    • Juddmonte Farms's Laurel River (Into Mischief) has been removed from consideration for the $20-million G1 Saudi Cup on Feb. 22 after picking up a minor injury that will require 'two weeks' rest', according to a tweet from racing personality Nick Luck, who was first to report the news. “Just a knock apparently, but it prevented him from getting in a critical workout before traveling,” Juddmonte USA's General Manager Garrett O'Rourke said in a text message. “Will wait for the Dubai World Cup.” Trained by Bhupat Seemar, the homebred 7-year-old demolished a field including defending champion Ushba Tesoro (Jpn) (Orfevre {Jpn}) and 2024 Saudi Cup hero Senor Buscador (Mineshaft) in last year's World Cup, for which he was recently recognized as the world's joint top-rated runner in the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings. Put away for the season with an eye on the Saudi Cup and a title defense at Meydan in April, Laurel River returned to action in the G3 Firebreak Stakes on the Fashion Friday program Jan. 24. Aggressive in the run beneath his regular rider Tadhg O'Shea, Laurel River carried what appeared to be an insurmountable advantage into the final 400 meters, but he began to feel the pinch, shortened stride and was nabbed on the wire by King Gold (Fr) (Anodin {Ire}). Seemar told the Dubai Racing Club: “He had a small setback in training and missed his intended workout for the Saudi Cup. We will keep him in Dubai and aim him at the Dubai World Cup.” Laurel River began his career under the care of Bob Baffert, winning four of seven starts, including the GII Pat O'Brien Stakes in 2022. The would-be favorite for that year's GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, he was taken out in the days leading up to the race and was transferred to Seemar. After faltering in a Group 3 sprint over 1200 meters on his local debut last winter, the bay bounced back in no uncertain terms in the G3 Burj Nahaar, a course-and-distance prep for the G2 Godolphin Mile. Connections elected to take their shot in the World Cup instead and the results were sensational, as he had 8 1/2 lengths on Ushba Tesoro on the wire. A full field of 14 is still expected for the 1800-meter contest. With Laurel River's defection, Wootton'sun (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) is eligible to draw in from the reserves. He is also entered for the G2 Red Sea Turf Handicap over 3000 meters.

    • With the 2025 breeding season upon us, the TDN staff is once again sitting down with leading breeders to find out what stallions they have chosen for their mares, and why. Susan Anderson is involved in every aspect of the industry as an owner, breeder, and trainer. She runs Point Of View Farm in Ohio, where she bred 'TDN Rising Star' GSW Jonathan's Way (Vekoma), who currently sits in eighth on the 'Road to the Kentucky Derby' leaderboard with 15 points. Anderson shares her 2025 mating plans, including for her newest additions to her broodmare band–a homebred stakes winner and the half-sister to Jonathan's Way. Female Drama (18, Indian Charlie-Newhall Road, by Dixieland Band) to be bred to Twirling Candy. Female Drama is currently in foal to Nashville and is going to Twirling Candy this year. I decided she deserves a proven stallion and Twirling Candy fits that bill. She nicks well with him and I love him as a sire. Windsail (14, Grand Appointment–Windcat, by Iroquois Park) to be bred to Kingsbarns. Windsail is going to Kingsbarns. I loved him immediately when I saw him. He fits Windsail physically as she is a big mare and he is average in height but very fast looking with a great shoulder and nice hip. She is the dam of SW Windy Lu Who (Justin Phillip), MSP Angel's Sassy (Cinco Charlie), and SP Maleah (Mitole). Her 2024 filly is by Drain the Clock and Windsail currently in foal to Two Phil's. Bode's Rose (6, Bodemeister–Female Drama, by Indian Charlie) to be bred to Vekoma. She is a maiden mare and a half-sister to Jonathan's Way, which is the reason for my choice, as well as MSP Startdfromdabottom (Kantharos). I believe she fits Vekoma physically as well. Angel's Sassy (7, Cinco Charlie–Windsail, by Grand Appointment) to be bred to Bolt d'Oro. Angel's Sassy is a young, unproven stakes-placed mare. Her first foal is a yearling colt by Jimmy Creed. She is in foal to Drain the Clock and is booked to Bolt d'Oro. He is a great value at $15,000 this year. Angel's Sassy is an A+ Nick with him. Windy Lu Who (8, Justin Phillip–Windsail, by Grand Appointment) to be bred to Arabian Lion. Windy Lu Who is a stakes winning mare by Justin Phillip. She was my first stakes winner as the breeder and has earnings over $300,000. She is booked to Arabian Lion. He is a second-year sire and she nicks very well with him.
