    • yes they are 2 beauties alright. Quinellaed the Addington 3 yearold Slot in November 7 lengths clear of the field. Come to think of it Captain's Mistress was in that Velocity Slot race as well,  and finished 12 lengths behind them so she might not be the next Big thing after all. lol.  A big ask for Marketplace and the 'Choc's' to run against this field in their first go in Open Class Ranks. They used to run the NZ Messenger as the Feature 4 year-old race , but changed it to Open Class in recent years , so they don't get that one to fight over either.  What about Rebublican Party? NZ 's best horse and taking on Leap To Fame tonight at Kilmore too for bragging rights. He hasn't made a slot in your field yet ? (ran 6th in it last year behind Leap To Fame at Cambridge)  arch rival Stonewall's  should put him in their Slot ? hahaha🤣
    • Invincible Army will stand the 2026 season at March Hair Stud in England for £5,500, according to published reports. The son of Invincible Spirit spent his 2025 season at Haras des Etincelles after spending several seasons at Yeomanstown Stud in Ireland. A group sire of G2 Greenlands Stakes hero James's Delight, Invincible Army won the G2 Duke Of York Stakes among other group contests during his racing days. From 173 foals of racing age, he is the sire of 91 winners, five stakes winners and another three stakes horses. Stakes winner Kitty Rose was second in both the G3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes and the G3 Priory Belle Stakes.

    • It was a battle late in the Martha Washington Stakes, and Search Party (Gun Runner) came out on top to win the Oaklawn filly feature, taking home Kentucky Oaks points for her effort. In no hurry early as the loose leader posted fractions of :23.10 and a half in :47.83, it was left to Search Party to continue Mark Casse's big day when 3-5 favorite, and stablemate, Counting Stars (Honor A.P.) faded to the back of the pack as they came off the bend. Closing stoutly from the overland route with Newtown Pike (McKinzie) challenging her, she gamely kept that one at bay to win in a photo. Search Party was last seen breaking her maiden Dec. 27 at this venue by six lengths.

    • She may've been left behind at the jump, but Always A Runner (Gun Runner) turned the tables in the lane as she effortlessly cruised home to 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' honors at Tampa Bay Downs. Tabbed as a horse to watch in the 'Insights' segment for this unveiling, the Chad Brown-trainee entered this contest with a healthy worktab at Belmont and Payson Park, and commanded the betting dollars to the tune of 3-5 favoritism. Right from the jump, she made her backers sweat when Always A Runner hopped at the gate, leaving her well behind the rest as the field went on its way. Racing along from the rear, with only Goldy Gate (Charlatan) beaten after that one had an even worse beginning, the daughter of Gun Runner made an eye-catching move around the far turn and was plucking off her rivals with little asking from her rider via the overland route. In command and playing with her foes, she won geared down with ear pricked by 6 1/2 lengths over Evangalina (Practical Joke). Always A Runner, who was sold to Douglas Scharbauer for $1.05-million at the Keeneland September sale in 2024 before Three Chimneys stayed in for a piece, is the first foal to the races for fellow 'Rising Star' Always Carina, who was the bridesmaid in the GII Mother Goose Stakes during her racing career. Three Chimneys, who bought second dam Miss Always Ready (More Than Ready) for $400,000 at the 2014 Keeneland April 2-year-old sale, bred not only Always A Runner but also Always Carina. The dam has been to Gun Runner four times, producing this 'Rising Star', a juvenile full-sister, a yearling full-brother, and is due back to that stallion for 2026. The aforementioned Miss Always Ready is herself a full-sister to GII Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine More Than Real, who was exported to Australia after her racing career ended and became a multiple Group producing dam and granddam. Most notably hailing from her branch of the family is G1 Golden Slipper victress Lady of Camelot (Aus) (Written Tycoon {Aus}), who was also crowned Australia's champion juvenile filly. Miss Always Ready was no slouch herself as the dam of GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf hero Structor (Palace Malice).     3rd-Tampa Bay Downs, $32,000, Msw, 2-6, 3yo, f, 1m 40y, 1:42.93, ft, 6 1/2 lengths. ALWAYS A RUNNER, f, 3, by Gun Runner           1st Dam: Always Carina {GSP, $218,800}, by Malibu Moon           2nd Dam: Miss Always Ready, by More Than Ready           3rd Dam: Miss Seffens, by Dehere Sales history: $1,050,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP.
