Modernist (Uncle Mo) will shuttle to Chile and stand at Haras Dadinco for the Southern Hemisphere 2024 season, it was announced via presser Friday. The winner of the GII Risen Star Stakes and the GIII Excelsior Stakes with on-the-board finishes in three other graded contests, he'd retired to Darby Dan in 2022 and bred 280 mares in his first three years at stud. Modernist hails from the female line of Broodmare of the Year Sweet Life (Kris S.), who also produced his dam's half-sisters GI Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic (now Distaff) victress MGISW Life is Sweet (Storm Cat) and her full-sister, champion 2-year-old filly MGISW Sweet Catomine. This is the extended family of GIII Bay Shore Stakes placed Victory Way (City of Light) as well as recent Azalea Stakes-placed Candy Gray (Twirling Candy). Modernist's first foals will be yearlings of 2024, and he will be represented by three of them in the New York-Bred Sale in Saratoga next week Aug. 11-12.

Helicity (The Factor) will be offered via a flash sale by Inglis Digital USA, the auction house announced Friday. A runner-up in a maiden special weight at Saratoga on the grass July 20 to Without Caution (Without Parole {GB}) and third on unveiling June 7 at Gulfstream Park, the colt is currently being pointed toward the Kentucky Downs meeting for his next start by trainer and co-owner Jack Sisterson. Starts in the Sept. 1 $1-million Kentucky Downs Juvenile Sprint or the $1-million Kentucky Downs Juvenile Mile Sept. 8 have both been offered as potential targets as well as a start in one of the maiden special contests at the track, which boasts the largest maiden purses in the country at $170,000. Helicity is out of a half-sister to SW & GSP Muskoka Gold (Lea) as well as SP Lunch With Bernie (Bernardini). This is the female line of GISW Sis City (Slew City Slew), the GI Ashland Stakes victress who also claimed wins in the GII Demoiselle Stakes as well as the GII Davona Dale Stakes. She herself is a half-sister to Canadian Graded-winner Lady Grace (Kantharos), who earned that black type via the GII Royal North Stakes. “He's a horse that's impressed us from the day we bought him at the sale,” Sisterson said of Helicity. “Great mind, athletic, with lots of scope for the future. We thought he'd win his last race at Saratoga, but only to be beaten by a highly regarded [Without Caution] trained by Cherie DeVaux. His maiden race was two seconds faster than the second 1 1/16-mile turf maiden ran the following week.” Currently stabled at Saratoga in Barn 84, Helicity will breeze Saturday, Aug. 3 at 7:30am, weather permitting, for potential buyers to watch. The breeze schedule will be updated on the Inglis Digital USA X account or by reaching out to Liza Hendriks for more information at liza@inglisdigitalusa.com. Bidding is currently open and will close at noon Eastern Tuesday, Aug. 6. Interested buyers may register to bid at the Inglis Digital USA website.

