Wandering Eyes

by Mike Love Russley trainer Laura McKay will be hoping her charge Birdy ($1.85FF) brings their manners in race one the Seahorse Supplements Trot over 2000m at Addington today with driver Blair Orange. The four year old Royal Aspirations mare will be having start three in her career, and trainer McKay says she has learnt a lot with each outing to date. “She’s come through that last run really well. She seems pretty bright,” said McKay. “She just has to trot the whole way.” After a faultless debut running second being the talented Snooowgood, Birdy then backed up with a fourth after making a mistake at the beginning of the race. “We’d rather draw a bit wider, but her manners are usually pretty good. I have faith that she’ll go away.” If Birdy does things right, McKay is confident she will be hard to beat. “She’s good enough to do work if she has to, she has some speed to, she’s pretty versatile.” “I’d just like to see her trot away and then I think she’ll be pretty hard to beat.” While McKay will be chasing her fourth win of the season in what has already become her most successful with limited starters, driver Blair Orange will be looking to extend his lead in the driving premiership. Already sitting on 106 wins, 35 wins ahead of Tim Williams, Orange looks the driver to follow for the day with seven strong drives throughout the card; Race 1 – Birdy ($1.85FF) Race 2 – Archer ($4.60FF) Race 4 – Mode ($2.70FF) Race 5 – Kalatra ($4.80FF) Race 6 – Captain Joan ($4.80FF) Race 7 – Aldebaran Crystal ($4.80FF) Race 8 – Miracle Memphis ($4.40FF) The eight race card gets underway at 1:13pm.

