Licensed stablehand Sarah Kellermeier has been disqualified for 10 months after Racing NSW found she posted improper social media comments and repeatedly failed to comply with official directions. Racing NSW’s integrity department launched an investigation on October 22 after a complaint about comments posted under Kellermeier’s name on the public Facebook page Australian Horse Racing. The posts, made during discussion about jockey James Innes Jnr’s disqualification, were ruled prejudicial to the image and integrity of the sport. Stewards found the Facebook account belonged to Kellermeier, whose profile is publicly identifiable as a racing industry participant. She was interviewed the next day and directed to provide evidence her account had been hacked, but failed to do so. Kellermeier was then ordered to appear at a stewards’ inquiry on November Wednesday, but she did not attend. The matter proceeded based on a brief prepared by Racing NSW investigator Anna Tabet. Stewards issued three charges and directed Kellermeier to appear for their determination on Friday. She again failed to attend and the hearing proceeded in her absence. She was found guilty of conduct detrimental to the interests of racing, failing to comply with a direction from the General Manager of Investigations, and failing to attend a stewards’ hearing. Stewards cited her lack of cooperation, the seriousness of the conduct, and the need for deterrence in assessing penalty. They imposed four months for the social media misconduct, three months for failing to comply with directions, and six months for failing to attend a hearing. With the latter two served concurrently, the total disqualification is 10 months, effective from November 7 and September 7, 2026. Kellermeier was informed of her appeal rights. -

Trainer Brad Cox's outfit was like a hen on a June bug towards the end of Keeneland's 'Fall Stars' meet and subsequently kept pouncing on wins at Churchill, Horseshoe Indy and Aqueduct as the calendar flipped to the more autumn-like weather of November. Louisville's favorite son collected 20 winner's circle visits across 61 starts from Oct. 21 on, which included a Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}) playlist in the GIII Hagyard Fayette Stakes, an Oaks points deposit for Life of Joy (Gun Runner) in the Rags to Riches Stakes and taking a bow for the Ozone Park faithful was 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard', Bishops Bay (Uncle Mo) in the GIII Forty Niner Stakes. The dual Eclipse Award-winning conditioner may have had only a pair of turf entries at the Breeders' Cup last weekend, but that means little when it comes to the health and power of his stable. Rolling into a graded stakes Saturday with a head full of steam, Cox has Encino (Nyquist) slated for the GIII River City Stakes going nine furlongs on the grass under the Twin Spires. You will remember the dark bay because he wired the field as a 3-year-old in the GIII Stonestreet Lexington Stakes at Keeneland, which is always the final Derby prep. Sent to the sidelines with an injury before the 'Run for the Roses', the Godolphin homebred returned earlier this year and has since shifted to race primarily on the turf. Last seen scoring over the all-weather in the Presque Isle Downs Mile, Encino will probably be the favorite in the River City with Irad Ortiz Jr. up. “He's a very classy horse who gives it his all on any surface,” said Trace Messina, assistant trainer to Cox. “He's a fast horse but has shown he's able to sit off the pace if he needs to. We're looking forward to him running another top effort on Saturday.” The 4-year-old will face a solid group of experienced specialists though, which includes GSW Lagynos (Kantharos), GSW Taking Candy (Twirling Candy) and GISP Chasing the Crown (Skipshot). Lemon Zest, Godolphin blue through and through | Coady Media Flavien Prat rode Encino at Presque Isle, but the top jockey–who was on fire himself at the Big A last Sunday–hops aboard Lemon Zest (Nyquist) for New York's GII Mother Goose Stakes. Another homebred for Godolphin, the filly won at second asking at Churchill Downs in late June and then cleared an allowance condition at Ellis Park in mid-August. Trying higher-level company for the first time in GIII Remington Park