Photo: Steve Hart. Straight Charge, ridden by Tim Clark, emerged victorious in a thrilling battle with stablemate Espionage. This win solidifies his position as a leading contender for the Group 1 $4.92 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) back at the track on March 23rd shortening his odds to $9 through Ladbrokes. “Excellent. He is a very talented colt,” Adrian Bott told the media speaking of their Silver Slipper winner. “I was heartbroken we didn’t get to see him go up to the Magic Millions, he’s such a great talent. But he’s back here today to showcase it and it was a very impressive win. “He has been a natural two-year-old all the way through, from the minute we did anything with him he has shown that natural brilliance. That great early speed and good, sustained speed. “He has been very impressive today and that’s what we have seen all the way through. “He took the running up early and it was very difficult because he had a good colt (stablemate Espionage) chasing him. “I think he enjoyed the conditions and there is still a bit of improvement to come.” Espionage, ridden by Nash Rawiller, chased valiantly but ultimately fell short by a length. He remains a strong contender in the Golden Slipper picture, currently priced at $11 in all-in markets. “He was excellent. He hasn’t raced since the Breeders’ (Plate) and ultimately, that may have been the difference,” Bott said of Espionage. “That extra grounding and the campaign that Straight Charge had in between, that may have been the difference today. “I do think the ground was also slightly against Espionage. “He’s got a lot of natural brilliance and he may not have been able to pick his feet up initially at the top of the straight. Back on top of the ground I think we’ll see further improvement.” Waterhouse, aiming for her eighth Golden Slipper win, has a powerful contingent in contention. Straight Charge looks to follow in the footsteps of Farnan (2020), the last horse to complete the Silver Slipper – Golden Slipper double also hailing from the Waterhouse/Bott stable. Fellow Tulloch Lodge contender, Magic Millions 2YO Classic winning colt Storm Boy ($3), remains the pre-field favourite for the Golden Slipper 2024, but Straight Charge’s impressive win has shaken up the market. This race sets the stage for an exciting Golden Slipper contest, with Waterhouse & Bott’s two-year-olds poised for a strong showing.

Immediacy (NZ) ridden by Luke Currie wins the Autumn Classic. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Immediacy (+400) has maintained his unbeaten start to his career with a very impressive win in the Group 2 Autumn Classic at Caulfield, giving Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young their first victory in the race. After leaving the barriers well, Luke Currie allowed his mount to settle in behind the speed before peeling off the leader’s heels on the home turn and let down with a blistering turn of foot in the home straight. The son of Tarzino ran straight past Socks Nation (+500) and Time To Chat (+4000) along with Our Couver (+1600), but he was quick to shake off the challenge of the horse on his inside and careered away to win by three lengths. Of the backmarkers, the race favourite Caracas (+220) finished off nicely and ran home into second place, showing that more distance will suit the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained galloper well next start. 2024 Autumn Classic Replay – Immediacy Natalie Young was on course to represent the stable and she spoke post-race. “It really was (awesome), we ummed and ahhed about the blinkers and we ran Luke during the week and said what we’ve seen on the track it really made him concentrate a little bit,” Young said. “They went a little bit slow, the tempo, and he did overrace there a touch but once he got off the rail and got clear air he was off and gone. “At home on the track he really put his head down and concentrated, he’s won three from three now and the first two he did a lot wrong and still got off the bit at the six hundred. “He looked like he was never going to win at Sandown, and he came down and won so it’s exciting to have a horse that can put three together and a group two on the way up and we might have a genuine good Derby horse, hopefully. “We’ll probably head to a Rosehill Guineas, it’s good prize money, gets to run that way around and then head into the Australian Derby.” Luke Currie gave the winner a peach of a ride and he echoed the thoughts of the trainer post-race. “Today, first time in the blinkers, he jumped away quite well today, which he also did last time but he just lost the bridle through the run last time, today he was probably doing it a little bit too keen if anything,” Currie said. “Five weeks between runs with the blinkers on, but that run under his belt might take that away from him a little bit, he showed a good turn of foot when I asked him when he came out. “For a horse, he’s a bit of a baby, I think the blinkers really did the trick coming to Caulfield for the first time, it was good thinking by Nat and Trent to do that, take the risk that he may do too much but with that bit of a break he ate up the 1800, it was a nice effort. “He’ll have a bit of trouble getting me off him, anyway.” Immediacy is a +1200 chance in the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas futures market with online bookmakers.

