California-based trainer Mark Glatt is among the Washington Racing Hall of Fame inductees for 2025, according to a release from Emerald Downs Friday. Glatt, son of Washington trainer Ron Glatt, grew up not far from Emerald Downs and has found particular success at Santa Anita, where he is currently leading the trainer standings. Grade I winners conditioned by Glatt have included Dr. Schivel (Violence) and Collusion Illusion (Twirling Candy). Other members of the 2025 class of Washington's Hall of Fame include breeders Ron and Nina Hagen, whose El Dorado Farms have been named as Washington's leading breeder eight times; owner Paskey Dedomenico, whose contributions to Washington racing included a 20-year period where he bought more horses than any other buyer in the state, including three sales toppers, and farmed them out to numerous trainers; and Howard Belvoir's Wasserman (Cahill Road), the 2008 Longacres Mile winner and one of the state's most popular horses, who retired in 2013 as Emerald Downs's all-time leading earner with $575,024. The induction ceremony–the 20th annual Washington Hall of Fame ceremony held at Emerald Downs–will be held Saturday, Aug. 16, the eve of the 90th renewal of the $125,000 Longacres Mile.

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk Chanelle Dickie is in for a busy week. Well-known in Canterbury equestrian and re-homing circles, as well as being a HERO Educator and Ambassador, “The Pink Lady” is driving to the Horse of the Year (HOY) at Hastings with three Standardbreds ahead of their competition next Thursday. “We’ll be all done in one day – it’s full on.” HOY is by far the country’s biggest and most prestigious equestrian event spanning six days of competition and featuring around 1400 riders in a variety of different disciplines. Dickie’s trio – Eagles Nest, You Can Fly Arden and Does It On His Ear – will all be in the Inhand Standardbred category, with Eagles Nest and You Can Fly Arden also in the Ridden. Eagles Nest is the reigning Inhand Standardbred of the Year, having won the title for Julie DeFilippi and her family at HOY last year. “The DeFilippis very generously gave me “Louie”, as we call him, six weeks ago and I’ve been flat out trying to re-educate him to saddle.” “He had only been ridden a handful of times before I got him.” “He’s a work in progress, he’s very green and is learning the ropes. He’s not a winning chance but he won’t embarrass himself.” “And he could go back to back in the Inhand.” In the Inhand last year Dickie’s own horse, HERO graduate and Ambassador, You Can Fly Arden was second to Eagles Nest. “Fly is great, she’s the team captain.” Dickie is confident of her chances in both sections although she’s wary of another Canterbury HERO Educator and visitor, Taylah Dolan, and her horse Michelangelo in the Ridden. “My money would be on her,” says Dickie. Does It On His Ear meanwhile will only be in the Inhand. “He’s no good at cantering,” says Dickie, “but he could go very well.” Dickie expects around 10 standardbreds in both categories. Her last success was with Bronze Jay in the ridden standardbred section of HOY in 2016. She then took a break away from the sport, until last year. She’s also been successful in barrel racing on the rodeo circuit. Wearing her trademark pink outfits at most events- she’s hard to miss. She runs her own equestrian facility which offers horse grazing, full agistment and arena hire at Selwyn, just outside Christchurch. Last year she was a joint winner of the Care and Welfare Award at the first ever Entain Industry Excellence Awards. The award recognised in part the role she’s had in re-homing horses. She has re-educated and re-homed dozens of standardbreds and is a crucial part of HRNZ’s HERO programme (HERO stands for Harness Education and Rehoming Opportunities). While HOY promises to be a “crazy” time Dickie will get home only to head off again with another truckload of horses to a rodeo in Fairlie in South Canterbury. “Why do I do it to myself?” View the full article

