With much of Kentucky under a flood watch amid heavy rain expected to pound the state from April 3-6, Keeneland has postponed its first two days of racing.View the full article

Due to a forecast of severe storms and significant flooding expected in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky this weekend, Keeneland is rescheduling the first two days of its Spring Meet to ensure the safest environment for horses, participants and fans, according to a press release from the track late on Wednesday afternoon. The decision was made following Gov. Andy Beshear's declaration earlier today of a state of emergency ahead of potentially historic amounts of rain and strong winds across the state during the next four days. Keeneland's opening Friday, April 4 race card, including the GI Central Bank Ashland Stakes, now will take place on Monday, Apr. 7. The Saturday, Apr. 5 race card, featuring the GI Toyota Blue Grass Stakes, will be rescheduled to Tuesday, Apr. 8. Gates will open at 11:00 a.m. ET and first post is set for 1:00 p.m. ET. Mondays and Tuesdays are typically non-racing days. Keeneland is closely monitoring track conditions and plans to run Sunday's race card, which now will serve as opening day of the Spring Meet, as planned. “The safety of our equine and human participants, as well as of our fans, is at the core of every decision we make at Keeneland,” said Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin. “Our team has spent months preparing for opening weekend, and we recognize the significant impact of rescheduling our two biggest race days. While we have navigated challenging weather in the past, the conditions being forecast for the region are unprecedented for Keeneland. Ultimately, ensuring the safety of everyone involved is our top priority.” “Keeneland takes its responsibility seriously to host these important racing events in the safest environment possible,” said Keeneland Vice President of Racing Gatewood Bell. “We have been in close communication with horsemen, industry officials and trusted meteorologists, and we believe rescheduling these race days is the best way to take care of each other. Keeneland appreciates the understanding of its fans, horsemen, jockeys, trainers and sponsors as we work to ensure the safety of all involved in our race meet.” Information for Friday and Saturday ticketholders: For those patrons who purchased tickets for opening Friday and Saturday, previously purchased general admission tickets now will be valid for single entry on any race day during the Spring Meet, including dates that are currently sold out.

A total of four horses sold for more than $100,000 at Wednesday's Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale at Lone Star Park, with Hip 15 topping the sale at $150,000, the Texas Thoroughbred Association (TTA) said in Wednesday release. All told, 58 of 85 juveniles offered sold for a total of $1,666,100. The average was $28,726 and the median was $18,000. The 2024 edition of the auction saw 66 head go for a total of $2,294,500, with an average of $34,765 and a median of $24,500. A total of 47 went unsold. The sales topper was purchased by Clark Brewster from the consignment of Bryan Ford Training Center LLC, the Oklahoma-bred colt by Omaha Beach clocked :10 in Monday's breeze show to tie for the fastest time. The mid-April foal is out of the stakes-placed Into Mischief mare Natalie's Mischief, whose first registered offspring is a winner. The high-selling filly was Hip 1, a Louisiana-bred daughter of Lone Sailor who went to Patricia's Hope LLC from Pike Racing at Highlander, agent. She also worked :10 and is out of a Yes It's True mare who has produced a pair of stakes winners from three starters. “We had a Texas-bred sell for $265,000 last year, which really boosted the average and was one of the highest prices we've had in quite a while, so considering we didn't have one hit that lofty mark this year we are quite pleased to be close to $30,000 for our average,” said Sales Director Foster Bridewell. “I think this proves that the 2-year-old market is strong in the Southwest.” Click here for complete results.

