    • 5. MIZZOU, KEE, 10/3, about 7 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-88 (2nd) (c, 3, by Munnings–Mo'ne Davis, by Bernardini) O-Harrell Ventures and Seaside Racing. B-Brenda and Philip Robertson (Ky). T-George Weaver. J-Jose Ortiz. This Friday maiden sprint kicks off a clean sweep for Keeneland in the Five Fastest Maidens. Mizzou battled with Divine Justice (below) from the start to ultimately lose a head bob despite having been away from the races for more than a year. Curtis Harrell and his nephew Forrest Jr. bought Mizzou for $300,000 at Keeneland September in 2023 from Versailles, Ky., husband and wife breeders Phil and Brenda Robertson. The Robertsons bought dam Mo'ne Davis from Roy Jackson four years ago–she's a half-sister to Jackson's 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro. 4. DIVINE JUSTICE, KEE, 10/3, about 7 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-88 (c, 3, by Justify–Rarities, by City Zip) O-Flurry Racing Stable, Titletown Racing Stables, Mathiesen Racing and KC Racing. B-Killora Stud (Ky). T-Brad Cox. J-Tyler Gaffalione. A month-and-a-half ago, Semper Primus broke his maiden at Ellis Park by 8 1/4 lengths with a 100 Beyer, becoming only the second triple-digit-Beyer maiden since we started Five Fastest Maidens this May. Next across the finish in that race was Divine Justice, who just managed to outduel Mizzou Friday in his second career outing. He's a son of Justify out of a full-sister to two-time Grade I winning sprinter Palace. 3. GALLIVANT, KEE, 10/4, 6 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-89 (3rd) (c, 2, by Into Mischief–Fancy Dress Party, by Munnings) O/B-LNJ Foxwoods (Ky). T-Ben Colebrook. J-Luan Machado. And now we get to the swift Saturday sprint at Keeneland. This son of supersire Into Mischief was well-backed at 5/1, and a pacesetting third-place 89 debut Beyer is a fine launching pad. His dam, also raced by the Roth family, won five of her six starts including the GIII Beaumont Stakes at Keeneland, so Gallivant has strong genes on both sides of his pedigree. 2. ROCKIES BALBOA, KEE, 10/4, 6 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 91 (2nd) (c, 2, by Girvin–Toni Ann's Miracle, by Hear No Evil) O-Charles Monfort, Americas Pastime Stables and Bloom Racing Stable. B-Tonya Hunt (Fla). T-Dale Romans. J-Corey Lanerie. “Rocky” probably thought he had pacesetter Gallivant measured, until Local Knowledge landed an uppercut in the final furlong. In large part, his massive improvement from a no-excuses fifth in his first lifetime start is why some may look at the race's lofty rating with raised eyebrows. In that Sept. 1 debut, he trudged home 9 3/4 lengths behind highly-regarded Oscar's Hope with a mediocre 60 Beyer. By contrast, his 91 Beyer on Saturday came a half-hour before Oscar's Hope finished second in a Keeneland allowance–in a six-furlong time 1.16 seconds slower than Rockies Balboa. That might seem illogical, but in making speed figures you go where the data takes you. 1. LOCAL KNOWLEDGE, KEE, 10/4, 6 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-94 (c, 2, by Yaupon–Chestnut Street, by Scat Daddy) O-Spendthrift Farm. B-Stoneriggs Farm (Ky). T-Todd Pletcher. J-Dylan Davis. 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard'. Right in the middle of Spendthrift's banner weekend, this performance flew under the radar. But the $625,000 OBS April purchase delivered a big debut Beyer despite a disadvantageous trip. Watch the head-on replay and you'll see the son of Yaupon slam into the side of the gate at the break and drop five lengths behind average fractions. He also took the long way four wide around the turn, yet still ran down the leaders with nice-looking strides and a final quarter of :23.87.             The post Five Fastest Maidens, Presented By Taylor Made: Sept. 30-Oct. 6 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • The field days left the Dargaville Racecourse location 20 years ago. But neither Avondale, Dargaville nor the ATC have enough spare cash (or security) to renovate their own tracks and facilities.  Whangarei Racing Club aren't in clover either!!  
    • According to the HIWU website, GI Belmont Stakes winning trainer Jena Antonucci has had a horse test positive for Lidocaine. The horse in question is Bee a Queen (Khozan). Bee A Queen last raced on Sept, 12 at Gulfstream, but it is not clear whether or not that was the race from which the filly had a positive test. After the notice of the positive was posted on the HIWU website, Antonucci posted a statement on her X account explaining that she was willing to work with HISA/HIWU and called for there to be a solution to the problem of trainers being suspended when the medication in question is of “irrelevant concentration.” Here statement read: “While this is still a pending matter, learning you have a controlled substance test which is above an allowable limit is a terrifying experience. Primarily because you do not want to feel that you let down your horse, your owner, your team of those that know who you are. “Since learning that we were navigating the waters of a 3-Hydroxylidocaine overage, we did a complete business triage to ensure we assessed every aspect of our operation. I could not be more thankful to our entire team knowing there was no purposeful or accidental exposure in our control including our veterinary team who does not use Lidocaine in their practice. I am most proud of the professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by everyone. “I continue to stand behind HISA and HIWU and will continue to work with all organizations to get the language right to serve all horsemen fairly and justly. While our overage was nominal, it is paramount we work towards utilizing irrelevant concentrations in testing for the future of sport. “I appreciate HISA and HIWU having an open line of communication during my process and encourage anyone finding themselves in a similar situation to work with the organizations to find solutions. There is something to be learned through each event by both sides. “As a side note…It is easy to be very reactionary as what we do is every bit of our being–so it is personal. I would only ask and encourage trainers to be prudent in detailing all business practices and share your attention to detail and how on top of your business you are, and I would also ask that HISA and HIWU continue to learn it isn't all black and white. We are in this together and we must continue to respect both sides to find and agreeable middle for the horse. For without them we will have nothing.” She concluded the statement saying there will be no further comment at this time.
