River Thames (Macleans's Music), who was most recently third in the GI Blue Grass Stakes, will not go in the GI Kentucky Derby and will instead use the extra two weeks off to prepare for the GI Preakness Stakes. The story was first reported by the Daily Racing Form's David Grening. “We just felt like the Preakness gave him a little more time and it felt like that was a better spot,” said Elliott Walden, the president of WinStar Farm, which co-owns the colt along with the China Horse Club. “I think it was the right decision for the horse and that's what we try to do.” Walden is bullish on the colt's chances in the Preakness. “I feel good about his chances in the Preakness,” he said. “We've seen horses that skip the Derby run very well in the Preakness. Not all of them. Usually, the Derby winner runs well in the Preakness, as well. But there are a lot of horses that skip the Preakness after they run in the Derby. We think he'll have a good shot.” With the defection, trainer Todd Pletcher will have just one starter in this year's Derby, GII Wood Memorial runner-up Grande (Curlin). The WinStar-China Horse Club team will be represented by GI Florida Derby winner Tappan Street (Into Mischief) The defection of River Thames means that Built (Hard Spun) has moved into 20th place in the point standings. His connections have yet to confirm that they will start in the Derby.

Umberto Rispoli has been riding in the U.S. for less than five years and the Italian-born talent has had to, among other things, convince trainers he could win on not only the turf but the dirt and that he belonged in one of the stronger riding colonies in the sport. It didn't take Rispoli long to establish himself as one of the best riders in California and now top trainers are after his services. Michael McCarthy belongs on the list has he has given the assignment to the 31-year-old jockey on GI Kentucky Derby favorite and GI Santa Anita Derby winner Journalism (Curlin). It will be Rispoli's third Derby mount. Rispoli joined this week's TDN Writers' Room Podcast presented by Keeneland to talk about the Derby and how he has established himself as one of the best jockeys in the country in such a short period of time, Rispoli was this week's Gainesway Guest of the Week. Rispoli admitted he didn't have a good trip when wining the Santa Anita Derby, the race that solidified Journalism's status at the Derby favorite. “Well, not really,” he answered when asked if that was the trip he was expecting. “Obviously, as I already said in my other interview, I wish I could have drawn wide. But it seems that when we saw the draw, we knew that it was supposed to be a dogfight. So I'm happy then. The good thing is when you ride a brave horse like him, an intelligent horse like him, things can change and they could put you in a better spot. I've been saying that for the last six months; he's improving race by race. Definitely going to the half-mile pole, I knew that this wasn't the trip I wanted and I had to figure it out how to get out from the rail. It wasn't easy, but as I said, we got it done.” That Rispoli could win the Kentucky Derby is something that hasn't sunken in yet. He's more worried about his next mount. “I'm extremely, extremely happy, excited,” he said. “Honestly, Joe Talamo interviewed me the other day and he asked me,' how do you feel right now?' I said, 'listen, so far I have just been focused about the rides I have right now because, you know, it would be disrespectful just to focus your mind like three weeks from now to Churchill Down and not be focused about what happened race by race right now.” He know he'll start feeling differently as the Derby draws nearer. “I just feel happy because I have found a great horse in my life,” Rispoli said. “He is the best dirt horse I've ever ridden. No doubt about it. I know I've only been riding on the dirt in the U.S. for a short time. But I've had some experience in Japan, in Hong Kong, in Italy, where we have dirt racing, but it's obviously not as good as American races. I'm happy, I'm calm, I'm relaxed, I'm quiet. The adrenaline is gonna come in. You can't hide this.” He respects McCarthy because he knows he's all business. “Michael goes to the work, he doesn't care about anybody,” Rispoli said. “He wakes up in the morning and he knows that he has to do that job from that time, from five o'clock in the morning until 11, 10:30, until the time he's leaving the barn. It's all about work. But out of that, he's one of the funniest person I've ever met in my life. He has his own sense of humor. We understand each other a lot. Don't take me wrong, we clash sometimes, but I think this is why we work so well together. Our relationship is good, because I work a lot of horses for him, and I like to tell him the truth. Sometimes when I think a horse doesn't work well, I feel then I have to tell him the truth. It's not that I'm always right. But you know, we like to share the opinion and we have one thing in common. We want to really win races. We're really hungry for it. So it's good to have a relationship with the trainer who supports you like that and gives you full confidence. In our “Fastest Horse of the Week,” segment, which is sponsored by WinStar, we went over the many reasons there are breed to WinStar stallion Timberlake. The fastest horse of the week was Skelly (Practical Joke), who won an allowance race at Oaklawn, earning a figure of 107. Elsewhere on the podcast, which is also sponsored by the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders' Association, West Point Thoroughbreds, the KTOB, 1/ST Racing and 1/ST TV, the team of Randy Moss and Zoe Cadman took a look at last week's big performances by Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) Carl Spackler (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire]) and Choisya (GB) (Night of Thunder ({Ire}). They also talked about the improving business numbers at Santa Anita and the two foreign horses aiming for the Derby, Luxor Café (American Pharoah) and Admire Daytona (JPN) (Drefong).

