In a desperate run to the finish, 6-1 shot ARGOS (c, 2, Nyquist–Athenian (Ire), by Acclamation {GB}) just outlasted a furious charge from European invader Wild Desert (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) to steal the bet365 Summer Stakes at Woodbine, a Win and You're In race for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar. The rail-drawn winner got first jump from mid pack around the far turn as the 8-5 favorite sat second to last most the running and was left with too much to do when the sprint for home started. Argos fanned out four wide at the furlong pole with Wild Desert still with eight horses to outrun and that pair, along with Two Out Hero (War Front), threw down in the final sixteenth with Argos denying Wild Desert narrowly. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-1. O-David S. Romanik; B-Green Lantern Stables, LLC; T-Riley Mott; Sales History: $10,000 ylg '24 FTKJUL, $165,000 2yo '25 OBSMAR.

Sunday, Curragh, post time: 16:25, COMER GROUP INTERNATIONAL IRISH ST LEGER-G1, €290,000, 3yo/up, 14fT Field: Al Qareem (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), Al Riffa (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Crystal Black (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), Dallas Star (Fr) (Cloth Of Stars {Ire}), Illinois (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Leinster (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Queenstown (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Waldadler (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Amiloc (GB) (Postponed {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Now that Al Riffa has proven his stamina for this trip with a clear-cut win in the G2 Curragh Cup, he holds obvious claims but last year's St Leger runner-up Illinois will be a tough nut to crack back at a trip that suits better than the marathon ones. The question is, can either live with the unbeaten three-year-old Amiloc, who gave a comprehensive beating to the Irish Champion hope Zahrann in the King Edward VII. He would be the first of his age group to win since 2019, but he is one of the best to have tried and gets eight pounds from his elders on ground he will relish. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Curragh, post time: 14:40, MOYGLARE STUD STAKES-G1, €240,000, 2yo, f, 7fT Field: Beautify (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Composing (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Pivotal Attack (GB) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Precise (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), SKydance (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Suzie Songs (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Venetian Sun (Ire) (Starman {GB}). TDN Analysis: Composing has done nothing wrong so far and it is probable that she will be able to complete the Silver Flash-Debutante-Moyglare treble here. Venetian Sun will have her own thoughts on that subject, but this will represent an entirely different test to Deauville's six-furlong Prix Morny. Her class cannot be questioned, but her stamina certainly can be especially if the ground is testing so this will answer some questions. Aidan O'Brien also has the G2 Airlie Stud Stakes and G3 Prestige Stakes winners Beautify and Precise and both are fascinating contenders, with the former bred to get a lot further than the six over which she put away Lady Iman last time. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Curragh, post time: 15:15, BAR ONE RACING FLYING FIVE STAKES-G1, €240,000, 3yo/up, 5fT Field: Art Power (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Bucanero Fuerte (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Erosandpsyche (Ire) (Sepoy {Aus}), Night Raider (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Two Stars (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Arizona Blaze (GB) (Sergei Prokofiev), Powerful Nation (Ire) (Sioux Nation), Whistlejacket (Ire) (No Nay Never), Asfoora (Aus) (Flying Artie {Aus}), Mgheera (GB) (Zoustar {Aus}), Nighteyes (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), She's Quality (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), Vadream (GB) (Brazen Beau {Aus}), Grande Marques (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Lady With The Lamp (Ire) (King Of Change {GB}), Saratoga Special (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Having won the Nunthorpe, Asfoora owes nobody anything and she has to do it all over again on this very different track. Amo Racing's duo have in their armoury the fact that they have excelled on it, with the Phoenix, Railway and Phoenix Sprint Stakes winner Bucanero Fuerte joining the Sapphire Stakes and Marble Hill winner Arizona Blaze. After Friday's Flying Childers, King Power and Tim Easterby are flying high but Ireland-lover Art Power could put the cherry on top if able to muster one of his big efforts, while the unexposed Two Stars warrants respect at a venue he clearly appreciates. