Andrea Atzeni is looking to continue the momentum of last week’s Wednesday treble when he teams up with the likes of hat-trick seeking Amazing Kid, Refusetobeenglish and I Can at Happy Valley seven days on. The Sardinian jockey surged up to 19 winners for the season after the Sha Tin dirt treble and a week later, he has another strong book ahead of him with his sights set on third in the jockeys’ premiership. “It was good to get a treble last week, I did have good rides but as we all know,...View the full article

By Adam Hamilton Champion horseman Luke McCarthy could hardly contain his excitement after New Zealand Cup winner Kingman drew perfectly in gate one for Saturday night’s $150,000 Group 1 Cranbourne Cup (2555m). It is a huge advantage when he clashes for the first time in the same race with both Leap To Fame and Swayzee. Leap To Fame, who led throughout to beat Kingman into fourth spot in last Saturday night’s Group 2 Ballarat Cup, will start from gate four. Swayzee, winner of two NZ Cups and the reigning Hunter Cup hero, fared worst with the outside draw (gate seven) in a field of just seven. “You beauty. That’s huge. The draws are just so important when you get these great horses together,” McCarthy said. The draw looks especially important to Kingman given it’s his fourth run in as many weeks and his only win in his past three starts came when he drew the pole and led throughout in the Shepparton Cup to beat Leap To Fame. Kingman sat one-one when a lacklustre third to Bulletproof Boy in the Bendigo Cup on January 10. You could cut him slack on that given a hectic travel schedule in extreme heat. But the five-year-old looked all at sea when he hung very badly at times after sitting outside Leap To Fame and tired late for fourth. “He just didn’t handle the tight bends at all at Ballarat,” McCarthy said. Cranbourne has a tricky home bend, but Kingman, like all pacers, will handle it much better against the marker pegs. He looks like a certain leader. What will be fascinating is how Swayzee is driven from the wide draw and whether that creates a rare opportunity for Grant Dixon to drive Leap To Fame with a trail. To have all three superstars in the same race is awesome for Cranbourne and rewards the club for boosting prize money by $50,000 and gaining Group 1 status for its Cup. Between them, the trio has won 110 races and earned almost $8.3 million in prize money. Although this is the first time they have clashed, Kingman holds a 3-1 lead over Leap To Fame in their meetings and Swayzee is 1-1 with Kingman so far. In contrast, Saturday night’s $75,000 Group 1 Cranbourne Trotters’ Cup looks like another easy win for the amazing Keayang Zahara. She should work to the front and post her 23rd win from 24 starts. Victory this week would mean she only has to add the $250,000 Group 1 Great Southern Star at Melton on February 14 to cement the new $500,000 bonus. View the full article

One of the Australia’s most talented juveniles, Warwoven (Sword Of State), won’t be racing for next month’s Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield and remains in doubt for the autumn juvenile riches in Sydney. Trainer Bjorn Baker said on Tuesday that the colt had been sent for a short let-up after his sensational Magic Millions scratching earlier this month, but he was due to return to the stable at the end of the week with an eye to reviving his Golden Slipper prospects. The son of Sword Of State was most impressive in his first two wins over the summer, but he did not get the chance to race as the odds-on favourite for the A$3 million Magic Millions Classic (1200m) on the Gold Coast earlier this month after veterinary stewards ordered his withdrawal due to signs of lameness. He had held the position as the third favourite for the Blue Diamond Stakes on February 21 and was still marked on Tuesday as the co-favourite at $8 for the March 21 Golden Slipper Stakes. “We’ll try to get him to the Slipper, but we’ll just take it one step at a time,” Baker said on Tuesday. “We thought he was OK to run (in the Magic Millions) and they (veterinary stewards) didn’t, so that’s the way it goes.” “If we have any doubts with him, we’ll put him straight out.” Baker said he was disappointed not to have had his first Blue Diamond Stakes contender this year, but said he expected his stable could still impact in Melbourne this autumn. “Hopefully we will be down with Caballus in the Newmarket Handicap and we will also consider the (Black Caviar) Lightning Stakes with him,” Baker said. “Pericles will definitely go to the Futurity first-up. He trialed really well this morning at Randwick and I think he’s in for a good prep.” Baker said the last start Champions Mile runner-up was likely to stay on in Melbourne to tackle races like the G1 $2 million All-Star Mile at Flemington on March 7 and the G1 $2 million Australian Cup (2000m) at Flemington on March 28.