The connections of Baeza (McKinzie) have had a change of heart and will ship him to Churchill Downs after all. Though some believe Baeza, the runner-up in the GI Santa Anita Derby, is among the best 3-year-olds in the sport, he has only 37 1/5 Derby points. That puts him at 23rd on the list. Only 20 horses can start in the race. Had this been last year, Baeza would have made it in no problem. His second-place finish in the Santa Anita Derby would have earned him 50 points, which, this year, would have tied him for 15h place. But this year, Churchill reduced the number of points awarded in any prep race that had fewer than six horse. There were five in the Santa Anita Derby, including the maiden Westwood (Authentic), who Shirreffs put in the race to guarantee that the points allotment didn't get even smaller. “There was a little change of mind,” Shirreffs said. “You know how rumors are on the racetrack…but from some of the rumors we've been hearing it seems like there is a possibility that he will get in. We are making arrangements now to go. If he doesn't get in, I don't know what we will do but we are optimistic he will make it in. Obviously, there's the Preakness a couple weeks away, so we'd probably go there.” Baeza is highly regarded for a number of reasons. He is a half-brother to 2023 Derby winner Mage (Good Magic) and 2024 GI Belmont S. winner Dornoch (Good Magic). Not as precocious as his famous siblings, he took three starts to break his maiden. From there Shirreffs put him in the Santa Anita Derby, where he finished second, losing by only three-quarters of a length to Kentucky Derby favorite Journalism (Curlin). That he is seemingly getting better with every race bodes well for him in the Derby, that is if he gets in the race. Many consider him a serious threat to win. “He's night and day difference from when he first ran,” Shirreffs said. “He's a lot different. He's more tactical. When he first ran, he didn't know anything about it and he didn't show the kind of speed that he has. Now he's become a lot more practical and he more understands about the company in the race. He's good around other horses now.” Shirreffs said he was disappointed that Churchill Downs changed the point system for this year, but knows there's nothing he can do about it. “It's too bad,” he said. “The year we had Honor A.P. was the Covid year and this year they adjusted the point system,” he said. “I know what they were trying to do, but in this particular instance the point system wasn't good at all. But I don't make those decisions ad nobody asked my opinion. So to worry about it is waste of energy.

Bloodstock agent Donato Lanni, bidding alongside trainer Bob Baffert, went to $900,000 to acquire a filly by Curlin (hip 190) on behalf of Susan and Charlie Chu's Baoma Corp during Tuesday's first session of the OBS Spring sale. Bred by Klaravich Stables and consigned by de Meric Sales, the bay filly is out of stakes-placed Motivated Seller (Into Mischief). She worked a furlong in last week's under-tack show in :9 4/5.

A son of the late Acclamation (GB) and the Exceed And Excel (Aus) mare Blue Willow (GB) was the first lot to reach seven figures when knocked down to Anthony Stroud on behalf of Godolphin for 1.4 million gns. Consigned by Mocklershill, lot 17 is a from the same family as G3 Park Express Stakes winner Oh Goodness Me (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), and listed winner Eradicate (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), who was placed in the G3 Prix Gontaut-Biron. A half-sister to Blue Willow, the stakes-placed Authorized (Ire) mare Colima (Ire) produced a pair of stakes winners including multiple group winner and G1 Metropolitan runner-up Brimham Rocks (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}). Bred by Corduff Stud, the colt was picked up for €70,000 by JB Bloodstock out of the first book of the Goffs Orby Yearling Sale last autumn. Just a few lots earlier, Godolphin had shelled out 650,000gns for a son of Havana Grey (GB), lot 5. The son of All Back To Mine (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) was consigned by Bansha House Stables. Con Marnane's operation picked up the Abingdon and Witney College-bred for €46,000 out of the Goffs February Sale in 2024. However, he was a 50,000gns buy-back during the 2024 Tattersalls Somerville Sale last autumn.