Oaks in late September, Lemon Zest was the runner-up to So There She Was (Munnings), who ships into New York for trainer Chief Stipe O'Neill. Lemon Zest's form shows she can put on some early lick and she is going to need every ounce of it against upstarts like Being Myself (Curlin) and Fully Subscribed (Tiz the Law), plus the presence of GI Longines Kentucky Oaks runner-up Drexel Hill (Bolt d'Oro). The latter, a Whit Beckman trainee, won the Busher Invitational at Aqueduct Mar. 1 and has not been seen since her surprising 32-1 longshot Oaks performance. “She [Drexel Hill] had a very small flake removed from her knee,” Beckman said. “She came back very quickly and seems to be stronger than ever. She has been off for quite a while. Coming back at a mile and an eighth at Aqueduct is no easy task.” Here's the tea on the Long Island & more… Carded at the Big A on Saturday is also the GIII Hill Prince Stakes, which could be a lawn slugfest in the later stages between MGSP Noble Confessor (Quality Road), SW Stars and Strides (American Pharoah) and Mayor of Midnight (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}). With a distance test as the finale on the card, the GIII Long Island Stakes includes MGSP Way to Be Marie (Not This Time), who was forced to scratch with an issue before the GI Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Del Mar. The 4-year-old filly stands in the way of MGSW & route specialist Beach Bomb (SAf) (Lancaster Bomber). The cold blast from Canada is almost here, but not before Woodbine offers a trio of toasty graded stakes on Saturday. In the GIII Maple Leaf, the ever-consistent Blitz (Uncle Mo) should be able to make the class jump for trainer Mark Casse. However, Casse's trio of runners in the GIII Bessarabian Stakes–which includes GSP Mo Fox Given (Mo Town) who is supplemented to Keeneland's HORA sale next week–could face stiff competition from Miguel Clement's stable in graded stakes winners Love Cervere (Into Mischief) and Les Reys (Fr) (Penny's Picnic {Ire}). Of note, Canadian champion 3-year-old filly Caitlinhergrtness (Omaha Beach) makes the race, while Brad Cox entrant GSP Ellen Jay (Constitution), out of superstar Covfefe, hopes to draw-in off the also-eligible list. Finally, the GIII Autumn Stakes includes GSW & morning-line favorite Funtastic Again (Funtastic) and GSW Swift Delivery (Not This Time), who is co-owned by future Hall of Famer Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Attfield (Vekoma) played the role of the Fantastic Mr. Fox to perfection as he shot through a hole to swipe the Central Park Stakes at the Big A on Friday afternoon. The Tom Morley trainee donned cap and gown on debut after sprinting on the grass at the Spa Aug. 29 when he rallied to best eventual stakes winner Schwarzenegger (Not This Time). Attfield tried the Aqueduct turf course in the GIII Futurity Stakes Oct. 3 and improved to make the podium. As a 7-2 shot here, the colt broke a touch inward, but was able to be forwardly placed along the rail just behind the pacesetting Honey Dutch (Knicks Go). Saving ground around the first turn and up the backstretch, the 3-year-old was waiting for daylight and his cue around the far turn. The leader entered the lane looking for the wire because Attfield was about to gun his engine. Tipping to the two path, the chestnut fired his best shot, collared Honey Dutch at the sixteenth marker and was up in plenty of time. “He's [Attfield] very fast but he has a wonderful demeanor this horse,” said trainer Tom Morley. “He's out of a Street Boss mare–and he's by Vekoma–but physically he does look like a horse that should be able to stretch out. “Today was a very important day–firstly, I thought it was important we didn't go to the front–he's been running in fast sprint races,” he said. “I wanted to see him get a lead and Ricardo [Santana, Jr.] and I spoke about that this morning, and he and I both thought he should be sitting in the catbird seat right behind whoever was in front.” The first to the races for his dam, the winner claims a half-sister by Mendelssohn who is currently a yearling. A half-sister to Canadian stakes winner Ray's Away (Limehouse), Graceful Witch visited Newgate for next spring. Attfield is his sire's (by Candy Ride {Arg}) 17th stakes winner.
