    • personally i think the michael house horses are relatively consistent,but some can have their good days and bad,just like other trainers. Don't see anything unusual ever happens with that stable. like yesterday,santanna mach had been running below par for its last few starts,but he was well paced in not a very strong field yesterday and seemed to improve enough on recent runs to win again.I didn't pick him to win,based on the recent racing but wasn't over surprsed he won based on what hes capable of.Beudiene quick step from the same stable is another that can be like that. Actually yesterdayn i had thought w house first 2 drives would win,delightful dreams and ask me lazarus,but both ran well below their last start runs.Still they will probably bounce back again quickly.I think w house choses what he thinks is the best drive each time,just sometimes it doesn't quite turn out that way. b munro doesn't drive too many,but him driving never puts me off. He doesn't drive much and that win yesteday took his udr back up to .2278 for this year. last year it was .3232 and the year before he only had 1 drive and it ran 2nd. I have no idea of who he works for but always got the impression he had something to do with that b mcintyres horses down south and hes had some nice handy horses. he of course got a bit of publicity one time for being a bit insensitive with his language on the rugby field. That was a strange story that seemed to be blown out of proportion . At the time it seemed a sign of the times and i found it sort of funny when you looked at the context of him having been a canterbury rugby maori representative. But hey,maybe thats just my sense of humour. anyway,i has a small bet on it ,just based on  how healthy and relaxed it was pre race,knowing it had shown the odd glimpse of speed in the past and that i had never noted it looking so good in the past.Of course its always easy to say that after the race,but thats what it appeared like pre race..I saw nothing of concern about the way it won. It wasn't a win based on endless stamina,it simply just had too much speed for the horses it ran against last night.
    • Following an Oct. 22 training session at Churchill Downs, trainer Eddie Kenneally highlights Comport's training and why he deserves a shot in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) at Del Mar Oct. 31.View the full article
    • Who knows.  Waitak was an early fave for the Derby after placing in the Waikato and Avondale Guineas.  Then 2nd up as a 4-year-old won the Railway in the fashion of a champion. Never raced past 1600m after that until March this year when they started putting it over 2000m+, and it wins the Awapuni Gold Cup and Livamol. You would have to say, that even Wexford were guessing
    • With international sire star Justify leading the way, as well as four future stallions all set to run in next week's Breeders' Cup World Championships, Coolmore America's Ashford Stud released fees for the Central Kentucky farm's 2026 stallion roster Wednesday afternoon. Heading the roster is 2018 Horse of the Year and Triple Crown winner Justify, who will stand for $200,000 next season. With his fourth crop racing now, Justify has 27 graded winners and 52 black-type winners, including U.S. and Australian champions, as well as British, Irish, and French highweights. In addition to established multiple Grade I-producing sires like Practical Joke ($75,000) and Munnings ($45,000), as well as a number of young sires, Ashford has four stallions who will have their first runners next year: Corniche ($15,000), Epicenter ($25,000), Jack Christopher ($15,000), and Golden Pal ($25,000). Three future Ashford stallions will clash in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 1: Fierceness (City of Light), Journalism (Curlin), and Sierra Leone (Gun Runner), while Citizen Bull (Into Mischief) will contest the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile on the same day. Citizen Bull, Fierceness, and Sierra Leone are all previous Breeders' Cup winners, Eclipse champions, and 'TDN Rising Stars, presented by Hagyard', while Journalism is a Classic winner and multiple Grade I winner this year. The fees for all four will be determined at a later date, with Journalism the only one who hasn't officially been announced as ready to retire following the 2025 racing season. “With the three new stallion prospects set to retire for 2026 all lining up at the Breeders' Cup, there is a great sense of anticipation here,” said Coolmore America's Director of Sales Charlie O'Connor. “Last year's one-two Sierra Leone and Fierceness renew their rivalry in the Classic, and we, along with all our partners, will also be watching 'iron horse' Journalism with great interest. We believe Citizen Bull has been working very well in the lead-up to the Dirt Mile. “All three new horses are Eclipse Award winners, following in the footsteps of Ashford stalwarts like Thunder Gulch, Uncle Mo, American Pharoah, and our flagship sire Justify, who completed a clean sweep of the colts' Classics in Britain this year, with Ruling Court and Scandinavia adding to City of Troy's Epsom Derby triumph in 2024.” O'Connor continued: “Corniche, Epicenter, Jack Christopher, and Golden Pal all had their first yearlings hit the sales this summer and fall, and each was very well received. “All things considered, we feel our combination of established sires and emerging talent represent excellent value in today's marketplace.” The entire Coolmore America stallion roster for 2026, with fees, is as follows: Citizen Bull: TBD Corniche: $15,000 Domestic Product: $25,000 Echo Town: $5,000 Epicenter: $25,000 Fierceness: TBD Golden Pal: $25,000 Gunite: $25,000 Jack Christopher: $15,000 Journalism: TBD Justify: $200,000 Mo Town: $7,500 Munnings: $45,000 Practical Joke: $75,000 Sierra Leone: TBD Tiz the Law: $30,000 Ashford stalwart American Pharoah will stand in Japan for the 2026 season, as has been previously announced.   The post ‘Flagship Sire Justify’ Anchors Coolmore America’s 2026 Roster at $200K appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