The equestrian portion of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will be conducted at Santa Anita Park. The decision brings a sense of continuity to the Olympics, as the track also hosted the equestrian disciplines when the event was last in Los Angeles, in 1984. The decision also caught many off guard. The Los Angeles City Council voted in March to approve the sprawling Galway Downs equestrian facility, nearly 100 miles south of LA, as the appropriate venue. But according to the LA Times, Galway Downs was taken out of consideration a day after LA28, the organizing committee for the games, received approval for its master plan by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in a closed-door session on April 9. The announcement about Santa Anita came as part of broader unveiling Tuesday of different venues for the various sporting disciplines. “The 2028 Olympics will be held July 14-30, at a time when Santa Anita Park is traditionally closed for racing and training,” said Nate Newby, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Santa Anita, when asked about possible disruptions to the regular horse population. “Our goal as we work with the LA28 team over the coming months and years is to minimize any potential disruption to racing operations while maximizing exposure for Santa Anita Park.” “The return of the Summer Olympic Games in 2028 represents a thrilling and prestigious moment, underscoring Santa Anita Park's versatility as a world-class sport and entertainment venue, and as a vital pillar of Southern California's horse sport culture,” Newby continued. “We are excited by the opportunity to again showcase SAP on a global scale. We will be able to share more details as event plans are finalized.” “The 2028 Olympic venue plan invites communities from across the region to celebrate the Games coming to their backyard with the most exciting sports staged at some of the world's top-tier existing stadiums and arenas, famous beaches and purpose-built temporary structures,” said LA28 chief executive officer Reynold Hoover, in a statement. “As we come together to prepare, we will help small businesses, create local jobs and implement lasting environmental and transportation improvements that will leave a legacy in our city for generations to come,” said LA City Mayor Karen Bass.

Attorneys for former New York Racing Association head starter Hector Soler have filed suit against NYRA in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, alleging discrimination, retaliation in the workplace, and misclassification as an employee exempt from earning overtime. The suit was filed Tuesday by attorneys Nadia Prevez, Aneeba Rehman, and Andrew Mollica, and seeks compensatory damages, back pay, and punitive damages. Soler worked at NYRA for 25 years, starting as a part-time assistant starter and working his way up to the role of head starter in 2020. The suits says that he was the first-ever Hispanic or Puerto Rican head starter in the company's history. “Despite attaining a reputation as one of the preeminent starters in New York horse racing, Mr. Soler faced unlawful discrimination and retaliation in the workplace (and) was mis-classified as an exempt employee who was ineligible for overtime, when in fact, his duties were manual in nature and he routinely worked over 40 hours in a given work week.” The suit says that Soler typically worked 52.5 to 62.5 hours per week and should have been due time and a half for the overtime. The suit charges that in addition to violating the Fair Labor Standards Act, under which he was due overtime pay, NYRA fired him after he filed for workmen's compensation after being injured in the starting gate at Saratoga in 2024. Prior to that incident, the suit says that Soler had suffered a dislocated shoulder which required surgical intervention; had torn his right hip; suffered abrasions to his L4 and L5 vertebrae; shattered his right elbow, requiring surgery, which led to permanent nerve damage; broke his index finger; suffered nerve damage when he was kicked in the head by a horse; tore his ACL, requiring a total replacement; and finally, on August 4, 2024, injured his meniscus, leading to a complete transplant. The suit alleges that Soler's direct supervisor, Juan Dominguez, was notified about the injury and asked him to continue working despite it, because no one else could replace him. Soler sought medical attention and was given a cortisone injection and prescribed pain medication, but on Sept. 11, 2024, took protected medical leave and eventually filed a workers compensation claim. The suit goes on to allege that on Dec. 8, while he was still on leave, he received a his first-ever negative performance review. The suit claims that NYRA began looking for Soler's replacement while he was still on leave, seeking to replace him with a white male. Soler was fired on March 2, 2025. “The complaint speaks for itself,” said Mollica. “Hector Soler was an exemplary, beloved employee with a spectacular record of employment. He worked through numerous injuries and literally left body parts on the field to do his job in an outstanding manner. We are fully prepared to litigate every aspect of this matter, but, of course, remain hopeful that a resolution can be achieved.” Patrick McKenna, NYRA's Vice President of Communications, said that NYRA would decline comment on the matter.

