Ballyhane Stud and the Irish European Breeders Fund (Irish EBF) announced the seventh renewal of their sponsorship of the Irish EBF Ballyhane Stakes, the richest race staged at Naas Racecourse. The race will be run on Bank Holiday Monday, August 3. The €200,000 median auction contest has established itself as a popular and highly competitive fixture on the Irish racing calendar since its inauguration in 2020. Last year's renewal was won by the Ger Lyons-trained Howd'yadoit, further highlighting the race's strong appeal to leading owners, trainers and breeders. In addition to renewing their support, Ballyhane Stud have announced the introduction of a Breeders' Raffle, an exciting new incentive for 2026. Two breeders of two-year-olds entered at the initial entry stage on March 4 will be randomly selected to receive a free nomination to one of Ballyhane's stallions, Magnum Force or Sakheer. The nominations will be usable during the current breeding season. Ballyhane's Joe Foley said, “The Irish EBF Ballyhane Stakes has been a tremendously exciting race to sponsor and we're delighted to continue our support for 2026. Introducing a breeders' raffle this year is something we are particularly pleased about, as it offers a tangible reward for breeders this season while adding another layer of interest at the early entry stage.” Nessa Joyce, Irish EBF manager, added, “The continued partnership between Irish EBF and Ballyhane Stud reflects a shared commitment to supporting connections at every level of the sport. The Irish EBF Ballyhane Stakes has established itself as an important race for EBF-eligible two-year-olds whose sire has achieved a median auction price of €75,000 or less. The welcome addition of the breeders' raffle further enhances the race's value and appeal.” The post Irish EBF and Ballyhane Stud Renews Sponsorship as Breeders’ Raffle Launched appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Ka Ying Rising has been crowned Timeform's 2025 horse of the year. David Hayes' sprinting superstar became Timeform's highest-rated horse in training when achieving a rating of 135 for a facile victory on his return to action this season in the Chief Executive's Cup, where he gave multiple Group race-winning sprinters significant amounts of weight. The son of Shamexpress also received a second award, being named Timeform's Champion Sprinter. Following his reappearance in September he went on to land the global sprint showpiece, The Everest, at Randwick in October before returning to Sha Tin to defend his Group 1 Hong Kong Sprint crown at the Hong Kong International Races. On receiving the award at Sha Tin, David Hayes said, “It's been a perfect season for Ka Ying Rising. He keeps stepping up and improving, he just absorbs so much pressure so easily and puts the race away – he's a freak. “He has a massive stride and how fast he can go just takes other horses out of their comfort zone mid-race, it just blows them out and then he is able to extend away like no other horse I've ever trained. “He's the best I've ever trained. I'm a massive Black Caviar fan, she's an out and out champion and the best I've ever seen – for me, he is comparable to her and that's incredible to have a horse capable of that.” Calandagan was named Timeform's Champion Middle Distance performer following a standout campaign, where he was beaten only twice before notching four consecutive Group 1 victories across France, England and Japan. Francis Graffard's son of Gleneagles finished the season with a Timeform rating of 133, achieved with his win in the Group 1 Qipco Champion Stakes, before becoming the first European-trained winner of the Japan Cup since 2005. Graffard said, “Calandagan has really blossomed mentally and physically after we decided to stay at home for the Grand Prix de Saint Cloud in June. The partnership between Mickael (Barzalona) and the horse is working very well now, he has a lot of confidence in him and he's an incredible horse. He's very smart and well balanced, everything comes very easy for him. “The Japan Cup was a special day. We were the only foreign horse in the race, and he delivered an incredible performance. He broke the track record, beating a very good Japanese horse after a long journey – I don't think I will live that again! He is a champion and he never lets us down.” Meanwhile, Field Of Gold was crowned champion miler, Minnie Hauk landed the prize for champion filly and mare and Trawlerman was the top stayer.
