    • Canterbury Park is proposing a 51-day Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse meet for 2025 that will trim three dates off the schedule that was conducted at the Minnesota track in 2024 while also including a nine-day break in the middle of next year's season. The schedule, which will be up for approval at the December meeting of the Minnesota Racing Commission, will run from Saturday, May 24 through Saturday, Sept. 20, beginning one week later and concluding one week earlier than this past season. Racing would be conducted primarily on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 5 p.m. (CT) and Sundays at 1 p.m. Thursday programs at 5 p.m. are planned for six dates (July 3, 10, 24; Aug. 7 and 21, plus Sept. 18), and the nine-day break is slotted from July 14-22. “We have proposed a calendar that works well for our horse population and offers multiple opportunities to enter and race,” Canterbury president Randy Sampson said. “We look to build on the success of last season with continued handle and field size growth.” The recently concluded meet saw a 13% increase in handle and a 13% increase in Thoroughbred field size. Canterbury ran 54 dates in 2023 and 2024 and had been approved for 65 dates as recently as 2022 and 2021. Stall applications will be available in March and are due in mid-April. The stable area is expected to be open for arrivals in the second week of May. The first condition book and stakes schedule will be released in the first quarter of 2025. A $15 million stable area and racing infrastructure improvement project is nearing completion. The project began in 2023 with the addition of a 36-unit dormitory, a complete replacement of the main track lighting system, and a reconfiguration of the training track. This past season saw the opening of three new barns that provided a summer home to more than 300 horses, the installation of a new safety rail on the main track, the relocation of the stable entrance gate, and construction of a main track chute to accommodate races at seven furlongs. Expected to be completed in May is a 33-pad permanent RV park and newly paved circulation roads throughout the backside and barn areas. “We believe improvements and changes made to our backstretch and racing infrastructure make Canterbury Park the best and safest place to train and race in the Midwest,” Sampson said.

    • Khozan, Florida's leading general sire annually since 2020, has relocated from Journeyman Farm and will stand the upcoming breeding season at Ocala Stud for $6,000 S&N, the breeding outfit said in a Wednesday press release. “We're excited to welcome Khozan to Ocala Stud,” said David O'Farrell. “He has proven his ability to sire top-class racehorses, and we're looking forward to offering breeders the opportunity to breed to the state's leading sire.” By Distorted Humor out of the MGSW A.P. Indy mare Delta Princess, Khozan was Florida's leading first-crop Sire in 2019 and has topped the state's list each of the last four years. Journeyman's Brent Fernung said, “Standing stallions is a seven-day-a-week job. Crystal [Fernung] and I decided towards the end of last breeding season that it was time for us to redirect our energy elsewhere. When we discussed where to move Khozan to, Ocala Stud was the only choice. The O'Farrells do a great job, and we know we are leaving Khozan in the best of hands.” The post Multiple Leading Florida Sire Khozan Relocated To Ocala Stud For 2025 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Group 1 winner and G1 2000 Guineas third Al Wukair (Ire) will stand at Yeguada La Serreta in Spain, the stud announced on X on Wednesday. The son of Dream Ahead was previously based at Al Shaqab's Haras de Bouquetot. Trained by Andre Fabre, the bay won both of his starts at two including the Listed Prix Isonomy. At three, he added the G3 Prix Djebel, before running third to Churchill (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the 2000 Guineas. Second in the G3 Prix Messidor later that summer, he added the G1 Prix Jean Prat in August of 2017. He was retired to Haras de Bouquetot for the 2018 season. The sire of 98 winners from 193 runners, the 10-year-old is credited with a trio of stakes winners. La Mehana (Fr) won the GIII Waya Stakes in the U.S., while Princess Badee (Fr) struck in the G3 Hamburger Stutenpreis. Al Wukair's eldest foals are 5-year-olds of 2024. He stood for €5,000 this term. A fee will be announced at a later date.
