    • Down in trip to the one-turn mile after trying nine furlongs in his two most recent appearances, SEIZE THE GREY (c, 3, Arrogate–Smart Shopping, by Smart Strike) took advantage of a lightning-quick pace up ahead of him an plugged on gamely through the final sixteenth of a mile to cause a 9-1 upset in Saturday's GII Pat Day Mile at Churchill Downs. Between horses through an opening quarter in :22.12, Seize the Grey dropped back a spot or two as the half, cut out by 'TDN Rising Star' Vlahos (Kantharos), went in :44.59. Just in behind the leaders turning for home with the pace very much still on, Seize the Grey bumped with an outside rival, and therefore went for an inside run into the final furlong. Vlahos battled on gamely despite the taxing fractions, but ultimately he ran out of steam as Seize the Grey edged past in the dying strides. Fellow 'TDN Rising Star' Nash (Medaglia d'Oro) was up late to touch Vlahos out of second. Third to Endlessly (Oscar Performance) and West Saratoga (Exaggerator) in the GIII Jeff Ruby Steaks Mar. 23, Seize the Grey was a latest seventh to Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) in the GI Toyota Blue Grass S. Apr. 6. Sales history: $300,000 Ylg '22 FTSAUG.

After a close tussle, Jack Kennedy earned his first Irish Champion Jockey title, just edging out Paul Townend, who was aiming for his seventh year-end award. The full list of champions for the 2023/2024 National Hunt season are as follows: Champion Owner: JP McManus Champion Trainer: Willie Mullins Champion Jockey: Jack Kennedy Champion Conditional: Danny Gilligan Champion Amateur: Patrick Mullins Champion Lady Amateur: Jody Townend HRI chief executive, Suzanne Eade, said, “It has come down to the final day of the season but we now have our six champions confirmed and many congratulations to JP, Willie, Jack, Danny, Patrick and Jody. Jack and Paul served up a thrilling finale to the jockeys' championship and their tussle certainly added to the excitement of the concluding weeks of the season. I recognise that there are many thousands working behind the scenes and away from the limelight, and I thank them so much for their efforts that keeps the show on the road.” Kennedy said, “It's an unbelievable feeling to have won the championship. Paul got close enough in recent weeks to give me loads of sleepless nights but I'm delighted to have hung on. I've had a great 12 months, leading the championship for much of the way and riding over 100 winners in a season for the first time in my career.” Added Mullins, “It's fair to say that this has been our best season at home and abroad, and it is a credit to our hardworking and dedicated team that we are celebrating again today. Congratulations to all champions today, especially Jack on winning his first champion jockey title.” McManus said, “It's such a great honour to win this title and I feel so lucky. My sincere thanks to all the trainers, jockeys, stable staff and all who contributed so much to my success. I have had wonderful days out with my family, grandchildren and friends and the season has given me memories which I will greatly treasure.” The post Jack Kennedy Takes Tight Jockeys’ Race As Irish NH Champions Crowned At Punchestown appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
