In-form conditioner Francis Graffard continued on a winning roll at Saint-Cloud Tuesday afternoon and saddled Aga Khan Studs homebred Narissa (Siyouni) to become her sire's 15th TDN Rising Star after delivering a stunning performance in the seven-furlong Prix Allee d'Amour. Siyouni, himself a Rising Star, boasts a roll of honour which also includes last month's G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches heroine Zarigana. The 3-5 favourite, askew from the gates and careering left at the break, tracked the leaders in fourth before surging forward into a handy third approaching halfway. Looming large hard on the bridle in early straight, she eased ahead passing the quarter-mile marker and quickened clear in highly encouraging fashion inside the final furlong to easily outclass Vanina Runway (Zelzal) by an impressive eight-length margin. “This filly has quality, she had been working well in the mornings and I was expecting something nice on this debut,” admitted Graffard. “So, to sum it up, it is not a surprise and I think she has some future.” The post Siyouni’s Narissa Delivers TDN Rising Star Display at Saint-Cloud appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The 2025 Magic Millions National Yearling Sale concluded on Tuesday with solid results despite a challenging market. Harry Angel emerged as the standout sire on Day 2, highlighted by a colt that sold for $525,000, while Extreme Choice continued his strong commercial run, siring three of the top five lots overall. In total, 21 yearlings sold for $100,000 or more, up from 17 in 2024, underscoring strong buyer demand at the top end of the market. But it was the Harry Angel colt that sent reverberations through the sale ring when selling for $525,000 to leading Hong Kong trainer Manfred Man. Alma Vale Thoroughbreds offered the colt on behalf of Temerity Park, who had purchased him for just $1,500 as a weanling from Sledmere Stud's draft at the 2024 Inglis Australian Weanling Sale. The return marked an incredible profit of 350 times the original purchase price. Alma Vale Thoroughbreds' Stud Manager, Oscar Engelbrecht, was understandably slightly shocked, but thrilled after the sale. “The result is incredible, that is what dreams are made of, it really is life-changing for the owners, Temerity Park,” Engelbrecht said. “It's good to finish the year on such a high note. We've (Alma Vale) had a very good year, and huge credit has to go to everyone involved. It takes a lot of work to get these results, not just from the team at the sales, but everyone back home as well. We're absolutely rapt, and very happy to get the result for such good people.” Engelbrecht praised the professionalism of the colt, the form of his sire, and noted the strong interest in inspection during the week. “Harry Angel is doing a really good job, and this colt was so professional throughout the week, the underbidder looked at him seven times. The beauty of live auction action was on full display, when two people want the horse, they're willing to pay for it.” Reflecting on the incredible financial turnaround, Engelbrecht added, “A $1,500 weanling into a $525,000 yearling – it could quite possibly be one of the best pinhooks ever. When the stars align, it can go really well. It's a huge team effort, and we have a great team that works extremely hard.” The post Incredible Harry Angel Pinhook Concludes Magic Millions Yearling Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

yes the dixons and the mcmullens are very talented. But team driving is one of the main things which turns punters off the harness product. Galloping trainers can have 3 or 4 in a race,but you never hear of team riding. and its not just punters who are turned off by team driving. Those who are on the receiving end of team driving,whether they be owners or trainers view it very negatively. As to the southern racing. Yes,i like your training tips. Makes sense too me. As to the topic of having more racing in winter in southland to keep things ticking over financially for all those involved. Well,if we put to one side,whether its a good idea or not,what strikes me about HRNZ promoting this,is don't they realise how contradictory their decision making has been. like,for southland,HRNZ are saying they want no canterbury horses to race in southland in the southern surge races and have programmed race conditions to that effect. Yet when it comes to canterbury, they run some races with the opposite conditions. In other words races in canterbury that are for only horses trained south of the waitaki river. And then you have hrnz consitently saying they want to see more canterbury horses racing in auckland. But wait,theres mores HRNZ contradictions. They want to keep southland harness racing ticking over all year around fior the good of the industry there,but when it comes to the central districts they have just compressed their racedays into a six month period,with nothing in the other half of the year. its very confusing.And i think the reasion for the contradictory approaches ,depending on which region it is,is an indication that HRNZ policy makers really are confused and end up just placating groups who make the loudest noise or complain the most.Thats seems to be there approach to everything. -
