    • Gleaming Crown (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) (lot 49), an unraced 3-year-old filly, topped the Tattersalls Online January Sale at 49,000gns on the bid of Blandford Bloodstock. The daughter of listed winner and two-time Group 3-placed Dazzling (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is a half-sister to Bajan Girl (Speightstown), who placed second in the GIII Molly Pitcher Stakes and third in the GIII Rampart Stakes. Her dam is a full-sister to G1 Irish 2000 Guineas hero Roderic O'Connor (Ire). Consigned by Kiltinan Castle Stud, the filly will be covered by Darley's Palace Pier (GB), according to Blandford's Richard Brown. Henry de Bromhead snapped up Scotcantou (Ire) (Shantou) (lot 36) for 36,000gns among the horses-in-training. The 5-year-old gelding, consigned by Eoin McCarthy Racing, has a win in a maiden hurdle at Galway from five starts. He is a full-brother to listed hurdle winner Hey Sunshine (Ire). Craig Lidster Racing consigned Alfa Whiteburd (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}) (lot 1), and the four-time winner caught the eye of KNK Bloodstock for 30,000gns. Rounding out the top four lots was a breeding right in Darley sire Harry Angel (Ire) that sold for 23,000gns to Quattro Bloodstock. The Group 1 sire has nine group winners to his credit, including G1 Spring Champion Stakes winner Tom Kitten (Aus). Overall, 49 lots sold for a gross of 371,400gns. The average was 7,580gns.

    • Irad Ortiz Jr. has been handed a three-day stewards' suspension in the aftermath of his disqualification for interference in the Jan. 11 Pasco Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs. Ortiz will sit Jan. 19, 22, 23, as per his agent, Steve Rushing. Dave Grening of Daily Racing Form was first to report this news via a posting on the X social media platform. Ortiz has led North America in victories in each of the last eight years and was voted the Eclipse Award for outstanding jockey in 2018-20 and 2022-23. He is a finalist for the 2024 award, which will be announced on the evening that his suspension concludes next Thursday. Ortiz rode the 1-2 favorite, Owen Almighty (Speightstown), in that Tampa stakes last Saturday. His mount came in on the 7-2 third choice, Rookie Card (Adios Charlie), causing that rival to check hard under jockey Junior Alvarado while near the inner rail at the three-eighths pole. The Equibase chart stated that Owen Almighty “bumped and forced Rookie Card to take up sharply.” As Rookie Card dropped out of contention, the head-on replay showed Ortiz looking back over his left shoulder to see what happened. Ortiz and Owen Almighty went on to cross the finish wire first by a length. Rookie Card finished fifth, beaten 23 lengths. He was elevated to fourth when the stewards DQ'd Owen Almighty and placed him fifth. Rookie Card was reported to be “fine” by Alvarado after the incident. The three Tampa officials who issued the suspension are state steward Reese Howard and association stewards Joelyn Rigione and Brook Hawkins.
