    • Arctic Beast (Yaupon) became the day's second new stakes winner for his first-crop sire (by Uncle Mo) with a dominating display in the Aspirant Stakes, winning in a time nearly two seconds quicker than the fillies went in the Lady Finger Stakes about 30 minutes earlier. Off at 1-5 having graduated with a lofty 82 Beyer Speed Figure at Saratoga Aug. 15, the $120,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Mixed Sale weanling turned $275,000 Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred yearling was put right into play from the outside stall and pressed the early pace through an opening quarter in :22.31 over the rain-affected going. Outmoved into the stretch by the front-running Diamond Child (Weekend Hideaway), Arctic Beast leveled off beautifully when asked and shot away to score as much the best. The win gave trainer Mike Maker and jockey Ricardo Santana, Jr. a sweep of the day's open juvenile contests. A fourth black-type winner overall after Yaupon de Replay took out the Listed Blenheim Stakes on debut at Fairyhouse in Ireland, Arctic Beast is the lone winner for his dam, a close relative of the dual stakes-winning Freudie Anne (Freud). He is the last listed produce for Frostie Anne. Click for the Equibase.com chart.

    • I don't think it is the addition of slot and sales races that have made the Oaks less relevant.  It is more the lack of regional patterns that give mulitiple pathways to the Oaks.  All roads seem to lead to the KM or Slot races and that makes it hard for horses that are not eligible for those races.  Also that bias means that most horses outside of the Waikato have to travel to pick up rating points and find suitable races.  
    • Gaita just coming up 70 very soon Mr Galah. Their Italian family been in the game forever it seems.  were based in Victoria for a lot of years , but with all the DQ's shifted to SA where could get re-licenced easier. Rita Burnett (the sister) is an excellent horsewoman in Victoria and somehow avoids all the controversy.  Gaita's son Tony Pullicino has done 'several terms' on the sidelines as well . Tony even used to drug himself sometimes 😁,  as well as do the milkshakes and a was swabbed with marijuana in his system 2 or 3 times at the races. Had to rehab and was on the sidelines near a decade at one point. They are a 'Do it Our own Way' sort of family. 😅

    • Baoma Corp.'s 'TDN Rising Star' Nysos (Nyquist) breezed a half-mile in :48 flat (10/32) Monday morning at Santa Anita, his first move since being scratched from an expected appearance in the GI Pacific Classic on Aug. 30. According to a text from trainer Bob Baffert to TDN's Sue Finley, the colt's Breeders' Cup target remains a bit up in the air. “He breezed today, pointing to [Dirt] Mile,” he texted. “I could change my mind between now and then. The [Dirt] Mile probably more realistic right now. Was hoping to make the Classic.” He added that the Sprint could also still be in play. The 4-year-old returned from a 15-month absence to dead-heat for second behind 'Rising Star' Mindframe (Constitution) in a high-class renewal of the GI Churchill Downs Stakes on May 3, returned to California and romped to a 5 1/2-length victory in the GIII Triple Bend Stakes four weeks later. With the Pacific Classic in mind, Nysos was the 1-10 favorite for the GII San Diego Handicap on July 26, but was scratched with a hind foot bruise on the morning of the Del Mar centerpiece, which was also set to include 'Rising Star' Fierceness (City of Light) and GI Preakness Stakes and GI Haskell Stakes hero Journalism (Curlin). Fierceness proved a decisive 3 1/4-length winner. In the immediate aftermath of the scratching, Baffert indicated that Nysos would be rerouted for the GI Goodwood Stakes at Santa Anita, but the colt was ultimately not nominated. The nine-furlong Goodwood, a Breeders' Cup Challenge race for the Classic, was to be drawn Monday.   The post Nysos Returns To Worktab, Breeders’ Cup Remains The Goal appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