A few hours after Segesta (Ghostzapper) provided trainer Chad Brown with record ninth victory in the GIII WinStar Matchmaker Stakes, Klaravich Stables' REDISTRICTING (GB) (g, 5, Kingman {GB}–Cascata {Ire}, by Montjeu {Ire}) gave the conditioner a sixth victory in the GII United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park, allowing him to equal the record held by the legendary MacKenzie Miller. Sent off the 13-10 favorite to build upon a facile five-length success in the Listed Monmouth Stakes over nine furlongs on June 14, the 140,000gns Tattersalls October yearling was beaten for speed and was settled in third position through the opening exchanges as Major Dude (Bolt d'Oro) lobbed them along in advance of Limited Liability (Kitten's Joy). Well-rated in the middle furlongs by Flavien Prat, Redistricting continued to ride the rails, saving his best for a finish as Major Dude took the field into the final quarter-mile. Pulled out into the two path approaching the final furlong, Redistricting kicked on very nicely and had a margin of about two lengths over Grand Sonata (Medaglia d'Oro), who completed the exacta for the second year in a row. Major Dude held for third. Redistricting is a 58th worldwide GSW for Juddmonte Farms' outstanding Kingman.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.–The work is done. Now, Sovereignty (Into Mischief) waits for the $500,000 GII Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga Race Course next Saturday. Winner of the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Belmont Stakes, Sovereignty's connections are confident he is ready to make his first start since that Triple Crown campaign. Saturday, morning at 7:30, Sovereignty had his final work for the Jim Dandy–and third since the Belmont–going four furlongs in 49.82 (12/41) under Neil Poznansky, the assistant to Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott. Sovereignty worked by himself; in his last two works, he went with 4-year-old stablemate Jefferson Street (Street Sense). “I felt like working him alone,” Mott said, sitting on his pony Rocky in the grassy area outside his barn at the Oklahoma Training Track. “I thought he had done enough in his last two works; we didn't need him to do any more. It looked like he was moving fine to me. The main thing is that Neil thought it was good. He thought he felt very similar to before he went into the last race.” Poznansky, a former jockey, has been Sovereignty's partner for his works and he was impressed with how things went on a perfect Saturday morning. “Great, just what he needed,” Poznansky said back at the barn. “He did just what he needed. He didn't do too much; he didn't do enough. He is a little more laid back when he's on his own. It's a great position to be in, being able to get on him, but I wouldn't want to mess it up. There is always a little pressure involved.” Sovereignty, owned by Godolphin LLC, has won three of four starts this year. In addition to the Derby and Belmont, he took the GII Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream and was second in the GI Curlin Florida Derby. He has been in Saratoga ever since the Kentucky Derby. Mott has carefully mapped out Sovereignty's campaign. The ultimate summer goal is the $1.25-million GI DraftKings Travers Stakes on Aug. 23. First, though, the Jim Dandy. “It's an important race,” he said. “It's a means of getting to the Travers. The Travers is the major event. You have to have a little luck. They have to go around there; it's not official until those blinking lights say it's official.” Work of the Day from #Saratoga—Sovereignty worked 4 Furlongs in 49.82 on July 19th, 2025, for trainer Bill Mott. pic.twitter.com/bk7SjrnLyr — 1/ST TV (@Watch1ST) July 19, 2025 Sovereignty, the top ranked 3-year-old in the country, gets his daily dose of carrots from his pal, longtime employee of trainer Bill Mott, after he had his final work for next weekend's Jim Dandy at Saratoga. pic.twitter.com/nK2riyJkW7 — Tim Wilkin (@tjwilkin) July 19, 2025 Good Cheer On Target For Alabama Stakes The sting of having the long winning streak snapped has dulled at the Saratoga barn of trainer Brad Cox. He and his team are getting ready to start another one with the talented 3-year-old filly Good Cheer (Medaglia d'Oro). Good Cheer, owned by Godolphin LLC, won the first seven starts of her career before tasting defeat in the GI Acorn Stakes at Saratoga on June 6. She was fifth, beaten nine lengths by La Cara (Street Sense) over a sloppy track. “It did not go as well as we would have liked,” Cox said Saturday morning outside his office at his barn at the Oklahoma Training Track. “We could not find anything wrong with her. She came out of it in good order.” The next target for Good Cheer, who won the prestigious GI Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs in May, is the GI Alabama Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 16. Following the Acorn, Cox said he backed off on Good Cheer. She has had three works since July 5, the latest being Saturday when she breezed four furlongs in 48.58 on the main track. Cox is liking what the filly is showing him. “It was really good,” Cox said. “We have really liked what we have seen from her training over the last month, and she is on target for the Alabama. We have a ways to go, but let's put it this way: if she runs the way she breezed this morning, we'll be in good shape.” Good Cheer won her first seven starts by a combined 401/4 lengths, including a 2 1/4-length score in the Kentucky Oaks. Losing the Acorn, while disappointing, did remove the pressure of the winning streak. “I suppose,” Cox said, “but the pressure is on for her to show up and run well in the next one. We know that was not her in the last race. When she got to the half-mile pole, for whatever reason, she just did not go on with it.” Cox also had 5-year-old Highland Falls (Curlin), last year's GI Jockey Club Gold Cup winner, on the main. He worked five furlongs in company with 4-year-old 'TDN Rising Star' Tarifa (Bernardini) in 1:01 (2/14) as he prepares for the GI Whitney Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 2. Highland Falls made his first start since a ninth-place finish in last November's GI Breeders' Cup Classic a winning one when he won a one-mile allowance race at Aqueduct by 5 1/2 lengths on June 27. “He breezed great,” Cox said. “That was a good race off the layoff. He was ready for that and well, it was one turn, and we know he is a two-turn horse. That tightened him up and he has had two good works now at Saratoga. If all goes well next week, we'll be ready for the Whitney.” Manny's Got A Dandy Ride Trainer Jeremiah Englehart knew he was going to need a jockey for Mo Plex (Complexity) in next Saturday's $500,000 GII Jim Dandy Stakes. He reached out to someone who knows the horse well. He will give Manny Franco a leg up when New York-bred Mo Plex, owned by R and H Stable, takes his shot against the likes of Sovereignty (Into Mischief), Baeza (McKinzie) and Sandman (Tapit) in the Jim Dandy. Franco is one of three riders to pilot Mo Plex in his eight-race career. Irad Ortiz Jr. has ridden him four times, Franco three and Joseph Ramos, one of the leading riders at Horseshoe Indianapolis once. Ramos rode him when Mo Plex won the GIII Ohio Derby in his last start. Ortiz had worked Mo Plex in two works, but it was Franco who got the call for his final Jim Dandy work on Friday. Ortiz also rode Hill Road (Quality Road) in the GI Belmont Stakes and Hill Road is being pointed to the Jim Dandy. “This is the toughest riding colony in the country right now,” Franco said Saturday morning at the Oklahoma Training Track. “There are a lot of guys. You have to earn it.” In Friday's four-furlong work, which Mo Plex completed in 48.84 (22/78), Franco was on him in the morning for the first time. “He is a nice horse, he did it the right way,” Franco said. “You have to get him going a little bit, but as soon as he gets into his rhythm, he is good. I am glad to be on him.” The post Saratoga Notebook Presented By NYRA Bets: Sovereignty Has Final Tune-Up For Jim Dandy appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

All eyes were on the debuting $1.3-million OBS April graduate Stradale (Yaupon), but it was another son of Yaupon who stole the show at the Spa Saturday afternoon. Emphasis (Yaupon), off at debut odds of 5-1, was quickest of all in the early stages while the heavily favored Stradale was checked sharply and trailed the field of eight. Emphasis raced under pressure through an opening quarter in :22.87, held a narrow advantage heading to the quarter pole and kept finding in the stretch to hold the unlucky Growth Equity (Nyquist) safe by a length. Stradale ran very well to finish third after his early trouble. Emphasis becomes the seventh winner for his freshman sire (by Uncle Mo). The final time for six furlongs was 1:11.83.

