    • No, "as the sunset goes down" is generally not considered a true oxymoron.  While it might feel redundant, an oxymoron specifically requires the combination of two contradictory or opposite terms (e.g., "deafening silence," "bittersweet").  Here is why "as the sunset goes down" does not fit: Definition of Sunset: The phrase "set" in sunset already implies the sun is moving downward toward the horizon. Redundancy vs. Contradiction: Saying the sunset "goes down" is a redundancy (using more words than necessary) or a descriptive phrase. It is not a contradiction because "down" is exactly where the sun goes during a "set."  When would it be an oxymoron? If you said "the rising sunset" or "the sunset went up," those would be oxymorons, as they pair contradictory ideas (rising/setting or up/down).   (ends)    As ever!!! isn't the key! that if you have a relationship with the Industry, then how can you get some fun and excitement along the way!  ps,  the Two Industries that come with the most Propaganda!

    • The winning Florida-bred 3-year-old filly Ifyousaidso (Cajun Breeze) topped the 2026 OBSOnline January Sale for 2-Year-Olds and Horses of Racing Age when she sold to Dare to Dream Stable Management LLC for $110,000 Friday. Consigned as hip 402 by breeder Shadybrook Farm, Ifyousaidso is a full-sister to multiple stakes winner Cajun Casanova and stakes-placed Full Disclosure. On the board in all four lifetime starts, Ifyousaidso is a winner on both dirt and turf. She last worked Jan. 29, going three furlongs in :36 3/5 at Gulfstream Park. Overall, the OBSOnline January sale grossed $297,400 with 14 horses sold and two RNAs. The 14 to sell averaged $21,243 with a median of $13,000. The top 2-year-old of the sale was a bay Collected filly out of MGISW Tough Tiz's Sis (Tiznow). Consigned by McKathan Bros. Sales as hip 403, the half-sister to GSW Tiz Midnight (Midnight Lute) sold for $22,000 to E-Class Racing.   The post OBSOnline January Sale Topped by $110K Ifyousaidso appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Nearly (Not This Time), an impressive winner of two straight by a combined 14 1/4 lengths, will make his two-turn debut in Saturday's GIII Holy Bull S. at Gulfstream Park. The Centennial Farms colorbearer earned a field-best 97 Beyer Speed Figure defeating three rivals in an optional claimer going seven furlongs at Gulfstream most recently Jan. 2. Produced by a winning Mineshaft mare, Nearly worked a bullet four furlongs in :48.59 (1/25) at Palm Beach Downs Jan. 24. He is the 9-5 morning-line favorite in the 1 1/16-mile Holy Bull, which offers 20-10-6-4-2 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. “Everything to us indicates that (two turns) should be to his advantage,” Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher said. “He's always trained like a horse that wanted more distance and he's got the pedigree to do it, so we're excited about stretching him out.” Cannoneer (Into Mischief) was a no-brainer 'TDN Rising Star presented by Hagyard' in the nightcap on the Stars of Tomorrow II card at Churchill Downs last out Nov. 29. Owned in partnership by St. Elias Stable and breeder Stonestreet Stables, the $1.75- million Keeneland September graduate delivered a 7 1/4-length maiden tally at second asking going seven furlongs that day, good for a 90 Beyer Speed Figure. Brad Cox trains. Pin Oak Stud's rail-drawn Incredibolt (Bolt d'Oro) makes his first start since delivering a smart, last-to-first victory in the GIII Street Sense S. at Churchill Downs Oct. 26. “We gave him a planned vacation at Pin Oak Stud, and they kept him ticking over for us until the beginning of December, at which point he came down here,” trainer Riley Mott said. “He hasn't missed a beat.” Buetane (Tiz the Law), runner-up in last summer's GI Spendthrift Farm Hopeful S. and the GII San Vicente S. Jan. 10, has been scratched in favor of next Friday's postponed GIII Southwest S. at Oaklawn Park. Gulfstream's 12-race program will feature five stakes races for 3-year-olds, including the GIII Forward Gal S., a seven-furlong prep for the Kentucky Oaks (20-10-6-4-2). 'TDN Rising Star presented by Hagyard' On Time Girl (Not This Time), last seen powering home first in the Fern Creek S. at Churchill Downs Nov. 29, is the 9-5 morning-line favorite for her sophomore debut. Her Cox-trained stablemate and fellow 'Rising Star' Sneaky Good (Into Mischief) made it two-for-two in the Sandpiper S. at Tampa Dec. 6. Last term's GIII Adirondack S. winner Mythical (St Patrick's Day) concluded her juvenile campaign with a pair of wins in the Florida Sire Susan's Girl S. Oct. 18 and FTBOA Florida Sire My Dear Girl S. Nov. 29, respectively. The latter was her first attempt around two turns. Saturday's graded action also includes: the GII San Pasqual S. and GIII Megahertz S. at Santa Anita; and the GIII Tampa Bay S. and GIII Endeavour S. at Tampa Bay Downs.
