Resolute Racing's Village Voice (GB) (Zarak {Fr}) completed her first breeze back on Sunday since winning the Oct. 5 GIII Waya at Belmont at the Big A as she prepares for the GI Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf Nov. 1 at Del Mar. Trained by Chad Brown, the 5-year-old breezed a half-mile in :50.16 seconds in company with Alimara (Fr) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}) over the Oklahoma training turf at Saratoga. “Just a little maintenance half on the turf,” said Brown. “I thought she was moving really well. Her first work back since her win. I thought it was just what we were looking for. She'll have one more work next week and then head out to take a shot at the Breeders' Cup.” Village Voice, a 1,300,000 gns purchase at the 2024 Tattersalls December Mare Sale. made her first start for Brown off a nearly one-year layoff in the 11-furlong Waya. “I expected her to run well. I knew the layoff was going to be something for her to overcome. I was quite impressed that off nearly a year, she was able to have that kick and beat a field of horses that were fit and in form,” Brown said. “I was very pleased to see it, I wasn't surprised. She was training well, I just needed to see her do it off a layoff, which was a big ask and she came through. She could be a top-class filly.” Brown is a four-time Filly and Mare Turf-winning trainer. “It's very challenging,” Brown said. “I find that race, because again it is a three-turn race, a lot of it depends on who is coming over. The American horses, generally those aren't our best horses going that far, going that distance. The way I look at it is, if she's a Grade II, Grade III filly right now, I think she can be a Grade I horse. But that's what all of the American horses are, so she clearly fits with the American horses.” Village Voice made 12 prior starts overseas for conditioner Jessica Harrington, earning four wins and four group placings, including victories in the 1 1/2-mile Listed Prix des Tourelles last September at Saint-Cloud and the Group 3 Prix de Flore going 1 5/16 miles in October 2023 there.

The G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1,000 Guineas) winner Embroidery rediscovered her best form at Kyoto on Sunday to capture the G1 Shuka Sho, the final leg of the Japanese Triple Tiara. Trained by Kazutomo Mori, Embroidery endured a wide trip in mid-division through the early stages of this 2,000-metre contest, before making swift progress at around halfway to race in a clear second behind the freewheeling Erika Express (Epiphaneia). Soon taking dead aim at the long-time leader, the daughter of Admire Mars found a smart change of gear in the closing stages to collar that rival and get the verdict by half a length, with another three quarters of a length back to the staying-on Paradis Reine (Kizuna) in third. Race favourite Kamunyak (Black Tide), who took advantage of a below-par showing from Embroidery when winning the second leg of the Japanese Triple Tiara, the G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks), was never a factor on this occasion and trailed home 16th of the 18 runners. “I had every faith in the filly that she would deliver today, since the Oaks didn't suit her distance-wise,” said jockey Christophe Lemaire as he celebrated a record fourth victory in the Shuka Sho after those of Deirdre (2017), Almond Eye (2018) and Cervinia (2024). “She was calm and relaxed in the first half of the race and, while the pace slowed down in the backstretch, we were able to advance to a better position. It took a while for her engine to get started, but she showed an incredible turn of foot in the last 200 metres and I'm very happy we were able to notch the Group 1 title today.” Prior to winning April's Oka Sho, Embroidery returned this season with a first Group success in the G3 Queen Cup, having registered two wins and a second from four starts as a two-year-old. In the Oka Sho she defeated Arma Veloce (Harbinger) – a notable absentee from the Shuka Sho due to injury – by a neck, before finishing only ninth when sent off favourite for the Yushun Himba. Pedigree Notes Embroidery is one of two winners from as many runners out of the Kurofune mare Rottenmeier (Kurofune), who contested the Queen Cup herself when finishing third in 2016, before winning a Listed race at Hanshin on her next start. Embroidery's third dam is the Japanese champion two-year-old filly Biwa Heidi (Caerleon), whose notable progeny include the Japanese Horse of the Year Buena Vista (Special Week); Japanese champion two-year-old filly Joie de Vivre (Deep Impact); G2 Kyoto Kinen winner and sire Admire Aura; G3 Epsom Cup hero and sire Tosen Reve; Listed-winning sire Admire Japan; and G2 Flora Stakes heroine Sang Real (Zenno Rob Roy).

Graded stakes winners Bring Theband Home (Into Mischief) and Final Accord (War of Will) posted their final works for trainer Mark Casse over Belmont's training track on Sunday in preparation for this year's Breeders' Cup World Championships at Del Mar. Bring Theband Home, winner of the GII Troy Stakes at Saratoga this summer, will run in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint while GIII Matron scorer Final Accord is expected to run in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. “We thought they both went really well, and we're excited,” Casse said. “I expect both of them to run very big in California.” Live Oak Plantation's homebred Bring Theband Home was caught by NYRA clockers covering a half-mile in :47.11 in his first work back since finishing seventh in the Oct. 4 GII Nearctic at Woodbine. “Bring Theband Home kind of threw a clunker at Woodbine, and it was a head-scratcher for us, so we brought him back to New York where he likes it, and he worked like his old self this morning,” Casse said. “He trained so-so into his last race, which is not like him. We ran him and Javier [Castellano] said he just wasn't himself. We got him out of there as soon as possible and this morning, he was a fire plug. He was on his game.” Gary Barber and Peter Deutsch's juvenile filly Final Accord covered a half-mile in :47.63, according to NYRA clockers. “She went around there and worked well, and she always shows that she's a little special,” Casse said. “She's 2-for-2 and has done everything right. I think she has a real big future. My only regret is that she hasn't had a two-turn race, but I think the added distance is absolutely going to help her–you saw that in her win in the Matron with how she came running late. The mile will be perfect for her.” Casse noted that both Final Accord and Bring Theband Home are slated to ship to California on Saturday, and that their Belmont breezes were their final works before the Breeders' Cup. In addition to his two turf stars, Casse will send out one of the top contenders in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff with D.J. Stable's GISW sophomore Nitrogen (Medaglia d'Oro), last seen finishing a head second to Gin Gin in the GI Spinster Oct. 5 at Keeneland. Casse said he was “extremely pleased” with Nitrogen's effort, which came on the heels of a 1 1/2-length victory in Saratoga's GI Alabama Aug. 16. “She's doing great,” he said. “Things didn't go exactly as planned, and we would have liked to have won, but I was just looking at her record in her last eight starts, and she's only a head and a nose from being undefeated this year,” Casse said, alluding to the Spinster and her nose second to Fionn in the Grade 1 Belmont Oaks Invitational on turf in June at the Spa. “It's been against nothing but the best of her company.” Casse added that Nitrogen is expected to breeze on Wednesday or Thursday at Churchill Downs before shipping to California on Sunday.
