    • After a dark day Friday, the Keeneland September Yearling Sale picked up right where it had left off when a colt by Into Mischief (hip 1197) brought a final bid of $2 million early in Saturday's fifth session of the 12-day auction. Bloodstock agent Justin Casse signed the ticket on behalf of Coolmore and White Birch Farm. Consigned by Gainesway, the bay colt is out of the unraced Miss Jessica J (Empire Maker), who is a half-sister to champion Jaywalk (Cross Traffic) and multiple stakes winner Danzatrice (Dunkirk), the dam of Grade I winenr Tapit Trice (Tapit). He was bred by Al Shira'aa Racing and Gainesway Thoroughbreds.

    • There was a moment in the closing stages of Doncaster's G1 St Leger on Saturday that summed up the state of affairs at Coolmore in this pivotal era. As Galileo's final Classic runner Stay True loomed to Justify's Scandinavia, the Classic briefly looked in the balance but it was ultimately the son of the operation's heir apparent and not of the departed giant who earned the statement win. At the line, Tom Marquand had secured a neck success for Aidan O'Brien's third in succession and ninth overall in this prize from the latecomer Rahiebb (Frankel) with Stay True a length back in third. Justify has now sired the winners of the 2,000 Guineas, Derby and St Leger from his initial offerings at Stud in what is an unprecedented success story. “He's got the most beautiful temperament–speaking to Aidan O'Brien, Ryan Moore and Wayne Lordan, the thing they all said was just how straightforward he was,” Marquand said. “The ground is hard work and they all came to have a go at him, but he covered them all.” “He's an extremely special horse and one I'm privileged to be sat aboard today.”   The post Justify’s Classic Clean Sweep Complete As Scandinavia Wins The St Leger appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Christophe Soumillon was forced into switching mounts, taking up piloting duties aboard Killarney maiden winner Benvenuto Cellini (Frankel) after TDN Rising Star Montreal (Sea The Stars) was scratched, in Saturday's G2 KPMG Champions Juvenile Stakes–formerly known as the Golden Fleece Stakes–and the rider continued on a winning roll as the son of Newspaperofrecord (Lope De Vega) stepped forward to claim a career high in the one-mile contest. “He's a lovely horse and a great mover by Frankel out of a very good mare,” said Aidan O'Brien. “He's been going well at home and Christophe [Soumillon] gave him a very uncomplicated ride. He's a smasher, he's got a big open stride, he's genuine and he cruises. He looks like he's going to be a lovely middle-distance horse and Christophe thinks he feels like a French Derby horse. He can go again this year, maybe in the Racing Post [G1 Futurity Trophy] or one of the French [Group 1] races [at ParisLongchamp and Saint-Cloud], and then start in one of the Derby trials next year.” The 1-2 favourite bowled along in second for the most part as Hardy Warrior (Pinatubo) set the tempo up front. Sent wide into the straight for a narrow advantage passing the quarter-mile marker, he was beyond recall thereafter and powered clear underneath the stands' side rail inside the final furlong to easily outclass the pacesetting Hardy Warrior by five lengths. Nil Bua Gan Dua (American Pharoah) was a half-length away in third, a nose in front of A Boy Named Suzie (Starspangledbanner).         The post Aidan O’Brien Domination Continues as Benvenuto Cellini Outclasses Golden Fleece Rivals appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Coolmore and Westerberg's €1.7-million Arqana August sale topper Diamond Necklace (St Mark's Basilica) backed up a TDN Rising Star performance at the Curragh last month with a first black-type triumph in Saturday's Listed Ballylinch Stud Irish EBF Ingabelle Stakes at Leopardstown. “I was quite confident when I saw the attitude she had going down to the start and she was really professional,” said winning jockey Christophe Soumillon. “She was a little impatient in the stalls and didn't jump out properly. I had to change plans because she was quite far back. She responded really well when I asked her to quicken at the two-furlong pole and she did it so easy. For her second start, doing what she does is quite amazing. She's quite mature for an inexperienced filly and it will be lovely to see her on Arc Weekend [in the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac].” Diamond Necklace was last of eight away and settled several lengths off the pace in fifth after the initial strides. Coming under pressure to close when moving into fourth in early straight, the 1-2 favourite quickened smartly to gain an edge with 100 yards remaining and lengthened clear thereafter to easily overpower Sukanya (Havana Grey) by 2 1/4 lengths.         The post Quickfire Stakes Double for Coolmore as Diamond Necklace Seals Ingabelle Success appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
