    • Joseph O'Brien trainee Apples And Bananas (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}–Simannka {Ire}, by Mastercraftsman {Ire}), fresh off a black-type breakthrough in last month's Listed Criterium du Fonds Europeen de l'Elevage at Deauville, continued on a winning roll with a battling victory in Saturday's Goffs Million at the Curragh. The 5-2 second choice was quickly into stride from the stands' side stall and gained an immediate advantage in this seven-furlong test. Comfortable on the front end until scrubbed along with a quarter-mile remaining, he was tackled by 9-4 favourite Antelope Canyon (Ire) (No Nay Never) entering the final furlong and refused to yield under a late drive to bravely deny that rival by a head in a ding-dong thriller. Apples And Bananas, a €130,000 Goffs Orby graduate, is the second of three foals and lone scorer from two runners out of Listed Lenebane Stakes third Simannka (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), herself produced by a winning half-sister to multiple Group 1-winning sire Sinndar (Ire) (Grand Lodge). The May-foaled bay, whose third dam is stakes-winning matriarch Sinntara (Ire) (Lashkari {GB}), is full to a yearling colt.   The post Wootton Bassett’s Apples And Bananas Prevails in Goffs Million Thriller appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Emulating his half-brother Earthlight (Ire) (Shamardal), Godolphin's Shadow Of Light (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}–Winters Moon {Ire}, by New Approach {Ire}) took a major stride forward to dominate Saturday's G1 Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket. Content to track the 4-5 market-leader Whistlejacket (Ire) (No Nay Never) and the leader Dash Dizzy (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), the Charlie Appleby-trained 11-4 second favourite who had been second in the G2 Gimcrack Stakes at York in August was sent forward by William Buick to take command approaching two out and surge to an emphatic four-length success. Whistlejacket, who was the sole Ballydoyle representative after the withdrawal of Ides Of March (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), held on for second by 1 1/2 lengths from Dash Dizzy. “He'd improved a lot since York, where he didn't get the rub of the green and the ground was an unknown today but he was impressive,” Buick said. “He's growing up all the time and is very versatile as to how races are run. He rides like a very quick horse and he could get further, but he looks a six-furlong horse to me.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1840029819142082791 The post Lope De Vega’s Shadow Of Light Wins The Middle Park For Godolphin appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • A colt from the first crop of GI A.G. Vanderbilt Handicap hero Lexitonian (Speightstown) realized a final bid of $115,000 from Noble Oaks to top the LTBA Breeders Sales of Louisiana Yearling Sale held Friday at the Louisiana Equine Sales and Events Center in Opelousas. Bred in Louisiana by Clear Creek Stud and Warran J. Harang and consigned to the single-session sale by Clear Creek Stud, hip 97 is a son of the unraced Spun Lace (Hard Spun), the dam of four winners from four to the races, including Zestina (Silent Name {Jpn}), a two-time stakes winner and third in the GIII Whimsical Stakes at Woodbine. Clear Creek Stud acquired Spun Lace for $40,000 in foal to Mucho Macho Man at the 2021 Keeneland November Sale. The 14-year-old mare foaled a Highly Motivated colt in Louisiana this past Apr. 16 and was bred back to Drain the Clock. From an original catalog of 170 yearlings, the auction house reported sales on 122 horses for gross receipts of $1,214,700, an average of $9,957 and median of $5,000. Thirty-four horses were unsold for a buyback rate of 21.8%. The average declined by 8.5%, while the median dropped by 16.7%. A total of 23 horses of all ages–14 mares, seven horses of racing age and two weanlings–sold for $42,700. Last year's sale was topped by a $90,000 colt by Anchor Down.
