Elite Power, the only son of Curlin to receive Eclipse Awards in consecutive season and whose first foals have been very well-received at this year's weanling sales, will stand the 2026 breeding season for a fee of $35,000, live foal stands and nurses, at Juddmonte's Kentucky nursery. Elite Power has covered some 360 mares in his first two years at stud, his first book having included five champions and better than 25 elite-level winners or producers. A colt from the family of GI Preakness Stakes winner Seize the Grey (Arrogate) fetched $550,000 from Glen Hill Farm on the second day of the Keeneland November Sale during which 15 youngsters sold for an average of over $185,000. Twelve of the 15 were knocked down for seven-figure pricetags. 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Mandaloun (Into Mischief) will command a service fee of $10,000 LFSN. The GI Kentucky Derby and GI Haskell Stakes hero was represented by his first crop of yearlings in 2025, with a close relative of champion Citizen Bull (Into Mischief) selling to Pin Oak Stud for $1 million at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale.

Retired jockey Trevor McCarthy is joining the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) as a jockeys' wellness consultant, a newly created position that is dedicated to advancing the health, safety and overall well-being of riders. “Trevor's first-hand understanding of life in the saddle and his genuine commitment to jockey well-being make him an invaluable addition to our team,” said HISA CEO Lisa Lazarus. “His insight and experience will strengthen our ongoing efforts, alongside Jockeys' Guild, to develop programs that support the overall health and safety of riders across the country.” McCarthy, the son of veteran reinsman Michael McCarthy, began riding racehorses at the age of nine and became one of the leading jockeys on the Maryland circuit. He won numerous riding titles at Pimlico and Laurel and won his first Grade I with Highland Chief in the 2022 Man O'War Stakes. He retired in August 2024 from the saddle with 1,871 winners, his mounts having earned better than $76 million. “I'm honored to join HISA and contribute to an organization that is focused on supporting riders and making the sport safer for everyone involved,” said McCarthy. “After a lifelong career as a jockey, I know how important it is to have resources that meet both the physical and mental demands of this profession, and I'm eager to help strengthen those supports and resources for my fellow riders.” In his new role, McCarthy will collaborate with HISA's Racetrack Safety Committee, Horsemen's Advisory Group and Medical Advisory Committee to enhance communication, education and wellness initiatives for active riders. Drawing from his perspective as a recently retired jockey, he will help HISA better address the challenges riders face both on and off the track.

Trainer Simon Crisford has hailed Choisya as “an absolute pleasure and a real joy to have in the stable” ahead of her appearance at the forthcoming December Mares Sale at Tattersalls. The daughter of Night Of Thunder is set to be one of the star attractions when Park Paddocks plays host to the second of the two Sceptre Sessions on Tuesday, December 2. An eight-time winner from 23 career starts, Choisya registered her career high when winning April's GI Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland, a victory which sets her apart from every other daughter of the champion sire-elect to be offered at public auction. “The extraordinary thing about this filly is that she will be the first Grade I-winning daughter of Night Of Thunder ever presented at sale,” said Crisford. “It's a unique moment, not only for this filly but for Night Of Thunder, too. “I think she is [typical of Night Of Thunder's stock]. We've got a few Night Of Thunders and I always think they start off a little bit slowly but continue to improve and just get better and better with time.” Certainly, the latter comment applies to Choisya, who began life in handicaps from a BHA rating of just 84 in early-2023. It then took her until the August of her four-year-old campaign to make the breakthrough in stakes company, running out a comfortable winner of Haydock's Listed Dick Hern Stakes, before taking her form to another level entirely when making her Dubai debut early this year. “She really surprised us,” Crisford said of Choisya's exploits in the Middle East, which yielded consecutive Group 2 victories in the Cape Verdi Stakes and the Balanchine. “When we got her to Dubai, she absolutely loved training on an oval, flat track. It was going to be interesting to see what level of form she could achieve at Meydan – and she was an absolute revelation. In both races, the Cape Verdi and the Balanchine, she