Stormy Atlantic (Storm Cat–Hail Atlantis, by Seattle Slew) has passed away from the infirmities of old age at 32. Retired from the track with 15 starts, six wins and earnings of over $148,000, Stormy Atlantic initially stood stud in Florida at Bridlewood Farm in 1999 where he would become Florida's champion freshman sire. His success in Florida ultimately gave him a chance in Kentucky and Stormy Atlantic joined the roster at John Sikura's Hill 'n' Dale in 2003 where he stood until pensioned at the age of 27 in 2021. All told, he sired 112 stakes winners and 48 individual graded stakes winners led by the likes of MGISW Get Stormy and 2018 Eclipse Champion Turf Male Stormy Liberal, one of seven champions Stormy Atlantic sired across the globe. “It is with sadness that we report that Stormy Atlantic passed away peacefully ironically on a stormy afternoon Monday due to the infirmities of the old age of 32,” said Bridlewood Farm's George Isaacs. “When I became General Manager of Bridlewood in 1996, Stormy Atlantic was a 2-year-old and I remember looking at his pedigree and telling myself if we can get lucky, this guy will leave his mark on the breed. With him being champion freshmen sire, over 100 stakes winners, and a successful broodmare sire, suffice to say he did. I set a goal that he would hopefully be leading freshmen sire here in Florida, and that would give me the momentum to hopefully move him to Kentucky to give him the opportunity that he deserved. Thankfully, John Sikura shared my vision and through his super management, Stormy elevated both of our operations and solidified an enduring friendship and respect for one another. I will be forever grateful to Stormy Atlantic for the important impact he made on the success of our operation for many years. As horsemen we all know, it's these special horses that take us to the heights we are shooting for! Stormy Atlantic has already been laid to rest in the Bridlewood Farm cemetery.” The post Pensioned Hill ‘n’ Dale Stallion Stormy Atlantic Dies At 32 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Group winner Luxor Café (American Pharoah) and two compatriots landed at Japan's Kansai International Airport on St Patrick's Day, Tospo Keiba reported on Tuesday. Originally slated to run in the G1 Dubai World Cup at Meydan on March 28, the full-brother to dual G1 February Stakes hero Café Pharoah will instead look to targets closer to home, as the Iranian conflict continues. One of three horses to return to the Land of the Rising Sun on Tuesday morning, he was joined by Shin Forever (Complexity) and G2 UAE Derby hope Keiai Agito (Espoir City) on the Japan-bound flight. The multiple group-placed Shin Forever had been due to contest the G2 Godolphin Mile. The trio have entered re-entry quarantine just after midday at Miki Horseland Park. A fourth horse, G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen starter T O Elvis (Volatile) will not travel to Dubai trainer Daisuke Takayanagi told Net Keiba. He has re-routed to the Listed Tokyo Sprint (NAR-G3) at Oi on April 15. Japanese Foursome Leave For Dubai On Wednesday Dual G1 Saudi Cup hero Forever Young (Real Steel) will not be defending Japan's honour solo in less than two weeks. Despite the travel risk level set at Level 3 earlier this month by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, four horses will lift off for Dubai on Wednesday morning. G1 Dubai Turf entrant Gaia Force (Kitasan Black) worked uphill at the Ritto Training Centre covering four furlongs in :55.40 as of Tuesday. A dual Group 2 winner, he has placed in a trio of Group 1s in Japan, the most recent the Mile Championship behind Jantar Mantar (Palace Malice). G1 Sprinters Stakes hero Lugal (Duramente), preparing for the G1 Al Quoz Sprint, covered the same distance. The latter's trainer Harushi Sugiyama told Tospo Keiba, “In :55-:56 seconds. The clock will come out as usual.” Another horse set for Japan is listed winner Pyromancer (Pyro), who ran his four furlongs in :54.30 ahead of a start in the G2 UAE Derby. James Doyle will ride. Said trainer Keiji Yoshimura, “As planned. Even after entering the quarantine stable, he does not change and he responds to changes in the environment.” Blitzing four furlongs in :51.0 was Nettaiya Rai (Contrail). He is also due to run in the UAE Derby and was ridden by Ryusei Sakai for Yoshito Yahagi. Yahagi won the UAE Derby with Forever Young back in 2024.