Winchell Thoroughbreds' Magnitude (Not This Time) went a leisurely half-mile in :51.68 (34/41) over the Oklahoma training track at Saratoga Saturday morning and is being pointed for the $1.25-million GI DraftKings Travers Stakes at the Spa on Aug. 23. A $310,000 Keeneland November weanling and $450,000 Keeneland September yearling, Magnitude led every step of the way to take the GII Risen Star Stakes by 9 3/4 lengths at the Fair Grounds on Feb. 15, good for a 108 Beyer and stamping himself as a leading contender for the GI Kentucky Derby. Ruled off the Triple Crown trail a short time thereafter with an ankle chip, Magnitude picked up where he left off, wiring the July 5 Iowa Derby by 9 1/4 lengths, earning a 105 Beyer. Trainer Steve Asmussen told the NYRA notes team that the Travers makes more sense for his charge than next weekend's GII Jim Dandy Stakes. “He's a beautiful mover and came out of the Iowa Derby in good shape. It was a beautiful morning today to work,” Asmussen said. “[The Jim Dandy] comes back too quick off that big of a race, so we plan on just training him up to the Travers. We're just concentrating on him, and I think it's obviously a very deep and talented group of 3-year-olds. Our responsibility is how Magnitude is doing, and we're just extremely excited about how he's traveling and how he looks right now.” Asmussen is also now calling the shots with Bashford Manor Stakes hero Romeo (Honor A. P.), who was purchased by Mahmud Mouni for $1.7 million at the Fasig-Tipton July Horses of Racing Age Sale. The colt breezed an easy four furlongs in :51.89 Saturday morning, but Asmussen is inclined to not rush things. “We're very fortunate to have him,” the Hall of Famer said. “He does not carry himself or act like a 2-year-old. He's very professional. We did go ahead and nominate him to the [GII] Saratoga Special [Aug. 2], but I think with the change after the sale, most likely that will be too soon.” The trainer indicated the more likely return to action will be the GI Spendthrift Farm Hopeful Stakes going seven furlongs on Sept. 1. Cox Runners On Target For Grade I Attempts Juddmonte's Flying Gambit (Not This Time), a fast-finishing fourth when trying the dirt for the first time in the GI Kentucky Derby on May 3 and a latest fifth in the GI Belmont Derby Invitational July 4, went a half-mile in :49.81 (5/42) over the Oklahoma turf training track Friday morning. Trainer Brad Cox said that the GIII Jeff Ruby Steaks winner will remain on the grass for the $750,000 GI Saratoga Derby Invitational on Aug. 2. “He had his first work over the turf here and it went well,” Cox said. “He ran OK last time, he was just a little reluctant to move forward around the turn. Once he figured things out, it was a little too late. He galloped out well and I think he showed in the Kentucky Derby he's a very good horse. We're hoping he can move forward a little bit in his next race.” Cox also provided an update on 'TDN Rising Star' Patch Adams (Into Mischief), who returned to Churchill Downs a short time after his victory in the GI Woody Stephens Stakes at the Spa June 7. The bay, who most recently breezed a half-mile in :49 flat (71/167) in Louisville July 19, remains on track for the GI H. Allen Jerkens Stakes on the Travers undercard Aug. 23. “He's had two works back since the Woody Stephens and he's doing great,” Cox said. “We'll probably keep him down there for the time being and he actually really, really likes it there. He does very well there.” The post Magnitude Works, Will Train Up To Travers appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

