The $175,000 Pebbles Stakes (G3T), rescheduled from Nov. 16 to Nov. 23 after this past Sunday's card at Aqueduct Racetrack was canceled early in the day due to high winds, deepened with the postponement. View the full article -
With the prospect of no racing there for at least another 18 months I expect those trainers and their owners are all happy as a sandboy. -

Willie Mullins, Gavin Cromwell, Henry de Bromhead, Gordon Elliott and Ger Lyons' Glenburnie Racing are among the team captains confirmed for the Treo Eile Christmas Show on Thursday, December 11 at Emerald Equestrian Centre near Enfield. Also stepping up to the plate for the HRI Treo Eile Thoroughbred Classic team event are a number of past or present jockeys, including Paul Townend, Jack Kennedy, Patrick Mullins, Jody Townend, Mark Walsh, Colin Keane, Nicola Burns, Robbie Power and Kevin Manning. The HRI Treo Eile Thoroughbred Classic, the feature class on the night, is a team competition to showcase the very best of Ireland's retrained racehorses. Teams of four will compete in a timed competition, followed by a jump-off to decide the winners of the coveted Horse Racing Ireland perpetual trophy. Racing TV's Kevin O'Ryan and Brendan McArdle of The Irish Field will act as masters of ceremonies when the Treo Eile Christmas Show gets under way at 12 noon with two classes for thoroughbreds and a pony class for junior riders. Olympian Sam Watson will host the 'Connolly's RED MILLS Training your Thoroughbred' clinic. Andrea Ryan, CEO of Treo Eile, said, “The Treo Eile Christmas Show encapsulates all the good work that is done in thoroughbred aftercare throughout the year and is a wonderful chance to celebrate Ireland's retrained racehorses. “We get huge support from both the racing and equestrian world for the show, and I would like to thank all the riders and horse owners who generously give their time, as well as the organising committee. I would also like to thank all the sponsors of the show who are always willing whenever we ask for support. This is my first time experiencing the Treo Eile Christmas Show and I truly cannot wait!” The Treo Eile Christmas Show will be streamed live on Horse & Country TV. Tickets cost €15 per person. A family ticket (two adults, two children) is available for €40 and a 10-ticket bundle is €100. Tickets can be purchased online here.

The word was out about the William Haggas newcomer Bayaann (Too Darn Hot) at Lingfield on Thursday and the half-brother to I Can Fly (Fastnet Rock) duly delivered with a display full of promise. Sent off the well-backed 5-4 favourite for the seven-furlong maiden on the Polytrack, Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's 410,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase took a while to find his stride but as soon as they had straightened for home had begun to loom. Giving generously for Rossa Ryan to overwhelm his peers in the last half a furlong, the bay asserted for a 1 1/2-length success from Lake Como (St Mark's Basilica). “He's a big baby and he didn't know what he was doing in the false straight, but I knew I had loads and in the end he only galloped out only for half a furlong,” the winning rider said after completing a treble on the card. “Mr Haggas liked him and he has plenty of size and scope, so I'd say he'll have a good future ahead of him,” he added. Madonna Dell'Orto, whose aforementioned I Can Fly scored at Group 2 level and was multiple Group 1-placed, is also responsible for the Listed scorer and dual Group-placed Viscount Barfield (Raven's Pass) and for the dam of another smart daughter of Fastnet Rock in the GIII Long Island Stakes winner Alluring Angel. I Can Fly is in turn responsible for this year's Falmouth, Coronation Stakes, and Prix Rothschild runner-up January (Kingman), while the dam is a half to Danehill's ill-fated Poule d'Essai des Poulains and Keeneland Turf Mile hero Landseer. The winner's full-sister was a 480,000gns purchase by Willingham at last year's Tattersalls December Foal Sale, while the dam also has a colt foal by Sea The Stars. 4th-Lingfield, £9,650, Mdn, 11-20, 2yo, 7f 2y (AWT), 1:26.76, st. BAYAANN (GB) (c, 2, Too Darn Hot {GB}–Madonna Dell'Orto {GB}, by Montjeu {Ire}) Sales history: 280,000gns Wlg '23 TADEWE; 410,000gns Ylg '24 TATOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $6,805.

David Hayes has sounded an ominous warning over Ka Ying Rising’s (NZ) (Shamexpress) form as the world’s best sprinter bids to extend his winning streak to 15-consecutive races in the HK$5.35 million Group 2 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint (1200m) at Sha Tin on Sunday. Hayes believes Ka Ying Rising has improved since returning from a historic victory in the AU$20m G1 The Everest (1200m) at Randwick in Sydney on October 18, as the five-time G1 victor prepares to share Sunday’s stage with fellow champions Romantic Warrior and Voyage Bubble at the Bank of China (Hong Kong) Race Day. Ka Ying Rising will this weekend jump from barrier 10 – the same gate the mercurial speedster used in the 2024 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint – and Hayes is confident his stable star is poised to deliver a repeat performance. “I think he has improved since The Everest. He hasn’t missed a bit, he’s trialled brilliantly and his final piece of fast work this week (on Wednesday) was really good,” Hayes said. “I think the trip to Australia hasn’t worried – if anything, it’s helped him. I’m a believer that travel – if a horse handles it – it only brings them on. “There are so many cases of horses travelling and not running well and coming back and running brilliantly. This horse went to Australia and won and has come back and looks to have improved.” Ka Ying Rising will this weekend concede five pounds to nine rivals – Lucky Sweynesse, Helios Express, Lucky With You, Beauty Waves, Fast Network, Raging Blizzard, Tomodachi Kokoroe, Wunderbar and Divano – and, if successful, will edge closer to Silent Witness (17 wins) and Golden Sixty (16) for the most consecutive wins by a Hong Kong, China horse. Hayes is hopeful Zac Purton can again guide Ka Ying Rising into a striking position, just behind the speed in a repeat of last season’s race, but is wary of John Size-trained Helios Express despite his 27-length last behind Ka Ying Rising in a 1200-metre barrier trial on Sha Tin’s dirt track on November 14. “It’s a pretty even group and I would say if you ignore John Size’s horse’s trial, he’s the most consistent horse in town. His trial was poor but it was on very wet ground, so I would forgive that and just trust him to run his usual very good race,” Hayes said. “My other horse (Tomodachi Kokoroe) is in great form.” To be ridden by James Orman from barrier seven, Wunderbar shapes as an intriguing runner as the only horse to have beaten Ka Ying Rising – having achieved the feat twice as a three-year-old before injury intervened. Hayes will pit Straight Arron against Romantic Warrior and Voyage Bubble in the HK$5.35m G2 BOCHK Jockey Club Cup (2000m), having reunited with the former Australian galloper after the gelding’s stints with Caspar Fownes and Ricky Yiu. “It’s really good to get him back, but I couldn’t have found a harder race with the two best 2000-metre horses (Romantic Warrior and Voyage Bubble) in five years to race,” said Hayes, who will use the race to decide whether he should target the HK$40m G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Cup (2000m) or the HK$26m LONGINES Hong Kong Vase (2400m). David Eustace will thrust Light Years Charm into a clash with G1 winners Red Lion and Beauty Eternal and rapidly-rising star My Wish in the G2 HK$5.35m G2 BOCHK Private Wealth Jockey Club Mile (1600m). “I think if he sees the mile out, then he can be very competitive, but that is a very big if. I think the favourite (My Wish) will be very hard to beat – he’s the absolute standout and is still an improving and young horse,” Eustace said. “The rest have probably got to put in career-best runs to challenge him. I like to think our horse is still improving and I hope he gets the mile as it will open up a lot of options.” View the full article
