Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman's EXPLORA (f, 2, Blame–Collections Choice, by Bernardini) atoned for a runner-up effort to her stablemate Bottle of Rouge (Vino Rosso) in the GI Del Mar Debutante with a comprehensive success in Saturday's GII Oak Leaf Stakes, a 'Win and You're In' qualifier for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar on Friday, Oct. 31. Named a 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard when romping in her 5 1/2-furlong debut at Del Mar Aug. 17 and fractionally disappointing after making the running in the Debutante, the 2-5 chalk, getting the blinkers off this time, was trapped out a bit wide at the first corner and had no choice but to punch the breeze three wide as 'Rising Star' stable companion Himika (Curlin) showed the way through a half in :46.98. Felt for by Juan Hernandez at the three-eighths pole, Explora raced upsides of Himika at the head of the stretch and she kicked on nicely through the final furlong to take it by about five lengths. Debutante third La Wally (Constitution) rounded out the exacta ahead of longshot La Ville Lumiere (City of Light). Sales history: $22,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP; $350,000 2yo '25 FTMMAY. Lifetime Record: 3-2-1-0.

RyZan Sun Racing LLC and Madaket Stables's Mission of Joy (m, 5, Kitten's Joy–Smart Mission, by Smart Strike), whose last graded win was two years ago, moved west this summer to Phil D'Amato's barn and must like the weather and the firm turf that's a hallmark of California grass racing. In her third California start, she captured Saturday's GII Rodeo Drive Stakes at Santa Anita, a 'Win and You're In' for the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf in four weeks. It was a clean start for the field, with Alpha Bella (Justify) setting a :23.63 and :48.44 pace and a 1:37.36 mile while Mission of Joy took her time covered up near the back of the field. Coming into the lane, Mission of Joy tipped to the extreme outside, passing all late while Speed Shopper (Quality Road) and Starry Heavens (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) finished second and third, respectively. Watchtower (Demarchelier {GB}) was pulled up on the backstretch.

By Adam Hamilton The Aussie raid on New Zealand Cup Week is looking more imposing by the day. Four confirmed raiders and possibly even a fifth, headed by champion Leap To Fame, impressively won lead-up races last night (Saturday). Having his first start since snaring his second Inter Dominion title on July 19, Leap To Fame cruised to victory over stablemates Aroda and Free Thinker in a 2138m free-for-all at Albion Park. The six-year-old was nursed to the line by trainer-driver Grant Dixon to win by 6.5m in a 1min53.9sec mile rate and ripped home in 54.7 and 26.3sec. Leap To Fame now heads straight into Saturday week’s $250,000 Group 1 Victoria Cup, the only historic Aussie major race to have so far escaped him. His stranglehold on Victoria Cup favouritism tightened even further when arch-rival and sibling Swayzee suffered a shock defeat at Menangle last night. Swayzee, who eased from $1.10 to $1.65, worked to the front, but was stalked by the emerging four-year-old Kingman, who easily ran him down late. It’s Swayzee’s second defeat in as many runs this campaign and raises doubts whether the mighty stayer and winner of the past two NZ Cups has come back as well as a rising eight-year-old. Much interest will now focus on whether he heads to Saturday week’s Victoria Cup, a race he won so brilliantly in Leap To Fame’s absence last year. The exciting Kingman is definitely Victoria Cup-bound. “Absolutely. He’s the new kid on the block,” owner Mick Harvey said. “We’re up for all the big races now. We think the world of him.” At Melton, the NZ-bound pair Tracy The Jet and Gatesys Gem – both with slots in The Ascent – won well. It was Gatesys Gem’s first run back from a spell, while Tracy The Jet made it five wins on end with an effortless display in the Group 1 Need For Speed Princess final. They are headed for a clash in the Group 1 Victoria Trotters’ Oaks on Saturday week. “We’re still in need of racing compared to Tracy The Jet, so I might back my mare up again next week,” Gatesys Gem’s trainer Glenn Hunter said. The “NZ watch” is growing on brilliant young Victorian trotting mare Jilliby Ballerini, too. She won her ninth race from just 11 starts this season and claimed some big names in the process in the Group 3 Australasian Trotting Championship. Having her first start from a stand, Jilliby Ballerini began well and worked around to take the lead early. Inter Dominion and TAB Trot winner Arcee Phoenix came around off his 20m handicap to sit parked, but Jilliby Ballerini left him standing on the home bend. She roared away to win by 20.7m in unheard of times for a trotter. The closing splits were 54.4 and 26.7sec. Arcee Phoenix battled away into fourth spot. “There’s a chance she (Jilliby Ballerini) could go to NZ. It’s likely we’ll take one, but Keayang Zahara is back at the races next week, too,” driver Jason Lee said. Also at Melton, eight-time Group 1 winner Catch A Wave returned to his best form in time for the Victoria Cup with a dominant front-running win in the $30,000 Casey Classic. He ran a brisk 1min53.9sec mile rate for the 2240m and dazzled home in 54.2 and 27.3sec. At Menangle, the underrated trotter Parisian Artiste showed he was on target for NZ with a dazzling 1min54.3sec mile win at his second run back from a spell. View the full article