was utterly dominant and her training continued to improve.” He continued, “We felt that she deserved to have a chance in North America. We took her to Kentucky to see how she would perform against the very, very talented North American fillies. Of course, she then won that race [the Jenny Wiley], which was fantastic. It proved that what she had achieved in Dubai was absolutely no fluke whatsoever. “She continued to have a very good summer campaign, actually, but we decided not to race her back in Europe. She should have finished third in the [GI] Diana [Stakes] and she was then placed in her last Grade I effort [when third in the First Lady Stakes], so she's been a thoroughly consistent and admirable racemare.” Crisford who, along with son Ed, trained Choisya for owner Mohammed Al Nabouda, admitted that he will be sad to lose the stable's beloved globetrotter, but pride is the overwhelming emotion as she embarks on the next phase of her career. He summed up, “She's been an absolute pleasure and a real joy to have in the stable. Obviously, we'll be very sorry to see her go, but the time is now right and I think she'll let down into a fantastic mare. “Of course, she's still got racing ahead of her, if that's what people wanted to do. She's a very sound filly and she could race on. But, on balance, she'll be a super mare for somebody. She exceeded all of our expectations and maybe now is the right time for her to be presented for sale.” The post Night Of Thunder’s Choisya to Provide “Unique Moment” at Tattersalls Sceptre Sessions appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The National Stud has confirmed 2026 fees for its five-strong stallion roster, headlined by new resident Diego Velazquez at £17,500. By Champion sire Frankel, Diego Velazquez's race record boasts multiple Group 2 victories and a Classic placing in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains before capturing the Group 1 Prix Jacques le Marois in commanding fashion this summer. A 2.4million Book 1 yearling, he also boasts a stellar pedigree, out of two-year-old Listed-winning mare Sweepstake (Acclamation), making him a three-parts brother to Group 1 winner Broome and multiple Group winning and Group 1 placed Point Lonsdale. Dual Royal Ascot winner and European Champion Sprinter Bradsell was very well received in his first season, covering 130 mares and his fee remains unchanged at £10,000 (Live Foal). His first book included Group winners Ebony Flyer, Maureen, Please Sing and Shumoos as well as the dams of Group winners Happy Power and Raasel. Lope Y Fernandez completes 2025 as Leading British First Season Sire with 18 individual winners led by Group 3 performer Isle Of Fernandez and Listed placed Spanish Waltz. His first two-year-olds have progressed throughout the season and include debut winners Chill Y Flama, Sahara Magic and Ray Mon Dough who will be targeted for the Classic trials next spring. Backed by exceptional support in his first four years at stud, he will be represented by over 100 two-year-olds in 2026 and remains competitively priced at £6,000 (1st October SLF). Seven-time Group 1 winner Stradivarius' first yearlings delivered in the sales ring with a total average of £55,000, increasing to 72,000gns across Books 1 and 2. His fee remains unchanged at £10,000 (Live Foal) and his first two year olds will be in training with John & Thady Gosden, William Haggas, Joseph O'Brien, Andrew Balding, Owen Burrows etc. Building on his stellar strike rate of winners to runners Rajasinghe rewarded owner-breeder Phil Cunningham with two big Saturday winners in Two Tribes (International Stakes at Ascot and the Stewards Cup at Goodwood) and Run Boy Run (Ayr Gold Cup) and was rarely out of the results pages this year. The son of Choisir still holds the course record for the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and will stand at £3,000 (1st October SLF) for his eighth season at stud. General Manager Joe Bradley commented, “Our stallion roster for 2026 offers real choice and value for breeders at every level. Rajasinghe and Lope Y Fernandez are making a mark with their progeny on the track, and Stradivarius has had fantastic results in the sales ring. We were delighted with the reception Bradsell received last year, and he has let down beautifully coming into his second season. Diego Velazquez adds another dimension as a son of Frankel with elite Group 1 form, proven toughness, and an exceptional physical to match. His addition underlines the depth and quality we're building at the National Stud and we look forward to welcoming visitors to the stud during the December Sales.” The post Diego Velazquez To Stand For £17,500 As The National Stud Announces Stud Fees appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
