The Breeders' Cup teams for Aidan O'Brien and Francis-Henri Graffard are taking shape, with both set to send strong representation to the two-day event at Del Mar on October 31 and November 1. Leading the Ballydoyle cavalry is Minnie Hauk, winner of the Oaks, Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks and runner-up in the Arc. The daughter of Frankel is training toward the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Turf. “Our races have been nicely spaced out this year and she came out of the Arc well; everybody seems happy with her so that's what we're thinking at the moment,” said O'Brien. G1 QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes fourth Bedtime Story (Frankel) is possible for the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. O'Brien reported, “She ran well, very happy. She'd probably have preferred a stronger pace but ran very well. She definitely could go for the Fillies and Mares Turf, that's what we're thinking, maybe.” The GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf is the likely next port of call for G1 Dewhurst Stakes second Gstaad (Starspangledbanner). “Yes, at the moment, that's what we're thinking [for Gstaad],” he said. “He came out of the Dewhurst well. We think the fast ground in a mile will suit him.” Other Ballydoyle horses with their eyes on Breeders' Cup riches include dual Group 1-winning filly Precise (Starspangledbanner) for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, and The Lion In Winter (Sea The Stars) for the GI FanDuel Breeders' Cup Mile. O'Brien could also send True Love (No Nay Never) for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint. Graffard Could Have Giant Impact At BC Although his potential Breeders' Cup team numbers just three, French trainer Francis-Henri Graffard is likely to continue his banner year, this time abroad. Leading the Graffard trio is Goliath (Adlerflug), who recently won the G1 Grosser Preis von Baden, and was successful in the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes in 2024. He has been supplemented by John Stewart's Resolute Racing for $200,000 to try his hand in the Breeders' Cup Turf. Graffard said, “John Stewart is very keen to run him, the horse is well and if John is happy, we can go, and I'm happy to take the horse there.” “[The fast ground is] not ideal, but I think the track is very tricky; you need a lot of luck in running. The horse is in very good form, and I think I am getting him back to his best form. He seems very happy, so if he travels well and we have a bit of luck, he can run a big race.” Currently leading the French trainers' standings, Graffard won the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe with Daryz (Sea The Stars) at the beginning of the month. He has yet to win at the Breeders' Cup from five attempts, with his Malavath (Mehmas) second in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf his best showing so far. He said, “I keep trying, but it's a very tough meeting, and maybe I didn't bring the right horses at the time, but it will come.” G1 Prix de Moulin de Longchamp hero Sahlan (Wootton Bassett) holds an entry in the GI Breeders' Cup Mile for Al Shaqab Racing, while another bound for California from the Graffard yard is Gezora (Almanzor). Only 13th in the Arc, the G1 Prix de Diane heroine is pointing to the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Graffard added, “The Arc didn't go her way. She didn't have a great draw, and she found herself way too far back; it was really hard to come from behind there. I think we can draw a line on her performance in the Arc; she's better than that. “I think that Del Mar shouldn't be a problem for her; all will depend on the field. She's a great filly.” The post Minnie Hauk Leads O’Brien Breeders’ Cup Team; Goliath Anchors Graffard Trio appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Survie, runner-up by a head in the G1 Prix de Diane, will be offered during the Sceptre Sessions at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale from December 1-3. She will sell as lot 1723 on Tuesday, December 2. The daughter of Churchill will be consigned by co-trainers Nicolas Clement and Frauke Hermans on behalf of owners China Horse Club International and Gerard Augustin-Normand. A winner of the G2 Prix de Malleret at three, the four-year-old was third in the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes, second in the G1 Prix Jean Romanet and fourth in the G1 Prix Vermeille this year. She currently holds a Timeform rating of 114. Out of the listed winner and G2 Prix de Royallieu-placed Sotteville (Le Havre), this is the family of G1 Champion Stakes winner King Of Steel and Australian champion Contributer. Clement said, “We are consigning a jewel. She has been the star of the stable and was just beaten a head in a French Classic. She is a top-of-the-ground filly who has been very consistent throughout her career, being Group 1 placed on three occasions including in the Pretty Polly and Prix Jean Romanet. She is one of the very best fillies in Europe and whether to breed or race, I'm sure she'll make somebody happy. We'll be sad to see her go.” Added Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony, “Survie is a very attractive, high-class race filly who could easily have won the Prix de Diane. She offers buyers an opportunity to buy not just an outstanding racehorse to race on, but also a filly who looks an exceptional broodmare prospect. We are honoured to be asked to offer her in the Sceptre Sessions at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale where she joins a growing cast of top class race fillies and broodmares.” The post Prix De Diane Runner-Up Survie To Be Offered At The Sceptre Sessions appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

With reporting 85-90% complete for the 2024 season, 1,099 covered 27,180 mares in North America which resulted in 17,103 lives foals in 2025, the Jockey Club announced Tuesday. The reporting of live foals of 2024 is down 3.4% from last year at this time when The Jockey Club had received reports for 17,700 live foals of 2024. In addition to the 17,103 live foals of 2025 reported through October 13, The Jockey Club also received 1,887 No Foal Reports for the 2025 foaling season. Ultimately, the 2025 registered foal crop is projected to reach 17,300. The number of stallions declined 6.9% from the 1,181 reported for 2023 at this time last year, while the number of mares bred declined 3.3% from the 28,104 reported for 2023. The full 2025 breeding statistics are available alphabetically by stallion name through the online Fact Book on The Jockey Club website. Kentucky annually leads all states and provinces in terms of Thoroughbred breeding activity with Kentucky-based stallions accounting for 61.4% of the mares reported bred in North America in 2024 and 66% of the live foals reported for 2025. The 16,686 mares reported bred to 204 Kentucky stallions in 2024 have produced 11,288 live foals, a 2.7% decrease on the 11,605 Kentucky-sired live foals of 2024 reported at this time last year. The number of mares reported bred to Kentucky stallions in 2024 decreased 2.2% compared to the 17,056 reported for 2023 at this time last year. California ranked second in mares bred with 1,507 mares producing 980 foals, a decrease of 6.3%. Out of the top ten, only two states showed an increase year over year. New York came third overall at 1,185 mares and 704 foals reported, an increase of 4.8% and New Mexico also increasing marginally with 446 mares and 239 foals showing a 0.8% increase. The biggest drop went to Maryland who reported 499 mares and 302 foals for a 12.2% decrease. Florida also saw double-digit decreases at 1,330 mares and 700 foals with a 10.5% drop. Internationally, 272 progeny were born by stallions standing in North America but foaled aboard led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with 57 foals followed by Japan at 45 and the Republic of Korea at 40. The report also includes 66 mares bred to 20 North American stallions on Southern Hemisphere time.
