Returning from Kentucky—including a five-hour layover in Atlanta—was worth it as Rispoli guided Jungle Peace to victory in the 6 1/2-furlong, $100,000 Senorita Stakes (G3T) over Santa Anita's downhill turf April 27.View the full article

Talented filly Ardalio (NZ) (Ardrossan) has already done more than enough to take her place alongside her dam in Elsdon Park’s broodmare band, but there are expectations she can further boost her value next season. Bred and raced by farm principal Lib Petagna, the three-year-old produced a stirring performance to win Saturday’s Gr.3 Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes (1200m). Ardalio’s Te Rapa success, the third of her six-start career, followed a luckless midfield finish in the $3.5 million NZB Kiwi (1500m) after racing three wide without cover from a wide gate. “We were quietly confident going into The Kiwi, but unfortunately I picked the barrier draw and she was wide for the whole trip and still finished on, so we were really pleased with her,” Elsdon Park General Manager Kerrie Cox said. “She came home this (Monday) morning for a break and we will then gear her up for her four-year-old season. “She’s pretty exciting and Stephen (Marsh, trainer) thinks she’s got Group One potential so hopefully she can fulfil that. If for any reason she doesn’t she’s still definitely done her job.” Ardalio is a daughter of the Written Tycoon mare Bridgewater, who was a A$300,000 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale purchase with her dam a half-sister to multiple stakes winner Index Linked (Dansili). Bridgewater only raced twice and has made an excellent start to her breeding career with her first foal Pure Alpha (NZ) (Ardrossan), a brother to Ardalio, a dual metropolitan winner from Chris Waller’s Sydney stable. “We kept a share in Pure Alpha, who’s quite a big, raw sort of type and Ardalio is smaller and nuggety,” Cox said. “She’s also got a rising two-year-old brother, who we’ve retained, and he’s been broken in and is back at the breakers for a refresher. “He’s quite similar to Ardalio, really well put together, and Stephen will train him as well. “The mare’s also got a Per Incanto colt, who has just been weaned and he’s a lovely sort with a bit more size and she’s in foal now to Sword Of State.” Elsdon Park have a sizeable broodmare band, with the 600-acre Waikato farm regularly culling and upgrading. “We run around 70 or 80 mares and try to keep it in that range,” Cox said. “We bought quite a few nice mares last year and have seven others going on Gavelhouse next week, and that will be our reduction for the year. “We like to keep within those numbers to utilise all our stallion shares and add a bit of Australian flavour and use some of the new stallions coming in here.” View the full article

El Vencedor’s (NZ) (Shocking) trip to Hong Kong to contest Sunday’s Gr.1 FWD QEII Cup (2000m) had the making of a fairytale for his Kiwi connections, but it was not to be, with the multiple Group One winner fading late after racing keenly throughout. His trainer Stephen Marsh was extended an invitation from the Hong Kong Jockey Club to compete at their prestigious FWD Champions Day meeting following his impressive run of form in New Zealand, including three successive Group One victories. The Cambridge horseman was excited to test his six-year-old’s talent against the world’s best, but the trip didn’t get off to the best of starts, with El Vencedor placed under an injury cloud early last week. The four-time Group One winner was treated for lameness in the left hind leg after arriving in Hong Kong and was restricted to light work until Tuesday morning, where he was passed suitable to complete trackwork at Sha Tin. Marsh was pleased with El Vencedor’s progress throughout the week and was happy enough with his gelding heading into Sunday’s feature. Under Champion Hong Kong hoop Zac Purton, El Vencedor was quick to jump from the ace barrier on Sunday and took up an early front-running position. He failed to settle and continued to race keenly, opening up several lengths on his rivals at the 1000m mark. His efforts told in the home straight, with the Kiwi hope fading to finish last. “He jumped a length clear, got to the front and he just pulled so hard,” Marsh said. “He pulled hard into the first bend, Zac said at about the 1400m he started to go keener, and he tried to take another hold at the 800m. “Zac got off and said he needed more Weetbix to hold him. It’s a shame, he basically just ran himself into the ground.” While disappointed with the result, Marsh said he was proud to represent New Zealand and he believes his charge may have been overawed by the occasion. “We got him here, we got him in the race against the world’s best, so we have still got to be very proud,” he said. “We represented New Zealand, we didn’t get the right result, but we still gave it a crack. “We wouldn’t have done anything different. He has always had that in him a little bit, of going a bit fierce. It was new surroundings to him with the big crowd. I thought he paraded brilliantly and maybe in the run the occasion got to him a touch. “He is the new kid on the block in these big dances. He will come back better and we might be back here one day.” Marsh was pleased with the way El Vencedor came through the race, and will now set a plan for next season. “He pulled up really well, he seemed quite happy with himself,” he said. “It is back to the drawing board. He is a great horse, and he will come back as a great horse.” View the full article

Jungle Peace (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) hadn't been winning by a lot since arriving stateside, winning each of her last two starts by a mere half length. In Sunday's GIII Senorita, jockey Umberto Rispoli once again timed it just right to get the filly home a head in front of 4-1 shot Amorita (Liam's Map) while giving the Irish-bred filly her first taste of black-type. Breaking alertly from the two-hole, Jungle Peace exchanged blows with the rail-riding favorite Cloe (Tiz the Law), but soon moved ahead of that rival, carving out an opening quarter in :21.83. Still keeping the 4-5 choice at bay turning for home through a half in :44.26, 7-2 Jungle Peace shook clear momentarily but had to dig deep to fend off the oncoming Amorita, who got within a head at the wire. Cloe was a 1 1/4 lengths back in third. Jungle Peace finished sixth after a troubled first go at Navan last September before rounding out her European campaign with a third in a seven-furlong test over Dundalk's synthetic Oct. 11. Freshened for her American bow, the bay came from just off the pace to narrowly score in a 6 1/2-furlong race at Santa Anita Feb/ 15 and made it two straight with a front-running score cutting back to six panels Mar. 9. Pedigree Notes: With Sunday's Senorita victory, Jungle Peace earned her sire's fifth graded/group winner in addition to his 12th overall black-type scorer. The winner's dam, Peace Treaty, is also responsible for a year-old gelding by Havana Grey (GB) named Havana Smoke {Ire}, in addition to an unraced juvenile colt by Coulsty (Ire). Most recently, she produced a filly by the latter in 2024.

