Yes probably right @mikeynz. More important for the benefit of the club itself too than the wider industry since they get the majority of the wagering profit from that.

Wonder why they'd run it out of its class?

MGISW, 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' and Eclipse Award-finalist Ted Noffey (Into Mischief) had his first work on the year when he breezed three furlongs in :37.01 Friday morning at Palm Beach Downs. “It went super,” said trainer Todd Pletcher. “Everything went great. He did it well in hand with good enthusiasm. It seems like he's maintained his fitness level fairly well, so we're very pleased. He's put on some weight and filled out, but he was a pretty mature 2-year-old, physically. He was a good-sized colt to begin with, so we're pleased with the way he's developed physically. It was nice to see him back working. He's always been a good work horse. He's fun to watch.” The GII Fountain of Youth Stakes will be run Feb. 28 at Gulfstream Park. Another one of Pletcher's top 3-year-old, Nearly (Not This Time) was also on the work tab. He breezed a half-mile in :50.02. “We were kind of perplexed by his debut. He had trained very well prior to that. He's seemed a little green, but he's made good progress in his next two starts,” Pletcher said of Nearly. “He's been very impressive. He worked great this morning, so we're very happy with him.” The post Ted Noffey Returns To The Work Tab, Eyes Fountain Of Youth appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

A field of 11, led by Gun Runner S. winner Chip Honcho (Connect), will line up in Saturday's GIII Lecomte S. at Fair Grounds, good for 20-10-6-4-2 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. The Gun Runner was Chip Honcho's first try around two turns and third career start for Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen. The Leland Ackerley Racing colorbearer is drawn widest of all in post 11. The re-opposing Ohio-bred Crown the Buckeye (Yaupon), favored at 4-1 on the Lecomte morning-line, set the pace and tired late to finish third that day. Trainer Brad Cox will saddle a trio, including Calumet Farm homebred Thunder Buck (Gun Runner), a popular maiden winner at second asking over track and trip Dec. 20. “Based off pedigree and what he's shown us so far, the further the better for him,” Cox said. “I thought he had a good gallop out in his first run as well there (finishing fourth) at Keeneland (Oct. 16). The further they go, the better he's gonna get.” The rail-drawn Quality Mischief (Into Mischief), fourth at 25-1 in the Gun Runner; and White Tiger (Constitution), a maiden winner at second asking at Churchill Downs last time Oct. 26; round out the Cox trio. Golden Tempo (Curlin) heads right into the deep end for trainer Cherie DeVaux following a visually impressive last-to-first debut victory going six furlongs at Fair Grounds Dec. 20, good for 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' honors. The stacked 13-race Lecomte program also features the GIII Louisiana S., topped by 8-5 morning-line favorite Just a Touch (Justify); and the Fasig-Tipton Silverbulletday S. for 3-year-old fillies.

needing a good sale...   Lot 459 Proisir x Gracehill filly “I can't not mention the half-sister to Crocetti. I’m lucky enough to be vending her on behalf of Daniel Nakhle. It's a family that Daniel has developed very well through the likes of Irish Colleen, Crosshaven, Killarney, and Crocetti, who has won a Railway (Gr.1, 1200m) and 2000 Guineas (Gr.1, 1600m). She's a November foal, but you wouldn't think it. I think the guys from the New Zealand Bloodstock team are quite surprised with where she's got to now. She's a lovely filly going forward into the sale, and got that real residual value.”

sigh, no, starting in R3 instead...