On a crisp Tuesday morning at Churchill Downs, Kentucky Derby 151 contenders Coal Battle (Coal Front) and Sandman (Tapit) turned in published workouts. Sandman, winner of the GI Arkansas Derby for D.J. Stable, St. Elias Stable, West Point Thoroughbreds and CJ Stables, breezed at 7:15 a.m. (all time Eastern) with trainer Mark Casse's longtime exercise rider Froylan Garcia in the irons. The grey began his work with eighth-mile splits of :13.60 and :26.40 before registering an official final time of :49.60 for four furlongs. The colt galloped out five furlongs in 1:01.80 and six furlongs in 1:15, according to Churchill Downs clocker John Nichols. “It looked perfect,” Casse said from his Ocala, Fla. base. “I asked the rider to go between :49 and :50 [seconds] and he did just that.” Casse's local assistant, Allen Hardy, was on-site for the workout. “That's Froy for you–always doing exactly what you ask,” Hardy said. “He's a great horseman and rider. “I think we saw in the Arkansas Derby that when Sandman got to stretch his legs going further in distance, it was much better. We're going to do our best to keep him happy and healthy while enjoying the ride he's taking us on.” Shortly after Sandman completed his move, Norman Stables' Coal Battle breezed under assistant trainer Bethany Taylor. The duo worked eighth-mile splits of :12.20, :23.80 and :36.40, according to Churchill Downs clocker Adam Wallace. In related Derby news, trainer Brad Cox reported that GI Florida Derby winner Tappan Street (Into Mischief) will have one more workout at Payson Park in South Florida before vanning to Churchill Downs for his final move beneath the Twin Spires. Training hours at Churchill Downs remain 5:30-10 a.m. with renovation breaks from 6:45-7:15 a.m. and 8:30-9 a.m. Beginning Friday, training will shift to 5:15-10 a.m., with a special 7:15-7:30 a.m. window designated exclusively for Kentucky Derby and Oaks contenders.

One of the choicest-bred horses running on the opening day of Newmarket's Craven meeting, Godolphin's Victory Queen (GB) (Kingman {GB}) made her class tell first time in the fillies' mile maiden. Sent off at 10-3, the Charlie Appleby-trained half-sister to the 2,000 Guineas and G1 St James's Palace Stakes hero Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) raced freely towards the front end from the outset. Committed by William Buick running down into the dip, the homebred asserted to score by a fast-diminishing half-length margin from Zgharta (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}).

Juddmonte already had live contenders for the European Classics before Zanzoun (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) added her name to the list in Tuesday's G3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket. Always travelling strongly under the patient tactics employed by Kieran Shoemark, the John and Thady Gosden-trained Southwell maiden winner rolled down the hill and to the fore before outstaying Celestial Orbit (GB) (No Nay Never) for a 1 3/4-length success. Remaat (GB) (Kodiac {GB}) was a further half a length away in third. “She enjoyed the ground, settled early which was pleasing and travelled very well,” John Gosden said of the 9-1 shot, whose dam Franconia (GB) (Frankel {GB}) was a listed winner for this stable and a half to the G1 Nassau Stakes heroine Winsili (GB) (Dansili {GB}). “She likes to get her toe in, so we'll always be looking for this kind of ground for her. Her mother was a nice filly who stayed a mile and a quarter, but I think a mile is going to be this one's limit. I think she's more one for France [for the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches] than the 1,000 Guineas.” Zanzoun lands the Nell Gwyn for team Gosden pic.twitter.com/UDrAvGdBTH — Racing TV (@RacingTV) April 15, 2025 Tuesday, Newmarket, Britain LANWADES STUD NELL GWYN STAKES-G3, £85,000, Newmarket, 4-15, 3yo, f, 7fT, 1:29.22, g/s. 1–ZANZOUN (GB), 128, f, 3, by Dubawi (Ire) 1st Dam: Franconia (GB) (MSW-Eng), by Frankel (GB) 2nd Dam: Winter Sunrise (GB), by Pivotal (GB) 3rd Dam: Winter Solstice (GB), by Unfuwain 1ST BLACK-TYPE WIN; 1ST GROUP WIN.

