As far as Riccarton goes, there is one meeting 21st June before the National meeting. Hardly over-use. One wit remarked that they wouldn't want to do the work putting the track back if racing had gone ahead on the turf. Fact is, that those who nominated for the Riccarton turf meeting did so knowing that there would be heavy going. The track had no surface water and although very testing, would have been safe. The discussion is academic to me, I didn't have anything in, but the biggest insult was that the decision was made without any consultation with the stakeholders involved. -

1st-BAQ, $85k, Msw, 3yo/up, 6f, 1:10 p.m. ET FULLY BOOKED (Maclean's Music) debuts for Chad Brown and Klaravich Stables, who gave $460,000 for the March foal at the 2023 Keeneland September Sale. Stonestreet acquired dam Si Si Tequila (Yes It's True) for $155,000 at Fasig-Tipton July in 2017 and campaigned her to a runner-up effort in the Glorious Song Stakes during her juvenile season. A half-sister to GII Best Pal Stakes winner and GI Del Mar Futurity third Run Away (Run Away and Hide), Si Si Tequila is also responsible for a 2-year-old Street Sense colt that Spendthift purchased for $375,000 at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga last summer. Klaravich, of course, campaigned Maclean's Music's GI Futurity Stakes victor Complexity. Repole Stable has had a fair bit of success with the offspring of Curlin and the Siena Farm-bred Be Real looks to open his account here from the rail as the 4-5 morning-line pick. A son of GII Forward Gal Stakes runner-up Island Saint (Speightstown) and a maternal grandson of GSW & GISP Prospective Saint (Saint Ballado), the $300,000 KEESEP acquisition is a half-brother to SP Swiftsure (Uncle Mo). The juvenile half-brother by Gun Runner fetched $450,000 at this year's OBS April Sale, a nice profit on the $75,000 paid for him at Fasig-Tipton October last fall. TJCIS PPs 9th-BAQ, $85k, Msw, 3yo/up, f/m, 6fT, 5:16 p.m. ET Blue Devil Racing Stable homebred LAYLANI LOU (Malibu Moon) lures the services of John Velazquez and also has pole position for this first go.

Ballydoyle's form in the Classic trials maintained its formidable momentum on Saturday with a one-two in the Listed Lingfield Derby Trial. At the line, the 4-5 favourite and Ryan Moore's pick Puppet Master had a short head to spare over Stay True in the extended 11-furlong contest, with neither stablemate giving an inch. Camelot's Puppet Master, who had been fourth in the G2 Royal Lodge Stakes and in the G3 Ballysax Stakes on his return, had been forced to battle his way past Stay True, one of the last crop of Galileo, inside the last two furlongs as they pulled 3 1/2 lengths clear of Ghaiyyath's Nightime Dancer.

Coolmore and Westerberg's hitherto unraced Albert Einstein (Wootton Bassett) had received favourable reports in recent dispatches from Ballydoyle and justified his lofty reputation with a TDN Rising Star performance going just shy of six furlongs in Saturday's Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Naas. The January-foaled bay's potential was reflected in the betting market and he headed postward as a rock-solid 1-2 favourite for this Royal Ascot stepping stone. Shadowing the pace set by 9-4 market rival Evening Blues (Blue Point) after a professional exit, he quickened smartly to challenge that rival entering the final furlong and easily asserted superiority under minimal urging to hit the line with 1 1/4 lengths to spare. The runner-up finished a whopping 12 lengths clear of the remainder. “He was never away and that's the first time he's come off the bridle,” said Aidan O'Brien. “You can see his size and power and we're delighted with him. He learned a bit today, Ger Lyons's horse [Evening Blues] had a very good run the first day, and we'll see where he fits in. We always thought he was a [G2] Coventry horse and you'd like to get another run into him before [Royal] Ascot.” 3rd-Naas, €18,000, Mdn, 5-10, 2yo, 5f 205yT, 1:12.05, gd. ALBERT EINSTEIN (IRE), c, 2, by Wootton Bassett (GB) 1st Dam: Yet (GSP-Ire), by War Front 2nd Dam: Butterflies (Ire), by Galileo (Ire) 3rd Dam: Mariah's Storm, by Rahy Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €10,620.

With just two overmatched rivals in opposition, Aidan O'Brien trainee Giselle's superior form and class told as the daughter of Frankel overcame Lingfield's Epsom-style intricacies, delivering a facile nine-length success in the track's William Hill-sponsored Listed Oaks Trial on Saturday. Last term's G3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes third and 3-10 pick was a shade keen racing third in a first-time hood through the initial stages of this seasonal debut. Negotiating the downhill section and taking closer order in the home straight, she seized control approaching the quarter-mile marker and bounded clear thereafter to easily outclass Harpsichord (Ribchester) by daylight for a career high. O'Brien's two previous winners of the contest include subsequent G1 Irish Oaks and G1 Yorkshire Oaks heroine Seventh Heaven (Galileo).