G1 Coronation Cup winner Jan Brueghel (Galileo) is more likely for the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes than dual Derby hero Lambourn (Australia), trainer Aidan O'Brien revealed on Saturday. The Coolmore partners-owned 2024 G1 St Leger hero defeated the Aga Khan Studs' Calandagan (Gleneagles) at Epsom in June and will likely face that rival again. Continuous (Heart's Cry), who won the St Leger in 2023, is also set to participate in the Ascot showpiece. The G1 St Leger route is now under consideration for Lambourn. O'Brien said, “At the moment I'd say Jan Brueghel is most likely to go to the King George, with Continuous. Lambourn is still on the boiling pot for it, but I don't think he'll be forced into it by any means and he is a three-year-old. “Jan Brueghel seems to be in very good form and everyone seems to be very happy with him. I'd imagine the lads might let him go there. That would mean Lambourn would have a couple of easy weeks and he might go to the [G2] Great Voltigeur (at York), even though he's a Group 1 winner, and kind of set him up for the Leger. They haven't really decided yet, but reading between the lines that's what could happen.” The G1 Juddmonte International at York on August 20 has emerged as the main target for the G1 Eclipse one-four Delacroix (Dubawi) and Camille Pissarro (Wootton Bassett), who has the G1 Prix du Jockey Club and G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere to his credit. Three-time Group 1 winner Los Angeles (Camelot) is enjoying a summer break before his prep begins for the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. “We have Delacroix and Camille Pissarro being trained for the Juddmonte at York and the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown. They'll be taking that slot at the moment,” he said. “Los Angeles is on a break and he'll maybe go to the [G2] Prix Foy on Arc trials day with the view of going to the Arc with him. “Delacroix loved Leopardstown and was very good around there. Whether the lads decide to go to York or not before that, they'll make that decision. He seems in good form at the moment.” Cartier Champion 2-Year-Old Filly Lake Victoria (Frankel), who won the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas, is still sidelined and faces an uncertain future. She was ruled out of Royal Ascot with a setback and has yet to begin exercising again. O'Brien told ITV Racing, “She is not back in exercise yet. She's doing very well physically, but she's not back in work yet. “John [Halley, vet] will make the decision on whether she comes back into work for this year or is left alone until next year or is retired altogether. They'll be decisions that will be made as weeks go by.” Of his juveniles, O'Brien's Gstaad was handed the loftiest targets. The G2 Coventry Stakes-winning son of Starspangledbanner is eyeing a start in the G1 Phoenix Stakes on August 9. All being well, he could also take in France's G1 Prix Morny at Deauville on August 24, and the G1 National Stakes back in Ireland on September 14. The G1 Dewhurst Stakes in October is also a possible target. O'Brien added, “Gstaad is very well, he's come out of the Coventry very well. We're thinking he could be a Heinz [Phoenix Stakes] horse, he could take in Deauville [Prix Morny] and he could take in the National Stakes and he could end up being a Dewhurst horse at the end.” The post Weight Behind Jan Brueghel Over Lambourn For King George appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

