    • Fourth most recently in the GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes at Keeneland, FIONN (f, 3, Twirling Candy–Gaelic Gold, by Giant's Causeway) turned on the tables on that race's runner up, Laurelin (Ire) (Zarak {Fr}) to win Saturday's GIII Jockey Club Oaks at Aqueduct. Going three turns on the grass, the 7-5 second choice was quickly shuffled back to last after the break and rated just in behind her rival as longshot Don't Jinx It (Kitten's Joy) handled the pacemaking. The two rivals remained near the back of the field but Fionn was clearly staying just in Laurelin's tracks and, as the even-money favorite made her move around the far turn, Fionn wasn't far behind. With less than a furlong to run, the favorite made the front but Flavien Prat had Fionn rolling down the outside and just got up close to home to win. The final time for 1 3/8 miles was 2:17.22. Lifetime Record: 10-7-1-1. O-Messina, George and Lee, Michael; B-Dixiana Farms, LLC; T-Brad H. Cox. Sales History: $75,000 ylg '23 KEESEP.   The post Fionn Gets Past Laurelin Late To Take Jockey Club Oaks appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • 1st-Woodbine, C$90,133, Msw, 11-15, 2yo, f, 7f (AWT), 1:25.72, ft, 1 1/4 lengths. LIKELY STORY (f, 2, Charlatan–Caren {Horse of the Year, Ch. 3yo Filly & GSW-Can, $821,790}, by Society's Chairman) found some trouble at midstretch of her five-furlong debut over the local turf course Oct. 18, having to alter course and losing her momentum en route to a fifth-place finish. The lesser-preferred of the two entries in the race for her sire (by Speightstown) behind drifting favorite Beautiful Things, the $260,000 KEESEP yearling was content to bide her time near the tail as the chalk tried to make all the running. Still with some work to do approaching the stretch, but always traveling strongly, Likely Story began to pick her way through horses, switched out, idled for a stride or two and then went on to seal the deal comfortably. Fleury (Practical Joke) was second, while Beautiful Things–who eased out to 17-10 after touching even-money late in the wagering–faded to finish fifth. On the heels of a debut score overnight at Kyoto from Princess Moko, Likely Story is the 13th winner from the first crop of Charlatan. A half-sister to Curlin Candy (Curlin), SP, $196,864, the winner is out of a half-sister to GSW Jill Robin L (Precocity). Horse of the Year Caren is also represented by a yearling colt by Nyquist and is due to Cogburn for 2026. Sales history: $260,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $40,698.

    • Off a six-month layoff, 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' SHRED THE GNAR (f, 3, Into Mischief–Aspen Light, by Bernardini) showed no signs of fatigue in a gate-to-wire win in Saturday's GIII Chilukki Stakes at Churchill Downs. Unraced since winning in similarly-impressive fashion going 1 1/16-miles under the Twin Spires on Kentucky Oaks Day May 2, the lightly-raced daughter of Into Mischief stepped into stakes company for the first time Saturday. On the lead with race favorite One Magic Philly (Good Magic) dogging her throughout, Shred the Gnar finally shook that rival off nearing the quarter pole and had no late pressure from the rest of the field with only fellow 'Rising Star' Ragtime (Union Rags) making up any ground close to the wire.
