Juan Hernandez, Phil D'Amato and Spendthrift Farm were the leading jockey, trainer and owner, respectively, during the Santa Anita Autumn Meet which concluded Sunday, Oct. 26. It was a ninth jockey's title at Santa Anita for Hernandez, who posted 28 wins from 92 runners (30.4%) and was also tops among jockeys with eight wins in stakes company and $1,707,338 in purse earnings. Umberto Rispoli was runner-up in the standings on 19 winners from 79 mounts ( 24.1%). Among Hernandez's biggest wins at the meet were 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Explora (Blame) in the GII Oak Leaf Stakes and closing-weekend scores aboard Test Score (Lookin At Lucky) in the GII Twilight Derby and Warming (Global Campaign) in the GIII Autumn Miss Stakes. “I'd like to thank all the trainers and owners again, for all the support they give me. They trust me to ride their horses,” said Hernandez, a 33-year-old native of Veracruz, Mexico. D'Amato was taking down his eighth crown as top trainer at Santa Anita, with highlight victories in the GII John Henry Turf Championship with the evergreen Gold Phoenix (Ire) (Belardo {Ire}) and Mission of Joy (Kitten's Joy) in the GII Rodeo Drive Stakes. D'Amato saddled 13 winners from 54 starters (24.1%). “I love it here,” D'Amato said in a winner's circle ceremony Sunday. “We focused on having a big second half of 2025 and it has worked out thus far. Hopefully it continues to Santa Anita Winter. I always tell everybody you are only as good as your help. I've got super assistants at Santa Anita, at Los Alamitos and in Kentucky. It is a total team effort, from good help all the way down. I'm only as good as my help. You can see I have some great people behind me and they make it easy for me every day.” Spendthrift was represented by four winners from seven starters, highlighted by the GIII Chillingworth Stakes won by their 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Tamara (Bolt d'Oro), a leading chance in Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. Racing resumes at the Great RIP with the start of the 2025-2026 Classic Meet on Friday, Dec. 26.

I wonder how far the straight can be angled outwards when all of the carparking outside the Otaki track has been sold. Likewise with adding stabling, would they be going in between the 400-600 affordable homes that are going to take up just a tick under 150 acres space currently being used for stabling? -

By Renee Geelen/TTRAusNZ On Wednesday, Star Thoroughbreds announced that Vin Cox would be their yearling selection advisor for the 2026 sales season. The decision comes off the back of an eight-year association with Brett Howard of Randwick Bloodstock who has announced his retirement. The Star Thoroughbreds and Randwick Bloodstock team have been purchasing yearlings for over eight years and recent spring star Aeliana (Castelvecchio) is a big highlight. The G1 Australian Derby winner has garnered over A$2.7 million for her connections and was a NZ$180,000 purchase from Rich Hill Stud's New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale draft. “Brett advised me recently that he had decided to retire at the end of the year and, therefore, I needed to find a replacement, which I knew would be very difficult as we've worked together very successfully for more than eight years now,” said Star Thoroughbreds' Denise Martin. “Some days after hearing his news, it occurred to me that Vin Cox may be available to assist me. Having known him for the lifetime of Star's operation, I felt it wouldn't be inappropriate for me to at least ask the question as to if he'd be available and interested. “To my absolute delight, he said he was available and he would be interested. It's been something of a revelation learning that my long term association with Brett has come to an end because it's been very enjoyable and extremely successful. But, looking forward now, I'm anxiously awaiting January and working closely with Vin in the forthcoming yearling sale season.” Vin Cox, whose resume includes managing director of Godolphin Australia and Magic Millions, as well as general manager at Yulong, paid tribute to the record of Howard and Star Thoroughbreds. Star Thoroughbreds' recent Group 1 winners include Aeliana, Invincibella (I Am Invincible) and Espiona (Extreme Choice). “I'm very excited to be joining the Star team. I'm slightly intimidated by the success that Star have had over the last little while, particularly under the guidance of Brett Howard,” said Cox. “I've been looking to do some freelance stuff and this fitted the bill perfectly. I love being a part of yearling sales, going to horse sales and trying to select yearlings to turn into racehorses. Working with Denise, who is a highly ethical and elite operator, is right in my sweet spot. “I'm in awe of what Brett has achieved in his time with Star Thoroughbreds and under Denise's guidance and being part of Chris Waller's stable, it's a formula that has worked exceptionally well. Hopefully, I can contribute.” The post Big Shoes to Fill: Star Thoroughbreds Team Up with Vin Cox appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
