    • Jockey Dylan Davis, who was injured in a spill Friday at Aqueduct, will be out of action indefinitely according to NYRA in a note released Saturday morning. Davis's agent, Mike Migliore, said that the jockey “sustained a broken right collarbone, multiple fractured ribs and a partially collapsed lung.” Davis was aboard Tarpaulin (Leofric) when Heavyweight Champs (Solomini) fell near the three-eighths pole unseating jockey Ricardo Santana, Jr. Tarpaulin made contact with Santana, Jr. and unseated Davis, who was placed on a backboard and immediately transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. Once stabilized, Davis was then transported to the ICU at North Shore University Hospital late Friday evening for additional testing and to begin his recuperation. “More than anything, I just want him to be healthy,” Migliore told NYRA. “He'll get to go home to his family one day soon and be OK. It could have been a lot worse. Thank God, the Lord was looking over him and we have good people looking out for him and he's going to get good care. We would also like to thank Bob Rosenthal, who provided important guidance with the transfer to North Shore. Dylan has received additional scans and X-rays to track the progress of his left lung. He's still uncomfortable, but all vitals are healthy. Dylan really appreciates all the well-wishes and now he just needs to rest and continue to heal.” Jockey Ricardo Santana, Jr. visited onsite first aid under his own power Friday and is back on his mounts Saturday. Additionally, jockey Sahin Civaci, who was injured at Aqueduct on Thursday after being unseated from Despo's Dream (Mitole), sustained hairline fractures to two vertebrae according to his agent Mike Sellitto. Civaci will follow up with an orthopedic specialist this week.

    • New French auction house AKTEM, dedicated to Thoroughbred and Arabian racehorses, was launched earlier this month. The new sales company will hold its physical sales at Maisons-Laffitte, as well as having an online auction presence beginning in the new year. Through an exclusive partnership with the French-based city of Maisons-Laffitte, AKTEM will benefit from the nearby racecourse and utlise the longest homestraight in Europe, which offers an ideal location and is perfectly suited infrastructure for hosting sales and welcoming horses and professionals. Recently renovated, the track offers optimal conditions for two-year-old breeze up sales. ATKEM will open 10% of its capital in a cooperative approach. Set at €2,500, the shareholding entry will provide access to numerous opportunities, including: reduced entry fees for sales–€550 per horse for all sales, compared with €750 for non-shareholders; deployment of shuttle services for horse transport to sales venues to facilitate logistics; and personalized communication support to promote the horses presented. AKTEM will also be chartering flights from England and Ireland to facilitate the arrival of foreign buyers and maximise commercial opportunities. They will also offer premium hospitality for both people and horses. The 2026 sales dates are as follows: February 13, online sale featuring stallion shares and breeding rights May 15, Maisons-Laffitte: Grand Steeple-Chase Selection Sale featuring two-year-old stores and NH performers, on the eve of the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris June 3, Maisons-Laffitte: Paris Breeze-Up Sale October 16, Maisons-Laffitte: NH 48 Hours Sale, featuring young National Hunt horses, ahead of the NH 48 hours at Auteuil September 8-9, Maisons-Laffitte: Flat Yearling Sale Purebred Arabian sales with the dates to be announced in partnership with AFAC Said AKTEM's Sofiane Benaroussi who is an owner/breeder himself, “Since entering the horse racing industry in 2022, I have wanted to contribute by innovative initiatives to bring dynamism and attractiveness to this fascinating world. This is how GALORAMA, a 360° French media platform dedicated to horse racing, was first created within the Group. Noticing a decline in activity in certain segments of the racehorse auction market in France, and recognising the entrepreneurial opportunities this situation presents, the adventure expanded with a second, independent project: AKTEM. My hope is that this new venture benefits everyone — it's not about keeping the whole cake at the expense of others, but about sharing it so we can move forward together. “With AKTEM, breeders can become true market players and take part in its revitalisation; investors gain a new, friendly, committed and agile entry point. The AKTEM team, currently being assembled, is eager to welcome the first sales. I would like to thank everyone involved in this project, as well as the City of Maisons-Laffitte, in particular Yann Quenot and Franck Lelièvre, who immediately embraced the idea and are exciting to join us on this journey toward 2026.” The post New French Auction House AKTEM Launched appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Sunday, Kyoto, Japan, post time: 15:40, QUEEN ELIZABETH II CUP-G1, ¥252,980,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 2200mT Field: Paradis Reine (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Stellenbosch (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), Shinryokuka (Jpn) (Satono Diamond {Jpn}), Kana Tape (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Safira (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}), Erika Express (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), Regaleira (Jpn) (Suave Richard {Jpn}), Vermicelles (Jpn) (Gold Ship {Jpn}), Bond Girl (Jpn) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}), Sekitoba East (Jpn) (Declaration Of War), Verehrung (Jpn) (Gold Ship {Jpn}), Lilac (Jpn) (Orfevre {Jpn}), Coconuts Brown (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Kelly Fled Ask (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}), Aurora X (Jpn) (Satono Diamond {Jpn}), Lynx Tip (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}). TDN Analysis: Dual Group 1 winner Regaleira could easily boss this field, and just won the G2 Sankei Sho All Comers Stakes in September. Japanese 1000 Guineas victress Stellenbosch needs to show a spark here, as she has been out of the top three in her previous starts this year. Several fillies return from the G1 Shuka Sho field, among them the second and third in G3 Fairy Stakes heroine Erika Express and Paradis Reine. Kana Tape, a winner of the 1600-metre G3 Sekiya Kinen two back in record time, might find the QEII Cup real estate a bridge too far. Click here for the complete field.

    • John and Chelsey Stewart's Resolute Racing was represented by its first winner in Australia on Nov. 14 when the beautifully bred 3-year-old filly Ernaux (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) took out a maiden handicap contest at Canterbury Park in Sydney over 1100 meters. Beaten for speed and settled inside near the back of a seven-strong field beneath Kerrin McEvoy, Ernaux was ridden for luck with $2.20 (6-5) favorite Pyrolysis (Aus) (Zoustar {Aus}) to catch turning into the straight. Continuing to find at the fence, she was steered away from the inside and was shoved across the line narrowly best to strike at odds of 6-1. Bred in New South Wales by Katom and offered through the Coolmore draft at the 2024 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, the daughter of G1 Oakleigh Plate heroine Booker (Aus) (Written Tycoon {Aus}) was knocked down to Resolute for A$3 million ($1,971,134), second only to the A$10 million for the Pierro (Aus) filly out of Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Aus}). All totaled, Resolute purchased six horses for A$5.44 million at the 2024 Easter Sale. Trained by Chris Waller for a partnership that also includes Coolmore, Westerberg and J Poulin, Ernaux had placed in three of her previous six appearances, including a runner-up effort in the soft at Newcastle in New South Wales on Nov. 1.   The post Resolute Racing Represented By First Australian Winner appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
