Wandering Eyes

Perhaps the most salient aspect of Cherie DeVaux's 1-2 in one of the first GI Kentucky Derby rehearsals was that it didn't particularly feel like any kind of statement. It was just the sort of thing that now feels natural for a barn that took only six years to go from its first winner to a $10-million campaign, and has just housed its first Eclipse champion in She Feels Pretty (Karakontie {Jpn}). By sheer force of talent, DeVaux has rapidly dismantled some pretty lazy characterizations. She is no longer, for instance, described as a trailblazing female trainer. Yes, we can still admire how she has overcome gender bias in a male-dominated profession. But she is now a top trainer who happens to be female. By the same token, while she remains grateful to have one of the world's most accomplished bloodstock agents as a sounding board, people no longer know her as David Ingordo's wife, but Ingordo as DeVaux's husband. She is here, quite palpably, on her own terms. That said, even DeVaux is startled at the rate of her progress since saddling her first winner in 2019. “If you'd said back then that by now we'd have had a Breeders' Cup winner, multiple Grade Is, an Eclipse champion, I might have looked at you like you had eight heads,” she says. “I think I felt it would happen eventually, but it just seemed that once we got over the hump, right away things kept happening.” She has been around long enough, equally, to know that graphlines seldom run evenly. This time last year, she had just said farewell to the horse she will always cherish as responsible for her breakout–and More Than Looks (More Than Ready) really was a statement horse–and then had a dismal hometown meet at Keeneland last spring. But this is a lifelong horsewoman. She knows how the game can go and, perhaps most crucial to her rise, has ensured that her clientele are the right fit. “All along I've been really cognizant of trying to maintain my core values,” DeVaux stresses. “Which is to develop each horse, individualize the care to make them the best they can be, whether that means a Grade I winner or an allowance horse or just a nice one that can win a couple in the claiming ranks. Sometimes, in the very beginning, that could be hard. Hopefully people are realizing that the climate has changed, in the way we need to operate, but if you don't have the numbers, and a horse has problems, some people might be tempted to inject their way to pushing on. That was something I never did. And I think that just focused a lot of the clients that I still have now: they've been on board, they've been patient, and they've seen how it works out in the long term. She Feels Pretty with DeVaux on the pony | Sarah Andrew “There is always a learning curve with any new client. We can be best friends, go to dinner, but maybe my philosophies won't fit their expectations–and that's okay. It doesn't make one person wrong. It's just about making sure you have a good fit, for both of you. So I've always tried to say up front, here's how I operate and if this isn't for you, that's okay. My feelings won't get hurt, certainly not compared to somebody trying to get me to run in a spot I feel isn't right for the horse.” That kind of curation, of horse and owner alike, sits comfortably with DeVaux's desire to confine growth to quality rather than quantity. This is not a trainer who wants hundreds of horses in three different time zones. Selectivity is key. She not only wants clients on the same page but also expects to be pragmatic about cycling through quality. If a horse doesn't warrant its place in the barn, then it will be time to discuss a reset. That creates a kind of renewable energy that seems legible in an excellent start to 2026. All seven of her January winners at Fair Grounds have barely started their careers: three breaking their maidens second time out; another on debut; two following up debut wins in an allowance; and even when 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Golden Tempo (Curlin) beat Mesquite (Union Rags) in the GIII Lecomte Stakes, both were inexperienced horses stepping out of maidens. “In the beginning, we had what we had and worked with that,” DeVaux reflects. “Now we're getting a higher level. And, with the best of them, it's not just the next race coming up in the book. You're drawing up campaigns, you see their big target, work backwards. You dial them up, dial them back. A horse like She Feels Pretty, you know she shows up every time she runs. So that's where relationships with the clients and farms are great, you can all work together so each horse is where it needs to be when coming in.” Tristan and Val de Meric, for instance, are credited for their groundwork with the newly minted champion turf female, who has a hometown Breeders' Cup beckoning at the end of the year. On her only previous start at Keeneland, She Feels Pretty won the GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup by six lengths. At Del Mar she saw off the European raiders until the very last strides, but second still took her earnings past $2.5 million and she is approaching a peak of maturity. “She's an interesting study,” DeVaux says of her physical development. “She is a completely different horse from when she came in: big, rangy, lots of substance. That wasn't always the case. There were times she would get really light, and then all of a sudden she'd be taller and longer. A lot of getting her to where she is now was about backing off, when she was going through a growth spurt, and only pushing when she was ready.” A perfect example, then, of working with the individual and keeping discipline for an optimal path to development. That's why DeVaux especially relishes the spring, when the 2-year-olds come in and start offering some clues as to where they need to go together. “That's my favorite time, their early works,” DeVaux says. “You'll see one that looks afraid of getting close to his company and if you didn't know any