2nd-Monmouth, $51,975, Msw, 7-19, 3yo/up, f/m, 6f, 1:10.70, ft, 6 1/4 lengths. SILENT DREAMER (f, 3, Into Mischief–Celestine {GISW, $1,148,055}, by Scat Daddy) debuted on the lawn at Aqueduct Sept. 19 last season, and ran a flat seventh after showing little. She transitioned from the Christophe Clement to the Miguel Clement program on her return to the barn, and left the blocks for this second jump with first-time blinkers, Lasix, and on the main track. In the bit and taking the lead right from the jump, the 7-1 shot set the tempo in :22.25 and four furlongs in :45.33 with no pressure from her rivals. Roused to keep her mind on running as they entered the lane, she responded well and drew off to win by 6 1/4 lengths over tough-luck Risuko (American Pharoah). Silent Dreamer is the first winner out of Celestine–the victress of the GI Longines Just a Game Stakes, and a half-sister to MSW Haunted Heroine (Ghostzapper), herself the mother of GSW & GISP Law Professor (Constitution). The winner has an unraced juvenile half-sister named Jadorlinija (Curlin), a yearling half-brother by Gun Runner, and a 2025 half-sister by Curlin. This is the immediate female family of MGSW Dreamfyre (Flameaway), who was purchased by Equus Bloodstock for $375,000 last season at FTKNOV, and was recently bred to Gun Runner for 2026. That filly's half-sister is GI Starlet Stakes third Nasreddine (Nyquist). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $32,400. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Sunday, Chantilly, France, post time: 17:00, GOFFS PRIX ROBERT PAPIN-G2, €119,000, 2yo, 6fT Field: Moojeed (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Tadej (GB) (Ardad {Ire}), Super Soldier (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Imperial Me Cen (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Green Sense (Ire) (Starman {GB}). TDN Verdict: France has won just one of the last 11 renewals and is represented by Moojeed and Imperial Me Cen, who finished first and third when meeting over this course and distance in last month's G3 Prix du Bois. Tadej was just over five lengths ahead of Super Soldier when both ran unplaced in Royal Ascot's G2 Coventry Stakes and should hold the edge once more. Green Sense is the only filly on show and comes back off an unplaced effort in the G3 Albany Stakes at the Royal meet. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Curragh, post time: 15:40, ROMANISED MINSTREL STAKES-G2, €72,000, 3yo/up, 7fT Field: Big Gossey (Ire) (Gutaifan {Ire}), Chicago Critic (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Diego Velazquez (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Lord Massusus (Ire) (Markaz {Ire}), Mutasarref (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Room Service (Ire) (Kodi Bear {GB}), Queen Of Thunder (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Vespertilio (Fr) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), East Hampton (GB) (Cracksman {GB}), California Dreamer (GB) (Mehmas {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Take out his Queen Anne no-show and Diego Velazquez remains an exciting older miler with the memory of his Meld and Solonaway wins still relatively fresh. Sharpened up over seven here, he encounters the smart filly Vespertilio who may have enjoyed a much-needed confidence boost when taking the six-furlong Listed Dash Stakes here last month. Last year's Jersey third Chicago Critic popped up again last time when taking Leopardstown's Listed Amethyst Stakes and is one of the other contenders. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Curragh, post time: 14:30, AL SHIRA'AA RACING MEADOW COURT STAKES-G3, €42,000, 4yo/up, f/m, 10fT Field: Higher Leaves (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}), One Look (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Azada (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), Beechwood (Ire) (Le Havre {Ire}), Indigo Five (Ire) (Fast Company {Ire}), Lemsairbat (Fr) (Bated Breath {GB}), Naomi Lapaglia (GB) (Awtaad {Ire}), Soft Winds (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Tasmania (Ger) (Australia {GB}), Uluru (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Having pulled off the notable feat of landing the 2023 Goffs Million on her racecourse debut, One Look owes connections nothing especially after winning the G3 Park Express Stakes and giving Porta Fortuna something to think about in the Ridgewood Pearl. Higher Leaves is another ready-baked Group 3 winner, having relished the Toulouse mud to take apart the Prix Fille de l'Air in November and she probably needs all of the forecast rain and a bit more. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Chantilly, France, post time: 15:50, DARLEY PRIX CHLOE-G3, €73,200, 3yo, f, 9fT Field: Cathedral (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Rosa Salvaje (Ire) (Maximum Security), Paix Des Dames (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}), Whataboutism (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Relaxx (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Serving With Style (GB) (Mohaather {GB}). TDN Verdict: Last term's G3 Oh So Sharp Stakes runner-up Cathedral has finished fourth in both starts this year and holds solid claims coming back off a career best in Royal Ascot's G1 Coronation Stakes. Relaxx rates as an obvious danger and returns off a clear-cut success and black-type breakthrough here in last month's Listed Prix de Bagatelle. Serving With Style has failed to fire in two outings since running second in last term's G2 Rockfel Stakes while Rosa Salvaje and Paix Des Dames need to step up on previous black-type efforts. The unexposed Whataboutism is an interesting contender and will bid to provide Andre Fabre with a record sixth renewal. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Chantilly, France, post time: 17:35, PRIX MESSIDOR-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, 8fT Field: Alcantor (Fr) (New Bay {GB}), Geography (Ger) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), Marhaba Ya Sanafi (Ire) (Muhaarar {GB}), Ice Max (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Quddwah (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Vertbois (Fr) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Caramelito (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), Siam Paragon (Fr) (Shalaa {Ire}), Ridari (Fr) (Churchill {Ire}), Dos Mukasan (Fr) (Golden Horde {Ire}). April's G3 Prix de Fontainebleau victor Ridari ran with credit when unplaced in both the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains and G1 Prix du Jockey Club and has an opportunity to regain the winning thread here. He holds fellow sophomore Dos Mukasan on Poulains form. Alcantor, Marhaba Ya Sanafi and Siam Paragon are consistent performers at this level and bolster the home defence in the face of a three-strong foreign challenge. The former, along with G2 Prix du Muguet runner-up Vertbois, represents the Andre Fabre stable seeking a record-extending 14th edition. [Sean Cronin].

Godolphin blueblood Spirited Style (Sea The Stars), a daughter of the operation's three-time Group 1 winner Wild Illusion (Dubawi) backed up a breakthrough victory at Haydock in May with a career high on black-type debut in Saturday's Listed Ric & Mary Hambro Aphrodite Fillies' Stakes at Newmarket. “She's improving and improving off each run, she relished the conditions today and really enjoyed the soft ground,” said winning rider Billy Loughnane. “I hit the front sooner than ideal, but we had to go as I didn't want to get boxed in. She'd have probably been a more impressive winner had I not have to do that. She hadn't been tried in any stakes-level race and some of the others brought in a good standard of form. It was a bit of an unknown, but she took to it well and is still learning.” Patiently ridden several lengths off the pace in sixth for most of the 12-furlong test, the 5-4 favourite made smooth headway inside the final half-mile to inch ahead passing the two pole and was driven out up the hill to assert by 1 3/4 lengths from G3 Bronte Cup third Sueno (Camelot).

