    • An emotional David Hayes trained his 700th winner in Hong Kong after a race-to-race double in the famous Lindsay Park Racing silks at Happy Valley on Wednesday evening. The two-time Hong Kong champion trainer has endured a nightmare month away from the track, with a bushfire in Australia destroying 90 per cent of the infrastructure at his family stable and causing the loss of seven horses. China Win provided Hayes with a winner the day he returned to Hong Kong from battling those bushfires with...View the full article
    • Last week's Five Fleet Fillies all came out of two back-to-back races on Gulfstream's Pegasus World Cup card. 5. MOVIN' ON UP, GP, 1/24-10th, 1 1/16 miles BEYER SPEED FIGURE-92 (3rd) (m, 5, by Accelerate-Stifle Yourself, by Cairo Prince) O-Ken Ramsey. B-Estate of Harvey Clarke (Ky). T-Saffie Joseph Jr. J-Edgard Zayas. For the second consecutive race, she appeared poised to win in the GII Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf only to be run down late–and Crevalle d'Oro (below) was involved both times. Except for a couple of subpar efforts at Kentucky Downs, she's been steady on the grass. For those carrying on the racing legacy of the late owner-breeder Clarke, her pedigree is truly “All in the Family”: her female side traces back three generations to Clarke's mare Arch's Gal Edith, dam of Kentucky Derby winner I'll Have Another (Flower Alley). She was claimed from the Clarke family in late 2023 by Ken Ramsey.   4. CREVALLE D'ORO, GP, 1/24-10th, 1 1/16 miles BEYER SPEED FIGURE-93 (2nd) (m, 5, by Constitution-Sonoma d'Oro, by Medaglia d'Oro) O-TCC Stables and Michael and Jules Iavarone. B-Sandra Sexton (Ky). T-Jose D'Angelo. J-Jorge Ruiz. She has changed hands twice in her last five starts, most recently for $500k at the Keeneland November Horses of Racing Age Sale after a good fourth in Del Mar's tough GIII Goldikova Stakes. But her consistent form has been uninterrupted: her last three Beyers have been 91, 90 and now 93 from this Pegasus Filly & Mare runnerup finish. Her new owners are Michael and Jules Iavarone and their TCC (Triple Crown Capital) Stables.   3. DESTINO D'ORO, GP, 1/24-10th, 1 1/16 miles BEYER SPEED FIGURE- 94 (f, 4, by Bolt d'Oro-Heart of Destiny, by Lion Heart) O-Steve Landers Racing. B-Hurstland Farm and James Greene Jr (Ky). T-Brad Cox. J-Junior Alvarado. To say Destino d'Oro is a genetic overachiever is an understatement: out of 28 horses to race under the first three dams, she's the only stakes winner. But she's a good one. Achieved with her usual flying finish, the Pegasus Filly & Mare Turf victory was her fifth in eight starts for Arkansas owner Landers, who bought her as a 2-year-old at OBS April for $185,000.   2. STERLING SILVER, GP, 1/24-11th, 7 furlongs BEYER SPEED FIGURE- 95 (2nd) (m, 7, by Cupid-Sheet Humor, by Distorted Humor) O-Mark Anderson. B-Mallory and Karen Mort (NY). T-Anthony Margotta Jr. J-Javier Castellano. The 7-year-old New York-bred millionaire was a solid runner-up to Grand Job (below) in the GII Inside Information Stakes in what could be her swan song: she is scheduled to be bred to Gun Runner. Mark Anderson, who owns auto repair shops in Milwaukee, tapped into a gold mine when he picked her from a sales video during COVID and bought her for $13k. She not only brought in $1.36 million on the track, but because of her success the breeders sent dam Sheet Humor to Not This Time, and that foal turned out to be Grade I-winning turf miler Rhetorical. With Sterling Silver's value thus ratcheted up another notch, Anderson entered her in the Fasig-Tipton 'Night of the Stars' Sale Nov. 3 with a $990k reserve, and had no complaints when the bidding topped out at $975k.   Grand Job | Nicole Thomas 1. GRAND JOB, GP, 1/24-11th, 7 furlongs BEYER SPEED FIGURE-100 (m, 5, by Justify-Sure Route (GB), by Ishiguru) O-Bell Tower Thoroughbreds and Medallion Racing.  B-Fullbury (Ky). T-Bill Mott. J-Junior Alvarado. After looking every bit like a graded-stakes type in her first two U.S. starts, she sealed the deal with an emphatic Inside Information victory, the fourth score on the card for the prolific Mott-Alvarado tandem. Originally bought by Coolmore-adjacent owners for $105k–seemingly a bargain given Justify's $200k stud fee, even for a May foal–she was sent to Joseph O'Brien and purchased by her current partnership after three seconds in four starts in Ireland. Now the 5-year-old mare is worth much more than her original purchase price.   The post Five Fleet Fillies: January 19-25 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
