Over three months after a spill at Aqueduct hospitalized him with serious injuries, jockey Dylan Davis will return to the races Saturday with a pair of mounts at Gulfstream Park, including one in the GIII Honey Fox Stakes for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. That Nov. 14 incident, in which Davis's mount Tarpaulin (Leofric) fell over a stricken horse in front of them, resulted in a laundry list of ailments in what Davis referred to as the most serious fall of his career. “Three months [off], 11 broken bones, a collapsed lung, a punctured lung, and I lost a kidney,” Davis said. “It was tough the first month. But once I was able to get more mobile and get going, I was able to get my mind right.” Davis's recovery involved intense physical therapy to build back up the strength he'd lost from the time off. “I was able to work with weights, strength training and resistance bands to get my body back in the right spot,” he said. I wanted to really make sure that I was 100% going back out there, in respect for my owners and trainers and all the hard work they put into their horses.” Davis is a long-time successful NYRA-based rider, having begun on the circuit in 2012 and capturing two rider's titles along the way in 2022 and 2024 during Aqueduct's winter meet. And while he meant to return to the Big A for his comeback, opportunity arose first in South Florida where he rode his first Championship meet just last season. “I was actually just planning on coming to breeze horses down here because the weather was nice, but I got offered some mounts for [this] weekend,” Davis said. “My agent [Mike Migliore] and I talked and we're interested in finishing this meet up next month. Then I think we'll go back to New York in April.” It will be a quick turnaround for Davis who admitted that he's only been back working horses for a week. “I haven't been on a horse in three months! So I was a little nervous before,” he said. “But once I got legged up, I was really happy. I was so happy to be back on and it just felt really comfortable. Once I got that first ride out of the way, it was like I hadn't missed a beat.” His fall and subsequent injuries have led Davis to re-evaluate how he approaches his routine as he faces a comeback, putting more emphasis on getting his body ready ahead of time. “I'll be changing some things,” he said. “You can get a little comfortable about what you're doing. I'll be getting in more strength training for myself and doing a couple more added things to my routine than what I was doing before. I always want to try and push myself a little more.” Davis kicks his weekend off Saturday with just a pair of rides but has a busier day Sunday, getting the leg up on no fewer than five mounts. “I've put a lot of cardio in my workout before I [got here],” he said. “I think I'll be alright there [stamina-wise]. My agent's been doing it the right way. He's putting me on a few mounts, nothing crazy the first week or two. I'm just gradually getting myself back to where I was to make sure that everything goes well.” Davis confirmed that he'll spend the month of March finishing up Gulfstream's Championship meet which concludes March 29 before returning to New York for the Aqueduct Spring meet Apr. 2. “Our base will be [Florida] for March and obviously we may ship out of there if we get to,” he said. “There's some stakes and Derby preps that we're interested in. But otherwise, base is Gulfstream and then we'll work from there.” The post Sidelined By Injury, Dylan Davis To Make Riding Return Saturday appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The Wertheimers unveiled a smart prospect on Friday as Turbulente (Australia) scored in style on debut at Chantilly. Sent off at 5-1 for the 9 1/2-furlong contest on the Polytrack, the Christopher Head-trained relative of the Melbourne Cup-winning champion Americain (Dynaformer) shadowed the early leader before taking control two out en route to a comfortable two-length success from the experienced Persian Grace (Persian King). The winner, whose family also features the Prix Marcel Boussac runner-up Tasmania (Zoffany), holds an entry in the Prix de Diane.

Thelastmanfrompenr (Passing Glance) (lot 1), a winner of his debut bumper at Kelso earlier this month, is one of three lots catalogued for the GoffsGo Early March Sale. A half-brother to the Grade 1-placed Notlongtillmay (Malinas), he is joined by lot 2, War Officer (Westerner), who has placed twice in his first two point-to-point efforts. He is a full-brother to the graded-placed Anything Will Do and a half-brother to the graded -placed Stand Up And Fight (Flemensfirth). The catalogue is rounded out by Mr Diafoirus (Sir Percy) (lot 3), a dual winner on the Flat and third on his hurdling debut at Chepstow on Saturday. His is a full-brother to the listed winner and graded-placed Cleonte. Bidding will open at noon on Wednesday, March 4 and close beginning at 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 5. Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby said, “This sale immediately follows the GoffsGo February Sale which saw the platform achieve the highest price in its short history of £245,000 which is a huge vote of confidence in our service and a great achievement from just the second scheduled GoffsGo sale. “The very nature of the GoffsGo online platform is that sales can be held any time and can be highly selective. Indeed, we are not afraid to focus on quality with small numbers as is the case with this sale, which features horses with highly relevant recent form. We already have entries for our sale later in March which will be held on the 26th. “GoffsGo offers outstanding value with an entry fee of just £49 and the lowest available vendor commission of 1.5% which is only charged for lots that sell on the platform. That is unmatched by any other European online platform. Vendors and purchasers also benefit from the same terms of business and the unique and transparent Goffs service that is evident at all live Goffs sales regardless of location.” The post Debut Bumper Winner Anchors GoffsGo Early March Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The 25th running of the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup will break new ground when run as a World Pool fixture. The meeting, which will be staged at Ascot on Saturday, August 8, will also for the first time feature a team from the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Led by Vincent Ho, the rider of the legendary Golden Sixty, the team will consist of three riders licensed to ride in Hong Kong and will replace the Asia team. Australian jockey Jamie Melham, who made history in 2025 when becoming the first female to complete the Caulfield Cup-Melbourne Cup double aboard Half Yours, will captain the Rest of the World team. She will also act as a global event ambassador for the Shergar Cup. “This will be the 25th running of the Shergar Cup at Ascot and it's exciting to see another evolution of the event, with World Pool and Hong Kong Jockey Club involvement for the first time,” said Nick Smith, director of racing at Ascott. “As ever we are hugely grateful to Dubai Duty Free for their support of this event, and of British and Irish racing as a whole.” The post Shergar Cup Joins World Pool for 25th Anniversary appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Genesis Green Stud's new recruit Royal Scotsman has had his first mare scanned in foal. The mare in question, Compassionate, is owned by Classic-winning jockey and breeder Willie Carson of Minster Stud, who is said to be “thrilled with the result”. Compassionate is a Minster Stud-bred Charm Spirit half-sister to G1 Dubai Duty Free winner Al Shemali (Medicean) and G2 Henry II Stakes winner Tungsten Strike (Smart Strike). “The team at Genesis Green are equally delighted, as Royal Scotsman continues to attract an increasingly strong first book of mares,” said Jake Swinburn. “These include proven producers at the highest level, notably Nessina, dam of Ajaya, winner of the G2 Gimcrack Stakes; Sahara Sky, dam of Dick Whittington, winner of the G1 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes; and Madam President, dam of Cappella Sansevero, winner of a Group 3 contest and runner-up in the G2 Coventry Stakes. Notably, all three colts went on to become stallions in their own right, underlining the depth and commercial appeal of the mares supporting Royal Scotsman in his debut season.” Swinburn added that the ownership group of Royal Scotsman is launching a new incentive for breeders, with a breeding right being awarded to the first breeder to produce a stakes winner by the stallion in the UK, Ireland or France.
