The Ohio Department of Agriculture (“Ohio Lab”)'s probationary HISA Equine Analytical Laboratory (HEAL) accreditation status of the Analytical Toxicology Laboratory has been suspended for a minimum of six months, starting Feb. 9, according to a Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit (HIWU) release on Tuesday. Samples collected in Ohio will be directed to the Kenneth L. Maddy Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory at the University of California, Davis for analysis. HIWU's independent Laboratory Expert Group, which evaluates the performance of Program laboratories, recommended the suspension of the Ohio Lab's probationary HEAL accreditation due to nonconformities associated with HEAL compliance. HIWU, in consultation with its Laboratory Expert Group, will review the Ohio Lab's response to this suspension and associated corrective actions. Probationary accreditation status will not be restored unless and until the laboratory is in full compliance with HEAL. HIWU's review of the Ohio Lab is ongoing, and any impact on resolved or pending ADMC Program cases will be publicly disclosed in accordance with Program rules. The HEAL accreditation program was implemented on Jan. 1, and is the national laboratory accreditation program established by HISA's Anti-Doping and Medication Control Program. Overseen by HIWU, it builds on the foundations of the ISO 17025 and Racing Medication & Testing Consortium models and requires a robust External Quality Assessment Scheme to ensure that Program laboratories maintain HEAL standards.

It was another solid day of trade as the 2026 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale came to a close on Tuesday, with a Ghaiyyath colt from Wentwood Grange seizing control and topping the sale when knocked down to McEvoy Racing and Belmont Bloodstock for A$625,000. The colt was record-breaking in several ways. He became Wentwood Grange's most expensive yearling sale result, surpassing the NZ$600,000 paid by Bjorn Baker Racing, Clarke Bloodstock (FBAA) and Ridgmont for an Anamoe colt out of Easifar (Pride Of Dubai) at the New Zealand Bloodstock National Sale only a matter of weeks earlier. He also set a new benchmark as the highest-priced Ghaiyyath yearling sold in the Southern Hemisphere. Lot 668 is the fifth foal out of the dual New Zealand-winning mare Berg En Dal (Dehere), a half-sister to G3 Cuddle Stakes winner Leigh Valley (Bianconi). Leigh Valley is the dam of G1 Herbie Dyke Stakes winner Valley Girl (Mastercraftsman), whose Anamoe yearling filly sold for A$200,000 to Liam Howley Racing Pty Ltd earlier in the same sale. New co-trainer Calvin McEvoy was understandably delighted to secure the sale-topping colt alongside his father Tony and spoke warmly of his admiration for the stallion. “We love the stallion. He's doing very good things, isn't he? He's got everyone very excited,” said McEvoy. “We tried to buy a few in New Zealand but, unfortunately, we weren't strong enough. This is a colt that we've been really trying to piece together since I saw him on Tuesday last week. “He's just a beautiful walker, a good strong colt off a great farm, a farm with very good statistics, so I knew we'd have to be strong. I didn't know I'd have to be that strong, but we're pleased to have him.” He continued, “We've bought a Derby winner from this sale and a Group 1-winning 1,500-metre horse from this sale. It's been a good sale for us and we came here with a bit of confidence. I'm pleased because he was the one horse we wanted to leave here with.” Dean Hawkins of Wentwood Grange, based near Cambridge in New Zealand, reflected on the stud's landmark result, adding, “That was unbelievable. He has been a great mover the whole week and the staff have done a terrific job. “He was on the market at A$150,000 – he was here to not go home – but he walked so well here. You always get nervous before a sale, but I was stoked.” The post ‘We Love The Stallion’ – Ghaiyyath Colts Top Inglis Classic Yearling Sale at A$625,000 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

In more than three decades’ training Bill Thurlow has yet to race a horse at Matamata, but that’s about to change with two stable members entered for the eastern Waikato venue’s biggest ever race meeting on Saturday. The Waverley horseman, who since the start of the season has been training in partnership with former heavyweight jockey Sam O’Malley, is scheduled to head north with stable members Frank The Tank (NZ) (Burgundy) and Wire Rope (NZ) (Darci Brahma). Both are entered for the $350,000 Comag Wairere Falls Classic (1500m), while Wire Rope has a contingency nomination for the Rating 75 1600m on the undercard. This will be the second year the Wairere Falls Classic has been contested at Matamata and the first time on the same programme as the two-year-old double-header of the Gr.2 J Swap Contractors Matamata Breeders’ Stakes and Gr.3 Fairview Matamata Slipper. That also means the for the first time total stakes at the Matamata Racing Club’s marquee raceday will exceed $1 million. Off his rating of 79, Frank The Tank will safely make the 14-horse cut for the Wairere Falls Classic, however with two less rating points Wire Rope is just outside the limit. “I’d love them both to get a start, but we might need a bit of luck with Wire Rope,” Thurlow said. “It’s not often you get the chance to race for this sort of money with mid-grade horses, so we’ll have to keep our fingers crossed there. “The forecast for a bit of rain later in the week should play into their hands, as they both like a bit of cut in the ground. “Frank The Tank had some issues with his feet in the spring and that held him up, and he needed the run when he finished fifth at Waverley last week. “He was a bit burly for that but his work since has been good, so I figure he’s about where he needs to be. “Wire Rope has been racing very well (for two wins and second from his last three starts), so it would be good to see him get his chance. “The other race is still worth a crack, so I’m looking forward to heading up there. From memory I took a jumper up to Matamata years ago but I think they ended up calling the races off, so this will be my first try there.” Meanwhile, Thurlow reports that stable star Whangaehu (NZ) (Proisir) has made all the right moves since finishing third at Ellerslie 10 days ago and is on target for the Gr.3 Avondale Cup (2400m) on Saturday week. It’s coming up seven years since Thurlow won the Avondale Cup with Glory Days, and he’s looking forward to another shot at that race and the ultimate prize, the Gr.2 Auckland Cup, that the Red Giant mare added at her next start. “It was a big relief to see him run so well last time,” Thurlow said. “We still haven’t been able to work out why his form was so poor earlier in the season, all we can assume is he’s one of those horses that for some reason won’t come up in the spring. “But the main thing is that was more like him at Ellerslie to see him finishing off so well and we’ve been really happy with him since, so everything’s on target. “We’ve got Craig Grylls booked to ride him in the Avondale Cup and all going well he’ll be on him in the Auckland Cup too.” View the full article