Leading sire Snitzel (Aus) will stand for an unchanged fee of A$247,500, Arrowfield Stud announced on Tuesday. Responsible for his third G1 Golden Slipper winner and his career-best yearling sale results, the multiple champion sire already has 16 stakes winners this season. This year alone, he has sired Group 1 winners Lady Shenandoah (Aus), Marhoona (Aus), Return To Conquer (Aus) and Switzerland (Aus), while his total yearling sales have reached A$45.2 million, with 11 seven-figure yearlings. Also standing at Arrowfield for unchanged fees are Group 1 sires Dundeel (NZ) at A$88,000, The Autumn Sun (Aus) at A$66,000, and Maurice (Jpn) at A$55,000. Third-year sire Hitotsu (Aus)'s fee is also static at A$22,000. The first-named has sired eight stakes winners this season and his overall tally of top-level winners is eight, among them Castelvecchio (Aus), who stands for an increased fee of A$49,500. Dundeel's Inglis Easter average was A$414,000. Castelvecchio has sired first-crop Group 1 winners El Castello (Aus) and Aeliana (Aus), besides three more stakes winners. Maurice's Inglis Easter yearling average was A$503,000 for 10 sold, with his first seven-figure Australian yearling, an A$1.4 million filly out of Shoals (Aus). The Autumn Sun had an A$340,000 Inglis Easter average and Arrowfield's new recruit Vandeek (GB) will stand his first season for A$22,000. Admire Mars (Jpn), a former roster member, will not shuttle from Japan this year. He is the sire of Sunday's G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) heroine Embroidery (Jpn). Arrowfield chairman John Messara said, “Our unrelenting commitment to quality has helped to generate exceptional results for breeders, vendors & owners this season. “Those results, from only five stallions, include 38 stakes winners, seven Group 1 winners, more than A$50 million [in] prize-money and an average yearling sale price of A$316,000.” “Our young sires Hitotsu, a history-making 3-year-old, and Vandeek, a dual Group 1 winner at two, offer complementary opportunities to breeders and are both sharply priced.” The post Snitzel’s Fee Unchanged at A$247,500 as Arrowfield Unveils Roster appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Richard Hannon trainee Persica (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), who retains an entry in next month's G1 Lockinge Stakes, continued on the upgrade with a first pattern-race triumph in Tuesday's G3 bet365 Earl Of Sefton Stakes at Newmarket. Last term's Listed Doonside Cup victor, who hit the board in February's G3 Winter Derby when last seen, was positioned in second for most of this nine-furlong contest. Relishing the rain-softened ground, the 3-1 chance loomed large going ominously well approaching the quarter-mile marker and powered clear up the hill to account for Godolphin duo Ottoman Fleet (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and First Conquest (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}) by 2 1/2 lengths and the same. Last year's G1 Derby and G1 Irish Derby placegetter Ambiente Friendly (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) attempted to make all, but lacked the fitness edge of his rivals and finished 1 1/4 lengths adrift in fourth. Pedigree Notes Persica is the first of three live foals and one of two winners from as many runners produced by New Zealand's Listed Champagne Stakes victrix Rubira (Aus) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), herself out of a winning half-sister to Listed Lenebane Stakes winner Royal Intrigue (Ire) (Royal Applause {GB}). Royal Intrigue is also kin to the dam of G1 South African Cape Guineas-winning sire Noordhoek Flyer (SAf) (Pivotal {GB}). Perica's fourth dam Congress (Ire) (Dancing Brave) is a full-sister to G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest and G1 Haydock Sprint Cup heroine Cherokee Rose (Ire).

