    • It was a good battle on the tote and it carried over to the racetrack, as Wathnan Racing's COMMANDMENT (c, 3, Into Mischief–Sippican Harbor, by Orb), sent away the 12-5 favorite, and 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Chief Wallabee (Constitution)–the 5-2 second choice–locked horns in the final furlong of Saturday's GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park, with the slightly more experienced Commandment taking advantage of a superior trip to prevail narrowly. The victory was good for 50 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. A $500,000 Keeneland September yearling, Commandment was away in good order from gate three for Irad Ortiz, Jr. and was bang in midfield through the opening exchanges as longshot Rockies Balboa (Girvin) made the running in advance of the previously undefeated Solitude Dude (Yaupon) and a three-wide Napoleon Solo (Liam's Map) through a fast opening section of :23.16. Chief Wallabee, an impressive debut winner over seven furlongs, tracked Commandment from one path to his outside and a length in arrears passing midway. Junior Alvarado asked Chief Wallabee for a bit of mid-race speed and got a bit of first run on Commandment entering the final half-mile, but while the Bill Mott runner was committed to an overland journey around the second turn, Commandment charted an inside course, hoping that the run would come. Chief Wallabee loomed three deep outside of Solitude Dude and looked set to charge home, but Commandment found the room he needed at the inside, hit the front and just held sway to the line. The final time was a solid 1:43.33. Commandment is the 94th winner at the graded level for Into Mischief and is the sire's second straight winner of this key Kentucky Derby prep, won last year by Sovereignty. Sales history: $500,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 4-3-0-0.

    • Just before midstretch She Be Smooth flashed another gear to surge past a pair of dueling leaders and quickly open up to register a 6-length victory in the $205,000 Davona Dale Stakes (G2) Feb. 28 at Gulfstream Park.View the full article
    • Making his seasonal debut Saturday, MAGNITUDE (c, 4, Not This Time–Rockadelic, by Bernardini) looked a winner every step as he easily took the down an over-matched field in the GIII Razorback Handicap at Oaklawn Park. Second choice Nu What's New (Munnings) gave him an early challenge, leading the 4-5 favorite narrowly for much of the running up the backstretch as the opening half went in :47.38. But Magnitude stayed glued to that one's flank and had an answer for every move, pushing past with ease once the question was asked into the final furlong. In a parade route to the wire, the son of Not This Time enjoyed an open-lengths win under jockey Jose Ortiz. Nu What's New stayed on for second while Gould's Gold (Goldencents). Lifetime Record: 12-6-2-1. O-Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC; B-Ron Stolich; T-Steve Asmussen. Sales History: $310,000 wlg '22 KEENOV, $450,000 ylg '23 KEESEP.   The post Magnitude Rocks The Razorback appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Do you think they'd have run it on totally unsuitable ground at this point.
