Wandering Eyes

by Jonny Turner Maui delivered a big thrill for the McCormick family when running to a deserved win in the feature trot at yesterday’s Roxburgh Cup meeting. The brilliantly consistent squaregaiter did enough to hold out the late challenge of runner-up Vertigo to seal a father and son quinella for trainers and drivers David and Lawrence McCormick. While David took top honours in the family’s great result, he resisted the chance to make full use of the bragging rights he had over his son following his victory. Instead, the Canterbury horseman was thrilled his family produced a one-two finish in the fast class event for trotters at Roxburgh. For Maui it was a case of him having his turn to shine at Roxburgh following a run a strong efforts in strong fields recently. “He’s been racing good for the last six weeks or so, and he just keeps getting better and better,” David McCormick said. Maui and Vertigo will both head to Saturday’s Cromwell meeting, the last of the three-day Central Otago Summer circuit. With Maui having pulled up well from his Roxburgh victory and Vertigo being a grass track specialist, there looks no reason why the pair can’t deliver the McCormicks more success. “He will be a good chance at Cromwell, you’d think,” McCormick said. “He loves the grass and Lawrence’s horse loves the grass, too.” “We might be able to do it again.” Their one-two finish saw the McCormicks fill a race day quinella for the first time in their careers. Kikorangi Blue turned yesterday’s Roxburgh Cup into a one-act affair with a powerful front-running performance to win. The mare made one of her customary smart beginnings which set up her front-running victory for trainer Bob Butt and driver Brent Barclay. Butt stationed the mare in the south with Barclay and his partner Lauren Pearson, ahead of the pacer’s Roxburgh Cup tilt. Judging by the horse’s work and her victory, Kikorangi Blue has thrived at her temporary base at Winton. “We didn’t have a lot of luck at Invercargill, but her work has been terrific this week so we were expecting a bold showing,” Barclay said. Kikorangi Blue’s victory has earned her a shot at the upcoming Group One and Group Two mares feature races at Addington. View the full article

Perfect Drift, the popular gelding who won or placed in 32 of 50 starts from 2001-08 and earned more than $4.7 million, was euthanized Jan. 4 due to complications from an old paddock injury, according to Dr. Bryan Reed of Stonecrest Farm. He was 25.View the full article

The Dunstan Stayers’ Championship Final (2400m) has become renowned as a strong form reference for feature staying races every season, and trainer Chris Wood is hoping that trend continues when Canheroc contests the Listed Marton Jockey Club Marton Cup (2200m) at Hastings on Saturday. The Dunstan has unearthed countless quality big-race performers over its 30-year history, including Group One winners Pentane and Zabeat. The race has been won in the last two seasons by Dionysus and Aquacade, who have both gone on to bigger and better things. This season’s edition of the Dunstan was run at Pukekohe on Boxing Day, where Trust In You prevailed in a tight three-way finish. He beat Liquid Fire by a neck, with a short head back to Canheroc in third. That form has already been given a significant boost, with Trust In You backing up to win the Gr.3 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2400m) at Pukekohe on New Year’s Day. Canheroc’s Dunstan placing headlines a strong run of form this season for the six-year-old El Roca gelding, who has picked up a win, four placings and more than $83,000 in stakes from nine appearances so far. His only failure from seven starts over distances longer than 1600m was in last month’s Gr.3 Waikato Cup (2400m), where he lost his footing leaving the gates and missed the start by five lengths. “He’s been in good form and his performance in the Dunstan was super,” Wood said. “He’s probably not quite the same horse right-handed – I think he’s a lot better the other way around. He got on the wrong leg a couple of times during the race at Pukekohe, including in the straight. But then he got balanced up and came back at them again late in the race, so I thought it was a really good run. The form stacks up pretty well after what the winner did on New Year’s Day. “He’s come through Boxing Day really well. He’s as bright as a button and hasn’t needed much work leading into the trip to Hastings on Saturday.” Canheroc will be ridden by Kelly Myers and was rated a $5.50 favourite in the TAB’s Marton Cup market on Friday. A bold performance at Hastings on Saturday could encourage Canheroc’s connections to make a late nomination for the Gr.3 Wellington Cup (3200m) at Trentham on January 20. “The Wellington Cup would be a great target to work towards,” Wood said. “He’s not currently in the race, but if he happened to run well this weekend, the owners might not take much convincing to put in a late nomination. I think the two miles would be right up his alley.” View the full article

