Economics, a European Group 1 winner, has died in India, according to published reports. The G1 Irish Champion Stakes-winning son of Night Of Thunder was standing his first season at Poonawalla Stud. Bred by Copgrove Hall Stud and a dual graduate of the Tattersalls sales, the blaze-faced chestnut won four of his seven starts for trainer William Haggas and regular rider Tom Marquand. Raced by Isa Salman Al Khalifa, he also landed the G2 Dante Stakes and G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano during his seven-race career. Out of dual G2 Prix de Pomone heroine La Pomme d'Amour (Peintre Celebre), Economics is also from the family of stakes winner Van Gosh (Peintre Celebre).

When a field of 10 enters the starting gate for Saturday's GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park, they'll sure have some big shoes to fill. Twelve months ago, Sovereignty (Into Mischief) embarked on what would become a Horse of the Year campaign with a narrow victory in his seasonal debut and a little more than two months later, joined Spectacular Bid (1979), Thunder Gulch (1995) and Orb (2013) as horses to add the GI Kentucky Derby in the last half-century. Horses such as Union Rags (2012) and Dornoch (2024) also added a spring Classic to their victorious winter exploits in South Florida. Gold Square LLC's Napoleon Solo (Liam's Map) will have to defy a 147-day absence if he is to emerge from Saturday's 8 1/2-furlong contest with his perfect record intact. The $40,000 Keeneland Spetember purchase struck from just off the pace to defeat auction maidens by 5 1/4 lengths on Saratoga debut Aug. 8 and was saved for the GI Champagne Stakes Oct. 4. Kicked straight into the lead from an outside gate, the gray colt set searching fractions and spurted clear to best Talkin (Good Magic) by 6 1/2 lengths. Connections elected to bypass the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile, and Napoleon Solo has been training up a storm at Palm Meadows for this return. “Look, he's about 85%,” trainer Chad Summers told Gulfstream's Samantha Perry. “The end goal is the end goal, so this is kind of a stepping-stone. When you make these plans for these Derby-kind of horses, so many times things go wrong and we're blessed so far that everything's gone according to plan.” Wathnan Racing's Commandment (Into Mischief), a son of Orb's Grade I winner Sippican Harbor, has started favorite in each of his three starts to date, finishing an even fourth on Keeneland debut Oct. 4 before graduating by open lengths at Churchill Downs four weeks hence. The $500,000 KEESEP grad tries two turns for the first time, having taken out the Jan. 3 Mucho Macho Man Stakes by a widening margin. A pair of 'TDN Rising Stars' presented by Hagyard get tested for class on Saturday. Chief Wallabee (Constitution) could not have been more impressive on Jan. 10 debut, when he covered his final furlong in a slick :11.99 to best next-out Sam F. Davis Stakes third The Puma (Essential Quality) by 1 1/2 lengths. Jackson Hole (Nyquist) validated odd-on favoritism in landing his local bow going seven panels Dec. 13 and the $1.3-million KEESEP acquisition wired a field of Fair Grounds allowance rivals by 5 1/2 lengths Jan. 17. The Fountain of Youth is one of three 100-point prep races scheduled Saturday and Sunday on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. The GIII Gotham Stakes lacks the depth of the Gulfstream feature, with a field of nine looking to raise their stock. Just a May foal, Iron Honor (Nyquist) is the 6-5 favorite on David Aragona's morning line on the strength of a strong 1 1/2-length victory when unveiled over three-quarters of a mile on Dec. 13. The two horses behind him, including the third home that day Right to Party (Constitution), each flattered the form with next-out victories, and the one-turn mile seems a natural progression for the $475,000 Keeneland September buy. “I'm excited to get this horse stretched out,” said trainer Chad Brown, who sent out Shagaf (Bernardini) to win the 2016 Gotham. “He's bred to run longer. His debut number [95 Beyer] was one of the fastest in the country for 2-year-old colts. I think letting the horse get over that fast number first time out and come together for this will be beneficial for him. He's a good horse. I would expect him to move forward here.” 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Balboa (Not This Time) was a wide-margin maiden winner in four starts for Bob Baffert before switching to the barn of Brittany Russell. Successful in the James F. Lewis Stakes at Laurel in November, the bay was third to 2026 Derby prep winners Paladin (Gun Runner) and Renegade (Into Mischief) in the GII Remsen Stakes and yielded late to be second in the Jerome Stakes over course and trip Jan. 3. Sunday's $1-million GII Rebel Stakes marks the seasonal debut of 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Blackout Time (Not This Time), who races for the first time since chasing home the now-sidelined champion Ted Noffey (Into Mischief) in the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland Oct. 4. The $210,000 Fasig-Tipton October yearling crushed a field of Ellis maidens by nearly 10 lengths going the modified mile trip Aug. 2 to earn 'Rising Star' honors. Blackout Time | Horsephotos Part-owner Lance Gasaway, who bred and raced Derby winner Mystik Dan (Goldencents), is taking a practical approach to Sunday's race. “We're not even in the picture right now,” Gasaway said of the Kentucky Derby. “We've got a horse coming off a five-month layoff. That's a big ask. We'll see how good he is.” Blackout Time should lay handy enough to what appears on paper to be a legitimate pace, and that would also play into the hands of Silent Tactic (Tacitus). Runner-up to stablemate Strategic