Avondale is asset rich and with a sale inevitable now was an excellent time to invest. At $1.5M or thereabouts the Dargaville property was a steal leaving plenty options open. One being working cooperation with the Field Days. Before anything is impossible it has to be proved its not possible. Installing trainers both harness or thoroughbred has possibilities. Pre training another possibility. Clubs need to work together. The trend in Australia is city dwellers like to travel say 60 miles to getaway from the city during the weekend. An opportunity lost. -

Spendthrift Farm's six-time champion General Sire Into Mischief (Harlan's Holiday) will once again stand for $250,000 S&N in 2026, while second crop sire Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}) will be increased to $100,000 S&N, up from $35,000 in 2025, according to a Spendthrift release. Also increased for 2026: leading third crop sire Omaha Beach (War Front) has been increased to $75,000 S&N from $35,000, while leading first crop sire Yaupon (Uncle Mo) will stand for $60,000 S&N, up from $25,000 in 2025. Omaha Beach currently ranks 13th on the General Sires List, while Yaupon ranks in the top 5 among all North American sires by 2-year-old earnings. “What Into Mischief is doing to add to his legacy–siring his record third Kentucky Derby winner and directly accounting for 10 Grade 1 victories so far, not to mention Grade 1 winners sired by four of his sons at stud this year–it just continues to make you realize that we're witnessing one of the greatest sires of all time,” said Ned Toffey, general manager of Spendthrift. “We are now seeing the emergence of young stallions like Vekoma, Omaha Beach, and Yaupon who are also No. 1 in their respective sire crops. You could make the argument that we're in the best of times at Spendthrift, which certainly has a long history that I greatly respect and don't take lightly. It is extremely humbling and gratifying, and it makes you proud of the work that is being done here by the entire team from the top down, starting with Eric and Tammy Gustavson.” In 2025, Into Mischief surpassed Tapit as the all-time leading sire by progeny earnings–becoming the first in history to exceed the $225 million mark–and appears on his way to a seventh straight General Sire title in North America. Vekoma also ranks as the No. 2 Sire of 3-Year-Olds in North America from his first crop, only behind Into Mischief. Yet, his 12 black type-winning 3-year-olds are the most of any sire this year–including Into Mischief–and his 6 graded-winning 3-year-olds to date from his debut crop is the co-highest among all North American sires. Spendthrift recently announced that it will stand GI Hopeful winner Chancer McPatrick (McKinzie) in 2026. The 3-year-old will make his final start in the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Del Mar. His introductory fee will be announced upon retirement. Decreasing slightly for 2026, Forte (Violence) ($45,000 in '25) and National Treasure (Quality Road) ($40,000 in '25) will both stand for $35,000, while Dornoch (Good Magic)'s fee has been set at $30,000, down from $40,000 this year. Stallions participating in Spendthrift's Safe Bet Program for 2026 are Greatest Honour (Tapit) and Mo Donegal (Uncle Mo). Both will be represented by their first crop of 2-year-olds to race, and the Safe Bet Program guarantees breeders a graded stakes winner in 2026, or a stud fee would not be owed for any foal resulting from a 2026 cover to those stallions. “We still have a lot to look forward to this year, including what is shaping up to be the best representation by our stallions that we've had in a Breeders' Cup,” said Toffey. “It's an exciting time, and we are energized to announce stud fees and get to work.” 2026 Spendthrift Fees: Into Mischief (Harlan's Holiday) $250,000 Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}) $100,000 Omaha Beach (War Front) $75,000 Yaupon (Uncle Mo) $60,000 Forte (Violence) $35,000 National Treasure (Quality Road) $35,000 Dornoch (Good Magic) $30,000 Bolt d'Oro (Medaglia d'Oro) $25,000 Jackie's Warrior (Maclean's Music) $25,000 Taiba (Gun Runner) $25,000 Maximus Mischief (Into Mischief) $20,000 Kingsbarns (Uncle Mo) $17,500 Arabian Lion (Justify) $15,000 Authentic (Into Mischief) $15,000 Cyberknife (Gun Runner) $15,000 Goldencents (Into Mischief) $10,000 Mitole (Eskendereya) $10,000 Greatest Honour (Tapit) $7,500 Jimmy Creed (Distorted Humor) $7,500 Rock Your World (Candy Ride {Arg}) $7,500 Thousand Words (Pioneerof the Nile) $7,500 Vino Rosso (Curlin) $7,500 Zandon (Upstart) $7,500 Basin (Liam's Map) $5,000 By My Standards (Goldencents) $5,000 Known Agenda (Curlin) $5,000 Mo Donegal (Uncle Mo) $5,000 Temple City (Dynaformer) Private The post Into Mischief to Stand for $250K in 2026, Vekoma Up To $100K; Big Increases for Omaha Beach, Yaupon appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Sam Mynott has her sights set on the New Zealand Cup carnival with Electron (NZ) (Turn Me Loose), but where the gifted mare takes her first steps toward Riccarton is yet to be locked in. The Cambridge trainer’s preference is to kick off in Saturday’s