9th-ELP, $100K, Msw, 2yo, f, 1mT, 4:42 p.m. ET. TRUST ACCOUNT (Into Mischief) is set to be unveiled after going for $1.5-million to the Heider Family during Keeneland September.

Providing a welcome winner for The Aga Khan Studs on the Deauville card they sponsored in its entirety, Rayif (Sea The Moon) lit up the G3 Prix Francois Boutin with a display that shouted Classic potential. A narrow winner over six furlongs here last month, the half-brother to the Commonwealth Cup third Rayevka brushed aside Ballydoyle's 7-10 favourite Daytona (Wootton Bassett) with a furlong remaining and surged to the line for a 2 1/2-length success. The Coventry fourth Andab (Saxon Warrior) denied Daytona second by a head. “I thought he did it very convincingly and his half-sister is very good and very fast, so we seem to be bringing out the speed of that family,” Princess Zahra Aga Khan said of the exciting Francis-Henri Graffard trainee. “He was still very green today and we can hope that he might run in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere.” The post Sea The Moon’s Rayif Electric In The Francois Boutin appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Providing instant justification and reward for the investment by Sam Sangster Bloodstock, Ballydoyle's Diego Velazquez (Frankel) edged a thriller from Notable Speech (Dubawi) in Sunday's G1 The Aga Khan Studs Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville. Always happy playing a prominent role away from the fence under Christophe Soumillon, the 12-1 shot stayed on to wrest the lead from Dancing Gemini (Camelot) with 100 metres remaining and found the line a head in front of the fast-closing Godolphin runner, who was 3/4 of a length behind in third. “He's always been a very good horse and I'm so delighted for Sam–he's a very legitimate and desirable horse,” Aidan O'Brien said of the first winner of the race in the famed Sangster silks and his stable's second after Excelebration in 2012. “He's a great model and is determined and very brave–he had won a good trial in the Minstrel and they have to be sharp for that as it's a fast seven and he had just come right in the last week. It's incredible to have a horse running in those colours, I was just thinking of that when I saw him going down, we never thought we'd have a horse running in them. We thought he'd be a horse for the Keeneland Mile and then the Breeders' Cup Mile.” Sam Sangster has the GI Breeders' Cup Mile in mind for the winner. “That meant a lot–we were so lucky that Aidan and Coolmore let us into the horse and we are even luckier now that's for sure,” he said. “He's an absolute gorgeous horse, a phenomenal mover and so tough. We could see him at the National Stud just by the way he walked out of his box. I thought he'd run a big race and he had been working very well and he's shown how good he really is. We were thinking of going to Keeneland, as that's a 'Win and You're In' for the Breeders' Cup, but we'll let Aidan decide.” Charlie Appleby also has the Breeders' Cup in mind for the runner-up, who was flashing home and could be considered unlucky having had to wait for his run. “The important thing is that he is back to his best,” he said. “William had to wait and when you do that you are either hero or villain, but that is how he has to be ridden. He could go for the Woodbine Mile and then the Breeders' Cup Mile.” Sunday, Deauville, France THE AGA KHAN STUDS PRIX JACQUES LE MAROIS-G1, €1,000,000, Deauville, 8-17, 3yo/up, c/f, 8fT, 1:34.23, g/s. 1–DIEGO VELAZQUEZ (IRE), 131, c, 4, by Frankel (GB) 1st Dam: Sweepstake (Ire) (SW & GSP-Eng & US, $114,162), by Acclamation (GB) 2nd Dam: Dust Flicker (GB), by Suave Dancer 3rd Dam: Galaxie Dust, by Blushing Groom (Fr) TDN Rising Star. 1ST GROUP 1 WIN.

