    • Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 14:33, PRIX GERALD DE GEOFFRE-G3, €73,200, 3yo, 15fT Field: Quinteplus (Fr) (Telecaster {GB}), Allure (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}), Emit (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Hotheaded (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Espoir Avenir (Fr) (Montmartre {Fr}), Arnay Le Duc (Fr) (Sageburg {Ire}), Zingaro (Fr) (Kingman {GB}). TDN Analysis: Andre Fabre has a record nine renewals of this former Prix de Lutece already in the books and the maestro sends forth two here. Godolphin's Hotheaded should have the measure of stablemate Allure, with the pair finishing first and third in this month's Prix Michel Houyvet, and will be a warm order for this return to pattern-race level. The Fabre duo was split by Zingaro in that 15-furlong Deauville contest, with his Christophe Ferland stablemate Espoir Avenir back in fourth. Hotheaded's chief danger is the Joseph O'Brien-conditioned Listed Marble City Stakes victor Emit, who is upped in trip once again. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 17:00, PRIX D'ARENBERG-G3, €73,200, 2yo, 5fT Field: Afjan (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}), Graft (Ire) (U S Navy Flag), Pen And Sword (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Wateen (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}), Hollywood Treasure (Ire) (Gregorian {Ire}), Souful Diva (Ire) (Soldier's Call {GB}), Stargazed (GB) (Zoustar {Aus}), Havana Anna (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Jeudixx (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Shine On Me (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}). TDN Analysis: Havana Anna's maiden form bears the closest scrutiny and the Donnacha O'Brien trainee engineered a stunning breakout in last month's Listed Marwell Stakes at Naas. With more than half the field shipping in from overseas, Hollywood Treasure shares top billing at the head of a foreign contingent which has made off with seven of the last nine editions. Overcoming traffic for a clear-cut debut verdict in April, she caught the eye with a comeback win in this month's Listed St Hugh's Stakes and rates an obvious threat. Shine On Me's G2 Cherry Hinton fourth behind Venetian Sun has gained lustre in recent days and she holds Wateen, Graft and Pen And Sword on their running in this month's Listed Prix de la Vallee d'Auge. Ripon maiden winner Stargazed, lining up for Karl Burke, should not be discounted and G3 Prix de Cabourg runner-up Afjan heads the home resistance. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Baden-Baden, Germany, post time: 14:35, 155TH CASINO BADEN-BADEN GOLDENE PEITSCHE-G3, €70,000, 3yo/up, 6fT Field: Danelo (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), Kylian (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), National Service (Fr) (Elusive City), Schutzenzauber (Ger) (Amaron {GB}), Shootout (Ire) (Areion {Ger}), Vicious Harry (Fr) (Harry Angel {Ire}), Zerostress (Ger) (Areion {Ger}), Arabie (GB) (Dandy Man {Ire}), Dhitjari (GB) (Mehmas {Ire}), The Strikin Viking (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire}), War Bride (Ire) (Soldier's Call {GB}). TDN Analysis: The day-two highlight of Baden-Baden's “Grosse Woche” has drawn an equal split of home defenders and foreign raiders. Zerostress notched a rare domestic success in 2023 and was too good for Schutzenzauber, Kylian, Dhitjari and Danelo in this month's Listed Hoppegartener Fliegerpreis. Last term's G1 Prix Morny fourth and Karl Burke nominee Arabie has performed with credit in all five black-type starts since and tuned up for this with a runner-up finish in last month's Listed Prix Kistena at Deauville. He holds solid claims along with last term's G2 Railway Stakes and G2 Richmond Stakes runner-up The Strikin Viking, who was last seen hitting the board in this month's Listed Queensferry Stakes at Chester. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Tipperary, post time: 16:00, COOLMORE STUD NO NAY NEVER FAIRY BRIDGE STAKES-G3, €36,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 7f 110yT Field: Snellen (Ire) (Expert Eye {GB}), Germanese (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Mallavelly (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), Mataariki (Fr) (Cracksman {GB}), Princess Child (Fr) (Dariyan {Fr}), Queen Of Thunder (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Copacabana Sands (Ire) (Sands Of Mali {Fr}), Celestial Orbit (GB) (No Nay Never), Chantez (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Fingerpaint (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Sweet Chariot (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). TDN Analysis: Copacabana Sands has a penalty to carry for her win in the G3 Ballycorus Stakes, but is progressing fast and will be one of the favourites in a renewal in which the three-year-olds look to hold the aces. Not seen since finishing down the field in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, the Nell Gwyn runner-up Celestial Orbit adds intrigue along with Juddmonte's Curragh maiden winner Fingerpaint.