Coming off a strong runner-up performance at Saratoga in his second lifetime start, Helicity (The Factor) will sell in Inglis Digital USA's second online auction since it was rebranded from the Wanamaker platform. The one-horse flash sale closes at noon ET on Tuesday, Aug. 6. Trained and campaigned by Jack Sisterson in partnership with David Grund and Amanda Oster, Helicity was purchased for $120,000 at the OBS March Sale. Sisterson said he was drawn to the son of The Factor because of the good fortune he has had with another son of the sire, GSW and GISP Bandua. “He reminded me a lot of the way Bandua looked and moved,” Sisterson explained. “From day one I've always liked him and when we got him back in the barn at Palm Meadows, he was very straightforward. Great mind on him, very athletic. He's got a lot of scope to him. We always had Saratoga in mind for him when we picked him.” Helicity finished a closing third in his debut at Gulfstream Park on June 7 going five furlongs on the turf. From there, he stretched out to a mile and a sixteenth at Saratoga on July 20. After racing in the three path around the far turn, the juvenile took the lead at the quarter pole and gave way to Cherie DeVaux trainee Without Caution (Without Parole {GB}) in the final strides. “He was only 50% or 60% fit at Gulfstream,” said Sisterson. “We wanted to give him one run at Gulfstream to give him experience sprinting and get some added fitness in him. In Saratoga we just bumped into a good one of Cherie's, but we were over the moon with the way he ran. We expected him to run a winning race and he just got ran down late. It was his first time around two turns and I think he'll improve again in his third start.” Sisterson reported that Helicity came out of his last race in good order. The trainer is pointing the colt to the Kentucky Downs meet for his next start, where maiden special weight purses run to $170,000. Helicity could also target the $1 million Kentucky Downs Juvenile Sprint on Sept. 1 or the $1 million Kentucky Downs Juvenile Mile on Sept. 8. After Helicity's runner-up performance in Saratoga, Sisterson received several inquiries about buying the colt. The partnership decided to present the horse to the market with the thought that since he still has his maiden conditions, Helicity offers a variety of opportunities for potential buyers. “Obviously I don't want to loose a horse, but it's a business and the majority owners are willing to keep the horse, but they will sell at the right price,” said Sisterson. “He has a bright future, so we'll see how the market values him. He looks like he'll improve again. He's a now horse, but he looks like he'll get better at three as well with some size and scope to him.” Helicity is currently stabled at Saratoga Race Course in Barn 84 and he will breeze on the Oklahoma track on Saturday, Aug. 3 at 7:30 a.m. weather permitting for potential buyers to watch. Inglis Digital USA CEO Liza Hendriks said that Helicity's presentation to the market is a perfect example of how digital sales offer sellers the opportunity to use timely updates to their advantage. “It's great for people to be able to capitalize on that and be able to sell throughout the year,” she said. “Jack Sisterson owns part of the horse himself, so it's great for him to help with cashflow and add liquidity. Really it helps in each different part of the market.” Last month, Inglis Digital conducted its first sale since the platform re-brand. The auction closed on July 17 and was led by Lucky Girl (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Ire}), a 5-year-old multiple stakes-winner that sold for $235,000 to Beagle Bloodstock on behalf of Australia's Kia Ora Stud. The sale saw 22 horses sell from 50 offered for a gross of $450,000, with an average sale price over $21,000. Hendriks said that the Inglis busy team has been planning for the future of their digital platform. “Mark Webster, the managing director for Inglis globally, was just in Saratoga and Lexington and we had a bunch of meetings with clients and we're getting great feedback,” said Hendriks. “People are starting to catch on more and more to the digital way of doing things. People have been really engaged in giving feedback so we've been able to tailor our platform to what our clients are wanting and we will be able to make those changes before our next sale in September.” Bidding is currently open for Helicity on the Inglis Digital USA website.

Easy Time, a son of Not This Time, looks to repeat in Guyana's biggest Thoroughbred race.View the full article

Full-time hairdresser and small-time breeder Ashley Hillyard admits to having been left dumbfounded by the victory of Black Forza in Thursday's Richmond Stakes at Goodwood. Why so? Well, the Kentucky-based 38-year-old snapped up Harlee Honey (Harlan's Holiday), the dam of Michael O'Callaghan's bright young star, for just $11,000 at Fasig-Tipton Digital from Legacy Bloodstock last August. It's a purchase that even the most shrewd of breeders would be proud of. And in less than a year, Hillyard is now fielding offers that she admits would be life-changing to her and her young family. “My phone has been very busy since Black Forza crossed the wire,” she said on Friday. “I have been watching out for Black Forza ever since I bought the mare. I saw his first race and I was really impressed. When he won second time up, his rider [Seamie Heffernan] said that he felt Black Forza was a horse with a bit of a future. I got a little nervous when I heard that. What he said mattered the most to me.” Hillyard added, “We had started to get calls about the mare after Black Forza won his maiden. But I said, 'you know what, I think I want to wait.' I bought her because I wanted to breed a Classic runner and he looks like he could be that. She's a step up for me. That's one of the reasons why we were so nervous watching the race at Goodwood. When he appeared, we just started jumping around the living room. We were speechless. We didn't know what to do.” A quick scan through Black Forza's sales history will show you that he has been offered under the hammer three times in his life. But that isn't necessarily the full story. Before Black Forza sold as a breezer, a yearling and even a foal, he had gained some experience of the sales when Harlee Honey gave birth to him at Fasig-Tipton back in February 2022.