Red Centre trainers Terry and wife Leanne Gillett will welcome back daughter Dakota, who is currently riding in South Australia, on Saturday when the Alice Springs Turf Club kicks off its 2024 campaign at Pioneer Park. It could be a good day for the Gillett family when racing resumes in Alice Springs on Saturday. Husband and wife Terry and Leanne Gillett, both licenced trainers in their own right, have decent prospects in four of the five races for Pioneer Park’s first meeting of 2024. Daughter and apprentice Dakota, who kicked off her career in July 2022, returns home from Adelaide, and each of her three rides are capable of saluting. Dakota, 18, is currently based in South Australia riding for leading Adelaide trainers Richard and Chantelle Jolly and is fresh after posting two thirds for the Jolly’s aboard Corden and Ok Gerry at Murray Bridge on New Year’s Day. Determined to work on her craft, the teenager – currently sitting equal second in the Alice Springs and Provincial jockey’s premiership with six wins – also spent time in Sydney with Warwick Farm-based trainer Bjorn Baker during the spring. The talented Supreme Attraction, trained by Terry, along with Li’lmissprancelot and Ornamental Lady, trained by Leanne, will be ridden by Dakota this weekend. Supreme Attraction, an absolute star last year, returns after five months and was allotted 64.5kg for Saturday’s feature over 1000m (BM76). With Dakota’s 2kg claim, the eight-year-old gelding – with a rating of 93 – will spot his four opponents 4.5kg first up since finishing sixth behind Early Crow in the $135,000 Palmerston Sprint (1200m) at Fannie Bay during the Darwin Cup Carnival in August. Prior to his Top End sojourn, the son of Supreme Class claimed the $100,000 Pioneer Sprint (1200m) – starting at $26 – in April during the Alice Springs Cup Carnival before winning four straight from 1000-1400m. The Palmerston may have been different had Supreme Attraction – the winner of nine races from 16 Alice starts – had a lead up race, but Saturday’s assignment should not be as daunting despite carrying plenty of weight. Assessing Supreme Attraction’s hopes, Terry Gillett said: “Coming back from a good campaign last season – will definitely need the run, but not out of this.” The Kerry Petrick-trained Throw At Da Stumps, who upset Paul Gardner’s impressive Red Wraith by a nostril over 1000m (BM76) at Pioneer Park on November 26 must be respected. Throw At Da Stumps was a last-start second in open company over 1200m behind Great Buy, trained by Terry, at the Alice Springs meeting on December 17, and come Saturday, will most likely be second favourite behind Supreme Attraction. Li’lmissprancealot, winless after nine starts, gets her opportunity to break the ice when she will probably start favourite in a 1000m maiden. Ornamental Lady, who brought good form north from SA before coming fifth over 1100m (0-70) three weeks ago, has the chance to show her true colours over 1200m (0-64). The daughter of Sir Prancelot, Li’lmissprancelot hasn’t been far away with two thirds from five starts in the Red Centre following her arrival from SA, and with Dakota’s 2kg claim (55kg), as well as a decent gate, the four-year-old mare definitely has an edge in class over her nine opponents. Ornamental Lady, the daughter of Epaulette, was far from disgraced during last year’s Darwin Cup Carnival and managed a second in October and a fourth in November at Morphettville before parting ways with Murray Bridge trainer Nicole Irwin. On Saturday, the six-year-old mare will take on Terry’s handy Valley Prince, who returns from a four-month spell, and Leanne’s Esashi, renowned for her brilliant starts, before hitting the wall in the home straight in the five-horse field where Greg Connor’s Radio Room is a worthy each-way hope. “Li’lmissprancealot is still looking to break her maiden and is jumping from a nice barrier – winkers taken off this start hoping for a clean jump,” Terry said. “Wasn’t the worst run last start for Ornamental Lady – a couple of gear changes for Saturday and she will appreciate the 2kg claim. “Valley Prince is coming back from a well-deserved break – working well and will improve off what he does on Saturday fitness wise. “As for Esashi – not her race, but will put the speed into it.” Family Ties, who brained the opposition by 5.5 lengths over 1100m (BM54) in late November before a last start third over 1100m (0-58) on December 17 when 0.2 lengths separated the first three across the line, is certainly a genuine chance for the Gilletts when he lines up over 1100m (BM54). With apprentice Ianish Luximon, who can claim 2kg, in the saddle, Family Ties, the son of Zebedee, boasts a 2kg weight advantage over Connor’s Trystoff (59.5kg), clearly the biggest challenger to Terry’s four-year-old gelding. “Family Ties is racing in fine form at the moment and is jumping from a nice gate,” Terry said. After a week where the mercury climbed beyond 40C, it is expected to be 37C with the possibility of showers on Saturday. More horse racing news View the full article

