    • On the other side of the ledger, one major cost at least, has been moved off the code financials and that is what is now the RIB.
    • Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Saturday's Observations features a full-brother to multiple Group 1 winner and Classic heroine Lake Victoria (Frankel). 4.50 Leopardstown, Mdn, 2yo, c/g, 7f 30yT DRUIDS GLEN (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is a significant newcomer for Ballydoyle on an intriguing card, being a full-brother to the yard's outstanding Irish 1,000 Guineas, Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, Cheveley Park and Moyglare heroine Lake Victoria. Out of the top-class sprinter Quiet Reflection (Showcasing), he meets nine peers in the maiden won 12 months ago by the subsequent Criterium International winner Twain and in 2016 by Cliffs Of Moher. 1.30 Ascot, Cond, 2yo, 6fT WORDS OF TRUTH (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) greatly enhances this inaugural £250,000 Qipco British Champions Day Two-Year-Old Conditions Stakes, having captured Newbury's Mill Reef Stakes when last seen. Charlie Appleby will be hoping that Godolphin's son of the dual Group winner Beyond Reason (Australia) can make his class tell, but this won't be easy pickings with Wathnan Racing's Listed Rockingham Stakes winner Division (GB) (Kingman {GB}) engaged along with proven Group performers Mission Central (Ire) (No Nay Never) and Kansas (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). 2.10 Leopardstown, Mdn, 2yo, f, 8fT MUSICAL CHIMES (IRE) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) is another fascinating newcomer for Ballydoyle, this time in the maiden won 12 months ago by Minnie Hauk. A half-sister to the St Leger hero Continuous (Heart's Cry) from the family of Saxon Warrior, she is probably in this for educational purposes above all with the stable's proven Amelia Earhart (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) hot favourite to shed her maiden tag after a latest Group 3 fourth. 2.40 Leopardstown, Mdn, 2yo, c/g, 8fT ANTIGUA (IRE) (Camelot {GB}) cost Peter Brant and the Coolmore partners 600,000gns at the Tattersalls October Book 1, by virtue of the fact that he is a full-brother to the G1 South Australian Derby and G1 Underwood Stakes hero Russian Camelot. Making his debut for Rosegreen in a maiden the stable has dominated and used for the likes of Bolshoi Ballet and Serious Contender, he is joined by Il Corsaro (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), a half-brother to the Group 1-placed Big Blue (Galileo) and full-brother to the yard's one-time Derby prospect Denmark. 3.50 Leopardstown, Mdn, 2yo, f, 7f 30yT GARDEN PARTY (IRE) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) is another outstanding prospect to emerge from Ballydoyle on this fixture, being the third foal out of the Falmouth, Prix Rothschild and Sun Chariot heroine Roly Poly (War Front) and granddaughter of Misty For Me (Galileo). Aidan O'Brien has two other runners, with the key player being the G3 Weld Park Stakes third Minerva (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), the 1.5 million gns daughter of Prize Exhibit (Showcasing) who is looking for a win at the seventh attempt.

    • 4th-Keeneland, $100,719, Msw, 10-17, 2yo, f, 5 1/2fT, 1:02.83, fm, 2 3/4 lengths. BEACH HEIST (f, 2, Omaha Beach–Pearl Heist, by Graydar) ran this group of maiden fillies off their feet in her debut race Friday for Will Walden. The 6-1 shot, drawn wide in this 10-horse field, was pushed from the gate for speed and was able to forge an advantage heading into the far turn. Opening up a sizeable gap back to Cardiff Reef (Omaha Beach) at the quarter pole, Beach Heist looked to put this race away down the lane even as 7-2 favorite Lion Lake (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) rocketed home from the back but still checked in a well-beaten second 2 3/4 lengths behind the winner. Beach Heist is the first foal out of a winning Graydar mare who has since produced a Hard Spun filly sold for $125,000 at Keeneland last month and a weanling Authentic colt. Pearl Heist is due to leading freshman sire Yaupon for 2026. Sales History: $80,000 Wlg '23 KEENOV; $80,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $63,938.

    • BBN Racing LLC has supplemented GISW Kilwin (Twirling Candy) to Book 1 of Keeneland's November Breeding Stock sale on Tuesday, Nov. 4, and the owners are offering a 25% interest in GSW Bracket Buster (Vekoma) during the second edition of the Keeneland Championship sale at Del Mar on Wednesday, Oct. 29, according to a press release from the auction company on Friday afternoon. Consigned by Royal Oak Farm (Damian and Braxton Lynch), agent for BBN, 3-year-old Kilwin has four wins in eight starts led by a signature come-from-behind score in the GI Test Stakes at the Spa this past summer. At last year's inaugural Keeneland Championship sale, the filly RNA'd for $575,000. Kilwin is a half-sister to GSW One Timer (Trappe Shot) and SW Just Basking (Arrogate). Her unraced dam is the Blame mare Spanish Star–a half-sister to GI Belmont Stakes hero Sir Winston (Awesome Again). “Kilwin is an incredibly versatile performer who was precocious at 2 with a win in a million-dollar race on turf and the next year scored a Grade I victory on dirt at Saratoga with a heart-stopping performance to win one of America's most historic races,” BBN Racing Founding Partner Brian Klatsky said. “With her prowess on dirt and turf, she's a true collector's item.” Also consigned by Royal Oak, a quarter stake in GI DK Travers Stakes runner-up Bracket Buster will be offered during Keeneland's sale at Del Mar. Last out, the 3-year-old colt won the GIII Oklahoma Derby as the odds-on favorite at Remington Park Sept. 28. “BBN Racing purchased both Kilwin and Bracket Buster at Keeneland's September Yearling sale, and both horses are wonderful additions to our upcoming sales,” said Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy. “We thank them for their tremendous support.” Click here for the November sale catalogue and here for the Championship sale catalogue.

    • Lael Stables's MGISW She Feels Pretty (Karakontie {Jpn}), considered the top American runner to challenge the Europeans in GI Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf Stakes, continued her steady pattern for trainer Cherie DeVaux by working a half-mile in :48 on Friday morning at Keeneland. Drilling with stablemate & GSW Taking Candy (Twirling Candy), the 4-year-old logged her fifth Friday half-mile breeze since winning the GI E.P. Taylor Stakes at Woodbine on Aug. 16, which offered the filly an automatic ticket to the Breeders' Cup at Del Mar. “She has been working well, and I just need to keep her sound and happy,” trainer Cherie DeVaux said after the work. She Feels Pretty is scheduled to work again here next Friday and then fly to Del Mar as part of a three-horse World Championships contingent for DeVaux, who collected her first championship score last year with More Than Looks (More Than Ready) in the GI FanDuel Breeders' Cup Mile. DeVaux's other runners are expected to be GISP Rebel Red (GB) (Frankel {GB}) for the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Turf and GISW Vahva (Gun Runner) for the GI PNC Bank Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint. The former–who will be offered in Book 1 of Keeneland's November Breeding Stock sale Nov. 4–worked a half-mile Friday morning over the local course's main track in :48.80 in company with SW Northern Invader (Collected). Vahva is scheduled to work Saturday at 7:30 a.m. ET. “I was pleased with him this morning,” DeVaux said of Rebel Red, whose best finish in graded stakes this year was a second in the GI Resorts World Casino Sword Dancer Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 9. “He has run some really good races and that puts him right there [with possible Breeders' Cup entrants].” The post MGISW She Feels Pretty Looks The Part Drilling For DeVaux At Keeneland appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
