      Black-Type Analysis: ‘TDN Rising Star’ Tito Mo Cen Returns at Vichy

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      Wednesday, Vichy, France, post time: 21:15, GRAND PRIX DE VICHY-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, 10fT Field: Woodchuck (Fr) (Birchwood {Ire}), Mont De Soleil (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), Casapueblo (Ire) (Le Havre {Ire}), Cambronne (Fr) (Alex The Winner), Good Gift (Fr) (Territories {Ire}), Rose Jaipur (Fr) (Doctor Dino {Fr}), Tito Mo Cen (Ire) (Uncle Mo). TDN Verdict: Yeguada Centurion's TDN Rising Star Tito Mo Cen, successful in March's Listed Prix Maurice Caillault, makes his first start in 13 weeks and is the lone sophomore on show attempting to regain the winning thread after suffering a first reversal in April's G3 Prix Noailles last time. Andre Fabre seeks a record-equalling fourth edition and nominates Casapueblo, who has hit the board in four of his seven prior stakes outings. He was not disgraced when fifth in a piping-hot renewal of last month's G3 La Coupe, but is winless for the best part of two years. Woodchuck has been the model of consistency when venturing to Italy, earning prize-money in all seven starts there, and ran seventh in March's G3 Prix Edmond Blanc when last appearing in this jurisdiction. Mont De Soleil failed to beat a single rival in his last two starts, but is better than the bare form implies, while Rose Jaipur is the lone distaffer in the field and merits respect coming back off a win in May's Listed Prix Urban Sea. [Sean Cronin]. Wednesday, Vichy, France, post time: 19:41, HARAS DE BEAUMONT – PRIX DES JOUVENCEAUX & JOUVENCELLES – BERNARD FERRAND-Listed, €54,900, 2yo, 7fT Field: Siciliano (Fr) (Time Test {GB}), Mefie Toi (Fr) (De Treville {GB}), Canalejas (Fr) (Armor {GB}), Falou Chope (Fr) (Gutaifan {Ire}), Clea Chope (Fr) (Muhaarar {GB}), Here I Bow (Fr) (Bow Creek {Ire}), Free Movement (GB) (Time Test {GB}), Donnalucata (Fr) (Toronado {Ire}), Polly Shelby (Fr) (Space Blues {Ire}), Ceramic (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Christopher Head registered a maiden triumph last year, with subsequent G3 Preis der Winterkonigin runner-up La Guapisima making the breakthrough, and relies on another filly this time around. Alain and Gerard Wertheimer's hitherto undefeated Ceramic is the chosen one and she was value for much more, and then some, than the official winning margin of 1 1/2 lengths over this trip on debut at Compiegne last month. It would be unwise to discount Francis Graffard trainee Polly Shelby, who had the measure of Free Movement at Cholet before running third in a hot contest upped to seven furlongs at Saint-Cloud last month. Mefie Toi is on a roll, having won both latest starts going 55 yards shy of this distance at Lyon Parilly, and outwitted debutante Falou Chope in the second of those last month. The latter drops on the wrong side of a nine-pound swing here. [Sean Cronin]. Wednesday, Killarney, Ireland, post time: 18:50, IRISH STALLION FARMS EBF CAIRN ROUGE STAKES-Listed, €30,000, 3yo, 8f 40y Field: And So To Bed (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), Bella Isabella (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Ecstatic (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Fiery Lucy (GB) (Without Parole {GB}), Mojave River (Fr) (Mohaather {GB}), Nancy J (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), Orchidaceae (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}), Red Letter (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Rion Rubette (GB) (New Bay {GB}), Shiota (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}), Sweet Chariot (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Tamam Desert (Ire) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Wannabe Royal (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). TDN Verdict: TDN Rising Star and G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes fourth Red Letter gets a fourth opportunity of making her black-type breakthrough, and securing a second renewal for Ger Lyons, in this distaffers' test and will head postward coming back off a second in last month's Listed Kooyonga Stakes at Navan. The Gavin Cromwell-trained GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf fourth Fiery Lucy has finished second in three prior Group 3 starts and rates an obvious danger. Aidan O'Brien seeks a record-extending fourth edition and sends forth TDN Rising Star Ecstatic with Wayne Lordan, bidding for a record-breaking fourth of his own, in the plate. The January-foaled bay was last seen running eighth in Royal Ascot's G2 Ribblesdale and is accompanied by stablemate Sweet Chariot. [Sean Cronin]. Click here for the complete fields.

      Ascot Racecourse Announces 2024 Financial Results

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      Ascot Racecourse is set to return record prize-money of £17.75 million to the sport in 2025, having announced its financial results for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024. Turnover for that period rose by 2% to £113.1 million, with a pre-tax profit of £8.4 million – up from £5.9 million in 2023. The 2024 business summary highlighted several other points of interest: Gross profit was broadly static, reflecting the general inflationary economic conditions. whilst this also included an increase of £526k in the executive contribution towards prize-money. Profit before tax increased by £2.5m. EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation) rose by £549k (3.4%). Overhead costs decreased with the depreciation charge falling by nearly £1m as assets are fully written off and a drop in the base rate resulted in interest payable costs dropping by 16%. £5m of the (2004-2006 redevelopment) loan was repaid in 2024 (a £3m mandatory repayment and a voluntary partial early repayment of £2m). Net debt as at 31st December 2024 was £4.6m (2023 £9.5m). On-course attendance was largely unchanged year-on-year, with 513,869 racegoers in 2024 compared to 514,208 in 2023. There was £6.8m capital investment (up from £4.9m in 2023) in technology, sustainability enterprises and customer experience as part of the long-term strategy. In 2024, 12 of the top 20 (including ties) racehorses in the globally ratified Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings ran at Ascot, while internationally trained horses from Ireland, France, Germany, Australia and America travelled to race. Strong 2024 performance has enabled record planned prize=money in 2025 with £17.75m programmed, excluding the industry-owned QIPCO British Champions Day. The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes later this month will be run for a record £1.5m, making it Britain's equally most valuable race. Furthermore, the racecourse has invested more in its executive contribution by making it a 'run for free' race, with all horses that run having their entry fees refunded in full. Felicity Barnard, chief executive officer at Ascot Racecourse, said, “We were delighted to see continued revenue growth in 2024, reaching record levels of more than £113.1m. This reflects the popularity of our events, especially the enduring appeal of Royal Ascot which saw increased attendances year-on-year in 2024 (266,145 to 273,526) and was supported this year by a further 4.8% rise (286,541). “Generating increased revenues will allow us to reinvest back into the business, demonstrated by prize-money uplifts in 2025, most notably for the King George, which will become the richest race ever run at Ascot. “Ongoing investment in our venue and brand is vital to ensuring we consistently deliver a world-class experience for everyone who visits or engages with Ascot, across every touchpoint.” The post Ascot Racecourse Announces 2024 Financial Results appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
