Sunday, Tokyo, Japan, post time: 15:40, FEBRUARY STAKES-G1, ¥290,980,000, 4yo/up, 1600m Field: Omega Guiness (Jpn) (Logotype {Jpn}), Happy Man (Jpn) (Danon Legend), Brian Sense (Jpn) (Hokko Tarumae {Jpn}), Perriere (Jpn) (Henny Hughes), Sixpence (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Ramjet (Jpn) (Majestic Warrior), Long Run (Jpn) (Victoire Pisa {Jpn}), Sakura Toujours (Jpn) (Neo Universe {Jpn}), W Heart Bond (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Lord Couronne (Jpn) (Leontes {Jpn}), Sunrise Hawk (Jpn) (Leontes {Jpn}), Costa Nova (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Natural Rise (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Wilson Tesoro (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Peptide Nile (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}), Saimon Xanadu (Jpn) (Asia Express). TDN Analysis: The only runner in the field carrying less than 128 pounds, G1 Champions Cup heroine W Heart Bond aims for another top-level title at Tokyo. Just off the mare was Wilson Tesoro in the Champions Cup and he is one of 16 in the field. Jockey Rachel King became the first female rider to win a JRA Group 1 Flat race aboard Costa Nova in this race last year. For this edition, King is on multiple group winner Sakura Toujours, while Christophe Lemaire has the call on Costa Nova. [Heather Anderson]. Sunday, Sha Tin, Hong Kong, post time: 16:35, QUEEN'S SILVER JUBILEE CUP-G1, HK$13,000,000, 4yo/up, 1400mT Field: Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress {NZ}), Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse {Aus}), Helios Express (Aus) (Toronado {Ire}), Red Lion (Ire) (Belardo {Ire}), Galaxy Patch (Aus) (Wandjina {Aus}), Sunlight Power (Aus) (Capitalist {Aus}), Copartner Prance (Aus) (Epaulette {Aus}), Patch Of Theta (Aus) (Zoustar {Aus}), Raging Blizzard (NZ) (Per Incanto {Aus}), Packing Hermod (Aus) (Rubick {Aus}). TDN Analysis: This race starts and stops at Ka Ying Rising. The reigning The Everest hero would break Silent Witness's record of 17 consecutive wins by a Hong Kong-trained horse if he prevails on Sunday. Trainer David Hayes called his charge “bigger, stronger, and better than last year” and his nine rivals have it all to do. John Size's Helios Express ran second to Ka Ying Rising last out in the G1 Centenary Sprint Cup in January, while the re-opposing Raging Blizzard was fourth that day. [Heather Anderson]. Sunday, Cagnes-sur-Mer, France, post time: 15:32, PRIX DE LA CALIFORNIE-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, 7 1/2f (AWT) Field: Go Man (Fr) (Goken {Fr}), Afandy (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}), Seeway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}), Centauri (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Kenzel (Ire) (Zelzal {Fr}), Like Lindy (Midshipman), Viva La Skids (Fr) (Victor Ludorum {GB}), Baklawa (Fr) (Stunning Spirit {GB}). TDN Analysis: Richard Chotard trainee Go Man comes back off a career high in November's Listed Criterium du Languedoc and is burdened with a two-kilo penalty in this sophomore bow. He encounters two Wertheimer homebreds from the Christophe Ferland stable, namely Listed Prix Saraca third Kenzel and dual winner Centauri. Gousserie Racing's G3 Prix Miesque third Baklawa is the only other contender with black type, while Afandy is two-from-two and Viva La Skids is three-from-four. [Sean Cronin].

Peak performance is around ~4.5 years old A major study using Beyer Speed Figures found that Thoroughbreds reach their peak racing age at about 4.45 years, with performance improving up to that point and gradually declining afterwards. [pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] My 10 years of performance data for NZ concurs alongside my personal observation. Might be different in Oz.

Ebony Flyer, a triple Grade 1 winner from six to eight furlongs when racing in South Africa for Team Valor International (TVI) and Gaynor Rupert, has died from complications after foaling a Bradsell filly on February 4. The daughter of Jet Master was euthanised on Saturday at Rossdales Equine Hospital in Newmarket. Bred in the Western Cape by W. J. Engelbrecht Jr., Ebony Flyer and her dam were purchased privately in a deal struck by TVI CEO Barry Irwin after her three-year-old half-sister Captain's Lover (Captain Al) emerged as a leading contender for the G1 Cape Fillies Guineas. Irwin, who had bought Captain's Lover as a yearling, struck gold, as not only did Captain's Lover win the Guineas in 2007, but Ebony Flyer then followed suit in 2010, thereby providing their dam Sunshine Lover (Badger Land) with the rare distinction of producing a pair of Classic winners of the same race. Ebony Flyer eventually retired as the winner of eight of her 13 career starts. She reportedly suffered from breathing issues following her Guineas triumph and required no less than three surgeries, before returning in 2012 to win both the G1 Majorca Stakes and G1 South African Fillies Sprint. Irwin said, “We have raced champion females around the globe, including in England and Ireland, but the only other filly we had in her league was Ipi Tombe. Had she been able to breathe, there is no telling how good she would have become or how far she would have raced.” As a producer, Ebony Flyer foaled seven winners from nine runners, including two black-type runners in South Africa, namely the Grade 3-placed Cot Campbell (Trippi) and Listed-placed Black Silver (Silvano). A foster mare has been found for her Bradsell filly who is said to be doing well.

Same thing for all intents and purposes. Have a look at the nominations for the Queen of the Turf Stakes, the cream of Aus female racing. She is just not even close to that class