When a Sir Mark Prescott newcomer comes in for money, you know it's a classy animal and Moon Target (Cracksman) delivered the gamble in style on debut at Newmarket on Saturday. Prominent throughout under Oisin Murphy, Cheveley Park's 5-2 favourite who hails from the family of Frankel's Inspiral turned the two-year-old fillies' seven-furlong maiden into a procession when scoring by 5 1/2 lengths.

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) and the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) have placed a group of horses located in Barn 28 at Saratoga Race Course under quarantine due to a suspected case of strangles, which includes La Cara (Street Sense) who was scratched from the GI CCA Oaks, the track said in a press release on Saturday morning. The 4-year-old filly [Surprenant Cocca (Catholic Boy)], who is trained by Mike Maker and stabled in Barn 28, presented symptoms early Saturday, July 19 and has been transported offsite for additional testing. Horses in Barn 28 will not be permitted to enter races or train among the general horse population at this time. The barn, which also contains several horses trained by Mark Casse, will be placed under quarantine until test results are received and additional guidance is provided. Besides La Cara, Casse's other horse at Saratoga that will be scratched on Saturday appears in race seven–first-time starter Our Magical Moon (Good Magic). Also in the GII United Nations Stakes at Monmouth, Casse's Spa shippers Corruption (Medaglia d'Oro) and Get Smokin (Get Stormy) were scratched. Co-owner Ironhorse Racing Stable said in a post on X that “Get Smokin, who is doing terrific heading into today's United Nations Stakes at MonmouthPark, has been scratched due to the quarantine situation at Saratoga, where he was shipping in from this morning. He is happy and healthy and looking forward to his next start.” NYRA and the NYSGC implemented standard infectious disease protocols including restricting access to the horses in the affected barns, establishing a 24-hour security watch, mandating regular temperature checks for the horses in that barn and enacting biosecurity measures for all individuals requiring access to Barn 28. Strangles is a contagious bacterial infection that generally affects a horse's respiratory system and causes symptoms similar to those of strep throat in humans. When properly diagnosed and treated, strangles is not considered a life-threatening infection and horses recover fully. Beyond the quarantine protocols currently in place, NYRA has enacted no additional restrictions over shipping horses in and out of Saratoga. NYRA will provide updates as appropriate. Get Smokin, who is doing terrific heading into today's United Nations Stakes @MonmouthPark has been scratched due to the quarantine situation at Saratoga, where he was shipping in from this morning.

It might not have resembled a Classic on paper, but Saturday's G1 Juddmonte Irish Oaks at least produced a stirring finish as Minnie Hauk (Frankel) overwhelmed her only serious rival Wemightakedlongway (Australia). Giving the impression as she had at Epsom that she does only just enough, the 2-11 favourite had 1 1/4 lengths to spare over the Oaks fourth, with Ballydoyle's pacemaker Island Hopping (Wootton Bassett) 2 1/2 lengths back in third. So tough. So good … Wemightakedlongway was ultra-game, but becomes the 16th filly to complete the English/Irish Oaks double pic.twitter.com/5hYw6Scbe3 — Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 19, 2025 The post Job Done For Minnie Hauk As Oaks Double Completed appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Fresh off their 4,000th and 2,600th victories, respectively, trainer Mark Casse and D. J. Stable will try to add to those lofty achievements in Sunday's C$500,000 Woodbine Oaks. Casse, who is looking to tie trainer Jim Day as a five-time winner of the nine-furlong contest, has no fewer than five chances, two of which are campaigned by the Green family. Winterberry (Frosted) has won half of her six trips to the post, including last year's seven-furlong Glorious Song Stakes as a short-priced favorite and a latest pillar-to-post success in the restricted Fury Stakes June 7, also going seven panels. The $210,000 Keeneland September purchase tries two turns and a distance beyond a mile for the first time from an awkward gate in 11 on Sunday, but her Hall(s) of Fame conditioner is cautiously optimistic. “She is interesting in that we thought all along that she was a sprinter,” said Casse. “But she has really matured. She was scratched twice before she ever ran because of her antics. I talked to [jockey] Patrick [Husbands] the other day after he worked her, and he told me that she is a different horse. I know that he is excited about her running. “Winterberry may keep going. She is coming into the Oaks better than ever. I am still not 100% sure she can get the mile and an eighth, but she is very talented.” Husbands has ridden three of Casse's four Oaks winners, including Gary Barber's next-out Queen's Plate heroine Lexie Lou (Sligo Bay {Ire}) in 2014. Barber is represented Sunday by the rail-drawn War Signal (War of Will). D. J.'s Shifty (Medaglia d'Oro), a $350,000 Fasig-Tipton October acquisition, is the morning-line 5-2 favorite from the five hole with 2023 Oaks-winning jockey Sahin Civaci at the controls. Winner of the grassy Catch a Glimpse Stakes on the grass last season, she bossed an allowance field on the synth by 9 1/2 lengths on seasonal debut May 11, but exits a one-paced third at 2-5 in the Fury. “Shifty is probably the most talented [of the group],” said Casse. “She has her quirks. If she can settle and get into a good rhythm, she will be tough. She's very talented.” Those looking for longer-priced chances could be drawn to Innisfree Isle (Bolt d'Oro), well beaten on sprint debut May 25, but a visually impressive winner over a mile and a sixteenth June 21. In a race that looks to have a fair bit of speed, the $75,000 FTKOCT grad may find the race shape to her liking. The post Casse, D. J.

