    • For C R K Stable, owned by Lee and Susan Searing of Claremont, Calif., the celebration actually started the day before the GI Pennsylvania Derby won by Baeza (McKinzie). The Searings own Baeza, who is trained by John Shirreffs, in partnership with Grandview Equine. His victory came just 27 1/2 hours after the stable unveiled a horse who could potentially be better than Baeza. Yes, 'TDN Rising Star' Englishman (Maxfield) was that impressive. The son of a first crop sire, he annihilated a field of maidens at Churchill Downs winning by 7 1/4 lengths, covering the seven furlongs in 1:21.35, just two-fifths off the track record held by 2013 GI Filly & Mare Sprint winner Groupie Doll (Bowman's Band). She established the new record for seven furloughs on the dirt at Churchill Downs when winning the 2012 GI Humana Distaff Stakes. Englishman earned a 97 Beyer, which is third best among all 2-year-olds this year and that mark puts him behind Grade I winners Brant (Gun Runner) and Ted Noffey (Into Mischief)–also owners of 'TDN Rising Star' badges. It wasn't just the time. He broke sharply but was pressed down the backstretch by $1.4-million OBS April grad Tagermeen (Into Mischief), who was the 9-5 favorite in the race. At the top of stretch, he took off, leaving Tagermeen in his tracks. Englishman was geared down inside the final sixteenth, no longer being asked for his best run by jockey Jose Ortiz. Lee Searing's C R K had a stellar weekend | Benoit None of this came as a surprise to trainer Cherie DeVaux. “We felt he was really talented,” DeVaux said. “We saw that from the start, the breaking process when April Mayberry had him before we started working him. He tipped his hand when he worked from the gate. He went in 59 2/5, but it was basically just a gallop for him. We were hoping he would run well, but I don't think anybody could have expected to see what he did on the track. “Yes, he was the most impressive 2-year-old maiden winner I've ever had. You have to consider that he's just a 2-year-old and really not had not had the screws tightened totally on him.” His debut came too late to make the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. “Running in the Breeders' Cup this year is not the goal for him,” she said. “He has a bright future ahead of him. He's going to develop and we'll have to see how far he can carry that speed. We'll probably just wait until Churchill opens back up and go from there.” She said options include the GII Kentucky Jockey Club or a one-turn allowance race under the Twin Spires. “We'll look at the Churchill condition book when it comes out and weigh all our options,” she said. Englishman was purchased by April Mayberry for $400,000 at the 2024 Keeneland September sale and is own solely by C R K. Mayberry buys for the Searings and breaks their yearlings before sending them on to their future trainers. DeVaux may soon unveil what could be another star 2-year-old residing in her barn. She is the trainer of Nymue (War Front) an unraced 2-year-old filly out of Zenyatta (Streeet Cry {Ire} and her last foal. Zenyatta has not produced a winner from five previous foals. But DeVaux has high hopes for the filly, who was bred by Ann Holbrook Moss and the Jerome S. Moss Trust. Englishman cools off after a hot start to his career | Horsephotos Nymue recorded her first workout on Aug. 5 at Saratoga, going four furlongs in :50.08. But she has not drilled since Aug. 23. “She just had a little setback,” DeVaux said. “She's almost 17 hands so she's had some problems you get early on with such big horses. We just have to push her forward and then wait for the body to catch up. We're just in one of those spells.” DeVaux likes what she has seen so far. “Physically, she's the spitting image of Zenyatta,” DeVaux said. “They look exactly the same, the same big black coat with a blaze. You can definitely tell she is Zenyatta's daughter. She's going to be a two-turn filly because she's just so big. When she does run its going to be two turns. She doesn't have speed but she carries it. She has huge strides and carries her stride throughout. When we get her back breezing it will be exciting to know that we're getting close to a race.” The post ‘TDN Rising Star’ Englishman Kicks Off Huge Weekend For C R K Stable appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Quite frankly I can't be bothered.  Everytime you negative numpties post statements like you and @Newmarket a quick check of the stats prove you wrong. Te Akau are already over $550k and 14 wins ahead of the last years premiership second place.  Yet we don't see any comments about how bad that stable is doing this year.
