    • If one avoids the heavy hitters, there is still plenty of cash for a promising 3-year-old Thoroughbred to pursue in ungraded stakes races, as illustrated by the presence of Admiral Dennis in the $300,000 Ellis Park Derby Aug. 10.View the full article
    • The Fasig-Tipton Digital August Sale will offer 90 horses as part of a major reduction of Harris Farms, the Thoroughbred operation of leading California breeder and owner John C. Harris, who passed away in July at the age of 81. The auction will be conducted from Aug. 14 through 19. “John Harris was a pillar of racing, both in California and nationally,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton Director of Digital Sales.  “We are honored to be entrusted with the reduction of Mr. Harris's breeding and racing stock, which he carefully cultivated for more than 40 years. These offerings present prospective buyers with a rare opportunity to access bloodlines that have seldom been available in the commercial marketplace.” Harris took the reins of his family's Thoroughbred operation in 1981, following the passing of his father, Jack Harris. He expanded the Harris Thoroughbred operation to become one of California's premier stallion farms, standing such stallions at Cee's Tizzy, sire of Horse of the Year Tiznow; Lucky Pulpit, sire of Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome; Unusual Heat, leading California sire by earnings multiple times; as well as prominent California sires Moscow Ballet and High Brite. Alone or in partnership, Harris campaigned the likes of Soviet Problem, California Horse of the Year who finished second in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint; Unzip Me, a multiple graded stakes winner who finished third in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint; Grade I winner Alphabet Kisses; and graded stakes winners Closing Remarks, Lucky J.H., and High Standards. Since 2000, Harris runners have won 695 races for earnings of more than $22 million. The reduction includes horses of racing age and breeding stock, including mares with foals at foot. Pedigree previews are available here. Prospective buyers can register to bid at digital.fasigtipton.com.

    • Even some of the best Thoroughbreds are one-dimensional. They want to race on the lead or from the back of the pack, and taking them out of their comfort zone can lead to upsetting results. Then there's Far Bridge. View the full article
    • Juvenile colt Gentlemanlike caught the eye of Mandore International Agency's Nicolas de Watrigant for €250,000 during Arqana Online's August Pop-Up Sale on Wednesday. De Watrigant signed for a French partnership consisting of Alain Jathiere, Gousserie Racing, Ecurie David Layani and Gerard Augustin-Normand. He was originally sold for €12,000 from the Baroda Stud draft during the Arqana October Yearling Sale last year to owner/trainer Igor Endaltsev. Consigned by Endaltsev on Wednesday, the Al Shira'aa Racing-bred son of Group 1 sire Australia and the Kodiac mare Samskara won his only start by four lengths at Chantilly in July. His granddam is Chiara Wells (Refuse To Bend), a winner of the Listed Premio Certosa and third in the G3 Premio Carlo Chiesea. This is also the family of Meafara (Meadowlake), a multiple graded winner and placed in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint. Coolmore's dual Derby winner Australia is responsible for G1 Derby/G1 Irish Derby hero Lambourn and G1 Coronation Stakes heroine Cercene this term.
