Group 1 winner Whistlejacket has had his first mares scanned in foal. The son of No Nay Never, who stands at Haras de Grandcamp, commands €14,000 this year. The Prix Morny hero has multiple stakes-placed Epson Blu Cen (Blue Point) in foal, as well as Flame Of Fame (Shakespearean), the dam of stakes winner Feel Your Power (Captain Marvelous). Another mare in foal to the chestnut is U.S. stakes winner Barleysugar (Kyllachy), the dam of stakes performer Lord Wootton Cen (Wootton Bassett). Eric Lhermite said, “We are very pleased with the book of mares that Whistlejacket will cover in his first season. Around thirty black-type mares or mares that have already produced black-type performers have been entrusted to him. The horse has adapted very well to his new role as a stallion and quickly settled into life at the stud.” Whistlejacket was also placed in the G1 Phoenix Stakes and G1 Middle Park Stakes and won the G2 July Stakes.

Dedicated National Hunt social media channels across Instagram, X, TikTok and Facebook were launched by Coolmore on Thursday. As the cornerstone of Coolmore's heritage since the 1850s, these new channels will be the primary hub for Coolmore National Hunt news, race results, stallion updates, and sales information; as well as being an exclusive window into the daily operations at Coolmore's National Hunt bases of Grange Stud, Castlehyde, and The Beeches Stud. The launch reflects Coolmore's deep-rooted pride in National Hunt racing and its commitment to supporting the sector at every level – from the grassroots of point-to-pointing to the pinnacle of the season's major festivals. “National Hunt racing and breeding have always been a fundamental part of Coolmore's story,” said Catherine Magnier. “We are immensely proud of our long association with the breeders, owners, and trainers who form the backbone of this industry. We want to better highlight the achievements of the breeders we work with and share the day-to-day life of our National Hunt stallions in a way that reflects the passion and commitment that drive everything we do.” Follow Coolmore National Hunt on Instagram, X, TikTok, and Facebook to stay up to date with the latest news and behind-the-scenes content from across our farms.

In this continuing series, TDN's Senior Racing Editor Steve Sherack catches up with the connections of promising maidens to keep on your radar. Gilded Bandit (c, 3, Charlatan–Diamond Ore, by Tapit) had plenty of steam behind him ahead of his debut on the stacked Coolmore Fountain of Youth program at Gulfstream Park Feb. 28. He fired back-to-back bullet drills at Bill Mott's Payson Park base, including a four-furlong move in :48 (1/53) Feb. 20, and was well-supported as the 3-1 second-choice off a 10-1 morning-line quote in a deep six-furlong maiden special weight. The Pin Oak Stud newcomer was quickly outfooted from his wide draw, however, and only had one beaten in ninth through an opening quarter in :22.34. He re-entered the picture in sixth as the race's eventual winner Lincoln's Law (Liam's Map), a half-brother to MGISW Chancer McPatrick (McKinzie), and favored runner-up Quentin B (Promises Fulfilled) continued to do battle up front passing the quarter pole. Guided to the inside by Junior Alvarado for the stretch run, Gilded Bandit came home fastest of all (clocked in splits of :11.75 and :12.40) to finish a promising fourth, beaten 3 1/4 lengths, in a race dominated on the front end. The final time for six furlongs was 1:10.44 over the fast going. Gilded Bandit earned a respectable 76 Beyer Speed Figure for the effort. “We were very pleased with his debut,” said Michael Hardy, Pin Oak Stud's Director of Farm Operations. “We are hopeful that he will improve from the experience and graduate next time out. After that, we can start to consider options for the remainder of the year.” Hailing from the first crop of 2020 GI Arkansas Derby and GI Malibu S. winner and 2021 G1 Saudi Cup runner-up Charlatan, Gilded Bandit brought $550,000 from Pin Oak Stud as a Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling. Bred in Kentucky by Taylor Made Stallions Inc., Brunacini Stables, Clearview Stable LLC, et al, the chestnut was produced by the stakes-placed mare Diamond Ore, a half-sister to the gone-too-soon Hall of Famer Arrogate (Unbridled's Song). Diamond Ore RNA'd for $745,000 carrying Gilded Bandit at the 2022 Fasig-Tipton November sale. Gilded Bandit's fourth dam Meadow Star was the champion 2-year-old filly of 1990. Since launching 'Second Chances' in 2017, 78 maidens have been featured in these pages (through 2025), producing 22% graded stakes winners, 31% stakes winners and 45% stakes horses. The series has introduced eight future winners at the top level, led by 2025 Horse of the Year and dual Classic winner Sovereignty (Into Mischief), 2023 Horse of the Year Cody's Wish (Curlin) and fellow two-time Breeders' Cup winner Golden Pal (Uncle Mo). Last Saturday's GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth S. winner Commandment (Into Mischief) was profiled in 'Second Chances' following a debut fourth at Keeneland last fall.