Straight Charge charges to victory in the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes. Photo: RacingNSW The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott freight train continues to roll along into the early portion of the autumn, as Straight Charge (+140) took total control to secure victory in the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on Saturday. It was a front-running masterclass by the son of Written By, with Tim Clark electing to cross to the lead throughout the 1100m contest from barrier seven, ensuring stablemate and second-favourite Espionage (+180) would be forced to take the leaders back. The two-year-old colt led them up at a strong tempo, with some of the leading contenders – including Erno’s Cube (+550), Celerity (+900) and Embassy (+800) all left chasing a long way out. That trio would be left fighting out the finish for the minor money, however, as the Waterhouse & Bott pair were simply a class above on Saturday. When the whips were cracking, there was only one horse you wanted to be on, however, as Straight Charge dictated every step of the way, clearing out on Espionage setting up the quinella pair beautifully for the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) on March 23. 2024 Silver Slipper Stakes Replay – Straight Charge Co-trainer Adrian Bott was on course to discuss the impressive outing of both his two-year-olds and gave the impression the traditional Todman lead-up would be the next target for both. “Excellent. He is a very talented colt (Straight Charge),” said Bott. “I was heartbroken we didn’t get to see him go up to the Magic Millions, he’s such a great talent. But he’s back here today to showcase it and it was a very impressive win. “He has been a natural two-year-old all the way through, from the minute we did anything with him he has shown that natural brilliance. That great early speed and good, sustained speed. “He has been very impressive today and that’s what we have seen all the way through. He took the running up early and it was very difficult because he had a good colt (stablemate Espionage) chasing him. I think he enjoyed the conditions and there is still a bit of improvement to come. “Both intend to go to the Todman, that’s the path we have set for them. That will have them fit, hard and ready for the Golden Slipper so every intention we see them both again.” Jockey Tim Clark was elated with the victory of his mount and credited his growing association with the Waterhouse & Bott camp. “I felt that if anything today was where he was going to be probably most vulnerable but he’s just got just an abundance of speed,” said Clark. “But he come back to me nicely when I asked him and sort of rested around the bend. I was confident that he’d get through the ground (Soft 6) from what he’d shown at home. “We come here thinking that that’s the sort of performance we want to see from him, it was excellent to get the result. “It’s a good position to be in. I don’t take that lightly being one of their riders for Gai and Adrian. But I really just lean on them mainly and Gai was pretty adamant I stick with this bloke pre-Christmas and again leading into this prep. “I try and lean on them a lot and they’ve been right most of the time.” Straight Charge is now on the third line of betting for the Group 1 Golden Slipper at +1000 with online bookmakers.

Raikoke ridden by Ben Melham wins the Zeditave Stakes at Caulfield. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr have taken out their second Zedative Stakes in five years, thanks to a smart front-running ride from Ben Melham aboard Raikoke (+900), who led from start to finish in the Group 3 contest at Caulfield. With the last three winners coming from the first two in running, Melham made sure that he pushed forward and held the front on his son of Written Tycoon, and that decision proved pivotal to the gelding winning the race. The expected leader and race favourite, Brave Mead (+125), slightly missed the jump and was made to settle near the rear of the field before making a sweeping run around the home turn. Both Brave Mead and Scully (+10000) took ground off the winner, with the latter picking his way through the field, but there was no catching the winner, as Raikoke went over the line in splendid isolation. 2024 Zedative Stakes Replay – Raikoke Michael Kent Jnr represented the stable in the post-race interview, where he spoke highly of the winner. “As soon as he won that (maiden), we said straight to the Zedative Stakes, for any horse to do that at their second start, it’s impressive,” Kent Jnr said. “He rolled along, I thought every horse had their chance to catch him, he’s having start number two so a massive effort. “He’s still immature this horse, he’s a bit touchy in the shins during the week so we go quite soft on him so to do that at his second start is a massive effort, very good. “As always, nothing on race day but he’s won now so whether you aim at Sydney or something a bit brighter, a good problem to have. “The other horse (Pivot City) was disappointing, I thought he’d go really well today, he’s a smart horse.” Ben Melham brought up an early winner on Blue Diamond Stakes Day, with his big ride on Coleman in the feature still to come. “He’s a big, strong, robust horse,” Melham said of Raikoke. “It surprised me how well he jumped, he really got off to a flyer and found a beautiful rhythm at the top there and was able to control the tempo, never at any stage did I think he was going to get beaten. “I was surprised he (Brave Mead) wasn’t up there eyeballing me, I’m not sure what happened to him, I just rode my bloke, real professional for a lightly raced horse and exciting to see what the future holds for him. “I imagine he’d be better on tracks with a bit more give, too. “He’s pretty dynamic and explosive at this point in time so, lightly raced, untapped, who knows what the ceiling is.” Horse racing news View the full article

