Graded races at Santa Anita and Gulfstream Park have been renamed in honor of the late trainers D. Wayne Lukas and Christophe Clement, 1ST, which operates both racetracks, announced Wednesday. Beginning in 2026, the GII Santa Monica Stakes at Santa Anita will be renamed the D. Wayne Lukas Stakes, while the GIII La Prevoyante Stakes at Gulfstream Park has been renamed the Christophe Clement Stakes. “D. Wayne Lukas and Christophe Clement were not just generational horsemen, they were top-class people,” said 1/ST President Aidan Butler. “Santa Anita and Gulfstream were blessed to be their homes for many years. It is an honor to salute them for years to come at our tracks by renaming races that helped launch their success stories.” Lukas saddled Flack Flack to win the 1980 Santa Monica, then run as a handicap. It was the trainer's first Grade II race at Santa Anita Park and just his ninth graded stakes win since transitioning to Thoroughbreds from Quarter Horses. Lukas would go on to add five more Santa Monica's to his extensive resume with Parsley (1980), Bara Lass (1984), Pine Tree Lane (1987 and 1988) and the Hall of Fame filly Serena's Song (1996). Only trainer Bob Baffert's seven wins bests Lukas's record in the seven-furlong race, which has been contested since 1957. Lukas, who began his successful career based at Santa Anita Park in the 1970s-1990s, passed away June 28, less than three months before his 90th birthday. The 1992 La Prevoyante provided Clement with just the second graded stakes win of his young career when Irish-bred Sardaniya won for His Highness the Aga Khan, coming less than a month after his first graded win at Gulfstream Park. Currently run at Gulfstream over 1 1/2 miles on the grass for fillies and mares, the 1992 running at Calder was the first of Clement's six wins in the race, followed by Tampoli (1994), Caretta (1998 and 1999), Irish Mission (2014) and Beautiful Lover (2022). Clement passed away May 24 at age 59.

Things like 150-1 pacemakers winning the G1 Visit Qatar Sussex Stakes aren't supposed to happen, but as a rare reminder of the vagaries of horse racing, on Wednesday Juddmonte's Qirat (Showcasing) pulled off the shock outcome as Field Of Gold (Kingman) failed to fire. Only Rosallion (Blue Point) emerged from the pack of big favourites to threaten the upset late, but the Ralph Beckett-trained half-brother to Bluestocking kept producing to extend his Goodwood record to three-for-three. A neck separated them at the line, with 2 1/4 lengths back to Henri Matisse (Wootton Bassett) and Field Of Gold finishing 1 1/4 lengths away in fourth. “That was very surreal,” jockey Richard Kingscote said. “We set out to go an even pace, but when I looked around I was detached–on the rules of racing he was running on his own merits and likes the track, he's very well-balanced and a sweet horse who gave me a great spin. I could feel Rosallion coming, but he kept pulling out.” The post ‘That Was Surreal’: Kingscote Pulls Off 150-1 Sussex Shock On Field Of Gold’s Pacemaker Qirat appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Yulong continued their streak of acquiring topline racemares for their broodmare band on Wednesday when paying A$1.625 million for G1 Sistema Stakes winner Velocious, who was offered by Go Racing in the Inglis Digital July (Late) Sale. The daughter of Written Tycoon becomes the second highest-priced filly to ever sell through the platform, after Funstar (Adelaide) realised A$2.7 million in 2021. Offered as a broodmare prospect after the failure of a tie-back operation at the start of her three-year-old season, Velocious attracted global attention from bidders, but it was Yulong, signing as Walnut Farm, who won out, making her the 13th lot to make seven figures in the auction platform's history. “Mr Zhang has followed her for a few months now to see what was happening with her, and when she finally came onto the market, he was very keen to explore those options,” said Yulong's Sam Fairgray. “I think she'll likely visit More Than Looks. It appears to be a really nice mating there.” GI Breeders' Cup Mile winner More Than Looks, a son of successful dual hemisphere sire More Than Ready, joins the Yulong roster for his first season in 2025. “Velocious was a high-class two-year-old,” Fairgray added. “We own the mare [Parmalove] and she's carrying a full sibling to her now, so it's great to have Velocious joining the farm as well.” The post ‘She’ll Likely Visit More Than Looks’ – Yulong Buys A$1.625m Velocious On Inglis Digital appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
