Friday, Ascot, post time: 14:25, THE FLEXJET PAT EDDERY STAKES-Listed, £50,000, 2yo, 7fT Field: A Bit Of Spirit (Ire) (Palace Pire {GB}), Cape Ashizuri (Ire) (St Mark's Basilica {Fr}), Italica (GB) (Sergei Prokofiev, Reciprocated (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Sirius A (Ire) (Palace Pier {GB}), Time To Turn (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Tricky Tel (GB) (Ubettabelieveit {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Unbeaten and impressive at Nottingham and Carlisle, Reciprocated will be a warm order to continue the momentum in this often-informative race won in recent times by Chindit and Rosallion. A Bit Of Spirit is also two-for-two and untested so far, while the Ayr debut winner Cape Ashizuri looked a smart prospect and has the pedigree to go far. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Ascot, post time: 16:10, THE KING GEORGE VI AND QUEEN ELIZABETH STAKES-G1, £1,500,000, 3yo/up, 11f 211yT Field: Calandagan (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Continuous (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}), Jan Brueghel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Rebel's Romance (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Kalpana (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}). TDN Verdict: The key to this fascinating renewal will be whether Jan Brueghel can go fast enough and whether Calandagan will stay well enough to outdo his big rival if he does. Somewhere in between is probably the result, but it's worth remembering that Rebel's Romance was up with the strong pace 12 months ago and hung in there at the finish unlike the others who contested. This could be one for the bruisers and he fits that bill perfectly, but it's hard to get away from how unexposed and dangerous Ballydoyle's big hope is. Aided by a past St Leger winner in Continuous that would be the boss of most stables, he has the stamina to see this though like the last two winners Hukum and Goliath. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, York, post time: 14:40, THE SKY BET YORK STAKES-G2, £150,000, 3yo/up, 10f 56yT Field: Almaqam (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Certain Lad (GB) (Clodovil {Ire}), Ecureuil Secret (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Royal Champion (Ire) (Shamardal), Bay City Roller (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Green Impact (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Stanhope Gardens (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Kept away from fast ground to date, Almaqam has underfoot conditions to suit as he builds towards what could be a big autumn. Exuding the presence of a Group 1 winner without actually being one, the colt that beat Ombudsman in the Brigadier Gerard has to win this to maintain his aura and luckily the smart three-year-olds Bay City Roller, Green Impact and Stanhope Gardens provide adequate litmus. The latter is still open to vast improvement, having finished close enough in the Derby to maintain excitement levels and this is probably more his trip. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Ascot, post time: 14:20, THE LONGINES VALIANT STAKES-G3, £85,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 7f 213yT Field: Cheshire Dancer (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}), Jancis (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}), Lou Lou's Gift (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Royal Dress (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Sunfall (GB) (Twilight Son {GB}), American Gal (GB) (Kameko), Bermuda Longtail (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Cajole (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Chantilly Lace (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Glittering Surf (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Pina Sonata (GB) (Pinatubo {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Narrowly denied in Royal Ascot's Sandringham and Sandown's Listed Distaff, Cajole looks like a filly on the up with her pedigree screaming persistent progression. Fellow three-year-old Chantilly Lace was just outside the frame in the 1,000 Guineas and Coronation, while Mary Slack's unexposed dual winner Pina Sonata is worthy of respect. Of the older horses, the impressive Listed Pipalong Stakes winner Royal Dress looks to set the standard. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Ascot, post time: 13:40, THE SODEXO LIVE! PRINCESS MARGARET STAKES-G3, £70,000, 2yo, f, 6fT Field: Amberia (Ire) (Coulsty {Ire}), Arugam Bay (Ire) (Soldier's Call {GB}), Bella Lyra (Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Dance To The Music (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Daneh Of Dandy (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), Eskimo Pie (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), Fitzella (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Flowerhead (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Midnight Tango (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Staya (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Sukanya (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}). TDN Verdict: Godolphin's Newmarket debut winner Dance To The Music will be popular, but Space Blues's sister faces experienced peers with class including the Listed Dragon Stakes winner Staya and Flowerhead, second to True Love in the Queen Mary at 100-1.