Kirsten Rausing homebred Almeric (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}) is bound for a Classic campaign after registering a career best on seasonal return in Tuesday's Listed bet365 Feilden Stakes at Newmarket. The G2 Dante Stakes and G1 Irish Derby entry, who bettered a debut fourth at Sandown in September with a breakthrough score at York the following month, employed hold-up tactics and raced seventh of the eight runners through the initial fractions of this black-type debut. Taking closer order once past halfway, the 11-4 favourite's momentum carried him to the front approaching the final furlong and he was driven out in the latter stages to defeat King Of Cities (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) by a length. The runner-up was 7 1/2 lengths clear of third-place finisher Nightwalker (GB) (Frankel {GB}). Trainer Andrew Balding said after the race that the Prix du Jockey Club is an option for the colt after the Dante Stakes at York. “He's a smart horse and we were pretty hopeful going into today,” he said. “He seems to be at home on slow ground and it's great for Miss Rausing as he's obviously a homebred and a lovely horse going forward. “Oisin said he was just getting tired at the end as they went very hard and he was probably running on fumes a little bit, just because it was a searching gallop and it was his first run of the year. “He's got a French Derby entry I think and certainly an Irish Derby entry and a German Derby entry. We're delighted to win today and we'll just have to see how things pan out. “I think the likelihood is we'll look at York and France would be the preferred option, I think.” Owner-breeder Kirsten Rausing told TDN that Almeric's dam Alvarita (GB) (Selkirk) foaled a full-sister to the Feilden winner last Monday. She said, “The mare has a two-year-old colt, so he was her foal of 2023, and we thought she'd done enough so she went into retirement with her half-sister Alta Moda. They are by Selkirk and Sadler's Wells out of Alborada. “But in the spring of 2024 those two old girls looked wonderful and I said to Alastair [Watson, Lanwades manager], 'Let's just walk past with Study Of Man'. So anyway, he walked past them once each and they were both in foal. All winter long I was beset with a guilty conscience, but they both laid down to foal and within a week of each other they both had lovely fillies. “They are now 21 and 23 – Alvarita is 23 and she has produced a tiptop full-sister to this horse. But I am keeping my promise this time: I am not going to ask them again, for sure.” Pedigree Notes Almeric is the 13th of 15 foals and third black-type scorer out of Listed Prix Petite Etoile victrix Alvarita (GB) (Selkirk), herself a daughter of dual G1 Champion Stakes heroine Alborada (GB) (Alzao). The April-foaled grey is full to a 2-year-old colt and a weanling filly. He is also a half-brother to G3 Kilternan Stakes winner Alla Speranza (GB) (Sir Percy {GB}), Listed Noblesse Stakes victrix and G3 Give Thanks Stakes runner-up Altesse (GB) (Hernando {Fr}). Alla Speranza, in turn, is the dam of G2 City Of York Stakes victor Shone So Bright (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), the Group 3-placed Alla Stella (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}) and Listed Prix Petite Etoile third Amboseli (GB) (Kingman {GB}). Almeric's dam is also tyhe second dam of the dual Group 1-placed Listed Buckhounds Stakes victrix Albaflora (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}), G2 Park Hill Stakes winner Alyssa (GB) (Sir Percy {GB}) and G3 Prix Thomas Bryon victrix Alea Iacta (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}).

Hugo Palmer did not disguise his pleasure following a Rowley Mile racecourse gallop for his 2,000 Guineas contender Seagulls Eleven (Ire), whose sire Galileo Gold (GB) was the trainer's first Classic winner in the same race nine years ago. Declaring himself “thrilled” after a debrief with Seagulls Eleven's rider Oisin Murphy, Palmer said, “One of the things that's new in my life, having moved [from Newmarket], is that I've had to get used to the fact that we've only got one gallop. Young horses, when you start working them, will work impressively once or twice, but then they realise that their feed's going to be in their manger whether they go five inches clear or five lengths clear. That's something that's taken me three years to accept.” He continued, “It is very nice, therefore, when you take a horse away to see them open up and go clear – as he should do as he's a 112-rated three-year-old with a 77-rated handicapper – but we think the handicapper is a fair horse who always works well at home.” Seagulls Eleven, who won a Haydock novice contest last year before finishing second in the G2 Superlative Stakes and then third and fourth respectively in the G1 National and G1 Dewhurst Stakes, is named in honour of Brighton & Hove Albion FC, with his ownership group consisting of Brighton players past and present. Palmer added, “The ground was a bit soft in the Dewhurst and it was probably a bit on the soft side for him there but I haven't seen a horse of mine look like that going up the hill on the Rowley Mile since his dad worked here nine years ago. I haven't watched a horse work there and got the same buzz since then.” On hand to watch the gallop was one of the horse's owners, Brighton's reserve goalkeeper Jason Steele. “I've followed racehorses since I was a kid and I've always enjoyed it but when James Milner joined the club he twisted a few of the lads' arms to part with some money and everything that James dips his hand in turns to gold,” he said. “We're all really involved and intrigued. We're always asking questions and it's something different for us as we're so involved every day with our job but we have an elite mentality so we are always asking about how to get better, what are they doing and how they are training, what they're looking like and thinking. That transfers into different sports but it's been an amazing journey so far.” Guineas contender Seagulls Eleven after his workout | Emma Berry Steele continued, “We're going to miss the Guineas because we're playing Newcastle on the Sunday but we'll all be together watching it, and the lads who aren't with us now at Brighton will be with us on FaceTime watching it. It was amazing to come here today to see him work. He looked really good and everybody is pleased.” Taking to the track after Seagulls Eleven was Flight (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), also ridden by Murphy, who heads to the 1,000 Guineas for breeders David Howden and Nick Wheeler of Cornthorp Bloodstock. Her trainer Ollie Sangster said, “That was smooth. She's in good shape and has been training nicely at home. We felt that bringing her to Newmarket, although she ran here last year, would be beneficial again. “Oisin felt she was in a good place. We didn't need to see fireworks but we were happy with what we saw.” “Her pedigree suggests she will be one to keep improving and we feel like she has.” Flight, who was third in the G2 May Hill Stakes, is the first foal of the Amaron (GB) mare Run Wild (Ger), the impressive winner of the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket in 2020.

