    • Liberty National (Maxfield), named a 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' following an impressive maiden victory on the Stars of Tomorrow II program at Churchill Downs Nov. 29, could make his next start in the $100,000 Gun Runner Stakes at Fair Grounds Dec. 20. A well-beaten sixth on debut for trainer Ken McPeek in a live maiden special weight at Keeneland Oct. 16, the Brookdale Racing, Inc. and Fern Circle Stables colorbearer took to two turns with aplomb at second asking with a 4 1/4-length, come-from-behind decision beneath the Twin Spires, good for an 81 Beyer Speed Figure. “We're leaning towards the Gun Runner. When I get back from my trip, we'll nail down exact details,” McPeek said from Buenos Aires while attending this weekend's Gran Premio International Carlos Pellegrini. “He acts like a horse that can go next level.” Liberty National, a $525,000 Keeneland September yearling produced by an unraced full-sister to GISW Paynter (Awesome Again), is one of four 'Rising Stars' from the first crop of Maxfield. This is also the female family of legendary two-time GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner and leading sire Tiznow. Liberty National was bred in Kentucky by Rock Ridge Thoroughbreds, LLC. “Big, strong serious horse with all the right parts in the right places,” McPeek said. “He's got an aircraft carrier body type. You need those kind of horses to compete at the highest level.” McPeek, responsible for 2024 GI Kentucky Derby hero Mystik Dan (Goldencents), also has GII Kentucky Jockey Club S. runner-up Universe (Global Campaign) and GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity runner-up and 'Rising Star' Blackout Time (Not This Time) on the road to the Louisville. The latter was a late scratch out of the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. “We've got some horses that are in the pipeline to take us back to the highest mountains,” McPeek said.

    • Echo Town (by Speightstown), the winner of the GI H. Allen Jerkens, was purchased by Tyree Wolesensky and has relocated to her Leadem Farm in Arkansas for the 2026 breeding season, according to a release from Vinery Sales on Friday. Brokered by Vinery's Jay Goodwin, Echo Town has arrived in Arkansas and is ready for inspection. He will stand the 2026 season for $3,500. “Just really excited for Arkansas breeders to have a Grade I-winning sprinter with that pedigree, who has already proven the ability to sire precocious graded stakes winners,” said Goodwin. “He is exactly what Arkansas needs. I would've bred to him in Kentucky this year, so I will definitely support him with my mares in Arkansas.” The son of sire of sires, Speightstown, recorded 10 starts, four wins, two seconds, and as many thirds. The bay campaigned by L and N Racing and trained by Steve Asmussen had a signature score during his 3-year-old season when he defeated six graded stakes winner in the Allen Jerkens at the Spa. Prior to that, Echo Town was the runner-up in the GI Woody Stephens Stakes at Belmont Park, which was his first attempt at a higher-level prize. As a sire, Echo Town is responsible for four total crops and two of racing age. Lifetime, he claims 45 winners out of 73 starters. Among them is Echo Sound–a first-crop filly for the sire–who began her career three-for-three with a stakes win followed by scores in the GIII Miss Preakness Stakes and the GIII Victory Ride Stakes. The former member of Coolmore America's stallion roster has also sired stakes winning filly, Elegant Echo, who started racing with a pair of wins. Joining her is Three Echoes, who broke his maiden as a juvenile at Churchill Downs then placed in the GIII Sanford Stakes. Recently, the new Arkansas-based sire had juvenile winners at Delta Downs and Charles Town, plus Dakota's Lil Auror was stakes-placed in the Juvenile Fillies Sprint Stakes at Gulfstream. Echo Town, out of GSW Letgomyecho (Menifee), comes from a pedigree covered with black-type. His half-siblings include champion 2-year-old filly Echo Zulu (Gun Runner), GSW J Boys Echo (Mineshaft) and the stakes-placed dam of SW Saturday Flirt (Mendelssohn).
