Malt Time will contest the Royal Descent Stakes (1400m) at Ellerslie on Boxing Day. Photo: Therese Davis (Race Images) Classy mare Malt Time will have a luxury weight to carry among her female counterparts in Thursday’s Royal Descent Stakes (1400m) at Ellerslie. After solid performances in the Group 1 Arrowfield Stud Plate (1400m) and Group 1 Livamol Classic (2040m) through the spring, the Shaun and Emma Clotworthy-trained galloper lined up among the best of the country’s sprinters in the Group 3 Concorde Stakes (1200m), where she far from disgraced herself finishing less than two lengths from Babylon Berlin. “She seems to have improved off the Concorde run, that was fresh-up against good sprinters and she’s come through it well,” Shaun Clotworthy said. “She had a bit of work at the beach and went to Ellerslie for a gallop last Thursday, so she’s going to strip a bit fitter and we’re happy with her.” The daughter of Adelaide is a multiple Group One performer currently rated 105, and at the set-weights and penalties conditions, she will carry just 55kg, decreased a further two kilograms by her regular rider and in-form apprentice Ace Lawson-Carroll. “She gets into the race well at set weights and penalties, and she can also utilise Ace’s two-kilo claim, which made the race even more attractive,” Clotworthy said. Horse racing bookmakers markets are reflective of her weight advantage in the Boxing Day feature, with bookmakers opening Malt Time a $3.20 favourite ahead of Taranaki visitor Sumi ($5), and Group Three winner Karman Line ($6). Now an eight-year-old mare, the end of Malt Time’s successful racing career is imminent as she scanned in-foal to Cambridge Stud’s young shuttle stallion Hello Youmzain. However, before the curtain comes down, the Clotworthy’s are eyeing another shot at an elusive Group One crown in the Thorndon Mile (1600m) at Trentham next month. “She’ll either stay at the 1400 and go to the Westbury Classic (Group 2), or we’ll step up and go to the Thorndon Mile,” he said. “At this stage, we’re probably leaning towards the mile.” Horse racing news View the full article

As many look forward to enjoying their Christmas break, harness racing is gearing up for one of its busiest times – there will be nine meetings between Boxing Day and January 6, including Alexandra Park’s premier Auckland Cup meeting on New Year’s Eve. Westport on Boxing Day is a tried and true favourite, highlighted by the Frank Dooley Memorial Westport Cup (3.10pm) with its second day on December 28. Between the two meetings are 12 races on the grass at Gore including the Jaccka Lodge Gore Trotting Cup and the Mataura Licensing Trust Gore Pacing Cup. Motukarara on December 29 is always a crowd pleaser and then there’s Reefton on December 30 before Auckland’s big New Year’s Eve featuring the $250,000 Auckland Cup, the $100,000 National Trot and two $35,000 Northern Metro Finals. Into the New Year Omakau’s popular annual meeting kicks off the Central Otago circuit on January 2 followed by Roxburgh (January 4) and Cromwell (January 6).

