    • The nomination period for the 2025 Bill Kraatz Thoroughbred Makeover Ambassador Award is now open, the Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) announced Monday afternoon. Named in the memory of chief steward Bill Kraatz, the award recognizes a Makeover graduate horse who has gone on to serve as ambassador for the athleticism and trainability of retired racehorses beyond their racing careers. Eligible horses include any Thoroughbred Makeover graduate who was registered for the retraining competition–even if he or she ultimately did not compete–regardless of who now owns said horse. Nominations, which will remain open through July 1, may be submitted online via a form found here. The winner will be announced in September and honored at the awards party Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Kentucky Horse Park. “Throughout their preparation for the Thoroughbred Makeover, we often remind trainers that getting their horses to the event is just the beginning,” said RRP executive director, Kirsten Green. “What our graduates do beyond the Makeover is arguably more important that their accomplishments at the Kentucky Horse Park in October. Participating in open competition or other riding activities and being seen as solid citizens in the equestrian community is what really changes hearts and minds in the long run.” The post Bill Kraatz Thoroughbred Makeover Ambassador Award Accepting Nominations appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Marco Botti and Marco Ghiani enjoyed a glorious homecoming at Capannelle on Monday when teaming up to win the 142nd running of the G2 Derby Italiano with Molveno. Ghiani settled his mount towards the rear of the 18-strong field through the first part of the 2,200-metre contest, before starting to pick off a few beaten rivals early in the straight. Crazy Spirit (Phoenix Of Spain), trained by Botti's brother, Stefano, looked to have the race in safe keeping when moving into a clear lead entering the final furlong, but Ghiani was able to muster a irresistible late charge from Molveno to collar that rival in the final strides and ensure that the prize would be going back to Newmarket. It was a fourth career victory for the son of Almanzor, who was racing beyond a mile for the first time and headed to Rome following a runner-up finish in a Newmarket handicap early last month. Sales History: 32,000gns Ylg '23 TATOCT. Lifetime Record: 9-4-1-1. O-Scuderia Sagam Srls. B-Chasemore Farm (GB). T-Marco Botti.

    • Miss Yechance, one of the fastest horses at the Goffs Breeze-Up Sale who translated that preciosity when landing a Redcar maiden on debut for Jack Morland, is set to be offered for sale at the Tattersalls Online Pop-Up Sale on Thursday, June 12. Despite posing one of the fastest breezes at Doncaster, Miss Yechance was led out unsold at £48,000 by EMW Equine. However, just over a month later, the Cotai Glory filly posted a straightforward success over the minimum trip at Redcar, winning comfortably by one-and-a-half lengths.  The cleverly-named Miss Yechance will be sold with entries in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes and the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot. Meanwhile, Tattersalls Online is also launching a new feature to allow owners and trainers to sell percentage shares in their racehorses. This innovative function will provide a platform for connections to reach an international audience of racing enthusiasts and potential new investors, whilst retaining an interest in their horse.  In particular, it paves the way for owners to market shares in horses that are targeting this year's Royal Meeting or that have other high-profile engagements. Applications for further entries or racehorse shares for the Tattersalls Online June Pop-Up Sale are being taken now and interested parties should contact the Tattersalls Online team no later than 10am Monday June 9.
