    • With two races each offering prize-money of £100,000, the British EBF 2yo Series, now in its fourth year, headlines the activities on the Flat for the British European Breeders' Fund, which is supported by the British stallion owners.  Juveniles who took part in more than 170 restricted maiden and novice races in the country are eligible for Wednesday's fillies' final at Goodwood or the colts' final, which is to be run on October 10 at York. With just over £50,000 to the winner, the former has attracted 14 declared runners from 12 different trainers, making it the largest field to date. Graduates of the 2024 British EBF £100,000 2yo Fillies' Series Final include G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches runner-up Shes Perfect and Love Talk, who was third in the G2 Lancashire Oaks. The series boasts a combined runner to black-type performers strike-rate of 21 per cent, with notable runners including the Listed winners Chic Colombine, Sirona, Adaay In Devon and Glamis Road.  Nick Bradley, the syndicate manager behind four runners in Wednesday's final, said, “Myself and Lewis Poskitt look to add value to our owners' experience in our race planning. We picked out the EBF £30,000 race for Glamis Road about a month before the race, such was the lure of the prize-money on offer. She won nicely that day and went on to finish fourth in the £100,000 EBF Final at Goodwood, which we won with another cheaply bought filly, Love Talk.”   The post Record Field for British EBF Fillies’ Series Final appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Special Me, the dam of MGSW/GISP Stonetastic (Mizzen Mast), GISW Gift Box (Twirling Candy), MGSW Special Forces (Candy Ride {Arg}) and 'TDN Rising Star'/MGISW Gina Romantica, has been pensioned from broodmare duty by Machmer Hall. Carrie Brogden announced the news on social media Tuesday morning, saying “I broke the news to Special Me that she has been retired as a broodmare and is free to live out the rest of her days in happiness, at Machmer Hall. She loves being a mother and we have let her raise her babies. She is literally the toughest, strongest horse I have ever met. She has had knee arthritis from her racing days but has managed to produce four graded stakes winners and a $900,000 yearling from this year. We are delighted to have an Into Mischief filly, full sister to GI winner Gina Romantica, as her last foal to continue on her legacy. To say she has been special to this farm and so many people would be an understatement. Happy retirement, girl! We love you so much.” A half-sister to G1 Gulf News Dubai Golden Shaeen winner Our New Recruit (Alphabet Soup), Special Me produced her first foal in 2010 and then hit the very next year with Stonetastic who won both the GII Prioress Stakes and the GII Inside Information Stakes. Two years later in 2013 she foaled her first Grade I winner as Gift Box would go on to take the GI Santa Anita Handicap before retiring to stud at Lane's End. He was recently announced to have been sold to Saudi Arabia for the 2026 covering season. MGSW Special Forces, born in 2015, conquered several stakes at Woodbine and, in 2019, Special Me foaled Gina Romantica who became a seven-figure yearling grad and three-time Grade I winner. Yet to run in the family is the mare's 2-year-old named Keepsake Box (Twirling Candy) while she saw her yearling Flightline filly hammered down at $900,000 to WHS Stables during this month's Keeneland September Sale. Brogden still has the mare's aforementioned 2025 Into Mischief filly.

    • The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) announced Tuesday that jockey Paco Lopez has been suspended for six months, effective September 23, 2025. The suspension stems from Mr. Lopez's violation of the terms of his conditional reinstatement, related to a December 4, 2024 incident involving Mr. Lopez's use of the riding crop on the National Law (Constitution). “HISA remains committed to upholding the highest standards of safety and integrity in horse racing. We take any behavior that undermines the trust of participants and fans with the utmost seriousness, HISA said in its press release. “By enforcing rules consistently, we aim to promote fairness in the adjudication process, protect both horses and riders and preserve confidence in the integrity of the sport.” In its release HISA did not say what exactly Lopez had done to violate his conditional reinstatement. In a press release issued Tuesday shortly before the HISA release came out, PETA called for action against Lopez for violating whip rules aboard Book 'em Danno (Bucchero) in the GI Forego Stakes. This story will be updated.
