    • Counting Stars (Honor A. P.) opened her account at first asking with a four-length success at Churchill Sept. 25, but could not repeat the dose at short odds when a distant fifth in the Oct. 24 Myrtlewood Stakes at Keeneland. The bay bounced back in no uncertain terms with a four-length tally in the Astral Spa Stakes here just 13 days back, but was a warm item to handle the quick turnaround and added real estate. Ridden for a bit of speed from her wide draw, Counting Stars was trapped out deep into the first turn and was content to punch the breeze while not far from the pace through the middle furlongs. Allowed to stride into the lead midway on the second bend, the bay filly quickened up nicely and ran away from her rivals in the short stretch to win convincingly. Paynterbynumbers is the dam of a yearling filly by Epicenter and was not covered for 2026. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

    • Exactly mikey. The SRC is a racing club where the core business is racing.  How many other clubs have 100 marquees/tents pre-sold for a race meeting?  To me the $750K, even though like Sean said was originally a huge risk, is a real investment into their event.  The fact that their profit of $120K goes into stakes speaks volumes, and is exactly what NZTR has asked of clubs for a long time now.  How does anyone  know that none of that profit, or money gained by other means, doesn't go into track maintenance? A balance sheet is not the whole story either.  There are many factors making up a club's existence.  It is easy to make assumptions from what you see from the outside.  I can relate such perceptions of the most successful jumpouts in the country.  Yes, other entities would like a share of the profits.  The overheads to run any successful event are usually substantially more expensive than most would envisage.  You have to speculate to accumulate. Congratulations Southland.  What an example to other clubs!
    • Horse of the Year candidate and MGISW Sovereignty (Into Mischief) will return to racing in 2026. The news was confirmed by Godolphin's Michael Banahan in an interview Saturday with FanDuel TV. Questioned about the stable's star runner, Banahan told FanDuel's Caton Bredar that Sovereignty was “doing great”. “He's up in Kentucky at the moment,” Banahan said. “He's at Keeneland. He's galloping–doing fine. We'll probably get him down here to Payson [Park] early in the new year and get him [trainer] Bill [Mott]. Hopefully we'll have as a good a year as last year.” As a 3-year-old, Sovereignty earned over $5.6m, beginning his season with a win in the GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes. After running second to Tappan Street (Into Mischief) in the GI Curlin Florida Derby in April, Sovereignty would go undefeated the rest of the year, winning the GI Kentucky Derby, the GI Belmont Stakes, the GII Jim Dandy Stakes and the GI DraftKings Travers Stakes. He was training up to a start in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic last month when an ill-timed fever forced his scratch in California.   The post Sovereignty To Return In 2026 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