better, you'd think that you might be in trouble. Then, a week later, completely different experience. He's on the inside, goes right through a hole. That's so rewarding, the 'a-ha!' moment: 'Oh, okay, I can do this.'” DeVaux with husband David Ingordo at the sales | Keeneland This, of course, is an operation with an unusually close handle on that development curve: not many trainers debate the scouting of talent at the sales with their spouses over breakfast. Obviously Ingordo has clients across the board, but it has clearly been fulfilling for both to move DeVaux's wish-list up the catalogue each passing year. “Might have to find a new bloodstock agent if we don't have a few to be excited about!” DeVaux says with a grin. “Our biggest challenge is that we're both really intense. So if one person's going to be upset and disappointed, then the other has to take their turn as voice of reason and be realistic. Because it's not just stakes races. It's every race, every sale. So if we got a bad ride, a bad post, somebody needs to say, 'That just happens, it's luck.' You can't have two people saying it's the end of the world. That would be like two horses running off together; it's not going to end up well for either! “We've both worked really hard, and sometimes it feels like it has all been the blink of an eye. At some point you do have to think, 'We need to make sure we have some quality of life.' Our work-home life balance is always going to be skewed towards work, but I'm good at saying, 'No, it's 7 p.m., we're not talking about this. Send a text or email and we'll revisit it in the morning.'” A bigger sales budget should help DeVaux to avoid any kind of turf pigeonholing. After all, these big dirt pedigrees cost big money. “And to get those kinds of horses, you have to prove yourself,” DeVaux adds. “The first couple of years we bought quick, early horses from the 2-year-old sales. Now we're trying to get more Classic horses. But everyone has to earn their stripes, to get those opportunities.” To that extent, Vahva (Gun Runner) laid down a significant marker as a Grade I winner on dirt. She, too, finished second at the Breeders' Cup, but DeVaux acknowledges that More Than Looks may have consumed a fair proportion of luck winning the Mile the previous year. He was quite a high-wire act, to get there at his peak, and it was only a couple of days later that DeVaux noticed the problem that led to his retirement. More Than Looks | Horsephotos “I always had faith in him but you were always having to do everything perfectly,” she says. “And when does a plan like that ever work? Never. I can still see it in my mind, almost in slow motion: 'Can you please switch your lead!?' He took forever to do that, but then as soon as he got going, 'Oh my God, he's going to win.' Something like that, it validates what you're doing every day.” Her thoughts in the winner's circle went straight to Chuck Simon, her mentor, who had died that summer. “Really I owe everything to him,” DeVaux says. “Chuck's first job was with my father and his harness horses. I was two, maybe. And when I started working on the racetrack, galloping at Saratoga, a friend said she had a job for me, to come and gallop for this guy, she'd take care of it. So the first week, after I gave my information for payroll, he's like, 'Hey, why didn't you tell me who you were?' I said, 'I don't need any favors. I just want to work and learn.'” Cherie DeVaux at Saratoga | Sarah Andrew That December, she broke her leg–the luckiest break of her life. “I was 23 and Chuck could see that I was a hard worker, driven and motivated, but needed blinkers,” DeVaux says. “So when I came back from that injury, he said he was going to teach me to be assistant trainer. I didn't think I wanted that responsibility. But he was like, no, this was what was going to happen. He saw it in me and thought it was almost like a civic duty. I was there six years. We had limited horses, so that's where the patience came in: do what you can with what you have.” Of course, she had an earlier grounding yet, with her father's Standardbreds. “Those are sturdier, hardier animals,” she reflects. “But it's all horsemanship, all hard work. I come from a long line of horsemen. My grandfather was a harness trainer. I rode my whole life. I used to barrel race and I had a mare that was so hard to ride. I'd be flying through the air at some rodeo and it was just 'get out of my way.' A couple times I tried to school her, it just made her worse. So it's different perspectives. Okay, we're not fixing that one, let's try to find how to get along with her. It's always learning. I'm super intense, as a person. Horses can be frustrating, when things go wrong like they will. But you just have to keep the 'mo' going, no matter what. Be positive. So long as you're doing the right thing, then don't panic and just keep moving forward.” The post DeVaux Keeping up the Tempo appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Midnight Martini (Yaupon) wasn't the quickest from the gate but found her feet within a few strides and was intent on the lead, rushing up from the middle of the line to set the fractions in this turf debut. Hounded early by Sugar Doll (Into Mischief), this 9-1 shot had to work to put that rival away into the far turn as the half went in :43.82. With a safe enough margin built up, Midnight Martini was able to kick away for home without fear of the closers, crossing the line two lengths in front of Horsing Around (Practical Joke). A $350,000 OBS April grad from her sire's first crop, the winner is out of a half-sister to GSW Strait From Texas (Judge T C), a mare who was picked up by Japan's Katsumi Yoshida for $450,000 at Keeneland November back in 2005. Tex Appeal, now with a perfect six-for-six strike rate of winners from runners, has already produced this winner's half-sister Gastown (Vancouver {Aus}), SP, $241,850. She has a 2-year-old Colonel Liam colt and went to Cogburn for this season.