Sassy Boom ridden by Blake Shinn wins the Angus Armanasco Stakes at Caulfield. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Sassy Boom (+650) only recorded her second career victory at Sale last Sunday, but after such a strong performance, Danny O’Brien made the right call to back her up in the Group 3 Angus Armanasco Stakes and the filly landed the spoils at Caulfield. Blake Shinn was quick to notice the early track pattern after the winners of races one and two came from inside the first two upon settling, so when the daughter of Spirit Of Boom came around the home turn under a hold, it was always going to be hard to run her down. The race favourites were unlucky, as Serasana (+360) was posted three-wide for the entire trip and did well to hold onto third place, while Autumn Angel (+340) settled near last and didn’t make much of an impression in the concluding stages. Pure Paradise (+650) made ground along the rail, in what looks to be the place to be early on, but So Glamorous (+450) was the best of the swoopers out wide and ran home strong into second place. However, all honours went to the winner as she ran away with a valuable black-type win. 2024 Angus Armanasco Stakes Replay – Sassy Boom Danny O’Brien was very pleased with the win of Sassy Boom, and he spoke post-race. “She filled us with confidence last time that she’d won effortlessly, it was really a barrier trial style of run, she’s a filly we just couldn’t get going in the Spring so we only gave her the one run, but we’ve always had a good opinion of her,” O’Brien said. “She had a very easy week, presented in great order again today, once again got a good map and a good ride and it was a very painless watch. “She’s an on-speed filly, and she’s very much a firm ground filly. “She doesn’t appreciate anything other than a good three, good four.” Blake Shinn echoed the thoughts of O’Brien in his post-race interview. “I certainly did (have a lot of confidence),” Shinn confirmed. “I’ve got a lot of respect for Danny, he’s a wonderful trainer, he’s been one of my biggest supporters since I’ve come back to Melbourne. “He turned his horse out really well, he told me, he said she’d win and I got on her and she gave me a lot of confidence going to the gates. “We envisaged being one, two in the run, she jumped well, just went a moderate tempo, she wanted to build from the five hundred. “I put the pressure on early and Danny’s a great conditioner of horse, so I had confidence to go early and she proved too good.” Horse racing news View the full article

Dunkel proved too strong for his rivals on Saturday winning the Vale Verry Elleegant Handicap (2000m) at Caulfield. Photo: Bruno Cannatelli The opening race at Caulfield on Saturday was named in honour of an iconic New Zealand-bred champion, and it was fitting that Dunkel won it with some of the stamina and toughness that top-flight Kiwi stayers are renowned for. The $150,000 Vale Verry Elleegant (2000m) was given its name after Verry Elleegant sadly died due to foaling complications earlier in the week. Dunkel’s one Group One victory in last year’s South Australian Derby (2500m) is no comparison with Verry Elleegant’s full-to-the-brim trophy cabinet, but the Dundeel gelding has nevertheless compiled an impressive record of his own and is still on an upward trajectory. His achievements and his rating of 105 towered over his seven rivals in Saturday’s handicap field, and as a result he had to carry a hefty 61.5kg. But after enjoying a comfortable run on the outside of the leader, jockey Billy Egan pushed the button in the straight and Dunkel took control. Mankayan made up late ground to eat into the margin, but Dunkel was still ahead by three-quarters of a length at the finish line. “With a small field and landing outside the leader, it all worked out in his favour today,” Egan said. “I think he probably wasn’t as dominant as he was at Moonee Valley in his previous start (on December 30), but the long gap between runs will be the reason for that. After this run, I think he’ll be really peaking now. “He’s certainly looking for more ground. He relaxed beautifully and was still very strong through the line. He’s just got a naturally good set of lungs on him.” The Patrick Payne-trained Dunkel has now had 11 starts for eight wins, two seconds and A$852,625 in stakes. “This has just been the best ride of all time for all of the family that we’ve got involved in this horse,” part-owner Brendan Danaher said. “We’ll go to the Pakenham Cup (Listed, 2500m) next, and then the Roy Higgins (Listed, 2600m), which gets you into the Melbourne Cup (Group 1, 3200m). If we end up there, we won’t be able to control ourselves.” Horse racing news View the full article

