    • GI Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan (Goldencents) returned to the Churchill Downs work tab Sunday with a five-furlong breeze in 1:00 under jockey Brian Hernandez Jr., preparing for a likely start in the $1-million GI Stephen Foster Stakes June 28. Mystik Dan, who won the GII Blame Stakes on May 31, breezed at 7:15 a.m. EST. He began his move with a three-furlong split of :36.80 before galloping out six furlongs in 1:12, according to Churchill Downs clocker John Nichols. Owned by 4 G Racing, Lance Gasaway, Daniel Hamby and Valley View Farm, Mystik Dan is one of two horses trained by Kenny McPeek nominated to the Stephen Foster. The other, GSP Gould's Gold (Goldencents), also worked Sunday, covering five furlongs in 1:00.20. A total of 20 horses were nominated to the 1 1/8-mile Stephen Foster, including Sierra Leone, winner of the GI Breeders' Cup Classic; Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}), winner of the G1 Dubai World Cup; and Mindframe (Constitution), who was victorious in the GI Churchill Downs Stakes on the Kentucky Derby undercard.   The post Mystik Dan Works for Stephen Foster appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Taking charge at Chantilly on Sunday, Christophe Soumillon supplemented his Diane success with the card's G3 Prix du Lys Longines as Rafale Design capped another stellar afternoon for the Belgian.

    • Was a nice day and a good crowd.  Well done Oamaru 
    • Francis-Henri Graffard looked set to have the one-two-three in Sunday's G1 Prix de Diane Longines heading to the closing stages, but while ultimately that didn't transpire he was in the right place in the end with Gezora (Almanzor). Bringing off the Saint-Alary-Diane double in the process, White Birch Farm's 11-2 shot had first run on Ballydoyle's revitalised Bedtime Story (Frankel) under Christophe Soumillon and made that count with a length success with Cankoura (Persian King) and Mandanaba (Ghaiyyath) in third and fourth for the winning stable. “She's a wonderful filly who tries so hard and has a great attitude,” Peter Brant said of the daughter of the 2006 Diane runner-up Germance. “This is one of most important races in the world and I'm very proud and happy to win it.”   Sunday, Chantilly, France PRIX DE DIANE LONGINES-G1, €1,000,000, Chantilly, 6-15, 3yo, f, 10 1/2fT, 2:06.57, g/s. 1–GEZORA (FR), 126, f, 3, by Almanzor (Fr) 1st Dam: Germance (G1SW-Fr, $558,680), by Silver Hawk 2nd Dam: Gaily Tiara, by Caerleon 3rd Dam: Majestic Role (Fr), by Theatrical (Ire) 1ST GROUP 1 WIN.

    • Indeed . Here's Michael saluting proudly with whip held high,  when he thinks he won the Biggest race of all . the Interdominion Trotting Grand Final. This one was at Addington 2003 where both Castleton's Mission for House , and Take A Moment for Tim and Anthony Butt  had won heats.  Of course Anthony Butt and Take A Moment are a Nose in front down on the Inner and have taken the Victory in the photo below on Grand Final night. Might be why Michael went amateur afterwards? following the BIG salute to the crowd while running 2nd ? 😂🤣