Dr Paull Khan has been named the new chief executive officer of the European and Mediterranean Horse Federation (EMHF). Khan has served as the organisation's secretary-general since 2012. He will serve in his new role through 2027. Henri Pouret, EMHF chair, said, “The executive council of the EMHF decided with great enthusiasm [on] the appointment of Paull Khan, formerly secretary general of the EMHF, as CEO. This new position reflects the confidence placed in his remarkable experience and commitment and demonstrates the ambition of the EMHF for the years to come. Paull's career, marked by significant achievements, and his unwavering dedication are valuable assets for the organisation. The new title more accurately reflects Paull's role and is more easily understood internationally in today's world.” Khan added, “I hold the work I do for the EMHF dearly and am delighted to continue for another term. My chair, our executive council and I believe there is yet more we can do together to raise the profile and influence of the EMHF and make it of even greater value to our member racing authorities.” The post Dr Paull Khan Named CEO Of EMHF appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Te Akau trainer Mark Walker made history at Ballarat on Sunday with an unprecedented trifecta in the A$400,000 Ecycle Solutions Grand National Steeplechase (4500m). Walker saddled Leaderboard (Street Cry) for a 25-length win in the showpiece steeplechase, with The Mighty Spar (NZ) (Savabeel) second and Prismatic (NZ) (Savabeel) third. It capped an enormously special Sunday for Walker and the Te Akau Racing team, who also took three runners to Taupo and came away with three winners – Carsolio, To Bravery Born and In Haste. Former Gr.3 Wellington Cup (3200m) and Listed New Zealand St Leger (2600m) winner Leaderboard settled in second spot on Sunday for jockey Will Gordon before taking command when topweight Stern Idol began to tire. Leaderboard and the favourite Noonday Gun seemed set to fight out a tight battle to the finish, but Noonday Gun fell at the final fence and left Leaderboard to cruise to a runaway win. “I can’t really believe it,” Gordon said. “I went out there without any pressure, just riding my race, riding the horse. Going down the back the last time, I thought, ‘I’ve still got a bit of horse here and might be in the finish.’ “He’s a legend of a horse. Everyone that rides him, or has anything to do with him, just loves and adores him. “There will be a line out the door that want this horse at the end of his racing career. He’s such a gentleman, such a dude to do anything with, a great jumper, and what you saw today was no better of example of that. “There are no chinks in his armour. He jumps, travels, and I was happy where we were in the run to be tracking Stern Idol. We got easy enough sectionals behind him and I thought he would be vulnerable late. “We were able to sit on his tail, conserve energy, and like I said, his jumping was great. He did the rest. “For me, the win is right up there. This is one that has been missing off my mantelpiece and to tick this one off, they’re hard races to win and only come up once a year.” Leaderboard has now had 68 starts for 12 wins, 19 placings and A$861,388 in stakes. Five of his wins have come over jumps, including four steeplechases. “It was a great ride by Will and it’s great to see all three horses come back safe,” Walker said. “The girls that strap them, Hayley (Morton) with the winner, Emma (Wilson) with The Mighty Spar, and Lisa (Strike) with Prismatic – they just love these horses. They’re got a dual purpose as well, these older horses, because they help out in the stables by educating the yearlings.” Leaderboard is raced by John Galvin’s Fortuna Leaderboard Syndicate. “The win would have to go down as one of the highlights we’ve had with Fortuna Racing,” Galvin said on Sunday. “The big thing I felt about today was redemption for Leaderboard, because he had that unfortunate fall in the Brierley Steeplechase (3450m), back in April, but he’d run three very good races since then for seconds. “He’d been beaten by Stern Idol in two of those, and today he was able to come out and beat not only Stern Idol, but also the up-and-comer Noonday Gun. “It was a huge thrill. The whole race, he was right there. You got the feeling he was always going to be in contention, provided, A, he could run past Stern Idol, and, B, he was able to fend off the grey horse (Noonday Gun). “We had two of his owners with us, Shane and Colleen Ivory, and they were here last year, as well, when he ran second. So, it was great for them to be here today and see him win. “It’s an unbelievable training feat by Mark (Walker) to get the trifecta, the first time it’s ever been done in the race. “While having plenty of international experience, Mark is a relatively new trainer to the Australian racing circuit, and he’s managed to have his three runners fill the first three placings in the most prestigious jumps race in Australia. “It’s a great effort and for him, specifically, with Leaderboard. He just loves the horse to bits and has nurtured him over the last few years to create an outstanding jumps career.” View the full article
