    • Survie, runner-up by a head in the G1 Prix de Diane, will be offered during the Sceptre Sessions at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale from December 1-3. She will sell as lot 1723 on Tuesday, December 2. The daughter of Churchill will be consigned by co-trainers Nicolas Clement and Frauke Hermans on behalf of owners China Horse Club International and Gerard Augustin-Normand. A winner of the G2 Prix de Malleret at three, the four-year-old was third in the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes, second in the G1 Prix Jean Romanet and fourth in the G1 Prix Vermeille this year. She currently holds a Timeform rating of 114. Out of the listed winner and G2 Prix de Royallieu-placed Sotteville (Le Havre), this is the family of G1 Champion Stakes winner King Of Steel and Australian champion Contributer. Clement said, “We are consigning a jewel. She has been the star of the stable and was just beaten a head in a French Classic. She is a top-of-the-ground filly who has been very consistent throughout her career, being Group 1 placed on three occasions including in the Pretty Polly and Prix Jean Romanet. She is one of the very best fillies in Europe and whether to breed or race, I'm sure she'll make somebody happy. We'll be sad to see her go.” Added Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony, “Survie is a very attractive, high-class race filly who could easily have won the Prix de Diane. She offers buyers an opportunity to buy not just an outstanding racehorse to race on, but also a filly who looks an exceptional broodmare prospect. We are honoured to be asked to offer her in the Sceptre Sessions at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale where she joins a growing cast of top class race fillies and broodmares.” The post Prix De Diane Runner-Up Survie To Be Offered At The Sceptre Sessions appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • With reporting 85-90% complete for the 2024 season, 1,099 covered 27,180 mares in North America which resulted in 17,103 lives foals in 2025, the Jockey Club announced Tuesday. The reporting of live foals of 2024 is down 3.4% from last year at this time when The Jockey Club had received reports for 17,700 live foals of 2024. In addition to the 17,103 live foals of 2025 reported through October 13, The Jockey Club also received 1,887 No Foal Reports for the 2025 foaling season. Ultimately, the 2025 registered foal crop is projected to reach 17,300. The number of stallions declined 6.9% from the 1,181 reported for 2023 at this time last year, while the number of mares bred declined 3.3% from the 28,104 reported for 2023. The full 2025 breeding statistics are available alphabetically by stallion name through the online Fact Book on The Jockey Club website. Kentucky annually leads all states and provinces in terms of Thoroughbred breeding activity with Kentucky-based stallions accounting for 61.4% of the mares reported bred in North America in 2024 and 66% of the live foals reported for 2025. The 16,686 mares reported bred to 204 Kentucky stallions in 2024 have produced 11,288 live foals, a 2.7% decrease on the 11,605 Kentucky-sired live foals of 2024 reported at this time last year. The number of mares reported bred to Kentucky stallions in 2024 decreased 2.2% compared to the 17,056 reported for 2023 at this time last year. California ranked second in mares bred with 1,507 mares producing 980 foals, a decrease of 6.3%. Out of the top ten, only two states showed an increase year over year. New York came third overall at 1,185 mares and 704 foals reported, an increase of 4.8% and New Mexico also increasing marginally with 446 mares and 239 foals showing a 0.8% increase. The biggest drop went to Maryland who reported 499 mares and 302 foals for a 12.2% decrease. Florida also saw double-digit decreases at 1,330 mares and 700 foals with a 10.5% drop. Internationally, 272 progeny were born by stallions standing in North America but foaled aboard led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with 57 foals followed by Japan at 45 and the Republic of Korea at 40. The report also includes 66 mares bred to 20 North American stallions on Southern Hemisphere time.

    • The Curragh's opening six-furlong maiden featured the Group 2-placed Go Just Do It (Kingman), but there was a surprise in store as Ballydoyle's newcomer Trojan Warrior (Wootton Bassett) emerged best. Always travelling strongly for Wayne Lordan, the 13-2 shot looked booked for second as that 6-4 favourite took off in the lead approaching the final furlong but found a surge to overwhelm the Futurity Stakes third late on and win by 1 1/2 lengths. The winner is the second foal out of the smart Monday (Fastnet Rock), the Listed Ingabelle Stakes winner connected to the stellar performers Misty For Me (Galileo) and Fasliyev.   – The post Another Exciting Prospect For Ballydoyle As Trojan Warrior Strikes On Debut appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Aussie invaders Keayang Zahara and Jilliby Ballerini have made their presence felt in the latest Renwick Farms Dominion Trot rankings.   Fresh from running one-two in the Group 1 Bill Collins Sprint at Melton, the two Margaret and Paddy Lee-trained stablemates are now sixth and seventh on this week’s leaderboard.   The pair were highly impressive on Saturday night, clearing out from what was a stacked line-up.   Last year Keayang Zahara was a dominant winner of all three starts on this side of the Tasman. She now has career record of 17 wins from 18 starts and is now a $2.50 favourite with the TAB to win the Dominion.   Jilliby Ballerini meanwhile has climbed six places from 13th on the back of her latest performance. She is the second favourite for the Dominion at $3.   The Lees have not made final decisions as to who, if either, of their star trotters will make the trip to Christchurch.   Other movers this week include the Nathan Williamson-trained Hidden Talent who has gone from 18th to 15th following a big third in last week’s Group 3 Dark Horse at Invercargill.   After finishing second in Friday’s Canterbury Classic at Addington, Don’t Stop Dreaming has moved up two places to seventh in the rankings for the IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup.   Hayden and Amanda Cullen-trained stablemate Vessem was fourth in the same race, and has improved five places to 15th. Tellingly, that puts him inside the cut-off for the $1m feature.   A winner at Alexandra Park on Friday night Jeremiah also gets a big upgrade this week. The Barry Purdon and Scott Phelan-trained four-year-old is now at 22nd, up seven spots.   The rankings are updated weekly in the build up to IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup day at Addington on Tuesday, November 11 with the final rankings to come out following the Kaikoura Cup meeting on Monday, November 3.
