5th-BAQ, $85k, Msw, 2yo, f, 1 1/16mT, post time: 3:15 p.m. ET The first foal from 2020 Eclipse Award-winning juvenile filly Vequist (Nyquist), THE JEWELER (Into Mischief) has drawn the inside stall for a race scheduled for the turf, but which could well be transferred to the main track after a day of wet weather in the Northeast. Winner of the GI Spinaway Stakes, GI Frizette Stakes and the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, Vequist fetched $3.4 million from Spendthrift Farm at the 2021 Fasig-Tipton November Sale. The Jeweler debuts in the Wathnan Racing colors, with Junior Alvarado to ride. Isadora Duncan (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) is a homebred full-sister to SW & GI Belmont Oaks third Opulent Restraint (Ire), both fillies out of Significant Form (Creative Cause), who carried the Stephanie Seymour Brant silks to a pair of graded scores for Chad Brown. The Valentine's Day foal is out of a half-sister to the dam of recent Skidmore Stakes winner Bobrovsky (Daredevil). This is the family of the impressive recent Japanese maiden winner Wayny Su (Into Mischief) and Aqueduct main winner Memorized (Tapit). Belle of Georgia (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) is a half-sister four winners, including Never So Brave (Ire) (No Nay Never), who took the G1 City of York Stakes Aug. 23. TJCIS PPs 1st-DEL, $45k, Msw, 6f, 12:45 p.m. ET HONOR BRIGHT (Quality Road) cost the Speedway Stables braitrust $850,000 at last year's Keeneland September and has obvious pedigree appeal.

After years as the COO of his family's Three Chimneys Farm, which was bought by the Borges Torrealba family in 2013, Case Clay was ready for a change. So in 2022 he moved full-time to his own business, Case Clay Thoroughbred Management Since then, he has also become the racing manager for Wathnan Racing, which is the Emir of Qatar's stable. On the racetrack, Wathnan is one of the fastest-growing racing operations in the world. Racing in the U.S. for less than two years, Wathnan has won the GI Dubai World Cup with Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}) and the GI California Crown with Subsanador (Arg) (Fortify). This week at the Keeneland September Sale, Clay has already purchased 19 yearlings representing a number of clients, including two Into Mischief colts, which both sold for $900,000, and a Flightline colt for $850,000. To discuss his new enterprises, the huge numbers coming out of Keeneland September and even his brief fling with trying to become a standup comic, Clay joined this week's TDN Writers' Room presented by Keeneland. He was the Gainesway Guest of the Week. Clay believes that the robust numbers coming out of Keeneland are due to a number of factors-the huge purses in Kentucky and, in particular, Kentucky Downs, the new tax regulations which allow for 100% bonus depreciation and the overall amount of wealth in the U.S. As the son of Robert Clay, he was exposed to racing at a very young age. “My first foray into racing was when I was in the fourth grade,” Clay said. “My father was in the fertilizer business and the horse business at the time. He told me, 'I'm going to get out of the fertilizer business and do the horse business full time.' I told him that I thought that was a really bad idea, that he had a family to support. His first big horse was Slew o' Gold. Fortunately, it all worked out. We would go to New York and see him run and win races like the Marlboro Cup, the Jockey Club Gold Cup and the Woodward. At that time, I thought, 'Well, this is easy.' You know, you just go up to New York, you watch them win and then you go to Wendy's on the way to the airport. The reason I'm bringing that up is I've always just really loved the racing part of it, even though that wasn't my day-to-day business and the family business at Three Chimneys. But what an absolute pleasure it is for me now that the racing part of it is part of my business.” Wathnan represents deep pockets and the Emir has a desire to win at the highest level. What are the stable's goals? “The idea from the beginning has been to try and buy horses that the Emir and his family would enjoy and be proud of,” Clay said. “That's what we're trying to do-what I'm trying to do in America and what Richard Brown is trying to do in Europe. And, of course, the goal in America is not only to buy horses that the Emir and his family would enjoy and be proud of, but to win the Kentucky Derby, just like everyone else out there at Keeneland right now. ” Had things broken a little bit differently for Clay, he might be on Saturday Night Live right now. His then girlfriend, who is now his wife, took him to a Second City comedy show. When it was done Tina Fey came out on stage and said that they had a training center and invited him to take classes. “That's what I wanted to do, get a day job and try to do the comedy at night,” he said. His classmates included Seth Myers and Jason Sudeikis. He remains good friends with Myers. It didn't work out, but he has nothing but fond memories about that part of his life. “I did love it and I wouldn't trade it for anything the world,” Clay said. “W.T. Young told me when I was 17, take a big risk before you're 30, because if it doesn't work out, you're still young enough and you can go do something else. I had that in my mind. I thought I'm going to take a risk and try this. I'll never kick myself for trying it. I made some great friends and it was a great adventure. I obviously was not funny enough because here I am in the horse business and I'm not in Hollywood or New York.” The Fastest Horse of the Week was Bentornato (Valiant Minister), who got a 108 Beyer in his win in the Louisville Thoroughbred Society Stakes at Churchill Downs. The Fastest Horse of the Week segment is sponsored by WinStar. Elsewhere on the podcast, which is also sponsored by 1/ST TV, the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders' Association, the KTOB and West Point Thoroughbreds, the team of Bill Finley, Zoe Cadman and Randy Moss reviewed the major races from last weekend and took a look ahead at Saturday's card at Parx, which includes the GI Pennsylvania Derby and the GI Cotillion S. They also discussed the phenomenal year Paco Lopez, who leads the nation in wins, is having and whether or not he is an elite talent or someone who wins a lot of races only because he doesn't face off with the best jockeys in the sport on a daily basis.

Susumu Fujita's Shin Emperor has been ruled out of the upcoming G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe next month due to a respiratory illness, trainer Yoshito Yahagi posted on X. A Group 2 winner in Saudi Arabia and a Group 3 winner in Japan, the full-brother to 2020 Arc hero Sottsass will target the G1 Japan Cup in November, a race he finished second in last year. Third in the 2024 G1 Irish Champion Stakes, he ran sixth in the 2025 edition of the race. The post read, “Shin Emperor underwent an endoscopic examination on Monday local time due to an abnormality observed in its racing performance. As a result, asthma and moderate pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) were identified. “While these conditions do not require immediate complete rest, it was determined that competing in the Arc de Triomphe in optimal condition would be difficult, and the decision was made to withdraw from the race.” The chestnut, who topped the 2022 Arqana August Yearling Sale at €2.1 million, will aim to go one better in the 2025 Japan Cup after he recovers. “Moving forward, the plan is to return to Japan on September 28 and prepare for the Japan Cup,” the post continued. “We kindly ask for your continued support in Japan as well.” The post Shin Emperor Knocked Out Of The Arc With Respiratory Illness, Japan Cup New Target appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