Robbie Patterson isn’t letting weight and pedigree queries dent his confidence with One Bold Cat (NZ) (The Bold Cat) ahead of Saturday’s Gr. 3 NZCIS Wellington Cup (3200m). The New Plymouth trainer reports that everything has gone to plan with One Bold Cat since running on the first two days of the Trentham carnival. Ridden by main stable jockey Craig Grylls, in the first of those races, One Bold Cat won the Listed Marton Cup (2200m), followed by a late-closing third in the Gr.3 Trentham Stakes (2100m). “I couldn’t be happier with him, he’s as good as he could be,” Patterson said. “Craig said just keep doing what I’ve been doing, so it’s all gone smoothly.” Patterson does concede that One Bold Cat will be obliged to carry clear topweight in Saturday’s staying test, while the gelding’s pedigree does raise stamina queries, but neither is a great concern. His anticipated handicap of 59kgs is some five kilograms more than the favourite Rosso, however Patterson makes a relevant point. “It’s not like the days of Great Sensation when he carried those massive weights, there was a much lower minimum back then and my horse has already managed big weights. “As far as pedigree goes, we won the (2024 Wellington) Cup with Mary Louise, who was also by The Bold One from a mare by a sprinting stallion and that didn’t stop her. “All I know is we’ve got a horse in the right form, we set him for the race a long time ago, and everything has gone to plan.” Patterson is also looking forward to lining up stable members Belles Fate (Rating 75 1600m), Sir Bruce (Rating 65 2100m) and Wild At Heart (MAAT 1699m) in support races on Saturday’s card. “Belles Fate won at Trentham last season and has gone well in her last two starts on the track over 1400. She’ll enjoy stepping up to 1600 on Saturday. “We entered Sir Bruce for Remutaka Classic but he needed to win another race to make the cut. He’s well placed in his own grade though after finishing fourth in a similar race there last week. “Wild At Heart won her first start on the home track at Christmas and that was a good effort for fifth in the MAAT race at Trentham last time, so she’s well worth another shot at a decent stake.” View the full article

Sir Brendan and Lady Jo Lindsay decided to support the milestone 100th edition of New Zealand’s National Yearling Sale with 100 percent of Cambridge Stud’s yearlings that were for sale this season, and that commitment was richly rewarded with a Book 1 triumph that they and their team will never forget. Across two outstanding days of selling at Karaka on Sunday and Monday, Cambridge Stud sold 50 of the 54 yearlings they offered. They earned an aggregate of $10.64 million and an average price of $212,800. Cambridge Stud finished $4.74 million ahead of second-placed Waikato Stud to be crowned leading vendor – their second such title since the Lindsays purchased the esteemed nursery from 31-time leading vendors Sir Patrick and Lady Hogan a decade ago. The Lindsay-owned Cambridge Stud was also the leading vendor in 2021, when they sold 45 yearlings for a total of $5.7 million at an average of $126,667. The obvious highlight came towards the end of the Book 1 session on Monday with the eagerly anticipated sale of Lot 513, a colt from the second crop of exciting Cambridge Stud stallion Sword Of State. The half-brother to four-time Group One winner Ceolwulf was purchased by Mr Sanxiong Gao and Ciaron Maher Bloodstock for a sale-topping $1.1 million. “It means a lot, because there’s a whole lot of things going on here,” Sir Brendan Lindsay said. “John Foote bought the dam for us (Las Brisas), and he was helping us even before we had Cambridge Stud. And since then he’s bought horses for us in England and France. “And then David Ellis was the underbidder. We bought Sword Of State off David. “It’s an awful lot of money and it tells the industry that, from a $15,000 service fee, you can actually turn it into $1 million. “And it’s encouraging for New Zealand. You know, we’re a great country and we breed the best horses. It’s great for New Zealand, because it gives everybody a leg up. This is great for our country and our breeding industry. “More important from our point of view is what it means to Henry Plumptre, Scott Calder, Cameron Ring, Ben Tappenden and the whole crew – all the people that do the long hours and the hard hours. They were over there crying their eyes out. They are so emotional and relieved. It’s a moment that they’re going to remember for the rest of their lives. “Everybody’s heard it before, but the point is that this is a fantastic game. Jo and I believe in our country, and everything we do is about New Zealand. “It’s the 100-year anniversary of an iconic New Zealand brand, the National Yearling Sale, and we’re happy to be part of it. “Sir Patrick always celebrated other people’s success as well as his own, and I’d like to think he would have been proud. And Lady Justine and their family have been so supportive of Jo and I.” Along with the $1.1 million sale-topper, five other Cambridge Stud yearlings sold