David Eustace will have his first runner in Hong Kong next season. David Eustace made his first appearance in Hong Kong on Thursday night as a fully-fledged trainer in the city. Meeting with local media before the first of eight races at Happy Valley, Eustace laid down the roadmap for the coming months as he prepares to make the full-time move from Australia to Hong Kong. “It’s been fantastic. The Hong Kong Jockey Club have been extremely helpful and efficient – it’s great to be here for it to be official and the hard work starts now over the next few months. I’m looking to get an understanding of the rules, the setup, the races and most importantly try and build a stable,” Eustace said. Formerly in a training partnership with Ciaron Maher, Eustace will finish up at one of Australia’s leading stables later this month before embarking on monthly trips to Hong Kong ahead of his permanent basing at Sha Tin in April. “I’m looking forward to the challenge and pressure of building a team myself. It was not an easy decision. I had a great five and a half years in partnership and eight years working for him (Ciaron Maher), but I felt that it was time to take on the challenge and I’m really looking forward to that. “I head back on Saturday evening. I will head to Magic Millions for the stable and I finish up with Ciaron at the end of January. I’ll look to move full time in April and my understanding is that I can train a horse from June 1 and then start having runners at the start of the 2024/25 season in September,” Eustace said. No stranger to the Hong Kong racing scene, Eustace is the nephew of David Oughton, trainer of Cape Of Good Hope, Precision, San Domenico, Che Sara Sara and Idol. “David (Oughton) was a massive influence. He was here (in Hong Kong) and he had a great career and it was something that always hugely interested me. It is genuinely a dream come true to get the opportunity to train here,” Eustace said. Eustace was a former amateur jockey. In Great Britain he worked with Roger Varian and also his father James Eustace. “I did two trips (to Hong Kong). One with War Artist for my father and a couple of years later with Farraaj who ran in the (Hong Kong) Cup for Roger Varian. “They were two great experiences and only bolstered my enthusiasm to hopefully one day get the opportunity,” Eustace said. Maher and Eustace trained 347 winners across the last racing season in Australia, including a string of Group 1 triumphs. They’re best known for Group 1 winners Gold Trip, Hitotsu, Sir Dragonet, Pride Of Jenni, Bella Nipotina, Explosive Jack and more. “Every trainer wants to win the big ones and I have no doubt that is going to take a bit of time, so I think it would be wrong to set targets. I just want to get the right horses in the stable, not necessarily to work on numbers, but quality and competing for the good races to make sure that the product that arrives for owners is the right one,” Eustace said.

Majestic Knight (No. 6) takes out the night’s feature. Thriving in the absence of Zac Purton and Hugh Bowman, Karis Teetan and Vincent Ho consolidated positions inside the top five of the Hong Kong jockeys’ championship with doubles at Happy Valley on Thursday night. Teetan, who sits second in the standings with 35 victories, combined twice with Douglas Whyte to cut Zac Purton’s lead to 15 wins with the Australian on a rare leave of absence, while Ho moved into fifth place with 19 wins after teaming up staunch ally Francis Lui on two occasions. A remarkably consistent performer, Teetan extended his lead over third-placed Bowman (suspended) to 12 following his success on Shinkansen and Majestic Knight. “The New Year has just started and it’s great to get some winners,” the Mauritian said. “Tonight has worked out well and I’m glad I got some winners. I had some decent rides and some good support, so it’s nice to get the wins. “Credit to Douglas and his team. Majestic Knight, when I didn’t lead, he came back under me and when I picked him up, he really responded well. I was very impressed – Howdeepisyourlove is a very classy horse and for Majestic Knight to beat him tonight shows how well he is going.” Whyte was elated after Majestic Knight’s (122lb) triumph after the gelding staved off Wonder Kit (119lb) by a head with Howdeepisyourlove (132lb) only a short head away in third place. “He’s the model of consistency really. It looked like he would lead tonight but that didn’t work out,” the South African said. “He took the trailing position and it worked out well. He saved some energy and it proved beneficial at the end.” Lui and Ho combined with Cordyceps One and the duo also struck with Gallant Waking as Lui took his tally for the season to 26 wins – 15 fewer than Pierre Ng. Extending an incredible season, Pierre Ng scored with Bon’s A Pearla – one of the few mares racing in Hong Kong – under Alexis Badel. Winner of the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) in Australia in 2021, Bon’s A Pearla had placed only twice in 11 starts before the mare unleashed a withering finish tonight. “She’s always been a tricky one – even for the stables who had her before,” Ng said, celebrating his 41st win of the campaign. “We tried everything – every course and distance – but she didn’t like it. Finally, she liked a sprinting race at the Valley.” Jamie Richards’ season continued to gain momentum when Super Fast Dragon swept to victory under Lyle Hewitson, enhancing the Kiwi’s strong affinity with Happy Valley. “He’s a horse who needs a little bit of luck because of his racing style. He was pretty unlucky on IJC (International Jockeys’ Championship) night, and he didn’t have everything go his way that day. It’s good to get a bit of luck, and like most horses in Hong Kong, they need a little bit of time to adjust,” Richards said. “He’s getting there now, and he was given a good ride tonight. Hopefully, he can go on from there. He’s down at the bottom of Class 4, so he’s going to get another go for sure. He’ll find his rating eventually. The owners have been very patient and very loyal, so I thank them for the support.” Beauty Infinity provided 12-time champion trainer John Size with his 20th winner of the campaign and left a favourable impression on in-form jockey Andrea Atzeni. “He ran a very promising race last time, he finished off nicely but we knew we were taking on better horses this time,” Atzeni said. “But he’s obviously improved again and he’s a nice horse.” Sure Joyful proved too strong for Ricky Yiu to provide Matthew Poon with his fourth score of the season.