The Jockeys' Guild on Friday issued a statement defending jockey Luan Machado one day after news broke that the 10-year veteran rider was being sued in a Kentucky court by the owner and breeder of a horse he rode at Churchill Downs in November who lost by a neck but likely would have won if Machado hadn't prematurely geared him down with a 2 1/2-length lead inside the eighth pole. The Guild's press release Feb. 28 stated that the allegations asserted against Machado “are utterly baseless.” The Guild's statement continued: “They are also dangerous. The Kentucky legislature has entrusted the stewards of the Kentucky Horse Racing & Gaming Corporation with responsibility for determining if there has been a violation of the racing rules. The stewards made such a determination here and imposed a fine and suspension on Mr. Machado, which he paid and has served. There is absolutely no basis for private parties to try to undermine the stewards' statutorily-entrusted decision by supplanting it with their own judgment as to what the appropriate penalty should be.” As reported Feb. 27 by Ray Paulick of the Paulick Report, “A complaint filed in Jefferson Circuit Court by Gray V Train Racing and Westbrook Stables, the respective owner and breeder of Hold My Bourbon (Anchor Down), alleges Machado breached his contract and showed negligence as a licensed professional jockey by failing to ride Hold My Bourbon to the finish line 'with full effort' in the Nov. 28 allowance race.” Shortly after the incident, Churchill Downs stewards suspended Machado four days and fined him $1,000 for “easing up on his mount approaching the finish without adequate cause.” The gaffe stood at the time because just six weeks earlier, Machado had been suspended for three days and fined $2,500 for easing up at the alternate sixteenth-pole finish wire at Keeneland Race Course, costing his mount, who had been clear by open lengths in that Oct. 16 race, a near-certain victory. The Paulick Report story stated that the plaintiffs (Angela Lewis, the registered agent for Gray V Train Racing, and Todd and Angela Lewis, the registered agents for Westbrook Stables) are alleging “professional negligence” because Machado purportedly “failed to perform according to the expectations of his profession.” According to the Paulick Report, “The plaintiffs say Machado's actions cost them $47,560 in lost purse money and $3,000 in Kentucky Thoroughbred Breeders Incentive Funds,” using the difference between first- and second-place purse winnings as the basis. The Paulick Report stated that the plaintiffs are further alleging that they have “suffered unliquidated damages” and other “consequential damages.” Efforts to reach Machado for comment prior to deadline for this story were not successful.

Horse Racing Nation and writer Ron Flatter is reporting that GI Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike (Keen Ice) has been sold to a group that includes, among others, former trainer Eric Reed. Reed and former owner Rick Dawson had a falling out over the rights to a movie about Rich Strike, Reed and his father. Dawson fired Reed and gave the horse to Bill Mott, who was unable to get him back to the races. “I'm happy,” Reed told Horse Racing Nation. “I had to write off ever even putting my eyes on him, really. We might not have him for running, but if he turns out to be a good enough sire, we'll always be proud of him.” According to the report, the group is led by owner Ken Tyson, who plans to move Rich Strike out of Pennsylvania and stand him in New York. A farm was not named in the Horse Racing Nation report, but a stud fee of $6,500 was. “Going to New York, I don't think he could compete with the Kentucky (sires) right off the bat,” Tyson told Flatter. “He could have two years ago when he finished the Derby. With the delay, too many big guys have come in since then, so I think New York is the best place to go right now.” The post Report: Rich Strike Sold to Ownership Group that Includes Former Trainer Reed appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

'TDN Rising Star' Ferocious (Flatter), second in both the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity and the GI Hopeful Stakes last year, reportedly has a muscle tear and has been removed from consideration for the May 3 GI Kentucky Derby. Trainer Gustavo Delgado's son, Gustavo Delgado, Jr., told the Daily Racing Form that while the injury was minor, it would require time to heal. Owned by JR Ranch, Marquee Bloodstock, High Step Racing, and OGMA Investments, LLC, Ferocious has made one start in 2025, resulting in a fourth Feb. 1 in the GIII Holy Bull Stakes won by Burnham Square (Liam's Map). A $1.3-million OBS 2-year-old, Ferocious had reportedly been targeting the Mar. 29 GI Florida Derby.

