    • Gold Square's Throckmorton (c, 2, Caracaro–Whatarocket, by Goldencents), the even-money favorite, went wire-to-wire to take the Awad Stakes at Aqueduct Sunday. Making his first start on the turf, the bay colt easily took the early lead and was under a snug hold through an opening quarter in :23.26. Let loose at the top of the lane as the half went up in :45.93, he scampered clear with a furlong to run and maintained a 1 1/2-length advantage to the wire, completign the six furlongs in 1:08.91. Glorious Boy (Independence Hall) was second and Zuby (Vekoma) was third. Throckmorton was third over a sloppy Saratoga oval in his July 12 unveiling and was third again in an off-turfer at the Spa Aug. 14 before graduating over the synthetics at Gulfstream Sept. 14. Purchased by Global Racing for $8,000 at the 2023 Keeneland November sale, the colt sold earlier this year for $250,000 at the OBS April sale. He is the third stakes winner for sophomore sire Caracaro (Uncle Mo). Lifetime Record: 4-2-0-2. O-Gold Square LLC. B-Sierra Frla Farm LLC (Ky). T-Jose D'Angelo.

    • Whisper Hill Farm, Stonestreet and Windancer Farm's Courting (c, 2, Curlin–Cavorting, by Bernardini), a $5-million Keeneland September graduate, glided to a four-length maiden score at Aqueduct Sunday. The 1-9 favorite, making his second lifetime start, was away alertly and was under a snug hold while setting a moderate early tempo. He shrugged off a challenge from longshot Stream It (Tapit) in upper stretch and sailed down the lane to an easy victory. Grittiness (Curlin) closed late for second. The time for the mile was 1:36.03. Courting closed to be fourth after a slow start over this same track and distance in his Sept. 27 debut. The handsome chestnut is a son of Grade I winner Cavorting and a full-brother to Grade I winner Clairiere. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0. O-Whisper Hill Farm, Stonestreet, Windancer Farm. B-Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings (Ky).

Tribalist embarks on his first season at stud as a seven-time Group winner, a tally headlined by his pillar-to-post win in last year's Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, while fellow newcomer Marhaba Ya Sanafi gained his sole success at the top level in the 2023 running of the Poule d'Essai des Poulains. Shares remain available in the Classic-winning son of Muhaarar. Elsewhere, the dual Group 1 scorer Romanised, the sire of the G3 Prix Cleopatre heroine Zia Agnese, will stand for €5,000, along with the G1 National Stakes winner Thunder Moon, who will be represented by his first two-year-old runners in 2026. The roster is completed by Texas, who will command a fee of €3,800 ahead of his first juveniles also gracing racecourses next year, and young National Hunt stallion Magic Dream, who will stand for €3,500. In other news, Castillon Stallions has appointed Enrico Simone Faccarello as head stallion man and nomination sales manager.
