    • FOX broadcast network will provide television coverage of the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup from Saratoga Race Course Sunday, August 31, NYRA announced Thursday. Additionally, a special edition of Saratoga Live presented by Caesars Sportsbook will air on FOX from 1-2 p.m. To allow for national broadcast viewership, Jockey Club Gold Cup Day will feature a first post time of 11:20 a.m. The Jockey Club Gold Cup, which offers a “Win and You're In” berth to the GI Breeders' Cup Classic in November at Del Mar, has attracted an all-star list of nominations, including last year's Breeders' Cup Classic-winner Sierra Leone (Gun Runner); GI Stephen Foster-winner Mindframe (Constitution); and multiple Grade I-winner White Abarrio (Race Day). “This is another example of FOX Sports' commitment to showcasing the best events in horse racing on their biggest platform,” said Tony Allevato, NYRA Chief Revenue Officer. “The Jockey Club Gold Cup could be one of the great races of the year, and we appreciate FOX Sports featuring the race before a national audience.”   The post FOX To Broadcast Saratoga’s Jockey Club Gold Cup appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

A 750,000gns purchase at Tattersalls October Book 1, Godolphin's newcomer gets the Billy Loughnane treatment as he teams up with the Charlie Appleby stable again in the absence of William Buick on duty at York.

    • Having won the Oaks and Irish Oaks, Minnie Hauk (Frankel) completed the heralded treble on Thursday in the G1 Yorkshire Oaks with the minimum of fuss. Held up behind as Wayne Lordan set the tempo on the Ribblesdale winner Garden Of Eden (Saxon Warrior), the 8-15 favourite moved up to take control two out and draw away from her main rival Estrange (Night Of Thunder) for a resounding 3 1/2-length success. “She's very straightforward and professional and does everything very smooth,” Ryan Moore said of the winner, who also won the Listed Cheshire Oaks in May and was rounding off a rare set of races with that title. “She put the race to bed when I asked her and the last furlong was easy. She does what you ask her to do and with the higher tempo and nice track and ground today she was able to show more, but she's always been very good.” Aidan O'Brien, who was registering a record-equalling ninth Yorkshire Oaks success, has the Arc in mind for the winner who he believes was compromised by the way the race panned out. “Wayne set lovely fractions [on Garden Of Eden], but Ryan couldn't follow as close as he would have liked as the other filly [Qilin Queen] got between them and we feel there is probably more to come still when the pace is strong and even,” he explained. “She's made like a miler, not like a typical middle-distance filly but gets this trip well and is a very good mover so we always thought that fast ground would suit her,” the master of Ballydoyle added. “She could go to an Arc or a Breeders' Cup Turf–all those things are open and we know ease in the ground doesn't matter. When these fillies are improving at this time of year you never know what will happen.” Estrange's rider Danny Tudhope said, “It went as we thought, she travelled lovely and settled well and I thought I had half a chance when I loomed to Ryan, but Minnie Hauk just went away from me quite easily and probably outstayed me. This ground was fine for her, maybe she could come back in trip again.”   The post ‘It Was Very Smooth’: No Worries For Moore As Minnie Hauk Completes Oaks Treble appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Clive Cox's love affair with York's Harry's Half Million By Goffs showed no signs of abating after Middleham Park Racing's Song Of The Clyde (Sergei Prokofiev) delivered a third straight edition of the valuable contest for the trainer. “Harry Beeby was a good friend of mine, it's such a good incentive and even better to win it three times running,” said Cox. “He had a bit of size and scope as a yearling and we've always liked him. He's got a wonderful mind and it was really pleasing when he won at Chester. He ran well with a penalty at Newbury and the drier ground helped him here. He's not just about the sales races, we'll see how he comes back and he'll have a bright future from here.” Racing in a prominent third after a swift getaway, the 15-2 chance seized control approaching the final furlong and was driven out in the closing stages to prevail by 3/4-of-a-length from 66-1 outsider Boston Dan (Ardad).   The post Song Of The Clyde Delivers Third Straight Harry’s Half Million For Clive Cox appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