Perfect Drift, the popular gelding who won or placed in 32 of 50 starts from 2001-08 and earned more than $4.7 million, was euthanized Jan. 4 due to complications from an old paddock injury, according to Dr. Bryan Reed of Stonecrest Farm. He was 25.View the full article

When Jimmy Corrigan was informed after an Oct. 7 race at Belterra Park that his horse Stay Lost (Bernardini) had tested positive for the banned substance methamphetamine he was shocked. The native of Ireland had been training in the U.S. since 1992 and had never had a drug positive of any kind. He said he is careful who he hires and that he's sure that no one in his barn had ever touched the drug. But, at least initially, these things don't matter to the Horseracing Integrity and Welfare Unit (HIWU). Corrigan's horse had tested positive and he would be held responsible. With the B sample having come back and also containing methamphetamine, his suspension has taken effect. He faces a suspension of up to two years. “This has to stop now, not just for me, but for racing,” Corrigan said. “I'm not walking out on this. But things have to change. People are scared and what they have done is create a toxic environment for everyone. People come to me and say they are scared. Is that what they want, where everyone is paranoid? It used to be that when you lost races you worried. Now, when you win races you worry as well.” Corrigan, 63, who never trained in Ireland, opened up his stable in 1992. He has 315 career winners, including 13 in 2023. His best year was in 2011 when he won 32 races. According to the Jockey Club's Thoroughbred Regulatory Rulings page, Corrigan has never had a positive test. There's nothing about him or his record to even remotely suggest that he cheats. But that's not something that enters in the picture when a trainer gets a positive test from HIWU for a banned substance. Six trainers have been sanctioned by HIWU for methamphetamine positives, including one trainer, Dick Clark, who has three separate positives for the drug. Corrigan believes these are all cases of environmental contamination. He said that at Belterra one of the bathrooms is filthy, a reason why some urinate in the stalls. On top of that, he said dozens of people might handle the horse between the time it gets to the track and when it runs. “They want me to control that. I can't,” he said. “It's environmental contamination. That's what happened. I can't be responsible for what other people are doing. So many different people touch the horses by the time they get to the starting gate. It's ridiculous that this can be penned on anyone. “We know we're being scrutinized under HISA,” he said. “We're like fish in a bowl. We're under a microscope. Why would anybody give a horse anything when they know they're going to be tested. There's no logic to this, no commonsense. They want you to be responsible for what other people may or may not be doing. That's impossible, they're ignoring science and what you've got is people who don't know what they're doing patting themselves on the back.” For Corrigan, the next step is to have a hearing which he said will cost him $8,500. If he loses the hearing he can always take his case outside of racing and to a court, which will cost even more money. “I am not quitting,” he said. “I love the game and have been at it a long, long time. I've got the greatest owners and greatest staff in the country. Nobody has it better than me. I love the game.” In the meantime, since the suspension went into effect on Dec. 27, he has had to disperse his horses to other trainers. He hopes commonsense will prevail and HIWU will cut him a break. But he can't be sure. “Yes, I am worried I will get the full two years,” he said. “But to do so they're going to have to ignore that in the 30 years I've been training I've never had a bad test. And 30 years later, I am going to start cheating? It's mind boggling.” Asked to comment on the Corrigan suspension, Alexa Ravit, Director of Communications & Outreach of the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit, provided the following statement: “There were 10 reported methamphetamine findings (five positives from the same trainer, and two positives from Belterra) from 34,470 horses tested through October 7, the date of sample collection for Stay Lost. Therefore, the methamphetamine positivity rate was 0.029%. When a trainer is notified that a Covered Horse under their care has tested positive for a human substance of abuse such as methamphetamine, the positive test will not be publicized, and a Provisional Suspension will not be imposed, unless/until the B Sample result confirms the A Sample finding. This rule was modified to give trainers time while the B Sample analysis was being completed to provide information to HIWU that indicates that the positive test result was likely due to unintended transfer or contamination. Mr. Corrigan did not provide any information to HIWU while waiting for B Sample analysis. The ADMC Program's adjudication procedures for alleged Anti-Doping Rule Violations include the right to request a hearing before the Arbitral Body, and Mr. Corrigan has informed HIWU that he is exercising that right.” The post Jimmy Corrigan Vows to Fight HIWU Suspension appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

