By Mike Love Woodend trainers Craig and Aimee Edmonds will have be dual threats in today’s Anne Thompson Graduation Series Finals at Rangiora. In the $22,000 Trotters’ Final they line up Four Wise Women and A Fine Patrick. Four Wise Women is unbeaten in her only two race day appearances to date, one of which was a heat of the series, and A Fine Patrick won another heat in his only run this preparation. “They’ll both be very good chances,” said co-trainer Craig Edmonds. Four Wise Women, who will be driven by Blair Orange, has been dominant in her victories to date. The three-year-old Majestic Son filly, who is a half sister to Five Wise Men and the talented Harriet Of Mot, has always impressed Edmonds and the camp is expecting a big run today. “She seems pretty good. She’s come through those runs really well. She only qualified this time in, so she’s come a long way in a short time.” “If she steps away good again, she’s going to be tough to beat.” A Fine Patrick, who is a three-year-old Father Patrick gelding out of Harriet Of Mot, won impressively fresh up and will be driven by John Dunn. “He’s trained on really good. We had a few issues with his steering but we’ve sorted that out for now and he’s getting better and better.” “He seems really well in himself. “Four Wise Women will have a break after this, and A Fine Patrick will have a few more runs before he gets his break.” Prior to the finals, Edmonds line up first starter Radha in race four, the Mike Brown Memorial Pace. The three-year-old Always B Miki gelding has been unbeaten in his previous two trials and there is some confidence going into today. “He’s good. With no bad luck he shouldn’t be far away.” “He’s quite a big gangly horse. Once he strengthens right up he could be pretty good going forward. But first up drawn the second row won’t be easy.” Race seven will see the pacers final in what is shaping up to be a clash between the talented pair Chicago Bear for Cran and Chrissie Dalgety and the Brent and Tim White trained Clonakilty. Racing commences from 11:25am. View the full article

Bolt D'Vine (Bolt d'Oro–Perfectly Divine, by Vindication) was one of two runners in the field with no prior experience, but you'd never know it judging by her performance here. Cruising home as easily as she pleased, the filly carrying Michael House's colors sailed over the wire and earned the 'Rising Star' nod in the process. Off at 3-1 and vying from off the rail up the backstretch through :22.36 and :45.53 fractions, it looked briefly like her early rival might make a race of it, but when Bolt d'Vine took over passing the quarter marker, the question became how much would she win by…and the answer was 7 1/2 lengths. After clearing the last of her competition to her inside, she kicked away in dominating fashion to leave 40-1 longshot Fire Ban (Preservationist) in her wake. Bolt d'Vine is the fourth 'TDN Rising Star' for Bolt d'Oro. Pedigree Notes Bolt d'Vine is the last registered offspring for her dam, who has failed to produce any foals since the newest 'Rising Star' but has produced a three-time winning 4-year-old Divine Cross (Cross Traffic). She returned to Cross Traffic for 2024. Perfectly Divine does hail from a busy family, however, as she is the half-sister to multiple Grade I-winner Tizway (Tiznow) and SW & MGSP Ticket to Seattle (Capote). That sister produced SW Misty Mauve (Paynter). The pedigree gains Grade I-momentum underneath the third dam Willamae (Tentam), who was graded-placed herself but who made her most notable mark as a broodmare. From her eight winners, two claimed victories at the highest level as two-time Grade I-winner Will's Way (Easy Goer) and GI Ashland S. victress Willa On the Move (Assert {Ire}) are direct descendants. This female family also includes MG1SP-NZ November Rain (NZ) (Stravinsky) as well as SW No Rain Ever (Aus) (No Nay Never). 6th-Santa Anita, $55,000, Msw, 5-18, 3, 4,/5yo, f/m, 6f, 1:10.64, ft, 7 1/2 lengths.

