    • Unraced since winning the GII Castle & Key Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland last October, MINARET STATION (c, 3, Instilled Regard–Beau Recall {Ire}, by Sir Prancealot {Ire}) showed no rust off the layoff, firing midstretch to win the American Derby. Now a winner of his last three, the 5-2 second choice split runners in pursuit of loose pacesetter Freedom's Not Free (Omaha Beach) who took the field into the final furlong before a host of challengers drove him down late. Minaret Station, caught in a four-wide surge inside the sixteenth pole, had plenty of response for Cristian Torres to win ahead of Native Runner (Laobon) while Freedom's Not Free lasted for third. Lifetime Record: 4-3-0-1.

    • Thorpedo Anna put to rest any lingering doubts about her talents as a 4-year-old June 28, thundering to her seventh stakes score in the $498,500 Fleur de Lis Stakes (G2) at Churchill Downs.View the full article
    • Repole Stable and St Elias Stable's 'TDN Rising Star' MINDFRAME (c, 4, Constitution–Walk of Stars, by Street Sense) was his own worst victim in last year's GI Belmont Stakes and GI Haskell Stakes, his inexperience costing him victories in both of those marquee events for the 3-year-old generation. He got the monkey off his back, at least to some extent, when proving best in a thrilling four-way go in the GI Churchill Downs Stakes on the Kentucky Derby undercard, and in the GI Stephen Foster Stakes Saturday afternoon, cemented his position as one of the top handicap horses in the country with a one-length defeat of fellow 'TDN Rising Star' Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) to stamp his ticket to this year's Classic at Del Mar, the same race won en route to a championship by Sierra Leone last fall. 'TDN Rising Star' First Mission (Street Sense) was ridden positively by Luis Saez from gate one and was quickly joined by Mindframe to his outside. Mystik Dan enjoyed the run of the race hugging the fence from just behind the pace, while Sierra Leone was unsurprisingly void of early speed, waiting for the second half of the race to deliver his best. First Mission continued to show the way down the back, but Flavien Prat asked Sierra Leone for some mid-race acceleration and the duo were up into third, three wide outside of Mindframe into the second turn. Positions were unchanged nearing the stretch and when First Mission rolled away from the inside, there was room for a rail-skimming run for Mystik Dan, if good enough. He peaked on his run, but Mindframe still had more to offer, and even though he wanted to lug in–again–at the eighth pole, he fought on bravely for the victory. Sierra Leone looked like he was under a full head of steam approaching the stretch before appearing to idle a bit from third. He, too, lengthened his stride nicely inside the final furlong and was getting to the winner. First Mission outfinished the 2024 Derby winner for third for a noteworthy 'TDN Rising Star' trifecta. Sales history: $600,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 7-5-2-0.

    • With a fortunate spark of front-end speed, Serendipity (Street Sense) made every pole a winning one to take her first higher level race in the GIII Selene Stakes at Woodbine on Saturday. A former member of Brad Cox's shedrow, the filly won for that trainer in her debut going two turns on the grass at Gulfstream Park Mar. 23. Forced to run on the main track at the Big A May 9, the bay was a fading runner-up against optional claimers in her next start. Tabbed as the 5-2 second choice here, the daughter of Street Sense blazed out of the gate and took the field into the first turn, while favorite Not Time (Not This Time) was a touch rank in the third position. Serendipity looked like a picture of poise through controlled splits of 50 and change through the first half mile and entering the lane she spurted away. Tiz Her Money (Tiz the Law) tried valiantly to make up ground, but it was not enough in the end as the Josie Carroll trainee hoisted the trophy. “I think she's [Serendipity] an exceptionally nice filly,” said Carroll. “I know her connections all thought the same. It was their opinion she would take to the synthetic and they were spot on. She's come up here and done nothing but train well.” Pedigree Notes: The venerable Street Sense (by Street Cry {Ire}) now has 44 graded scores to his credit, which is led by MGISW & current sparkling sire in his own right McKinzie. The winner's dam produced current 3-year-old filly in-training & 2023 OBS Spring buy Nay V Belle (Midshipman). She foaled a filly by Nyquist last year and was bred to Elite Power for last term. Cafe Belle's own dam is GIII Comley Stakes heroine Snowbell (Tapit), who also claims SW Twice as Sweet (Candy Ride {Arg}).

    • By Mike Love Woodend Beach trainers Ben and Greg Hope will be looking for some luck with their four runners at today’s Addington meeting. “All runners are a chance with a bit of luck on our side,” said a statement on the Ben and Greg Hope Racing Facebook page. In the main event of the day, race eight, the Lisa Latta Racing ‘Silk Road’ Winter Series Final over 1980m for a good stake of $25,000, the Hope pair Rena and Our Shangri La will need to overcome some tricky draws to compete. Rena ($10.00FF), driven by Gemma Thornley, has drawn the outside of the gate. Coming into today off the back of a strong win last time, the three-year-old Rock N Roll Heaven filly will need to be on her game to feature, but does possess the speed to do so. Our Shangri Lana ($7.50FF), driven by Ben Hope, has drawn the outside of the second row and will need luck on her side. Coming into today third up in a campaign, the four-year-old Art Major mare has been building nicely. Other chances in the event include current equal favourites Tremendous Sensation ($5.50FF) with driver Blair Orange and trainer Ken Barron, while Major Performer ($5.50FF) for driver Carter Dalgety and trainer Trent Yesberg, who has been recently gaining some beach air while domiciled with Matt Purvis, looks a strong chance. Grettymac ($3.00FF), a newcomer to the Hope barn, has her first race for the team in race seven, the Thanks To All My Loyal Owners & Staff Handicap Trot over 2600m, driven by Ben Hope. Formerly with Jonny Cox, the six-year-old Majestic Son mare last raced in April this year and has not been seen at trials or workouts since. Randel Huston P ($2.90FF) is the current favourite for trainers Brent and Tim White, driven by Blair Orange, while Deirdre Franco ($8.00FF) looks a trotter in form for trainer Chris Thornley to be driven by regular pilot Gemma Thornley. Kowhai Nugget ($4.80FF) rounds out the Hopes’ chances in race nine, the Thanks Rangiora Equine Services Mobile Pace over 1980m. The five-year-old Sweet Lou gelding did not have things go right at his previous start, but has the draw to use to regain form. Race one gets underway at 1:13pm.   View the full article
