the full article -

By Michael Guerin There isn’t much Robert Dunn hasn’t achieved in his career. He was winning the biggest pacing Cups decades ago and Diamond Racing then started adding big trotting success to their arsenal just a few years ago. But now, when he should be in the twilight of his career, the man known as “RJ” has found another special horse, this time to share with daughter-in-law and training partner Jenna and his son John. Because Got The Chocolate is the real deal. He has to be because he shouldn’t have been able to do what he did in The Velocity at Addington on Friday, sit three wide then parked and beat a very good horse in Marketplace. And for good measure tear 1.4 seconds off the 1980m mobile three-year-old national record, all after never seeing the marker pegs. It was the third straight time Got The Chocolates has bested Marketplace after playing second fiddle to him for the first year of their careers. Make no mistake, there are no excuses and no arguments: Got The Chocolates is our best three-year-old pacer. Not by much, but by enough. “That was very special because it was such a great race, what racing needs,” said Dunn. “He has always been a good horse but when he had no gate speed it made it so hard on him. “But we added a nose roll to his gear which helps him concentrate better behind the gate and that has helped him get handier early. “But of course he is also bigger and stronger. He is just a better horse than he used to be.” The pair will clash again in next Friday’s NZ Derby for which Got The Chocolates is now incredibly the $1.45 favourite, with Marketplace at $3.20, odds which would have seemed impossible at the start of this campaign. “We are so thrilled to have a horse like him for Ross and Angela (Gordon, owners) and we will get him home tonight and get him into the surf tomorrow to help him recover.” Safely through the next Friday’s Derby, Got The Chocolates could even tempt Team Dunn to look at a race like the Chariots Of Fire at Menangle in March, a track that would suit his racing style but might charge his some hefty tax for his lack of gate speed. “We haven’t campaigned one in Australia for a long time but maybe this horse could change that,” says RJ. HIs incredible form resurgence also suggests that whoever wins next Friday’s Derby could be named New Zealand Three-Year-Old Pacer of the Year. Just another unbelievable possibility this most wild of Cup Weeks has raised. View the full article