BLACK FORZA powers home to win the G2 Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. pic.twitter.com/RAONFZKJIA — TDN (@theTDN) August 1, 2024 That didn't stop the Elm Tree Farm-consigned mare, who herself has seen her fair share of the sales ground action, going on to fetch $50,000 at the Kentucky Winter Sale to Dash Goff. “I think we had three or four mares in that sale,” Elm Tree's Jody Huckaby recalled. “My wife Michelle was very upset with me because she didn't want to put her in there. Harlee Honey sold that afternoon to Dash Goff [for $50,000], who I have known since I was a kid, and given the foal was born on the same day, he is down as being the breeder.” You could say that Black Forza has already overcome the odds. And while he has helped Hillyard fulfil her dream in finding a genuine black-type producing mare, she admits that Harlee Honey is likely to be better served by moving to a bigger farm. She explained, “People want to know what we're going to do with her and whether we would sell her or not. I grew up in horse racing but I work as a hairdresser. I have two other mares that I raced so they are sentimental to me. I wanted something that I could complement what I have and grow the business and Harlee looks as though she can do that. When I bought her for $11,000, that was my top budget, so that tells you about how small our farm is. That was all I could do. She was a stretch for us and it was the first time where we purchased a mare with the view of trying to grow our business.” She added, “We are interested in selling because it's life-changing and would mean a great deal to my family. It would also help us to grow our breeding business and help to support our stud fees for our girls [mares]. Also, selling her would help her. When you sell a mare for a large amount of money, it guarantees that she will be in a good place and somebody is going to spend money on her and will breed to a stallion that will do her justice. So, for that reason, we would consider selling her. That is my big goal; setting my girls up so that they can go on and do bigger and better things.” There remains only one question left to answer in this unorthodox, if not slightly bonkers success story; has Michelle forgiven Jody for selling Harlee Honey in the first place? “Well, yes and no,” comes the response from the stud owner. “She's quite upset that we got rid of the mare but we're happy that a friend of ours, Ashley, has ended up with her. She called us and was all excited after the race. I know Ashley is going to make a lot of money so we're glad to have played a role.” The post ‘It’s Life-Changing’ – The Hairdresser-Turned-Breeder In Dreamland With Black Forza appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

As a half-brother to the G1 Prix Morny and G1 Middle Park Stakes-winning sire Earthlight (Ire), the Charlie Appleby-trained Shadow Of Light (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}–Winters Moon {Ire}, by New Approach {Ire}) has a lot of baggage to carry but the way he went two-for-two at Newmarket on Friday bodes well for his future. Successfully introduced at Yarmouth last month, the 8-11 favourite was able to travel easily behind the pace throughout the early stages of this six-furlong novice before taking command two out.