Osteria will contest Thursday’s Group 2 Auckland Guineas (1400m) at Ellerslie. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Osteria was only upstaged by his talented older stablemate last time out, and back in his own age group, the gelding will be a contender in Thursday’s Group 2 Auckland Guineas (1400m) at Ellerslie. The progressive son of Ribchester broke his maiden comfortably at Pukekohe in November, putting a space on subsequent winners Tycoon Prince and Hard Roca. Stepping out at Ellerslie for the first time, he was beaten less than a length by Group Three-performing mare Irish Legacy, a performance that gave trainers Roger James and Robert Wellwood confidence to push on to the Guineas distance. “He’s come on really well and I’m quite looking forward to seeing him over 1400m,” Wellwood said. “He’s been a little bit of a hard-going horse, but in his last two or three runs he’s been really good. We’ve got the confidence to step him up to 1400m now, and back against his age group will be suitable, albeit there are a few really nice horses. “In saying that, I think he deserves his place in the field.” Masa Hashizume will take the ride aboard Osteria in the feature, having barrier 10 of 11 to contend with. “We’ll see how he jumps, but the gate is the niggle,” Wellwood said. “We’ll probably have to ride him quietly from there.” The royally bred Irish Legacy will also step out on Boxing Day. Faring far better in the barrier draw, the daughter of I Am Invincible will jump from barrier three in the Rating 75 contest, aiming to go back-to-back after her effortless win at the course on December 7. “She was very impressive, she’s come through it well and she’s a bigger, stronger horse this time in as a four-year-old,” Wellwood said. “She’s drawn well and has ticked every box. “If we could see what we saw last time we would be pretty happy, she’s quite full-on and the big thing with her is getting her racing relaxed. She clearly steps up in grade and it’s a pretty nice field on Thursday, but if she’s racing kindly and hitting the line strong, that gives us confidence to step out to 1400 perhaps next start.” Later on the card, Hasstobeawinner will carry a luxury weight, by his standards, in the Stella Artois 1500 Championship Final (1500m). There are few horses that have shown the consistency of Hasstobeawinner in his career, and while only winning one race, the gelding has finished in the first three on 10 occasions, including a narrow miss in the $350,000 Sir Patrick Hogan Karapiro Classic (1600m) last term. “He’s such an honest horse and always puts his best foot forward,” Wellwood said. “He’s been going well and I’m really looking forward to seeing him back in the weights, he gets 55kg in this race and he hasn’t had that on his back in a long time. I’m sure he’ll try his guts out again.” Completing the Kingsclere contingent will be Dionysus, a multiple Group Three winner taking on the Group 1 Zabeel Classic (2050m). The seven-year-old finished midfield in the Group 1 Livamol Classic (2040m) in October before heading to Australia, where he was sixth in the Listed Beauford (2300m) before a disappointing performance in the Listed ATC Cup (2000m). Returning back to Cambridge, Dionysus will now be targeted towards the Group 3 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2400m) the following week, a race he won two years ago. “He was probably a bit disappointing in Australia and the weight-for-age 2000m isn’t all that suitable, but we want to give him a run so he’s rock-hard ready for the Queen Elizabeth Cup on New Year’s Day,” Wellwood said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he showed a bit of cheek, but really, it’s a run to get him ready for that race.” Horse racing news View the full article

Dr. Patrick F. Sheehy, a retired oncologist and hematologist who owned racehorses and is best known for campaigning the overachieving sprinter Kinsale King, a gelding who flourished into an unlikely Group 1 winner in Dubai in 2010 after starting his career as a California-based maiden-claimer, has died. The trainer Carl O'Callaghan, who transformed the sore-footed Kinsale King into an international stakes winner, on Monday confirmed the passing of his boss and mentor to TDN. He said Sheehy, who was in his early 80s, had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease and dementia. O'Callaghan said Sheehy died Dec. 21 at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, California, where he had practiced medicine for more than five decades. “He was very much a father figure to me and one of my best friends,” O'Callaghan said. “I spoke to him every single day since 2009, sometimes three, four, five times a day, and it was not necessarily phone calls about horses all the time. But he loved the horses, and California racing, and the horses were in his blood. “I flew out to California last Sunday to be with him,” O'Callaghan said. “I spent a day and a half with him in the hospital. He was a very, very good cancer doctor. I mean extremely good, one of the best, and everybody loved him at the clinic. They all knew who he was, but he was