The Coolmore partners' Title Role (Too Darn Hot) rattled home a convincing winner of the Jumeirah Guineas Trial sponsored by DP World in the Meydan opener on Friday. Keen early under James Doyle, the Simon and Ed Crisford runner kicked four deep in early straight, seized command at the 300-metre mark and stormed away to victory, his second in four starts. Likely headed to the Jumeirah Guineas on Emirates Super Saturday in February, Title Role held the rallying Sword Maker (Pinatubo) for Godolphin by 1 1/4 lengths. He was a neck in front of fellow royal blue colourbearer Treanmor (Frankel). The final time for the 1600 metres over good ground was 1:38.72. Second at first asking at Newbury in May, the bay claimed a Kempton affair in October and ran third in a conditions race locally over 1400 metres on January 2. Out of a full-sister to the star-crossed multiple group winner Bronze Cannon (Lemon Drop Kid), Title Role counts half-sister Plucky Lass (Medaglia d'Oro) as the dam of G3 Oh So Sharp Stakes heroine Calendar Girl (Advertise) and the multiple stakes-placed Gutsy Girl (Blue Point). GIII My Charmer Handicap victress Valiant Girl has a two-year-old filly by Cracksman yet to race. 1st-Meydan, Cond., AED500,000, 1-30, 3yo, 1600mT, gd.

Trainer Jerome Reynier has been dealt a hammer blow with the news that recent Group 2 Cape Verdi runner-up Quid Pro Quo would face a period on the sidelines following a “freak accident” on the training grounds at Meydan. The Team Valor-owned filly had been gearing up towards a tilt at the Group 2 Balanchine Stakes at Meydan. However, her Dubai campaign has now been cast in serious doubt after connections believe she has sustained a stress fracture to her pelvis during a routine canter. Team Valor's Barry Irwin said, “I am thankful for the immediate attention from the veterinarian team at Meydan and all associated with the Reynier yard for quick assistance.” A leading filly in her native South Africa, Quid Pro Quo was purchased by Team Valor in December 2024.

Conditions of entry for the £50,000 Arena Racing Company (ARC) Racehorse to Eventer Challenge 2026 have been tweaked following a review of the first running of the event. The brainchild of Dash Grange Stud owner Jayne McGivern and Cornbury House Horse Trials' founder and president David Howden and supported by ARC, the challenge is designed to showcase the versatility and suitability of former racehorses for eventing. Following consultation with stakeholders, the entry conditions have been slightly altered for 2026. The ARC Racehorse to Eventer Challenge Cup will be restricted to horses who have not competed at Advanced or CCI4* level. They must also have raced or have been in training at a registered training yard; proof will be required of the latter. Jayne McGivern said, “I was delighted that the inaugural class was such a success last year, that ARC came on board to support it, and that it received such a huge amount of positive coverage. There is such a need to promote the talents and versatility of racehorses, and this class is the perfect way to do that. “With year one under our belts, I am keen that we focus on ex-racehorses that are in the formative stages of their eventing careers and that we encourage riders to keep looking for suitable horses and working with them, hence restricting the ARC Racehorse to Eventer Challenge Cup to those not already at the top of the sport.” Once again, the ARC Racehorse to Eventer Challenge Cup will be run at British Eventing Open Novice level, but using an FEI CCI2*-S dressage test in a long arena and with the showjumping phase last and in reverse order on Saturday, 12 September. Horses must have achieved two Minimum Eligibility Requirements (MERs) at novice or above in the current season (2026 and by the point of entry). Riders will be restricted to two entries each. For any further enquiries about the ARC Racehorse to Eventer Challenge Cup, please email wendy@wendyevans.uk.

The first of 17 catalogued GoffsGo sales was topped on Thursday by hurdler Miss Kingston at £22,000. The mare was offered by Vinesgrove Stud and has shown plenty of promise for her trainer Paul McEnery in her three hurdle starts to date which included a third placing at Thurles in November last year. The daughter of Kingston Hill was purchased by Jerry McGrath. Billy McEnery of Vinesgrove Stud commented, “It's our first venture into selling online and we were pleasantly surprised with the interest in the mare. I think it's the way forward for selling form horses, it's a good platform to trade horses on and we were delighted with how it went.” Overall, the sale saw 12 of the 37 catalogued lots sell for a turnover of £84,200 with other successful vendors including Ballyshannon Stud, Henry Daly, Jack Davison, Kildaragh Stud, Mick Appleby, Shade Oak Stud, Stuart Coltherd and more. Goffs Group Chief Executive, Henry Beeby commented, “We are committed to seeing GoffsGo continue to grow in the online marketplace and the January Sale has kicked off what will be a busy year for the platform with another 16 sales currently in the calendar. As the 'new kid on the block' the only way is up, and we are delighted with the positive reception from potential vendors who have committed to future sales given our customer friendly pricing structure. “Indeed, GoffsGo offers outstanding value with an entry fee of just £49 and the lowest available vendor commission of 1.5% which is only charged for lots that sell on the platform. That is unmatched by any other European online service. Our next online sale is the GoffsGo February Sale which will be held in three weeks' time on the 19th and entries are being taken now.” The post Miss Kingston Heads GoffsGo January Sale At £22,000 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
