Tuesday, Chantilly, France, post time: 12:35, PRIX THOMAS BRYON-G3, €73,200, 2yo, 9f (AWT) Field: Mirik (Fr) (Kameko), Space Waltz (American Pharoah), Al Zanati (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Pacifica Pier (Ire) (Palace Pier {GB}), Bourbon Blues (GB) (Space Blues {Ire}), El Vegas (Ire) (Almanzor {Fr}). TDN Analysis: Charlie Appleby is double-handed in this contest, formerly staged over a mile at Saint-Cloud, with Al Zanati the clear first-string and Pacifica Pier the probable pacemaker. Runner-up in the G3 Autumn Stakes last month, the former will probably have too much for the Graffard runner Mirik whose Lyon-Parilly win was boosted by the runner-up going on to success at Group 3 level on Saturday. Andre Fabre's Niarchos homebred Space Waltz needs to improve on his second in the Listed Prix Isonomy over course and distance last month and Graffard knows what it takes having saddled the winner of that in Regal Resolve.

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Tuesday's Observations features an exciting newcomer at Newcastle. 5.45 Newcastle, Novice, 2yo, f 8f 5y (AWT) BRILLIANT STAR (GB) (Cracksman {GB}) is the second foal out of Anthony Oppenheimer's Irish Oaks, Prix Vermeille and British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes heroine Star Catcher (Sea The Stars), who started her career on the all-weather at Chelmsford in December 2018. Given that she was only sixth on debut and looked far from the outstanding middle-distance filly that she would become, the Gosdens will be thinking of the future as she takes on experienced peers over a trip sure to be short of her optimum.

A new minimum reporting level (MRL) for the banned substance metformin has been proposed by HISA's Anti-Doping and Medication Control (ADMC) Committee, according to a HISA release Monday. The proposed MRL is 4.0 nanograms per milliliter in blood and is based on recommendations received at HISA and HIWU's request from the Racing Medication & Testing Consortium's (RMTC) Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). The modification will be circulated for public comment in the coming days. Following a series of positive test results for metformin and what Monday's HISA release called, “intelligence received by HIWU that trainers were intentionally administering metformin to Covered Horses to enhance performance,” HISA and HIWU called for an independent review of the available science relating to metformin by the RMTC's SAC in June 2024 to determine if it was appropriate to modify the regulation of this substance. During the review, HIWU stayed the prosecution of all unresolved and new cases involving potential positive tests for metformin, although there have been zero reported AAFs in 2025 while testing at 0.5 nanograms per milliliter in blood and 1 nanogram per milliliter in urine. After the review, which consisted of a study of existing scientific literature followed by a three-part study performed by Dr. Heather Knych with the K.L. Maddy Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory at the University of California (UC), Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, the SAC agreed that an MRL of 4.0 nanograms per milliliter in blood reflects exposure to metformin due to intentional administration and minimizes the possibility of a reported AAF due to inadvertent exposure. Dr. Knych's administration study determined that metformin demonstrates an erratic elimination behavior in urine and an inconsistent relationship between urine and blood concentrations. Therefore, the SAC recommended that laboratories perform confirmatory analysis in blood only. “We are thankful to UC Davis, Dr. Knych, and her team for performing ground-breaking research on metformin. HISA and HIWU's call for this review of metformin aligns with our mandate to utilize science when making regulatory decisions to prioritize safety, integrity, welfare, and fairness,” said HIWU Executive Director Ben Mosier. “Additionally, we appreciate our ongoing collaboration with the RMTC's SAC to facilitate these research projects and ultimately enhance the effectiveness of the ADMC Program.” There are currently nine unresolved (and therefore stayed) presence cases for metformin, which, according to the HISA release, will continue to be stayed pending the Federal Trade Commission's approval of the new MRL. If the new MRL is approved, it will not impact cases that were resolved prior June 2024 and involved violations of the rules and testing specifications in effect at the time. TDN reached out to HISA for clarification on how the unresolved cases would be impacted if the new MRL was adopted and whether those cases involved positives above or below the newly proposed threshold. HISA responded via email, “HIWU cannot disclose the reported levels of metformin for the currently stayed cases. If the FTC approves the proposed Minimum Reporting Level, cases below the new MRL will be withdrawn at that time and updated on the HIWU website. Stayed cases that are not affected by the proposed MRL will continue through the adjudication process upon the FTC's approval of the rules, and their status will be updated on the HIWU website once resolved.” The post HISA, HIWU Propose New Minimum Reporting Level for Metformin appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Arena Racing Company (ARC) have launched a new all-weather series called Friday Night Live. The initiative has been created in partnership with Invades, the company behind many student racedays, and comprises five Friday evening fixtures worth over £200,000 per meeting, with the aim of attracting 18 to 25-year-old racegoers. The 35 races will be broadcast live across both Sky Sports Racing and ITV Racing from January to March next year at Wolverhampton, Newcastle and Southwell – with the two first-named tracks hosting a pair of meetings each. ARC group director of commercial strategy, David Leyden Dunbar, said, “The Friday Night Live concept is unapologetically aimed at a new audience who may not have previously engaged with horseracing, and we plan to work with a roster of partners who share a common goal in reaching this audience. “Together with the likes of Guinness, Carlsberg and our broadcast partners, the aim is to bring some of our Friday Night Live event activations to life. These are brands who understand the importance of engaging with the next generation of horseracing fans and what it takes to achieve this.” The launch of the new series coincides with confirmation that ARC will no longer host Racing League fixtures, which are a Championship Horseracing initiative, at its racecourses.
