    • Back in my corporate days, this time of year was great as it was the season for company Xmas functions.  We always had one companies do the evening before the Bayer, so it was shut eye about midnight, then up at 4am to drive down to Levin (from Auckland), as we always got an invite from Bayer to the Classic day.  Couldn't do it these days but such a great time, especially to be able to see some of the greatest horses to race in NZ compete in the Bayer Classic
    • Last Sunday's GII Rebel Stakes third-place finisher Litmus Test (Nyquist) will stay in Hot Springs to contest the GI Arkansas Derby March 28 for trainer Bob Baffert. Speaking of his Arkansas runners from last weekend, Baffert said that while his GIII Honeybee Stakes winner Explora (Blame) had shipped back to California, Litmus Test would remain at Oaklawn through the end of the month. “I didn't want to bring him all the way back here and ship him back,” Baffert said. “He's there. I want to give him another chance. I didn't want to run here (Santa Anita). I've got other horses for here. Just splitting them up.” Litmus Test, who went off favored in the Rebel, weakened from the lead to finish third 5 1/4 lengths behind Class President (Uncle Mo) in his first start since winning the GII Los Alamitos Futurity Dec. 13. He currently sits eighth on Kentucky Derby leaderboard with 34 points. Of Explora, Baffert mentioned a potential next start in the GII Fantasy Stakes at Oaklawn March 27. “I'm just going to see how she responds out of that race,” Baffert said. “She'll definitely be nominated to the Fantasy. I'll have something in the Fantasy.” The post Litmus Test To Stay Oaklawn, Contest Arkansas Derby For Baffert appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Reappearing for the first time since debuting in a hot Newmarket July Festival maiden, Amo Racing and Valmont's Billecart (Night Of Thunder) made light work of his Thursday assignment at Newcastle to keep Classic dreams alive. Far too strong for his three peers in the mile novice on the Tapeta, the 380,000gns Tattersalls Book 2 purchase will be campaigned with the 2,000 Guineas and Irish equivalent in mind according to Karl Burke. “He had a little injury last year, but sometimes they can be a blessing and he's one of the ones I've been looking forward to seeing this season,” the trainer said. “He could come back here for the [Listed] Burradon, or we could look at a [Guineas] trial on turf.” Fourth behind the bright prospects Distant Storm (Night Of Thunder) and Constitution River (Wootton Bassett) in that key maiden which has spurned several winners, the 1-6 shot was cajoled to the front by Rowan Scott at halfway and saw off Shadwell's newcomer Wuood (Night Of Thunder) by five lengths.
