Chantilly's two newcomers' events on Monday featured some likely types and in the colts' version it was Yeguada Centurion's well-connected Mr Lope Cen who had the bragging rights. Fighting off another son of Lope De Vega in Vegamix, the 27-10 favourite who is entered in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains and Prix du Jockey Club got his career off to the perfect start for the Henri Devin stable. Aurelien Lemaitre had to be patient on the fence on the half-brother to Justify's Prix de la Foret heroine Ramatuelle, but when the time came his mount was alive to the opportunity and able to lead home the sprint and score by 1 1/4 lengths from the Wertheimer-Fabre project as the pair pulled clear.

Churchill Downs's spring meeting will be headlined by 50 stakes races cumulatively worth a record $27.8-million with 22 of those black-type contests being run Kentucky Derby weekend with purses set at a record $19.1-million, the track announced Monday morning. Set to run Apr. 25 to June 28, the crown jewels of those 44 race dates will naturally be the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Kentucky Oaks, the latter of which will run under the lights in prime time for the first time on the NBC broadcast. Kentucky Derby Week (Apr. 25 – May 2) will contest 22 stakes races worth $19.1-million, including nine totaling $12.05-million on Derby Day and seven at $5.55-million on Oaks Day. The Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic, which annually precedes the Derby on the first Saturday in May, is now worth $1.5-million. The $500,000 boost to the 1 1/8-mile grass race for older horses is one of 16 stakes races that received a purse hike. Other spring meet highlights include Stephen Foster Preview Day with seven black-type contests May 30; Stephen Foster Day featuring seven stakes June 27; and four closing day stakes June 28. On Foster Day, the Kelly's Landing has been renamed in honor of Bango, who won 12 of his 28 career starts at Churchill between 2019-25, making him the winningest horse in the track's recorded history. Six stakes races run at Churchill Downs were upgraded in status by the American Graded Stakes Committee last December. The Shawnee and Unbridled Sidney are now distinguished as Grade II races, while the Hanshin presented by JRA and Maxfield went from Listed events to Grade III status. The Anchorage and Leslie's Lady were elevated from Black-Type to Listed races. Following its annual closure for wintertime renovations, the Churchill stable area will reopen Tuesday, Mar. 17. The first day of training on the main dirt track will be Wednesday, Mar. 18. To see a full list of the race-by-race changes, please go here.

As usual, the Wertheimers have an exciting Classic crop and the newcomer Harissa (Wootton Bassett) only added fuel to the fire at Chantilly on Monday. Lining up as the 7-5 favourite for the mile fillies' contest on the Polytrack, the Christophe Ferland-trained daughter of the G3 Prix d'Arenberg winner Kalahara (Frankel) travelled with enthusiasm in the box seat before seizing command 1 1/2 furlongs from home. At the line, the descendant of the operation's top-class racemare and producer Occupandiste (Kaldoun) had three lengths to spare over Juddmonte's Arbus (Bated Breath), with another 3 1/2 lengths back to the Graffard eyecatcher Destivelle (Siyouni) in third. Harissa holds entries in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and Prix de Diane.

Aidan O'Brien has talked up the credentials of ante-post Derby favourite Pierre Bonnard (Camelot) but put forward 20-1 chance Montreal (Sea The Stars) as being a potential sleeper in the market for the Epsom Classic. O'Brien has won the past three editions of the Derby – with Lambourn, City Of Troy and Auguste Rodin – and will be bidding to land a record-extending 12th success in the race this year. Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner Pierre Bonnard was reported to be on track to run in the key Derby trials at Leopardstown en route to Epsom, for which he is a general 11-2 chance. However, speaking at the Ballydoyle press morning on Monday, O'Brien warned against underestimating the merits of unexposed colt Montreal, who was last seen winning a Leopardstown maiden in August by 10 lengths. “Montreal was very smart at Leopardstown when he won,” O'Brien replied when asked to nominate a Derby outsider. “Isaac Newton (Camelot) is a very dark horse as well. I don't know whether he will get to the Derby ahead of the others, or whether he will end up at Ascot, but he's a very dark horse and is much better than what people think. But, listen, it's very hard to not have an each-way [bet] on Montreal. He's a big price.” Confirming that Pieere Bonnard was on track to run in both the Ballysax and the Leopardstown Derby Trial, O'Brien said of the ante-post Derby favourite, “He's very straightforward. He's a big Camelot and is very relaxed and very chilled. Christophe [Soumillon] was always super-impressed with him. Ryan has never ridden him [in a race] and only rode him yesterday [Sunday] morning for the first time.” He added, “We ran him at Leopardstown first time, where he got beaten in a maiden, and I can remember I was afraid going to Dundalk with him because I wasn't sure about the ground. Wayne [Lordan] told me that he would handle Dundalk without any bother and he loved the fast ground. So he handles fast ground and you'd imagine he will get a-mile-and-a-half well because he's so relaxed. He's big and he's classy and he has done very well over the winter. “The Derby is still the race, it's what the whole breed is based on. You can kid yourself about other races and some of them are great for the older horses but anyone that breeds a horse, that is where they are aimed. Some of them don't do an awful lot after it because it is such a tough race. It's the ultimate test, mental, physical, they have to be quick, they have to stay. It's a brutal race, but that is the way it has to be, unforgiving. It's the race the whole breed is based on. It's just the way it is.” The post ‘He’s A Big Price’ – O’Brien Nominates 20-1 Derby Outsider As Being A Value Play For Epsom appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
