Good old Grey Way….Sth island had some great horses running around in the 70s & 80s…. Sadly, horses racing now are well below that standard. It was great to see horses winning from everywhere yesterday at Oamaru, seemed most had their chance on the heavy track. Would rather see more racing there than Timaru and Ashburton, which has a leaders bias… -

Isaac Souede and Simon Munir's Green Sense (Starman) faded out of contention when 13th of 17 in Royal Ascot's G3 Albany Stakes last month, but bounced back in style to defeat her male peers and secure a breakthrough success in Sunday's G2 Goffs Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly. “She's a really good filly, she is very easy to ride and she won well,” said winning rider Maxime Guyon. “My instructions were to follow and then use her turn of foot. We were unsure of how she would handle the track as the going is soft today, but she handles it without any problems. It's not easy going against the colts, even with the weight allowance, but she did it well is good enough to win a Group 1.” Stalking the leaders in fourth until coming under pressure with a quarter-mile remaining in the straight six-furlong test, the 31-10 third choice gained a narrow advantage passing the furlong marker and was ridden out in the closing stages to hold the late threat of Super Soldier (Dark Angel) by a neck for a first black-type triumph. Completing an overseas trifecta, the pacesetting Archie Watson trainee Tadej (Ardad) rallied once headed to finish another neck adrift in third. Green Sense had opened up with a three-length tally at the Curragh in April and preceded her Royal Ascot run with a runner-up finish in May's G3 Naas Fillies Sprint. She is familiar with both of Tally-Ho resident Starman's two prior pattern-race winners, having finished behind Lady Iman at Naas and G2 Duchess Of Cambridge victrix Venetian Sun in the Albany. The winner retains a G1 Prix Morny nomination, but is unlikely to encounter the runner-up at Deauville next month, according to Super Soldier's trainer Karl Burke. “He's a lovely, honest horse and was a bit unlucky,” he said. “He had to be taken back to find a gap and then got blocked again. I'm not sure about the Morny as I have other horses lined up for that. The going is key with him and he wouldn't want it too quick. The [G2] Gimcrack would be perfect if it comes up decent ground.” Pedigree Notes Green Sense, who becomes the third pattern-race winner for her freshman sire, is the latest of eight foals and one of five scorers produced by a half-sister to multiple stakes-winning GII Commonwealth Stakes runner-up Cool Bullet (Red Bullet) and GIII Coolmore Lexington Stakes third Casper's Touch (Touch Gold). The May-foaled bay, whose second dam is Listed Ruthless Stakes winner Lizzy Cool (Saint Ballado), is a half-sister to G3 Grosser Preis von Lotto Hamburg victrix K Club (Kodiac) and the multiple stakes-placed Back To Brussels (Starspangledbanner). Green Sense hails from the family of GI Mother Goose Stakes and GI Acorn Stakes heroine Windy's Daughter (Windy Sea).

Putting an unplaced seasonal debut effort at Royal Ascot behind him on Sunday, Ballydoyle's Diego Velazquez (Frankel) proved that the seven-furlong trip of The Curragh's G2 Romanised Minstrel Stakes was well within his repertoire. Sent off the 11-8 favourite despite the Queen Anne no-show, last year's G2 Solonaway Stakes and G3 Meld Stakes winner made Ryan Moore work relatively early but gave what was required to score by a neck from the three-year-old East Hampton (Cracksman). “He had a tough comeback run and it didn't work out at Royal Ascot, but he showed a good attitude there and is a lovely horse,” his rider said. “He's an uncomplicated horse and there wasn't much pace, so I let him stride on. He tries hard and I'd like to think he'll come forward again.” The post Diego Velazquez Back On Track In The Minstrel appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

MGISW Raging Torrent (Maximus Mischief–Violet Wave, by Violence), whose strong resume made him the leading miler on dirt in North America, will be retired from racing after being diagnosed with a suspensory injury to his left foreleg according to his co-owner Craig Dado. The news was first reported by the Daily Racing Form's Steve Andersen on Saturday evening. Dado, whose Great Friends Racing co-owns the 4-year-old colt with Yuesheng Zhang, told DRF that the injury occurred in the weeks after the GI Hill 'n' Dale Metropolitan Mile Handicap at Saratoga June 7 and that discussions with stallion farms are underway for the 2026 breeding season. “With maybe a year off, he could come back,” Dado told Andersen in the DRF article. “We'll pass on that and retire him.” Trained by Chief Stipe O'Neill, Raging Torrent's record included seven wins across 14 starts and his earnings topped $1.1-million. During his 3-year-old campaign the bay won the Maxfield Overnight Stakes at Churchill Downs in late June and then captured the GII Pat O'Brien Stakes at Del Mar in late August. Though the colt finished seventh in the GI Cygames Breeders' Cup Sprint at the seaside oval in early November, he earned his first top level score in the GI Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita Dec. 26. O'Neill opted to send his charge to the G2 Godolphin Mile on Dubai World Cup Night in early April, and Raging Torrent did not disappoint with a trip to the winner's enclosure at Meydan. The capstone to his racing career came in the Met Mile when Raging Torrent won by 2 1/2 lengths over heavy favorite Fierceness (City of Light). Bred by Rodney J. Winkler & Alfonso Mazzetti, the first foal for Violent Wave was purchased by Mark Davis for $75,000 at the 2023 OBS Spring Sale. Out of an extended female family which includes GSW The Nth Degree (Distorted Humor), Raging Torrent was handed a half-brother by Up to the Mark in mid-March. In a post on his X account O'Neill said, “Raging Torrent matured into a pure competitor. He just wanted to beat you. We look forward to his second career. Antonio Romero, his exercise rider, and Andres Martinez, his groom, accompanied him to every dance. They are the epitome of horsemen.” The post GI Met Mile Hero Raging Torrent Retired With Suspensory Injury appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