    • Off the mark by eight lengths over six furlongs at The Curragh earlier this month, Ballydoyle's Mission Central (No Nay Never) came back to the same course and distance to collect Saturday's G3 Heider Family Stables Round Tower Stakes. Always in control on the front end under Wayne Lordan, the 11-8 favourite kept finding to score by 3/4 of a length from The Publican's Son (Beau Liam). “Wayne said he was still green. He said he was there at halfway and he was waiting,” Aidan O'Brien said. “He said he has a lot of natural speed. He learned a bit today, he had to get down and knuckle down. I'd say he's quick, five would be no problem to him and that's slow ground.” “Wayne said he felt he was only hacking and the lads in the race felt they were flying, that's the sign of a speed horse,” he added. “I suppose he could be a Flying Childers type of horse, he's very fast and I'd imagine that's the type of horse he is.”   The post No Nay Never’s Mission Central On Top In The Round Tower appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Unbeaten in four starts but absent since the Listed Prix Petite Etoile in December, Lady Of Spain (Phoenix Of Spain) was back with a bang on Saturday as she added Sandown's G3 Atalanta Stakes to her tally. Giving generously to Ray Dawson to subdue Blue Bolt (Blue Point) close home, the Roger Varian-trained 14-1 shot asserted to score by half a length. “Obviously she's not run for a while, had never been on turf and was encountering soft ground, so there were a lot of questions we asked of her and in fairness she answered all of them,” Dawson said. “She's handled conditions and the time off the track has been no problem, so she seems a proper filly.” The post Lady Of Spain Stretches Unbeaten Sequence In The Atalanta appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Stepping up off a debut sixth behind Composing to win at Leopardstown last month, Philip Antonacci's Queen Of Hawaii (Kingman) continued the progression to take Saturday's G3 Newtownanner Stud Irish EBF Stakes at The Curragh. Sent off the 100-30 second favourite for the mile contest, registered as the Flame of Tara, the Joseph O'Brien-trained €250,000 Goffs Orby Book 1 purchase swamped Moments Of Joy (Justify) approaching the final furlong en route to a 2 1/4-length success. “She was very well bought by Philip Antonacci at Goffs and won her maiden well. We thought she was a smart filly and you come here to find out,” the winning trainer said. “She looks very smart and you'd have to be excited about her. She went through the line strong and Dylan [Browne McMonagle] said that she always feels like there is more in the locker.” “I'd imagine that she'll either go for the Goffs Million or Fillies Mile in Newmarket,” he added. “We could also look at the Moyglare. When she won her maiden at a mile, we were looking at coming back to seven and having a look at the Goffs Million. We'll see how she pulls up and discuss it with Philip and see. She'll be heading for a Group 1 if it's not the Million.” The post Kingman’s Queen Of Hawaii On Top In The Flame Of Tara appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Ryan Moore is set to miss the rest of the current campaign after Aidan O'Brien revealed that he has suffered a leg fracture. Wayne Lordan takes over the Curragh rides on Saturday, with the trainer explaining, “Ryan had been struggling with his right leg since after the Irish Derby. They initially thought it might have been muscles or ligaments, but he had a scan yesterday and they found a fracture in his femur.” “Obviously, he has no choice but to give it time and that's the way it will be,” he added. “I don't know how long he will be, whether he'll be one, two or three months but Ryan will know when it's right and will get it scanned regularly to see if it is healing, so we'll go from there.” “The femur is obviously the biggest bone in your body and they said it was lucky it didn't break, because it was that bad. He is an amazing man really to have been able to keep going with it. He might have aggravated it when riding a filly of ours in Germany recently so obviously had no choice but to get it checked and it is 100% the right thing. He is perfect, is a professional and is made of concrete, so will be back.”   The post Ryan Moore Suffers Fracture, Out For The Season appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
