    • yip, I'm sure it can be a challenge for many riders with social media accounts!  Even more so for a Woman!  Speaking to a 'aussie jockey mentor' about it,  one suggest is that they have a private acc and a public and if possible the public one should have someone else reading and filtering! of course most riders are not in a position to that! 
    • Marc Gunderson picked up both GISP Ava's Grace (Laoban) and her yearling Into Mischief filly during Monday's Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale, going to $950,000 for Ava's Grace who is in foal to Curlin, and $625,000 for her filly just one hip later. Mother and daughter were both consigned by by Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa. The $950,000 paid for Ava's Grace already eclipses the top price of the 2025 Winter Mixed Sale when a colt by Curlin sold for $775,000.     The post Gunderson Gets Ava’s Grace And Her Into Mischief Filly At Fasig-Tipton appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • The Good Racing Company and Leeds Rhinos have joined forces to help raise funds for motor neurone disease (MND) causes. With the aim of keeping the late Rob Burrow's legacy at the heart of both the horse racing and rugby league communities, they will promote key events and fundraising initiatives to one another's fan bases. To launch the partnership, The Good Racing Company will be the official match sponsor for the Rhinos' game against York Knights at Headingley on Friday, February 20. Lindsey Burrow, who is an ambassador for The Good Racing Company, said, “Rob was passionate about two sports: rugby league and horse racing. It's great to see Leeds Rhinos and The Good Racing Company teaming up to champion Rob's legacy across both sports and continue his efforts to raise funds and awareness.” Leeds Rhinos managing director Rob Oates added, “Together, The Good Racing Company and Leeds Rhinos are giving supporters a dynamic, cross‑sport platform to celebrate Rob's life and help more families affected by MND in his name. We hope every matchday or raceday is a fresh opportunity to continue the amazing fundraising that Rob and Lindsey inspired.” The Good Racing Company set up the Rob Burrow Racing Club which costs £49 for an annual membership, with proceeds going to the Burrow family's chosen charities. They now have 10 horses in training across various syndicates, with their biggest success to date being Alfa Kellenic, winner of six races including the Ayr Silver Cup.

    • Sunday Racing's Mitilini (Jpn) (f, 3, Tapit–Midnight Bisou, by Midnight Lute) came with a sustained run from from far back to graduate in her first try going two turns on the dirt in Saturday's opening race over 1700 meters at Kokura Racecourse. Once second from two tries going 1400 meters on turf to begin her career, the Feb. 24 foal never landed a blow when trying the dirt for the first time going that same distance Nov. 16. Despite being ridden for a bit of early speed from a double-digit gate, Mitilini was no better than third-last to make the first turn and trailed by a good 12 to 15 lengths down the backstretch. Asked to improve with better than 600 meters to travel, Mitilini responded nicely when asked in upper stretch, came running three off the fence with time ticking away and was along in the waning strides to graduate by a neck as the 7-1 fourth choice. A five-time Grade I winner and the Eclipse Award-winning older dirt female in 2019, Midnight Bisou was the adjudicated winner of the inaugural Saudi Cup in 2020 and Chuck Allen paid $5 million for her at that year's Fasig-Tipton November Sale. After producing the Curlin colt Bisou in 2022, she was bred to this sire and offered at Keeneland November later that fall, where she topped the auction on a bid of $5.5 million from Katsumi Yoshida. Also the dam of a 2-year-old filly by Kitasan Black (Jpn), Midnight Bisou produced a colt by Equinox (Jpn) last season that fetched a sales-best ¥580 million ($4,318,488) during the foal section of the JRHA Select Sale. She is due to Equinox once again for 2026. 1st-Kokura, ¥11,280,000 ($72,418), Maiden, 3yo, f, 1700m, 1:48.3, ft. MITILINI (JPN) (f, 3, Tapit–Midnight Bisou {Ch. Older Dirt Female & MGISW-US, $13,971,520}, by Midnight Lute)  Sales history: $5,500,000 in utero '22 KEENOV. Lifetime Record:4-1-1-0, $63,878.

    • Tattersalls Online will join forces with Inglis Digital for a dedicated Southern Hemisphere Session to be held on Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th February. The catalogue, which is available to view on the Tattersalls Online website at www.tattersallsonline.com, marks the third collaboration between Tattersalls Online and Inglis Digital and aims to continue to strengthen the connection between the Northern and Southern Hemisphere markets. The upcoming Southern Hemisphere Session will feature a select draft from The Castlebridge Consignment, headlined by Southern Hemisphere-bred progeny by Too Darn Hot.  Tattersalls Online Sales Manager Katherine Sheridan commented, “This Southern Hemisphere Session offers a genuinely unique opportunity. Too Darn Hot's 2024 Southern Hemisphere foals are exceptionally limited in number and when combined with pedigrees of this quality, the appeal is clear. We are delighted to once again collaborate with Inglis Digital and to present a session that we expect will attract strong international interest.” Among the highlights of the session is a three-in-one package featuring the young mare Moraless, offered together with her Southern Hemisphere-bred weanling colt by Too Darn Hot and in foal on a Southern Hemisphere cover to Champion First-Season Sire Starman.  Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch concluded, “The collaborations with Tattersalls Online are a product of conversations that we have been having with the team at Tattersalls for a number of years and in the instances that we have executed them, they have generated good engagement and a number of excellent results.” “Katherine raised the possibility of this opportunity last month and we were very keen for Inglis Digital to be involved as we feel we can add significant value to the process.” “Access to Too Darn Hot was particularly limited in his fifth season because he was domiciled in England, and as such, there is a real scarcity value to these foals, particularly when analysis of who holds the balance of the crop shows that it is very unlikely that many of his offspring will be available at public auction in Australia either as weanlings in 2026 or as yearlings in 2027.” He added, “Very simply, as an owner or a trader, if you want part of the action with the fifth southern hemisphere crop of Too Darn Hot, you have to look very carefully at these offerings.” The draft will be available for inspection prior to the sale and appointments can be made by contacting Bill Dwan or Paddy Diamond of The Castlebridge Consignment, whose details are available on the Tattersalls Online website. For further information, please contact Katherine Sheridan (katherine.sheridan@tattersalls.com) or Inglis Bloodstock Sales Manager Harry Bailey (harry.bailey@inglis.com.au).