for $400,000 or more. A colt by Snitzel out of Amarelinha was bought by Chris Waller Racing and Mulcaster Bloodstock for $850,000, while Mulberry Racing paid $650,000 for an Anamoe colt out of Save The Date. Shijiazhuang Hongtao Horse Breeding secured a Savabeel colt out of Allemande for $550,000, Scott Cameron and Cameron Cooke went to $475,000 for a Sword Of State filly out of Fuld’s Bet, and Stephen Marsh Racing and Dylan Johnson Bloodstock paid $420,000 for a filly by Sword Of State out of Botanic. Four of those six top-priced lots in the Cambridge draft were purchased by Australian buyers, and Sir Brendan Lindsay recognised the massive role that they played during Book 1 of Karaka 2026. Visitors from across the Tasman combined for a total of 184 purchases on Sunday and Monday (35 percent of the total number of yearlings sold) for an aggregate of over $39 million. “A lot of New Zealand breeders have supported us, and a lot of them have made money out of Sword Of State in particular, which is great and means they can reinvest it,” Sir Brendan Lindsay said. “But a result like this would not have happened without our Australian friends coming across the Tasman and wanting to buy New Zealand bloodstock. They’re the ones that have been buying the horses this week.” View the full article

In the sixth instalment of The Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Road to the Derby series, Manfred Man’s Patch Of Cosmo (NZ) (Super Seth) is in the spotlight after returning from injury with a striking victory at Sha Tin recently. With just days until the first leg of the prestigious 2025/26 Four-Year-Old Classic Series – the HK$13 million Hong Kong Classic Mile (1600m) this Sunday (1 February) – and with the 149th HK$26 million BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m) on 22 March on the horizon, Patch Of Cosmo has stamped himself as one of the city’s leading four-year-olds after brushing off a tendon injury. Victorious in four of 11 starts before the left fore tendon injury he suffered in March last year, Patch Of Cosmo’s fifth career success – a barnstorming effort down the middle of the track in the Class 3 Tennis 1600m Handicap on 18 January – pushed his career prize money past HK$5 million. The son of Waikato Stud stallion Super Seth lifted himself to a rating of 84 with his recent Sha Tin success, making him the joint-sixth highest-rated galloper among the entries for this weekend’s Hong Kong Classic Mile. Man earned praise from Zac Purton for his training effort after the jockey booted the galloper to victory under top weight of 135lb on 18 January. However, the star Australian has committed to riding Pierre Ng-trained Sagacious Life on Sunday. That means Matthew Chadwick gets his chance to reunite with Patch Of Cosmo after winning twice from three rides aboard the gelding last season. “I like this horse. He’s a lovely character and he’s got a lovely big stride on him. He’s always given me a good feel, and I was never certain where his ceiling was,” Chadwick said. “It was unfortunate he had that setback last season. I liked the way he was going about his work and his races. “You’d like to think he’s got improvement for the run and having a win under his belt. The way it looked, it was a nice race to come back into – the way it was run, and he got a nice run through carrying top weight. “They’re all positives coming back and I’m sure Manfred has him well. It seems he pulled up nicely and he’s ticking all of the boxes. “It’s shaping up to be a very open, competitive field, so it’s going to be very interesting. But I don’t think he’ll be out of place. Last season, I was very happy with him.” Patch Of Cosmo will take on the likes of Sagacious Life, Little Paradise, Invincible Ibis and Beauty Bolt in a vintage edition of the Hong Kong Classic Mile. “It’s shaping up to be a good mile. Hopefully they go a nice even tempo that gives everyone a chance and then the best horse will win,” Chadwick said. “It’s a very good year and the Club will be very happy. It looks like a lot of them haven’t hit their peak and it looks like there will be five or six who will be rated over 100 eventually. “It’s an exciting race and hopefully it will be a good finish. This is exciting for Hong Kong racing. I’m excited and I rarely say that. It’s a race that you want to watch.” The Contenders Name Rating Trainer Owner Record Country of Origin Import Type Sagacious Life 97 Pierre Ng Leslie Lui Chi Yuen 2-0-0-3 Brazil PP Little Paradise 95 Jimmy Ting Ko Kam Piu 5-1-1-8 Australia PPG Invincible Ibis 91 Mark Newnham Ibis Syndicate 4-2-1-7 Australia PPG Numbers 90 Frankie Lor 23/24 Frankie Lor Fu Chuen Trainer Syndicate 1-0-1-2 New Zealand PP Patch Of Cosmo 84 Manfred Man Simon Yeung Chun Kin 5-0-0-12 New Zealand PPG Regal Gem 83 Frankie Lor Everest Syndicate 3-1-0-9 Great Britain PP Top Dragon 81 Chris So Vincent To Wai Keung, Kenneth To Kin Ting & Ronald To Yiu Ting 3-3-2-11 Australia PPG View the full article