Multiple grade-1 placed Ferocious is off the Kentucky Derby (G1) trail with a muscle tear injury possibly sustained during the Feb. 1 Holy Bull Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream Park. View the full article

Flood Zone (c, 3, Frosted–Curls for Girls, by Curlin) is heading straight into the deep end. Purchased privately by Wathnan Racing and transferred to Brad Cox following a flashy maiden win versus Florida-breds going 6 1/2 furlongs at second asking at Gulfstream Park Jan. 4, the bay will stretch to a one-turn mile for Saturday's GIII Gotham Stakes at the Big A. The Gotham, co-headlined by unbeaten New York-breds 'TDN Rising Star' Sand Devil (Violence) and Sacrosanct (Honest Mischief), offers 105 points (50-25-15-10-5) on the road to the GI Kentucky Derby. Flood Zone has posted three workouts at Cox's Payson Park base since changing hands, including a five-furlong breeze in 1:02 2/5 (2/5) Feb. 21. He is listed at a generous 12-1 on David Aragona's morning line. “Purchased him privately and he's been with Brad for a little while now and he's been working well,” said Case Clay, Wathnan's Racing Manager, USA. “Fingers crossed for the Gotham.” Flood Zone, with @LuguJr, wins race 8, two victories today for trainer @VictorEBarboza. #GulfstreamPark #ChampionshipMeet pic.twitter.com/3YkoaK4DDh — Gulfstream Park (@GulfstreamPark) January 4, 2025 After briefly looking defeated as they straightened, Flood Zone battled back gamely in the stretch to put away the favorite and powered home impressively from there to graduate by 5 1/4 lengths, good for an 85 Beyer Speed Figure. He was previously a close second following a wide trip on debut Dec. 7. Flood Zone's winning dam is a half-sister to GSW Sue's Good (Woodman), dam of GI Ogden Phipps H. heroine Tiz Miz Sue (Tiznow) and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint winner Bulletin (City Zip); and MSW & MGSP Easyfromthegitgo (Dehere). The $45,000 OBS June graduate (:21 3/5) was previously campaigned in partnership by Big Frank Stable, Enrico Ascione, Guy Mancini and Veb Racing Stable Corp, and trained by Victor Barboza, Jr. “He's out of a Curlin mare, time will tell, but he looks like he'll stretch out,” Clay said. “The Gotham was the next logical step going a mile.” Clay added, “We're always looking for prospects, and, in America, Wathnan Racing is focusing on dirt racing.” Launched in October 2022, Wathnan Racing is the nom-de-course of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. Wathnan Racing will also be well-represented by Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}) in Saturday's GI Santa Anita Handicap and Immensitude (Fr) (Lawman {Fr}) in the GIII The Very One S. on the GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth undercard at Gulfstream. Hit Show has won a trio of graded stakes for Wathnan Racing and Cox since a private purchase last summer and heads to the Big 'Cap following a win in the GIII Louisiana S. at Fair Grounds Jan. 18. Immensitude, a close second in the GIII Waya S. and third in the GIII Long Island S. last fall, kicks off her 5-year-old campaign for Bill Mott. Case Clay | Keeneland “Big weekend, all tough races,” Clay said. “Our main focus in America is to try do well on dirt, and two turns, especially.” The sidelined Subsanador (Arg) (Fortify) has certainly done just that for the Al Thani family's global operation, led by a heart-stopping win in the inaugural GI California Crown S. at Santa Anita last September. Courage Mon Ami (GB) (Frankel {GB}) (2023 G1 Gold Cup) and Kind of Blue (GB) (Blue Point {Ire}) (2024 G1 British Champions Sprint) have both carried Wathnan's colors to Group 1 victories at Ascot, respectively. “That was a great win for Wathnan Racing in the California Crown,” Clay said. “He came up with an ankle before the Breeders' Cup and he still needs some more time. Try and get him healed up, but it could take a while. Maybe in the fall we'll get him geared up again. He's a bit older, but the focus is to race him if we can.” The post Purchased Privately by Wathnan Racing, Gotham Up Next for Sharp Maiden Winner Flood Zone appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Two-time Hong Kong Champion Trainer David Hayes has been enjoying a strong season with his runners, and on the back of a trio of Group 1 victories courtesy of Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress {NZ}), is aiming to add the HK$13-million Hong Kong Classic Cup over 1800 metres with either Rubylot (Aus) (Rubick {Aus}) or Hong Kong debuter and G1 South African Derby-placed Mondial (SAf) (Flower Alley). The former is the most experience runner in the field with 17 Hong Kong starts, good