Coolmore's True Love (No Nay Never) shed maiden status in last month's G3 Albany Stakes and overpowered three colts to become the first filly since Eva Luna in 1994 to annex Saturday's G2 GAIN Railway Stakes at the Curragh. Stalking the leading duo in a handy third through the opening fractions, the 1-2 favourite glided forward from halfway to assume control approaching the final furlong and powered clear in style to easily account for stablemate Puerto Rico (Wootton Bassett) by an impressive five lengths.

Aidan O'Brien had annexed six of the last 10 renewals of the Curragh's Juddmonte Chaldean Irish EBF Maiden, including with The Lion In Winter last year, and added another to his resume when the once-raced New Zealand (Frankel) led home a stable trifecta in this year's edition. “He's a lovely big horse, but he hasn't a clue what he's doing yet,” said O'Brien. “He's massive, with the power and the size of him, and we'll go gentle and let him come on. He learned a lot from the first day, we liked him before that, but he was a little bit slow away and was very green. He's a big horse and he's all power. I know he's not short of speed but he looks like a big middle-distance horse. He's a brave devil too.” The 10-11 pick, a G2 Futurity Stakes and G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes entry, had previously finished seventh behind the TDN Rising Star display of the yard's Dorset (Wootton Bassett) over the same seven-furlong strip last month and was rousted from the gates to gain an early advantage in this return. Holding sway throughout, he came under pressure at the intersection with the round course and kept on in relentless fashion under a Ryan Moore drive inside the final quarter-mile to hold stablemates Isaac Newton (Camelot) and Action (Frankel) by a nose and a half-length. A @Ballydoyle 1-2-3 in the @JuddmonteFarms Chaldean @IrishEBF_ Maiden Action and Isaac Newton caught the eye, but held sway under Ryan Moore.

By Michael Guerin Dylan Ferguson admits Crackerjack is going to need to improve to warrant racing our best three-year-old trotters again this season. The good thing is Ferguson thinks that improvement is almost certain. The three-year-old recorded the third win of his career with perfect manners in his Classique Landscapers Metro Trotters Heat at Alexandra Park on Friday night, skying away to an easy win with Dylan’s father Peter in the sulky. Being a Metro Trot heat the next target for Crackerjack is an easy decision, the $35,000 final next Friday but what comes later will be up to the son of Majestic Son himself. Crackerjack was initially rated an average to better than average three-year-old by Dyan and wife/training partner Jo but when his improvement curve started they chanced their arm in the Northern Trotting Derby. “That kicked his arse a bit so we have taken things along quietly getting him back to where he is now,” says Ferguson. “So we won’t be rushing to be taking on Meant To Be [Derby winner] any time soon and he will have to show us he is at that level before we would plan to go down south. “But we don’t really need to travel too much with him. “He can race for almost $20,000 any week we like at Alexandra Park and would be qualified for the Golden Gait series so he has a lot of options here. “He is a typical trotter and getting him to this stage has been a lot about maturity and the top two inches and now that is coming right we think he will keep improving.” Ferguson says Crackerjack is “three-quarters owned in Australia” so that is another option for him eventually but he and Jo will have no shortage of horses in training regardless of where Friday night’s winner ends up in a year or so. “We have 18 in work now which is actually too many for winter but a few months ago we have 25 and that is the sort of summer numbers we want to be training so we are getting plenty of support.” Crackerjack started a night of Waikato domination of the Alexandra Park trotting events with Dragonstone and Con Grazia Love also winning their features. Dragonstone showed ability for trainer Arna Donnelly last season and looks to have strengthened with how she won the second Metro heat in very similar front-running fashion, albeit more narrowly, than Crackerjack. And fellow Waikato mare Con Grazia Love was dazzling winning the main trot after being backed into hot favouritism. Her front line ace drawn was of no use as she was last of the bunch with 500m to go but unwound brilliantly in the hands of Emily Johnson for a stunning victory. The night also saw star driver Zachary Butcher move to 1100 career New Zealand wins with Tyson in the opening event. View the full article

