I don't look for them and they are not targeting me.  I'm surprised I saw any retail promotions.  If you understand segment marketing then I'm not in that segment.  

I saw one Cox Plate day, you think you say one cup week, PLF saw one yesterday. If that’s constant enough for you Vouris and Guerin that’s great.

Minella Racing's Minella Academy (Sea The Moon) was knocked down for £370,000 during the Goffs Coral Gold Cup Sale at Newbury on Saturday. Sold as lot 6 to Harold Kirk and Willie Mullins, the three-year-old won his hurdle debut at Cork by eight lengths earlier this month. His granddam, Last Second (Alzao), won the G2 Sun Chariot Stakes, G2 Nassau Stakes and G3 Park Stakes and was second in the G1 Coronation Stakes. At stud, she left 10 winners from 15 foals, among them multiple top-level winner and French Classic winner and sire Aussie Rules. Also breaking the £200,000 mark was Red Acres Max (Maxios) (lot 2) from Moate Stable. Tom Malone shelled out £240,000 for the four-year-old gelding. A debut point-to-point winner at Dromahane, Red Acres Max counts NH stakes winners Ballyburn (Flemensfirth), Noble Endeavor (Flemensfirth) and Churchfield Sunset (Wings Of Eagles) under his great granddam. In 2025, 17 sold from 18 lots offered (94%) for a gross of £1,944,000 (+29%). The average rose 6% to £114,353 and the median was £80,000 (-6%). Overall, seven lots met or exceeded the six-figure mark. Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent said, “Today marked the third edition of this sale which is held in partnership with Newbury Racecourse and it was great to achieve a 94% clearance rate, a rise in the sale average and another big price at the venue with Minella Academy selling for £370,000. He is the third horse to sell for £300,000 at this venue following the top price of £320,000 last year and Un Temps Pour Tout who set the record back in 2013 when selling for £450,000. “We have been very busy over the last three days with all the major owners and trainers viewing the horses and we would like to extend our thanks to the PTP handlers who have supported this sale once again. We would also like to extend our thanks to the Newbury Executive for their continued support of this sale, and of course to our purchasers who we wish the very best of luck. We now turn our attention to the Goffs December NH Sale which will offer a superb catalogue of NH foals & breeding stock on 8 – 10 December.” The post Minella Academy Brings £370k From Kirk And Mullins At Goffs Coral Gold Cup Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Trainer Greg Foley, a fixture on the Churchill Downs backside for better than 40 years, was represented by his 500th winner beneath the Twin Spires when No Time Left (Not This Time) broke her maiden at third asking at odds of 8-1 Saturday afternoon. A career-long inhabitant of Barn 11 at the Louisville oval, Foley is now tied for eighth on the track's all-time wins list with Bernie Flint. “Churchill Downs has always been home,” said Foley, whose first win at the track came on Apr. 27, 1981 with Sky Light Princess. “To win 500 races here is really special. It's a credit to all the horses, owners and people around me who've made it possible.” Foley has sent out nearly 10,000 starters to date for 1,577 winners and has amassed stable earnings of over $42 million. His best runners include MGSW Sconsin (Include) and GI Kentucky Derby runners Major Fed (Ghostzapper) and O Besos (Orb). He recently won the first Grade I of his career when Troubleshooting (Not This Time) took out the Frankin-Simpson Stakes at Kentucky Downs. He joins an elite list of trainers near the top of the leaderboard, which is headed by Steve Asmussen's 992 wins. He is followed by Dale Romans (827), Bill Mott (795), Kenny McPeek (592), Tom Amoss (585), Mike Maker (564) and D. Wayne Lukas (562). Foley and Flint are tied in eighth with 500 wins apiece, just ahead of Brad Cox with 497. “I don't think I'll ever get as many wins as Steve (Asmussen),” Foley joked. “Maybe I can get to Lukas. There are some really good trainers on this list.” The post Foley Sends Out 500th Churchill Winner appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
