Having a grade 1 win at Saratoga Race Course is a huge asset when it's time to run in another grade 1 at the Spa. But all grade 1s are not the same. Especially at Saratoga.View the full article -

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk There’ll be a new Borcoskie in the sulky at Addington on Sunday. Just 17, Thomas Borcoskie will make his race day debut when he drives two horses trained by his father Paul. Mount Thomas will be at big odds in Race 2, the Thank You , Bill and Helen Bishop and Canty Equine Trot (1.07pm), while Archer will be well-supported in Race 3, the Woodlands Stud Producing World-class Equine Athletes Pace (1.45pm). In Race 2 he will line up against some very familiar faces, most notably his uncle Brent Borcoskie who trains and will drive Bacardi Doll At $67 Mount Thomas is not expected to be a factor with Tom Borcoskie saying “he doesn’t have a lot of high speed and will probably benefit from the grass tracks”. In contrast, Archer heads back to the races after a win two starts back when Blair Orange speared him to the front then took the perfect trail before getting up on the markers. Archer is currently a $5.50 equal third favourite behind Arizonawildcat ($2.60) and Wolf Of Wall Street ($3.90). Both Mount Thomas and Archie race in the blue and gold colours that were used by Tom’s grandfather Brian Borcoskie, who died in March. Based at Sefton in North Canterbury, the family’s been involved in many good horses over the years including Silk Brocade (15 wins) and The Bloss (18 wins). “The first time I went to the races with Dad and Grandad it was with Jaffa Josh and he actually won a maiden pace,” says Borcoskie. That was in January 2020 with the Borcoskie-bred son of Auckland Reactor winning at Addington. Jaffa Josh was later sold and raced in Australia and North America, winning 20 races. Still at school (St Bede’s College) where he’s in the first 11 cricket team (opening batsman) Tom Borcoskie views harness racing as a “bit of a hobby”. He has plans on heading to university and a career potentially in rural valuation. Much of his harness racing education has come from his own family with help from Robbie Holmes – “he lives about 1k up the road from our farm” – as well as the likes of Tom Bagrie and Bob Butt. In preparation for his debut he’s had 35 drives at the trials. “There’s a bit of nerves but not too much now … but there will be closer to the time.” View the full article -

Puca (Big Brown), the dam of the classic winning full-brothers Mage (Good Magic) and Dornoch, will be offered at Fasig-Tipton's 'Night of the Stars' Nov. 3, John Stewart told Ron Flatter on his podcast on Horse Racing Nation on Friday. Stewart, the owner of Resolute Racing, told Flatter that Puca had not gotten into foal this year. “She's 13 [and] she's empty. The broodmare of the year, we're taking her to the Night of the Stars, and we'll see what happens.” Stewart said on the podcast that he expected a $5-million reserve would be set for Puca, who was taken home by Resolute for $2.9-million during Keeneland November in 2023. “I think it's going to take north of $5 million to buy her,” Stewart said. “We paid $2.9 million for her. I don't want to put horses with unrealistic expectations even though some people think that. You know, the guy that [says] his toys are always worth more than everybody else's toys. I'm an investor at the end of the day. I may think she's worth $20 million, right? That's not like a market asset.” When Stewart purchased her, a full-brother to Mage and Dornoch was in-utero. The productive mare is also responsible for MGISP Baeza (McKinzie) and an early May filly once again by Good Magic. “She foaled late this year,” said Resolute's owner. “We were going to send her to Frankel. That's what I would do if I had kept her. He's the best stallion in the world. I think that there's turf in the pedigree. She's already proven on dirt what she can do. To take her to the next level and showing her [via turf], I understand that. But there's a commercial part of this business as well.” Currently, Puca is not in foal after having visited multiple leading North American sire Into Mischief. During the podcast, Stewart told Flatter that buying Puca back could be a possibility.