A former assistant to Bobby Frankel and a licensed trainer for more than 50 years, Eddie Truman announced on Monday that he had sent his final horse to the track on New Year's Eve morning at Santa Anita—ending a racetrack run that dates back to the early 1960s. A winner of 763 races from 5,334 starters, with purse earnings of $15.7 million, Truman said that with his 77th birthday fast approaching Jan. 23, the time was right for him and his wife Elizabeth to step away from a way of life that dates back to his teenage years, when, as an apprentice jockey in 1963 at Sportsman's Park in Chicago, he led all riders. “I've been blessed to have a great group of owners, some of them for 40 years,” Truman said. “I believe the great horses, the great jockeys, here in a great setting is something we could never replace and that Santa Anita will continue forever.” Truman, who following an initial run as a licensed trainer for one year in Detroit, MI and a subsequent trip to Europe, came to Southern California in 1972. His first stop was the backstretch at Hollywood Park, where he introduced himself to Frankel, in the hopes of securing a job as an exercise rider, assistant, or whatever might be available. “When I came back from Europe, I decided I wanted to be a trainer and that I wanted to go with the best…Forget everything I thought I knew and try to learn from the best. And so, it was Charlie Whittingham or Bobby Frankel,” said Truman. “I happened to walk into Bobby's barn first and I asked him if I could get on some horses or if there were any jobs available. He said 'Who are you?' And I said 'Eddie Truman.' And he said 'Oh my God, you were riding when I was walking hots at Tropical Park in 1963!' So then, he told me to go get on a horse and I was in.” He continued, “I've just been associated with such great people and they were not only clients, but really nice friends. All these people and of course, the horses, have made it spectacular, a dream come true for me.” Truman's top horses include Go West Marie ($452,600); Irish-bred Casino King ($328,689); Moonless Sky ($269,120) and With Iris ($251,740). —courtesy Mike Willman, Santa Anita Stable Notes The post Veteran Trainer Eddie Truman Retires appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Ngauruhoe won the Grant Plumbing Wellington Cup today at Otaki giving trainer Michael House his third consecutive win of the Cup. Driven today by House’s son Wilson, Ngauruhoe started off 30 metres and stepped away well to settle well back one off the fence. With 800 left to travel, the tiring Cashem forced House three wide and from there he progressed and hit the front with 200 metres to run. The gelding fought on well when challenged by the 2nd placed Slainte to take the win by a head. “His run on Tuesday was good so I was fairly confident going into the race today” says House “He tries hard and is pretty safe and deserved the win.” Alongside their Cup win, the father and son combination scored a treble with their other two winners coming by way of Avenger in Race 2, and Amelia Rose in Race 4 giving her two wins in a row since joining the House stable. “Avenger did a bit of work in the race to win well” says House “he was another who went a good race on Tuesday” says House. Amelia Rose, who started favourite, was boxed in four back on the rail throughout the race with House only being able to get out in the open upon turning into the home straight. From there she ran down the second placed Santanna Mach, also trained by House, to win by a head. “Amelia Rose’s win on Tuesday was penalty free so she went into the race here competing against the same grade of horses again” says House “All the horses went well today and I was stoked to get a treble.” In the American Me Otaki Cup it was Village Rebel who was once again too good. Trainer Nicky Chilcott was confident the gelding by Raging Bull would relish the 3000 metre trip and his 40 metre handicap posed no issue. It was the second Country Cup win for the five year old gelding and his seventh win from just 21 starts. View the full article

In this series, we will have a look at American-bred first-time starters in maiden races at the tracks of the Emirates Racing Authority–predominantly Meydan and occasionally Jebel Ali–with a specific focus on pedigree and/or performance in a sales ring in the meetings leading up to the Dubai World Cup program Saturday, Mar. 30, 2024. Meydan will host racing mainly on Fridays, with the exception of Super Saturday Mar. 2 and Dubai World Cup night. Here is one horse of interest making its debut under the Friday night lights: 5th-MEY, Allowance, AED300k ($82k), NH/SH3yo, 1400mT ALWAYS IN FIRE (Audible) will spot each of his 15 rivals some valuable racetrack experience as the lone firster in this Jumeirah Guineas Trial, but he has some pedigree to recommend him. The Apr. 26 foal is a son of Inspeight of Us (Speighstown), whose son Momos (Distorted Humor) defeated Saratoga maidens at first asking before going on to four black-type placings, two at the graded level as a juvenile. Inspeight of Us is a half-sister to Daddys Lil Darling (Scat Daddy), winner of the GI American Oaks on the grass and the dam of the listed-winning and G1 Betfred Oaks runner-up Savethelastdance (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). The SW & GSP second dam Miss Hot Salsa (Houston) is also responsible for GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint upsetter Mongolian Saturday (Any Given Saturday) and SW Victoryasecret (Victory Gallop). Harmash Racing paid $120,000 for Always in Fire after he breezed a furlong in :10 flat at OBS last June.

