1st-CD, $120K, Msw, 2yo, 5f, 12:45 p.m. ET. The news broke this past week that Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas would be stepping down as the head of his stable because of health reasons and assistant Bas Nicholl would be taking over for the man known to many as 'Coach.' In Saturday's opener on the card, TRACK LEGEND (Charlatan) will be unveiled for owner Live the Legacy and Nicholl. Out of Canadian champion female sprinter Moonlit Promise (Malibu Moon), the dark bay went for $550,000 at last year's Keeneland September Sale. Track Legend's third dam–who produced MGISW Court Vision (Gulch)–is a full-sister to GI Preakness Stakes hero Summer Squall (Storm Bird) and a half-sister to Horse of the Year A.P. Indy (Seattle Slew). TJCIS PPS 6th-CD, $120K, Msw, 3yo/up, f&m, 6 1/2f, 3:19 p.m. ET. Pretty in a Dress (Constitution), trained by Brendan Walsh, is out of Whatdreamsrmadeof (Graeme Hall), who was taken home by Jane Lyon for $1.65-million at the Fasig-Tipton Fall Mixed Sale in 2016. This dam's most well-known progeny is MGISW Curalina (Curlin). Also set for her first start is Steve Asmussen trainee Crimsonite (Tapit). The Winchell homebred's dam Bleeding Heart (Broken Vow) is a full-sister to GII Twinspires.com Fair Grounds Oaks heroine Chocolate Martini. Last but not least, Repercussion (Bernardini) debuts for owner-breeder Godolphin. Trained by Eoin Harty, the bay's dam Orchestrate (Tiznow) is a full-sister to champion 2-year-old filly Folklore and is a half-sister to MSP Delightful Quality (Elusive Quality), who is responsible for current sire Essential Quality (Tapit).

The winner of last year's GI Jockey Club Gold Cup, Highland Falls (Curlin–Round Pond, by Awesome Again) emerged from time off a winner against optional claimers at Aqueduct on Friday. Ready to go out of the blocks, the 5-year-old bided his time just off the speed up the backstretch. Highland Falls pounced around the far turn and entering the lane the homebred took control. Sprinting away, the Brad Cox trainee won by several lengths over Full Screen (Big Screen). The final running time was 1:34.40. Lifetime Record: 11-6-2-1. O/B-Godolphin (KY); T-Brad H. Cox.

Fourteen wildcards have been added to the Tattersalls Online July Sale, including a complete dispersal of 10 lots from the estate of the late Kevin Prendergast following the passing of the legendary Irish trainer. Bidding will open at 11am on Tuesday, July 1 and close at 11am the following day. Among nine horses in training in the dispersal is the three-year-old filly Glory To Be, who confirmed the promise of her debut effort when filling the runner-up spot in a five-furlong maiden at Cork last time. The daughter of Cotai Glory, who is out of a half-sister to the dam of Group 1 winners Creative Force and Persuasive, will be offered as lot 110. Another attractive prospect is the three-year-old gelding Iowntheball (lot 111). A winner over seven furlongs as a juvenile and placed twice this year, the son of Advertise is a half-brother to the Listed-placed Zim Baby. A colt named Mergus Serrator (lot 115) features among a selection of unraced two-year-olds. The son of Masar is out of a full-sister to the Listed winner and Group 1-placed Whitecliffsofdover, while the dispersal also includes the broodmare Butterfly Garden (lot 117), a winning daughter of Awtaad who is being offered in foal to Mac Swiney. Meanwhile, Ralph Beckett's Kimpton Down Stables have added two colts to their draft, including Too Don Juan (lot 104), a son of Too Darn Hot and out of a daughter of the multiple Group 1-winning mare Islington. He is joined by Invincible Duke (lot 105), another well-bred colt who has been placed twice to date and is a half-brother to the Group 3-placed Duchess Of Dubai. The full catalogue is available to view here.

Goffs chief Henry Beeby has described himself as 'quietly hopeful' ahead of the groundbreaking new Classic Breeze-Up Sale, due to kick off at 6.15pm on Saturday. This will be the first sale of its kind in Ireland with Goffs bidding to cater to a sector of breeze-up handlers who would usually be making their way to Arqana in France by this time of year with their later-maturing juveniles. The breeze itself took place at Naas on Monday with inspections continuing that evening and into the following morning. Handlers returned to the Kildare Paddocks on Friday morning to continue showing and, while footfall is reported to be steady, Beeby says he has no doubt that the horses assembled at Goffs have the right profile to attract a good buying bench on Saturday. “We're quietly hopeful,” he said. “It's obviously a big test as it's the first time there has been a new breeze-up sale in Ireland for a number of years. We've had rave reviews about the location of the breeze at Naas and we can't say enough good things about that. There has been plenty of interest and we believe there are enough good horses here to attract a good buying bence so let's see what happens.” Asked if it was too early to think about how this sale could be refined going forward, Beeby said, “Internally, we will review it on Monday and take some soundings back from the vendors in particular. There's nothing I'm thinking, 'oh Lord, I wish I had done this differently' about. We've had a bigger gap than is traditional in Europe between the breeze and the sale. Whether that ends up being a positive or a negative will be found out on Saturday. We've made sure the integrity of the process has been maintained by taking blood tests post-sale and will offer that again at the point of purchase. We're delighted with the catalogue that we have assembled and we have been well-supported by the breeze-up community.” Tom and David Brickley of Ard Erin Stud openly admit to being major fans of the new concept. The Brickleys will offer colts by Zarak and Sioux Nation that were put aside with this sale in mind. David explained, “The two horses we brought here are later-maturing types that needed a bit of time. You'd imagine that the Zarak colt is tailor-made for this sale and the Sioux Nation colt is out of a good Aga Khan family and is coming to himself at the right time also. It's a different concept, a bit like America where the breeze and the sale are spaced out a bit, but we're delighted to be supporting it. The one thing I would say is, while we haven't been overrun with shows, the phone has been busy all week and we have had plenty of calls from different buyers. That has to be a very positive sign.” He added, “The breeze-up consignors were crying out for a sale like this and credit to Goffs for taking it on. We're all hoping that it goes well and that there is something to build on. Anyone that I have spoken to definitely thinks that there is, so fingers crossed for Saturday.” Beeby acknowledged that the boutique nature of the sale means that footfall will naturally be down compared to the usual breeze-up sales and shared that he expects a lot of work to be done online and over the phone by agents and buyers on Saturday. He said, “We know there are people coming who haven't been on the ground yet but we are also expecting a fair bit of telephone and online bidding. That is the nature of the breeze-ups – there is so much transparency with the film of the breeze and vetting etc. This is a sale where a few pairs of eyes can cater for a lot of different people. Our indication is that there are a number of horses that will have plenty of interest in them.” Asked what would deem this new sale a success, Beeby concluded, “Deemed a success would mean people will walk away saying that was a good sale. How a good sale is defined is by selling a good proportion of the horses. We'd also like to sell some horses for a price that will catch people's eye. We want this sale to be seen as a viable part of the breeze-up season. We obviously have the Doncaster Breeze-Up Sale which is massively successful and has a great record in the ring and on the track. This is the next step in adding to our portfolio.” The post Goffs ‘Quietly Hopeful’ Ahead Of Groundbreaking New Classic Breeze-Up Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
