The International Thoroughbred Breeders' Federation (ITBF) has announced the launch of its Stud Farm Supporters initiative. In a move to help meet the not-for-profit organisation's increased running costs, several individual Thoroughbred stud farms from across the globe are donating to ensure the continued vital work and achievements of the ITBF. As the sole international representative body for Thoroughbred breeders, ITBF currently serves the Thoroughbred breeding organisations, and the individual members within, of 29 member countries across six continents. ITBF Stud Farm Supporters include Coolmore (global), Godolphin's breeding operation, Darley (global), Juddmonte (global), Shadwell (Europe), Lanwades (Europe), Arrowfield (Australia), Northern Farm (Japan), Usha Stud (India) and the National Stud (England), as well as support in South America. The ITBF's CEO, Sarah Carmichael, said “The ITBF crucially speaks for, and acts on behalf of Thoroughbred breeders, ensuring that the voice of breeders is heard and responded to on the global stage. “Our industry faces more challenges than ever before and requires unfaltering representation at the highest level. The ITBF has an ever-evolving remit, and with that, our running costs have naturally increased in tandem. “We are delighted at the positive response from 'ITBF Stud Farm Supporters' who have so generously shown their appreciation of the ITBF's vital work in representing 'breeding' within the wider Thoroughbred industry, the equine world, at governmental and supra governmental levels.” She added, “We are enormously grateful to the stud farms who have contributed to help meet our needs. The ITBF, of course, does remain resolutely neutral in representing all breeders equally, across all member nations.” The post The ITBF Launches Stud Farm Supporters Initiative appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The Goffs QIPCO British Champions Day Sale returns to Ascot Racecourse on Saturday, with a pair of promising two-year-olds set to go under the hammer before the richest day in the British racing calendar gets underway. Opening Saturday's sale is the Showcasing colt Generous Rascal (lot 1), who broke his maiden on his second and most recent start at Kempton earlier this month. A half-brother to Juddmonte's G1 Dewhurst Stakes and G1 2,000 Guineas hero Chaldean (Frankel), who now stands as a stallion at Banstead Manor Stud, Generous Rascal will be sold by trainer Oliver Cole's Whatcombe Racing with an entry in the Listed Criterium de Vitesse at Deauville. The filly Birdcall (lot 2) follows, an impressive four-length winner on her recent debut at Nottingham. Consigned by Ollie Sangster Racing, the daughter of in-form sire Night Of Thunder hails from the family of Group 1 winners such as Dream Of Dreams, Airwave, Churchill and Clemmie. She will be sold with an entry in the Listed Bosra Sham Stakes at Newmarket. Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby said, “The Goffs QIPCO British Champions Day Sale hit the headlines when selling Rogue Lightning for £1,000,000 in 2023 and it's wonderful to partner with Ascot Racecourse again as part of Britain's richest race day. “This sale is very much in keeping with the 'right time, right place' ethos of our hugely successful Goffs London Sale which has been the curtain raiser to Royal Ascot for over a decade and has offered many top-class horses over the years including current recent Group 1 winners Woodshauna, Lazzat and Red Lion. “Generous Rascal and Birdcall are both London Sale calibre horses as they have a huge amount of potential, and we look forward to selling them before racing from Ascot's iconic winners' podium.” Both horses will be offered with 5% agent's commission and have been vetted. Veterinary Certificates are available to view online, along with conformation photos and videos.