for five wins. Already a winner over 1000m, 1200m, and 1400m, the gelding has yet to score at the distance of the Classic Cup, but Hayes, who won this with Resfa (Arg) (Fitzcarraldo {Arg}) in 1999, is unperturbed. Rubylot ran sixth in the first leg of the Four-Year-Old Classic Series, the Hong Kong Classic Mile. “He's going well, he really is going well. He's trialled well between runs and he's crying out for 1800 metres,” Hayes said. “He finished well last start and I think he's going to run well.” The first, second, and third from the Hong Kong Classic Mile run back, in the diminutive My Wish (Aus) (Flying Artie {Aus}), Divano (Aus) (Brave Smash {Jpn}), and beaten favourite Packing Hermod (Aus) (Rubick {Aus}). The latter has won four times in Hong Kong. Of My Wish, trainer Mark Newnham said, “I've been really pleased with him. He's come through the Classic Mile in good shape, held his condition well. He's been able to follow the same programme that he has had pretty much all season with the month between runs with an easy trial in between. He'll have one gallop later in the week, so the preparation is the same as it has been the whole way through and he's in good form.” The post Rubylot To Sparkle For Hayes In Hong Kong Classic Cup? appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The Racing Rewards Easter Showcase will return to Addington Raceway for a fourth time in 2025. Terms and conditions for the Showcase have been approved by Harness Racing New Zealand with five $30,000 races confirmed for Saturday, April 19. The series will be for 4Y0 and older horses, rated 57 and below on January 1,2025 with three races for the pacers (capacity field of 14) and two for the trotters (capacity field of 16). To qualify for the “finals” horses have to have had a minimum of five starts between January 1 and April 13. Within the qualification period each horse gets a “Racing Rewards Score”. It is the total of the number of wins (x 1) multiplied by the number of seconds (x 0.5), the number of thirds (x 0.33) and the number of fourths (x 0.25). The top 42 ranked pacers nominated will be selected for three races (each with 14 starters) while there will be two trotting races with maximum fields of 16. The series started in 2022 as the RATTO series and has evolved into the Easter Showcase. Such has been its success that when Amarla won her race in 2023 co-trainer Kendra Gill described it as “like winning the New Zealand Cup.” Last year there were six races. The winners were : Pacing – Judgement Bay, Raging Whitebait, Dalton Shard and Flyaway Trotting – Who’s Queen and Fiery Bandito To see the Terms and Conditions click here View the full article

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk It could be racing’s perfect marriage. Dunstan Horse Feeds has just secured the eighth and final slot for the $600,000 TAB Trot at Cambridge’s Night of Champions on April 4 – and all they need is a horse. And Queensland trainer Graham Dwyer reckons in Not As Promised he has the horse for the big race – and all he needs is a slot. So could be a deal be done? Not so fast, says Dunstan’s founder/director Dave Smith. “We have a couple on our radar,” says Smith, “without giving anything away.” “Now this has been put together we will work on what we decide to do.” Dunstan has been involved in the Night of Champions before. They had Mach Shard in the $1m The Race last year, with Kango and Pembrook Playboy (scratched) before that. Dunstan will also have the naming rights for the Group 2 Dunstan Horse Feeds Trotters Flying Mile a week before the TAB Trot at Cambridge on Friday, March 28. “Dunstan is a wonderful supporter of the industry and it’s great to have them on board again and as part of our key event,” says Cambridge Raceway’s Chief Executive Dave Branch. While Smith is open minded about his trotter of choice for the big race, Dwyer is confident his star five-year-old is up to the job. “He’s a serious horse who’s on the up,” Dwyer told Australian harness racing pundit Paul Campbell, “I think the distance (2200 metres) would suit him and if we got in we’d give it a shake.” Not As Promised did not race from November 2023 to January this year because of injury but has come back with a roar, winning five of seven starts at Albion Park in Brisbane. He’s raced in this country once before, with a fourth behind Sunnys Sister in the 2023 Group 1 New Zealand Trotting Derby at Addington. Overall he’s won 14 from 23 starts Smith meanwhile says they are no rush to confirm their runner as he prepares to take on the likes of Oscar Bonavena, Muscle Mountain, Bet N Win and The Locomotive. “We believe the winner is still out there,” he says.