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Curragh, post time: 15:50, GOFFS VINCENT O'BRIEN NATIONAL STAKES-G1, €240,000, 2yo, c/f, 7fT Field: Dorset (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Gstaad (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Italy (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), North Coast (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Saba Desert (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Zavateri (Ire) (Without Parole {GB}). TDN Analysis: In an era where genuine two-year-old stand-offs are becoming increasingly rare, thankfully this is a proper conundrum with none of the protagonists readily written off. Ballydoyle supply the Coventry winner and Morny runner-up Gstaad and two TDN Rising Stars Italy and Dorset and it is not a given that Soumillon is on the right one. Charlie Appleby has kept the Superlative winner Saba Desert back for this since Newmarket's July Festival and he treads the proven path of the yard's 2018 and 2021 winners Quorto and Native Trail, while the July and Vintage winner Zavateri is very much in the mix along with the Tyros scorer North Coast whose stable have won three of the last five renewals. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Curragh, post time: 17:00, MOYGLARE 'JEWELS' BLANDFORD STAKES-G2, €120,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 10fT Field: Apercu (Ire) (Elzaam {Aus}), Higher Leaves (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}), Naomi Lapaglia (GB) (Awtaad {Ire}), One Look (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Snellen (Ire) (Expert Eye {GB}), Ballet Slippers (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Barnavara (Ire) (Calyx {GB}), Merrily (No Nay Never), Red Letter (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Spicy Margarita (Ire) (Earthlight {Ire}), Tarima (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). TDN Analysis: One of the weekend's less high-profile contests but always fascinating in its own right, it features a clash between Wathnan's new acquisition One Look and Juddmonte's progressive Red Letter. Both come into this off career-best wins with confidence high, while the race's outlier is Ballydoyle's three-year-old Ballet Slippers who is having a strange seasonal debut having last been seen finishing third in the Fillies' Mile. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Doncaster, post time: 16:10, THE JAPAN RACING ASSOCIATION SCEPTRE FILLIES' STAKES-G3, £85,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 7f 6yT Field: Spiritual (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Arolla (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Bright Thunder (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Chic Colombine (Fr) (Seahenge), Circe (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), Fair Angellica (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire]), Fair Point (GB) (Farhh {GB}), Havana Pusey (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Jabaara (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus]), Lou Lou's Gift (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Queen's Reign (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Queen Of Mougins (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), Shuwari (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Stop The Cavalry (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Sunfall (GB) (Twilight Son {GB}), Bermuda Longtail (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Betty Clover (GB) (Time Test {GB}), Hey Boo (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), Miss Nightfall (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Third last year, Queen Of Mougins looked an improved performer on her seasonal bow in a Curragh handicap last month and is the current market-leader as a result. The 2023 Fillies' Mile runner-up Shuwari is on the way back judged on her latest win in the Listed Prix de la Cochere, while Lou Lou's Gift upped her game at Newbury last month and has the breeding to be Group-class. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 13:58, PRIX DU PETIT COUVERT-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, 5fT Field: Spartan Arrow (Ire) (Sioux Nation), Ponntos (Ire) (Power {GB}), Ciao Pa' (Fr) (Shamalgan {Fr}), Lesslepasser (Fr) (Penny's Picnic {Ire}), Burhan (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Monteille (GB) (Cable Bay {Ire}), Estepona (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}), Rayevka (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Czech speedster Ponntos makes a fourth pit-stop in this stepping stone to next month's G1 Prix de l'Abbaye and, as always, the focus will be on his ability to hold out from the front. If or when that veteran trailblazer stutters, G1 Commonwealth Cup third Rayevka and G3 Prix du Gros-Chene victrix Monteille are best-placed to take advantage. Both have finished close-up, albeit unplaced, in subsequent Group 1 contests and this should be a case of class will out. The Andre Fabre stable is firing on all cylinders and Burhan merits respect dropping down in trip. