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.

St Elias Stable's Captain Cook (Practical Joke), a heartbreaking second at 20-1 in the GI H. Allen Jerkens Memorial S. at Saratoga Aug. 23, will be favored to register a first career graded success in Saturday's GIII Perryville S. at Keeneland. Winner of the Withers S. in February, the 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' was making his first start for Todd Pletcher in the Allen Jerkens. The field of six for the Perryville also includes GII San Vicente S. winner and Allen Jerkens third Barnes (Into Mischief) and GIII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby winner Owen Almighty (Speightstown). 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Ragtime (Union Rags), the 3-1 morning-line favorite in Keeneland's GII Lexus Raven Run S., is a neck away from a perfect four-for-four record. The Godolphin homebred was a too-good-to-lose second in the GI Test S. at Saratoga Aug. 2, then annexed the GIII Dogwood S. at Churchill Sept. 20. The full field of 12 also includes 'Rising Star' Quietside (Malibu Moon) and Simply Joking (Practical Joke), who both return following disappointing efforts in the GI Kentucky Oaks May 2. Saturday's graded action also includes: the GII Sands Point S. at the Belmont at the Big A meeting and the GIII Ontario Derby at Woodbine, featuring a rematch between King's Plate S. winner Mansetti (Collected) and Prince of Wales S. winner Runaway Again (Hard Spun).

TATTERSALLS, ENGLAND – A world away from Book 1 and 2 of the October Yearling Sale, Adam Kirby stocked up on four yearlings on the final day of Book 3, where the Derby-winning jockey admitted that his 'heart went out' to the people who produced the lion's share of the horses that went through the ring on Friday. The top price generated on Friday was a 44,000gns Palace Pier filly that was consigned by Oakgrove Stud and sold to Spanish interests Outsider Bloodstock. Two more horses managed to make 40,000gns on a day when the total turnover climbed by 11% to 1,837,100gns. The median was up by 6% to just 8,500gns while the average climbed 14% to 11,776gns. The clearance rate was the exact same as last year at 72%. With four yearlings bought for a combined 33,000gns, Kirby was one of the busier buyers on the ground on Friday, but he wasn't celebrating. In fact, he drew empathy to many of the breeders and consignors who lost money despite the sale being strong compared to previous years. He commented, “I'm well aware that it's Book 3 but, as far as I am concerned, I feel I have bought some well-priced and nice horses. I wouldn't have liked to have bred them and produced them for the money that I have paid for them. But I am very pleased to have got my hands on a few yearlings. A couple of them look to be quite sharp. We're excited – roll on next season and away we'll go.” He added, “It hasn't been easy for them [the consignors who sold horses on Friday] and my heart does go out to them. Obviously, there were some amazing prices at Book 1 and 2, but I am not going to stand here and say that I can afford them because I can't. Like I said, I am very pleased with the prices I have paid but I feel sorry for the people who have produced them – it's barely the price of the stallion nomination in many cases.” A gifted rider, Kirby's greatest day in the saddle came when he partnered Adayar to win the Derby 2021. Since his retirement, he has earned a reputation as being one of the most talented pre-trainers in Britain, but the competitive bone in his body has driven him to take his trainers' licence out. “Listen, we'll only train a select few horses from a small yard. All of the pre-training will be staying exactly how it is. We will not be sacrificing that side of the business whatsoever. We're simply buying a few to race to keep our eye in and for a day out. When you sit at home all the time, it gets a bit boring! We'll scratch that itch now and we'll see how we go. I'm not an outwardly confident person but this is something that I am pleased that I have decided to pursue.” Kirby added, “When you're buying a yearling, you're buying a dream. They're not exposed and they're not ruined. So, the dream is alive until you find out it isn't. That's the beauty of buying yearlings.” As for Book 3 on the whole, the turnover was up by 17% to 9,517,600gns, the median by 27% to 19,000gns and the average by 19% to 23,676gns. The clearance rate dropped by 2% to 79%. Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented, “The three Books of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sales represent arguably the most important fortnight in the European bloodstock calendar as the thoroughbred world descends on Newmarket, the hub of European horse racing. Over the last two weeks we have seen turnover surpass 200 million guineas for the third time in four years, the two highest priced yearlings sold anywhere in the world this year, 16 lots selling for 1 million guineas or more and sustained demand for quality yearlings from all corners of the globe. “The Tattersalls October Yearling Sale consistently attracts the largest share of the best European yearlings to come to market each year, and Books 1 and 2 have seen a remarkable 189 yearlings realise 300,000 guineas or more, 77% of the yearlings to realise that figure at public auction in Europe this year. Tribute must be paid to the breeders and consignors from Britain, Ireland and further afield who entrust their best yearlings to Tattersalls, safe in the knowledge that the global racecourse success of those yearlings continues to attract the world's leading buyers year after year.” He added, “We have welcomed large numbers of international visitors to Newmarket throughout Books 1 to 3 with significant numbers of American purchasers joined by buyers from throughout the Gulf region including Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. They have been joined by purchasers from Australia, China, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan and Spain alongside a strong domestic buying bench. Those buyers include many principals, whose continued support is such a feature of sales at Tattersalls, attracted by the numerous racecourse successes of graduates including recent Group 1 winners Gewan, Ombudsman, Venetian Sun, Wise Approach and 35,000 gns purchase Zavateri. “The demand for quality yearlings, especially from overseas buyers, reflects the esteem in which British and Irish thoroughbreds are held globally. However, this success is under continual threat by headwinds including the spectre of increased betting taxes which could cost the industry millions, the fragility of the rural economy due to increased costs and taxes, and the failure of governments to recognise the value of an industry that can legitimately be regarded as a world leader. These challenges undermine a true British success story and threaten livelihoods.” The post Adam Kirby Lands Four Yearlings At Lowkey End To Tattersalls Book 3 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Oisin Murphy will donate £25,000 to the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) and an equal amount to Racing Welfare, if he keeps his place at the top of the World Pool Jockeys' Championship, which ends at Ascot on QIPCO British Champions Day on Saturday. The four-time champion jockey holds a considerable 54.55-point lead over Kieran Shoemark, meaning Shoemark would have to ride a winner at World Pool odds of 54.60 and Murphy draw a blank to be passed. Back in third is the now Hong Kong-based Richard Kingscote, while David Egan is 67.80 points adrift in fourth. Ryan Moore, currently sidelined through injury, sits fifth. Murphy said, “I can't thank World Pool enough. It's an amazing initiative and I've been so pleased to see myself climbing to the top of the leaderboard and then stay there over the last few months. “It's a huge amount of money, and I'd like to split it between two charities. Firstly, the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA), which touches me because a very close family friend of ours is suffering with it at the moment, and Racing Welfare, who do so much for our industry. “This has been a particularly sad week for all at Racing Welfare and in our industry, as we were shocked to hear of the death of Nicki Strong, who headed Racing Welfare's communications and marketing, and all our thoughts are with her colleagues, friends and family at this very difficult time.” The post Murphy To Evenly Split £50K Donation Between MNDA And Racing Welfare appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
