    • yes that lee stable has a couple of really good short course trotters. i watched leap to fame win last night.Simply much too good.you would have enjoyed that gamma. kingman hung terribly throughout and really did well to hang in there until the last bit although laep to fame well clear from the rest.. kingman really needs to be in front and on the inside dictating his own line as he simply couldn't beat a champ like leap to fame hanging like he did.He did hang when he won the nz cup,but last night he was much worse.
    • i would much prefer kiwis to be in charge. The aussies seem to be so short term focused and happy to prioritise the influential sectors of the industry at the expense of the grass roots and the overall industries long term well being. just a receipe that will lead to significant stake cuts. but maybe that explains things. These aussies come over hear,the only ones they really know or spend a lot of time interacting with are the big players who of course will push whats best for themselves.So in  a way,it sort of explains why the likes of mr peden and mr steele prioritise the sectors they do and seem out of touch with what so many think. aussies aye.  bring back the kiwis to those positions before its too late.
    • 7th-GP, $84K, Msw, 3yo, 1m, 3:21 p.m. ET. The full-brother of champion 3-year-old filly Nest (Curlin) makes the races under same trainer Todd Pletcher. SPARTACUS dam Marion Ravenwood (A.P. Indy) was a $2.6-million purchase by M.V. Magnier at the 2022 Keeneland November Sale while the first-time starter was in utero. Her other progeny includes GI 'Big Cap' victor Idol (Curlin) and MSW Lost Ark (Violence).     , Canaletto (Into Mischief) makes his first start after going for an even million at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale. Sent to trainer Chad Brown, the colt is a half-brother to GI Arkansas Derby champ Sandman (Tapit) and $1.1-million buy for John Sikura at the 2024 Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale, She Can't Sing (Bernardini). Canaletto's dam Distorted Music (Distorted Humor)–who went through the same Fasig-Tipton auction ring in 2024 and was taken home for $375,000 by Springhouse Farm–is herself a half-sister to GSP Zinzay (Smart Strike), the dam of SW Moon Over Miami (Malibu Moon). The Brown trainee's extended female family includes GSW Whiskey Decision (Into Mischief), plus MGISW Music Note (A.P. Indy) who foaled current sire Mystic Guide (Ghostzapper). The strong pedigree ties continue with Hickman Creek (Constitution). The Juddmonte homebred, who is trained by Brad Cox, is a half-brother to G1 Dubai World Cup hero Laurel River (Into Mischief), and his dam is a full-sister to MGISW Emollient (Empire Maker) and a half to GI Florida Derby champ Hofburg (Tapit).

    • Speed Shopper (Quality Road) made her first start at Gulfstream Park a winning one as she rolled home late to take the inaugural running of the GIII Christophe Clement Stakes on Pegasus World Cup Day. Breaking her maiden last season at Saratoga in her third start coming off a layoff of over a year, the Will Walden trainee steadily improved on paper and missed winning the GII Rodeo Drive Stakes two back Oct. 4 at Santa Anita. She resurfaced at Turfway Park Dec. 20 in the Florence Stakes to win by a half-length over Ayra Stark (Arg) (Cosmic Trigger), who returned here for this contest. The field was in no rush through the early fractions as Speed Shopper enjoyed a ground saving trip along the fence for most of the running behind a half-mile split in :50.20 and six panels in 1:15.05. Turning for home with Ayra Stark to catch as she bravely tried to turn back challengers, Speed Shopper quickly overtook her by midstretch to win well. That longtime leader held on for second over an equally game Weighted Average (English Channel). The final time for the mile and a half trip was 2:26.76. Sales history: $430,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP; $95,000 RNA HRA '24 KEENOV. O-Barber, Gary, Bridlewood Farm and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners; B-AR Enterprises, LLC & Edward Easton (KY); T-Will Walden.   The post Speed Shopper Rolls Late to Claim Inaugural Running of Christophe Clement appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Swing Vote (Constitution) went off as the favorite on debut in Hallandale Dec. 28. The late juvenile was slow out of the blocks and on hold approaching the stretch, but she offered a determined run at the rail and a strong gallop out after finishing third. Serving as the chalk once again here, the 9-5 choice raced behind the speed in the two path as a scramble ensued on the engine up the backstretch. The filly moved right past the 'Insighted' Beneficence (Into Mischief) around the far turn and began to target a trio of leaders before the top of the lane. Spoiling for a fight, the 3-year-old collared Sippin Pretty (Yaupon) inside the final sixteenth and turned the maiden bill into law for herself. Beneficence finished seventh. The second foal for her dam, the winner has a 2-year-old full-sister named Fifth and Walnut, who went to Mainline Racing/Avalong Racing for $275,000 during Keeneland September, and a yearling half-brother by Curlin. A half-sister to the dam of SW La Ville Lumiere (City of Light), Fast Scene was bred to Justify for this term. Out of an extended female family which includes GI Kentucky Derby hero Monarchos (Maria's Mon), Swing Vote's second dam is a full-sister to SW Supreme (Empire Maker), herself the dam of current sire Silver State (Hard Spun). 2nd-Gulfstream, $68,000, Msw, 1-24, 3yo, f, 6f, 1:09.84, ft, 1 length. SWING VOTE (f, 3, Constitution–Fast Scene {MSW-Can, SP-USA, $145,926}, by Fast Anna Sales History: $275,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $45,200.