For Chantal Sutherland, it started out as a freakish accident. She rode Haruki (Karakontie {Jpn}) in the May 6 English Channel S. at Gulfstream and as the horses were pulling up she encountered a bunch of geese who were crossing over the turf course. Spooked by the birds, the horse stopped abruptly and sling shotted Sutherland to the ground. The result was that she broke the humerus bone completely off from her shoulder. She said that her left arm snapped at the base of the shoulder and that it went up into her collarbone. She also broke her left pelvis. Early estimates were that she would be out about three months. More than seven months later, the 47-year-old jockey has not ridden, there is no timetable for her return and she fears that she will never ride again. “I'm working on my range of motion,” she said. “I feel like I'm at a certain point and it's not getting better right now. My doctor said it will need time. Obviously, when you're a jockey, time is not your friend. I would love to be able to ride again. That's the dream. But the reality is I really don't know.” “I hope it doesn't come to that, that I have to retire,” she said. “I'm not in any position to ride at a top level. There's no way. It would be dangerous and I have to get to the point where I can use my left arm. I can't. My arm won't straighten and I have a three second delay from my brain to arm. It needs a lot more work. I've been working really hard at it. I dream of racing again, but I don't know. “It's my range of motion,” she continued. “I can't get my arm above my head. My shoulder only goes to a certain point with my muscles and my range motion. I can't lift a two-pound weight above my head. I can't get my arms above my head. I practice laying down, like a swimmer, my left arm low to the side. My right arm is perfectly strong. I could hold a horse if I wanted with reins with my right arm. But my left side is awkward. Nothing is in sync. I have no control of that.” That the accident was so avoidable continues to haunt Sutherland. She said a trainer stabled near the clubhouse turn feeds the birds during the last break during morning training and again late in the day. The geese live in the infield lake and cross the racetracks to get fed, she said. She doesn't understand why Gulfstream didn't take steps to keep the geese off of the track. “Am I really pissed off? Yes,” she said. “I've gone through a lot of anger with this. I was alone. I never got a phone call from the trainer. Never got a text. I heard from no one. I'm still emotional about it. I went through a lot of anger and I was really depressed. I wanted to give up. I think I am pretty stable, but talking about it is too hard. I had a good five, seven years left as a jockey. It hurts a lot.” She is currently working as an assistant trainer to Jorge Delgado and recently took out her real estate license, but that's not what Sutherland wants to do. She wants to ride again. “It's just that right now it doesn't look good,” she said. “I am praying for a miracle.” The post Still Sidelined After Run-In with Gulfstream Geese, Sutherland Fears She’ll Never Ride Again appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Jockey Kate Walters has received a three-month suspension following a verdict of disrespectful behaviour, towards a stipendiary after a race at the Nhill races on Boxing Day in Australia. The Racing Victoria stewards finalised their investigation on Thursday, considering testimonies from Racing Victoria and club officials. As per the stewards report, Walters was involved in behavior that was deemed detrimental to the interests of racing under AR 228(c). When determining the penalty, the stewards took into account the nature of her comments, her plea, personal circumstances, and her previous disciplinary record. Immediately, Walter’s riding license has been suspended for three months until Thursday, April 4. Matthew Hyland from the Victorian Jockeys Association represented her during the inquiry process. Licensed trainer Kane Post gave evidence on Walters behalf. More horse racing news View the full article

Jockey Emily Pomfrett is currently in critical but stable condition after experiencing an incident during a race in Gatton, Australia, on Thursday. Before the start of the race, Pomfrett’s horse, Wanta Willow, flipped over and landed on top of her. Due to the severity of the situation, all subsequent races were canceled as paramedics swiftly responded and airlifted Pomfrett to Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital. The Queensland Jockeys Associations Glen Prentice stated that Pomfrett is suspected to have suffered injuries to her sternum, lungs, and brain. She was unconscious for a period of time and was being evaluated during transport and upon arrival at the hospital. Aside from being a jockey, Pomfrett is also an equine acupuncturist who became involved in racing last year. The hospital has confirmed that she remains in critical but stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit. In an update shared later by Pomfrett’s partner, Luke Miller, he provided some news. Miller revealed that although Emily has a brain bleed, doctors are not overly concerned. She will spend the night in the care unit. If everything progresses well, they will attempt to wake her up Friday morning. The racing community has come together to support Pomfrett and her family during this period, offering prayers and good wishes for her healing. More horse racing news View the full article

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 this extended holiday weekend running at Nakayama and Kyoto Racecourses: Saturday, January 6, 2024 4th-NKY, ¥11,850,000 ($82k), Newcomers, 3yo, 1800m KITSUNENO YOMEIRI (f, 3, Justify–Aloof {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) looks to become the fifth winner from six to race from her dam, a Group 3 winner in Ireland who was purchased by Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm for a sales-topping $3.9 million in foal to War Front at the 2014 Keeneland November Sale. A daughter of Group 1-winning juvenile Airwave (GB) (Air Express {Ire}), Aloof is a full-sister to SW & MGSP Keats (Ire) and SW Orator (Ire) and a half-to Broodmare of the Year Meow (Ire) (Storm Cat), the dam of champion MG1SW Churchill (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) G1SW Clemmie (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and GSW Blenheim Palace (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Aloof sold for $75,000 in foal to Olympiad at KEENOV this past fall. The cross of Justify over Galileo is responsible for undefeated G1 Dewhurst S. winner City of Troy and the additional graded/group winners Buchu and Red Riding Hood (Ire). B-Whisper Hill Farm LLC (KY) ECORO BLADE (JPN) (c, 3, Mendelssohn–Entropia {Arg}, by Mount Nelson {GB}) is the first foal out of his G1 Criadores-winning dam, who was bred to this sire before being exported to Japan. A Mar. 6 foal, Ecoro Blade was knocked down for the equivalent of $235,606 at the JRHA Select Sale a few months later, and his now-yearling half-brother by Equinox's sire Kitasan Black (Jpn) was purchased for better than $1 million at the same event last summer. B-Grand Stud Sunday, January 7, 2024 7th-NKY, ¥14,880,000 ($103k), Allowance, 3yo, 1800m COSMO GIN BUCK (c, 3, Good Magic–Disposablepleasure, by Holy Bull) belied debut odds of 9-1 to graduate by a half-length going this track and distance Dec. 9 and will try to put them back-to-back here.

