    • Los Angeles, a Group 1 winner in each of his three seasons to race, will stand on the Coolmore National Hunt roster at Castlehyde Stud for the 2026 breeding season. The son of Camelot, who was bred by Lynch Bages Ltd and Longfield Stud and trained by Aidan O'Brien, was unbeaten in his two juvenile starts, which included the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud. Running throughout his career in the colours of Westerberg, who owned him in partnership with Sue Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith, Los Angeles won the G3 Cashel Palace Hotel Derby Trial before finishing third behind stable-mate City Of Troy in the Derby then landing his own Classic triumph in the Irish Derby. He held off another stable-mate, Illinois, to claim the G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes, and at four added another two major victories to his record. Each time dropping back in trip to 10 furlongs, Los Angeles landed the G2 Mooresbridge Stakes and a strong renewal of the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup, beating Group 1 winners Anmaat, Kalpana and White Birch. Speaking after the Tattersalls Gold Cup, Aidan O'Brien said, “Los Angeles is a good, hardy, tough horse and he's at his best when the pace is on – no horse likes a fight more than him. It's hard to believe how big and powerful he is until you stand beside him and he has an incredible mind, he's so relaxed.” Out of the Dansili mare Frequential, Los Angeles belongs to an outstanding family which includes Galileo and Sea The Stars. His third dam Allez Les Trois is the dam of Prix du Jockey Club winner Anabaa Blue and a half-sister to the blue hen Urban Sea and to 2,000 Guineas winner King's Best. Cathal Murphy of Castlehyde Stud said, “He's an exceptional physical with great bone and depth. He brings Classic performance and stamina from the Montjeu sireline of leading National Hunt influences Walk In The Park and Authorized, and from one of the strongest families in the studbook, that of Galileo, Sea The Stars and Santiago. Los Angeles was as genuine and uncomplicated as they come, and I think he will tick a lot of boxes for National Hunt breeders.” Los Angeles holds an entry for the G1 Hong Kong Vase on Sunday, December 14. His stud fee will be announced at a later date.   The post Los Angeles to Stand at Castlehyde Stud appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • i quoted their exact wording earlier,which implies more than what you say. but i agree with you they lack transparency. If things were as good as they make out,then all they would have to do is release the fugures and show that and that would silence the naysayers.
    • Betcha is down for me also. Same message
    • Shit I couldn't even have a bet on the last couple. Someone pulled the pin.      
    • They are saying the turnover as a total has not gone down. That is probably true as they have put on more meetings. We need to know the turnover per race data as an average which paints a true picture. I believe they have this information but are unlikely to be sharing it because I heard it is not good reading. In fact the North Island meetings race by race data will be giving them a heart attack. They probably are doing all they can to flush the North Island data down the toilet.