Risk (Noble Bird) in the Jan. 3 Smarty Jones Stakes, the $500,000 OBS April breezer whooshed home from well back to take the GIII Southwest Stakes Feb. 6. His final five-sixteenths was clocked in a very strong :31.22, a full 1.02 seconds quicker than the re-opposing and next-fastest Rancho Santa Fe (Tapit), who was just photoed out of the top three. Trainer Bob Baffert has sent out the Rebel winner a record eight times and relies on Litmus Test (Nyquist) this weekend. Third in the Breeders' Futurity, he was fourth and not beaten far in the Juvenile and most recently validated 3-5 favoritism in the GII Los Alamitos Futurity Dec. 13. With the defection of Bravaro (Upstart) to the Fountain of Youth, Litmus Test may have to be used some by Flavien Prat from the inside gate. Sophomore Girls Also In The Spotlight Kentucky Oaks points (50-25-15-10-5) are also up for grabs across three dirt stakes–two graded and one listed–over the course of the coming weekend. A field of nine is set for Saturday's one-mile GII Davona Dale Stakes at Gulfstream, where 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard On Time Girl (Not This Time) looks to build on a three-length tally over Imperatrice (City of Light) in the GIII Forward Gal Stakes going seven furlongs on Jan. 31. The Albaugh Family homebred has a couple of new shooters to deal with if she is to run her career record to five wins from six appearances. The same as Bill Mott is tossing Chief Wallabee from the frying pan into the fire in the Fountain of Youth, so too is he with Swing Vote (Constitution), a slow-starting third to Omaha Bay (Omaha Beach) over this track Dec. 28 but a smooth one-length maiden winner Jan. 24, earning an 87 Beyer that tops anything the favorite as recorded to date. The latter is also ambitiously spotted for the typically conservative Ian Wilkes barn. She Be Smooth (Lexitonian) turned in a very professional run first time out over track and trip Jan. 23, striding out very nicely to defeat favored Prom Queen (Quality Road), who had everything her own way on the front end and could not hold on late. The latter has since returned to become a 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard with an eight-length victory going two turns on Feb. 12. Trainer Bob Baffert has never won Oaklawn's GIII Honeybee Stakes, but sends out 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Explora (Blame) to try to correct that particular anomaly. Winner of last year's GII Oak Leaf Stakes and runner-up in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, she returned 1-20 in the Jan. 10 Santa Ynez Stakes, but faltered to be second in the Feb. 8 Las Virgenes Stakes. Explora | Benoit Taken by the Wind (Rock Your World) puts her perfect record on the line, having closed a two-race freshman season with a romp in the GIII Pocahontas Stakes before lasting in the Jan. 17 Silverbulletday Stakes in New Orleans. Search Party (Gun Runner) tries to add this second local Oaks prep to her neck defeat of Newtown Pike (McKinzie) in the Feb. 6 Martha Washington Stakes. The Busher Stakes at Aqueduct has drawn a field of five, with a pair of those cross-entered for the Davona Dale. Interstatelovesong (Bolt d'Oro) dominated a field of maidens by five lengths sprinting here Dec. 26 and just failed to outfinish Two Bits (American Pharoah) when last seen in the seven-furlong Ruthless Stakes on Feb. 6. Paradise (Gun Runner), a $700,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling, opts out of the Davona Dale and the daughter of the very classy MGSW & MGISP Venetian Harbor (Munnings) holds claims off her three-length defeat of next-out winner Betty's Pearl (Munnings) going a mile in Hallandale Beach Jan. 4. Woodslane Farm homebred Sister Troienne (Munnings) is the marquee act in Saturday's GIII Herecomesthebride Stakes as she tries to extend her record on the turf to five wins in as many starts. The chestnut has registered three stakes scores on the trot, each at odds-on, including a 2 3/4-length thrashing of Spicy Princess (Tapit) and Brat Pack (Gun Runner) in the Sweetest Chant Stakes here on Jan. 31. Sister Troienne is out of a half-sister to millionaire Wolfie's Dynaghost (Ghostzapper), who figures a handful in the GIII Canadian Turf Stakes, the first of Saturday's eight graded races at Gulfstream. Other Stars In Action Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC's Magnitude (Not This Time) makes a belated seasonal debut in Saturday's GIII Razorback Handicap. Having been forced to miss the G1 Saudi Cup owing to a fever, the $450,000 Keeneland September yearling–last seen defeating older horses in the GII Clark Stakes at Churchill last November–is hoping to use the Razorback as a springboard to the G1 Dubai World Cup in four weeks' time. The 4-year-old carries top weight of 123 pounds and must give eight pounds to the in-form Nu What's New (Munnings), who won his maiden by 7 1/2 lengths Dec. 26 and a first-level allowance by 12 1/2 lengths Feb. 5, each in front-running fashion. Back at Gulfstream, 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Knightsbridge (Nyquist) looks to make it three straight in Grade III company in the Gulfstream Park Mile, while Grade I winner Lush Lips (GB) (Ten Sovereigns) makes her first start at four in the GIII Honey Fox Stakes, having topped the Keeneland November Sale on a bid of $3.7 million from Bill Shiveley's Dixiana Farm.

Pregnant mares in the catalog are offered in-foal to Mo Town, Title Ready, and Grazen. Among them is Boopsie D (American Pharoah) (hip 18), from the family of top runner and sire No Nay Never. She is offered pregnant to Mo Town, and her yearling filly is also offered in the March Sale. The two are consigned by Double O Bloodstock, and are located at James Lane Farm in Lexington, Ky.
