Coming back to the scene of her debut win over this trip last month, Rabbit's Foot (Fr) (Golden Horde {Ire}) followed up in Sunday's Listed Prix Caravelle to suggest bigger and better things are ahead. Always happy tracking the front duo, the Francois Rohaut-trained half-sister to last year's G2 Prix d'Harcourt winner and G1 Prince of Wales's Stakes runner-up Zarakem (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}) took control approaching the furlong pole en route to an authoritative 1 1/2-length success from Ginalyah (Ire) (Chachnak {Fr}). The unraced dam, whose 2-year-old filly by Victor Ludorum (GB) was a €75,000 purchase by Meridian International at Arqana Deauville August, is out of the G3 Prix Allez France runner-up Harem Lady (Fr) (Teofilo {Ire}). The third dam Luminosity (GB) (Sillery) was responsible for the GIII Dixiana Bourbon Stakes winner Keep Quiet (Fr) (Elusive City) and the GII San Clemente Handicap winner Little Treasure (Fr) (Night Shift). Little Treasure produced the GII La Canada Stakes winner and GI Clement L. Hirsch Stakes, GI Santa Margarita Stakes and GI Vanity Handicap-placed More Chocolate (Malibu Moon), whose son Mirahmadi (Into Mischief) was second in the GI Del Mar Futurity. This family also includes the group and graded-stakes scorers New York Girl (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}), Rhythm Of Light (GB) (Beat Hollow {GB}), Atomic Jones (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) and Go Athletico (Fr) (Goken {Fr}).

Sunday evening saw Coolmore Australia unveil its much-anticipated 2025 fees and roster, including three new Group 1-winning stallions in City Of Troy, Private Life (Aus) and Switzerland (Aus). It was also confirmed that Wootton Bassett (GB) will continue to shuttle, with a fee still to be announced. “Wootton Bassett is the hottest stallion in the world at the moment and he is already making an undeniable mark on the breed in Australia,” said Coolmore's Tom Magnier. “What is most exciting about him in an Australian context is that he has 100 unraced two-year-olds from his first crop and every trainer we speak to seems to have a good one. His fee is yet to be confirmed but will be announced in due course. We're just excited to have him back again, as we see him as a Champion Sire of the future in Australia.” Coolmore had already announced the arrival of G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes hero Switzerland at a fee of A$60,500, while European Horse of the Year City Of Troy is set to join Wootton Bassett in shuttling from County Tipperary. It was revealed last month that the four-time Group 1 winner will stand for a fee of A$49,500. Completing the trio of newcomers is the G1 Caulfield Guineas winner Private Life, who has been introduced at a fee of A$19,250. “Private Life is not only an immensely talented colt, but one of the best-looking stallions we have had in the barn at Jerry's Plains in my time,” said Coolmore Australia's racing manager, John Kennedy. “He is an absolute standout and breeders are going to love him when they see him. If he leaves stock that look like himself, breeders can expect a quick return. “The [Chris] Waller stable always knew that he had serious Group 1 ability and that was clear when he defeated Feroce and Broadsiding in the Caulfield Guineas, but he also got within 1.2l of Sunshine In Paris in the Champions Sprint where he should have finished much closer and beat home horses like Giga Kick and Overpass.” Of the other stallions on the 13-strong roster, Home Affairs (Aus) is the most expensive at an unchanged fee of A$82,500, ahead of Shinzo (Aus), So You Think (NZ) and another shuttle stallion in St Mark's Basilica (Fr). Shinzo and St Mark's Basilica both remain at their 2024 fees at A$55,000 and A$38,500, respectively, while So You Think has dropped from A$77,000 to A$44,000. Magnier added, “The 2025 Coolmore Australia stallion roster is one of immense quality, that we are extremely proud to offer to breeders throughout Australia and New Zealand. We thought long and hard when setting our fees this year, with a strong focus on offering value to breeders. We understand that people are doing it tough, but we want to work with them and see them prosper.” The post Wootton Bassett to Shuttle Again as Coolmore Australia Announce 2025 Fees appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Immediacy returned to winning form on Saturday, with the Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained four-year-old powering home in the Enchanted Adventure Handicap (2000m) at Mornington. (Photo: Bruno Cannatelli) The Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained four-year-old Immediacy was back in the winner’s circle with a strong win at Mornington on Saturday. The gelded son of Tarzino was a Group Two winner at three and has built towards another raceday victory. Ridden by Michael Dee, Immediacy was put into the race, settling one out and one back and went on to score by 1.5 lengths from Foujita San with Golden Crusader back in third. Immediacy came into the race off a solid fresh-up sixth over a mile at Flemington and covered the 2000m in a slick 2:03.09. “We were confident he could win,” stable representative Darren Saunders said. “He was very good first up at Flemington and stepped up to the 2000m but still with some improvement in him. “There are nice races coming up in South Australia and we will assess in a few days and then find something for him.” Winning rider Michael Dee ensured Immediacy had every opportunity to reward his backers who supported Immediacy into a $2.80 favourite with horse racing bookmakers. “He showed me a lot as we wanted to be one off the fence and in a position where we could use his momentum,” Dee said. “He came off the bridle coming down the side and I wasn’t sure just how well we were going but he really built through his gears and he was strong to the line. “I popped out and took about 100m to wind up but on the bend I knew at that point the race was ours but also keeping in mind he was only second up at 2000m so there is plenty more in store going forward. “He pulled up having a nice healthy blow so there is plenty of improvement to come as he goes through his grades.” Horse racing news View the full article -

Kiwi filly Movin Out powers home in Mornington Guineas. (Photo: Bruno Cannatelli) Kiwi-bred filly Movin Out made a successful switch from Sydney racing to a tilt at Victorian riches when she came from well back to race to a dominant victory in the Mornington Guineas (1600m) on Saturday. The three-year-old daughter of Novara Park- stallion Staphanos originally began her career out of the Bill Thurlow stable at Waverley where she broke maiden status at her second start before finishing a meritorious third in the Group 1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) behind Captured By Love and Alabama Lass at her third and final New Zealand run. Subsequently purchased by thoroughbred powerhouse Yulong, the filly joined Chris Waller’s operation in Sydney where she ran an eye-catching fourth first up in the Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes (1500m) before dropping out to finish last in the Group 1 Vinery Stakes (2000m) behind Treasure The Moment. Sent south by Waller, Movin Out was having just her third Australian outing on Saturday and she showed just what she is made off as she buried her rivals with a powerful home straight surge in the hands of Ben Melham to power away with the Guineas by more than two lengths. Waller stable representative Lizzie Collett was delighted with the filly who has already shown the stable she has a few tricks up her sleeve, both on and off the track. “She only arrived Monday morning with us but she travelled down well,” Collett said. “She is a fairly quirky character and I think the Sydney stable would agree with that, but she did everything right today as she was quiet and relaxed, and you couldn’t fault her in the mounting yard. “I was happy with the way she settled and she just did everything perfectly and next week we hope to back her up and go to Adelaide for the (Australasian) Oaks (Group 1, 2000m).” Melham was taken by the run and is keen to stick with the filly if she makes it to Adelaide. “She was very good and has been running in the right races where she was very unlucky in that first start in a slowly run race,” he said. “She got it all wrong in the Vinery but she has good ability and is still learning. She’s very aggressive and was much better today. You just have to switch her off and you can see the turn of foot she has. “I wasn’t happy to come around the lot of them but she had a class edge on them and when she relaxed, I was happy to take luck out of the equation and she was too good. “I would definitely ride her in Adelaide as she is more than good enough to win as long as she can get some tempo in the race.” Horse racing news View the full article
