    • 2024 Goodwood winner Benedetta. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) Group 1-winning mare Benedetta will miss next Friday night’s Group 1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) due to a minor setback. The five-year-old was withdrawn from last weekend’s Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality (1200m) after sustaining a knock to her hind leg, prompting trainer Jason Warren to adjust her spring campaign. “Where she has knocked her leg has all settled down, but she’s had to have a quiet week,” Warren told Racing.com. “A solid Manikato first-up over 1200 metres was going to be too much of an ask.” Benedetta, the daughter of Hellbent, is now set to resume in the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield on October 12. Warren had considered entering her in the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1200m) a week earlier but opted against it as there wouldn’t be sufficient time for a trial beforehand. The mare will then target the Group 2 McEwen Stakes (1200m) on Cox Plate Day, with her sights set on the Group 1 Champions Sprint (1200m) on the final day of the Flemington Carnival.

    • I Am Me. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) With Bella Nipotina confirmed as Ciaron Maher’s first runner in the $20 million Everest (1200m), his chances in the prestigious race could receive another boost if I Am Me performs well in The Shorts (1100m) at Randwick this Saturday. The two mares have faced off three times, with I Am Me finishing ahead on each occasion, most recently edging out Bella Nipotina to take victory in the Group 3 Concorde Stakes (1000m) earlier this month. “She has been a very good horse, she hasn’t won a Group 1, but she has been Group 1 placed multiple times,” said Maher’s Sydney foreman, Johann Gerard-Dubord. “She won the Sydney Stakes last year, so we know she enjoys Randwick. She was probably a couple of lengths off the better ones [in the past], but she seems to have come back like she might have improved those couple of lengths and that could be enough.” I Am Me has secured an ideal draw in barrier two, with James McDonald set to ride. Gerard-Dubord’s only concern is the short turnaround between runs. “That’s probably the only question mark, two weeks between runs after such a good first-up effort, but she’s not showing any signs she has gone backwards,” he added. “She was very good first-up, she has drawn well on Saturday, she has found a dry track. She will be hard to beat again.” Horse racing news View the full article

    • With two days of selling in Book 6 yet to come, the 2024 Keeneland September Yearling Sale has become the highest-grossing sale in the history of the auction house. When the gavel fell on hip 3634 not long after 6 p.m. Thursday evening, gross receipts totaled $405,519,500 (not including post-sale transactions) for the first 10 days of trade, breaking the previous high-water mark of $405,495,700 set in 2022. The cumulative average of $174,342 represented a healthy 7.3% bump over the corresponding figure from 2023, while the median price of $95,000 was up 11.8% over last year's figures. “An achievement of this magnitude is only accomplished by a community of people who share a passion for their horses and the sport of racing,” Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin said. “We thank our breeders and sellers for the tremendous quality of horses they brought to market and the many buyers from around the world participating in this sale. We are grateful for their strong support of Keeneland.” Added Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy: “We enjoy collaborating with our customers to create the best sales environment possible. The amazing energy and excitement we saw surrounding Book 1 created momentum that continues to flow through week 2 of the sale. With two sessions still to go, we've got many nice horses yet to be sold.” A filly from the first crop of Airdrie Stud's Beau Liam (hip 3375) topped the second of two Book 5 sessions Thursday on a bid of $200,000 from Tom Tatum. The filly was bred and consigned by Ledgelands LLC. This story will be updated….
