    • Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott admits he remains unsure how Parchment Party will handle Flemington Racecourse's turf surface when he becomes the first American-trained runner to contest the Melbourne Cup (G1) Nov. 4. View the full article
    • Well you could give it to Grimson ( like when he got Swayzee off the Tim Butt stable ) and any number of other horses Jason Grimson got to do form reversals. Or now we have the Queensland version. give it to A trainer you haven't heard of yet in Mitchell Dawson. (brother of leading driver Nathan Dawson)  give your horse to him.  Mitchell is getting a few old has-beens to 'Go Forth and Multiple' as the old saying goes,  and is racking up some extraordinary performances lately.   NZ bred gelding BOLD MEDLEY JUJON takes the cake lately as the Dawson Star Improver.  Racing on our Slow Thursdays in QLD , when the 1.56 to 2.00 mile horses strutt their stuff . Bold Medley Jujon , a recent arrival at the Mitchell Dawson stable ZoooooMMMMed away in a 1.50 mile by 15 lengths from the field for a gob-smacking win .    Quite something !. as The horse had been raced for 3 years at the Leading stable of Grant Dixon , with very average results. Grant had started the horse 24 times this year for 2 Wins , both in 1.58 mile rate at Redcliffe. The horse couldn't get warm at Albion Park. Come the 23rd October though , and one week after leaving Dixons, picked up by Mitch Dawson, he's thundering away from the field in blazing fashion , 26 seconds out of the gate, then 26.3 seconds down the back straight to give the field the slip , and cruise in by half the length of the straight, still powering along alone.  Slow Thursdays are Not what they used to be  🤣. wonder if Grant feels like a 'poor' trainer now after seeing that lol 😎. Grant could get back behind Larry (LeapToFame)  and feel better anyway. Although he would be 'flat out' to go that fast as what BOLD Medley JUjon can now go lol.
    • Bad luck or good management by John Dunn in that race. He could have kicked up behind the leader in that race but pulled straight back off the gate and Judine ended up with that spot.  
    • Despite the 4-5 confidence the public placed on him, The Big Con (GB) (c, 2, Dark Angel {Ire}–Nakuti {Ire}, by Mastercraftsman {Ire}) must have had connections holding their collective breaths a few times during the running of the GIII Grey Stakes for 2-year-olds Sunday at Woodbine. He broke nicely from the one hole, settling midpack, but things got tight for him and he was shuffled back several spots. Unfazed behind fractions of :24.65 and :50.21, the 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' appeared all but beaten before coming on again up the rail in the stretch to win powerfully. He got the 1 1/16 miles on the synthetic in 1:46.57 to remain unbeaten in two lifetime starts. Silent Tactic (Tacitus) and Wembley Avenue (Known Agenda) finished second and third, respectively.

    • She's Quality (Acclamation), who was pulled up in the early stages of Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, has been euthanised, according to a press release on Sunday from the Breeders' Cup. The four-year-old was the first runner at the meeting for trainer Jack Davison, who said in a post on social media, “I am devastated to report that our stable star She's Quality has passed away, having suffered a pelvic fracture during the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint. After the race, she was transported to San Luis Rey Equine Hospital where she received the best possible care and appeared to be stable in the initial hours after. However, her condition declined overnight and the difficult decision was made to humanely euthanise her. “We are utterly devastated at her passing. She was a high-class filly and she took us all on an amazing journey. Although this is a very sad ending, I would like to thank all of my staff for taking such great care of her over the past three years. We are a small, tight-knit yard and we will miss her terribly.” Bred by Rathbarry Stud, the four-time winner She's Quality spent this season racing for Aristia Park Bloodstock & Partners and posted a string of consistent efforts in stakes company, including four second-place finishes in the G3 Palace House, G2 Temple, G3 Coral Charge and G2 King George Stakes at Goodwood. Prior to flying to America she had been third behind Asfoora in the G1 Prix de l'Abbaye on Arc Weekend. Never travelling on jumping from the stalls for the Turf Sprint, She's Quality was pulled up in the back stretch by jockey Colin Keane and was taken off the track in a horse ambulance for further assessment by the on-course veterinary team. The statement released by Breeders' Cup read, “The loss of She's Quality is deeply felt by all who love and care for equine athletes. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to her connections.” The post She’s Quality Euthanised after Suffering Pelvic Fracture at the Breeders’ Cup appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
