Fresh off his first graded stakes victory in last month's Indiana Derby (G3), Jim Bakke and Gerry Isbister's Tip Top Thomas will look to secure back-to-back wins in the $200,000 Smarty Jones Stakes at Parx Racing.View the full article -
Will be interesting to follow her and where they decide to first start. That $12 for the 1000 Guineas could disappear very quickly, so wise to get on now, based on TA's record. A small question mark still, is that first trial was on good footing and she ran a lonely last, whereas the 2 impressive trial wins have been on heavy tracks -

In this continuing series, TDN's Senior Racing Editor Steve Sherack catches up with the connections of promising maidens to keep on your radar. The gone-too-soon, two-time GI Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic heroine and three-time champion Royal Delta (Empire Maker) left behind only one foal, the winning filly Delta's Royalty (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). The future looks bright for the 8-year-old mare's second produce Noble Dynasty (c, 2, Kingman {GB}), who recorded a fantastic runner-up finish for Besilu Stables and Hall of Famer Bill Mott on debut going a mile over the inner turf course at Saratoga Aug. 7. Off as the 7-2 second choice, Noble Dynasty broke sharply and chased in fourth beneath Junior Alvarado through fractions of :24.03 and :48 over the firm going. He was guided out five wide a quarter of a mile from home and came charging down the stretch with powerful strides in a field-best :23.24 to finish a half-length short of favored Teddy's Rocket (Liam's Map), who enjoyed first run. Noble Dynasty received a respectable 70 Beyer Speed Figure for the effort, just two points less than the winner. “Bill (Mott) liked the way he was working and we couldn't be more pleased with the way he ran,” said Fabricio Buffolo, a bloodstock advisor for Ben Leon's operation. “Very good experience on his first time out and showed that there will be plenty of room for improvement.” Leon purchased the Mott-trained Royal Delta for $8.5 million out of the Dispersal of Palides Investments N. V. at the 2011 Keeneland November sale following the first of her two straight wins at the Breeders' Cup. Named champion 3-year-old filly that season, Royal Delta returned to the races in the white-and-burgundy colors of Besilu Stables and was named champion older mare of 2012 and 2013. A 12-length debut winner at Belmont Park and no-brainer 'TDN Rising Star,' Royal Delta posted a career record of 22-12-5-1, led by six Grade I victories, and earnings of $4,811,126. She passed away at the age of nine in 2017. Noble Dynasty's third dam Delta Princess (A.P. Indy) was a six-time stakes winner (three graded) on the lawn. This is also the female family of top-level grass winners Delta Prince (Street Cry {Ire}), Crown Queen (Smart Strike), Biondetti (Bernardini) and Indy Five Hundred (A.P. Indy). Noble Dynasty's sire Kingman is responsible for 14 Grade/Group 1 winners worldwide. The Kingman x Galileo cross has netted G1 Bet365 Fillies Mile winner Commissioning (GB) and G1 Prix de Diane Longines winner Sparkling Plenty (Fr) (o/o a Frankel {GB} mare). “Hopefully, he will be a nice horse,” Buffolo said. “It would be special and deserving for Mr. Leon to do well with a descendant of Royal Delta.” Since launching 'Second Chances' in 2017, 64 maidens have been featured in these pages (through 2024), producing 25% graded stakes winners, 34% stakes winners and 48% stakes horses. The series has introduced eight future winners at the top level, led by this year's GI Kentucky Derby and GI Belmont Stakes winner Sovereignty (Into Mischief), 2023 Horse of the Year Cody's Wish (Curlin) and fellow two-time Breeders' Cup winner Golden Pal (Uncle Mo). The post Second Chances: ‘Very Good Experience First Time Out’ for Royally Bred Noble Dynasty appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

It's odd how you apply a different set of lenses to TA than you do to the likes of the Pitman stables and other less financially resourced stables. Now in your eyes TA are the little guys ... LMAO! -
Surely TA weren't thinking of taking on Waterhouse and Waller were they Chief? Didn't they spend more at a sale than TA did all year?
