Trueshan, one of the most popular stayers of the modern era, suffered a fatal injury in the Goodwood Cup that was won by Scandinavia. Alan King's stable star was running in the race for a fourth time, having won the Group 1 contest in 2021, and the nine-year-old was taking part in his 35th race all told. However, he was pulled up by regular rider Hollie Doyle at about halfway after suffering what was later revealed to be a fatal injury. James Given, the British Horseracing Authority's director of equine welfare, told ITV Racing, “I want to express my sincere condolences to all the connections and anyone associated with the horse, no one is going to feel this more than them. He's been a stalwart, he's been a firm friend, he's been everything to them “What has happened unfortunately is just an accident, mid-race, in a straight line going up a hill. His left-hind pastern broke and left him in a situation that wasn't recoverable from. Alan was able to get down there and assess him with the vet and they felt there was no option really but to put him down.” A 16-time winner, three of them coming at Group 1 level, Trueshan had attracted a following that is unusual for a Flat horse due to his longevity. In 2022 he dropped into handicap company to defy one of the highest marks in recent times when winning the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle. He struck up a famous partnership with Doyle, who rode him to 11 of his victories, including three successive triumphs in the Long Distance Cup at Ascot on British Champions Day.

NOBLE CONFESSOR, SAR, 7/24, 1 3/16 miles (turf) (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 83 (c, 3, by Quality Road–Sweeter Than Wine, by Noble Mission {GB}) O/B-St Elias Stable. T-Todd Pletcher. J-Irad Ortiz Jr. Prior to his Wednesday wire-to-wire victory on the stretch-out to 9 1/2 furlongs, the Vinny Viola product was a six-race maiden despite losing to Zulu Kingdom by a neck in last September's Grade II Pilgrim Stakes (and blowing past on the gallop-out) then finishing 6th while beaten 2 1/4 lengths in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (the third-best finish by a North American-based runner). TOMMY JO, SAR, 7/26, 6 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 85 (f, 2, by Into Mischief–Mother Mother, by Pioneerof the Nile) O/B-Spendthrift Farm (Ky). T-Todd Pletcher. J-John Velazquez. Definitely the most impressive of Pletcher's five 2-year-old first-timers to win at Saratoga thus far in 2025. Tommy Jo dropped 5 lengths back in the opening furlong while collecting her thoughts, and then blew past the competition. The second foal to race for Mother Mother, who won two ungraded stakes for Bob Baffert but was 2nd or 3rd in three Grade I's. CIVIL LIBERTY, DMR, 7/26, 5 1/2 furlongs (2nd) (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-87 (c, 2, by Independence Hall–Love and Respect, by Tiznow) O-Mark Davis and Great Friends Stables. B-St. Simon Place (Ky). T-Chief Stipe O'Neill. J-Antonio Fresu. Bet down to 5-1 for his debut after a string of quick breezes, Civil Liberty had the misfortune of running into a buzzsaw named Brant–but more than held his own with a encouraging runnerup finish. He set fast early fractions under pressure, and still checked in 3 1/2 lengths ahead of the rest of the field. USHA, DMR, 7/27, 6 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 95 (f, 3, by Tiz the Law–Animal Appeal, by Leroidesanimaux {Brz}) O-Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman. B-Elser and Raine (NY). T-Bob Baffert. J-Juan Hernandez. It would be easy to say this came out of nowhere, with her four previous starts topping out at 67 on the Beyer Speed Figure scale. However, she debuted at 2-5 against Proud Starlet and Thought Process exactly one year earlier then was 7-10 next out versus stablemate Tenma. Usha was always highly regarded, and after nine months on the sidelines she reemerged with a vengeance–and paid $11.80 after an 11 1/2-length romp. BRANT, DMR, 7/26, 5 1/2 furlongs (1st) (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 101 (c, 2, by Gun Runner–Tynan, by Liam's Map) O-Zedan Racing Stables. B-PTK (Ky). T-Bob Baffert. J-Flavien Prat. Zedan and agent Donato Lanni shattered the OBS record in March by going to $3 million to bring home this colt after he drilled a furlong in 9 3/5 seconds. The steel-gray Brant rolled past Civil Liberty for a 5 1/4-length score at first asking, and his Beyer was the fastest for a 2-year-old debut since fellow Baffert trainees Speed Boat Beach (104) and Cave Rock (101) at the 2022 Del Mar meet. Zedan named him to honor his friend Peter Brant, a longtime owner who shares his enthusiasm for horse racing, polo, and fine art.

Amo Racing's Ancient Egypt (Frankel) had already caused a stir when knocked down for 1,100,000gns at last year's Tattersalls October Book 1 sale and he made a winning debut for the Charlie Johnston stable in Tuesday's EBF Novice Stakes at Beverley. Stalking the tempo in second through the halfway mark of the extended seven-furlong contest, the 8-11 favourite inched ahead passing the furlong pole and was ridden out to deny the rallying pacesetter Jeddaal (Lope De Vega) by a half-length.

Former WinStar stallion Congrats (A.P. Indy–Praise, by Mr. Prospector) passed away Monday at the age of 25. The news was confirmed by Scott Kintz who heads Six K's Training & Sales at Florida's Woodford Thoroughbreds where the pensioned stallion retired in 2021. A GSW/MGISP son of A.P. Indy, Congrats won the 2005 GII San Pasqual Handicap and earned placings in the GI Santa Anita Handicap and the GI Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap while also finishing fifth behind Roses In May (Devil His Due) in the 2005 G1 Emirates Airline Dubai World Cup. Through a career spanning four years, Congrats earned just shy of seven figures for owner Cloverleaf Farm and trainer Kathleen O'Connell. Retired to stud in 2007, he initially stood at Cloverleaf's Florida base before moving to Vinery Stud from 2008-12 and eventually winding up at WinStar in 2013 where he stood the bulk of his career before his pensioning to Woodford, formally the site of Cloverleaf Farm, in October 2021. Always a consistent source of winners, Congrats sired 1,552 runners of which 1,293 started and 932 found the winner's circle. His leading progeny include Grade I winners Turbulent Descent, Haveyougoneaway, Emma's Encore and Wickedly Perfect. Notably, as a broodmare sire, daughters of Congrats have produced the likes of Japan's Forever Young (Jpn) (Reel Steel {Jpn}) and Danon Decile (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}).

In a renewal of the G1 Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup marred by an injury sustained by the veteran stayer Trueshan (Planteur), Ballydoyle finished on top with the one-two led home by the three-year-old Scandinavia (Justify). Advantaged by the weight-for-age allowance gained from stablemate Illinois (Galileo), the homebred who had burst onto the scene with an 8 1/2-length success in Newmarket's G3 Bahrain Trophy earlier this month edged out the year-older 7-4 favourite in the last half furlong for a 3/4-of-a-length verdict under Wayne Lordan.