DISARM (c, 4, Gun Runner–Easy Tap, by Tapit), a 'TDN Rising Star', was a major player on last year's Triple Crown trail, hitting the board in both the GII Louisiana Derby and the GIII Lexington S. before running fourth behind Mage (Good Magic) in the GI Kentucky Derby. Fourth again in the GII Jim Dandy S., he chased home champion 3-year-old male Arcangelo (Arrogate) to be second in the GI Travers S. in his last start. On the bench since, the homebred returned Saturday with the distance cutback facing just three rivals. Bet all the way down to 1-9, he broke straight to the lead and lulled his rivals to sleep on the front end through fractions of :25.74 and :52.01. Onthestage (Quality Road) threatened briefly as the real running began inside the final furlong but Disarm was game and kept that rival at bay to win by 1 1/2 lengths in his return. Easy Tap, already responsible for Total Tap (Candy Ride {Arg}), MSP, $221,112 and Tap Daddy (Scat Daddy), Ch.

Seize the Grey (c, 3, Arrogate–Smart Shopping, by Smart Strike) made the best of his own two-week turn around and took the field gate-to-wire in the GI Preakness S. Breaking well and out to control the pace, the grey was allowed to set largely uncontested fractions of :23.98, :47.33, and 1:11.95 as Imagination (Into Mischief) tracked him from out wide on the track. GI Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan (Goldencents) had established a good rail trip and was within striking range at the head of affairs, but Seize the Grey had too much left, proving impossible to run down late, denying the Derby hero despite drifting late. Catching Freedom (Constitution) kicked on to take third. Seize the Grey had last been seen May 4 winning the GII Pat Day Mile by 1 1/4 lengths. It was also a huge day for Seize the Grey's rider Jamie Torres, who was claiming his first American Classic win as well.

Winless since taking the GIII San Francisco Mile in 2023, Balnikhov (Ire) (g, 5, Adaay {Ire}–Leeward, by First Defence) hopped on a plane for a party in Baltimore, and will return to the barn as the newly-crowned victor of the GIII Dinner Party S. In no rush as the race unfolded in front of him after the jump, he was tucked to the inside but ran as the rearmost marker for most of the contest. Cutting the corner in the final bend as rivals fanned out in front of him, Balnikhov skipped to the lead for Frankie Dettori and could not be reeled in late. Crabs N Beer (Blofeld) made a bold bid, but settled for second while Running Bee (English Channel) claimed third. Welcome to Baltimore, @FrankieDettori!

Irish businessman Sir Anthony 'Tony' O'Reilly has died after a short illness according to published reports. The husband of the late Lady Chryss O'Reilly who died last year, he was 88. “In the coming days there will be many worthy tributes made to Tony O'Reilly's unique and extraordinary achievements in the fields of business and sport,” O'Reilly's family said in a statement. “As well as his extraordinary philanthropic vision which was best evidenced by the establishment of the Ireland Funds at a dark time in this island's history. “But, for us, he was a dearly-loved dad and a grandad. He lived one of the great lives and we were fortunate to spend time with him in recent weeks as that great life drew to a close.” Born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1936, O'Reilly became an international rugby star. He created the Kerrygold dairy company in 1962, while part of the Irish Dairy Board (Bord Bainne). Subsequently in charge of Irish Sugar, O'Reilly joined international food company Heinz in the 1969, later being named chairman of that company in 1987, which he remained until 1998. The proprietor of Castlemartin Stud from 1972 to 2014, he also took control of Independent Newspapers in 1973, which lasted until 2009. Associated with Waterford Wedgwood group by 1990, among other varied business interests, O'Reilly also set up The Ireland Funds, which distributed money from U.S. donors into Irish border reconciliation projects. He was a noted philanthropist. O'Reilly was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2001 “for long and distinguished service to Northern Ireland”. The businessman was declared bankrupt in 2015 when a €22.6-million debt judgement was leveled against him by the Allied Irish Banks, but he had emerged from bankruptcy by January of 2024. He is survived by his six children with his first wife, Susan Cameron, and their families. Taoiseach Simon Harris called O'Reilly “a giant of sport, business, and media,” in a statement. “He was a trailblazer who aimed big on the international business scene. Through his work in the UK, US and Ireland he forged a path that many other international business figures from Ireland would follow…My thoughts are especially with his children and grandchildren at this sad time.” “A legend of the game has passed,” Irish Rugby posted on X. “Our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. First capped at 18 he won 29 Irish Rugby caps and was a hero of the British & Irish Lions. Sir Anthony O'Reilly RIP.” The post Sir Anthony O’Reilly Dies At 88 After Short Illness appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

