    • 2nd-AQU, $85k, Msw, 2yo, 1m, 11:48 a.m. ET MIRACLE (Curlin) gets his career started for a high-powered partnership that includes Jeff Drown, Gary Broad's Walmac Farm and Gainesway Farm. A son of one-time 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Cherry Lodge (Bernardini), a listed winner and Grade I-placed at the races, the Mar. 28 foal fetched $700,000 at Keeneland September last fall from bloodstock agent Mike Ryan, who bought the colt's yearling full-brother for $1.4 million this past September. Cherry Lodge is a full-sister to GSW Gala Award and a half-sister to GI Hollywood Futurity hero Stormello (Stormy Atlantic), Grade II winner My Best Brother (Stormy Atlantic) and Atlantic Voyage (Stormy Atlantic), the dam of two-time Sovereign Award winner Curlin's Voyage (Curlin). Flavien Prat has the call for trainer Chad Brown.

Third dam Ultrafleet (Afleet) also produced the MGSW and Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint hero California Flag (Avenue of Flags) and Cashmere (Cowboy Cal), the dam of GI Preakness Stakes hero Rombauer (Twirling Candy) and GSW Alexander Helios (Cairo Prince).

    • Jockey Rajiv Maragh rode his 2000th career winner Friday at Gulfstream Park, piloting Lazio (Bucchero) to victory in Race 3. “This feels pretty surreal when you think about the whole journey since 2000,” Maragh told Gulfstream media. “I've come a real long way. I've come from humble beginnings and to be able to achieve this milestone is pretty incredible. I've got to be really thankful for all the support I've had. You don't win 2000 by yourself. There are a lot of people behind the scenes.” After a two-year break from riding competitively in 2022, Maragh resumed riding at Gulfstream just over one year ago in Oct. 2024 with a goal to reach the 2000-win milestone. “This is a career milestone that I've really looked forward to as a short-term goal of mine,” he said. “To accomplish it, it's actually motivating. It creates the possibility that anything's possible, doing this at the highest level–Gulfstream's Championship Meet.” The post Jockey Rajiv Maragh Rides 2000th Career Winner appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
