The 2025 Bloodstock South Africa KZN Yearling Sale broke all previous benchmarks for the auction including an aggregate that surged past the prior year's standard by over R5.6-million, the group announced Friday. A total of 195 yearlings changed hands from the 209 catalogued (seven lots did not sell in the ring or privately later). The aggregate was R44.725-million, over R5.6-million higher than the figure for 2024, while the average rose to a sale record of R229,359; the median improved to R180,000; and the top price came in at R1.3-million late in the day. The aforementioned sales topper was Lot 202–named V Squared, a Vercingetorix (SAf) filly out of Victoriana (SAf) (Jet Master {SAf}). The dam is a half-sister to multiple Listed winners Hammie's Hooker (SAf) (Trippi) and Gem King (SAf) (Master Of My Fate {SAf}). V Squared is a full-sister to Quickstepgal (SAf), who is considered one of South Africa's leading 2-year-old performers. Lot 202 went the way of Jonathan Snaith, who was also the top buyer at the auction. Snaith was quoted as saying that the filly was a standout in pedigree and conformation. “One of our core objectives is to create auction platforms that reach the broadest possible base of buyers and to ensure that all vendors get their fair share of opportunities,” said Bloodstock SA CEO Michael Holmes. “We're pleased to have played our part in delivering that again this year, and we wish all our clients the best with their purchases.” The post 2025 Bloodstock South Africa KZN Yearling Sale Shatters Own Records appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Forced to miss the Triple Crown series after exiting his sensational GII Fasig-Tipton Risen Star S. victory with an ankle chip, Magnitude (Not This Time) makes his highly anticipated return in Saturday evening's $250,000 Iowa Derby at Prairie Meadows. He is the 9-5 morning-line favorite. The Winchell Thoroughbreds colorbearer was a 9 3/4-length, front-running winner of the Risen Star at odds of 43-1 Feb. 15, good for a 108 Beyer Speed Figure. His final time of 1:48.85 was the fastest Risen Star in seven runnings (including one year with split divisions) since it was elongated to nine furlongs in 2020. Future GI Preakness S. winner Journalism (Curlin) matched Magnitude's gaudy figure two weeks later in the GII DK Horse San Felipe S. at Santa Anita Mar. 1. The only sophomore to earn a higher rating this season has been GI Kentucky Derby and GI Belmont Stakes winner Sovereignty (Into Mischief), who received a 109 Beyer Speed Figure in the Belmont. Magnitude has posted seven breezes for Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen at Churchill Downs, including a five-furlong move in 1:00 (2/19) June 22, since having that aforementioned chip removed by Dr. Larry Bramlage four days after the Risen Star. “With a horse that has run as fast as him in the past, we're dreaming big,” Asmussen said. “His Risen Star was brilliant in time, as well as who he beat that day. Obviously, the ankle chip was not ideal, especially the timing of it. But the rehab at Becky Maker's went well. He's done exceptionally well since he came back into training and has put in some very good recent works. I feel that the Iowa Derby is the right spot to get him back started.” Magnitude got his picture taken twice last year and capped his five-race, 2-year-old campaign with a well-beaten second-place finish in the Gun Runner S. Dec. 21. He finished sixth-beaten 2 3/4 lengths-in the slop in the GIII Lecomte S. Jan. 18 before his breakout performance in the Risen Star. Magnitude will join Asmussen's string in Saratoga following his trip to Altoona this weekend. The stakes schedule at the Spa is topped by the GI DraftKings Travers S. Aug. 23. “The circumstances are what we're looking for as far as the way the racetrack is playing, the (1 1/16 miles) distance, and it being a little cooler in the evening,” Asmussen said of the Iowa Derby. “Hopefully, we can get back in the mix with horses that his numbers indicate he belongs with.” One of 24 graded winners for Taylor Made's leading young sire Not This Time, Magnitude was produced by the Bernardini mare Rockadelic, a daughter of MGISW and GI Kentucky Oaks runner-up Octave (Unbridled's Song). The $310,000 Keeneland November weanling turned $450,000 Keeneland September yearling was bred in Kentucky by Ron Stolich. Asmussen has trained two of Not This Time's top performers thus far–2022 Travers winner and champion 3-year-old colt Epicenter, and Cogburn, who set a North American record for 5 1/2 furlongs while capturing the grassy GI Jaipur S. in :59.80 at Saratoga last year. “Not This Time has been unbelievable to me,” Asmussen said. “Epicenter being champion 3-year-old, then Cogburn running 5 1/2 in under a minute last year, still one of the craziest races I've ever been a part of. We did acquire Magnitude because of his physical similarities to Epicenter and also being by Not This Time gave us a level of confidence. Magnitude has proven to be worthy.” The post Asmussen ‘Dreaming Big’ Ahead of Magnitude’s Return in Iowa Derby appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Charlie Appleby was expected to take Friday's seven-furlong novice at Sandown, but it was the stable's second-string Pacifica Pier who came out on top in one for the notebooks. Unleashed by James Doyle to take control a furlong out, the 13-2 shot stayed on strongly to record a half-length success from the eyecatcher of all eyecatchers, Juddmonte's Publish (Kingman). There was another 3/4-of-a-length margin back to Godolphin's favourite Key Of Magic (Justify) in third. “He's a big boy to sit on and I had to nurse him along and wait to get organised, but when I went for him he got really lost,” Doyle explained. “He's a raw horse who will benefit from time. We were hoping going racing would spark him up a bit and he feels like a horse for the backend of the season and beyond–I see him as a three-year-old and he feels like he'll certainly go a mile in time. This ground might have been as quick as he wants.” The post Palace Pier’s Pacifica Pier Prevails In Fascinating Affair At Sandown appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

I doubt you been laughing for a year...you come across as too miserable for that ...but when these excellence awards began last year you labelled them laughable/jokes . At least you consistent and your bitterness permanent ! When Chief eventually asked you if you liked anything at all about NZ racing you replied ....yes , The Cossack. i don't think the poor horse has won since ! Is there anything else you like about NZ Racing . Any other priceless quotes to remember you by ?
