Coolmore and partners have acquired an interest in 'TDN Rising Star Presented by Hagyard' and GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Nysos (Nyquist). Upon his retirement from racing, the colt will stand at Ashford Stud in 2027, the farm announced Friday. A no-brainer 'Rising Star' in his 10 1/2-length Santa Anita romp in October 2023, Nysos then picked up two straight graded stakes wins before enduring a significant break in training from Feb. 2024 through to May 2025. He returned in a thrilling edition of the GI Churchill Downs Stakes on the Kentucky Derby undercard, winding up dead-heating for second behind fellow 'Rising Star' Mindframe (Constitution). It would be his only defeat of the year as Nysos would finish the season on a four-race win streak that culminated in a win in the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Del Mar in November and the GII Laffit Pincay, Jr. Stakes in December. He most recently ran second to globe-trotting superstar Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) in the G1 Saudi Cup Feb. 14, putting up a 4+ Ragozin, before returning home to California. Following the race, trainer Bob Baffert noted, “We'll take [Nysos] back home, and just freshen him up and point for the Breeders' Cup Classic. I've brought good horses here, and I think Nysos, hopefully, is the best one I've brought here.” In addition to Nysos, Coolmore also owns his dam, Zetta Z (Bernardini), whom they acquired for a sales-topping $2-million in foal to Cyberknife at the 2024 Fasig-Tipton February Mixed Sale.

Former Hong Kong Horse of the Year Romantic Warrior clashes with Voyage Bubble in the G1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup at Sha Tin on Sunday. Second in the 2000-metre race in 2023, he went one better in 2024. In 2025, the popular gelding took his show on the road with a win in the G1 Jebel Hatta, before valiant seconds in the G1 Saudi Cup and G1 Dubai Turf. Since he returned to Hong Kong soil, he's been flawless, rattling off victories in the G2 Jockey Club Cup, G1 Hong Kong Cup–his fourth–and in the G1 Stewards' Cup in January. Voyage Bubble had the race to himself last year under James McDonald, but that jockey has opted for regular mount Romantic Warrior. Facing off against Romantic Warrior in the Stewards' Cup over 1600 metres, the son of Deep Field was not disgraced when running second by a neck. Voyage Bubble leaves from stall six, two to the outside of Romantic Warrior in four. “Since then, he's trialled really well,” said Zac Purton said of Voyage Bubble. “I can feel he's moving really nicely again, and we know we can handle 2000 [metres]. “It's a small field. It'll be a tactical race. But I'm going there hopeful that we've got a chance to overturn Romantic Warrior.” Also of note is Hong Kong Derby placegetter My Wish (Flying Artie), who is in between the aforementioned duo in stall five.
