Shes Perfect, demoted to second in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches earlier this season, has not completely healed from her July setback and will be rested the remainder of the year, according to Basher Watts who heads her ownership syndicate. The daughter of Sioux Nation, a debut winner at Haydock in two starts last term, was second in the April's G3 Prix de la Grotte to Zarigana (Siyouni), who benefitted from Shes Perfect's disqualification in the Pouliches. The Charlie Fellowes trainee, who is nicknamed Sue, was most recently ninth in the G1 Prix de Diane. Watts released a statement on X on Friday that said, “Unfortunately we won't see Sue again on a racecourse in 2025, the area of concern did show further signs of worry, so we've taken the decision to have the rest of the year off. She's absolutely fine and this will not affect her career moving forward. As always, the horse comes first, and this was the right move for her. “Myself and all the other owners really appreciate all of the support, comments and messages and it's special to see how much she is loved by everyone. “She'll stay at Fellowes Racing for another two weeks before having a further X-ray and will then go on her holidays for the rest of the year. “My word, it's been some season with her, I can't wait to see her back in 2026.” The post Pouliches Second Shes Perfect To Be Rested, Will Return In 2026 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Thanks for the bakery story, especially like that you mentioned the M2 Escort, brings back memories. But really, the TAB & Betcha is still selling the same cream buns, set up different accounts and while Betcha was specifically set up for younger sports punters, they offer me far more racing offers than TAB. So Betcha was the Ace card, so many offers to punters, deposit match etc…. so whats gonna happen in another 12 months? -

That might be what you "meant" but you didn't explicitly state that. As I pointed out 2 of the five did arguably "go on with it". At least 3 of the 5 had injuries or conditions that limited their careers. Both In The Bubbles and Velocious had wind issues that didn't respond to treatment. Tokyo Tycoon had leg issues although did win the El Roca as a three year old. Arguably his career may have been different if he wasn't disqualified from his Sistema Grp 1 win by an unfortunate accidental positive. Cool Aza Beel has gone on to do it in the breeding barn. The first son of the mighty Savabeel to sire a Grp 1 winner. I guess it all depends on how you measure "success". If we look deeper into the Velocious KM win we see a very deep field containing a number of horses that HAVE gone on with it. The likes of Damask Rose, Bellatrix Star and Savaglee. Some go on and some don't. Some crops are stronger than others. Fir example the 2023 crop seems to have been exceptional. -

In this continuing series, we take a look ahead at US-bred and/or conceived runners entered for the upcoming weekend at the tracks on the Japan Racing Association circuit, with a focus on pedigree and/or performance in the sales ring. Here are the horses of interest for this weekend running at Chukyo and Niigata Racecourses: Saturday, August 16, 2025 2nd-CKO, ¥14,250,000 ($97k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1200mT YUTO THE INNOCENT (c, 2, Yaupon–Keira, by Unusual Heat), a $42,000 Keeneland September yearling, fetched $110,000 at this year's OBS March sale after breezing a furlong in a solid :10 1/5. The Apr. 4 foal looks to become the sixth winner from six runners for his unraced dam, a full-sister to GSW Majestic Heat; MSW & GISP Mensa Heat; MSP Real Heat; and Phi Beta Heat, the dam of SW & GSP Rye (English Channel). The colt's yearling half-brother by Cyberknife sells as hip 2845 through Catherine Parke's Valkyre Stud at Keeneland September next month. O-Ayana Suzuki; B-River Oak Farm & M Auerbach LLC (KY); T-Ken Kozaki 5th-NII, ¥14,250,000 ($97k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1400mT MITILINI (JPN) (f, 2, Tapit–Midnight Bisou, by Midnight Lute) is the first Japanese-foaled produce and second overall for her Eclipse Award-winning dam, owner of five Grade I victories and the promoted winner of the then-ungraded Saudi Cup in 2020. With a bankroll of nearly $14 million, Midnight Bisou first hammered for $5 million at Fasig-Tipton November in 2020 and topped the 2022 Keeneland November Sale with this filly in utero on Katsumi Yoshida's bid of $5.5 million. Just last month, the mare's colt by Japanese Horse of the Year Equinox (Jpn) fetched ¥580 million ($3,918,919) to top the JRHA Select Foal Sale on the island of Hokkaido. Mitilini was trading as the 6-1 fourth choice as of this writing. O-Sunday Racing Co Ltd; B-Northern Racing; T-Tomokazu Takano Sunday, August 17, 2025 2nd-NII, ¥14,250,000 ($97k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1400m KEEN SENSE (c, 2, Munnings–Canny, by Big Brown), a $200,000 Keeneland September graduate, is the third foal to the races for his stakes-placed dam, a full-sister to Grade III winner Send It In and a half to MSP Powder River (Mineshaft). Stonehaven Steadings consigns the colt's Justify half-brother (hip 1456) to KEESEP next month. A May 2 foal, the chestnut carries the Silk Racing colors and will be ridden by Ryusei Sakai.
