    • The first mares have been reported in foal to Claiborne's first-season stallions Mindframe (Constitution–Walk of Stars, by Street Sense) and Johannes (Nyquist–Cuyathy, by Congrats). Multiple Grade I Mindframe's first mare in foal is Put Together (Smart Strike), a half-sister to Grade III winner Feathered (Indian Charlie), the dam of Horse of the Year Flightline. Boarded at Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa in Paris, Put Together is owned by Vinnie Viola's St. Elias Stables, which also co-campaigned Mindframe during his on-track career. Mindframe stands his debut season at stud for an advertised fee of $50,000. Toni Marie (Blame) became the first mare checked in foal for Grade I winner Johannes. This is the first mating for Toni Marie, who resides at Chesapeake Farm in Lexington for owner Raymond Fischer. Johannes stands for an advertised fee of $10,000. View the full article

    • Tattersalls has released the catalogue for the Craven Breeze-Up Sale, which features 182 juveniles and takes place between April 13 and 15. High-profile graduates from the Craven Breeze-Up Sale include multiple Group 1-winning sprinter Vandeek, 1,000 Guineas heroine Cachet, Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint winner Believing and more. Commenting on this year's catalogue, Tattersalls Managing Director Matthew Prior said, “Al Quoz Sprint winner Believing was the sale's fifth individual Group 1 winner since 2022 and crowned another excellent year on the racecourse for the Craven Breeze-Up Sale, Europe's leading breeze-up sale for Group 1 winners.  “The future looks equally assured, with UAE 2,000 Guineas winner Six Speed heading a strong group of promising Classic contenders aiming to follow in the footsteps of Native Trail and Cachet, alongside Epsom Derby runner-up Ambiente Friendly and last year's Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas third Hotazhell.” He added, “The consistency of the sale's success at the highest level is a clear testament to the continued support of Europe's leading breeze-up consignors. That support has once again resulted in a catalogue rich in both quality and diversity, making the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Sale, staged alongside racing at the Rowley Mile at the start of the Flat season at the Home of Racing, a compelling prospect for both domestic and overseas buyers.” The breeze for the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Sale will take place at Newmarket's Rowley Mile Racecourse on Monday 13th April starting at 9.30am, with the sale taking place on Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th April after the conclusion of racing on the first two days of Newmarket's three-day Craven Meeting.  Willie Browne's Mocklershill, leading consignor at this sale in 2025, will have the largest draft this year with 10 juveniles catalogued. Knockanglass Stables, Tally-Ho Stud and Cormac Farrell will each offer nine lots. No fewer than 39 of the sires represented in the catalogue have already produced Classic or Group 1 winners including Acclamation, Blue Point, Frankel, Ghaiyyath, Invincible Spirit, Justify, Lope De Vega, Megmas, Night Of Thunder, Sands Of Mali, Starman, Sea The Stars and Wootton Bassett. Meanwhile, no sire will be better-represented at the sale than Havana Grey, who is responsible for 19 of the 182 entries. Buyers looking to benefit from additional incentives will be well catered for with four lots entered in the £25,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus Scheme, nine two-year-olds eligible for French Owners' Premiums, 13 lots entered in the Swedish Derby and Oaks Series and nine two-year-old fillies registered for the Great British Bonus Scheme. There are also several lots entered in lucrative Tattersalls sales races including the £200,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction Stakes, the £200,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes and the €250,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes. The catalogue can be viewed online at www.tattersalls.com and will be available from Tattersalls and Tattersalls representatives from Friday March 6.

    • you're a good trainer of trotters.  so keep at it.  Victoria is really taking off with trotters . In fact 8 of the 9 races at Melton on Saturday night are trots. something they have a lot of in Victoria to cater for all classes of trotters. The Group 1 is a Keayang Zahara benefit race though lol 🤣 A few good kiwi trotters trainers made the change to Victoria so well worth considering if you wanted to really enjoy your craft, and win some TROTS. Young Tristan Larsen still driving for ex-pat Brent Lilley , who has several group 1 wins training ,  and also ran 2nd in the TAB trot last year Cambridge with his star horse. they surprisingly only have 2 in on Sat.   and another kiwi Kiwi Trotter trainer Richard Brosnan has done well. None in this Saturday though.  Richard and Son Emmett winning the Interdominion trot Final 3-4  years ago with Maori Law and win trot races all the time in Vic. Another disgruntled kiwi trainer Kyle Marshall from Cambridge arrived a couple of years ago and does well. He has the favourite in race 2 . Alas the prizemoney in Victoria is very low these days , as not a lot of betting on them these days. Kyle's horse picks up just 3-4 thousand per win from it's 4 wins so you have to get used to that with the state of the economy. so has about $20,000 earned . but it's just a sport , and a wins a win  . Auckland has several great trotter trainers like BarryP , the Dickies, Balle , Hacketts ,McGowans, Herlihy, Mark with OscarB, Chilcott , Dr Chin should retire (but whatever) and several more even  . What they should do is Double the prizemoney , Double the trot races number . and that would double the number of trotters competing . and get them off correct rating races too .  Dunn's even sent some there for a while like 'Bounce and Beyond' and 'BraveheartHighlander' so they would support the trotting too no doubt. send all the Pacers to the South Island and have the North exclusively trotters and greater than Sweden . 😅  🏆 And MAKE AUCKLAND the Trotting Mecca OF the World for trotters . Bigger and better than Sweden even. Run the richest trots in the world .  NZ has had world class trotters (and trotter trainers)  for decades.  they should still try and prosper from such. The upcoming 'TAB trot' has made the Aussies look good so far  , so has lifted the Aussie game. Look what GUS did in NZ. and QLD is Not even a Trotting state lol. So things are Possible if you aim Big.
