You easily get sucked in…So above statement says 20k more active account holders compared to 2024….yet active accounts in Oct 2024 was 105,600 compared to 117,400 Oct 2025. So thats a worry, plenty not using accounts in the big month of October for racing…. -

Of 13 horses expected to fly into Southern California this week, only one didn't make the trip, according to Del Mar. Flights were grounded due to the FAA grounding MD-11 freighter aircraft for inspections and repairs.View the full article -

Runaway GII Fasig-Tipton Risen Star Stakes winner and GI Pennsylvania Derby runner-up Magnitude (c, 3, Not This Time–Rockadelic, by Bernardini) put it all together in his first start against older horses, capturing the 151st running of the GII Clark Stakes at Churchill Downs Friday. Off from the outside as the 2-1 favorite, he pressured early pacesetter and GIII West Virginia Derby winner Chunk of Gold (Preservationist) through the :23.21 first quarter, then backed off a bit to track behind Chunk of Gold's :47.07 half. Magnitude began moving up on the turn at the same time G1 Dubai World Cup hero Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}) advanced from midpack, then took command despite Chunk of Gold not relenting easily. The ultra-game latter sophomore fought back and the two appeared to brush, with Chunk of Gold only giving way grudgingly in the last strides as Magnitude swapped to his wrong lead and Hit Show joined the fray late. Magnitude held his advantage, winning by about a half-length over Hit Show, with Chunk of Gold another head back. The final time for the 1 1/8 miles was 1:48.69. “In the second turn, I started moving forward and he did the rest,” said winning jockey Jose Ortiz. Last seen finishing second to Baeza (McKinzie) in the Sept. 20 Pennsylvania Derby, Magnitude was also third in the GI Travers Stakes behind dual Classic winner Sovereignty (Into Mischief). He captured the Iowa Derby July 5 at Prairie Meadows after nearly five months on the sidelines after coming out of a 108 Beyer tour-de-force in the Risen Star Feb. 15 with a bone chip.

Well, I think Reefton - for one - provides its own maintenance and has a positive balance sheet. I can't imagine Mr Molloy tolerating debt. Hokitika was another that had plenty in kitty, enough to undertake any works determined to be necessary. Not given the chance. Gone. -

In dramatic fashion, Glorious Boy awarded his freshman sire Independence Hall (by Constitution) his first stakes winner in Friday's Pulpit Stakes. He didn't have much luck earlier in the summer on the main track at Saratoga, though he was meant for the turf initially on debut before getting rained onto the dirt upstate. But, once switched to the grass at Aqueduct Sept. 28, he found a nice improvement to his form, breaking his maiden in an optional claimer and running second most recently in the six-furlong Awad Stakes Nov. 9. Shipping into Gulfstream for the first time, the 8-1 shot faced both a weather-necessitated surface switch to Tapeta and a stretch in distance out to the one mile and 70 yards Friday. Bumped at the break, he found himself off the pace in fifth just behind Bronze Bullet while able to save ground from his outside draw just off the rail on the short run into the clubhouse turn. That pair stayed in tight quarters for much of the backstretch run with Glorious Boy swinging out wide for running room outside of his rival. In a joint move with just over a quarter mile to run, the two came for home together with Bronze Bullet hitting the front. As they raced down to the wire, they came together several times late in a head-bobbing dead-heat finish. The stewards immediately hung the inquiry sign as Rajiv Maragh aboard Glorious Boy also lodged an objection against Emisael Jaramillo on Bronze Bullet. After review, Bronze Bullet was disqualified from the dead heat win and placed second with Glorious Boy elevated to solo first. “I objected because there was some contact that I felt impeded my horse,” said Maragh. “In the moment, it was so close I wasn't sure if I won, so I made sure I claimed foul.” Winning trainer Carlos Martin added: “I wasn't sure about the DQ because it seemed like there was some incidental contact both ways. But Stacy Prior, trainer Joe Orseno's assistant who helped us with the horse–Joe and her have been great the whole time we've been here, about 10 days–she said to watch it again because the second time our horse's [behind] kind of went out from underneath him, maybe just enough. A tie is great, but it's better to have the win.” Of Bronze Bullet's DQ, trainer Jose D'Angelo said: “It was a tough call. I think he was tired. They are babies going two turns for the first time.” Freshman sire Independence Hall has 16 winners from his first crop. First dam Love Co, herself a stakes winner in New York, has eight winners from 10 to race including now three stakes performers. Glorious Boy is her last reported foal. PULPIT S., $100,000, Gulfstream, 11-28, 2yo, 1m 70y (AWT) (off turf), 1:40.74, ft. 1–GLORIOUS BOY, 119, g, 2, by Independence Hall 1st Dam: Love Co (SW, $121,881), by Not For Love 2nd Dam: Cozzekiki, by Cozzene 3rd Dam: Raffinierte (Ire), by Surumu (Ger) ($19,000 Wlg '23 KEENOV; $90,000 Ylg '24 FTKOCT). 1ST BLACK TYPE WIN.