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.

While a good portion of the country is tossing another log on the fire in an attempt to stave off the frigid temperatures, out in toasty Arcadia a group of maidens led by some intriguing prospects have assembled for a hot race. Chief among them is POTENTE (Into Mischief) who Speedway Stables made the second topper when they went to $2.4-million to acquire the colt at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale. Sent to trainer Bob Baffert, the first-time starter is out SP Sweet Sting (Awesome Again), who Gainesway bought for $385,000 during the 2024 Keeneland November Sale while Potente's full-sister was in utero. Sweet Sting–herself out of champion grass mare Perfect Sting (Red Ransom)–is also responsible for current juvenile filly You Didn't Know (Not This Time), a recent $430,000 Keeneland September buy for Lauren Carlisle. From the same shedrow as Potente, both Duntov (Maxfield) and Crude Velocity (Beau Liam) are set for their unveiling. The former, owned by the Three Amigos, is a $575,000 Keeneland September grad, while the latter came out of the OBS June Sale for $250,000 and is a CSLR color bearer. Lee and Susan Searing's C R K outfit spent a cool million last year at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May Sale on Deep Tracks (Nyquist), then trainer John Shirreffs took over. A half-brother to GISP Crystal Ball (Malibu Moon), the colt's extended female family includes GISW Madcap Escapade (Hennessy)–the dam of GISW Mi Sueno (Pulpit).

The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission (IRGC) approved a new three-year racing contract between Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino, the Iowa Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (IA HBPA) and the Iowa Quarter Horse Racing Association (IQHRA). The approved agreement establishes the framework for a 76-day mixed Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse race meet at Prairie Meadows, continuing a collaborative partnership among all three organizations. Under the terms of the agreement, the annual racing season will begin on Kentucky Derby Day and conclude on the final weekend of September. The mixed-meet format allows for both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing to be showcased throughout the season, supporting a diverse group of participants and fans. “This three-year agreement is an important step forward for Prairie Meadows and Iowa racing,” said Brian Ohorilko, president and CEO of Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino. “We're excited to continue working with the IA HBPA and the IQHRA to provide consistency, strengthen our racing program and build on the momentum of our mixed meet over the next three seasons.” “The Iowa Quarter Horse Racing Association would like to thank Prairie Meadows and the IA HBPA for working together with the IQHRA by agreeing to a valuable three-year racing contract that will continue to build racing stability in the State of Iowa, as well as offer stability to our owners, trainers and breeders throughout Iowa and beyond,” said IQHRA president Tom Lepic. “This 76-day racing meet enhances the racing experience for both Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds, and we believe it also benefits our wonderful racing fans. We look forward to the 2026, 2027 and 2028 seasons as we continue working to make Iowa an outstanding state to own, breed and race horses.” The post IRGC Approves Three-Year Contract for Prairie Meadows Mixed Meet appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

After announcing in December at the Global Symposium on Racing in Tuscon, Arizona that it would be taking steps to limit Computer Assisted Wagering (CAW play) within the coming months, NYRA announced Friday that the new rules will go into effect on Feb. 5. Calling the measures new “guardrails,” NYRA revealed at the Arizona symposium that all CAW play will eventually cease at one minute to post in all pools. CAW players can still bet after the one-minute time limit, but they will be restricted to six bets or less during that time frame. According to the NYRA press release, “CAW activity is defined by NYRA and its peer tracks according to the speed of wager execution. NYRA considers wagering to be CAW activity when that speed exceeds six bets per second.” NYRA, which has taken steps in the past to prevent large, last-second drops in the odds in the win pools, said this is another step that will benefit the retail horseplayer. “As such, NYRA will institute a comprehensive approach to the management of CAW activity for the benefit of horseplayers.” the statement read. “This policy reflects the importance of modernizing pari-mutuel wagering to address the technology-driven evolution of high-speed wagering,” said David O'Rourke, NYRA President & CEO. “Reducing odds volatility will increase pricing transparency and improve the wagering experience for horseplayers in New York and across the country.” O'Rourke signaled his intent to work on the CAW problem when he spoke in Arizona. “What I'm saying here is we draw a line now, we start measuring what's going on within that period of time, and then we start looking at other things,” he said at the time. NYRA owns a 20 percent stake in the Elite Turf Club, which includes some of the largest CAW players in the world as its customers. (The Stronach Group, which operates Santa Anita and Gulfstream, owns the other 80 percent). But that has not kept NYRA from taking steps to protect the everyday players, many of whom are believed to be disappearing because they cannot compete against the many advantages given to the CAW players. Since 2021, CAW teams have been prohibited from placing batch bets in the win pool within two minutes of the race start. That has dramatically cut down on the phenomenon of the odds of horses plummeting in the win pool after the start of the race. The current win-pool policy will remain in effect. CAW players have also been completely banned from the Late Pick Five and the Pick Six. NYRA also eliminated jackpot provisions in their Pick 6. As the carryovers build up in jackpot-style wagers, CAW teams often make huge bets into the pools and were often able to take home the bulk of a pool that built up as regular horseplayers were making losing bets that led to the large carryovers.