There's a special feel about this place: very different from some of the bigger farms around Lexington, with their miles of fencing leading to wide horizons. Here trees fill the undulations like green mist, and then there's this gem of a house, faithfully reproduced from a much older one in New Hampshire that Dede McGehee came across in a book one day. Hummingbirds flit into the flower baskets on the veranda. Overall, Heaven Trees Farm feels very apt to its name. “Except when I looked into it, it turned out that the Tree of Heaven is an invasive tree, thorny and very noxious!” McGehee says with a chuckle. But she doesn't let that detail trouble her. As far as she's concerned, Heaven Trees was always a family name: a book by Stark Young, who followed up with the neglected Civil War classic So Red the Rose. “Which is a Gone with the Wind kind of book,” she explains. “And it's about a family of McGehees. So, the house my father grew up in, they called Heaven Trees. And later on my aunt had a hunter jumper venue in Jacksonville, Florida, and that was called Heaven Trees, too.” The latest version entered her life 30 years ago, alongside a farm that she leased just behind Keeneland. Having left her job with a Versailles veterinary practice, she put her own band of mares together and boarded others for clients. Plenty of seasonal mares, plus a few permanent ones for people who were friends as much as they were clients. People like the late Dolphus Morrison, a very special man-who left her a very special legacy. Which is why we're troubling McGehee with a visit. Because this is a story people need to hear. “I mean, who does that?” she asks, recounting the gesture Morrison made when his deteriorating health required him to have a dispersal sale. She is palpably moved, recalling it; not really sure, in fact, whether it is too precious, too personal to be shared. It's just that people need to know how big a heart Morrison had. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Let's rewind a little, to when McGehee's bad luck proved the prelude to something better. Her bad luck was to develop a pulmonary condition. The doctors couldn't figure it out, but somehow she didn't have the oxygen to deliver a foal, never mind spend all her time in barns with musty straw and hay, or people smoking. Eventually they traced the problem to her pet birds: she had a cockatoo and a cockatiel, and it turned out she had an allergy to… cockatoos and cockatiels. “So, I stepped back,” she explains. “Got rid of the birds, went on steroids, and gave up my practice. I said I'd just board mares and do all my own [vet] work. Because I could control my environment. And that's what I did. Leased two farms, kept it all in-house. And I loved it: I had great clients, and a great crew.” Love it as she did, though, she couldn't keep going forever at 20 hours a day. “I did it for a long time, but at some point there has to be more to life,” she reasons. “I had raised horses all this time, and watched other people race them, and have fun watching them run, so I thought maybe I could do that too. So, I shut down the boarding operation. I let the leased farms go, and brought it all home: just my own mares, and Mr. Morrison's.” And, well, Morrison was always going to be the exception. For a start, their own relationship had become something to treasure. Dr. Dede McGehee (DVM) on her farm Heaven Trees | Courtesy Dr. Dede McGehee “He was like a father to me,” McGehee says. “My favorite client of all time. Never micromanaged. Never took bad news badly. And really smart. He grew up in rural Alabama, and built up a steel business from nothing. He was a horseman, too. He and his daughter did those competitive 100-mile rides when she was a teenager. He had Quarter Horses at first, I'm pretty sure that Hal Wiggins was his first [Thoroughbred] trainer. Anyway, he ended up having quite a few mares. And I had an old horse-trading friend who had sold Dolph some mares, and Dolph asked where he should put them. That's how he came here. And he just trusted me. He would say, 'If you have a problem, take care of it and call me later.'” One of these mares was a homebred daughter of Roar, trained by Wiggins to win on debut and then a stakes at the Fair Grounds on her fourth start. “But then a day or two later, she fell coming up through the gap on the concrete,” McGehee recalls. “She split her whole butt down to her hock, it was like 160 stitches. So, she was done, and came to us. And she was tough. She'd been very tough at the racetrack, tough to saddle, tough to blacksmith. She's not mean. She just doesn't like to be messed with, would rather you leave her alone and admire her from afar.” But it was hardly the mare's fault if her first foal, by Medaglia d'Oro, did not endear her to motherhood. “Well, it was a big foal, a difficult foaling,” McGehee points out. “And then she had no milk. It's just something that happens sometimes. It wasn't that the foal was early. She just had absolutely no milk; her bag looked like a mare that had never been bred. Anyway, she had no interest in that filly. When we'd got the nurse mare, she walked