      Saturday Insights: Hot Prospects Led By $2.4-million Potente Assemble In Toasty Arcadia

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      6th-SA, $70K, Msw, 3yo, 6f, 6:12 p.m. ET. While a good portion of the country is tossing another log on the fire in an attempt to stave off the frigid temperatures, out in toasty Arcadia a group of maidens led by some intriguing prospects have assembled for a hot race. Chief among them is POTENTE (Into Mischief) who Speedway Stables made the second topper when they went to $2.4-million to acquire the colt at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale. Sent to trainer Bob Baffert, the first-time starter is out SP Sweet Sting (Awesome Again), who Gainesway bought for $385,000 during the 2024 Keeneland November Sale while Potente's full-sister was in utero. Sweet Sting–herself out of champion grass mare Perfect Sting (Red Ransom)–is also responsible for current juvenile filly You Didn't Know (Not This Time), a recent $430,000 Keeneland September buy for Lauren Carlisle. From the same shedrow as Potente, both Duntov (Maxfield) and Crude Velocity (Beau Liam) are set for their unveiling. The former, owned by the Three Amigos, is a $575,000 Keeneland September grad, while the latter came out of the OBS June Sale for $250,000 and is a CSLR color bearer. Lee and Susan Searing's C R K outfit spent a cool million last year at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May Sale on Deep Tracks (Nyquist), then trainer John Shirreffs took over. A half-brother to GISP Crystal Ball (Malibu Moon), the colt's extended female family includes GISW Madcap Escapade (Hennessy)–the dam of GISW Mi Sueno (Pulpit). Larry Williams homebred and Mike Puype trainee Constitution Andi (Constitution) has multiple graded stakes winners under his second dam in Master Command (A.P. Indy), Aurora Lights (Pulpit) and Simcoe (Uncle Mo). TJCIS PPS 7th-FG, $54K, Msw, 3yo, f, 1 1/16mT, 5:35 p.m. ET. Set for a two-turn bow in New Orleans, Adorable Moments (Authentic)–bred and raced by Greg and Deann Baer–is a half-sister to multiple stakes winners Piedi Bianchi (Overanalyze) and Outadore (Outwork). The filly is trained by Whit Beckman. TJCIS PPS 9th-SA, $70K, Msw, 3yo, f, 6 1/2fT, 7:44 p.m. ET. Sprinting on the Santa Anita turf course, Novita Dominga (Not This Time) hits the track for Don Alberto and Hronis Racing after selling for $525,000 during Keeneland September in 2024. The John Sadler trainee is the first foal for SW Dominga (Ghostzapper). Joining her at the starting gate is Donald Dizney homebred Little Opal (Caravaggio), whose second dam is a full-sister to GI Kentucky Derby longshot hero Giacomo (Holy Bull) and a half-sister to MGISW Tiago (Pleasant Tap). Trained by Chief Stipe O'Neill, Little Opal's extended female family also includes current sire Nashville (by Speightstown) and GSW Medoro (Honpor Code).

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      In this continuing series, we take a look ahead at US-bred and/or conceived runners entered for the upcoming weekend at the tracks on the Japan Racing Association circuit, with a focus on pedigree and/or performance in the sales ring. Here are the horses of interest for this weekend running at Kyoto and Tokyo Racecourses: Sunday, February 1, 2026 4th-KYO, ¥12,330,000 ($81k), Newcomers, 3yo, 1400m REVIVI (f, 3, Good Magic–Seasoned Warrior, by Majestic Warrior), whose dam was Grade II-placed at two, is a half-sister to SP Souper Echo (Macho Uno) and her second dam Saoirse (Cure the Blues), a Grade III winner either side of the border, produced five winners, including MGSW & GISP Hide and Chic (Seeking the Gold) and MSW Autobahn Girl (A.P. Indy), the dam of SW & MGSP Getridofwhatailesu (Ghostzapper). Produced on a variant of the wildly successful cross of Curlin over A.P. Indy-line dams, Revivi fetched $210,000 at Keeneland November in 2023 before selling to this owner for $385,000 at Keeneland September the following year.

      brad steele latest question and answer

      By Brodie · Posted

      Gamma, do not think there are Cheap Shots being fired at Brad Steele at all! I believe that if you asked Canterbury based harness enthusiasts if they thought harness racing is viable in the future with the way the  Entain cash splash has been used, most would say no. It is very easy to spend other peoples money as it is no detriment to their own finances. Gamma, you are allowed obviously to think that the racing is great and owners and trainers are doing well at the moment due to HRNZs actions! Personally do not think they have done a very good job at all with the opportunity they have had, but the truth of the matter will come in the next year or two as to who is right?? Due to the decisions they have made, unfortunately I believe they are going to be in a dire situation finance wise. Entain shareholders are going go be getting 50% of the profit as far as I understand after the 5 years but am unaware of what level of funding for harness racing they have to provide? It would only be a guess as to what the stakes are going to be in 2 years time so no point, however it is going to be significantly less than they are now!
