    • Ryan Moore will hardly have enjoyed a more straightforward Classic ride than on Frankel's 2024 champion Lake Victoria in Sunday's G1 Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas. Heavily-supported into 10-11 favouritism to build on her comeback sixth in the 1,000 Guineas three weeks ago, last year's G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes, G1 Cheveley Park Stakes and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine raced in the box seat behind the 50-1 shot California Dreamer. Squeezed out of the pocket to get after that leader two out, Aidan O'Brien's 11th winner of this Classic was in front a furlong from home en route to a 2 1/4-length success. Mehmas's California Dreamer earned second under the enterprising tactics, 1 3/4 lengths ahead of Australia's Cercene. “She wasn't quite there at Newmarket, but she's a lot better than them and I'm glad to get her back on track,” Moore said after a Group-race four-timer involving Albert Einstein, Porta Fortuna and Los Angeles.

    • 7th-Mth, $47K, Msw, 3yo/up, 1 1/16mT, 3:56 p.m. ET. The holiday card by the Jersey Shore includes first-time starter DIRAND (Ire) (Sottsass {Fr}). Owned by Peter Brant and Tony Shafrazian, the 3-year-old is out of Unaided (GB) (Dansili {GB}), who White Birch acquired for €1,250,000 at the 2019 Arqana December Mixed Sale while in-foal to No Nay Never. This dam is also responsible for champion turf female & GI TVG Breeders' Cup Mile heroine Uni (GB) (Medaglia d'Oro). Dirand is trained by Chad Brown. From the same shedrow, Investment Mandate (Constitution) is set for his unveiling. Klaravich Stable went to $525,000 during Keeneland September, who is out of MGISP Faithfully (Smart Strike). The colt's third dam is highly-productive champion 3-year-old filly Heavenly Prize (Seeking the Gold).

    • Drawing on all his inherent toughness, Ballydoyle's Los Angeles defied Anmaat in a battle to the line in Sunday's G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh. Sent off the 9-4 favourite after his comeback G2 Mooresbridge Stakes win, last year's G1 Irish Derby hero took over two out and responded to Ryan Moore's call to ward off the Shadwell runner late on having been headed inside the final furlong. A half length separated them at the line, with a length back to Kalpana in third. On fast ground uncommon for this track at this time of year, the sensational time of 2:08.41 was the fastest by nearly two seconds in the history of the race since Shiva won in 2:10.20 in 1999, the first time the trip was changed to this 10 1/2 furlongs. Aidan O'Brien has another bigwig on his hands in the 4-year-old, who is set for the season's prime tests now. “It was a very good race, they are very high-class horses and you can't miss a beat with those,” the trainer said after greeting his 11th winner of the race. “The plan was to come here and go to the Prince of Wales's and then either have a look at the King George or have a little rest and have an Arc trial and then the Arc.” “When the pace is on in front of him he'll follow any pace and he'll fight. No horse likes a fight more than him,” he added. “He's an exciting horse going forward. As a physical he's massive. It's hard to believe how big and powerful he is until you stand beside him and he has an incredible mind, he's so relaxed. I'd say any race through the whole year is going to find it hard to stand up to the ratings of all these horses. When all these are added up it's going to be an incredibly high rating band.” The post ‘No Horse Likes A Fight More’: O’Brien Hails Camelot’s Los Angeles After Tattersalls Gold BattleCup appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • The 2025 Magic Millions Gold Coast Weanling Sale saw high demand for the top lots throughout the day, with eight standout weanlings hitting at least A$300,000, headed by a Snitzel filly who went the way of North Bloodstock for A$550,000. Offered by Highgrove Stud, she is the ninth live foal out of the stakes-placed O'Reilly mare Acquired, with the others including Splintex, a full-sister to this filly who was successful in the G2 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint, G2 Bobbie Lewis Handicap and G3 Hall Mark Stakes. Another sibling by Exceed And Excel is the Listed scorer Invictus Salute. Since producing this weanling Acquired has been served by Golden Slipper winner Shinzo. “She's a beautiful type with great length and great scope,” North Bloodstock's Mick Malone said of the top lot. “She has a lot of O'Reilly about her. Her mother was a beautiful mare and she looks a bit like her mum. “It may change, but at this point, we are planning to race her.” The post Snitzel Filly Tops Magic Millions Gold Coast Weanling Sale at A$550,000 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Last month's G1 Prix Ganay hero Sosie (Sea The Stars) justified connections' decision to part with a €18,000 supplementary fee and pounced late to celebrate a hat-trick of Group 1 ParisLongchamp triumphs in Sunday's G1 Prix d'Ispahan at the Bois de Boulogne venue. The 7-10 favourite annexed last year's G1 Grand Prix de Paris and also ran third in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club and fourth in the G1 Arc. The eventual winner endured a degree of awkwardness during the opening skirmishes and tracked the leaders in fourth for the most part here. Urged closer soon after straightening for home, he came under forceful rousting inside the final quarter-mile and overhauled Sardinian Warrior (Saxon Warrior) in the dying embers for an ultimately snug one-length success. Last year's runner-up Horizon Dore (Dabirsim) hit the board once more and finished 2 1/2 lengths further adrift in third.   The post Sea The Stars’s Sosie Pounces Late for Prix d’Ispahan Triumph appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