Fresh off a victory in the GI NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park, Journalism (Curlin) went to the track at Santa Anita Thursday morning to stretch his legs following his return to Del Mar Tuesday evening. “Looks like he's doing very well,” trainer Michael McCarthy said. “No plans yet. Just keeping everything on the table.” When asked if the 3-year-old's next race might be facing older horses in the GI Pacific Classic at Del Mar, McCarthy said, “At some stage you're going to have to run against older [horses]. But there's a lot of lucrative purses throughout the country for straight 3-year-olds. The one drawback is having to put a horse like him on a plane.” Comparing travel to some of venues Journalism could possibly return to this summer, McCarthy added, “Scheduling-wise we thought the Haskell just made a lot of sense. It's an easy ship. Fly into Newark and go straight to Monmouth Park. With the lack of a real equine freight service, it's difficult to get horses to certain locales. Saratoga is one of them. Fed Ex only goes so far.” The post Journalism Back at Santa Anita, McCarthy Continues to Weigh Options appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Another day, another son of Order Of St George in pride of place at the Tattersalls Ireland July Store Sale. Thursday's top lot is out of listed-placed Little Miss Poet (Yeats) (lot 306) and sold for €50,000 to Darren O'Dwyer Bloodstock. Consigned by Liss House, the bay is a grandson of G2 Prestbury Juvenile Novices' Hurdle second R De Rien Sivola (Robin Des Champs). Wednesday's topper was also a son of Order Of St George. The only lot to meet or exceed €50,000 during the sale's second session, the gelding was joined by two other lots to make that price during the Wednesday session. Overall, a total of 296 lots sold from 509 offered (58%) for a gross of €2,617,650 (+10%). The average declined marginally to €8,843 (-2%) and the median dropped 8% to €6,500. All horses catalogued and offered in the July Store Sale are eligible for the €100,000 Tattersalls Ireland MSL Mercedes-Benz Sales Bumper at Leopardstown on December 28, 2026. Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said, “The store season concluded with this week's July Sale, which remains an important final opportunity in the National Hunt Store calendar. It follows a month after a hugely successful renewal of our Derby Sale. This week's sale does however illustrate the challenges faced by vendors and whilst a significant number of store horses have already gone through the sales ring this year, it would be remiss not to acknowledge the challenges that face vendors at this level of the market as witnessed by this sale's clearance rate. “This summer's store sale season has delivered standout results with the Derby Sale being a particular high point. It produced the highest-priced store sold in Ireland this year, and across every key metric it significantly surpassed last year's strong figures. A record-breaking 38 lots sold for €100,000 or more, while a spend of €10 million on day two, was a record for a single session at the Derby Sale.” The post Another Son Of Order Of St George Tops Second Day Of July Store Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

'TDN Rising Star' and MGISW Chancer McPatrick (McKinzie), winless in three prior runs this season, got back on track with a hard-fought win in Thursday's Curlin S. at Saratoga. The rail-drawn, 4-1 chance raced in an inside fourth through an opening quarter in :24.27. He was under a ride on the far turn and fought on gamely between horses in the stretch to outbattle longshot So Sandy (Omaha Beach) by a head. It was another half-length back to his favored Chad Brown-trained stablemate and 'Rising Star' Strategic Focus (Gun Runner) in third. Last year's GI Hopeful S. and GI Champagne S. winner finished second in the GIII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby Mar. 8, sixth in the GI Blue Grass S. Apr. 8 and turned back to finish seventh in the seven-furlong GI Woody Stephens S. June 7. The $260,000 FTKJUL yearling turned $725,000 OBSAPR juvenile finished in a dead-heat in his last two.