Ciaron Maher is backing in Jimmysstar (NZ) (Per Incanto) to settle closer in the run in Saturday’s Gr.1 All Aged Stakes (1400m), which he feels can make all the difference in securing a second elite-level title this campaign. The Oakleigh Plate winner, who is $4.50 second favourite with Sportsbet, will stretch beyond 1200 metres for the first time this preparation, which should also assist the fast finisher to be within striking range after his fourth placing in the Gr.1 T.J. Smith Stakes at his most recent start. “1400 metres he should land a little bit closer,” Maher explained. “He sort of muffed the start a little bit the other day, he had his head down when the gates opened, so I think he would have landed a bit closer if he had jumped with them.” Maher said no decision has been made as to whether the son of Per Incanto pushes on to a Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap after this weekend. “There is always that lure, but it would depend on how he goes … up north is also a handicap race,” he said. “His sectionals were blistering the other day, I think he ended up running home quicker than he did in the Oakleigh Plate. “Any of those Gr.1s are hard to win but he seems to have gone to another level this preparation and his form has been consistent and the 1400 metres should suit him down to the ground.” Maher is set to have a four-pronged attack in the $300,000 Listed Mornington Cup (2400m) on Saturday – a race he won two years ago with Right You Are. Last-start placegetters Night Endeavour and Berkshire Breeze lead the stable’s hopes, with Smokin’ Romans and Strawberry Rock looking to bounce back to form. “The race set up well for him last start and up to the mile-and-a-half you sense he’s building towards something,” Maher said of Easter Cup placegetter Night Endeavour. “The owners have had to be patient, he come off a couple of injuries and he’s definitely going the right way. “Berkshire Breeze was super last start but (Phillip) Stokes’ (Deakin) horse was going equally as well unfortunately, but very happy with him and he’ll be hard to beat. “Smokin’ Romans needs to improve a little bit but he can mix his form a little. “Strawberry Rock has had a bit of a freshen, but trialled well and a-mile-and-half, he too can mix his form but he seems in a good spot.” View the full article

Aidan O'Brien will be attempting to repeat the success of Merchant Navy (Aus) seven years ago as he primes fellow Australian import Storm Boy (Aus) for an assault on Royal Ascot. The son of Justify won his first four starts at two for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, including the G2 Skyline Stakes over 1,200 metres, and was later third, beaten just over a length, in Australia's premier juvenile contest, the G1 Golden Slipper. As a three-year-old he added the G3 San Domenico Stakes to his list of five wins in 10 starts before making the trip north to join the Ballydoyle team in December. During a media morning on Monday, O'Brien said that he will follow the same route to the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (known as the Diamond Jubilee Stakes when won by Merchant Navy) with a warm-up in the G2 Greenlands Stakes. “The plan is to go to the Curragh on Guineas weekend for the six-furlong race and then if all goes well he will go to Ascot for the six-furlong race,” he said. “We think he's fast. Before he came I wasn't sure whether he was six furlongs, seven furlongs or a miler, but he's fast, so we think he's a six-furlong horse.” As a Southern Hemisphere three-year-old, Storm Boy will be regarded as a four-year-old this summer in Europe.

By Michael Guerin One of New Zealand’s most famous sets of racing colours could be coming to a harness racing track near you next season. But first Waikato Stud owner Mark Chittick will have to get a bigger set made. (Photo courtesy of Trish Dunell) Chittick, the man who owns the giant thoroughbred breeding operation, has bought his first harness horse, outlaying $50,000 for a Tactical Landing filly out of Queen Bea, an unraced sister to Queen Elida. And he wants it wearing his famous colours, the same ones his recently-retired champion I Wish I Win wore when winning races like the Golden Eagle. “It came about through a good mate and client of ours Tony Barron,” explains Chittick. “He has had [thoroughbred] broodmares here for ages and we have become good mates. “We discussed me getting a harness horse because, after all, Super Rugby only runs six months a year and I want something to watch on Friday nights the rest of the time. “Tony was looking for a while but he had this filly pass in and rang me and suggested she would be ideal. So we are in. “We want to race her in the Waikato Stud colours but we realise the harness drivers might be a bit big for the jockey’s colours so we will have to get a new set made.” Chittick has even named his filly, calling her On The Throne, typical from a man who conducts his breeding business at the highest levels but always with a smile on his face. “They questioned the name but I told them everything from the family has Queen or something like that in their name so they gave it to us. “I am really looking forward to following her, it will be a lot of fun and different from our gallopers because it will all be new, whereas with the horses we breed we are far more invested mentally.” Barron is stoked to get his mate into the filly who went through the ring in Christchurch as Lot 185 and says On The Throne has broken in beautifully. “I love having gallopers at Waikato Stud as well as the ones I have racing so hopefully we can repay the favour to Mark with this filly. “There are a lot of cross coders around, some that people wouldn’t realise, and it can only be good for the industry.” When the Waikato Stud colours eventually roll on to a harness track here they will join some of New Zealand’s most famous thoroughbred colours with Pencarrow (Sir Peter Vela), Tommy Heptinstall (owner of Jolimont) and most regularly Graeme Rogerson of course just some of the major thoroughbred names having harness horses race in their colours recently.

