    • Live Oak Plantation's blue-blooded homebred Ultimate Love (Curlin) will put her perfect record on the line in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar Oct. 31. She will look to emulate Sharing (Speightstown), who followed a win in Laurel Park's Selima S. with a 13-1 upset at the 2019 Championships at Santa Anita. “I think she fits and hopefully she's a logical player to give it a try,” trainer Mike Trombetta said. Ultimate Love has won her first three career starts–all on grass–by a combined margin of 13 1/2 lengths, capped by a dominating performance while making her stakes debut in the Selima going 1 1/16 miles Sept. 27. The chestnut was a debut winner at Colonial July 24, then dominated five rivals with a career-best 81 Beyer Speed Figure in a first-level optional claimer at Laurel Sept. 5. “There's only so many places to run these young fillies,” Trombetta said. “(The Selima) was perfect for us. I was a little nervous because it was back in like three weeks and a day or two, but she handled it well.” The daughter of leading sire Curlin was produced by Tsunami of Love (Bernardini), a daughter of GI Diana S. heroine My Typhoon (Ire) (Giant's Causeway). Ultimate Love's third dam is the 1993 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner and bluehen mare Urban Sea (Miswaki), who has produced heavyweights Galileo (Ire), Sea the Stars (Ire), et al. “Originally, I wasn't sure whether she was dirt or turf,” Trombetta said. “When we started pressing her a little bit on the dirt, I wasn't real impressed by what I was seeing. We moved her over to the synthetic (at Fair Hill) and she worked really well. So, I figured, you know what? I'll run her long on the turf first time and see what we get. She was good enough to win. She's just zipped through some conditions really quickly. Obviously, everything gets tougher from here, but she's done really well.” Ultimate Love has breezed twice since her win in the Selima, most recently covering five furlongs in 1:01.80 (10/19) over the all-weather at Fair Hill Oct. 18. “She's training well,” Trombetta said. “Hopefully she fits and she can handle all the travel and everything and give it a good run.” He added, “The plane leaves out of Newark, New Jersey, on the 26th. So, if her final work on Saturday is good, we'll put her on a plane Sunday.” Trombetta added that Hall of Famer John Velazquez has been booked to ride.

    • Popular Maryland-bred and MGSW & MGISP Post Time (Frosted–Vielsalm, by Fairbanks) will stand his first season at Northview Stallion Station in Chesapeake City, MD., in 2026 for $4,000 live foal, payable when the foal stands and nurses. An earner of nearly $1.5 million and a stakes winner every year from seasons two to five, Post Time was campaigned by Hillwood Stable LLC (Ellen Charles) and trained by Brittany Russell. He was bred by Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Bowman, Dr. Brooke Bowman and Milton P. Higgins III. “Post Time is a true throwback racehorse,” Russell said. “He was immensely talented from the start, but what made him special was his durability and will to compete. As precocious as he was at two, he just kept getting better–each year stronger, tougher, and more professional. He faced top-class competition in graded stakes and even the Breeders' Cup yet always showed up. He's the kind of horse every trainer dreams of–sound, genuine, and full of personality.” Charles added, “Post Time was a joy to own from the start–a beautiful, kind horse with immense talent. To see him come home to Maryland and stand at Northview, where so many great stallions have launched their careers, is tremendously gratifying. I hope Maryland breeders will support him the way he supported us every time he ran.” David Wade, General Manager of Northview, said, “Post Time represents everything we look for in a stallion prospect. He's sound, fast, correct, and from a family of solid runners. On the track he broke his maiden going 5 1/2 furlongs at two and went on to win eight of his first nine starts. He didn't dodge any horses, ran a very impressive second in the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile, and won stakes up to 1 1/8 miles. I always judge a horse by who they beat and he has finished ahead Domestic Product, White Abarrio, National Treasure, Muth, and Seize the Grey to name a few. We're thrilled to keep him in Maryland and offer him at a fee that presents incredible value to our clients.” The post Post Time to Northview for 2026 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