never cocky about it. He was just a normal person. He was a good man, and he'll be greatly missed.” The bond between Sheehy and O'Callaghan–as chronicled through the ups and downs of Kinsale King's career–was featured in a 2016 documentary titled “Chasing the Win” that was co-directed by Sheehy's daughter, Laura Sheehy. The film details how the two Irish immigrants from different generations forged a connection over their shared passion for Thoroughbreds, which started when Sheehy gave O'Callaghan–a former assistant and exercise rider for trainer Todd Pletcher who had at one time been so down on his luck that he was homeless–a chance to train his racing stable. Kinsale King had won only a maiden race at Santa Anita for Sheehy before he was turned over to O'Callaghan in 2009. With special attention to the gelding's cracked hooves (and an Irish-themed diet that included four pints of Guinness a day for Kinsale King), the then-4-year-old won an allowance race, the GIII Vernon Underwood S. at Hollywood Park, and then the GII Palos Verdes H. at Santa Anita all in succession in 2009-10, establishing himself as a budding West Coast sprinter. But Kinsale King still seemed to be in over his head, competition-wise, before earning a trip overseas and running away with the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen S. Kinsale King later targeted other high-profile overseas stakes at Royal Ascot in England and back home in America in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint, but could not sustain his mojo and winning ways in high-profile stakes. In 2013, Sheehy retired the gelding, who stayed on in O'Callaghan's stable as a pony before eventually giving show jumping a try in his second career, with O'Callaghan in the saddle. “Dr. Sheehy gave me a chance when nobody did,” said O'Callaghan. “He was the very first person who put a horse in my barn, and once I got going for him, we came across Kinsale King when they were just about to retire him. And that horse took us on a journey. He brought my family together from back home [in Ireland] close to all of his family, and the bond got real close over the horse.” When O'Callaghan transferred his racing stable from California to Pennsylvania in 2016, he said Sheehy sent a few horses along with his to compete in the mid-Atlantic region. After the 2020 pandemic, O'Callaghan said, Sheehy consolidated what was left of his California racing stock to Pennsylvania, but was down to owning just a single horse at the time of his death on Saturday. O'Callaghan told TDN that Sheehy's family will have private funeral services, but that a celebration of Sheehy's life will be planned at a later date.

The University of Kentucky's Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory was assigned interim laboratory accreditation after the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium lifted its suspension of the lab Tuesday. The lab's suspension was triggered in March for what the RMTC termed nonconformities associated with its Laboratory Code of Standards, Section 2.4.9.2. The suspension was lifted after the Horserace Testing Laboratory Committee, which oversees the RMTC's Laboratory Accreditation Program, completed its review of the UK-EACL's response and associated corrective actions and determined the lab had successfully fulfilled the designated requirements for accreditation reinstatement and is in compliance with RMTC's Laboratory Code of Standards. UK-EACL has been assigned Interim RMTC laboratory accreditation with a one-year monitoring period, after which the lab will be eligible for full accreditation. “The Racing Medication and Testing Consortium continues to serve the racing industry through the critical role of its Laboratory Accreditation Program,” said RMTC Executive Director Dr. Michael Hardy. “The importance of such a program is to assess and validate laboratory capabilities which support industry regulation of anti-doping and medication control programs.” The post UK Lab Receives Interim Accreditation appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Racing returns to Santa Anita Park Thursday with a stakes-packed card that includes three Grade I races interspersed with three Grade II events. The Arcadia track's traditional Boxing Day feature, the GI Malibu Stakes has attracted a field of eight, with returning GI Kentucky Derby hero Mystik Dan (Goldencents) garnering most of the pre-race headlines. Off since finishing eighth in the GI Belmont Stakes in June, the bay colt is 5-2 on the morning line and breaks from post six. He is cutting back to seven furlongs and makes his first start at less than a mile since breaking his maiden at 5 1/2 furlongs in November 2023. Bentornato (Valiant Minister), the 3-1 second choice on the Malibu morning line, captured the GII Gallant Bob Stakes in September and was most recently second, beaten just a half-length by Straight No Chaser (Speightster), in the Nov. 2 GI Breeders' Cup Sprint. Hope Road (Quality Road), the 3-1 morning-line favorite, takes a four-race win streak into the GI La Brea Stakes. The Cicero Farms homebred comes into the seven-furlong