Adding to the intrigue is the presence of 2023 second-leading jockey Yuga Kawada.

Nina Gueorguieva's Kinga Farm will offer seven horses at next week's Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale and the entire group will be offered during the four-day auction's first session Monday in Lexington. “I was surprised they gave me the first day of the sale. I asked them if something went wrong,” Gueorguieva said with a laugh. “They said no, nothing is wrong.” A native of Bulgaria, Gueorguieva first came to the U.S. in 1995 as an exchange student. She had participated in show jumping and dressage in Bulgaria and, as part of the exchange program, she was expected to work at a horse farm in Kentucky. “I was kind of disappointed when I came to Kentucky, they didn't have any show jumpers here at that time,” Gueorguieva explained. “At that point, they only had Thoroughbreds. So since then, I have been all in Thoroughbreds. Although, I do have a couple of Standardbreds that we breed and race.” Gueorguieva spent 20 years as manager at Considine Farm, but when the operation changed locations, it also changed the course of her career. “I am a bird fanatic,” Gueorguieva said. “I have peacocks, I have ducks, and what really breaks my heart when we moved from the old Considine Farm to the new place, they didn't let me have any of my birds, which just broke my heart. But I got a lot of experience from there.” The change prompted Gueorguieva to search for her own place. “To tell you the truth, in my dreams, I always wanted to have my own place,” she said. “I have seven acres here in Winchester. It's not a fancy place, but it's pretty good land. And it's my place.” Gueorguieva purchased her farm in 2015 and began operations in 2016. Searching for a name for the new endeavor, she ultimately landed on the patron saint of Poland and Lithuania. “Kinga is a saint from the 12th century,” Gueorguieva said. “That's how the name came about. It's a woman saint–I wanted to make the farm name kind of girly because I am the one, it's my farm. A king is a king and if you put a, it sounds a little more girly. That's how it came about.” The new operation had quick success in the sales ring, purchasing the mare Gingham and Lace (Kris S.), in foal to Street Boss, for $7,000 at the 2016 Keeneland November sale and selling that Street Boss foal for $180,000 at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton July sale. Six-figure results from moderately priced mares continued when a colt by Munnings, purchased by major client Rebecca Farms for $27,000 at the 2020 Keeneland November Sale, sold for $145,000 under the Kinga Farm banner at the 2022 Keeneland January sale. While a Mineshaft colt purchased in utero by Rebecca Farms for $20,000 in November sold for $110,000 at that same sale. Gueorguieva will hope the formula continues to prove profitable with a pair of homebred short yearlings she will be offering at Keeneland next Monday. Hip 74 is a filly by Upstart. Since Gueorguieva purchased Post Script (Quality Road), with the filly in utero, for $7,000 at the 2022 Keeneland November sale, the mare's son Act a Fool (Oscar Performance) won the Hawthorne Derby last June and her daughter Bette Davis (Oscar Performance) broke her maiden just days before her third birthday. The mare's colt by Oscar Performance sold for $180,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale. “She is a pretty nice filly,” Gueorguieva said. “Hopefully she sells good. If she doesn't, we will keep her and we will see how it goes.” Another Kinga homebred is hip 181, a son of Runhappy. Gueorguieva purchased the unraced Timetotime (Not This Time) with the colt in utero for $20,000 at the 2022 Keeneland November sale. The Kinga consignment to the January sale also includes three yearlings bred by Allan Savoie's Rebecca Farms. “[Savoie] gives me a lot of horses,” Gueorguieva said. “He is the one who sponsored me all of these years. I knew him from where I used to work at the old farm when I was talking to him all the time.” The Rebecca Farms offerings include a colt by Volatile (hip 130) out of Simple Addition (Connect), a half-sister to Grade I winner No Parole (Violence). Hip 237 is a filly by Sky Mesa out of Backside Blackie (Yes It's True) and hip 377 is a colt by Midshipman out of Hopeful Union (Dixie Union), a mare purchased by Savoie for $14,000 at last year's Keeneland January sale. “I think they are all pretty nice babies that I have this time,” Gueorguieva said of her January consignment. “I am really happy with them. They all have clean X-rays and they look good. I think this is the right time to sell them. I am sure people will like them.” In addition to managing her own seven-head broodmare band and the mares of her clients, Gueorguieva also represents several clients from Russia, and Central Asian countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan at the Kentucky sales. Kinga Farm signed for Great Winner (Karakontie {Jpn}) for $10,000 at the 2018 Keeneland September sale. The colt went on to win a Russian Group 1 the following year. It may not have been a straight line from Bulgaria, to managing Considine Farm to owning her own farm, but Gueorguieva is enjoying the ride. “I am really happy, to tell you the truth,” she said. “I am happy with my life right now.” Of the future, she added, “Of course, my goals are to breed a better racehorse or a mare that turns out to be big time. We are still hoping. But it's not going to happen if you don't try.” The Keeneland January sale will be held next Monday through Thursday with sessions beginning daily at 10 a.m. The post Kinga Consignment a Day One Affair at Keeneland January appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

