Asfoora had a bit of the same problem in the race but that was no problem either! Great day's racing. Love to be there for it again. -

Well supported for his stakes debut, Schwarzenegger (Not This Time) went to the front and stayed there, holding on to win by a half-length over TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, Obliteration (Violence). Sprinting through a quarter mile in a crisp :21.17, the bay was clear turning for home and dug in late as a trio of runners came up to his haunches but were unable to get by the 2-1 favorite at the wire. Obliteration was a neck in front of Rogue Legend (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) and it was a nose back to Bobrovsky (Daredevil). “We know he's super-fast,” said winning jockey John Velazquez. “Even out of the gate, he's so fast out of there I had to let him jump for three or four jumps before I tried to get a hold of him. He came out running, and all I tried to do was to save him for the end.” He continued, “I don't think the grass was a favorite today, so I got a good hold of him all the way to past the three-eighths pole to try to save it for the end and lead them all the way around. Schwartzenegger was second behind Attfield (Vekoma) as the favorite in his career debut going 5 1/2 panels at the Spa Aug. 29. “[Trainer Wesley [Ward] had him ready, to go from a maiden [special weight] to running against winners in a stakes race — that's a big tip for him,” Velazquez added. According to Ward, next stop for the colt is Del Mar. “We're heading to the Breeders' Cup [GI Juvenile Turf Sprint],” confirmed Ward. “He's a sprinter and that's a very fast track out there at Del Mar. It'll be firm; we won't have any weather issues, and it won't be 5½ [furlongs] like it was today. Johnny said there was a lot of moisture in the track today; they watered it pretty good. So when we get to Del Mar it should be great for him, and it's also 5 [furlongs] instead of 5½. So everything's heading our direction now.” Schwarzenegger, a $410,000 weanling purchase at KEENOV in 2023, brought $950,000 at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Sale last season.

Calumet homebred Gin Gin (f, 4, Hightail–Before You Know It, by Hard Spun) went wire-to-wire and just held off a last-gasp effort from Nitrogen (Medaglia d'Oro) to upset the GI Juddmonte Spinster Stakes at Keeneland Sunday, earning an automatic berth in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff in the process. Let go at 18-1, the filly was prompted by favored Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) through fractions of :23.74 and :46.69, with Nitrogen parked three wide while shadowing the top two. Nitrogen rushed up to challenge the pacesetter as Thorpedo Anna lacked any punch and fell back at the top of the lane. Nitrogen drifted out at midstretch, allowing Gin Gin to open up and she looked home free before Nitrogen kicked into gear to just miss in a dramatic photo finish. #4 GIN GIN ($38.64) holds off Nitrogen in the @LanesEndFarms @BreedersCup WAYI $650,000 @JuddmonteFarms Spinster Stakes (G1) at @KeenelandRacing.
