HRH Prince Bandar bin Khaled Al Faisal, chairman of the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia said, “This is only the seventh time we have staged the Saudi Cup meeting and it has already delivered countless memorable races and performances. “We are delighted and honoured that so many people have chosen to aim their horses for the 2026 Saudi Cup races and, on behalf of everyone at the JCSA, I would like to extend our gratitude to those owners and trainers. “It has been especially pleasing to see the races recognised by the international authorities, too. The Saudi Cup has held Group 1 status since 2022 but we will now be staging our first ever Group 1 race on grass, the Neom Turf Cup, after its consistent level of performance. “The Saudi Cup meeting is not only about world-class racing; it is a celebration of the horse as well as the culture and the hospitality of the Kingdom. The list of nominations only increases the excitement and we look forward to welcoming connections and racing fans alike next month for an event that has quickly made a huge impact on the global calendar.” The post Forever Young Among 57 Group 1 Winners Nominated To 2026 Saudi Cup Programme appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The newest supplements are: Sherbini (Cairo Prince): a 4-year-old filly who was an impressive debut winner at Churchill Downs at two before she was runner-up in the Schuylerville Stakes and placed in the GI Spinaway Stakes, both at Saratoga. Also placed in the Rags to Riches Stakes at Churchill, Sherbini is cataloged as a racing or broodmare prospect and is consigned by ELiTE, agent. Tigerish (Tiz the Law), a 4-year-old filly and one of five black-type performers out of Lerici, by Woodman. Graded stakes-placed at two, Tigerish is a half-sister to Grade I winner Avenge (War Front) and Grade II winner Liguria (War Front). She is from the family of such international stars as Canadian Horse of the Year Wonder Gadot (Medaglia d'Oro) and European champion miler Mark of Esteem (Ire) (Darshaan {Ire}). Bluegrass Thoroughbred Services, agent, consigns Tigerish as a racing or broodmare prospect. 2025 filly by Gun Runner consigned by Four Star Sales, agent. Her dam, Dragic, by Broken Vow, is a half-sister to Gun Runner's juvenile champion Echo Zulu and to Grade I winner Echo Town (Speightstown). Dragic, a multiple stakes performer, is the dam of Saturday Flirt, who is undefeated in four starts in North America, including the 2025 Soaring Softly Stakes at Saratoga.

The promising young stallion King Of Change (Farhh) has left Ireland to stand at Tweenhills Stud for the forthcoming season in a move which stud owner David Redvers has described as “potentially game-changing for us”. Runner-up to Magna Grecia in the 2,000 Guineas, King Of Change won three of his six lifetime starts, closing out his career by winning the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on QIPCO British Champions Day. His first two crops of racing age have collectively numbered 76 foals, 37 of which have run to date, including the four Listed winners Lady With The Lamp, Shayem, Miss Of Change and Onemoredance, making King Of Change the leader among the second-crop sires of 2025 with a cumulative figure of 12.9 per cent stakes winners to runners. He is listed as having covered 125 mares in 2024 and 38 in 2025. King Of Change, who is by the subfertile but proven stallion Farhh out of the Echo Of Light mare Salacia, was bred by Rabbah Bloodstock and raced in the colours of Ali Abdulla Saeed, as did his Group 2-winning half-brother Century Dream (Cape Cross), who also stands in the UK at Norton Grove Stud. Now aged 10, King Of Change stood his first two seasons at Shadwell's Derrinstown Stud, before moving to Starfield Stud, where he has been based for the last three seasons. Redvers said that he had tried hard to buy Sands Of Mali when he was auctioned last month by Tattersalls Ireland and was eventually sold to Gay O'Callaghan of Yeomanstown Stud. He told TDN, “I bid a very large number for Sands Of Mali but I was still only about fifth in the running. But I listened to Gay Callaghan's reasoning for giving what a lot of people would consider a telephone number for the horse and it really struck a chord with me. And you know that when you stand a stallion off the track, only one in ten of them, at best, work out. “You are at risk of polluting your broodmare band with ordinary semen and devaluing all of it. Whereas, if you've got a stallion you've got confidence in, with proven numbers, then the likelihood is that you're going to increase the value of your broodmare band. And, you know, you've only got to see what the likes of Whitsbury [Manor Stud] have managed to achieve with Havana Grey to realise how powerful a good stallion is.” King Of Change will stand alongside fellow Group 1 winners Kameko and Lightning Spear at Tweenhills in Gloucestershire. Earlier advertised at Starfield Stud for €5,000 for 2026, King Of Change's fee at Tweenhills will be announced in the coming days. Redvers continued, “I've been looking hard for a proven stallion and [King Of Change] was the stallion I most wanted to send mares to and use. And I thought, well, it was worth asking the question, and I was rather surprised when the answer came back as yes. “This fellow is extremely fertile. He's had very exciting results, and then he's got 100-odd foals on the ground this year. So, as a result, there's a lot of good stuff to come. I'm going to send him more mares this year of our own than he covered all of last year. I couldn't really be any more excited about him, to be honest. “To be in a position to buy this horse ourselves with a couple of partners is potentially game-changing for us. Even if it's relatively small numbers we're working with, the stats don't lie.” He added, “From very limited opportunities King Of Change has delivered outstanding results, and it is mouthwatering to think what he could achieve going forward with more quality and quantity. It goes without saying that we will be supporting King Of Change with our broodmare band and our partners in the stallion will do likewise. “At the beginning of our thirtieth anniversary as a stallion farm, King Of Change's arrival heralds an exciting new chapter for Tweenhills.” The post ‘I Couldn’t Really Be Any More Excited’: Redvers Welcomes King Of Change To Tweenhills For 2026 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
