Wodeton (Aus) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) punched his ticket for the G1 Golden Slipper with a 3 3/4-length win at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday for trainer Chris Waller (video). The A$1.6-million yearling commanded plenty of hype and was already second in the betting for the Slipper, but the manner of his performance sees him vying for the top spot. Overcoming a slow start in the 1100-metre affair, the bay unleashed a powerful bid at the 300-metre mark under James McDonald, ultimately zipping home. He distanced the field in a couple of jumps. The Magic Man (Aus) (Showtime {Aus}) finished second. Waller's assistant trainer Charlie Duckworth was on course for the win and said, “If the track was in the heavy range, we might have waited a week, but James [McDonald] won't be here [then],” Duckworth said. “We wanted to have James on, and we are fortunate to be racing on a soft deck today. “He was the most highly talked about colt when we were up at the Magic Millions [last week], and he had only trialled and yet everyone was asking about him. To generate that much hype off of a trial when you are well held and didn't even win…but obviously people knew what they were looking at and he's pretty exciting. “Chris will plot a path to the Golden Slipper 2025. There is the [G3] Canonbury Stakes coming up in a fortnight, but we will see how he comes through this race.” “He's the real deal,” added McDonald. “He has the most pure action and unbelievable demeanour about him and it's going to take him a long way. You wait until you see him on good ground!” Bred by Fairway Thoroughbreds, the son of Listed Morphettville Guineas heroine Fiera Vista (Aus) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) was offered by Segenhoe Stud at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale last January, and caught the eye of Coolmore Australia's Tom Magnier, who made the winning bid of A$1.6 million. Wodeton is a half-brother to the winner Queen Starlight (Aus) (Zoustar {Aus}), as well as a yearling colt by I Am Invincible (Aus) who also sold to Magnier for A$1.15 million at this year's Gold Coast Sale. This is the extended family of group winner Empress Rock (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), dual Hong Kong Horse of the Year Silent Witness (Aus) (El Moxie), and the latter's half-sister and multiple group winner Sister Madly (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}), who was twice placed at the highest level. The colt is owned in partnership by Coolmore, Wynaus, Westerberg, Mr J Poulin, Sir P J Vela, Chris Waller Racing, Lynque, Peachester Lodge, Mr R McClure, Meridian Bloodstock, Lockhart Waller Racing, Glentree Racing, Mr K MacLennan, Fairway Thoroughbreds, and Marcstown Pty. Ltd. The post Another Slipper Prospect For Wootton Bassett And Coolmore appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Back-to-back Eclipse Champion Male Sprinter Elite Power (Curlin) has his first foal on the ground with a colt who was born Jan. 16 at Norevale Farm, according to a release from Juddmonte USA on Saturday morning. With similar markings as his sire, the chestnut is out of New York-bred Havin' a Party (Emcee) whose first foal to race, Woodhull (Constitution), is a winner after she was acquired by Spendthrift Farm for $575,000 during Keeneland September in 2022. The brand new colt counts as his second dam GSW & GISP Chimichurri (Elusive Quality), who sold for $2.1 million as a broodmare at the 2005 Keeneland November Sale. His extended female family includes Canadian champion Wonder Gadot (Medaglia d'Oro), GISW Hard Not To Love (Hard Spun) and GISW Secret Spice (Discreet Cat). “The farm reported to be extremely pleased with the foal,” said General Manager of Juddmonte USA Garrett O'Rourke. “The foal's dam is indicative of the exceptional caliber of mare we have been able to attract to Elite Power's book.” Elite Power was a $900,000 yearling purchase by the farm. He won the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint twice, which subsequently led each time to Eclipse honors. The three-time Grade I winner earned $3,775,711 throughout the course of his racing career and stands for a fee of $50,000 LF.

The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) will reinstate jockey Paco Lopez on a conditional basis effective Jan. 23, following his indefinite suspension Dec. 4, 2024 for striking a horse with a riding crop the previous day at Parx Racing in a manner which violated authority rules, a HISA spokesperson said Saturday morning. The statement said Lopez has met all conditions required for reinstatement, demonstrating his commitment to upholding the standards of conduct and integrity expected of participants in horse racing. During his suspension, Lopez participated in required therapy sessions, which he has pledged to continue, and made sizable donations to the Permanently Disabled Jockeys' Fund and Second Call Thoroughbred Adoption and Placement. “Paco Lopez has demonstrated his commitment to conducting himself in a manner required of professional jockeys,” said HISA CEO Lisa Lazarus. “He has expressed remorse and a desire to return to riding with a renewed understanding of the responsibility that comes with the privilege of working with horses.” The spokesperson also emphasized that HISA remains steadfast in promoting the safety and integrity of horse racing, holding all participants accountable, while fostering a culture of respect and care for the sport and its participants. Paco Lopez | Coady Photography Lopez's attorney Drew Mollica said when reached by phone that the situation has provided his client with an important opportunity for growth. “We are deeply grateful for Paco [Lopez] to have had the ability to confront this issue,” Mollica said. “The collaboration with HISA was the chance to better not only himself, but to accentuate the importance a serious issue like a jockey's mental health, which thanks to HISA and the Jockey's Guild has come to the forefront. During his time away, Paco allowed himself to reflect about who he is not only as a jockey, but as a person. He looks forward to getting back in the saddle and doing what he loves. He wants to thank all who supported him during this difficult period.” The incident in question occurred in the fifth race at Parx on Tuesday, Dec. 3 when Lopez was videoed repeatedly striking his mount, National Law (Constitution), in the face with his crop. The 2-year-old was trained by Jorge Duarte, who came under scrutiny when he initially defended the jockey's actions on X that same day. Duarte issued an apology two days later. Lopez took full responsibility for his actions and began serving an indefinite suspension.