TATTERSALLS, ENGLAND – The young pinhookers behind the 450,000gns Minzaal filly that lit up Book 2 will face an interesting proposition when they return to school on Tuesday given the teenagers each walked out of Tattersalls on Monday with more money than their teachers will earn in a year. Fionn White (16) and brothers Jack (17) and Max Galway (13), whose father Richie is racing manager at Punchestown and son-in-law of Jessica Harrington, will do well to ignore sales catalogues for school books from this day on given the three whippersnappers turned their €85,000 investment into more than €500,000 at the current exchange rate. There are some things you can't learn in a classroom and for White, who operates under Clunemore Lodge Stud, this was not his first rodeo given he sold a Gleneagles colt for 230,000gns at this sale last year. He has sourced the colt for just €36,000 as a foal. In the case of lot 668, who was knocked down to Karl Burke for 450,000gns, the Baroda Stud-drafted Minzaal filly benefited from a major pedigree update given the sister, Saratoga Special (Mehmas), won a Listed race for trainer Jessica Harrington. Shortly after the hammer fell, Harrington's daughter and assistant trainer Kate joked that, 'There was more pressure on Saratoga Special than any other horse in the yard this year!' However, while White might only be 16, he doesn't do pressure and took the life-changing sum in his stride. “[I] didn't expect it all,” he cooly said. “[I] can't get over it – can't even put it into words. Jack, Max and I went around the foal sales together. Jack and Max had to go back to school but, because I was in transition year, I had the year off and spent that with Baroda Stud. I really liked her as a foal so I followed her in. I rang Richard to ask him how Saratoga Special was getting on and he told me that she was very nice and would win this year. Saratoga Special won a Listed race – it always helps, doesn't it?” Asked if he felt any emotion as the bidding climbed, White added, “The sweat was pumping out of me. I can't really put it into words. We're going back to school tomorrow. Last year I had a Gleneagles that made 230,000gns and I bought him for €36,000 so that was nice as well.” Saratoga Special won a Listed contest over the minimum trip at Ayr back in June. The dam, Chiclet (Dandy Man), was similarly speedy and reached a rating of 100 for trainer Tracey Collins. She has produced another highly-rated runner in Turn On The Jets (Mehmas) and Burke was not going to get beaten on the latest offering from the mare. He said, “She is lovely sort – vetted well and I am delighted to get her. We have bought a couple by the sire and a few months back now Jim Cowley, who used to ride Minzaal, said that he was a lovely, laid-back horse and recommended the progeny to us. I have been impressed by them. She has been bought for an owner in the yard. I did not think that she would get to that amount. It is a lot of money – hopefully she can run!” The post You Won’t Learn That At School! – Teenage Pinhookers Make Half-A-Million At Tattersalls appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Group 1-winning juvenile and Classic hero Camille Pissarro will stand at Coolmore Stud in Fethard, Ireland for the 2026 breeding season, following in the footsteps of his late sire, Wootton Bassett. Bred by James Cloney, Camille Pissarro was bought by MV Magnier and White Birch Farm for 1,250,000gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. A half-brother to the G1 Commonwealth Cup-winning sire Golden Horde (Lethal Force), he ran seven times as a two-year-old and saved his best performance for last when emulating Wootton Bassett with his victory in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on Arc weekend. He also filled the runner-up spot on three occasions, including when beaten just a head by this year's G1 Flying Five Stakes winner Arizona Blaze (Sergei Prokofiev) in the G3 Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh. Returning in March this year with another runner-up finish in the Listed Gladness Stakes at the last-named venue, Camille Pissarro then returned to ParisLongchamp for the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains where he finished third behind stablemate Henri Matisse (Wootton Bassett), before justifying favouritism with a comfortable success in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly. Last seen finishing fourth in July's G1 Coral-Eclipse at Sandown, he was retired shortly afterwards due to a fissure fracture which was found in his fetlock. The Group 1 scorers Camille Pissarro and Golden Horde feature among eight winners from nine runners out of the winning Pivotal mare Entreat, with the others including the Listed Cathedral Stakes victor Line Of Departure (Mehmas) and the Listed Pipalong Stakes heroine Exhort (Dutch Art). Entreat, in turn, is out of the Irish River mare River Saint, a half-sister to the legendary Serena's Song (Rahy), who won 11 Grade I races in America and was an outstanding producer in her own right. Coolmore's David O'Loughlin said, “Camille Pissarro is a huge addition to our roster. Wootton Bassett is obviously a tremendous loss for us all, but we can be very confident that Camille Pissarro will follow in his father's footsteps. He is made very much in his father's image, arguably even better looking, according to a lot of the judges! Like his father, he won the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere but went on to add the renowned sire-making Prix du Jockey Club. He has a pedigree stacked with Group 1-speed but managed to carry that speed over 10 and a half furlongs.” Camille Pissarro's stud fee for 2026 will be announced in due course.

Mike Campbell's gut told him he would follow the lead of his grandfather and father by becoming a trainer. The former jockey never anticipated the awful turn that would lead him to that second career and, now, a second trip to the Breeders' Cup.View the full article