MISS ROCKETTE (f, 3, Into Mischief–Song of Spring {GSW, $234,403}, by Spring At Last) was sent to her owner's home track at Oaklawn Park as the 4-5 chalk for her 8 1/2-furlong debut Apr. 20 and she looked on her way to an easy victory only to be run down by the slow-starting Flashy Dancer (Curlin) in a 'TDN Rising Star'-worthy performance. Content to take the trail from third as chief market rival Ms Bo J (Mitole) set the pace off the inside, the $1.25-million KEESEP purchase traveled strongly in hand on the turn as the pace dropped away. Eased into the two path to challenge in earnest at the top of the lane, Miss Rockette rolled to the front and pulled away to score unextended, then galloped out with good energy. Miss Rockette is the first foal out of 2018 GIII Allaire duPont Distaff winner Song of Spring and hails from the family of MGISW Dream Rush (Wild Rush), the dam of GISW Dreaming of Julia (A.P. Indy) and granddam of champion Malathaat (Curlin); MGSW Dream Pauline (Tapit) and SW Atreides (Medaglia d'Oro). Song of Spring is also represented by the 2-year-old colt Spring Dream (Vino Rosso), a yearling colt by City of Light and was most recently bred to Into Mischief.

Alice Springs apprentice Lek Maloney with his parents Andrew, chairman of the Alice Springs Turf Club, and Rose after winning the Tennant Creek Cup (1600m) on Barocco Bar, owned by his father, for Red Centre trainer Dan Morgan. It was in early April when apprentice Lek Maloney was dislodged from his mount Barocco Bar during the Alice Springs Turf Club’s Cup Carnival at Pioneer Park. The 20-year-old escaped injury, and on Saturday he teamed up with the Dan Morgan-trained four-year-old gelding to win the $30,000 Tennant Creek Cup (1600m). For Maloney, it was the biggest of his 25 career wins since debuting in October 2022. Parents, Andrew and Rose were trackside as Lek guided Barocco Bar, a $12 hope with the top online bookmakers to win by half a length over Command King with Great Buy close in third. “We’re so happy for Lek, it’s just so exciting – the highs and lows of racing following his mishap on Barocco Bar in Alice,” Andrew said. In 15 starts for Morgan, the son of Epaulette boasts four wins and four minor placings, and it was following a discussion with owner Andrew Maloney that the Tennant Creek trip eventuated. “He ran a really nice race a couple of starts back and Andrew’s first words to me were the Tennant Creek Cup,” Morgan, who didn’t make the trip to Hagan Park, said. “In my opinion, today was his best win – he was terrific, he was tenacious and gave his all. “The plan was to get him close to the speed so he could utilise his strengths on the testing sand surface. “He’s a tough horse when he’s on song, he can also show good early pace and really stick to his task. “Lek rode him an absolute treat and I couldn’t be more proud of them both, that’s my first Country Cup. “Special mention to my strapper Jess Denton, who took Barocco Bar to Tennant Creek so I could attend to the team here at home.” Fellow Alice Springs apprentice Dakota Gillett ended the day with a winning treble aboard Protostar ($2.30 fav) and Brat ($1.90 fav) for her father and trainer Terry, as well as She’s Tuff Enuff ($4.40) for trainer Paul Gardner. Brat, a five-year-old gelding by Reward For Effort, made it seven wins from 22 starts for the Gillett’s by taking out the Denis Staunton Memorial Cup (1200m) – the other feature on the program – by 6.4 lengths. Protostar decimated his rivals over 1200m (Class 2) by 11.7 lengths. Gardner finished with a double when She’s Tuff Enuff narrowly won the 1000m maiden before $26 outsider Hey Bull (Paul Denton) won his first race for the stable when he won over 1450m (0-64) by 8.6 lengths. Gardner (21) has extended his lead in the Alice Springs and Provincial trainers’ premiership from Kerry Petrick (18.5) and Gillett (18). Denton (20) is ahead of Jessie Philpot (15) and Gillett (15) in the jockeys’ premiership. Top End trainer Phil Cole and Red Centre jockey Ianish Luximon combined as Plague Stone ($5) saluted by 1.6 lengths over 1100m (BM54). Horse racing news View the full article

