    • Winless since October of his juvenile year, Governor Sam (Improbable) finally broke out of his slump with a smart effort in the GIII Quick Call Stakes at Saratoga. The George Weaver charge managed to string together four victories in a row last season, and begrudgingly faded to third Nov. 1 at Del Mar in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint to wrap that campaign. Back in action Apr. 30 at Churchill Downs for his 3-year-old bow in the William Walker Stakes, Governor Sam again faded to third behind SW Bridle a Butterfly (Country House) and GSP Out On Bail (Tiz the Law). He similarly faded in an allowance dash at that venue last out June 6 when it came off the turf, failing to outkick SW Dreamaway (Flameaway) for the lead and finishing fourth. Outrun by his lightly-raced stablemate SP Ortley Avenue (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) for the frontrunning spot, the 3-5 favorite was content to watch the situation unfold from third behind an opening quarter in :21.71 and was traveling comfortably as the field went into the bend. Moved to the outside as Supersonic Blue (Air Force Blue) joined the pacesetter up front as they arrived at the head of affairs, the eventual winner needed little urging from Irad Ortiz Jr. before he inhaled his inner rivals and kicked away to score stylishly by open lengths. Ortley Avenue held on to second to give Weaver the exacta while No Evidence (Vekoma) had to settle for third in a photo when his rally up the fence came short. The final time was 1:02.68.   The post Governor Sam Returns to Winning Ways in Quick Call Masterclass appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Down on the Lone Star Park turf, Ritzaphena (Lexitonian–Ritz and Glitz, by Desert Party) held on late to graduate at first asking and also hand her first-crop sire his first win. The 2-year-old exited from the extreme outside and worked her way over nicely to rate in third around the far turn. Gearing up through the backstretch, the filly started to make her move on the leader and she took control around the far turn. Ritzaphena was pursued by Shidoni (Gormley) down the lane, and she found the wire in time to don cap and gown. A Calumet homebred by Speightstown who stands at the farm, Lexitonian's racing days were marked by a massive score in the GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap at Saratoga in 2021. Currently, the freshman sire has 59 foals of racing age. The winner's dam Ritz and Glitz (Desert Party) is responsible for a yearling filly by Volatile and she was sent to Echo Town for last spring. Her own unraced dam, Tani (Theatrical {Ire}), is a full-sister to GI Flower Bowl Handicap heroine Dahlia's Dreamer. 5th-Lone Star, $33,000, Msw, 7-13, 2yo, f, 7 1/2fT, 1:31.18, gd, head. RITZAPHENA (f, 2, Lexitonian–Ritz and Glitz, by Desert Party) Sales History: $20,000 Ylg '24 FTKOCT; $75,000 2yo '25 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $19,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart. O-Sandeep Patel; B-Brandywine Farm (Jim & Pam Robinson) (KY); T-Jayde J.
