    • Thomas Bachman has been breeding Thoroughbreds since the 1980s and, although he's down to just a handful of broodmares, he is not short on quality. His most recent stakes success came when Sammy Davis won the Graduation Stakes Aug. 8 at Del Mar. View the full article

    • Those fences in England (at Aintree)  are generally all loose stuff . They do 2 laps in the Grand National and after the first Lap a team of Workers at Every fence hurriedly repair the fence , stacking all the 'fence brush' back on, ready for the next lap. One day one of those workers will get 'Cleaned up ' by a loose riderless horse I reckon.  What a race it is though.😳 Never seen so many death-defying stunts performed in just a few minutes, by so many. Incredible fails to describe it really.  Field of 30 to 40 starters usually.  Near best horse on the planet, if you win that one. Send Leaderboard over and give it a go I reckon.   
    • Those Aintree fences are a lot different to the Aussie ones. A horse like Captains Run would be good at Aintree.
    • Charting a course by declaring 'here be dragons' when she made land in the seaside oval winner's circle, Explora (Blame–Collections Choice, by Bernardini) set sail from the gate and never looked back in a maiden-breaking performance on Sunday which earned her a 'TDN Rising Star' flag for her top mast. The heavy favorite established her lead up the backstretch and tacked around the far turn like she had even pulled out her pocket handkerchiefs. With rider Juan Hernandez playing the role of bonsun, Explora went easy en route to win by a comfortable 4 3/4 lengths over Revera (Lexitonian). The winner is her dam's last registered foal of record. Out of MGISP Model (Giant's Causeway), Collections Choice (Bernardini) was sent to Korea in 2024. Explora's extended female family includes Irish Group 1 winner Preseli (Ire) (Caerleon). Blame's most recent 'TDN Rising Stars' were Mucho in 2018 and Nadal in 2020. 2nd-Del Mar, $80,000, Msw, 8-17, 2yo, f, 5 1/2f, 1:03.15, ft, 4 3/4 lengths.
