I think everyone did. But the overseers of said renovation fell well short of the required standard. Hence where we are now. At what cost? Add Hastings, more cost. And not just counted in dollars, but in loss of confidence, reduced participation, owners voting with their feet...and now we have a new shiny CEO of our industry regulator. Three new imports from Oz for that same body...and now a consultant team - quoted elsewhere as costing north of seven figures - can these new incumbents not find some ideas between them all? -

It is a haul from Turfway Park in Northern Kentucky to Zia Park in Eastern New Mexico, though it is understandable why the connections of Brotha Keny are sending him west for the Nov. 25 Zia Park Derby. The 1 1/16-mile dirt race is worth $300,000.View the full article -

Four additional wildcards, including G1 Preis der Diana second Spanish Eyes (Zarak), have been added to the Arqana Vente d'Elevage on December 6-9. Consigned as lot 248f, the mare was also placed in the GIII Robert G. Dick Memorial Stakes and the GII Beverly D. Stakes. She is a sister to group winner Sirjan (Zarak) and is also from the family of three-time Group 1 winner Sosie (Sea The Stars). Lot 248g is G3 Prix Fille de l'Air second Salmarak (Zarak). The five-year-old is from the family of Arc hero Peintre Celebre. In foal to Zarak is Ithaque (Oasis Dream) (lot 248h), who is out of the listed winner Eyeful (Muhtathir). Rounding out the quartet is Birdcall (Night Of Thunder), who is unbeaten in two starts. Set to sell as lot 248i, the juvenile won by four lengths on debut in October and then switched to the all-weather and won again. She is rated 92 and is kin to Group 1 winners Dream Of Dreams (Dream Ahead), Airwave (Air Express), Churchill, and Clemmie (Galileo). For the full catalogue, please visit the Arqana website.

The fourth annual Holiday Giving Campaign, run for the benefit of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA), is set to run the month of December to raise funds, the group announced Friday morning. Designed to raise awareness for accredited Thoroughbred aftercare and to support those organizations that ensure retired runners enjoy a good quality of life after their first career, the initiative raised $240,000 last year. This year the goal is to continue making a meaningful impact for Thoroughbreds in need and build on prior success. “We are thrilled to kick off our Holiday Giving Campaign and support the amazing work our 86 accredited organizations do every day,” said Emily Dresen, director of funding and events at the TAA. “Every gift made during our campaign makes a difference and contributes to our ability to provide safe and dignified transitions for Thoroughbreds when they retire from the track. We are encouraged by the excitement and generosity of our match sponsors and the industry's unified response to taking care of our equine athletes!” During the campaign, the TAA will unveil new daily match sponsors, including prominent leaders in the horseracing industry. Each sponsor will match all donations up to a set amount for their designated day. Announcements of match sponsors will be shared daily through industry publications as well as Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance's website, social media channels, and email list. Campaign updates will be sent to this mailing list along with additional information. Starting December 1, individuals interested in supporting accredited aftercare through the Holiday Giving Campaign can visit the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance website to make a donation, which will be matched by the daily sponsor. Donations of $50 or more will also receive a free 2026 Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance calendar, while supplies last. “Every Thoroughbred deserves a safe and meaningful life beyond the finish line, and Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance makes that possible through its incredible network of accredited organizations. Their work reflects the deep respect we all share for these athletes who give us so much,” said Terry Finley, president and founder of West Point Thoroughbreds. “Join us in supporting Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance's Holiday Giving Campaign–helping every horse transition into a rewarding new chapter is a mission we can all stand behind.” For more information, to sign up for the newsletter, or to make a donation to the TAA, please go here.

Group 1 winner Jantar Mantar (Palace Malice) looms large in the 18-strong G1 Mile Championship at Kyoto on Sunday. The dual top-level winner earned a victory over Gaia Force (Kitasan Black) in the G1 Yasuda Kinen in June, and found only that rival too good prepping for this contest with a second in the G2 Fuji Stakes. Trainer Tomokazu Takano said of the G1 NHK Mile Cup hero, “After his run in the Fuji Stakes Oct. 18, his heart and lungs had improved. He was just about in tiptop shape for his final fast work on Nov. 19, he just needs a few finishing touches. I gave instructions to get a time of 54-some seconds up the hill course and push him just enough to get a good response over the final furlong. And, that's exactly what we got. The horse knows the course, the jockey knows the course.” The ghostly grey Gaia Force has yet to win a Group 1, but his connections are undeterred on behalf of the G1 February Stakes second. The six-year-old entire is set to start from stall six under Takeshi Yokoyama, one to the outside of G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies and G1 Victoria Mile heroine Ascoli Piceno (Daiwa Major). Trainer Haruki Sugiyama said, “His last race was over the Tokyo mile, the Fuji Stakes. The break was very sharp and the pace suited him. After that, he went to the farm for about 10 days and returned looking good, as he had before his last race too. On Nov. 13, he worked under Fuma Izumiya with a focus on the final stage. He clocked :51.6 seconds up the hill course. The most important thing is that he has no physical problems.” Ascoli Piceno makes her first start since a decent sixth in August's G1 Prix Jacques le Marois behind Diego Velazquez (Frankel) in France. Earlier this year she won the G2 1351 Turf Sprint in Saudi Arabia followed by the Victoria Mile back in her native land. She is booked in stall five under Christophe Lemaire. Trainer Yoichi Kuroiwa, “After the Prix Jacques le Marois her recovery went mostly well, much better than after the Victoria Mile. Her physique has gotten much more solid and she gains weight easily. To her fast work and regular work, I've had to add two more workouts up the hill course followed directly by a gallop over the flat to get in fit. Her breathing and footwork both improved from last week. This will be her first time at Kyoto, but it's a spacious course and the going should be fast.” Soul Rush had Elton Barows (Deep Brillante) back in second in the 2024 edition of this race. The son of Rulership has yet to be off the board since that victory, running second in December's G1 Hong Kong Mile, third in the G2 Nakayama Kinen in his 2025 bow, followed by a victory over Romantic Warrior (Acclamation) in the G1 Dubai Turf in April. Third in the Yasuda Kinen, he filled that spot again in the Fuji Stakes behind Gaia Force and Jantar Mantar. Trainer Yasutoshi Ikee said, “After returning to the training center he had a fast workout every week for 3 weeks in a row, including this week. At Kyoto, with the downward slope out of the backstretch, he's going to pick up speed. Since, at times, he has trouble getting his engine revved and can get left behind at the crucial moment, the Kyoto course may help him.” British raider and G1 Queen Anne Stakes hero Docklands (Massaat) will leave from stall 16 for trainer Harry Eustace. Fifth in the G1 Sussex Stakes in July, he has rolled a pair of fours in his past two starts–the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois and the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in August and October, respectively.