Adam Nicholls and the Gary Clarke-trained Wilsons Prom combined for another win in Darwin on Friday, with the five-year-old gelding also breaking the 1600m track record at Fannie Bay. Picture: Caroline Camilleri (Darwin Photography Professionals) Wilsons Prom could provide Darwin trainer Gary Clarke with his fourth St Patrick’s Day Cup (1600m) in five years after Friday’s slashing win at Fannie Bay. In a display that mirrored his last start win, the five-year-old gelding made it four wins from five starts by decimating his rivals by six lengths over 1600m (0-76). Two weeks ago, the son of Xtravagent, lumping 60.5kg, finished 6.5 lengths clear over 1600m (0-64) after sharing the early lead before sprinting clear. Adam Nicholls once again partnered Wilsons Prom (57.5kg), the $1.65 favourite with horse racing bookmakers on Friday. Sandwiched between fellow leaders Command King, who held the fence, and Hong Kong Fighter along the back straight, Wilsons Prom forged ahead at the 600m and was two lengths clear at the home turn with 350m remaining. By the 200m, he was four lengths clear before going on to break the 1600m track record set by Dominus (1:34.22) in June 2022 after clocking 1:34.03. Wilsons Prom outclassed stablemate Vallabar ($5), third in the 2022 Darwin Cup, while Angela Forster’s Volatore ($4.80) pipped stablemate Command King for third. Arriving two years ago from Ciaron Maher and David Eustace’s stable in Victoria, Wilsons Prom had little impact in the three-year-old features during the Darwin Cup Carnival. Since June 2023, the gelding has had nine starts and finished second on four occasions before his four wins. The rain and mud on Australia Day proved a hurdle when 11th over 1300m (BM73). The $40,000 St Patrick’s Day Cup (1600m) at 0-76 level on March 16 is likely to be Wilsons Prom’s next assignment, a race Clarke has mortgaged recently with Java (2020), Count Of Essex (2022) and Siakam (2023). Meanwhile, Clarke’s eight-year-old mare Bel’s Banner (Jarrod Todd), a $4.60 hope, finished strongly over the concluding 100m to overcome stablemates Siakam ($10) and Desert Dreamer ($5) in an open 1200m handicap. For the daughter of Starspangledbanner, it was her first win in 10 starts after saluting on Anzac Day last year. Desert Dreamer, camped on the rails, Siakam and Phil Cole’s in-form Cielo D’Oro ($2.25), who sat three deep, shared the early lead with Bel’s Banner trailing in fourth place. With 200m to go, Bel’s Banner joined the leaders after splitting Desert Dreamer and Siakam, who was having his first start since Darwin Cup Day last August, and a big finish loomed before the mare got home by a length. After riding a winning double for trainers Tayarn Halter and Dick Leech at the start of February, apprentice Jade Hampson repeated the dose at the end of the month. Halter’s Tyquendo ($8), back after five months, exited the outside gate in the nine-horse field over 1100m (0-58) with the five-year-old gelding producing an outstanding performance. Settling midfield, the son of Outreach sat three or four deep for the entire trip and with 100m to go he battled it out with three opponents before toppling Tom Logan’s Wolf Queen ($21) and Chris Pollard’s Overruled ($11). Hampson timed her run perfectly in the 1200m maiden when Leech’s Mutany ($3.60), a four-year-old gelding by Xtravagent, caught Clarke’s Debating ($2.50) – easily two lengths clear at the 200m – right on the line to salute by a long head, with Cole’s Proklisi ($5) third.