straight out of the barn, never nickered, never even looked back. So, we didn't know if that was always going to be her. But no, she was fine. The next year she wasn't the most doting, but she liked him and tolerated being mother. And the next one, she loved. So, she got better and better. I think the maternal was always in there. It was just circumstances that caused her to reject that first foal.” As a result, anyhow, it wasn't even Thoroughbred milk that launched that foal on her journey to becoming Horse of the Year in 2009. For by this stage, you have probably recognized her as Rachel Alexandra, and the mare as Lotta Kim. And that means we can now return to that conversation, in the summer of 2012, when Morrison told McGehee that it was time to break up his program. Actually, it wasn't the first time he had talked that way, but on this occasion it felt different. Both Morrison and his wife had their health problems–something that had contributed to the sale of Rachel Alexandra, after her 20-length win in the GI Kentucky Oaks–and he knew the end of the road was nearing. (He died in 2016.) “But he didn't say, 'How much will my horses bring?'” recalls McGehee. “He didn't say, 'What are they worth?' He said, 'What are you going to do?' I said, 'Well, I'll probably do what I should have done a long time ago. And that's have five good mares, and race everything.' And actually, that has never happened – and probably never will! But that was the goal. And then he said, 'We want Lotta Kim to be one of those five.'” McGehee pauses to gather her emotions. “Who does that?” she repeats. “Really. I mean, people don't even do that for their families. But I loved him, he loved me, and he loved my help. When he sold Rachel, he gave them a bunch of money. He was just a good guy. And so that's what we did. I gave him a dollar.” Lotta Kim and her 2025 Forte filly born Feb. 18 at Dede McGehee's Heaven Trees Farm | Courtesy Dr. Dede McGehee The scale of the legacy became staggeringly clear when a Bolt d'Oro colt out of Lotta Kim made $1.4 million at Saratoga in 2021; and then when a brother to Rachel Alexandra brought $1.35 million from Epic Horses at the 2024 Keeneland September Sale. (Named Epic d'Oro, he is currently breezing at Gulfstream.) “Oh, he was beautiful,” McGehee recalls. “Pretty from day one. But I did not think he would do that. That was a complete surprise. And what was nice, the one at Saratoga my crew couldn't be there, but they could be there for this one.” There will be no more days like that, however: not only because Lotta Kim has now been retired, at 24, but because her last foal, safely delivered this spring, was a Forte filly who will be going nowhere. McGehee was ecstatic when the embryo was sexed. “I knew it would probably be her last one,” she explains. “So, my veterinarian–I don't do my own work anymore–and my farm manager raced to text me first, to tell me it was a filly. And everything went perfect. She's a pro. Except for the first time, of course, with Rachel. She does all the work. We never have to help her very much. But I just think it's time. She gave me a filly, and did it easily. I'm not going to tempt fate. “She doesn't actually look like an old mare. Some of them, you can see it in their face. I've always had older mares here: that was what I started out doing, because I could buy them inexpensively. I could work on them myself, and it was a challenge that I loved. And so, when I'd look at mares at the sale, if they looked old out of their eye, I wouldn't try.” Lotta Kim will be in good company, then, with eight or nine pensioned friends sharing the paddock. “She has mellowed with age,” McGehee says. “But she still likes her routine. If you get off routine, you might have a little trouble catching her! You know, things have got to be her idea.” There are still 20 mares in service, more than McGehee feels sensible. “I do want to cut back,” she says. “I always go back to what I told Mr. Morrison, that I should have five good mares and race everything. But how do you pick? Obviously, I can't keep them all. But at my time of life, I just want to have fun. I want to go watch my horses run. What I'd really like to do is watch one of them win an Oaks!” She actually got within a neck of doing so in 2011, with the homebred St. John's River (Include). And while there was no way McGehee could adequately return the gift she had received from Morrison, she was then at least able to try. “When Rachel ran, they hadn't been able to do all that pre-Oaks stuff: the mornings, the walkover,” she recalls. “So, this time, he came for the week and did all those things he hadn't got to do before. I think he appreciated what he had missed, that time. I haven't really been ready to tell this story. But now Kim is done, now that she's going out in that pasture with the trees and the creek, where she'll be very happy…. I just want people to know how wonderful and gracious he was.” The post The Heavenly Bequest of Rachel’s Breeder appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
