Will Douglass will join Ocala Breeders' Sales Company as their international representative, OBS announced. The English native established Will Douglass Bloodstock in January of this year. Previously, he had worked as a bloodstock agent with Charlie Gordon-Watson since 2010. Prior to that, Douglass was an assistant to Classic-winning trainer Luca Cumani, Ed Dunlop and Australian Champion Trainer David Hayes. “I am looking forward to working with [the] team at OBS and helping them expand their international client base,” Douglass said. “OBS has a long history of selling outstanding horses that are successful all over the world such as Crimson Advocate (Nyquist) winning at Royal Ascot whilst [Group 3 placed and OBS October graduate] The Publican's Son (Beau Liam) looks be a horse to follow next year.” Some of the horses-in-training acquisitions Douglass has been responsible for include Classic and multiple Group 1 winner Al Riffa (Wootton Bassett); Hong Kong group winner Helene Feeling (Sioux Nation), dual Hong Kong Group 1 winner Peniaphobia (Dandy Man), Qatari champion Kerindia (Cotai Glory), and Grade 2 winner Nancy from Nairobi (Sixties Icon). Douglass also selected the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches second Shes Perfect (Sioux Nation) and Grade II winner Luther (Frankel). “Will's expertise in Europe and Asia provides the perfect complement to the global appeal of OBS graduates,” said Tod Wojciechowski, OBS director of sales. “We are excited to bring him on board as his knowledge and skillset will be an invaluable asset in promoting our sales.” The post Will Douglass Appointed OBS International Representative appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

By Dane McLeod/TTRAusNZ Ka Ying Rising (Shamexpress) finished a close-up third in his pre-Everest trial at Randwick on Tuesday, with the world's champion sprinter cruising into the minor placing under a hold behind the G1 Randwick Guineas winner Linebacker (Super Seth) and A$10.5-million earner and dual Group 1-winning sprinter Overpass (Vancouver). Plenty in the crowd were keen to catch their first glimpse of the outstanding Hong Kong sprinter, who enjoyed the strong hit-out and clocked a fast time ahead of the A$20 million feature Saturday week. The line-up was stacked with quality equine talent with big targets ahead in the coming weeks, with the 10-time Group 1 winner and G1 King Charles III Stakes hopeful Mr Brightside (Bullbars) finishing just under five lengths behind the winner in fourth. Jockey Zac Purton gave his immediate reaction to SENTrack following the trial, where Ka Ying Rising was held together but asked to extend his work past the line for fitness. “He hasn't had a run for a month and he hasn't done too much serious work in that amount of time, so it was the first time he's done anything competitive in a while,” said Purton. “The track was a little bit soft for him. He's not totally at home on that ground, but I thought he trialled well enough. I was hoping he would have changed his leg. He didn't, but that's him.” When asked whether there were any concerns heading into The Everest, Purton added, “No, I think he'll come on a bit from that. Obviously, it's going to be a competitive race. The horses in Australia are peaking at the right time, so hopefully we can draw a good gate and get a dry track. It's going to be a good race to watch, isn't it?” Trainer David Hayes echoed the belief that the gelding would take significant benefit from the trial. He said, “It was a good solid trial, but he did need it. He blew a few cobwebs out and he'll really come on a lot for that. He'll have a nice gallop on Monday and he'll be right for the big one. He's about 20 pounds above his racing weight and I'll expect it [his weight] to come down a bit in the next week.” When asked about Ka Ying Rising's behaviour in the parade ring, where he appeared a touch hot and was having a good look around, Hayes added, “At Sha Tin he gets very edgy in the mornings going through the tunnels with all the horses, and when Zac – or whoever is riding him – drops over his neck, he relaxes straight away. “I think that was a bit typical of Ka Ying today. He will be better on race day, but he'll have to be, because there's going to be 50,000 people here. He really needed a dress rehearsal, he was a bit fresh in the pre-parade. It's been a big help for him.” The post World’s Best Sprinter Ka Ying Rising Warms Up for The Everest with Randwick Trial appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Key lead-up races the Holmes D G and the Methven Cup have prompted a big change in this week’s rankings for the IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup, to be held at Addington Raceway on Tuesday, November 11. Sooner The Bettor became the sixth horse to automatically qualify for the $1m NZ Cup with his win in the Holmes D G at Alexandra Park on Friday night while Better Knuckle Up has been rewarded for his third placing to go for 21st to 17. Better Knuckle Up was the inaugural winner of last year’s THE VELOCITY slot race at Addington. He completed a Barry Purdon and Scott Phelan-trained trifecta in the Holmes DG with Merlin finishing second. Further south Rakero Rocket solidified his 11th place in the rankings with his win in Sunday’s Methven Cup while the fast finishing runner-up Wag Star has been a big mover – up six places from 25th to 19, just four places outside the cut-off. After finishing fourth in the Methven Cup, American Me has improved two places to 13th. He was fourth in the 2023 New Zealand Cup as well. Both the Holmes D G and Methven Cup had Group 3 status. The top 10 in the rankings for the Renwick Farms Dominion Trot remain unchanged this week though there has been some manoeuvring just behind them, especially from two Australian contenders. Jilliby Ballerini has improved seven places to 12th on the back of her win at the Group 3 Australasian Trotters Championship at Melton beating a quality field that included Arcee Phoenix. She is now a $6 third favourite for the Dominion behind Oscar Bonavena and Bet N Win. The other trotter heading up the rankings this week is Parisian Artiste following his 15th career win at Menangle on Saturday night. He has gone from 14th to 11th. The rankings will be updated weekly with the final rankings coming out after the Kaikoura Cup meeting on Monday, November 3. To see the latest rankings click here View the full article -