In racing, the advent of spring doesn't just mean delightful weather and foals capering through fields. It also means a multiplication of the number of graded events across the nation. The month of March boasted more graded races in the U.S. than January and February combined. With GI Kentucky Derby and Oaks preps in full swing, top older campaigners returning from winter breaks, and 2-year-old racing just around the corner, it's an exciting time in the sport. We took a look at trends and notable items from the country's graded races in March. With several blockbuster Saturday cards, March featured 43 graded races, split between Aqueduct (2), Fair Grounds (4), Gulfstream (14), Oaklawn (6), Santa Anita (11), Tampa Bay Downs (4), and Turfway Park (2). Five were contested as Grade I events, while 14 were Grade II and 24 were Grade III. A total of 25, or 58%, were on dirt. Sixteen were on the grass and the final two were on Turfway's all-weather surface. Seven were held at 10 furlongs or further and five at seven furlongs or less. The remaining 31 varied between eight and 9 1/2 furlongs, with 1 1/16 miles being the most popular (12). Fifteen of the 31 at those distances were carded for sophomores. Ten different trainers won 13 graded Derby and Oaks preps (two of the 15 graded 3-year-old races were contested on the turf), with only Brad Cox winning multiple events (4). Each of the Cox quartet was at a different track. Mark Casse did win three sophomore graded races in March, although they included the two turf races. Only one breeder had a graded sophomore double; no one will be surprised to learn it is multiple Eclipse-winning outstanding breeder Godolphin. Seven of the 15 sophomore graded winners are homebreds, including Journalism (Curlin). Breeder Don Alberto Corp. sold the colt for $825,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale, then joined the partnership that now campaigns the current Derby favorite. Two of the remaining eight graded sophomore winners sold for seven figures: Sandman (Tapit) for $1.2 million at OBS March and Tappan Street (Into Mischief) for $1 million at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga. Into Mischief netted two March graded-winning sophomore colts likely headed to the Derby, while both Medaglia d'Oro and Vekoma each got two sophomore graded-winning fillies, although the Oaks may be in the cards for only one of the March winners for each of those stallions as both of their second winners were on the grass. The GI Curlin Florida Derby has just under 75 years of history, yet 25 winners of the Kentucky Derby have run in the Florida Derby (15 as winners). Tappan Street won this year's edition. The highest Beyer Speed Figure of the month was 109, set by Locked (Gun Runner) and matched by Touchuponastar (Star Guitar). Journalism got the highest for a sophomore at 108, while the biggest figure for a sprinter was the 107 set by Booth (Mitole). The five Grade I winners in March were split between City of Light, Gun Runner, Into Mischief, Nyquist, and Tapit. With the exception of Locked for Gun Runner, the rest were all first-time Grade I winners for their sires, who are all active in Kentucky and all currently ranked in the top 25 sires in the nation for 2025. Thirty-three individual sires were represented by graded scorers in March. Both Gun Runner and Into Mischief had three individual winners, while Lancaster Bomber, Malibu Moon, Medaglia d'Oro, Mitole, Vekoma, and War Front had two. Three stallions doubled up on single days of racing: Gun Runner, Into Mischief, and War Front. Twenty-one of the 33 graded-winning stallions currently stand in Kentucky, while five are deceased and two were last reported to be standing in Korea. Of the remaining five, two stand in Louisiana, one in Florida, and one each in England and Ireland. Thirty-four individual broodmare sires were represented, with the biggest beneficiaries being Distorted Humor with two Grade I winners Mar. 29, Street Sense with four individual graded winners spread throughout four separate Saturdays, Tapit with three graded winners out of his daughters Mar. 22 (and his own Grade I winner Mar. 29), and Uncle Mo with three, including the reigning Horse of the Year and the current Derby favorite. Both Street Sense and Tapit are still active. Beach Bomb (SAf) (Lancaster Bomber) won two graded stakes, both at Gulfstream and both on the lawn, during the month of March. She joins other March graded winners Cavalieri (Nyquist), Good Cheer (Medaglia d'Oro), Quietside (Malibu Moon), Saffron Moon (Malibu Moon), and White Abarrio (Race Day) as dual scorers for 2025, but she is the only one to do it in one calendar month. Twelve of the 42 individual graded winners in March were homebreds, with three of the breeders taking on partners for ownership (two after a public sale). Twenty-five more went through public auctions, while the remaining five changed hands privately. Tapit sired a Grade I winner, had three sons and a grandson sire graded winners, and had three daughters produce graded winners during the month | Sarah Andrew Sandman ($1,200,000 2yo '24 OBSMAR) was the highest seller, while four have been sold at public sales for less than six figures. The Queens M G (Thousand Words) was the biggest bargain of all ($3,500 Ylg '23 FTKOCT). The latter is the only graded winner for her sire to date, while Sandman's sire Tapit is such a force he had three sons (Constitution, Frosted, and Race Day), as well as a grandson (Tiz the Law), sire graded winners in the U.S. during the month. GII TwinSpires.com Louisiana Derby winner Tiztastic (Tiz the Law) is inbred 3×2 to Tapit. As a breeder, Godolphin was represented by three individual graded winners in the U.S. in March, two of which are campaigned as homebreds. The other, Saturday's GIII Oaklawn Mile Stakes winner Banishing (Ghostzapper), was sold last July for $80,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Horses of Racing Age Sale. Spendthrift Farm LLC also bred two graded winners, as did Joseph Allen LLC (one in partnership). GI Santa Anita Handicap winner Locked is bred on the identical cross (Gun Runner out of a Malibu Moon mare) as last year's 3-year-old champion Sierra Leone. Augustin Stable lost Tirupati (Mitole) to the claim box for $25,000 last October at Woodbine, claimed her back for $50,000 just 23 days later, and increased her value exponentially in March with a win in the GIII Wilshire Stakes at Santa Anita. January's Eclipse-winning apprentice jockey Erik Asmussen scored his first career graded win with Booth in Oaklawn's GIII Whitmore Stakes. Booth is trained by his father, Steve, who in March also trained GIII Essex Handicap winner Red Route One (Gun Runner), giving another jockey son, Keith, his second career graded victory.

