It was another game display from the juveniles as Comport (Collected–Bartlett Narrows, by Flatter) refused to be denied late, and kicked home best to claim the Ellis Park Juvenile. Content to watch Spice Runner (Gun Runner) as that 8-1 shot set the early pace in :22.88 and a half in :46.01, the chestnut looked poised to take command at the head of affairs, but the longtime leader would not be felled so quickly. The duo drew off from the field but Comport eventually got the best of his rival to win by a clear margin. Papa Ken (Yaupon) ran on to claim third. The winner entered this contest with a maiden-breaking score at Churchill Downs June 1, and a runner-up June 29 to Romeo (Honor A.P.) in the Bashford Manor Stakes–which was won in stakes record time. Sales history: $135,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. O-Joseph W. Sutton; B-Edwin Anthony (KY); T-Eddie Kenneally.

She had to work for it, but Chopsticks (Essential Quality–Miss Southern Miss, by More Than Ready) justified her favoritism here with a game victory in the Ellis Park Debutante and becomes her sire's first stakes winner. Entering the race with a three-length maiden score at Churchill Downs June 27, the grey was made the 3-5 chalk on a day were the public could not choose incorrectly and continued that parade of short prices here. Off well to track the pace as Kingsolver (Omaha Beach) and Boom Boom Bell (Combatant) put up :22.43 and a half in :45.57, she was the looming threat from the overland route as they turned for home and was on a short lead at the head of affairs. In command but having to brace for the second wind of Kingsolver, she kept that one at bay late while Prowess (Tiz the Law) fought on for third from the rail. Sales history: $300,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. O-Selective, LLC; B-Machmer Hall (KY); T-Brad Cox.

Queen Azteca (Sharp Azteca), winner of the G3 UAE Oaks in February at Meydan Racecourse, arrived in Saratoga Au8. 8 and cleared quarantine to gallop over the Oklahoma training track Sunday morning. Trained by Niels Petersen, the bay was purchased privately by Team Valor International and is expected to make her North American debut in Saturday's GI Alabama Stakes. Queen Azteca was accompanied to the training track by her exercise rider Carlos Toro Montecinos and a pony, calmly taking in her surroundings before jogging a half-mile and galloping once around the dirt oval. “She settled in very good. She's a very good traveler. This was her first time out on track, and she loved it. She's as big as the pony, and the pony is big,” said Montecinos, with a laugh. “She has a nice temperament too. She's never seen a pony at home.” Queen Azteca, who was based in Norway with Petersen, made her two most recent outings at Jagersro in Sweden, winning at 11 furlongs in June and finishing a 1 3/4-length second in 12-furlong Jockeyklubben Svenskt Derby on July 13. “That's what she needs – long distance,” Montecinos said of the Alabama 10-furlong distance. “She flies really good at the end – she has a really good finish.” Out of Princessa Helena (Palace Malice), the $22,000 KEESEP purchase will stay in the U.S. following the Alabama and will be trained by Rodolphe Brisset.

Twenty years ago, Dubawi claimed his third Group 1 victory in the Prix Jacques Le Marois. On Sunday, Sajir, his third-generation male-line descendant, claimed his own first top-level win, also in Deauville, when lowering the colours of hot favourite Lazzat in the Prix Maurice de Gheest. In TDN on Friday, Ted Voute told Adam Houghton how the team behind Prince Faisal and his homebred Sajir were “quietly quite excited” in the build-up to a race which could seal Sajir's place at stud. Well, they can be loudly very excited now, after the four-year-old's decisive win in the Normandy sunshine. Soft-ground lover? You know what that say: good horses go on any ground. Prince Faisal's association with Sajir's Ballylinch Stud-based sire Make Believe has been well documented. He bought the colt from the first crop of Makfi, who was in turn from the first crop of Dubawi, as a foal from breeder Simon Hope of Aston Mullins Stud. Make Believe went on to emulate his Classic-wining forebears by winning the Poule d'Essai des Poulains followed by the Prix de la Foret. He then threw the mighty Mishriff in his own first crop. Make Believe remains an extremely useful stallion, and stood at the enticing fee of €8,000 this year. Appropriately, it is Prince Faisal who has had the greatest success with his own stallion, being responsible for both his Group 1 winners to date. Mishriff will be one of the next young sires to come under scrutiny at the foal sales later this year, and Sajir will surely now join him at stud eventually somewhere in Europe. The weekend's results have served a strong reminder that, at 23, Dubawi remains an incredibly dominant force. Godolphin's Rebel's Romance claimed his eighth Group/Grade 1 success at the age of seven in the Grosser Preis von Berlin, a race he first won three years ago. In the process he gave young jockey Billy Loughnane his first Group 1 success. More notably from the Darley/Godolphin perspective however, was a first Group 1 winner for another youngster. Dubawi's son Space Blues has his first two-year-olds in action and is now the first of his fellow freshman sires to break through at the top level thanks to Power Blue's victory in the Keeneland Phoenix Stakes for Amo Racing. For good measure, on the same afternoon, Dance To The Music, a full-sister to Space Blues, stamped her name on the ledger of Classic prospects for 2026 with her victory in the Newsells Park Stud Sweet Solera Stakes, a race won in the last two seasons by Lake Victoria and Fallen Angel, the latter by another son of Dubawi in Too Darn Hot. Then there's Dubawi's French-based sire Zarak, a precious son of the great Zarkava, who is now among the most in-demand members of the French stallion ranks. On Saturday, the Aga Khan homebred was represented by the winner of the G3 Prix Dubai Racing Club at Deauville, Marquis, and farther afield by Laurelin, who took the GII Saratoga Oaks for Graham Motion and Newstead Stables, while another three-year-old daughter, Koffi Kick, landed Sunday's Listed Hoppegartener Stutenpreis. Everywhere we looked this weekend, Dubawi was somewhere, his prevalence ensuring that his sire Dubai Millennium will not fade from the breed anytime soon, however unlikely that may have seemed at his untimely demise in the first flush of his own stud career.