5. LOVE'M OR LIAM, GP, 3/13-5th, 1 1/16 miles (Tapeta) (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-81 (c, 4, by Liam's Map–Fly Me to Dubai, by Into Mischief) O-Cheyenne Stable. B-Catherine Hudson, Kildare Stud and Aaron Mulholland (Ky). T-Bill Mott. J-Junior Alvarado. He finally broke his maiden in his seventh start and first on Tapeta (off the turf), but in his defense he hasn't seen easy spots against Grande (later second in Wood Memorial), Life and Times (104 Beyer) and Time to Win (103 Beyer). Pedigree-wise, he's a full-brother to Flying Liam, recently a distant third behind Knightsbridge in the GIII Gulfstream Park Mile. 4. UNSEARCHABLE, GP, 3/14-7th, 7 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-82 (c, 3, by Not This Time–Grandaria, by Curlin) O-Jeff Kerber. B-Jeff and Robin Kerber. T-Rusty Arnold. J-Jorge Ruiz. Unsearchable looked lost when suddenly dropping six lengths off the lead down the backstretch, but the fractions told the story: the quarter in :22.05 and half in :44.14 were solidly faster than stakes fillies ran on dirt earlier on the Gulfstream card. He was still four lengths back and surely beaten at the 1/8 pole, but gobbled up firster Final Story at the wire. Based on both ends of his pedigree, extra distance seems a no-brainer when available. His stakes-placed Curlin dam Grandaria is out of an A.P. Indy mare–stamina on stamina–and her 10 starts were all at a mile or longer. 3. RADAUTI, CNL, 3/12-4th, 1 mile (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-82 (c, 4, by Tonalist–Raucous, by Speightstown) O-Bruce S. Snipes. B-Robert S. Evans (Ky). T-Steve Epley Jr. J-Martin Chuan. Making his first start for new connections, his previous New York form made him a deserving 9/5 favorite, and he held serve at Colonial with a Beyer that ticked up a couple points to a new career top. He's a full-brother to standout New York-bred Drake's Passage, a two-time stakes winner who knocked out nearly a half-million for owner/breeder Evans and trainers Christophe and Miguel Clement. Evans kept Radauti, too, but after seven defeats at Aqueduct, put him in the Fasig-Tipton January Digital Sale, where Snipes got him for $90k. 2. SUNSHINE DAYDREAM, FG, 3/13-6th, 1 mile (turf) (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-83 (f, 4, by Medaglia d'Oro–Stoweshoe, by Flatter) O-LNJ Foxwoods and Church Street Stable. B-Chief Stipe and Felicia Branham (Ky). T-Joe Sharp. J-Ben Curtis. She showed little as a 3-year-old, but is coming to hand over Fair Grounds turf–and this was her best yet from a fig standpoint. The $270k Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall yearling is out of a stakes-winning full-sister to millionaire sprinter Taris, and while Stoweshoe's five foals to race show no black type, they could all run some. For example, Sunshine Daydream's full-sister Cantata broke her maiden on debut as a 2-year-old at Saratoga by 10 1/4 lengths for Stonestreet, and half-brother Mission Beach (Curlin) has run six Beyers between 80 and 88. 1. EZUM, CNL, 3/14-4th, 1 mile (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-87 (c, 3, by Essential Quality–Bashful Bertie, by Quiet American) O-Shadwell Stable. B-Nancy Shuford (Ky). T-Brad Cox. J-Flavien Prat. Any 19-length maiden special weight winner at a major track can be expected to show up on “Five Fastest Maidens,” and Ezum occupies the top spot. Debut-to-second-start turnarounds don't get much more dramatic: he flashed speed and was trounced by 24 1/2 lengths at Gulfstream at 14/1 odds, then pummeled a much weaker field Saturday in Virginia for downsized Shadwell's second U.S. win this year. The $485k yearling is from a solid “Bertie” female family: he's a half-brother to Beach Patrol, who took the Grade I Secretariat and Arlington Million back when they were actually run at Arlington Park.
