    • The Coolmore partners were named the leading owners at Royal Ascot for the third consecutive year and sixth in total, as the five-day stand wrapped up on Saturday. Although they had five victories–the same as runner-up Wathnan Racing–they claimed their latest title by virtue of a countback of placed horses. For Sue Magnier, Derrick Smith, Michael Tabor and Westerberg, Gstaad (Starspangledbanner), True Love (No Nay Never), and Charles Darwin (No Nay Never) took the G2 Coventry Stakes, G2 Queen Mary Stakes, and G2 Norfolk Stakes, respectively. Garden Of Eden (Saxon Warrior) and Paul Smith's Trinity College (Dubawi) won the G2 Ribblesdale Stakes and the latter landed the G3 Hampton Court Stakes. MV Magnier of Coolmore said, “It means a lot to everyone. The guys and everyone put everything into this week, and for Aidan and Ryan to do such a good job, it is incredible. We are very grateful. “We are very lucky to have The King and Queen present every day this week. It is a big deal for our business. It has been a great week. It is why we get up in the morning.” Aidan O'Brien trained the Coolmore partners' winning quintet, but finished second in the trainers' standings to John and Thady Gosden. Each operation enjoyed five victories, but the Gosdens had four seconds to O'Brien's three, giving them the trainers' title. Field Of Gold (Kingman) won the G1 St James's Palace Stakes, while Ombudsman (Night Of Thunder) claimed the G1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes. Trawlerman (Golden Horn) captured the G1 Gold Cup after being runner-up in 2024. Other wins at the meeting included Crimson Advocate (Nyquist) taking out the G2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes, and French Master (Frankel) won the Copper Horse Stakes. John Gosden said, “Our week started very strongly with the right races. Everyone working at home had the horses spot-on, and they have run very well since, finishing second and third and second and third, and that of course counts towards winning this when you are at five winners with Aidan O'Brien. “But there is nothing like this meeting, it is our Olympics, and it is great to win this. Without him [Thady], I wouldn't be as on the ball at all. It has been a great combination.” Ryan Moore brought up an even dozen Royal Ascot jockey titles with seven wins total this week. Besides partnering the Coolmore quintet, he took the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes on Ethical Diamond (Awtaad) and the Queen Alexandra Stakes on Sober (Camelot), both for NH trainer Willie Mullins. Moore said, “It is great to ride seven winners. Aidan's horses were in great form all week and, when you are riding for Aidan and Willie, you are going to ride winners.” The post Coolmore, Gosdens And Moore All Take Royal Ascot Titles appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • GI Kentucky Derby hero Mystik Dan (Goldencents), will square off against old foe and GI Longines Breeders' Cup Classic winner Sierra Leone (Gun Runner), plus G1 Dubai World Cup champ Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}) and GISW sprinter Mindframe (Constitution) in next Saturday's 44th running of the $1 million GI Stephen Foster at Churchill Downs, which is a “Win and You're In” qualifier for the Breeders' Cup Classic. The last time Mystik Dan and Sierra Leone faced one another was in the 2024 Derby, when the former took home the coveted title by a nose over the latter. Run at nine panels, the Stephen Foster headlines a 12-race program beneath the Twin Spires that also includes the 50th running of the GII Fasig-Tipton Fleur de Lis Stakes, which is a “Win and You're In” race for the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff. Horse of the Year Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) takes on four others. Supporting stakes on the undercard include the GII Wise Dan Stakes; GIII Kelly's Landing Stakes; American Derby Stakes; and Tepin Stakes. First post is 12:45 p.m. (all times Eastern) with the Stephen Foster scheduled as the 11th race at 6:03 p.m. The post Mystik Dan Faces Sierra Leone In GI Stephen Foster, Saturday Undercard Includes Thorpedo Anna appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

TDN Verdict: Best Lightning, who won this heat in 2023 and ran third last year, is one of two entries from the Andreas Suborics stable and the 2021 G2 German 2000 Guineas third gets an opportunity of adding to his three prior pattern-race victories in this prime example of an open renewal. Old foe Petit Marin, third here in 2023, is on a roll and heads postward off successes in October's G2 Premio Roma and last month's Listed Koln Cup. Merkur, New Emerald and Muhalif were among the vanquished in the latter contest, while Calyx Rose defeated Zora by a nose over course and distance in last month's Listed Grosser Preis der Sparkasse Dortmund. Next Mine, who is the only sophomore on parade, has run third in both Group 3 outings this season and last term's G1 Preis der Diana fourth New York City makes her first appearance since August.
