Enoch (Frankel), a half-brother to Wootton Bassett's Prix du Jockey Club, Champion and Irish Champion-winning sire Almanzor, was sent off at 4-1 for Newmarket's seven-furlong maiden on Friday and raced in rear after a tardy start. Staying on powerfully up the hill inside the final furlong, George Strawbridge's homebred collared the long-time leader Battle Apple (Cracksman) en route to a 1 1/4-length success. “He's been a horse we've taken our time with,” John Gosden said. “The mare had one brilliant horse and it's not worked out too well since then, but this is hopefully a smart colt. He's not over-big, but I like the way he's improved in his work through the last six weeks. Rab [Havlin] had a nice feel off him the other day in his work, we weren't expecting him to come and win but he's done it well.” “We're still in September, so I might see what else there is for him,” he added. “Whether he can go for a novice or something more interesting, we'll see. I think he'd handle a bit of cut in the ground.” The winner is out of Darkova (Maria's Mon), who other than Almanzor has produced three Stakes performers including this colt's Listed-placed full-sister Natasha. The family includes the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, Prix du Moulin de Longchamp and Prix d'Astarte-winning champion Darjina (Zamindar), Polish Precedent's Prix du Jockey Club-winning sire Darsi and Wootton Bassett's GIII Franklin-Simpson Stakes winner Guildsman. Unfortunately, Darkova's 2024 filly by Lope De Vega died this year. 6th-Newmarket, £23,000, Mdn, 9-26, 2yo, c/g, 7fT, 1:26.16, g/f. ENOCH (IRE) (c, 2, Frankel {GB}–Darkova, by Maria's Mon) Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $15,818. O/B-George Strawbridge; T-John & Thady Gosden.

Multiple Graded/Group winner Drafted (Field Commission) has been named the 2025 Bill Kraatz Thoroughbred Makeover Ambassador Award recipient, the Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) announced Friday morning. Named for the late past chief steward Bill Kraatz, the award recognizes a graduate horse that has gone on to serve as an ambassador for the athleticism and trainability of retired racehorses in their career beyond racing. Selected by a committee of Makeover officials, Drafted will be presented as the newest member of the honor roll. A millionaire on track, and a globetrotter who visited two other regions of the world during his career, Drafted is described by owner Katie Tarasevich as not what she expected as a 10-year-old, but saw similarities early enough to believe that it was a match meant to be. “I travel a lot, and I noticed that his race career took him to all of the same places I've traveled–I've been to England, I've been to Dubai. And we both have screws in our right ankle!” “He's game for anything,” Tarasevich said, who was still moving between an electric wheelchair and a walking boot when she brought Drafted home. “I wanted an all-rounder, because I like to do a lot of different things with my horses: we've done some hunter shows, some dressage, we've showed in-hand, and we do trail obstacles and trail events all the time.” Drafted participated in the Thoroughbred Makeover and the Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program Championships in 2024 as well as numerous shows and organized trail and endurance rides. Tarasevich says that, while he's a professional in competitions and during outings, at home he's let the bright lights get to him. “I joke that the fame of his international racing career went to his head,” laughs Tarasevich. She says if Drafted doesn't feel that he's getting enough attention from people nearby, he's been known to pick up objects and throw them. The grey knows how to work a zipper and also turns the lights on and off in the barn if he can reach the switch. For his owner, Drafted has been the perfect partner to bring back her confidence and show just what a Thoroughbred is capable of beyond the track. “I haven't found anything that he's scared of or won't try.” The post Drafted is 2025 Bill Kraatz Thoroughbred Makeover Ambassador Award Winner appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

A 16-strong field loaded with two past winners of the G1 Sprinters Stakes will vie for the 1200-metre feature at Nakayama on Sunday. Seventh in the 2024 edition to Lugal (Duramente) with Namura Clair (Mikki Isle) third, Satono Reve ran third in the G1 Hong Kong Sprint last December. After defeating Namura Clair in the G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen in March, he was a good second to Hong Kong Horse of the Year Ka Ying Rising (Shamexpress) in the G1 Chairman's Sprint Prize a month later. In action during Royal Ascot, the Lord Kanaloa entire ran second to Lazzat (Territories) in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. Sunday is his first start back and he leaves from stall seven. Said trainer Noriyuki Hori, “His two seconds in his recent overseas races were disappointing, but they were both very solid performances. The horse has a lot more experience now and has developed considerably as a racehorse. I don't think he's not suited to the Nakayama 1200 meters. I think he's capable of getting good results and proving that he is suited to the race.” Since taking the 2023 Sprinters Stakes, Kurofune mare Mama Cocha has enjoyed mixed fortunes. This term she has fared better, winning the G3 Ocean Stakes in March over this course and distance. Third in the Takamatsunomiya Kinen later that month, she has rolled a pair of twos–in the G2 Keio Hai Spring Cup to Toshin Macau (Big Arthur) and to Kangchenjunga (Big Arthur) in September's G2 Shankei Sho Centaur Stakes, respectively. Adding an extra dash of intrigue is Hong Kong raider Lucky Sweynesse (Sweynesse). In his pomp when the champion four-year-old and champion sprinter on the island in 2023, the four-time Group 1 winner appears to be rounding back into form. A winner of the G2 Sprint Cup over this trip in April of 2024, he was sixth and fourth, respectively, in the G1 Chairman's Sprint Prize and the G3 Sha Tin Vase in the spring. The current racing season is less than a month old, and he ran an encouraging second in a Class 1 handicap on opening day. Ka Pilina (Dunkirk) enters after defeating June Blair (American Pharoah) in the 1200-metre G3 Hakodate Sprint Stakes in June in a record 1:06.60, while Puro Magic (Asia Express) won the G3 Ibis Summer Dash over 1000 metres in August.
