    • Eight-time Group 1-winning stayer Kyprios will stand for €5,000 under Coolmore's National Hunt banner at The Beeches Stud.  Aidan O'Brien's most prolific winner at the highest level, Kyprios completed a clean sweep in 2022, landing the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, followed by victory in the Goodwood Cup, Irish St Leger and Prix du Cadran.  After an injury-hit season in 2023, he returned to capture all four of those races again in 2024, confirming himself a rare phenomenon.  “Kyprios is an exceptionally good-looking horse with a truly outstanding race record,” said Robert McCarthy on Coolmore.com. “He won more Group 1 races than any horse ever trained by Aidan O'Brien, which speaks volumes about his quality. “He won his first Prix du Cadran by 20 lengths which must surely be a record-winning margin for a Group 1 race. In total, he won 17 races and was unbeaten in his final nine starts. We are thrilled to welcome one of the all-time great stayers to The Beeches.”  Meanwhile, O'Brien told Coolmore.com, “Kyprios is a very, very special horse and it was a privilege to have trained him. He has an unbelievable capacity for covering any amount of distance. He obviously has an incredible heart and lungs.”   The post Top Stayer Kyprios To Stand For 5k Under Coolmore’s National Hunt Banner appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) has received official approval by the Federal Trade Commission for a series of proposed changes to its Enforcement Rules (Rule Series 8000), the group announced Friday. These changes will take effect January 19, 2026. HISA's updated Enforcement Rules are available in full here and include the following changes: Clarification that it is a violation to enter a Covered Horse or cause a Covered Horse to compete in a Covered Horserace prior to registering the Covered Horse with HISA (note that it is a separate violation to fail to register a Covered Horse on the date of the horse's first timed and reported workout at a Racetrack that participates in Covered Horseraces or at a training facility); and Failure to pay a fine or repay a purse by the prescribed deadline will subject the Covered Person to an automatic suspension. The FTC published a request for public comment on the proposed changes on September 9, 2025 and issued an order approving the changes on December 19, 2025. HISA added that they will work with racing industry participants to help prepare them for the changes. All HISA rules are available here.

    • Spendthrift Farm's MGISW Dornoch (Good Magic) sired his first reported foal Wednesday when a colt was born at Taylor Made Farm in Nicholasville, KY on Jan. 7. Bred by Albaugh Family Stable, the bay colt is out of the mare Four Grands and hails from the immediate family of top sires Not This Time and Liam's Map. Four Grands, by Honor Code, is out of the stakes-winning mare Taylor S, and her granddam is the late blue hen mare Miss Macy Sue. “We're absolutely thrilled with the colt. He weighs a little over 130 pounds and is just a big, strong colt with great substance, a beautiful head, tons of bone, and an athletic frame,” said Taylor Made's Steve Castagnola. “He is out running the paddock with his mom right now and just full of energy. We could not be happier.” “The Albaugh's and I were big fans of Dornoch, and we wanted to stick to the (Curlin) sire line with an exciting stallion that could give the mare some size and leg. We got a terrific result. If we had a barn full of individuals like this colt then we would be in great shape,” added Castagnola. On the track, Dornoch captured the GII Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct as a 2-year-old over future champion Sierra Leone (Gun Runner), before going on to a stellar 3-year-old campaign that made him a 2024 Eclipse Award finalist. Out of 2024 Broodmare of the Year Puca, Dornoch won the GII Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream, the 1 1/4-mile GI Belmont Stakes at Saratoga, and the GI Haskell Stakes at Monmouth. Last year, Dornoch was a top five first-season covering sire by average, with in-foal mares selling up to $585,000–the highest price for a broodmare in foal to a freshman sire in North America. He is set to stand his second season for a fee of $30,000 S&N.