race off a pair of graded scores over a mile at Del Mar in the Aug. 31 GIII Torrey Pines Stakes and Nov. 2 GIII Bayakoa Stakes. Hope Road is one of four Bob Baffert trainees in the La Brea. The trainer will also saddle two-time Grade III winner Kinza (Carpe Diem), making her first start since finishing second in the Apr. 6 GII Santa Anita Oaks, and promising allowance winners Cavalieri (Nyquist) and Splendora (Audible). John Gallegos's homebred One Magic Philly (Good Magic), the 4-1 second choice in the La Brea, won the Oct. 5 GIII Chillingworth Stakes in October and put forth a good effort when sixth in the Nov. 2 GI Breeders' Cup F/M Sprint last time out. Santa Anita's trio of Grade I events is rounded out by the GI American Oaks, where Cherie DeVaux saddles 7-5 morning-line favorite She Feels Pretty (Karakontie {Jpn}). The Lael Stables colorbearer already has a pair of top-level victories to her credit. She won the 2023 GI Natalma Stakes and romped to a six-length victory in the GI Queen Elizabeth Challenge Cup at Keeneland in her most recent start Oct. 12. Thursday's graded-stakes menu at Santa Anita also includes the first running of the GII Laffit Pincay, Jr. Stakes, previously the track's San Antonio Stakes. Pincay joins fellow Hall of Fame jockeys Bill Shoemaker and Eddie Delahoussaye with a Santa Anita stakes race named in their honor. “It really means a lot,” the 77-year-old Pincay said. “I remember when Shoemaker and Delahoussaye had a stakes named for them and I thought that was very special. Now I get the chance to have one in my name.” The 1 1/16-mile race attracted a field of eight runners led by tepid 3-1 morning-line favorite Katonah (Klimt). Trained by Chief Stipe O'Neill, Katonah exits a fifth-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Del Mar and he gets a touch of class relief following three consecutive Grade I efforts. Johannes (Nyquist) is the 4-5 morning-line favorite in the GII San Gabriel Stakes and King of Gosford (GB) (Zoustar {Aus}) is the 6-5 morning-line favorite in the GII Mathis Mile Stakes.

By Brigette Solomon The Cambridge Pacers Christmas Cup promises plenty of action today with South Island-based drivers Sam Ottley and Carter Dalgety both engaged to drive strong chances as they continue their quests for driving milestones. Ottley aims to be the first woman to achieve 100 driving wins in a 12-month season and drives the Arna Donnelly-trained Little Spike, while Dalgety drives Fernetti who is trained by his parents Cran and Chrissie Dalgety, and he is vying for the New Zealand Junior Drivers Championship title. Little Spike starts the 2700 metre race (4.57pm) off a 20 metre handicap at what will be the three-year-old’s first standing start. “He went super last start but being his first standing start it’s always a bit of a question mark, although he’s the only one off 20 metres which isn’t too bad,” says Ottley, “he’s a very nice horse but there’s a few other decent ones in there too.” The Terror To Love gelding was a superb winner at Alexandra Park last start when he made a wide run from well back in the field to flash home down the extreme outside for an emphatic 2.75 length victory. It was the gelding’s fifth win from just 13 starts. “I’m pretty lucky to be driving Arna’s horses tonight and they’re all nice horses which is even better, I think The Surfer (R7) is also another reasonable chance,” says Ottley, “Arna sort of persuaded me it was worth coming up to drive and give chasing the 100 wins in a season a good go since I’m so close to it as I was fairly diplomatic about it initially and wasn’t sure it was achievable.” “There’s going to be plenty of travelling between now and the end of the year, but I absolutely love this time of the year, the racing is great and I’ll give it a good go at getting to 100 wins but at the end of the day, what will be will be.” The Dalgety runner Fernetti starts the race from three on the 10 metre line and was also a last start winner at Alexandra Park when taking out a Northern Metro Pacers Series Heat on December 13. “The stand will be a query although I don’t mind being off 10 metres on him,” says Dalgety, “he’s sensible and clean gaited so hopefully he can get away well as he likes to be up on the speed.” “Little Spike and The Big Lebowski both go pretty good and have been racing well so it won’t be easy, but the run will benefit him heading to the Northern Metro Series Final on New Years Eve.” The early race favourite in the Cambridge Christmas Pacers Cup is the Ray Green-trained The Big Lebowski ($2.80) who will have a tough ask to overcome a 35 metre handicap. As well as Fernetti, Dalgety also drives the Tate Hopkins-trained runners Major Tommy (R6) and Lou Will (R4), and Skee Princess (R1) who is locally trained at Cambridge by Tim Hall. “With Fernetti racing in the north and entered at Cambridge I thought it was worth coming up and trying to get a few more drives which I’ve been lucky enough to get a few,” says Dalgety, “it was a big help with having a big day getting four winners at Invercargill last week as it’s going to be a tight battle for the Junior Premiership and I know Wilson (House) has a pretty good book in the days ahead.” Dalgety is currently at the top of the leader board with 64 wins, with Sam Thornley second on 62 wins, and Wilson House third on 58 wins. The racing action gets underway today with the first race at 1.00pm. View the full article