By Michael Guerin Chase A Dream is not only back but Queensland-bound. The big improver of the last month, winning the Flying Mile at Cambridge before chasing Leap To Fame home in the Race By Betcha, has accepted an invitation to the Rising Sun at Albion Park in July 5. Co-trainer Mark Purdon hopes that four-year-old can win the A$300,000 Rising Sun to springboard himself into the A$1million Inter Dominion Final two weeks later without needing to contest any of the Inter Dom heats. If Chase A Dream, or any other four-year-old, wins the Rising Sun and want to race in the Inter Dom Final they still have to contest the Kevin Thomas Four-Year-Old in July 12 so they, like the Interdom horses, compete on three consecutive Saturdays. “We are thrilled to get the invite and are definitely going,” says Purdon. “We will take him for the Rising Sun and hopefully into the Inters while Oscar [Bonavena] will go over for the Inter Trot series. “And we will take Rubira for the Queensland Derby.” Chase A Dream worked well on Wednesday morning and is on target for the Messenger at Alexandra Park on Friday week and will then head to what Mark calls “Dad’s race”, the $100,000 Roy Purdon Memorial on May 2. Oscar Bonavena will head to both meetings for the Anzac Cup and Rowe Cups but Rubira will miss next week’s Northern Derby. “He had that slight track accident so he won’t be ready for that and can get ready for Queensland.” Knowing that Purdon and son Nathan will be bringing three reps to the carnival will be a great relief to Albion Park officials as the strength of the locals threatened to scare most of the Kiwis away, especially after the news on Tuesday night that Merlin will miss the carnival and head for a spell. Chase A Dream was quickly promoted to $3.50 favourite for the Rising Sun after the news of his invitation broke on Tuesday. View the full article

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk A eight hectare property in harness racing heartland is currently on the market. Located in Canterbury, between Rolleston and West Melton, the property featuring an oval training track will go to auction in early May. For “coming up four years” it’s been home for dual code trainer Jackie Burrows and her family. “It’s a niche property .. but it has so much potential,” she says. The property, on Newtons Road, includes a four bedroom house, two cottages, bar room with guest facilities, including bedroom, bathroom and kitchen and a one bedroom portacom as well as a 760m oval sand training track, a 60m x 40m all-weather sand arena with four adjoining day yards, a stable block, two walk-in, walk-out yards and 19 additional paddocks. “It is subdividable but if you do that you lose the track,” says Burrows. “It was only listed last Friday and there’s been some interest already, even some from overseas.” Burrows has been training standardbreds on and off since 2002, with Vrilo her best performer of late with three wins in 2024. Very much a hobby trainer, Burrows is also the chief executive of He Waka Tapu, a Kaupapa Māori organisation that runs a range of community-based programmes and services. It has offices in Christchurch, Ashburton and the Chatham Islands. Born in the King Country, Burrows was brought up on Chatham Islands before moving to the mainland as a teenager. The Burrows have now decided to sell the Canterbury property as part of a “lifestyle change”. “My husband George and I have signed a 3-year lease with extension option of another 6 years on the Chatham Island Hotel. It’s a big commitment – there are 55 rooms, a pub and a rental car business as well as tours coming over from the Mainland (NZ), most weeks in the spring and summer seasons.” She will continue at He Waka Tapu and estimates she’ll divide her time between Canterbury and the Chathams about “half and half”. And that means her days as a hobby horse trainer are all but over. “I will keep my hand in, I have a few horses on the island already but I won’t be training anymore.” All going well the Burrows plan to relocate in early August. AUCTION: Thursday May 8, 2025 from 11:00am Harcourts Grenadier 98 Moorhouse Avenue (Unless Sold Prior) To view the listing click here View the full article
