    • Grade I winners Excellent Truth (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}) and Dynamic Pricing (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) went out Sunday morning and worked five furlongs together over the Oklahoma turf training track as the former continues preparations for an expected tilt in the GI E. P. Taylor Stakes Aug. 16 at Woodbine.. With the turf training track listed as firm, the pair cleared the five panels in 1:02.13 and left their conditioner very happy with what he saw from them. “They did a little five-eighths on the turf, really outstanding,” trainer Chad Brown said. “Excellent Truth goes to the E.P. Taylor at Woodbine and Dynamic Pricing, I'm not sure yet. More of the same from Excellent Truth. She's been a very consistent horse.” Excellent Truth was last seen gutting out a game win in the GI Dunkin' Diana Stakes July 12 over MGISW She Feels Pretty (Karakontie {Jpn}) while Dynamic Pricing took home the hardware June 6 at Saratoga in the GI Just a Game Stakes.

    • Saturday's racing action at Saratoga and across the country saw not only an eye-catching number of new 'TDN Rising Stars' (the final tally stopping on five), but also current members of the club securing sensational victories against salty competition. With the runners emerging from their efforts with positive prognoses, their connections are now looking ahead. Of the established 'Rising Stars', GII Saratoga Special victor Ewing (Knicks Go) returned from that win in fine form and will now be tasked with stretching his abilities out. The Mark Casse trainee was one of seven winners for the Hall of Famer in the U.S. and in Canada on Saturday and is being targeted for the GIII Iroquois Stakes in September at Churchill Downs. “He came back great,” said Casse's assistant Shane Tripp. “We're excited about him. He ate everything last night and jogged good on the road.” “We're really pleased with his performance. He broke a step slow and that was a good horse he beat ['Rising Star' Obliteration]. It was good race riding and exciting to see. What a day to display him. We're excited for the connections.” Tripp added that Ewing should relish added distance and that not getting rushed as he does in shorter races will only make things easier for the son of Knicks Go. “I think you'll see the best of him when he starts going longer.” On hand for Whitney Day was co-owner Griffin Johnson, who stuck around after the races for Sunday morning works on the Oklahoma training track. In addition to Ewing, the influencer is also involved with GISW Sandman (Tapit). “I was hollering and all these people were staring at us while we were cheering him on,” said Johnson, with a laugh. “Whenever I post videos like that, people want to know what's going on and it makes people want to experience it for themselves.” “Every day I wake up and I try to give people the real experience–yesterday was a good one.” Ewing (inside) denies Obliteration in the Saratoga Special | Sarah Andrew Ted Noffey Possible for Spendthrift Farm Hopeful Made a 'TDN Rising Star' after stopping the clock on his debut in a faster time than Ewing produced while winning the GII Saratoga Special, Spendthrift Farm's Ted Noffey (Into Mischief) is under consideration for the GI Spendthrift Farm Hopeful Stakes Sept. 1 at The Spa. Awarded a 76 Beyer for the effort, the grey completed the trip in 1:17.56 while Ewing's contest was clocked in 1:18.03 two races later. He has since emerged in good form. “I think so, yes,” said Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher of the Hopeful. “I thought that was excellent–very good debut. He had been training well, and we were looking forward to a good effort.” “It was interesting to be faster than the stake. I thought he did everything the right way. He came out of it excellent.” Pletcher also offered an update on 'Rising Star' MGISW Fierceness (City of Light), who emerged from his fifth in the GI Whitney in good shape despite disappointing as the favorite. “He looked very good this morning,” said Pletcher. “I thought it was a bit of a rough trip. He got parked out pretty wide on both turns and didn't finish quite as well as we hoped.” Delightful Claire Thrills the Family, Next Target is a Work in Progress She came within a length of graduating at first asking in Kentucky, but it turned out a trip to Saratoga was what Delightful Claire (Thousand Words) needed for her moment in the sun, and she secured a seal of approval from the TDN in the process. In her 9 1/4-length masterclass against older runners, the 3-year-old was another maiden who stopped the timer in a faster effort than stakes competition later in the card. Running the seven-furlong maiden in 1:22.77, it was quicker than what GISW Kilwin (Twirling Candy) managed in the GI Test Stakes five races later–that final time being 1:23.10. Delightful Claire took home a 'Rising Star' rosette and a 95 Beyer figure for her romp. “It was a cool call. I like how he was counting it up,” said trainer Phil Bauer, with a laugh. “She always had a ton of ability, but I don't think you ever expect them to win like that. Yesterday was amazing with the crowd and the weather. Being in the business, it's exciting to see a town like this where people rally around it.” Named after one of owner Richard Rigney (of Rigney Racing)'s children, the connections reported the namesake was equally thrilled with the filly's performance. While the GIII Prioress Stakes Aug. 30 is the next sprint stakes option for sophomore fillies, Bauer expressed wanting to stretch out the daughter of Thousand Words, but didn't offer a target along that line of thought. “She's long, leggy and she has natural speed,” Bauer said. “We were talking this morning about what the next step is. She has such a big stride to her that I think more ground would be right up her alley. We didn't get going with her until three, but it seems like she has a bright future.” The post Saratoga Updates: Ewing to Stretch Out, Ted Noffey Likely for the Hopeful appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • I don't really see where Eliot's response suggests it is on behalf of anyone other than him and the RIB?
    • With some pep in her step once again, Mythical (St Patrick's Day–Lailoni, by Brethren) put her perfect two-for-two record to the test in the GIII Adirondack Stakes at Saratoga on Sunday and passed with flying colors. After successfuly taking on the boys in the Tremont Stakes last out, the 2-year-old was ready to do battle with a group of fillies as the 4-5 favorite this time around. Mythical rolled out of the gate and controlled the pace up the backstretch. Unable to be caught, the homebred made for home and at the wire collected her first higher level race. Meringue (Frosted) was the runner-up. The final running time was 1:17.20. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0. O/B-Arindel (FL); T-Jorge Delgado.
