Clarke Johnstone and Sparky Lad (Smart Missile) won the first edition of the Arena Racing Company (ARC) Racehorse to Eventer Challenge at the Cornbury House Horse Trials. They earned £45,000 for their victory. Owned by Tim Boland, Sparky Lad is out of the More Than Ready mare Lady Hepburn and was formerly trained during his racing days by Chris Waller. Clarke said, “This is the biggest prize I've won during my career – the prize is amazing and the initiative is fantastic, so thank you very much to Jayne McGivern, David Howden and Arena Racing Company. Ex-racehorses are wonderful athletes and they try their best for you. I hope that this class encourages top riders to ask their local racehorse trainer whether they have a horse that might suit eventing. “That's what happened with Sparky Lad – his owner, Tim Boland, runs Limitless Lodge, which is a leading breaking and pre-training yard just north of Sydney. He pre-trained Sparky and identified him as a horse that could go on to succeed in eventing. Sparky went into training with Chris Waller and this horse is what Tim described as a 'handy horse' in that he ran more than 30 times and clocked up over A$250,000, winning four times and was placed six times. Sparky has such a beautiful mind – he is the same every day and tries very hard.” In second was Ben Lee Liles and Finch Fancy (Arvico) who earned £2,000. Lee Liles co-owns the mare with Charlie Ainsworth. Rounding out the top three was the pair of Alexander Tordoff and Jack Randall (Cityscape), owned by Louise Heard. The ARC Racehorse to Eventer Challenge attracted 44 starters in its first year. The four-day Cornbury House Horse trials continue through Sunday, September 14.

1st-Belmont The Big A, $80,000, (S), Msw, 9-13, 2yo, 7f, 1:24.84, ft, 1 3/4 lengths. FROUTIEN (c, 2, Galilean–It's Timeless, by Mineshaft) was hammered into 1-4 favoritism to improve on a debut third at Saratoga Aug. 15 and did just that, becoming the first winner for his freshman sire (by Uncle Mo) with a workmanlike victory in the Saturday opener at Aqueduct. With Kendrick Carmouche taking over from John Velazquez, at Woodbine for the afternoon to ride that track's three Grade I contests, the $700,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic breezer was ridden for speed and maintained a narrow advantage through an opening quarter-mile that was clocked in :22.84. Continuing to lead for the run around the turn while being urged along, Froutien kept finding into the final furlong and was always holding the late bid of the debuting Royal Riddle (Practical Joke) in the run to the line, scoring by 1 3/4 lengths. A $95,000 purchase out of last year's Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearling Sale, Froutien was led out unsold on a bid of $160,000 at OBS this past March. Re-routed for the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale a couple of months later, the May 7 foal breezed an eighth of a mile in :10 1/5 over the sloppy Timonium track before hammering to Mahmoud Mouni on behalf of the Libyan-based Tagermeen Racing. Froutien is out of a daughter of MSP What Time It Is, also the dam of two-time stakes winner Never Enough Time (Munnings). The dam produced a Cyberknife colt this term and was bred back to Solomini. Galilean, who stands for $3,500 at Questroyal New York, was himself a $600,000 2-year-old in training purchase and won six of his 16 starts, all in stakes company,while under the care of John Sadler. Andy and the late Susan Beadnell also bred New York-bred Haveyougoneaway (Congrats), winner of the 2016 GI Ballerina Stakes. Sales history: $95,000 Ylg '24 SARAUG; $160,000 RNA 2yo '25 OBSMAR; $700,000 2yo '25 EASMAY. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $54,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. O-Tagermeen Racing; B-Andy M & Susan K Beadnell (NY); T-Todd A Pletcher.

Capping another red-letter day for Coolmore and Team Ballydoyle and a memorable one for Christophe Soumillon, Delacroix (Dubawi) justified favouritism in style in Leopardstown's G1 Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes. Sent off the well-supported 2-1 market-leader, the Eclipse hero sat a way off the strong pace before delivering a jaw-dropping killer kick between the three and the two as if he had just jumped in. In command before his chief rival Anmaat (Awtaad) had time to react, Aidan O'Brien's 13th winner of this championship heat showed why Ryan Moore had picked him in the Derby as he surged up the hill. At the line, there was only 3/4 of a length between him and Shadwell's veteran which is a statement of how admirable the runner-up is, with another 2 1/4 lengths back to Royal Champion (Shamardal) who gained another Group 1 placing. “He's an incredible horse,” O'Brien said of Tepin's final foal, who was putting the deflating experience of his Juddmonte International second firmly behind him. “When you say go on him, it's over. It's unusual, but we saw it at Sandown and we saw it again today. He's a hardy boy, a big, powerful strong horse and York was just an exercise canter really. He has all the options open to him.” At the close of play on a momentous Saturday, Aidan O'Brien could boast the St Leger and Champagne at Doncaster as the Champions Juvenile and Ingabelle as well as this feature on this card.
