    • Delaware Park Casino, the Delaware Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, the Delaware Jockeys' Health and Welfare Benefit Fund and the Delaware Park Jockeys Association teamed up to donate $20,000 to the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF), the organizations announced in a joint statement Saturday. Delaware Park has developed a unique funding mechanism for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund donation as, over the course of the live racing season, each jockey donates a dollar from each mount fee. Delaware Park Casino, the Delaware Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association and the Delaware Jockeys' Health and Welfare Benefit Fund each match the dollar. “Through the years, Delaware Park has been very fortunate to have an incredible jockey colony,” said Kevin DeLucia, Chief Financial Officer at Delaware Park. “We are very thankful for the risks and sacrifices they make every day so we can enjoy great racing. We are proud to gather today together to make this small gesture of generosity to the PDJF.” For more information on the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund or to donate, click here.

    • After watching 'TDN Rising Star' Wild Desert (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) and Dance to the Music (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) defeated as the favorites in the GI Summer Stakes and GI Natalma Stakes, respectively, Team Godolphin got a measure of revenge when long odds-on 'TDN Rising Star' NOTABLE SPEECH (IRE) (c, 4, Dubawi {Ire}–Swift Rose {Ire}, by Invincible Spirit {Ire}) came storming down the center of the inner turf course and Woodbine and stamped his authority on Saturday's GI Rogers Woodbine Mile. The victory secures the homebred a berth in the field for the GI Breeders' Cup Mile at Del Mar on Nov. 1. Off to a hesitant beginning from gate two and pinched back a few strides out of the gates, Notable Speech was bustled along to take up a centerfield position as My Boy Prince (Cairo Prince) took them along through decent fractions up front. Traveling strongly into the final three-eighths of a mile, Notable Speech was steered out four abreast at the quarter pole and stormed home full of run while racing on his incorrect lead to score by two lengths over the pacesetter. Gas Me Up (Hard Spun) was ridden prominently throughout by Flavien Prat and was beaten about four lengths into third. South Africa's One Stripe (SAf) (One World {SAf}) finished with interest from well back to split the field. It was a third win in the race for Godolphin, who took it with Modern Games (GB) and Master of the Seas (Ire), each of whom went on to success at the Breeders' Cup. Lifetime Record: 13-6-1-1. O/B-Godolphin; T-Charlie Appleby.   The post Notable Speech Outclasses Rivals In ‘WAYI’ Woodbine Mile appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Catch A Glimpse Stakes winner CORSIA VELOCE (f, 2, Practical Joke–Beth's Bling, by City Zip) stayed undefeated in three races as she took the GI Natalma Stakes at Woodbine for trainer Josie Carroll. Closing between horses from just off the rail, the 12-1 longshot had to out-close all comers including pacesetter La Culasse (Knicks Go) and Hot Mash (Not This Time) while 6-5 favorite Dance to the Music (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) came with a last-ditch bid from last but could do no better than fourth. With the win, Corsia Veloce earned an automatic spot in the gate for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar in November. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0.

    • Gun Runner, the Three Chimneys sensation whose yearlings topped the first four days of the ongoing Keeneland September sale, showed once again why he's in such demand as Spice Runner (c, 2, Gun Runner–Simple Surprise, by Cowboy Cal) captured the GIII Iroquois Stakes at Churchill Downs Saturday.  The one-turn, one-mile Iroquois awards the first points of the 2025-26 season to the 2026 GI Kentucky Derby on a 10-5-3-2-1 scale. A Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC homebred, Spice Runner sat well behind pacesetters Comport (Collected) and No More Cents (Goldencents) through :22.69 and :46.06 fractions before looking for a way through on the turn. He found it as Comport kicked clear. Weaving down the stretch and swapping to his wrong lead, Spice Runner reeled in Comport in a perfectly timed Jose Ortiz ride, just catching him by a head at the wire. Vost (Instagrand) finished third. A debut winner at Churchill May 23 before finishing off the board in the June 29 Bashford Manor Stakes, Spice Runner was second behind Comport in Ellis Park's Aug. 10 Juvenile Stakes. O/B Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC; T-Steve Asmussen; J-Jose Ortiz.