In this continuing series, we take a look ahead at US-bred and/or conceived runners entered for the upcoming weekend at the tracks on the Japan Racing Association circuit, with a focus on pedigree and/or performance in the sales ring. Here are the horses of interest for Sunday running at Niigata Racecourse: Sunday, August 4, 2024 2nd-NII, ¥13,720,000 ($92k), Newcomers, 2yo, f, 1600mT T O NILSSON (JPN) (f, 2, McKinzie–American Legend, by American Pharoah) was purchased by Tomoya Ozasa for the equivalent of $84,390 at last year's JRHA Select Sale and is out of a half-sister to four winners, including the Grade III-placed Co Cola (Candy Ride {Arg}), the dam of 2021 GI Acorn Stakes winner Search Results (Flatter). American Legend, also kin to the Peruvial Group 1-placed Kingdom Road (Arg) (Bellamy Road), was purchased for $120,000 with this filly in utero at the 2021 Keeneland November Sale. This is the female family of successful young Japanese sire Mind Your Biscuits (Posse). B-Yuki Dendo 7th-NII, Leopard S.-G3, ¥71,360,000 ($486k), 3yo, 1800m SONIC STAR (c, 3, Into Mischief–Carolina Bertie, by Speightstown) brings a record of three wins from four starts into this first go at group level, having suffered his lone career defeat when down the field in the first leg of the Japan Road to the Kentucky Derby–the Cattleya Stakes (allowance)–last November. The $300,000 Keeneland September yearling has since won twice going the one-turn mile at Tokyo, including a narrow defeat of fellow American-bred Sorrel Bullet (Malibu Moon) May 4 (see below, SC 7). Sonic Star, whose unraced dam is a half-sister to MGISW and current Japanese sire Beach Patrol (Lemon Drop Kid), has the services of leading rider Yuga Kawada.

A federal judge on Aug. 1 refused to grant an “emergency” request for a temporary restraining order that eight licensed racetrackers in Oklahoma requested on July 29 to keep the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) from being enforced in that state before the Remington Park meet begins there Aug. 16. Chief Judge Timothy DeGiusti of United States District Court of Oklahoma (Western District) wrote in an order issued Thursday that, “Upon review, the Court finds the Application is facially insufficient to satisfy the requirements of Rule 65(b)(1) for issuance of a temporary restraining order without notice. “Specifically, Plaintiffs have not provided 'specific facts in an affidavit or a verified complaint [to] clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to [Plaintiffs] before the adverse party can be heard in opposition,” the order stated. Instead, a hearing on the plaintiffs' application has been scheduled for Aug. 7. The judge could still issue an injunction against the HISA rules after hearing from all parties at next Wednesday's hearing. The primary difference between a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction is that a temporary restraining order may be issued without notice to the opposing party and that a temporary restraining order is of limited duration. The plaintiffs are individual owners, trainers and other Thoroughbred industry licensees who intend to compete at the upcoming Remington meet. They are: Joe Offolter, Danny Caldwell, Elizabeth Butler, Randy Blair, Bryan Hawk, Scott Young, Boyd Caster and Michael Major. As in seven previous federal lawsuits initiated around the country since 2021 that have similarly targeted the HISA Authority and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) as defendants, the Oklahoma plaintiffs want declaratory judgments, injunctions, and restraining orders imposed that would invalidate HISA rules and prohibit the HISA Authority, the FTC, and the Horseracing Integrity and Welfare Unit (HIWU) from enforcing the regulations that govern the sport. Earlier this week, a different judge in that same Oklahoma federal court cancelled a Wednesday hearing in the case after learning that seven of the plaintiffs in this lawsuit last year filed a substantially similar complaint but voluntarily withdrew it three months later. The July 24, 2024, case was then reassigned to chief judge DeGiusti, the same federal judge who had handled that 2023 case. Last year, DeGiusti had similarly ruled that the plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order was “facially insufficient.” The plaintiffs subsequently withdrew their motion and voluntarily dismissed their complaint.

Coming in with the benefit of a race under her belt, Two Sharp (Twirling Candy) was just too good for the field of maiden fillies at Saratoga Friday to became a new 'TDN Rising Star'. Favored in her six-furlong debut at Churchill June 29 after bringing a cool $925,000 as a yearling at Keeneland September in 2022, the Rigney Racing runner spotted the field a step at the field and, while ultimately no match for the race winner, did well to get up into second. With the addition of experience and an extra half-furlong, Two Sharp was bet down to 1-2 by the Friday Saratoga crowd and certainly showed she was worth every cent, running to the front inside of Quiet Confidence (Nyquist) early before putting even her closest rival on the back foot into the far turn and making the stretch run looking like a procession, coming home under wraps to win by 11 1/4 lengths. Pricey first-time starter Lady Pink (Into Mischief), a $720,000 FTSAUG yearling buy for Peter Brant, brought home the rest of the pack in second. Two Sharp is the fifth 'TDN Rising Star' for Twirling Candy, who also was one himself back in 2010. She is the first and only foal to date out of the winning Distorted Humor mare Double Sharp, herself a daughter of MGSW/MGISP Bsharpsonata (Pulpit). Woods Edge Farm purchased Double Sharp for $255,000 at the Keeneland November Sale in 2017. #4 Two Sharp was too sharp in the opener at Saratoga!