A Grade I-winning juvenile in her younger years, Leave No Trace (f, 4, Outwork–Tanquerray, by Good Journey) collared the frontrunner and held off all comers in the lane to pick up her second consecutive victory in her 2024 season, this time in the GIII Vagrancy S. Stalking Beguine (Gun Runner) as :22.24 and :44.72 splits sailed by, Jose Lezcano called on his charge for more in the lane and she responded, collaring Beguine entering the final furlong.

Corporate Power (c, 3, Curlin–Road to Victory, by Quality Road) survived a stewards' inquiry as well as a jockey's objection to win the Sir Barton S. The eventual winner spent the lion's portion of the race to the outside of his rivals, and had briefly joined the scramble for the front entering the far bend. Losing ground with that wide trip, but still never far from Gould's Gold (Goldencents) as the race unfolded in front of him, Corporate Power had work to do entering the stretch as rivals stacked in front of him. Grinding relentlessly, he found another kick late in the lane as Imperial Gun (Gun Runner) joined the scramble for the wire, finishing between the top two after making contact briefly with the winner. The subsequent inquiry and disallowed jockey's objection made no change to the finish. #5 CORPORATE POWER ($5.20) gets up for the victory in the Sir Barton Stakes at Pimlico with @jjcjockey in the irons for trainer Shug McGaughey.

Impressive on debut at Kempton earlier this month, Michelle Morris and Jan and Peter Hopper's homebred Kind Of Blue (GB) (Blue Point {Ire}–Blues Sister {GB}, by Compton Place {GB}) defied a penalty to earn TDN Rising Star status at Doncaster on Saturday evening. Keen early under Danny Muscutt's restraint behind the leader Ananda (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the card's six-furlong novice won in 2018 by future sprinting bigwig Equilateral (GB) (Equiano {Fr}), the 11-4 second favourite was the only one able to live with that 2-1 market leader. Arriving at his side a furlong out, the James Fanshawe-trained G1 Commonwealth Cup entry swamped him from there for an emphatic 2 1/2-length success. Kind Of Blue's unraced dam, whose 2-year-old colt by Starspangledbanner (Aus) was a 170,000gns purchase by Tony Head at the recent Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up, is as her name suggests a full-sibling of the stable's G2 British Champions Sprint S. hero Deacon Blues (GB). She is also a half to another who captured that prize for the stable, this time after it had been promoted to group 1 status, in the former Pegasus Stables' stalwart The Tin Man (GB) (Equiano {Fr}). He also annexed the G1 Diamond Jubilee S. and G1 Haydock Sprint Cup and like all the family progressed markedly with age and experience.

D J Stable and Robert Cotran's Hades (Awesome Slew) is recovering from a small setback, but is being programmed for a pair of starts at Monmouth Park over the coming months, including the GI NYRA Bets Haskell S. July 20. Upset winner of the GIII Holy Bull S., defeating Domestic Product (Practical Joke) and champion Fierceness (City of Light), Hades was a well-beaten fifth in the GI Curlin Florida Derby and was last seen finishing seventh in the GIII Stonestreet Lexington S. at Keeneland Apr. 13. “We found he had a little minor problem that we had to correct and give him a little time. I'd like to be in the Preakness but we're doing the right thing,” said trainer Joe Orseno, who won the second leg of the Triple Crown back in 2000 with Red Bullet (Unbridled). If all goes according to plan, Hades would contest the Listed Pegasus S. June 15 and a positive outcome there could lead to a star in the Haskell five weeks later, with the GI Travers S. a longer-term possibility. “I'm getting him ready for the prep to the Haskell and if he handles that there's a chance he'll show up at Saratoga,” Orseno said.
