    • Sanwa, the dam of G1 Deutsches Derby hero and Group 1 sire Sea The Moon, was euthanised due to laminitis in England. She was 21. Concurrently, her Cracksman filly foal broke a leg in a paddock accident and died. Gestut Gorlsdorf's owner Heike Bischoff-Lafrentz said, “Sea The Moon's little Cracksman sister broke her leg yesterday in the paddock and could not be saved. With a heavy heart, we decided to also relieve mama Sanwa of her laminitis, so that she could accompany her daughter over the Rainbow Bridge.” The daughter of Monsun is credited with 10 foals, four of them winners. Besides the Classic exploits of Sea The Moon, Sanwa produced the stakes-placed Sansiwa to the cover of Dansili, as well as Listed Prix Joubert heroine and G3 Prix Minerve third Sea The Sky (Sea The Stars), a full-sister to Sea The Moon. Another Sea The Stars daughter, Sea The Sun, is the dam of Listed Prix Solitude winner Golden Lyra (Lope De Vega). Added Heike's husband Niko Lafrentz, “Sanwa and her son Sea The Moon turned our breeding lives upside down. We will miss her forever. It's wonderful that she lives on in so many Moonie children and grandchildren.” The post Sanwa, The Dam Of Sea The Moon, Euthanised At 21 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Continuing his education at Newmarket on Thursday, Godolphin's Distant Storm (Night Of Thunder) put a defeat in the Acomb behind him with a powerful display in the feature G3 Tattersalls Stakes. Too free when third in that York contest last month, the €1.9million Arqana May Breeze Up topper who had beaten the subsequent Futurity winner Constitution River on debut at the July Festival was anchored in rear early. Set alight by William Buick heading to the downhill section, the 6-5 favourite brushed his rivals aside to register a 4 3/4-length success from Commander's Intent (Victor Ludorum).   The post Godolphin’s Arqana Sensation Distant Storm Blitzes Newmarket Rivals appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Group winner Oceans Four is the latest wildcard for the Arqana Arc Sale on Saturday, October 4. Set to sell as lot 19, the G3 Prix des Chenes hero is trained by Brian Meehan for Family Amusements & DBS Partners. A winner at second asking, the son of Zoustar was third in the G3 Solario Stakes prior to his Chenes tally. He is a grandson of group winner Savanne (Rock Of Gibraltar) from the family of multiple group winner Sevenna's Knight (Camelot) and the talented trio of Sevenna (Galileo), Sevenna Star (Redoute's Choice), and Scatina (Samum). Meehan said, “Oceans Four is a very progressive horse, improving with every run. He has a bright future ahead of him and will stay a mile and a quarter going forward. I was particularly impressed by his performance at Chantilly, where he won despite there not being a very fast pace. He's a very classy horse.” Bred by Paul Frampton and Widden Stud, the gelding was picked out for £82,000 by Sam Sangster Bloodstock at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale.

    • A max field of 30 juveniles will contest the Goffs Million at The Curragh on Saturday. The seven-furlong affair, worth €1 million, will pay prize-money down to the 10th-place finisher and is only open to graduates of the 2024 Goffs Orby Sale. The 2025 edition of the sale begins its four-day run on Monday, September 29. Won by Apples And Bananas (Wootton Bassett) for trainer Joseph O'Brien in 2024, the race features a quintet of O'Brien runners this year anchored by G2 Prix Robert Papin heroine Green Sense (Starman). He ran third in the G1 Phoenix Stakes last time. O'Brien said, “She's been a star for us so far this year. Anthony Bromley and Simon Munir picked her out in the Orby Sale last year and figured we'd give the Million as good a shot as we can. She's in really good nick, stepping up to seven furlongs for the first time which is a little bit of a question mark, but she's probably the most proven animal in the race and a real contender to hopefully get a good chunk of the prize-money.” G2 Debutante Stakes heroine Composing (Wootton Bassett) opposes from Joseph's father Aidan's yard. She ran fourth in the G1 National Stakes. The British challenge features €5,000 Orby Book 2 grad Homestrait (Coulsty) for Brian Ellison. Already a recipient of a Goffs €50,000 bonus earlier this summer, the filly has never been worse than second in seven starts. Ellison said, “She's a lovely, tough filly and very game. This is a tough ask against some strong, well-bred types, but we'll do our best.” Other Goffs Millions entrants include Johnny Murtagh's Take Charge Star (Starspangledbanner), and Red Earth (No Nay Never) for Fozzy Stack. Henry Beeby, Goffs Group chief executive, said, “The Goffs Million is the richest juvenile race in Europe and a perfect showcase for the Orby Sale. Last year's race was a tremendous advertisement for the sale, and this year promises to be even more competitive with leading contenders from both Ireland and the UK. The success of the Goffs Two Million Series, with €1 million of €50,000 bonus races across Ireland and the UK, has added huge momentum and shows the tangible rewards available to Orby buyers. We now look forward to welcoming buyers from around the world to Kildare Paddocks for this year's Orby Sale.” The post Max Field Drawn For Saturday’s Goffs Million appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
