    • Yes a big run and she is a quality, genuine G1 horse, but why are they not putting her over more ground, that is her forte and why they paid big money for her.  Is there a lack of suitable races.  They need to get a wriggle on and secure a G1 win for her breeding value, and except for Winx they only have a limited life at the top.
    • Just had another look at the All Star Mile.  That was a big run by Leica Lucy on the slow part of the track.  Of the 8 sectionals she had the fastest time in six of them and only beaten 1.5 lengths.
    • All eyes may have been on Eclipse champion 3-year-old filly Nitrogen (Medaglia d'Oro) in Oaklawn's GII Azeri Stakes Saturday, but it was Majestic Oops (m, 6, Majestic Harbor–Miss Oops, by Olmodavor) who sprung the upset. Racing in the colors of Medallion Racing, Evan Trommer Ward, Arrieta Agave Racing Stable, and Shelia Regan, Majestic Oops left the gate sharply before taking back on the inside behind La Cara (Street Sense). She waited in third with Nitrogen to her outside behind La Cara's :23.78 and :47.17 fractions, then tipped out coming off the turn as Nitrogen tackled La Cara. Majestic Oops, wide and full of run, quickly put about two lengths on Nitrogen nearing the wire as Regaled (Mohaymen) came up on the inside to outfinish Nitrogen for second. The final time for the 1 1/16 miles was 1:43.36. Second in the GIII Molly Pitcher and third in the GI Ballerina last summer, Majestic Oops finished off the board in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff. She kicked off 2026 with a win in the American Beauty Stakes at Oaklawn Feb. 13.  O- Medallion Racing, Evan Trommer, Arrieta Agave Racing Stable, and Shelia Regan; B-William Dory, Sandy Dory, Gary Kropp, and Janet Kropp (Cal.); T-Dan Ward, J-Francisco Arrieta.

    • Crude Velocity (c, 3, Beau Liam–Sweetnsour Kitty, by Lemon Drop Kid) overcame a nightmare journey to become the first 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' for his young sire. Overlooked at odds of 10-1, he was off to a slow start from his rail draw and trailed the field shortly after the break. He rushed up beneath Florent Geroux and was under a tight hold in traffic racing just behind the leaders through an opening quarter in :22.23. Forced to steady, he dropped back to seventh and was heading the wrong way around the far turn. Undeterred, he dialed it up again, was tipped out into the clear in the stretch and came powering home to reel in Civil Liberty (Independence Hall) by a head. The final time for 6 1/2 furlongs was 1:15.30. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. Sales history: $250,000 2yo '25 OBSOPN; $3,000 yrl '24 FTDDE; $12,000 yrl '24 FTKOCT.