Jack Bolton and Nico Case, friends since they were teenagers attending the same prep school, are young and they are smart. Bolton is a senior at USC and Case just graduated from MIT. For many such college graduates that might mean entering the work world with an eye on becoming a CEO or a lawyer or perhaps starting a hedge fund or doing something else on Wall Street. Not Bolton and Case. They have decided to get involved in the horse racing business. The two are partners in Triple Crown Trading, a recently launched racing syndicate that will, like Myracehorse.com, offer micro shares in horses at affordable prices. But there's more. Investors in Triple Crown trading will be able to buy and sell their shares on a secondary market. If someone paid $300 for a share in an Into Mischief colt and that colt breaks his maiden by a dozen lengths, the partners can try to cash in and sell his or her share on Triple Crown Trading's secondary market at a profit. If that same horse loses by 10 lengths, then the investor might have seen enough and dump their shares at a loss. In their partners, they have an impressive line-up working with them. The normal course of action will be to buy into horses purchased at the sales by some combination of Lane's End, Woodford Racing and Belladonna Racing. Triple Crown Racing's first offering is now available on its website. The colt's name is Savion (Tapit), who is an unraced soon-to-be 3-year-old. He was purchased for $450,000 at Keeneland September by Belladonna Racing. Triple Crown Trading owns 20% of the horse. For this offering, the required minimum investment is $2,500, with shares selling for $500 each. Still dealing with issues that all such start-ups have to deal with, Triple Crown Trading intends to lower the minimum costs with additional horses it buys into. Bolton said the buy-in price for subsequent offerings should be around $100. Savion will be trained by Cherie DeVaux. If all of this sounds a lot like Myracehorse, that's because it is. They developed the concept of selling microshares and have been very successful. Their recent purchases include GI Preakness Stakes winner Seize the Grey (Arrogate) and GI Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Straight No Chaser (Speightster). “Horse racing is generally only accessible to people with massive amounts of wealth,” Bowden said. “The fact of the matter is that the average American or the average horse racing fan can't afford to get involved. We want these people to get affiliated with the industry in the same way that people with far more money than them do. We think creating a marketplace for shares that are reasonably priced that the average individual can get in on without emptying their pockets is the way to go. That's something that should make the sport more fun for everyone involved.” Bolton said that the costs involved with owning a horse with Triple Crown Trading versus owning a Myracehorse horse will be about 20% less. “[Myracehorse] has this lane all to themselves,” said Lane's End's Bill Farish. “There shouldn't be a monopoly when it comes to the smaller investors. Jack' s intention is to improve on their model.” “Myracehorse has seen very impressive growth and is doing very well as a company,” Bolton said. “We saw what they were doing and saw some opportunities to improve on that. What sets us apart will be the secondary market.” Bolton and Case are still trying to iron out some issues with the SEC, and, for that reason, there will not be a secondary market for shares in Savion, who is expected to make his debut in February or March. But they expect those matters to be cleaned up quickly and that it won't be long before the secondary market is up and running. “After this offering, we plan to raise a little bit of money and go out and create a platform that will allow people to buy and sell their shares,” Bolton said. “Our long-term vision is liquidity. Rather than bet on a race, you can invest in a share and then sell it afterwards or hold for a longer period and customize your portfolio. Nico kind of developed the second part of that ideal. We asked ourselves how are we going to make this better and that's when we saw this as the solution.” On the home page of their website reads the slogan, “Don't Bet. Own.” “If you are a person gambling, your incentives aren't really being cared for very well,” Bowden said. “That's where we saw an opening to say to people that if you are gambler, why don't you become an investor? The people who own the horses are incentivized to make you happy and to make the horses win because at the end of the day they have a stake in the same thing you did. When those incentives align, that's where we thought we found a better business model and a way for people to get involved. We wanted to create something that would really stick out from