    • Appearing to lose all chance after a super-awkward start from the inside post, Meringue (Frosted) slowly reeled in her rivals over the course of Churchill's five-furlong turf test and was up just in time to earn 'TDN Rising Star' honors Thursday afternoon. Breaking from post 1, the grey was eased to the back of the field as 3-2 favorite Delightful Darling (Flameaway) went to the front, cutting out an opening quarter of :22.19 as Vibora (Hootenanny) pressed the issue in a close-up second. With those two fillies turned for home in tandem, Meringue was behind a wall of horses with several lengths left to make up on the leaders. Taken to the outside by Luan Machado for the stretch drive, the green but potent Rodolphe Brisset trainee filly closed with a sudden burst midstretch and swept to the front in the final strides to graduate by a neck over fellow-firsters Delightful Darling and Second City Saint (Raging Bull {Fr}), who was farther back in third. Vibora was fourth. Unplaced Catbrier, with this filly in utero, sold to Stephen and Denise Smith's Mesingw Farm for $32,000 at the Keeneland November Sale in 2022. Meringue, her first foal, was followed by a colt by Oscar Performance and a filly by Volatile this term.   1st-Churchill Downs, $118,987, Msw, 6-19, 2yo, f, 5fT, :56.98, fm, neck.

    • Signora has to be the starting point in the June 20 Albany Stakes (G3) at Ascot Racecourse, and the Aidan O'Brien-trained juveniles are flying this week. Everything points to her having all of the answers.View the full article
    • gee, and here is me thinking you knew all the 'rules' of things racing!  as in "the best way to improve a horses chance of winning is getting new owners!"
    • needing 30 jockeys! it would be a few years since a meeting in nz had that many riding at one meeting
    • Not a specific individual owner but that's where a lot of owners now spread the risk over a number of horses. A friend of mine has shares in a number of horses and the good ones make up for the bad ones and overall they have an enjoyable hobby for very little cost.  Recently one of them was sold - a two win horse from 11 starts but no return for the last 7.  So a strike rate of 5.5 BUT although talented wouldn't put in on race day.  Some trainers would have played it out for another full season or even two.
