    • By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk The in-form training combo of Hayden and Amanda Cullen look set for more success at Addington tonight. They will line up three starters in the night’s 2YO race, the Lather Up Dual World Champion Mobile Pace (8.22pm) One of them Mystery Creek has come in for some serious support. On the back of two encouraging trials, the son of Bettor’s Delight has gone from his opening price of $3.20 to $1.95. “They’ve really come for him haven’t they?” says co-trainer Hayden Cullen. “I really like the horse …. both his trials have been good and he’s trained on well, it seems the penny has started to drop with him.” The country’s top driver Blair Orange will drive him tonight after guiding him at both trials (behind King Neptune and Kotare Rimu) at Rangiora on August 26 and September 10. “Blair says the horse gave him a nice feel so we are pretty happy with him.” Mystery Creek has drawn well at two in what is now a field of seven 2YOs over 1980 metres. “He has gate speed – he will certainly hold his own from there,” says Cullen. The two other Cullen starters are Crunched and Flying Ace. To be driven again by Jonny Cox, Crunched opened favourite for tonight after his fourth on debut while Flying Ace will be driven in his first race by Olivia Thornley. He won his latest trial at Rangiora on September 25. They are now at $2.25 and $12 respectively. “It looks good on paper,” Cullen says of his chances, “though it is not always that easy is it?” The Cullen team have been on a roll of late – among their recent winners have been the likes of We Walk By Faith, Hadron Collider, Five Crowns and Winelight. Addington’s nine race programme gets underway at 4.30pm.   View the full article
    • Rebel's Romance (Dubawi) and Notable Speech (Dubawi) look set to spearhead a top-class team for Charlie Appleby at next month's Breeders' Cup at Del Mar, a meeting at which the Godolphin trainer has excelled since saddling his first winner in 2013. Appleby took his tally of Breeders' Cup winners to 11 at Del Mar last year when Rebel's Romance won the Turf for a second time, having also been successful at Keeneland in 2022. More recently, the seven-year-old gained the ninth top-level victory of his career when heading back Stateside for September's Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Aqueduct, taking his career earnings beyond $14.4 million. Now, Rebel's Romance is being primed for his attempt to become the first three-time winner in the history of the $5-million Breeders' Cup Turf. He will again be joined at Del Mar by Notable Speech, who will be given the opportunity to try and better his third-place finish in last year's $2-million GI Breeders' Cup Mile, having resumed winning ways last time in the GI Woodbine Mile. “Rebel's Romance and Notable Speech will be the two feature horses, but we'll have a few others as well,” Appleby said of his potential squad for the showpiece meeting. “We know there are going to be younger legs than Rebel's Romance going round there but, at the Breeders' Cup and on those type of tracks, you can't beat experience – he has an abundance of it. “He'll tell me when it's time to stop. People have asked me the question many times and I've always said the day he runs out of the first three is probably him saying he's raised his white flag. He owes us nothing but, while he's enjoying it, we'll allow him to keep doing it.” Weighing up the other contenders to fly the flag for Godolphin at Del Mar, Appleby continued, “Notable Speech has come out of Woodbine well and we'll keep an eye on El Cordobes as well, because he ran a solid race behind Rebel's Romance last time [when third in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic]. As we all know, you just need luck round Del Mar. “Two-year-olds-wise, we'll just see how the horses I ran at Woodbine are. Dance To The Music is probably going to run at Newmarket in the Fillies' Mile, but the colt [Wild Desert] will probably head to Del Mar. Hopefully, he has a bit of luck on his side after gaining the experience last time. “I might look at the Filly & Mare Turf with Diamond Rain and Cinderella's Dream will also be in the mix for that, while we have Military Code for the [Juvenile Turf] Sprint. I think that race might just suit him.” The post Rebel’s Romance and Notable Speech Booked for Breeders’ Cup Return appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • A 25% ownership interest in millionaire Bentornato (Valiant Minister–Her Special Way, by Put It Back), slated to contest the GI Cygames Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar, will be offered at the second edition of the Keeneland Championship Sale, to be held in the Del Mar Paddock on Wednesday, Oct. 29, two days before the Breeders' Cup World Championships, according to a Keeneland release Tuesday. “The 25% stake in Bentornato is a unique opportunity for someone to buy into a Breeders' Cup contender and immediately have action on one of grandest stages for Thoroughbred racing anywhere in the world,” Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy said. “This is the type of innovative offering that characterizes the Championship Sale, which invites creativity to connect buyers with elite occasions.” The 4-year-old, who scored a 5¼-length victory in the Louisville Thoroughbred Society Stakes at Churchill Downs on Sept. 13, never has finished worse than third in a 10-race career that includes six victories for trainer Jose D'Angelo. At 2 in 2023 at Gulfstream Park, he captured his first two career races and next competed in a series of races for offspring of Florida-based stallions. “The consistency of his performances alongside his obvious talent makes him a hard to come by individual and just a privilege to train,” D'Angelo said. “I thought the way he came back at Churchill after a longer layoff was very impressive, and he just proved his class yet again. I feel like he's at the peak of his career this far, and I expect him to continue that into his 5-year-old campaign.” Last year, Bentornato launched his 3-year-old campaign in the G3 Saudi Derby and was a courageous third behind the victorious Forever Young (Jpn), who went on to finish third in the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup Classic. Bentornato was second in the Robert Hilton Memorial at Charles Town and stepped up to the U.S. graded ranks with a win in the GII Gallant Bob Stakes at Parx as a prep for the Breeders' Cup.
