It was a tough day for the G1 Saudi Cup. Within hours of the breaking news that 2024 3-year-old male champion Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) will not run in the G1 Saudi Cup at King Abdulaziz Racetrack in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Feb. 22, the $20-million race lost another star when the owners of White Abarrio (Race Day) announced that they had also decided to keep their 6-year-old home and focus on a U.S. campaign. “We are going to bypass Saudi,” co-owner Mark Cornett said. “We will stay here and campaign him here. All the stars just weren't lining up with the timing and shipping and all that stuff. We're going to try to do what's best by the horse and stay here and have a nice campaign to end his career here.” Complicating matters is the fact that White Abarrio is co-owned by Saudi Prince Faisal bin Khaled bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud. “All along it was probably 50-50,” said Cornett, whose brother Clint is another co-owner. “We had to factor in that Prince Faisal also owns a piece of the horse and that he is from Saudi Arabia. At the end of the day we decided we had to do what's best for the horse and campaign him over here and have his last few races in the U.S.” Cornett said that White Abarrio will make his next start in the March 29 GIII Ghostzapper Stakes at Gulfstream, which will serve as a prep for the June 7 GI Metropolitan Handicap at Saratoga. Cornett said other races that will be considered will be the GI Whitney, the GI California Crown and the GI Breeders' Cup Classic. While White Abarrio, who is trained by Saffie Joseph, Jr., doesn't show up every time, when he does there may not be a dirt horse on the planet that can beat him. After a lackluster performance when finishing second in GIII Mr. Prospector Stakes, he ran what may have been the best race of his life when winning the Jan. 25 GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream by 6 1/4 lengths in what was expected to be a prep for the Saudi Cup. Trained by Rick Dutrow at the time, White Abarrio was 10th in last year's Saudi Cup. Though White Abarrio is out of the Saudi Cup, the Cornett brothers may still have an entry. They are hoping to get Soul of an Angel (Atreides) into the race, but have been told that at this point she tops the list of the horses on the also-eligible list. The 2024 Champion Filly or Mare Sprinter, she won last year's GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint before finishing third in the Rampart Stakes at Gulfstream. “With White Abarrio dropping out we're still hoping to get Soul of an Angel into the race,” Cornett said. “She's been moved up to the first alternate. That a Breeders' Cup winner is not yet part of the field for the race, well, you can kind of read between the lines there. They have horses weighted way below her but ahead of us so far as getting into the race goes. So I don't really understand their system.” The post White Abarrio Will Also Pass Saudi Cup appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Longtime owner and former Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association Vice president Larry Johnson died Feb. 4. He was 78. Founder of Legacy Farm in Bluemont, Virginia, his horses amassed $17.6 million in purse money from 3,132 starts. His most successful year came in 2024 when he had 25 wins and $1.6 million in earnings. On the Aug. 31 Commonwealth Champions Day card at Colonial Downs, Johnson had two stakes wins–Hollywood Walk in the Camptown Stakes and Bert Allen Stakes winner Sky's Not Falling. He was also an active Board member of the Virginia Thoroughbred Association. “We are deeply saddened to share the passing of R. Larry Johnson, an incredibly dedicated horseman and former MTHA Vice President,” read a MTHA post on Facebook Wednesday. “Larry was a passionate advocate for the Maryland racing industry, a committed breeder and owner, and a steadfast voice for the industry. His leadership, vision, and tireless efforts helped shape the future of Thoroughbred racing in our state. His contributions will not be forgotten, and his impact will continue to be felt throughout the Maryland racing community.” “We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Larry.” The post Longtime Owner Larry Johnson Passes Away at 78 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