At the bell, Opulent Restraint (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) shot to the lead, while 2-1 second choice Laurelin was saving his strength for the late innings. As the pacesetter began to tire down the lane, the Graham Motion trainee was finding his best stride. Laurelin got his picture taken and netted his second black-type trophy.

After five scratches in an optional claimer at Aqueduct, Garamond (Uncle Mo–Blue Watch, by Tapit) took on 'TDN Rising Star' Cornucopian (Into Mischief) and won in gate to wire fashion on Sunday afternoon. A 5-2 shot in a three-horse field here, the colt exited the blocks cleanly and set the pace up the backstretch. Cornucopian attempted to keep up, but Garamond continued to make every pole a winning one. In the end, the Chad Brown trainee cleared the condition by two lengths. The final running time was 1:36.58. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-1. O/B-Juddmonte; T-Chad Brown. Not quite Onion beating Secretariat but GARAMOND spoils the Preakness Prep for 1/9 favorite Cornucopian. The son of Uncle Mo got out front early and repelled a bid from the favorite to win easily. That's why they run the races. #HorseRacingTips #HorseRacing pic.twitter.com/U3Y8xThMbh — Matthew DeSantis (@failedtomenace) April 27, 2025 The post Garamond Gate To Wire At The Big A, Cornucopian Second Best appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Oaklawn Park's Hot Springs Stakes winner Clever Again (American Pharoah) worked ahead of an intended tilt in the GI Preakness Stakes at Pimlico May 17. Clever Again worked five-eighths of a mile in 1:00.40 at Churchill Downs Sunday morning. “[It was a] solid work. The racetrack is in very good shape,” said trainer Steve Asmussen, who won the 2007 and 2009 Preakness with Horses of the Year Curlin and the filly Rachel Alexandra. “I think he'll actually do a little more next week.” Asmussen also trains Kentucky Derby contenders Publisher (American Pharoah) and Tiztastic (Tiz the Law) in addition to Magnitude (Not This Time), winner of the GII Risen Star Stakes. The latter was forced to miss the Run for the Roses following his win in the GII Risen Star Stakes. “I think Clever Again is like Publisher and Magnitude and Tiztastic,” Asmussen said. “He's been keeping that company his whole life. When you're afforded the opportunity to train horses like that you realize what they are capable of and what they should and shouldn't go in.” Clever Again, runner-up going 4 1/2 furlongs in his career debut at Keeneland last fall, graduated in his 3-year-old bow going 1 1/16 miles in an Oaklawn Feb. 23. Trying a two-turn mile for the first time in the Hot Springs, the colt won by four lengths over Grade I winner Gaming (Game Winner). “I think the farther he goes, the better he'll be,” Asmussen said. “He's very quick, but he has a tremendous cruising speed. I don't think we've been anywhere near the bottom of him. He ran a very fast race at a mile and a sixteenth. Don't think the distance will be any issue.” Clever Again has the same ownership combination as GII Louisiana Derby winner Tiztastic, with Winchell Thoroughbreds owning 50% and the other half owned by the partnership of Mrs. John Magnier Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith. “Off of the Hot Springs and the number that he ran and beating a Grade I winner in there, it was easy to make a decision on what would be next for him,” Asmussen said of Clever Again and the 1 3/16-mile Preakness.

Trainer Jimmy Jerkens, a long-time New York based trainer before embarking on a two-year stint in Saudi Arabia, will oversee a fledgling New York-based string for Kenny McPeek, according to the Kentucky-based conditioner who announced the collaboration on X Sunday afternoon. “Jimmy Jerkens is going to be anchoring a New York division for me, starting this week,” confirmed McPeek. He explained, “I am based in Kentucky, and I have family here and my history has been with yearlings, working yearling sales, I have been fortunate enough to build my racing with yearling auctions and working with a lot of people over the decades. This will offer me more time to stay in Kentucky with less worries about a New York division. Jimmy is such a world-class horseman that I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with him.” Jerkens, who announced his decision to leave the U.S. for Saudi Arabia in the spring of 2023, heralded his return early this season. “He just transitioned back from Saudi Arabia after several years there. I'm sure he had an opportunity to rebuild his stable, but at the same time, we needed somebody who was going to be there for the new construction of Belmont Park,” said McPeek. “With the new grandstand and everything that is happening at Belmont Park, we really want to be there with a firm division of horses and with someone we can trust to be on top of things, and Jimmy is that guy.” McPeek enjoyed a banner season in 2024, winning both the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks in addition to being named an Eclipse Award finalist as the nation's leading trainer. “I am a little bit tentative in that I started as a little trainer, and this is a big-trainer move, but we are fortunate that we have this great base of clientele that will let us go to the yearling sales in the season and we can't runt hem all in one place,” he admitted. “I am lucky because I have people including Harold Lerner who are based in New York that are really excited about Jimmy helping us in this new collaboration.” The post McPeek, Jerkens Embark on a New ‘Collaboration’ in New York appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