Just seven years into his own stud career, the continually climbing Hill 'n' Dale sire Good Magic already has four Grade I-winning sons standing in Kentucky. The team at Darby Dan Farm believes that with their new son of Good Magic, value is the distinguishing factor. Standing for $12,500 in his debut season, Blazing Sevens (Good Magic -Trophy Girl, by Warrior's Reward) not only has the lowest stud fee among Good Magic's sons, but also among the four Grade I-winning juveniles new to stud in 2025. A 'TDN Rising Star' and the winner of the GI Champagne Stakes, Blazing Sevens's commercial sireline and precocity have piqued the interest of breeders in the Bluegrass. “Price is so important in this day and age,” said Stuart Fitzgibbon, the Stallion Director at Darby Dan. “It's probably the most important thing with a stallion because it's the one thing you're in control of at the start. What price are you going to set this horse at? If you get it wrong, you're in big trouble. We got it absolutely spot on with this horse's price and he will breed a very, very good book of mares this year. The key with him is value.” Fitzgibbon reported that when breeders started visiting Blazing Sevens after he arrived at the farm last fall, word spread on the newcomer's good looks. “For a Good Magic he is quite big,” said Fitzgibbon. “He's out of a Warrior's Reward mare and is over 16.2. I'm always curious about how our new stallions stack up against all the other first-season horses. I know people are generally very polite, but the more people said that he stacks up really well, the more I believed them. He's a very good-looking horse with plenty of bone and a great walk. I think that has really sold him.” A $225,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga purchase for Rodeo Creek Racing, Blazing Sevens broke his maiden at Saratoga by over six lengths. He was third in the GI Hopeful Stakes before earning his Champagne victory, where he bested multiple Grade I-placed Verifying (Justify). As a sophomore, the Chad Brown trainee was third in the GI Blue Grass and a close second to National Treasure (Quality Treasure) in the GI Preakness. He was also a winner at four before retiring with just under a million in earnings. “There are certain races that seem to produce stallions over time and this horse won the Champagne like Scat Daddy, Practical Joke, Uncle Mo, Complexity and all these really good horse,” noted Fitzgibbon “$12,500 for a Champagne winner is very good and he looks the part. With him, we are always saying not to complicate things. If he gets foals that look like him, which you'd like to think he would, they will be very well-received.” Blazing Sevens heads to the stallion barn as 2019 GI Kentucky Derby winner Country House looks on | Sara Gordon Blazing Sevens has already taken the first step in the right direction by winning the support of a wide variety of breeders. “A lot of breeders came in to buy shares,” said Fitzgibbon. “Tracy Farmer, who bred him and sold him as a short yearling, ended up buying a share in him. The Capeks of Rodeo Creek Racing have retained a few shares as well. John Oxley and Mt. Brilliant have bought shares in him and we have a lot of other commercial guys around town like Hunter Valley Farm and Springhouse Farm. We also have Japanese shareholders in the horse, so we're delighted with all the support.” It has been a busy start to the breeding season at Darby Dan. Along with filling a rapidly growing book of mares for Blazing Sevens, the farm has welcomed two other new stallions. Shirl's Speight (Speightstown-Perfect Shirl, by Perfect Soul) boasts a standout pedigree as a Grade I winner out of a Breeders' Cup champion. His dam Perfect Shirl won the 2011 Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf, while Shirl's Speight himself captured the 2022 Maker's Mark Mile Stakes and was runner-up in the 2022 GI Breeders' Cup Mile. After racing from three to seven, Shirl's Speight will stand for $5,000 in his debut season. Gufo (Declaration of War-Floy, by Petionville), a fan favorite in New York for several seasons, has also joined the stallion ranks at Darby Dan after standing at Ballycroy Bloodstock in Ontario last year. Also standing for $5,000, the hard-knocking chestnut won or placed in 12 graded stakes and reeled off Grade I victories in the 2020 Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes and the 2021 and 2022 Sword Dancer Stakes. “Both of these horses had long careers and were very sound horses,” said Fitzgibbon. “We believe the pendulum is moving slowly every year more and more towards turf acceptance. The market is more accepting of it as each year goes by, so with both Shirl's Speight and Gufo, I think they fit the bill.” Last month, Darby Dan announced their new Breeder Reassurance Plan, which will extend the stud fee payment deadline to 60 days instead of the standard stand-and-nurse timeframe. Fitzgibbon said the incentive has seen a positive initial reaction from breeders. “We've moved the goalpost by introducing a 60-day payment due date,” he explained. “It's a great reassurance to the breeder that Darby Down as a stallion farm is insuring the foal's first couple of months of life. It has gone down really well with breeders and we've gotten a lot of praise from our competition. We're all in the same boat together. We're all trying to help each other, making sure that it's a vibrant business, and this is one thing that we've introduced that has really resonated with breeders.” The post Darby Dan Feeling Lucky with Reception of Blazing Sevens appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Alogo Analysis SA (ALOGO) will partner with the American Association of Equine Practitioners for the AAEP's pioneering wearable biometric sensor research project, which plans to track 100 2-year-olds until the end of the year, the tech company said via a press release on Wednesday. The initiative aims to offer an early warning system for identifying racehorses who are at an increased risk of musculoskeletal injury. Critical data collected during both high-speed exercise and everyday activities, will establish new benchmarks for early injury detection and prevention. “We are tremendously honored to have been selected by the AAEP to spearhead this transformative research initiative,” said ALOGO CEO David Deillon. “Protecting and enhancing equine health has always been our core mission since our founding.” The supporting organizations include: Breeders' Cup, Fasig-Tipton, The Foundation for the Horse, Keeneland, KTA, NYRA, NYTHA, Oak Tree Racing Association, OBS and TOBA.

