    • A year after his father won the Presque Isle Downs Masters Stakes (G2) with Roses for Debra, trainer Miguel Clement earned the top prize with West Point Thoroughbreds, Chris Larsen, and Titletown Racing Stables' Gal in a Rush at Presque Isle Downs.View the full article
    • Those tasmanian racing people sure like to operate outside the box. this months story was  you had the suspension of 1 full time and 4 casual stewards for betting on races. Now it turned out the story beneath the headline really wasn't as bad as it appeared. but if you did happen to read the story, you would have been left feeling sorry for one of the stewards. Over a 2 year period he spent $273.28 and lost $244.08. What a strike rate. Even the worst punters would go better than that. The best advice anyone could give that steward would be ,don't give up your day job,but too late,he now has.His bets were mostly on the dogs. Now as i read about that,i happened to stumble upon the  robert walters story again,one of the fellas i mentioned in an earlier post. The fella who i said  had forged documentation to show the stipes he had permission to get water through the neignbours property .Well here i was thinking his  driving suspension i mentioned earlier, for 6 months,was for some sort of party drug or something to keep him buzzing on the long drive home from the races. But no.His 6 month suspension was because he thought himself too fat and had been on an appetite suppressant drug. Imagine that,one day your looking in the mirror and think to yourself,how did i get so fat. so he tried having a balanced balanced diet. Instead of one big mac in one hand he bought another big mac combo for the other hand,but that didn't work as the tyres on the sulky still looked deflated,despite the air guage saying they were fine. So thats when he consulted the wife and she said what a lot of wifes say,you eat and drink too much you fat b...... and recommends an appetite suppressant. I think we all know what mr walters was thinking when he returned a positive,..sometimes in life you just can't seem to win.
    • Third in the GII Presque Isle Downs Masters Stakes last year, Gal in a Rush (m, 6, Ghostzapper–Hudson River Gal, by Dynaformer) went one better in 2025, capturing the Friday evening feature with aplomb. Away from the winner's circle for the past 14 months despite adding several black-type placings to her CV, the Miguel Clement trainee emerged from Friday night's fray with a dramatic inside bid to capture her first win since the 2024 GIII Hendrie Stakes at Woodbine. A closing Ellen Jay (Constitution)–the stakes-winning daughter of Eclipse champion Covfefe (Into Mischief)–was second, while MSW Tricky Temper (Into Mischief) finished third. Gal in a Rush left the gates cleanly at 10-1, dropping back well off the pace set by Mitole Magic (Mitole) in front, who blazed through :22.18 and :44.26 quarters. Coming off the turn, Gal in a Rush–parked several paths off the rail–took a left turn, diving to the inside in an eye-catching move. She flew toward the wire, devouring Mitole Magic while simultaneously holding off the others by a length. The final time for the West Point Thoroughbreds, Chris Larsen, and Titletown Racing Stables runner was 1:14.45 for the six furlongs over the all-weather surface. Bred in Kentucky by Tom and Mary Lou Teal and Adena Springs, Gal in a Rush sold as a weanling for $130,000 at the 2019 Keeneland November sale to De Meric Stables, then went through the OBS March sale in 2021, where West Point picked her up for $375,000. Originally trained by Christophe Clement, she's now hit the board 16 times in 24 starts. While the Masters is only her second graded win following the Hendrie, the bay has another eight black-type placings. Pedigree Notes: Ghostzapper, the 2004 Horse of the Year who stood in 2025 at Adena Springs North after years in Kentucky–first at Adena Springs and most recently at Hill 'n' Dale–is the sire of Gal in a Rush and 106 other black-type winners. His 60 graded winners include 2025 winners Banishing, Dr. Venkman, Segesta, and Ole Crazy Bone, while he is also the broodmare of 2025 graded winners Book'em Danno (Bucchero) and East Avenue (Medaglia d'Oro). Even at age 25, he still sent a yearling through the Keeneland ring last week for $1.175 million. Gal in a Rush is one of nine stakes winners by Ghostzapper out of a Dynaformer mare, including Canadian champion Theadora B. Gal in a Rush is the sole black-type winner out of her winning dam, a $200,000 Mike Ryan purchase at Keeneland September in 2013. The mare has a 2-year-old Charlatan filly named Charlat River, who was a $65,000 West Point purchase at last year's Keeneland September sale, and a yearling full-brother to Gal in a Rush, who was an $80,000 Faris Breeding buy at this year's Keeneland sale. Hudson River Gal was bred to Kingsbarns for 2026.   Friday, Presque Isle Downs PRESQUE ISLE DOWNS MASTERS S.-GII, $301,000, Presque Isle Downs, 9-19, 3yo/up, f/m, 6 1/2f (AWT), 1:14.45, ft. 1–GAL IN A RUSH, 119, m, 6, by Ghostzapper               1st Dam: Hudson River Gal, by Dynaformer               2nd Dam: Miss City Halo, by Carson City               3rd Dam: Glimmering Halo, by Halo ($130,000 Wlg '19 KEENOV; $375,000 2yo '21 OBSMAR).