There is a new name over the door at Copper Beech Stables, one of the finest training establishments in Ireland, with trainer Cormac Farrell confirming that he has taken over the yard from Michael Halford. It was last February when Halford, who had sent out almost 500 winners from Copper Beech Stables in 16 full seasons, including Group 1 scorer Casamento (Ire), announced that he had taken the decision to combine forces with Tracey Collins under the banner of Conyngham Lodge. Farrell, a respected trainer in his own right but perhaps best known for trading horses at the point-to-point and breeze-up sales, bought the property alongside business partner and well-known owner Douglas Taylor shortly after that announcement. The new owners are already up-and-running at Copper Beech Stables after Farrell sent out two winners on the track in recent months. However, the trainer explained that he will be concentrating predominantly on trading at the point-to-point and breeze-up sales rather than running horses from the famous yard for the foreseeable future. He said, “Douglas and I are lucky that we were able to come in and buy Copper Beech Stables. It's an incredibly exciting venture and the facilities here are second to none. We have put our own stamp on the place and upgraded some of the facilities further with a schooling strip and a Wexford sand gallop to train the point-to-point horses. It's hugely exciting for us.” Farrell, who used to form part of Leamore Horses alongside Anna Calder, enjoyed something of a banner first year when consigning under his own name as CF Bloodstock in 2023. He topped the Tattersalls Guineas Sale when his Zoffany (Ire) colt, later named Bracken's Laugh (Ire), sold for 200,000gns to Ted Durcan and Richard Hughes on behalf of Bernadine and Sean Mulryan. Bracken's Laugh: sold for 200,000gns | Tattersalls Along with Bracken's Laugh, who was a stylish winner of his maiden on debut at Newbury and wasn't beaten far in a Group 1 on his only other start, Farrell secured some notable results at the Tattersalls Craven Sale when three horses sold for a combined figure of 510,000gns. “We've had some good horses through our hands and topped the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-Up Sale last year,” he said. “That was my first year operating under my own name as CF Bloodstock so that meant a lot. Bracken's Laugh was bought by Ted Durcan and Richard Hughes and he could be a very nice horse going forward for connections.” He added, “When Anna [Calder] and I had Leamore Horses, we met Douglas and have just been very lucky together. Douglas is rowing in alongside me on this venture and has invested in Copper Beech Stables. We've had some nice Jet Aways (GB) together and, the first one we bought, Jet Plane (Ire), has gone on to win plenty of races. Jet Powered (Ire) is another and, while he has had his issues, he could be a nice horse for Nicky Henderson.” Farrell is said to have almost 60 horses fully moved into Copper Beech Stables, with the lion's share of those being prepared for the breeze-ups and the remainder for point-to-points. There are just a handful of horses to run on the track, but that is not to say the trainer would be against adding more numbers for that sphere in time. He explained, “It's working well and, as I said, last year was my first operating under CF Bloodstock so hopefully we can build on it in 2024. Douglas is involved in many of our horses but we have lots of other investors, too. “We have a mixture of point-to-point and breeze-up horses here and, while we do run a few on the track, invariably they would be horses that either missed a sale or failed to sell for whatever reason. “I like to trade horses, predominantly, and, while we'd be open to taking more horses to train for the track, we're always looking at those who have some upside and might be traded on at some point. You have to do that in Ireland in order to survive.” The post Trainer Cormac Farrell Buys Famous Copper Beech Stables appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

'TDN Rising Star' Annapolis (War Front–My Miss Sophia, by Unbridled's Song), winner of the 2022 GI Coolmore Turf Mile S. in a stakes-record time of 1:33.29 at Keeneland, has been retired from racing and will enter stud at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Ky., for the 2024 breeding season. A graded stakes winner at two and three in the barn of Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher, Annapolis earned over $1.5 million as a homebred for Bass Racing. Annapolis was produced by My Miss Sophia, winner of the GII Gazelle S. and runner-up in the GI Kentucky Oaks. Carrying Annapolis, My Miss Sophia brought $4 million from agent Steve Young on behalf of the Bass family at the 2018 Keeneland November Sale. “Annapolis has been a star since the day he was born,” said Claiborne Farm President Walker Hancock. “Being a $4 million in utero purchase, the bar was high and he lived up to his lofty expectations. He was a graded stakes winner at two, a record-setting Grade I winner at three, and hails from an incredible dirt family.” Hancock continued, “His dam was a graded stakes winner on dirt and was runner up in the Kentucky Oaks. Also in the family are Florida Derby winner Materiality, Alabama winner Embellish the Lace, and Travers winner Afleet Express. With his imposing physique, we believe his offspring will be a success in the sales ring and on the racetrack.” Annapolis, winner of the 2021 GII Pilgrim S. and 2022 GIII Saranac S., will stand for a fee of $12,500 LFSN.
