Naas stage some potentially key Royal Ascot pointers on Sunday, with the feature G3 Goffs Lacken S. seeing the reintroduction of AMO Racing and Giselle De Aguiar's G1 Phoenix S. and G2 Railway S. winner Bucanero Fuerte (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). Failing to see out the seventh furlong of the G1 Vincent O'Brien National S. when last seen at The Curragh in September, he faces last year's G3 Marble Hill S. winner Givemethebeatboys (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) who has a race under his belt having won Navan's Listed Committed S. last month. In the card's G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint S., a fascinating pre-Ascot clash awaits as Moyglare's Sparkling Sea (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) bids to confirm of her course-and-distance defeat of Ballydoyle's Fairy Godmother (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire), with Alpha Racing's four-length Curragh Median Sires Series Maiden winner Barnavara (Ire) (Calyx {GB}) also in the mix. The latter hails from the Jessica Harrington stable successful in this in 2017 with Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), while the last two winners were Meditate (Ire) (No Nay Never) and Porta Fortuna (Ire) (Caravaggio) so it pays to take note of this early juvenile staging post.

'TDN Rising Star' Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) returned to the worktab for the first time since his bang-up second to Mystik Dan (Goldencents) in the GI Kentucky Derby, breezing a half-mile in the company of his GIII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby-winning stablemate Domestic Product (Practical Joke) in :48.20 (3/31) over the Oklahoma training track at Saratoga. With light rain falling, the pair galloped out six furlongs in 1:14 4/5, according to trainer Chad Brown. “I thought the horse worked super,” Brown said of Sierra Leone, who was once again equipped with the blinkers for the move. “I'm very, very pleased with him. He's settled into Saratoga nicely.” Off as the 9-2 second favorite in the Derby, the $2.3-million Fasig-Tipton Saratoga topper sustained a long run from the rear and locked up with Japan's Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) for the stretch drive. The two exchanged bumps repeatedly and Sierra Leone, who drifted in several paths, was just up for second in a tight three-way photo. Brown holds no concerns about Sierra Leone's antics going forward. “I think he was just getting a bit tired in the stretch and those two horses were leaning on each other,” said Brown. “I'm turning the page on that. It's just part of him.” The conditioner is giving Domestic Product a pass for his 13th at Churchill Downs, as he threw a shoe and grabbed a quarter. While Sierra Leone is on target for the June 8 GI Belmont S. at the Spa, Domestic Product is not under consideration for the 10-furlong test, though he has healed up well, Brown said. Also on the tab for Brown were Program Trading (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) and I'm Very Busy (Maclean's Music), first and seventh home, respectively, in the GI Old Forester Turf Classic on the Derby undercard. The two went a half-mile in company in :49 flat (9/31) Saturday morning and each has the GI Resorts World Casino Manhattan S. on the Belmont undercard as their next target, and Brown is also willing to excuse I'm Very Busy's effort. “I'm Very Busy didn't handle the paddock well on Derby Day and he was not acting right,” the trainer said. “He stuck his foot in the hind portion of the gate and that race is a total throw-out for him.” Also headed for Belmont Day engagements are 'TDN Rising Star' Blazing Sevens (Good Magic), who went four furlongs in :49 flat (47/186) at Belmont ahead of the GI Hill 'n' Dale Metropolitan H; and the GI Acorn S.-bound Regulatory Risk (Omaha Beach), who galloped a half-mile in :49.52 (81/186) over the Belmont training track Saturday morning. In other Met-related news, White Abarrio (Race Day) breezed a half-mile in :47.58 (1/90) at Belmont Friday morning. Third in last year's renewal, the 5-year-old would be making his first start since finishing a disappointing 10th in the G1 Saudi Cup in February. Brown added that Resolute Racing's 'TDN Rising Star' Sweet Rebecca (American Pharoah) would work Sunday and a decision on a possible appearance in the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot would likely be made the following day.

Capitalizing on his characteristic quick turn of foot and a rocket ship out of the gate, Frost Free (c, 3, Frosted–D J's Favorite, by Union Rags) took to the lead and never looked back to claim his first black-type win in the GIII Chick Lang S. With the poor start of Mr Skylight (Practical Joke), Frost Free was able to step out and have the pace his own way, putting up :23.24 and :46.66 fractions before rolling into the lane still in command. The grey started his career at Lone Star with Danny Pish before moving over to Oaklawn Park and Brett Creighton. He'd most recently hit the board in the Bachelor S. Apr. 27. Cats by Five (Audible) gave chase but could only manage second despite the winner drifting around late. Mr Skylight got up for third. Sales history: $27,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP; $100,000 2yo '23 TTAAPR. O-Keene Thoroughbreds LLC; B-Jackpot Farm (KY); T-Brett Creighton.

Guy Heald homebred Fast Tracker (GB) (Churchill {Ire}), who is two-for-two after taking the Listed Prix de Suresnes at Chantilly at the beginning of the month, has been sold to Wathnan Racing, Jour de Galop reported. Formerly trained by Henri-Alex Pantall, the chestnut holds entries in the G3 Prix Hocquart, the G1 Qatar Prix du Jockey Club, and the G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The deal was facilitated by Richard Brown of Blandford Bloodstock. “He was very impressive during his last race and is on an upward trajectory,” Brown told the French publication. “Guy Heald is a commercial breeder and has been a true gentleman during this process. Finding this type of Classic prospect is difficult.” Out of the unraced Emma Knows (Ire) (Anabaa), the colt is a half-brother to the Prix de Suresnes second My Scholar (Fr) (Pour Moi {Ire}), while his dam is a half-sister to two black-type horses led by the dual Group 3-placed King Of Camelot (Fr) (Camelot {GB}). G1 Australian Cup winner Fifty Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) is under the third dam.
