Fresh off a game effort to win the G2 Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster, Santorini Star (Golden Horn) will target the G1 Prix de Royallieu on Arc weekend, revealed co-owner Tony Bloom's racing manager Sean Graham. The Bloom and Ian McAleavy runner is searching for a first Group 1 triumph and will be routed accordingly. A consistent sort with six wins from 10 lifetime starts, the William Haggas trainee won a Goodwood handicap in May before running fourth in the Listed Pontefract Castle Fillies' Stakes in June and she filled that spot again in the G3 Stanerra Stakes at Fairyhouse a month later. Back on track over a 2m 1/2f handicap at York in August, she withstood the prolonged challenge of Consent (Lope De Vega) in the Park Hill. “Her next race will be the Prix de Royallieu, which is a mile and six on the Saturday of Arc weekend,” Graham said. “I'd say that is probably her last run this year as well. “I suppose she will be brought back next year with the view of trying to win a Group 1. The Prix de Royallieu is a Group 1, but even if she wins that, she'll still be back next year. That's because she didn't run until the October of her three-year-old career, so she's pretty lightly raced and she's open to plenty of improvement. The programme for staying fillies is quite good and there's plenty of opportunity to pick up more black type.” Regarding next year's campaign, he added, “Even races like the Irish St Leger might be on the radar as that's a mile and six. I don't think we will pigeon hole her and just run her at a mile and six because there's probably not enough races at that distance, so she will have races at two miles as well.” The post Park Hill Star Bound For The Royallieu appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Don't you think those issues could at least be mitigated with a new contemporary irrigation system (though let's see if they've managed to get that right at Riccarton or not), and an appropriate aeration and renovation programme? -

I met Stuart in 1994 when we worked together for Ben P. Walden Jr. at Vinery. Stuart was the broodmare manager, and I was selling seasons to the Vinery stallions. Stuart managed the 150-plus broodmare band which encompassed multiple farms. Stuart was also a farrier; he trimmed all the broodmares which added another layer of responsibility. I quickly learned that Stuart was a tireless hard worker with these responsibilities. Over the years I followed Stuart's professional journey to Watercress, Payson Stud and Taylor Made admiring his accomplishments along the way. Stuart was a mentor to a lot of our young people in our industry as we have read this week. He was also a mentor to someone older. I would call Stuart and get his opinion on a value of a broodmare or a stallion for a mating. He was always willing to help and gave great advice. He never asked for anything in return and was always your biggest cheerleader to succeed. This fall, when Stuart started treatments for his illness, he did it his way. When he started the clinical trial at Sarah Cannon Research Institute, he approached it like he did everything in his life. He worked hard to gather all the information he could about the treatment so he would better understand what was before him. He was determined to beat the odds. He wanted to spend as much time as he could with Drew, Alexa and his two grandchildren whom he dearly loved. He never complained, he never said “Why me”, he just buckled down and went to work to beat the odds. It was a sad day when I received the call from Josie telling me that Stuart had passed. I shed more than a few tears because I had lost a dear friend. Stuart touched a lot of lives and made an impact on our industry and life. To honor Stuart's legacy, we should take a page out of his handbook, mentor others, be respectful, smile, laugh, enjoy good food and life. Remember to live the day we are in as there is no guarantee for tomorrow. I love you, brother.

In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This week's column is highlighted by the victory of Notable Speech at Woodbine. Dubawi Classic Winner Shines At Woodbine Godolphin homebred Notable Speech arrived late on the scene to take the GI Rogers Woodbine Mile for Charlie Appleby on September 13 (video). The son of Dubawi won the G1 2,000 Guineas last year and defeated older milers in the G1 Sussex Stakes. He is a son of the group-placed Swift Rose (Invincible Spirit), herself a half-sister to Group 3 winner Desert Wisdom (Dubawi) and to Frankel's GI Natalma Stakes winner Wild Beauty. He has a half-sister to come in juvenile Moonlit Rose (Pinatubo) and a yearling full-sister. Darley's Dubawi has sired 47 winners from 90 runners (52%) in the U.S. and Canada. Notable Speech is his 26th stakes winner and 11th Grade I winner to strike there. Besilu Homebred Graduates In New York Besilu Stables' Noble Dynasty (Kingman) graduated at second asking during the Belmont at the Big A meeting on Saturday (video). Trained by Bill Mott, the homebred juvenile colt is out of Delta's Royalty (Galileo). Second on debut, the maternal grandson of triple Eclipse Award earner Royal Delta (Empire Maker) is a half-brother to the yearling filly Royal Victoria (Into Mischief) and a weanling filly by Gun Runner. Royal Delta, a GI Breeders' Cup Distaff winner, was acquired by Ben Leon's Besilu Stables for $8.5 million to top the 2011 Keeneland November Sale. Delta's Royalty is the only foal out of her champion dam, who died from foaling complications after producing her. Juddmonte's Kingman counts Noble Dynasty as his 49th winner from 84 to race in North America (58%). Domestic Spending is his best there, with a tally in the GI Manhattan Stakes, and he is supported by eight additional stakes winners. Repeat Winners No Show Sammy Jo (Lope De Vega) is now a two-time winner of Laurel Park's All Along Stakes after her victory on September 13 (video). Racing for Bridlewood Farm and Madaket Stables, the five-year-old mare–second in the 2024 GIII Long Island Stakes–is trained by Graham Motion.