Gr.3 fastinternet.nz Spring Sprint (1400m) at Otaki if there is any improvement in track conditions, currently rated a Heavy 10. Plan B is for multiple Group Three placegetter Electron to resume closer to home a day before in the Placemakers Taupo Handicap (1300m). “Ideally, she will go to Otaki, but we will see if the sun comes out for us or not and I’ll wait until Thursday afternoon to make that call,” Mynott said. “I am really happy with her and that’s why I don’t want to give her a gut buster first-up, there’s a long season ahead.” Electron has posted two wins and a placing from four first-up appearances and has again worked well ahead of her return without going to the trials. “She’s a bit funny in the barriers and I keep her away from them as much as I can,” Mynott said. “I’ve taken her off the property out to the Windsor Park track and given her some good gallops there. She’s pretty fit but will improve with a run regardless.” Joe Doyle, who won on the Turn Me Loose mare last season, has been booked for the ride at Otaki and George Rooke for Taupo. Mynott has plans to trip south with Electron for the Gr.3 Windsor Park Stud Canterbury Breeders’ Stakes (1400m) on the opening day of the Riccarton carnival and is also nominated for the Gr.3 TAB Mile (1600m) on the middle day. “We’re hoping to get down to Riccarton where I’ve targeted the Breeders’ Stakes and there’s the option to run in both,” she said. “It would just depend how she went and came through the first one, so she could run on both days.” Mynott is also keen to run Miss Madridista at Otaki in the Harcourts Premier Otaki (1200m). “I’d love to get a run into her, and she will cop a bit of cut in the ground,” she said. The Shamexpress mare has won twice from six appearances and hasn’t been seen since her autumn campaign. “She’s come up super well this time in, she’s flying and I’d love to get her rating up to target some better races,” Mynott said. At Taupo, she also formed a good opinion of Too Darn Sweet (Too Darn Hot), who will debut in the McLeod Hiabs Maiden (1100m) with Matthew Cameron in the saddle. “She’s fast and she’s got a beautiful gate (two). She has trialled up really nicely the other day and is definitely one to watch,” Mynott said. View the full article -

Kiwi Group One winner Pier (NZ) (Proisir) will not feature in this year’s Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m), but he will still have the opportunity to run for a A$5 million stake back in Sydney. After a successful campaign in Queensland through the winter, Pier was set on a path towards the Gr.1 Epsom Handicap (1600m) and got off to a flying start when placing in the Gr.2 Theo Marks Stakes (1300m). He was among the main dangers to hot-favourite Autumn Glow (The Autumn Sun) in last Saturday’s Epsom, where he ran a respectable fifth. “His effort was better than it looked, it wasn’t a bad run by any means,” said Darryn Weatherley, who trains in partnership with his daughter Briar. “The occasion got to him a little bit to be fair, when we saddled him at Rosehill for the Theo Marks he was good, but the three weeks in between and being at Randwick for the first time, he was very agitated saddling up. “He got really hot in the Theatre of the Horse and dislodged Ethan Brown (jockey) when he got on him, so he had a bit of a race before he got to the start. “Ethan rode him beautifully, but he did ride him a little bit to take the edge off the favourite (Autumn Glow) early, keeping her three-wide. It was good piloting, but I think we were one run away from having such a hard mile. “When the pace came out of the race at the 800, he was up and running through the bridle, then he came off Autumn Glow’s heels before the turn and got on the wrong leg but still had the audacity to fight on for fifth. “We got a nice enough paycheck for that being such a prestigious race.” Pier’s ownership group, which includes the Weatherleys and prominent Australian owner Ozzie Kheir, opted to pay the late entry fee into the Cox Plate in early September, but he was withdrawn from the nominations in favour of the Gr.1 King Charles III Stakes (1600m), run at Randwick on Everest Day (October 18). “He was in there (Cox Plate) because if you’re not in there, you can’t run, but it was all down to Saturday,” Weatherley said. “I just feel another mile will be more suitable than going the 2040m at Moonee Valley, and he’s also stabled in Sydney at the present time, so it would be a big trip to go into a high pressure race. “I feel the run has improved him so his next run will be in the King Charles. I know it’ll be a very strong field, but I think we’ll have a better horse on the day and we’ll chance our luck. “He’s ticking all the boxes, I’ve never seen him look so good and had him feel so good. I just hope next Saturday week that with his freshness taken off him, his manners are a bit better and he can be competitive. “If he gets some of the chocolates in a A$5 million race, it’s certainly well worth being there.” Pier is currently rated a $15 hope in the King Charles, in a market headed by glamour mares Pride Of Jenni (Pride of Dubai) ($3.50) and Fangirl (Sebring) ($3.60).