By Michael Guerin Cran Dalgety has been here before. This time last year in fact with a filly who has so many similarities to his new rave pacer Beside Me. The three-year-old is causing heads to turn every time she steps on the track, the latest when she thrashed older opponents by five lengths at Addington on Friday night courtesy of a 56-second last 800m in the Breckon Farms Thanks Buyers Mobile Pace. A big, strong daughter of Downbytheseaside and former outstanding filly Dream About Me, Beside Me is bred to be good and is. How good we will find out in April when she heads north for fillies features culminating in the Pascoes Northern Oaks on April 25. Dalgety, wife Chrissie and son and driver Carter has been in this exact position last year when All You Need Is Me stormed through the grades and won the Oaks at Alexandra Park, only to get ill and struggle to recapture that form this season. Just like All You Need Is Me, Beside Me is owned by Charles Joseph Ltd, a company set up for members of the late great man’s family to race some of the breed. So the two fillies have plenty in common but Dalgety says one big difference. “All You Need Is Me is a good mare and was a very good filly but she had a few issues which horses can get racing at the highest level whereas I don’t think we will see those with this filly. “She has yet to win an Oaks like the other filly has but she is bigger and stronger and I am sure she will handle whatever we throw at her.” That is a decent warning shot for trainers of other good three-year-old as Beside Me looks to have real x-factor and if she handles the right-handed Alexandra Park she is the one to beat in the Oaks, for which she is now the $2.20 futures favourite. She was one of two winners on the night for the Dalgetys and while Captain Commodore’s only came in a maiden race, the style in which he sat parked to win easily suggests he will be winning again soon. The highlight of the night at Addington was the return of Bet N Win in the $40,000 Lamb And Hayward Classic and he didn’t disappoint. He was driven conservatively early by Bob Butt as his connections had suggested he would be but he had a lot harder run over the last lap yet was still too good. “The fact he was able to beat One Over All, who has been one of the form trotters so far this year, is very heartening for us heading forward,” says co-trainer David White. Bet N Win will return for the Fred Shaw NZ Trotting Champs in two weeks and then head north to be aimed at the $600,000 TAB Trot at Cambridge on April 4. The feature pace was taken out by the under-rated Dalton Shard who grabbed Bazooka late in a race set up for the swoopers after a hot early tempo that saw surprise favourite Beach Ball drop out after leading. The race was so upside down the open class horses paced their last 400m in an incredibly slow 30.2 seconds. Group 3 win for American Muscle at Alexandra Park By Michael Guerin American Muscle may have got the career highlight win to cap a great summer for her family on Friday night but she is anything but finished on the track. That is the assessment from co-trainer Michelle Wallis after she and husband Bernie Hackett continued a great last six months in Alexandra Park’s big money trots when the six-year-old held out stablemate Faith In Manchester in the $40,000 Fisken And Sons Northern Trotting Breeders Stakes. While American Muscle already had time-related black type and a Group 3 placing to her name she is now a Group 3 winner among her 10 career victories, which counts for something at future yearling sales. Especially when your dam is the newly-crowned Trotting Broodmare of the Year in Liberty City, also the dam of Empire City and Atlantic City, two of our best young trotting fillies in recent years. But while American Muscle’s manners and ability have guaranteed her a broodmare career for her owners and breeders Peter and Janet Argus, she will remain a racehorse. “She really deserved that tonight,” said Wallis. “But I don’t think they will be making any plans to retire her. “I’d say they will keep racing her as long as she is racing well.” While the win continued a hot streak for the Wallis/Hackett stable in these type of races the punter’s favourite Belle Neige finished near last. “She came back in with a very elevated heart rate so something clearly wasn’t right with her,” said Wallis. The stable won the trot before too with Hillbilly Blues, who made up for an early gallop when favourite last week to trot faultlessly for former trainer Tony Herlihy. Hillbilly Blues trotted his last 800m in 57.9 seconds to suggest he is way better than this grade. “He was actually bought and trained by Tony but he thought he’d be better off being beach trained so sent him out to us,” said Wallis. Away from their twin trotting wins it was two Mark and Nathan Purdon-trained three-year-old pacers who scored the other most impressive wins of the night. Without You started the ball rolling in the first race when she beat her older rivals by six lengths pacing 2:40 for the 2200m, suggesting she could be a force in the Northern Oaks in two months. Later her stablemate Rubira was stunning coming from last at the 400m to win the IRT. Your Horse. Our Passion Mobile Pace, storming past of likes of Ohoka Connor and Greased Lightnin, with the second placed Colonel Lincoln all but denying the winner as he flew home with him. The same punters who would have been abusing Purdon 400m earlier were calling him a genius after the win. “He has always been a good horse but that was a big win tonight considering the opposition,” said Purdon. Rubira will have the Harness Million in three weeks and the Northern Derby a month after, both in the considerable shadow of Marketplace. Other winners on Friday night saw Romeo Foxtrot keep winning for red hot junior driver Harrison Orange while Carrera Hombre left maidens like a three-year-old with a decent future for trainer Brian And Gareth Hughes.