It's the busiest time of the year for Len Green of the Green Group, a tax consulting service specializing in the horse racing industry. With Apr. 15 approaching, he probably should have stayed home in New Jersey to work. Then again, when you are the part-owner of a horse that looks to be bound for the GI Kentucky Derby, all bets are off. Green couldn't stay away as 3-year-old Sandman (Tapit) faced eight others in the GI Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park. The trip was worth it as Green was there to witness a 2 1/2-length win over Publisher (American Pharoah) that proved Sandman is a serious Derby contender. To talk about Sandman's triumph, and even to offer some tax tips, Green was the Gainesway Guest of the Week on this week's edition of the TDN Writers' Room podcast presented by Keeneland. “I actually went to Oaklawn,” Green said. “But I can't say that here on the podcast because my clients are going to say, 'I thought you were back doing our tax returns.'” Knowing that there are more than four weeks to go until the Derby and that a lot can go wrong during that period of time, Green is trying to stay pragmatic. Does he go to bed every night dreaming of a Kentucky Derby win? “Wouldn't it be great if I said yes?” Green said. “You have to keep things in proportion, as you know. Right now, I'm working eight days a week in tax season. So that's part of it. But number two, I really believe that we did a strategy to try to get to this point in time, including how to pick out the horse. I don't think any of these things just happen. You have to at least plan for them. Now, obviously, you have to have luck run you over. But there are just so many things that have happened along the way. So yeah, I'm excited, but I'll be more excited after we win the Derby.” Up until the Arkansas Derby, it had been a frustrating year for Sandman and his connections. He ran a terrific race in the GIII Southwest S., closing for second after a terrible start. He didn't have the same kick next out in the GII Rebel S. when finishing a non-threatening third. It finally came together in the Arkansas Derby. For Green, the win was bittersweet, as his wife Lois was not there to share it with him. She passed away on May 21, 2023 at the age of 84. “I would not be in this business if not for her and her encouragement,” Green said. “I have to tell you, she's still there with me.” In our “Fastest Horse of the Week,” segment, which is sponsored by WinStar, the team of Randy Moss, Bill Finley and Zoe Cadman went over the many reasons there are to breed to WinStar stallion Two Phil's. The fastest horse of the week was Banishing (Ghostzapper), who earned a 102 Beyer in his win in the GIII Oaklawn Mile. 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 reviewed last weekend's major Derby preps and looked ahead to this week's action, which is topped by the GI Toyota Blue Grass, the GI Santa Anita Derby and the GII Wood Memorial.

The National Stud's Lope Y Fernandez (Ire) was the latest first-season sire off the mark on Wednesday as his James Owen-trained daughter Social Exclusion (GB) dominated the three-runner five-furlong novice at Southwell. Quickest away under Harry Davies, The Gredley Family's 45,000gns Tattersalls October Book 2 purchase put in a rapid penultimate split to settle matters and hit the line with three lengths to spare over Museum Piece (GB) (Showcasing {GB}). “She knows her job well and was very professional,” Davies said of the 3-1 shot. “When I sat on her the other morning and I thought she was straight enough to go to Doncaster [for the Brocklesby], but they thought this was the easier option and she got an easy time of it. Each furlong was stronger and she took some pulling up. We should have some fun with her.” The post The Gredleys’ Social Exclusion First Winner For Lope Y Fernandez appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
