    • Yes he was that price. If he wins the slipper he will certainly be a value buy. We can only hope SOS can get an Aus G1 2yo in his first crop.
    • Tom Ryan's observation that California graded stakes have been decimated by the graded stakes committee is spot on, but does not delve into the issue deeply nor address solutions. I applaud him speaking out against a system that adheres to a doctrine of the past, which evaluates many criteria while ignoring the fact that all graded stakes (save a select few) will be the domain of slot-enhanced, subsidized racetracks in the near term. The idea that the Breeders' Cup and/or Jockey Club could ignore this trend while sitting idly by points with clarity to why we should have little faith in our 'institutions' as champions of change. Supporting California graded stakes through purse supplementation, freezing the downgrading of stakes while attempting to create stability, and restoring the prior status of fixture races like the Santa Anita Oaks and others with set criteria is actionable and necessary. The phrase 'too big to fail,' applied to the banking industry and automobile industry, certainly applies to California racing. I challenge these organizations to prioritize the crisis and formulate a plan of action. Waiving registration fees and 'Win and You're In' won't save racing, but the loss of California racing will be felt in the sales ring and breeding shed in seismic proportions.

    • Off right at her morning-line odds of 5-1, West Point Thoroughbreds and William Sandbrook's PILLAR OF BEAUTY (f, 2, Caracaro–Port Marazion, by Point of Entry) took a gap at the fence at midstretch and outfinished the once-raced Elenique (Leinster) to open her account stylishly at first asking in the opening race Saturday afternoon at Gulfstream Park. Off to an alert beginning from gate two, the bay filly led for a stride or two from between rivals very early on before coming back to Junior Alvarado and finding the box seat from third. Just short of running room when the real running was about to begin approaching the eighth pole, Pillar of Beauty was angled down to the inside and was able to sustain her momentum, doing her best work through the line to graduate comfortably when all was said and done. Sales history: $16,000 RNA Ylg '24 KEESEP; $200,000 2yo '25 FTMMAY. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-West Point Thoroughbreds & William Sandbrook; B-Pope McLean, Marc McLean & Pope McLean Jr. (KY); T-Bill Mott   The post Caracaro Filly Pillar of Beauty a Professional Debut Winner appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
