    • Kingsolver (f, 2, Omaha Beach–Famous Writer, by Speightstown), a debut fifth at Churchill Downs June 11, earned her diploma in style at second asking in Saratoga's $150,000 Schuylerville S. Off as the second choice at odds of 3-1, she battled between horses as four of them lined up early. Heavily favored My Sweetheart (Flameaway) made the first move and drew clear from her five rivals on the far turn and looked well on her way. But Kingsolver had other ideas. My Sweetheart enjoyed a two-length advantage an eighth of a mile from home, but Kingsolver kept on coming down the stretch to reel in that rival late to win going away by 1 1/2 lengths. The final time for six furlongs was 1:13.17. Sales history: $20,000 yrl '24 KEESEP; $95,000 2yo '25 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0.

    • The Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB) allocation to the new disease surveillance, veterinary science and education programme starting in 2025 is rising to £2.76m [from £2.32m]. The Racing Foundation and the British European Breeders' Fund (BEBF) are supporting specific projects with an additional £220,000, bringing the total funds available to £2.98m.   The news comes following continued support from the Racing Foundation, the TBA, the Gerald Leigh Charitable Trust and the BEBF.  That support is said to underline the importance that the industry places on advancing the health and welfare of the Thoroughbred. Racehorse owners and the TBA also contribute towards the provision of equine infectious disease surveillance.   Alan Delmonte, Chief Executive of the Levy Board, said, “Promoting and supporting veterinary science and education is one of the statutory objectives of the HBLB. The Board's Veterinary Advisory Committee takes a careful and thorough approach in assessing which applications should be recommended for funding. This year saw a particularly high number of veterinary research applications, and the Board is pleased to have increased funding for 2025 to £2.76 million. The Board also extends its thanks to the industry partner funders, whose involvement contributes to world-class research being conducted in Britain.” Simon Sweeting, Chairman, British EBF, “To date, the British EBF has directly funded over £1.3million of equine veterinary research projects, in addition to our £42million prize money allocations and we are pleased to be building on that support by fully funding two projects in 2025. The Trustees selected a study covering Inbreeding depression in Thoroughbreds and methods for non-invasive diagnosis of Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in foals. Both subject areas are of importance to the long-term health of the Thoroughbred, and we are delighted to be supporting the aims of the HBLB in this important work.” The post New Industry Funding for Equine Disease Surveillance and Veterinary Science appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Saturday's Observations features a half-brother to a recent Group 1-placed filly. 3.32 Deauville, Debutantes, €45,700, 2yo, c/g, 6fT RAYIF (IRE) (Sea The Moon {Ger}) is an intriguing newcomer for The Aga Khan Studs and Francis-Henri Graffard stable, being a half-brother to the recent G1 Commonwealth Cup third Rayevka. Stouter-bred on the sire's side than that daughter of Blue Point, he has obviously been showing enough at home to warrant an introduction over this trip.