By Mike Love Jimmy James Maguire ($6.00FF) will need to overcome a tough mark in today’s Gallagher Insurance Ashburton Cup, though Swannanoa trainer Brendon Hill is happy with how the five-year-old old son of Bettors Delight has progressed since his last start victory at Methven on February 11. “That was a great win for the owners. He has come on very good since then. I’m happy with him. “The handicap today is a bit of a concern. 20m over 2400m around Ashburton will not be easy at all. “I’m not saying he can’t win. If he could run top four I’d have to be happy.” Ricky May will drive Jimmy James Maguire, the pair have combined in all six of his wins so far. Jimmy James Maguire will continue working toward the Country Cups Championship final at Addington on May 10th. Earlier on in the card in race 4 Hill and May will combine with maiden pacer Ultimate Seisation ($4.00FF). The three-year-old Ultimate Machete filly has pleased Hill in her short career to date. “I said to the owners we will try something different. A different track. A trip down the road to further her career.” Ultimate Seisation has placed in her last two starts at Addington. “I’m really happy with her. She goes good. “Depending on how the race pans out and how Ricky drives her, I think she can win.” Other highlights of the day include an all women drivers event in support of the team teal campaign. Aroha Kenny ($2.10FF) and Kerryn Tomlinson team up for Oamaru trainer Phil Williamson, and they look head and shoulders above their rivals in what is otherwise a very even field. Race one gets underway at 12:20pm. View the full article

The 2024 All American Thoroughbred Stallion Sale put on by Jockeys and Jeans raised a total of $95,550, the organization announced Friday. The proceeds, which will benefit the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF), are a record for the sale which also included a record 48 seasons sold. Donations came from 32 farms across seven states and included 73 no-guarantee seasons purchased by 25 individual breeders. “It was truly a community effort and one whose response proves racing is indeed a community; one that cares,” said Interim Jockeys and Jeans President Dr. Eddie Donnally who originated the season sale. “I believe that those blue-collar breeders in our industry represent racing's heartland. You're not likely to find them selling their yearlings in the Keeneland Select Sale, but like all breeders and stallion owners, they are holding on to hope; hope that their next foal will be a champion.” “I believe I speak for the men and women who gave a big part of their lives beneath the horses we all know and love and directly benefit from this sale when I say we hope and pray every mating produces a genuine runner. Those severely injured jockeys and I, and every member of our committee, profusely thank each donor and buyer. They made a lot of difference in a lot of lives.” PDJF Board President Nancy LaSala added: “On behalf of the men and women the PDJF serves, we are most grateful to the breeders who have supported this auction and the time and effort of the Jockeys and Jeans Committee to make this a successful fundraiser.” The post New Revenue Record For Jockeys And Jeans All American Stallion Season Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The massive deep freeze which crippled the second half of Oaklawn Park's January cards seems like a distant memory, as weekend weather in Hot Springs looks to punch through the upper 60s and into the lower 70s. The sunshine will be a welcome sight with points intended for passage to the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Kentucky Oaks ripe for the picking. Timberlake Favorite Choice in Rebel The Arkansas series for the colts features another running of the GII Rebel S., which brings together a field of 13. The class headliner looking to take home 50 Derby credits to the winner is 'TDN Rising Star' Timberlake (Into Mischief). Bred by St. Elias and owned by WinStar, the Brad Cox trainee is coming off the shelf for his 3-year-old debut. Last summer, the bay powered across the Ellis Park wire by 9 1/4 lengths which earned him a 'Rising Star' blue ribbon at second asking. As the runner-up in the GI Hopeful S. at Saratoga, he returned to New York a month later to capture the GI Champagne S. during the Belmont at the Big A meet. His juvenile campaign came to a close when he finished fourth to 'Rising Stars' Fierceness (City of Light), Muth (Good Magic) and Locked (Gun Runner) in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita. “We gave him a little bit of a break after the Breeders' Cup,” said Cox. “He had a long campaign, and we were very happy with what he was able to accomplish at the age of 2. Just excited about what lies ahead for him. He's really turned it on over the last two weeks with his works. We feel like we've got him about as good as we're going to get him.” Timberlake is the only entry without an attempt over the local strip in Hot Springs. Out of the other 12, Bill and Corinne Heiligbrodt, who welcomed as an investor current Oaklawn leading owner Staton Flurry, will look for 'TDN' Rising Star' Carbone (Mitole) to improve. The favorite in the GIII Southwest S. turned in a seventh-place finish. Others in for a bushel full of points include a pair from Ken McPeek's shedrow. Northern Flame (Flameaway) missed hitting the board last fall in the GI Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland and in the GIII Street Sense S. at Churchill Downs. However, his gate to wire win against optional claimers at Oaklawn Jan. 28 proves he can be dangerous up front. His stablemate Common Defense (Karakontie {Jpn}) displays the complete opposite running style, as he likes to be heard from late in the game. “(Northern Flame) has improved from 2 to 3,” said trainer Ken McPeek, who just celebrated his 2,000th victory this week. “He fought on well in that allowance race. He's a good, solid colt. … (Common Defense) didn't like the mud last time. I'm hoping for a dry track this weekend. I started to take him to the (Mar. 2) Battaglia Memorial at Turfway because I think ultimately his future may be on turf. He worked so good this week that I went ahead and put him back in at Oaklawn.” Making his third start over the Oaklawn dirt is the experienced picker Just Steel (Justify) for Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who was the runner-up in the GIII Southwest S. He will break to the inside of an upstart named Time for Truth (Omaha Beach) on the stretch out for conditioner Ron Moquett and principal owner Harry T. Rosenbaum. Honeybee Could Be Sweet For West Omaha West Omaha | Hodges Photography/Lou Hodges, Jr. Just as with the boys, the fillies are also looking to harvest a top prize of 50 points. Their haul in Saturday's GIII Honeybee S. will be applied towards a spot in the starting gate for the GI Kentucky Oaks. Leading the charge is another from Cox's stable, who like Timberlake, has been working out at his Fair Grounds base. Gary and Mary West's homebred West Omaha (West Coast) was scratched out of the GII Rachel Alexandra S. after she won the Silverbulletday S. by five lengths in New Orleans Jan. 20. The filly will tangle the Martha Washington S. winner Band of Gold (Preservationist). The McPeek trainee turned on the jets down the lane in that Feb. 3 stakes race and won by 2 3/4 lengths in what was an impressive display of speed. Finally, Greg Tramontin, who left racing for 23 years before returning once again as an owner in 2018, enters Alys Beach (Omaha Beach). The chestnut debuted a winner last summer at Saratoga under Tom Amoss, but she was a well-beaten fourth in the GI Spinaway S. upstate before the meet closed and when she faded to third in the GI Alcibiades S. at Keeneland in early October.

