Bobby Cline's R.C. Cline Thoroughbred Farm in Ohio where he now stands three stallions, boards a broodmare band and maintains his role as an active trainer, has acquired Higher Power (by Medaglia d'Oro) from Darby Dan Farm in Kentucky, according to a press release from the Ohio operation on Friday. While standing at Darby Dan, Higher Power has four crops and 211 foals. Out of a 160 foals of racing age and 35 lifetime winners, the stallion claims 67 current 2-year-olds. As far as Higher Power's racing career is concerned, he captured the GI TVG Pacific Classic and finished third in the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Classic in 2019. Owned by Hronis Racing and trained by John Sadler, the bay will be the only top-level winner standing in Ohio. “He brings a whole lot of credentials to the state and should help the accredited program a lot,” said Cline, who has operated the farm in Orient, Ohio for 35 years. “He looks like a Medaglia d'Oro colt the way he's built–nice and stocky. “What I really like about him is that he seems to have a really good mind, good temperament,” he said. “I've got a couple of babies of his that I train, they're pretty sensible and I believe he passes that on.” Medaglia d'Oro's most successful offspring include the likes of Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra and dual champion filly Songbird. The recently-retired Darley sire also has on his resume Good Cheer, Nitrogen, Bolt d'Oro, Plum Pretty and Violence, just to name a few. The female family of the newly-minted Ohio-based sire was a product of Kentucky's Pin Oak breeding program. Higher Power's dam Alternate (Seattle Slew), who passed away in 2022, produced MGSW Alternation (by Distorted Humor)–the sire of GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Serengeti Empress and MSW Interrupted. Alternate is a half-sister to Canadian Horse of the Year and leading Canadian sire, Peaks and Valleys (by Mt. Livermore). Higher Power's extended dam-side includes champion grass mare Forever Together (Belong to Me), and MGSW sires Mucho Gusto (by Mucho Macho Man) and Broken Vow (by Unbridled). Cline's new stallion will stand for $2,000 LFSN and inquiries can be made by calling, (614) 877-2236.

There appears to be something for everyone–pari-mutelly speaking–in Saturday's GIII Commonwealth Turf Stakes, the final age-restricted contest on the grass on the Kentucky circuit for 2025. Donamire Farm's GI Franklin-Simpson Stakes hero Troubleshooting led home a top-four sweep for the outstanding Not This Time when last seen in the GIII Bryan Station Stakes at Keeneland back on Oct. 25, and he looms the one they'll have to beat at or around his 7-2 morning line. Placed once from three tries on the dirt to begin his career, he has conversely missed the trifecta just a single time in seven starts on the turf. The homebred took out the July 4 Dade Park Dash at Ellis and was just touched off in allowance company in Henderson Aug. 4 ahead of his heroics at Kentucky Downs. Giocoso (Not This Time) saw off Simulate (Blame) in the GII Secretariat Stakes at Colonial in August and led the field into the final furlong of the Sept. 6 Gun Runner Stakes at Kentucky Downs before settling for second behind Plensa (Caravaggio). The dark bay exits a troubled third in the Bryan Station. Montadore (Nyquist) would otherwise be three for four on the grass but for a disqualification in his turf bow in Virginia July 24 and he annexed his lone appearance over the Matt Winn, taking a nine-furlong allowance by two lengths just shy of three weeks ago. Mansetti (Collected) upset the Aug. 16 King's Plate and just missed in the Sept. 9 Prince of Wales Stakes before finishing runner-up in the GIII Ontario Derby Oct. 18. There is enough turf in his female family to give this a shot, but the flow of the race may not suit. If seeking out a longer-priced alternative or two, Three Diamonds Farm Anegada (Midshipman) endured a checkered passage when fourth, two lengths adrift in the Secretariat and there were clear issues in the Gun Runner. The gelding bounced back in no uncertain terms in the Oct. 5 Hawthorne Derby, benefitting from a truly run race to score by a half-length. Outrunner (American Pharoah) hasn't really run a bad race in five starts on the turf, including a runner-up effort in the Tale of the Cat Stakes in June, and was most recently third to Grade I winner World Beater (Oscar Performance) in the GIII Old Dominion Derby at Colonial Sept. 6. A distant seventh in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic, Pegram, Watson and Weitman's Nevada Beach (Omaha Beach) looks to have four other rivals over a barrel in Saturday's GIII Native Diver Stakes at Del Mar. The open-lengths winner of the Los Alamitos Derby in June and of the GI Goodwood Stakes Sept. 27, the dark bay is the 3-5 morning-line choice ahead of Indispensable (Constitution), fourth in the GI Pacific Classic here in August and a latest third in the GIII Ack Ack Stakes going Churchill's one-turn mile Sept. 27. The final of the weekend's three graded events is Sunday's rescheduled GIII Pebbles Stakes at Aqueduct. Fast Market (Volatile) required no fewer than nine starts to win her maiden, doing so with some authority when reporting home a 2 1/4-length winner going a mile here Sept. 21. Stepped up in class for the GII Sands Point Stakes Oct. 18, the $350,000 OBS June graduate nearly got the job done and she has the benefit of the rail and Flavien Prat this time around. Twirling Candy was represented by GIII Jockey Club Oaks heroine Fionn just last weekend and has a good chance for a new graded winner in the form of Sweet Treasure. Fifth when first-up for nearly 11 months in Churchill allowance company Sept. 27, she stripped fitter when kicking away to score by two lengths beneath the Twin Spires on Halloween. Florent Geroux will need to work out a trip from an outside draw.
