After a fruitless last three appearances against elite company, juvenile champion Citizen Bull (Into Mischief) returned to his winning ways after major class relief in the Shared Belief Stakes. Off the board in the GI Woody Stephens, GI Kentucky Derby, and GI Santa Anita Derby in his last three starts, it had been a tough spring for the Bob Baffert trainee after a sensational juvenile season which saw him win two Grade I races, including the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile, and take home top prize as the best 2-year-old colt of 2024. Gone since the Woody Stephens June 7, the 'TDN Rising Star' returned here in a scratched down field of three and was made the definitive 2-5 favorite by the betting public. Taking command right from the jump, Citizen Bull put up :22.39 and a half in :45.88 with no pressure from Smooth Cruisein (Girvin) or Gaming (Game Winner). Well in command coming off the far turn, he needed little encouragement to pull away from his rivals and ultimately won by 5 1/2 lengths. “He's a good horse,” said winning rider Juan Hernandez. “He broke well out of the gate. He gave me speed at the three-quarter pole and that was it. When he recovers well from this race, I think he can go anywhere.” “He was back to a distance he really loves,” said Baffert from the winner's enclosure. “The Breeders' Cup Mile is probably where we will be pointing. We were trying to get him back to form after what he went through. I told Juan [Hernandez] 'Come back with bugs on your teeth.' It was good to see him put on a show today. You saw the champion Citizen Bull today.” The victor is his dam's first winning offspring from three to the races. No Joke, herself a half-sister to MGISW Moonshine Memories (Malibu Moon) and SW & GSP Indian Evening (Indian Charlie), has a yearling colt by Mandaloun and a 2025 colt by Life Is Good to her credit. Another of the dam's half-sisters is the mother of MGSW Souper Hoity Toity (Uncle Mo). This is the extended female family of MGISW Tiz the Law (Constitution) and the immediate one of Horse of the Year Favorite Trick. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr., who was thrown from Mindframe (Constitution) shortly after the start of the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup Sunday at Saratoga, was sent to Albany Medical for evaluation. Release of the results of those tests were still pending Sunday evening. “Mindframe seems to be okay,” owner Mike Repole said in a video posted to X after the race. “My biggest concern is Irad. I went out there to check on him. He's an incredible kid. He's in a lot of pain. Right forearm, maybe thumb. And his rib. A lot of pain on the left side on his rib.” Ortiz was dislodged from his mount after Phileas Fogg (Astern {Aus}) veered inward at the start of the race, causing a chain reaction with the horses to his inside. After being knocked off Mindframe, Ortiz briefly ended up on the back of White Abarrio (Race Day) just to his outside before falling to the track. Flavien Prat, aboard trailing favorite Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) swerved in an attempt to avoid the fallen rider. “I hope Irad is okay,” Chad Brown, trainer of Sierra Leone, said. “That's my main concern. Our horse is the one that went over the top of him and my concern is for him.” The post Ortiz Injured in Gold Cup Incident appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