Ahmed Foustok, the brother of the late Classic-winning owner Mahmoud Foustok, passed away at the age of 87, the Racing Post reported on Friday. The proprietor of Cedar Tree Stud in the UK, the Lebanese native celebrated group success with Brondesbury (Ire) (Welsh Saint {Ire}) and On Stage (GB) (Comedy Star), but his most well-known horse was Provideo (GB) (Godswalk) who won 16 races as a juvenile in 1984, equaling the UK record. Foustok also bred and raced In Excess (Ire) prior to selling that horse who would go on to Grade I glory in the U.S. and establish a sire line whose current top representative is Breeders' Cup winner Uncle Mo.

French rider Maryline Eon lifted the challenge trophy for the Invest Saudi International Jockeys Challenge at King Abdulaziz Racecourse on Friday and secured the largest share of the prize-money. Saudi Arabia's multiple title-winning Camilo Ospina would finish second and visiting Brazilian rider Victoria Mota reached the final podium spot in third despite not managing a win on the evening. A brisk early start in the contest, which went down to the wire, saw Eon hold off all challengers late thanks to those early efforts, ending on 25 points from four rides. She claimed a runner-up finish in Round 1 behind Ospina on Altawhidi (KSA) and a victory in Round 2 over 1400m aboard Mo Aela (KSA). “I didn't know at first I'd won, I thought I would need to get points in the last race,” Eon said. “I'm very proud. I try every day to win races in France and ride against very good jockeys but to win this against the very best jockeys in the world–I'm very grateful.” Round 3 went to America as Luis Saez, last year's winner, struck with Pagan (Ire) in a turf sprint, and Round 4 was claimed by South African Rachel Venniker, who willed her mount Cliffs Of Fury (GB) over the line to claim the final points race. Saez and Venniker tied for fourth place.

6th-SA, $65K, Msw, 4-5yo, 7f, 5:59 p.m. ET At $1.15 million as the ninth highest price taken during Keeneland's 2021 September Sale, Mayberry Farm signed the ticket on behalf of Lee and Susan Searing's CRK Stable to acquire THEISMANN (Quality Road). Sent to John Shirreffs, the colt initially began to drill late in his juvenile year, but was given time by the veteran conditioner when he had several minor setbacks as a 3-year-old. Ready to fire as an 8-1 shot on the morning-line, the bay was bred by Dixiana and is the first foal out of GSP Brielle's Appeal (English Channel). Unraced second dam Court of Appeal (Deputy Minister) is responsible for MGSW/MGISP Authenticity (Quiet American), who produced GI Arkansas Derby and GI Runhappy Malibu S. victor Charlatan (Spieghtstown).
