Twelve people have been denied stud book privileges of registering foals with the Jockey Club, effective January 1, 2025, due to violations, the group announced Friday via press release. The release read, in part, that the denials of privileges are pursuant to Rule 19 of the Principal Rules and Requirements of The American Stud Book. In relevant part, Rule 19 (A)(4) is as follows: A. Any person or entity (collectively “Person”) may be denied any or all of the privileges of The American Stud Book in the event: 4. There is a final determination by a court (whether civil, criminal, or administrative), an official tribunal or an official racing body that such Person: (d) killed, abandoned, mistreated, neglected or abused, or otherwise committed an act of cruelty to a horse; or (e) violated applicable racing authority statutes, Rules, or regulations relating to horses (i) on one or more occasions involving prohibited or restricted drugs, medications or substances that have been classified by the Association of Racing Commissioners International, Inc. (RCI) as class 1 or class 2 (whether or not so classified in the jurisdiction(s) that made the final determination) or (ii) on three or more occasions in any 365-day period involving prohibited or restricted drugs, medications, or substances in any RCI class (whether or not so designated or classified in the jurisdiction(s) making the final determination). The entire text can be found here. In alphabetical order by last name, the 12 to have been denied privileges are Angela Maria Aquino (CA); Nick J. Caruso (PA); Amber R. Cobb (DE); Damon R.

There were plenty of presents under John Stewart's Christmas Tree this week, including two Group I winners from South America and an Australian pedigree research site, pedigreees360.com. that he has purchased. The Argentine purchase is Pulp Fiction (Arg) (Daddy Long Legs), a 3-year-old filly. Pulp Fiction has raced just four times but one of the wins came in the G1 Polla de Potrancas. She was also third in the G3 Manuel J. Guiraldes S. From Chile, Stewart's Resolute Racing has acquired another 3-year-old filly in Dona Clota (Chi) (Delfa ({Chi}). She is a two-time Group I winner in Chile and will be pointed for the Jan. 25 GII Pegasus World Cup Turf Filly & Mare Invitational at Gulfstream. Both horses will be trained in the U.S. by Ignacio Correas. “Dona Clota, we think could be a freak,” Stewart said. “She has beat the boys twice in Group I's and we purchased her with the intent of pointing her toward the Pegasus Filly & Mare Turf.” Stewart will also run Pounce (Lookin at Lucky) in the Filly & Mare Turf. Stewart said he has been inundated with people looking to sell him horses. “We have been using social media to circumvent the traditional methods which leads to over 100 horses per week being offered to us from all over the world. Of course, we are focused on enhancing the herd in North America so bringing diversity back to the U.S. is important. “Some of the markets that have been dependent on Kentucky for seeding their herds have similar pedigrees back three or four generations. But the most recent generations have developed differently from North America.” “We are excited to add these to our turf group that includes nine stakes winning horses we purchased recently at Tattersalls and Arqana along with our current group of turf runners.” He's also well stocked when it comes to his soon-to-be 3-year-olds “In addition, we have 27 more two-year-olds turning three that people don't even know about.” But it is in the turf division that he believes will prove most successful. “I told everyone I was going to dominate the turf,” Stewart said, “For those talking about me and Resolute, I will let the horses do the talking for me on the track.” As for pedigrees360.com, Stewart described it as an Australian pedigree research site. “It was formed from the founders of Goldmine and uses next generation AI and machine learning,” he said. “I am going to expand it into a full suite of services for owners, breeders and horseplayers. The technology has been a major factor in the data analysis that has enabled Resolute Bloodstock to have the tremendous success we have had purchasing horses of racing age and evaluating horses at auction. Once I validated the technology behind the system I targeted it for acquisition, the current pedigrees360 management team and employees will continue to operate the site for existing customers. I will be investing significant working capital into the future of the business. I believe harnessing the current generation of technology will enable incremental benefits for horse owners, breeders and horseplayers.” The post “I Am Going to Dominate the Turf”- John Stewart Goes on Christmas Buying Spree appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