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 14:33, PRIX DU PRINCE D'ORANGE-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, 10fT Field: Bolster (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Daring Prince (GB) (Zarak {Fr}), Croix Du Nord (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Daryz (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Uthred (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}), Nahraan (GB) (Make Believe {GB}), Dumonet (Ire) (Soldier Hollow {GB}). TDN Analysis: John and Thady Gosden nurtured freshly minted World's Best Racehorse Rankings topper Ombudsman through wins in Deauville's Listed Prix Nureyev and the latest renewal of this contest last year, and attempt to repeat the dose with Nawara Stud homebred Nahraan, who bids to complete the same double this time around. His mettle will be tested by dual Group 1-winning Japanese superstar Croix Du Nord, who returns off a scintillating triumph in June's G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby), and is yet another representing a country eager for a first taste of G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe glory. Daryz floundered on quick ground when last of six home in York's G1 Juddmonte International and is better judged on his victory in June's G2 Prix Eugene Adam. Antoine Griezmann's homebred Uthred posted a confidence-boosting seven-length romp in July's Listed Prix Pelleas when last seen and is no back number. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 15:50, PRIX DU PIN-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, 7fT Field: King Gold (Fr) (Anodin {Ire}), Roshvar (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), Poet Master (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Divine Libra (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Siam Paragon (Fr) (Shalaa {Ire}), Omicrone (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Exxtra (Fr) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Stolen Kiss (Fr) (Chachnak {Fr}), Polyvega (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). TDN Analysis: This launchpad to Arc Weekend's G1 Prix de la Foret plays host to the comeback of Karl Burke trainee Poet Master, whose last-of-nine effort in March's Listed Gladness Stakes was his lone start since posting a close fifth in last year's Foret. He encounters a solid home defence, which includes Claire Stephenson's ultra-consistent Siam Paragon, who was a below par seventh in July's G3 Prix Messidor last time, 2023 G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest hero King Gold, the multiple Group 3-placed TDN Rising Star Polyvega and Aga Khan Studs homebred Roshvar, who returns off wide-margin wins at Clairefontaine and Dieppe. [Sean Cronin]. Monday, Marseille-Boreley, France, post time: 13:27, LA COUPE DE MARSEILLE-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, 10fT Field: Instant Fragile (Fr) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Aidan's Phone (Fr) (Prince Gibraltar {Fr}), Merano (Swi) (Vanishing Cupid {Swi}), Al Aali (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Dioptase (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Lakota Beau (Fr) (Sioux Nation), Master Cath (Fr) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), Paix Des Dames (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}), Thordis (Fr) (Earthlight {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Listed Prix Aymeri de Mauleon victor Instant Fragile and Listed Prix Francois Mathet scorer Aidan's Phone are the only black-type winners lining up in this competitive affair. Dangers include G3 Prix Greffulhe runner-up Dioptase, G3 Prix de Guiche second Al Aali and dual Listed runner-up Thordis. Of the others, Lakota Beau will head postward off the back of wins at Clairefontaine and La Teste, while July's Listed Prix Frederic de Lagrange fourth Master Cath has won five of his last seven starts.

Heider Family Stables' BARACCA (f, 2, Oscar Performance–Shop Again, by Wild Again) belied odds of 8-1 to score a good-looking victory while making her career debut sprinting over the main track at Churchill Downs Saturday afternoon. Away smartly from a wide gate, the $500,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling purchase was content to force the pace from the outside through an opening quarter in :22.52. With 3-2 favorite Frolicking (Not This Time) warming up to the task three deep approaching the entrance to the straight, Baracca fought on bravely three off the inside and won the sprint to the line. Frolicking was a good second and Bonne Sante (Instilled Regard) third. The final time for the six furlongs was 1:10.55 Sales history: $500,000 Ylg '24 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.
