The multiple Group winner Topgear has been retired from racing and will stand at Capital Stud for the 2026 breeding season. The son of Wootton Bassett will command a fee of €7,500. Topgear was unbeaten in three starts as a juvenile for trainer Fabrice Chappet, culminating with a narrow success in the G3 Prix Eclipse at Chantilly. Transferred to the care of Christopher Head after failing to add to his tally in six starts the following season, the Hisaaki Saito-owned colt then peaked towards the end of his four-year-old campaign when he registered consecutive wins in the G3 Prix du Pin at ParisLongchamp and the G2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket. He won by five and a half lengths on the last occasion and ended the season with a Timeform rating of 123. “We are incredibly excited to be standing what is one of the highest-rated sons of Wootton Bassett at Capital Stud,” the operation's Ger O'Neill said of Topgear, who also won the G3 Prix du Palais-Royal on his return to action in May this year, beating the subsequent G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Sajir (Make Believe). “Topgear is a horse we have been tracking for quite some time and it is an honour to be partnering with Mr Saito for his stallion career. Just as exciting for us is that we are offering equity shares in him to the public, so we look forward to partnering with multiple breeders and going on this journey together for what will hopefully be a great long-term success for everyone that gets involved. “We are still a relatively new stallion farm on the scene, but being able to offer a horse of this standard to breeders is what it's all about for us, so we'll be doing everything we possibly can to make a success of him.” Bred by Snig Elevage, Topgear sold for €200,000 at the Arqana Deauville September Yearling Sale and is one of four winners from as many runners out of the winning Giant's Causeway mare Miss Lech. His second dam is a sibling to three stakes performers, while the third dam, the Listed Hopeful Stakes scorer Rose Indien (Crystal Glitters), is a half-sister to the G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris-winning sire Majorien and the G2 Prix de Malleret scorer America (Arazi). The latter is herself the dam of the G1 Melbourne Cup-winning sire Americain. Sebastian Desmontils, racing manager to Hisaaki Saito, added, “We were honoured to race Topgear and were very keen to retain an interest in his stallion career. We are delighted to have retained shares in him for the next phase of Topgear's career at Capital Stud and intend to offer him as much support as we can both in the breeding shed and in the sales ring.” Castle Star will complete Capital Stud's Flat roster for 2026, standing for €3,000.

All race day test samples (post-race and TCO2) collected from contenders in the 2025 Breeders' Cup held Oct. 31-Nov. 1 at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club have been cleared by the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit (HIWU) and purse distribution has begun accordingly, the organizer said in a press release on Friday. In 2025, the Breeders' Cup was run for a third year under the full jurisdiction of the Horseracing Integrity & Safety Authority (HISA), including the Anti-Doping and Medication Control (ADMC) Program, which took effect in May of 2023 and is administered and enforced by HIWU. As was the case under Breeders' Cup's anti-doping and medication control rules that were in place before HISA's ADMC Program was implemented, the vast majority of medication is prohibited within 48 hours of the 14 Championship races and the undercard. All potential Breeders' Cup competitors were also subject to out-of-competition testing for banned substances leading up to the two-day global festival of racing.

By Michael Guerin Nobody loves consolation prizes. They are nice and all and even more so when they come with winning part of the $200,000 stake Friday’s Allied Security NZ Pacing Free at Addington did. Leap To Fame won that lion’s share with his lion’s heart carrying him to the winner’s circle just days after his humungous second in the IRT New Zealand Cup. Most horses would have still been at home, having an nice nap in the Canterbury sun, but Larry did what Larry does. He got up, went to work and as almost always happens when he is able to lead he won, holding out Republican Party and Merlin. This was a Group 1. No small deal and yet for Leap To Fame it was the “other” race he wanted to win this week. You could tell as much as co-trainer Trista Dixon got Larry ready to leave Addington, as well as herding the kids while husband Grant was out on a catch drive in the last race. “It has been a great week and obviously we didn’t get the Cup but he still went so well so we were really proud,” says Dixon. “It is lovely to pick up this race and show everybody he still has it, which we never doubt. “But I think he is looking to get home. He will fly to Sydney and have a night at Robbie’s (Morris) stables and then be home by I think Wednesday. “He has been away from home for a long time and has done such a wonderful job.” Leap To Fame looked like a horse who had been away from home for ages. We all know how it feels. You get tired, miss your routine, things just become that little bit harder. And sitting parked for 3200m in a New Zealand Cup wouldn’t have done a lot for his sense of humour either. So yes we didn’t see the absolute best of Leap To Fame in the Free-For-All on Friday. But even below his peak, tired after Tuesday and ready to go home, he won a Group 1 beating the best pacer in New Zealand this spring and the Free-For-All defending champion. He achieved most horse’s career highlight as an afterthought. Thanks for coming Larry, get home safe. View the full article