A colt by super sire Into Mischief (hip 30) returns to the sales ring for the second time in six months when he sells through the Darby Dan Farm consignment during the first session of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale Monday. The yearling holds the distinction of having the highest previous sales price in the Saratoga auction's 240-head catalogue after selling for $650,000 as part of the Lothenbach dispersal the Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale in February. A colt by Constitution (hip 59) has the next highest previous price, having sold for $525,000 at last year's Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. “He was just a lovely short yearling,” said Darby Dan's Renee Logan, who signed the ticket on the Into Mischief colt in February on behalf of an undisclosed client. “He had a beautiful balance and a lovely walk. He was very, very correct with nice feet and I just liked the way his neck tied into his shoulder and with a really good hind leg. All of the the things you want in a young horse. We can buy them that way and they don't always end up that way, but that's the way you want to start.” The dispersal, organized just months after the passing of longtime owner/breeder Bob Lothenbach, provided a unique opportunity for buyers. The colt, who is out of Distorted Music (Distorted Humor), sold some 10 hips after his half-sister, graded winner She Can't Sing (Bernardini) brought $1.1 million from Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa. He had been rerouted to auction–instead of his breeder's racing stable–after Lothenbach passed away last November. She Can't Sing | Fasig-Tipton “I like the fact that he wasn't overly prepped,” Logan said. “He was just in really good weight, but not overweight. His hair wasn't overdone. You could just tell that he was basically always kept well and kind of basically pulled out of the field and cleaned up a little bit. He was just always in good condition from the time he was born until February.” In addition to the colt's physical attributes, the Darby Dan team was also attracted to the Into Mischief/Distorted Humor cross which is responsible for Grade I winners Life is Good and Practical Joke. Logan knew she would have to pay for the colt when he walked into the ring in Lexington. “I knew the players who were interested in him and I knew I was up against [Randy] Hartley and [Dean] DeRenzo and other people who also liked that horse that had plenty of money to spend on him,” she said. “I had told my client that we were going to have to be minimum of $500,000 or $600,000.” Since the colt was purchased over the winter, the family has continued to prove popular in the sales ring. His half-brother by Tapit sold for $1.2 million after galloping at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's March 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale. “I don't know that it has a whole lot of impact, but it certainly doesn't hurt,” Logan said of the seven-figure juvenile. “He had two siblings bring over $1 million. And that colt, from what I understand, is a very, very good colt. They have a lot of high hopes for him.” Logan said the plan was always to bring the colt to Saratoga for Fasig-Tipton's boutique summertime auction and everything has gone to plan from February to shipping to upstate New York Thursday. “He's a beautiful colt,” Logan said. “He hasn't disappointed us in any way. I am confident that he is going to be extremely well received. His vetting is beautiful–you can't get it any better. And he is just a bigger version of what he was in February. He's just a more mature version of that.” Of the risks of a high-priced pinhook prospect, Logan said, “That's a lot of money. But our client just loves this and loves the game. You've got to be tied on to do this, win, lose or draw.” Tapit–Distorted Music 2-year-old at OBS | Photos by Z Darby Dan brings a four-horse consignment to the Saratoga sale. In addition to hip 30, the farm will also offer a filly by Munnings (hip 54) out of stakes winner Ghoul's Night Out (Ghostzapper). Bred by Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa, the yearling was purchased by Red Devil Bloodstock for $120,000 at last year's Keeneland November sale. “She's absolutely lovely,” Logan said of the filly. “She's beautifully balanced with a lot of leg, where some Munnings don't. She's not heavy fronted. She's just