by Michael Guerin One Mhor For Heather is doing exactly what was named to do. And that is win races so her owners could remember and celebrate in the name of the late harness racing owner Heather Williams. Heather, with her husband Lex, raced some wonderful horses before Heather sadly passed in November 2020. One of thosd good horses they owned together was One Over Da Moon, the Jewels winner of his juvenile year, who has since stood at stud and sired some smart trotters. Enter the fray Heather’s friends Linda and Neil Carter, who lived just up the road from Lex and Heather in Timaru. The Williams owned Leithe Ellen and bred from her with some success before she started to struggle to get into foal. The Carters took the mare over and Heather talked them into sending her to One Over Da Moon. The result is One Mhor For Heather, who took out the $34,000 Silk Road Winter Series Final at Addington on Friday night. Trained and driven by Robbie Holmes the four-year-old mare overcame a 10m handicap with a great beginning and eventually ended up trailing leader Priness Sadie before getting up inside her on the passing lane. It was her fourth career win at start 21 and every one of them does what Linda Carter intended when she named the horse. “This filly was only born a month before Heather died,” says Carter. “We got the mare off her and it was Heather who talked us into going to One Over Da Moon so I told her I would name it after her. “The Mhor part comes from the Scottish/Gaelic word meaning ‘great’ and the rest of the name is pretty self explanatory. “So obviously every time she races we remember Heather, who was such a lovely person. “We have a great bunch of owners in her, including Les, and we are loving having her. “To have her going so well and winning a race like this is a bonus.” While One Mhor For Heather was the emotional story of the night the numbers game was won by Team Telfer, as many punters expected it would be. They trained four winners at Addington, all driven by Tim Williams, including Slots who was professional in the main pace. Add that to the three winners they had at Alexandra Park and one on Thursday night at Cambridge and they are now 24 wins clear in the national trainer’s premiership with no end in sight to their winter of wonder.

by Michael Guerin Champion trainer Mark Purdon worries he may be all out of Inter Dominion miracles. Purdon and son Nathan take Oscar Bonavena to Albion Park in Brisbane tonight for the A$500,000 Inter Dominion Trotting Final, the veteran trotter joining fellow Kiwi trotter Bet N Win in giving New Zealand a great chance of winning the 3157m mobile iconic event. The only problem is Oscar Bonavena has finished just seventh and sixth in his two heats of the series, hardly Inter Dominion winning form, and he will need a special type of form turnaround tonight. Lucky for him Purdon specializes in Inter Dominion heroics, his history in the Trans Tasman harness racing carnival quite unbelievable. His first ever Interdom win came as a driver for his late father Roy and brother Barry when Mark Hanover won the Pacing Final at Alexandra Park 34 years ago. Think what you were doing 34 years ago. That is how long Purdon has been winning Inter Dominions. Mark trained the trotting series winner three years in a row between 1996 and 1998 with Pride Of Petite twice and Buster Hanover once, Pride Of Petite’s second win in Adelaide one of the most freakish performances in the history of the Inter Dominions. I Can Doosit went back to back in the Trotters Final for Purdon in 2011-12, while he trained Smolda to come from last to win at Gloucester Park (another miracle) in 2016 before Lazarus beat the Aussies up in the final at the same venue the next year. In 2019 Purdon doubled down, winning both the Pacing and Trotting Finals with Ultimate Sniper and Winterfell. So if anybody can cajole a tricky trotter into winning tonight it is Purdon. But even he admits Oscar Bonavena has him flummoxed as Oscar, like many humans, gets more eccentric with age. “Before last week’s heat he was trotting beautifully at home and I thought he’d win,” says Purdon. “So to see him trot that badly early stunned me. “Maybe it is just him being cunning as he has got older and he does serve [impregnate] mares as well as racing and maybe that hasn’t helped his concentration. “I have no doubts he could win on is best behaviour but he has let me down too many times this last year to totally trust him.” Oscar Bonavena may be suited by drawing the unruly (second line) tonight in the hope his rivals go hard, struggle with the long distance, and he can swoop late. That is probably how he is most potent but also a very rare path to winning a major harness race these days. Bet N Win is therefore the more logical of the two Kiwi hopes, unbeaen in the heats with perfect manners and driver Bob Butt in form. While New Zealand had no reps in the A$1million Pacing Final (11.10pm NZ time) punters who make it that far into the night will at least get to see a true champion in Leap To Fame, who looks unbeatable on his home track, with Captains Knock the best place bet at $3. New Zealand is also represented by Captains Mistress in the Queensland Oaks and Rubira for the Purdons in the Queensland Derby. View the full article