A full field of 18 juveniles heads to the post for the final Group 1 event on the JRA calendar, Saturday's Hopeful Stakes over the metric mile and a quarter at Nakayama Racecourse. And the entrants will be looking to join an honour roll that includes the likes of future luminaries such as Epiphaneia (Jpn), Rey de Oro (Jpn), Saturnalia (Jpn) and Contrail (Jpn), who would go on to secure the Triple Crown the following season. As recently as last weekend, the Hopeful form received the best kind of advertisement when 2023 heroine Regaleira (Jpn) (Suave Richard {Jpn}) repeated the dose against the boys in the G1 Arima Kinen over this course. Like Regaleira, Croix du Nord (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}) carries the recognizable colours of Sunday Racing and brings a record of two-from-two into this contest. Unveiled as a 5-1 chance in an 1800-metre newcomers' event at Tokyo June 9, the homebred colt duly obliged by a comfortable 2 1/2 lengths, and he has made just one appearance since, a 3/4-length success in the G2 Tokyo Sports Hai Nisai Stakes at headquarters Nov. 16. “He moved really nicely,” jockey Yuichi Kitamura said following trackwork on Christmas Day. “He tends to race on his right lead a lot, so this morning we had him change to the left lead in the stretch as a signal that this is the final stage and he did that very well. He has no bad points and gets high marks for his overall ability.” The commonly owned Magic Sands (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}) is also perfect in his two career trips to the post, a debut success at Hakodate July 7 followed by a nose tally over Arma Veloce (Jpn) (Harbinger {GB}) in the G3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes Aug. 31. The latter was most recently seen causing a minor upset in the G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies on Dec. 8. Giovanni (Jpn), a son of the aforementioned Epiphaneia, has some longshot appeal if Kohei Matsuyama is able to work out a trip from the inside barrier. A first-out maiden winner at Kokura in July, he was narrowly beaten into second in a one-win conditions test Sept. 21 and exits a close runner-up effort in the G2 Kyoto Nisai Stakes on Nov. 23. US-bred Del Avar (Frankel {GB}) came from well back to graduate at first asking at Fukushima in late June, but was void of excuses when a midfield fifth behind Croix du Nord last time out.

By Mike Love Piccadilly Pete ($1.75FF) will be looking to double down on success at Westport today after winning the Frank Dooley Memorial Westport Cup on day one. After a dominant performance on the first day the three-year-old Sweet Lou gelding has come through his run well and trainer Matt Purvis is expecting another strong performance today. “Very happy with him. He showed first up at Rangiora that he would measure up. I was a little bit worried the way the track was playing that he might not handle it, but to his credit he did it effortlessly,” said Purvis. Again Piccadilly Pete will be driven by woman of the moment Samantha Ottley. She had five winners on the first day to secure 100 for the season and then followed up with another win with Zoom X at Gore yesterday. Piccadilly Pete will drop back 10 metres, but that does not worry Purvis. “He’s come through the run well. He’s eaten everything. He steps really good so I’m pretty confident that he’ll back up as good as he went the first day.” If Piccadilly Pete comes through the run well he may be looking for a West Coast treble by backing up in the Reefton Cup on December 30. “We will see how he comes through it. There’s not much of him, he’s just a wee fella. But there’s a good chance of doing all three.” Purvis trained a winning double on day one with Don Juan winning the TRT Builders Mobile Pace. With six runners in today he looks like a good chance of more success. In Race 7, the Super Sire Waterloo Sunset Trot Purvis suggests his runner Living The Moment ($3.90FF) may be the best of the rest of his chances. “She was really good on the first day. She stepped herself into an awkward spot. She had to do a power of work early but stuck to her guns up the straight. She seems to have come through it good.” Purvis’ other runners are: Race 5 – Dance With The Boss ($14.00FF) and Don Juan ($13.00FF) Race 9 – Changeforthebeta ($3.30FF) and Oneloveonelife ($51.00FF) Race 1 is due at 12:10pm.