really, really pretty with good vetting.” During Tuesday's second night of the auction, Darby Dan will offer a homebred colt by Omaha Beach (hip 192). The bay is out of Tip at Tapit (Tapit), a full-sister to Grade I winner Time and Motion who traces back to many of the historic farm's stars, including Memories of Silver, Winter Memories, Sunshine Forever and Brian's Time. The colt's half-sister by Gun Runner sold for $1.5 million at the 2022 Keeneland September sale. “Our Omaha Beach colt, out of Tip At Tapit, it's a family that goes back to all the great Darby Dan horses,” Logan said. Rounding out the Darby Dan consignment is a colt by Candy Ride (Arg) (hip 197) who was bred in Virginia by Wayne and Susie Chatfield-Taylor's Morgan's Ford Farm. He is a half-brother to graded winner Chess Chief (Into Mischief). Morgan's Ford purchased his dam, Un Blessed (Mineshaft), for $110,000 at the 2014 Keeneland November sale, but she's another one with deep ties to Darby Dan Farm. Her dam is Grade I winner Plenty of Grace (Roberto) and the family includes champion Soaring Softly. “He's a really good Candy Ride,” Logan said. “He is big and very substantial with a lot of bone. And he has a beautiful walk on him.” Logan said she expected to see plenty of competitive bidding at the Saratoga auction, which consistently represents the top of the yearling market. “I think the demand is going to be very strong,” she said. “Very, very strong. Of course, you always have to get through your vetting. Fortunately we have four horses who vet very well. But that's our opinion and what we think is kind of irrelevant. It's what someone else thinks that's going to matter.” The Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale will be held Monday and Tuesday at the Humphrey S. Finney Pavilion. Bidding begins each evening at 6:30 p.m. The post Quick Turnaround for Into Mischief Colt at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Goodwood's Qatar Festival winds down on Saturday, with the feature G2 Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes looking an open affair for the staying fillies and mares. George Strawbridge's Free Wind (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was only fourth behind the re-opposing first and second Sumo Sam (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) and River Of Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in this 12 months ago and Thady Gosden is hoping she can regain the winning thread that she lost after last year's G2 Middleton Stakes. “Last year in the Lilly Langtry, it was unfortunate there were thunderstorms during the day and unpredictable levels of rain and understandably that didn't suit any of them,” he said. “It's a premier staying-fillies race of the summer and of course it's a very competitive field.” Francis-Henri Graffard is looking for more high-profile British success with Wathnan Racing's 2023 G2 Prix de Pomone winner and G1 Prix Vermeille runner-up Melo Melo (GB) (Gleneagles {Ire}), while the pick of the 3-year-olds could be Ballydoyle's G3 Stanerra Stakes winner Grateful (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), their prized daughter of Tepin (Bernstein).

The special standalone sale for Australian champion and dual Group 1 winner Prowess (NZ) (Proisir {Aus}) on Gavelhouse Plus began on Friday. It runs through 7 p.m. (NZT) on Aug. 8. A winner of the G1 New Zealand Stakes and the G1 Vinery Stud Stakes, the mare was a NZ$230,000 NZB Book 1 graduate. Bred by Hallmark Stud, she earned $965,964 for a family syndicate headed by Dean and Janie Skipper. “I've been lucky to have a number of high-class horses through my stable, and she was right up in the very top category,” trainer Roger James, who conditioned Prowess with Robert Wellwood, said this week. “Her career was just highlight after highlight. She scored a scintillating win against an elite field in the Karaka Million 3yo Classic, then became the first 3-year-old filly to win the New Zealand Stakes at weight-for-age since Tidal Light (NZ) (Diagramatic) in the late '80s. And then, of course, she carried on across to Sydney and dominated the Vinery. She was something quite special. “On top of what she showed on the racetrack, she was just a fabulous horse to do anything with and is an exquisite physical specimen.” The post Prowess Auction Begins On Gavelhouse Plus appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
