    • I'm starting to come to the conclusion you are Anti-NZ Racing.  Why promote avenues for taking revenue away from NZ Racing?   You no doubt believe you have seen the best of NZ Racing and now that you are retiring from it you want to absolve your conscious.
    • In the midst of a Saratoga rainstorm, STARS AND STRIPES (c, 3, Not This Time–Pearl River, by Quality Road) faced winners for the first time and came away with another authoritative win for Bill Mott. The 4-5 favorite, who broke his maiden by 10 1/2 lengths at Aqueduct over a sloppy track June 15, took his time getting into the race until it almost seemed too late as pacesetter Rocketeer (Curlin) had a several-length cushion at the quarter pole. But, once called upon, Stars and Stripes responded with enthusiasm, quickly overhauling the leader and clearing off at will under Jose Lezcano. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-1. O-Frassetto Stables LLC; B-Pam & Martin Wygod; T-Bill Mott. Sales History: $100,000 ylg '23 KEESEP.

    • Ballydoyle's Minnie Hauk (Frankel) looks to have a relatively straightforward task of completing a Classic double in Saturday's G1 Juddmonte Irish Oaks at The Curragh, with three of her six rivals from her own stable. Set to start long odds-on, the Oaks heroine will be joined by Butterfly Wings (Justify), Island Hopping (Wootton Bassett) and Merrily (No Nay Never). Joseph O'Brien re-opposes again with Cayton Park Stud's Oaks fourth Wemightakedlongway (Australia), with the other runners being Craig Bernick's Bay Colony (New Bay) from the Fozzy Stack stable and Newtown Anner Stud Farm's maiden Subsonic (Lope De Vega) from the Johnny Murtagh stable.

    • Dual Hall-of-Fame Trainer Mark Casse picked up the 4,000th win in his illustrious career when D. J. Stable's It's Witchcraft (Tapit) prevailed by a nose in a three-horse photo finish in the 11th race at Colonial Downs July 17. Assistant Nick Tomlinson posed in the winner's circle with the sign congratulating Casse on the milestone score. Casse was at his Saratoga base where he had numerous chances to pick up the win there. “That was a close one. It's unbelievable to me to be honest. 4,000 that's a lot of wins and I joked that that means I lost a lot (of races), too,” Casse said from Saratoga. “For someone like me, who has spent my entire life–this is all I've ever done, this is the cherry on top. I told my wife I'd retire if hit 5,000–she doesn't believe me, so I said maybe 6,000.” The score was also number 2,600 for owner D.J. Stable, who have teamed with Casse on runners like champion 2-year-old filly Wonder Wheel (Into Mischief), GSW Webslinger (Constitution) and MGSW Nitrogen (Medaglia d'Oro). 11th-Colonial Downs, $73,200, Alw, 7-17, (NW2L), 3yo, f, 1mT, 1:37.48, fm, nose. IT'S WITCHCRAFT (f, 3, Tapit–Lady's Island {MGSW, $665,575}, by Greatness) became Mark Casse's 4,000th career winner Thursday in dramatic fashion at Colonial Downs. This seven-figure daughter of Tapit, who earned a black-type placing as a juvenile in the Our Dear Peggy Stakes at Gulfstream over he same distance, was coming off back to back stakes runs and was last fourth going 1/16th longer in the Martha Washington at Gulfstream June 7. Cutting back to the mile Thursday and racing without blinkers, It's Witchcraft split the field around the clubhouse turn before making headway towards the front to challenge for the lead past the half-mile pole in :49.90. Caught between runners in a thrilling stretch duel, It's Witchcraft just prevailed by the narrowest of margins over Ambaya (Ghostzapper) to give Casse the win. The first foal out of MGSW Lady's Island who herself RNA'd at KEENOV in 2023 for $575,000, It's Witchcraft has three full-brothers all still to race behind her. Lady's Island went back to Tapit for another full-sibling in 2026. Sales History: $1,100,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: SP, 9-2-2-1, $124,833.
