    • Waiting for the right opportunity to power home, Silent Tactic (Tacitus–Magical Sign, by Gun Runner) made a statement down the lane in the GIII Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn on Friday and not only banked 20 Derby points on the road to Churchill, but also handed his sire Tactius (by Tapit) his first higher level winner. The 2-year-old colt, who was the runner-up in the Smarty Jones Stakes last month, went off as a 12-1 shot here. At the rear of the field into the first turn and through the backstretch, Silent Tactic had some work to do as 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard', & favorite D'code (Speightstown) was trying to fend off fellow 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard', Buetane (Tiz the Law) and Soldier N Diplomat (Army Mule) for most of the race. With the attention on the leaders as the field spun into the stretch, Silent Tactic geared up down the center of the course and proved best inside the final sixteenth. Soldier N Diplomat was the runner-up. Lifetime Record: 4-2-2-0. Sales History: FTKOCT '24 $60,000; OBSAPR '25 $500,000. O-John C. Oxley; B-Don Alberto Corporation; T-Mark E. Casse.

    • Really?  Aren't you and @Thomass aka @bono getting ready to sit down for the afternoon and count whip strikes? As you have so ably highlighted in this Topic @Thomass quite often gets it wrong.
    • Citing a need to upgrade its tote system, NYRA announced Friday that the new “guardrail rails” put in place regarding Computer Assisted Wagering (CAW) will not go into effect until Feb. 11. With winter weather having knocked out the Saturday and Sunday cards at Aqueduct, the 11th is the next scheduled day of racing. “The guardrails requiring CAW activity to cease at 1 MTP have been suspended today to allow for technical upgrades to the tote system,” read a NYRA statement. “The win pool, Late Pick 5 and Pick 6 restrictions remain in effect. NYRA expects the CAW guardrails to be in place February 11 and moving forward. Before being temporarily suspended, the new rules went into effect Thursday. Under the “guardrails,” NYRA will require CAW activity to cease at one minute to post in all wagering pools not previously subject to high-speed wagering restrictions. However, CAW players will still be allowed to place as many as six wagers per second once the clock hits one minute to post. “This policy reflects the importance of modernizing pari-mutuel wagering to address the technology-driven evolution of high-speed wagering,” said David O'Rourke, NYRA President & CEO said when announcing the Feb. 5 unveiling of the new policy. “Reducing odds volatility will increase pricing transparency and improve the wagering experience for horseplayers in New York and across the country.” The delay was announced just one day after a particularly odd phenomenon took place in Thursday's first race at Aqueduct. One CAW player placed $206,700 in win wagers on the race, betting on three horses. According NYRA, $182,422 was wagered on Patience N Grace (The Factor). Listed at 5-1 in the morning line, that horse was knocked down to odds of 33-100. The bets were all made with three minutes to post,” NYRA reported. CAW players normally make their wagers at the very last second so they can get a “last look” at the pari-mutuel pools and hunt for overlays. None of the three horses bet by CAW players won, which created an overlay on the 6-5 morning line favorite, Undergrad (Outwork), who paid $10.32 to win. It was unclear why the CAW player made his or her bets with three minures remaining before the race. “These ongoing tote upgrades are connected to the throttling down of high-speed wagering as required by NYRA, but unrelated to the betting activity in R1 on Thursday,” NYRA's statement read.

    • The 2026 Inglis Digital USA February Sale closed on Friday, Feb. 6, and the online event was led by broodmare prospect More Than a Diva who brought $50,000, the company said in a press release on Friday afternoon. Robert Chasanoff secured the sales topper More Than a Diva, a winning daughter of More Than Ready, out of a half-sister to classic winner and prominent young sire Tiz the Law (by Constitution). Bred by JSM Equine, the 6-year-old More Than a Diva is out of the Unbridled's Song mare Diva Style, whose trio of winners also includes SW Haute Diva (Constitution), who is being pointed for the Kentucky Oaks trail by trainer Patrick Biancone after winning the Cash Run Stakes at Gulfstream Park Jan. 1. Her second dam is the GSW Tizfiz (Tiznow), who is herself the dam of Tiz the Law and her extended female family includes sire Fury Kapcori (Tiznow). More Than a Diva was consigned by Last Laugh Stables and she was made available for inspection at Clearbrook Farm in Paris, Kentucky. Michael King secured the day's second highest priced offering, the multiple stakes placed Blame mare Cut From Class, for $42,500. Offered as a broodmare prospect from the consignment of Caitlin Keil, Cut From Class won four races and placed in a trio of stakes races during her on-track career, with earnings over $200,000. Cut From Class was made available for inspection from Keil's barn at Laurel Park in Maryland. The February Sale offered local options for a wide variety of buyers, with horses in the catalogue based in Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Virginia. “We had some really solid trade in the middle of the market,” said Inglis Digital USA CEO Kyle Wilson. “I'm excited for our customers, because I think they got some really nice mares.