any other opportunities people have to become financially involved in the horse racing industry.” Bolton and Bowden realize this won't work with just one horse or even 10. The secondary market won't work without an adequate amount of liquidity, which means many horses and many owners. Though they're still in one-step-at-a-time mode, the goal is to have a large stable and hundreds of investors. They will be working closely with bloodstock advisor David Ingordo, whose clients include Belladonna. He says that Triple Crown Trading is an ideal way to get new people interested in the sport. “Anything that brings new people into the business is a good thing,” Ingordo said. “Jack Bolton is young and they're attempting to build a foundation of younger horse owners. You never know where the next Mike Repole, Sol Kumin, Jerry Moss, pick your favorite big owner, is going to come from. To me, this looks like ownership development. If someone can get involved for a minimal amount of money they will have an incentive to go from there. That's something our sport should endorse in general because where are we going to get this next generation of owners?” The post With Help from Major Industry Players, Whiz Kids to Launch Unique Partnership appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Shamrock Farm near Woodbine in Carroll County has been selected as the home of Maryland's new Thoroughbred training center, the Maryland Thoroughbred Racetrack Operating Authority announced Monday. Designed to accommodate more than 800 horses with room for future expansion, the new facility is located just 20 miles from Pimlico Race Course. “Our goal is to design and build one of the great equine training centers in the world,” said Gregory A. Cross, chairman of the MTROA. “A rigorous examination of many locations in the region showed that this site provides the best combination of size, cost and construction approval process. The collaborative decision to build at Shamrock Farm included input from Maryland's horsemen and other key stakeholders. This project truly continues the path for our racing industry to thrive.” Alan Foreman, general counsel to the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association and a member of the MTROA board, added, “The selection of Shamrock Farm as the year-round training center marks a pivotal step forward for Maryland's racing community as part of the Pimlico Plus Plan. Located in the heart of Carroll County, Shamrock Farm provides horsemen with a convenient and accessible training facility, close to many of their current operations. This proximity will ease travel burdens and ensure trainers, horses, and their teams have the resources they need to thrive. Paired with the revitalization of Pimlico, this decision demonstrates our commitment to collaborating with the state of Maryland to strengthen the infrastructure and sustainability of our historic racing industry.” The Carroll County facility is expected to contain a one-mile dirt oval built with the same material and layout as the Pimlico track, which will become the primary home of Maryland Thoroughbred racing once reconstruction of the track is finished. The facility will have at least 800 stalls, with housing, kitchen areas and a recreation center for stable-area workers. Shamrock Farm had been under final consideration for acquisition for more than a year, after a consultant retained by the Authority, Populous, ranked it highest on a scoring mechanism that evaluated criteria including location, natural resources, topography, transportation and access, utility infrastructure, jurisdictional approvals, size, and cost of acquisition and development. Populous is also the architectural firm retained by the Maryland Stadium Authority for the project. The Authority will use the Laurel Park racing complex as a transition facility while Pimlico and the training facility are constructed, after which all racing at Laurel Park will end and the property will be redeveloped.

Todd Claunch, the farm manager at William Farish's Lane's End Farm, will retire at the end of this month following a 34-year career, the nursery said in a release Dec. 23. He is to be succeeded by Peter Sheehen, a 16-year veteran at Lane's End and its current stallion manager. Claunch joined the yearling division at Lane's End in 1990 and had the distinction of working with champion and Horse of the Year A.P. Indy as a yearling. He was named yearling manager in 1994, managing all aspects of horse care and sales prep while overseeing the developments of Mineshaft, the late Lemon Drop Kid, Code of Honor, Fierceness, Palace Malice, Elite Power and Secret Status, homebred winner of the GI Kentucky Oaks and daughter of A.P. Indy. He was also responsible for preparing client yearlings for the premier sales and counts his greatest challenge and sentimental favorite as champion Rags to Riches, the daughter of A.P. Indy who sold for $1.9 million at the 2005 Keeneland September Sale and who would go on to defeat Curlin in the 2007 GI Belmont Stakes. Claunch served as an assistant farm manager until 2020 when he took over from the retiring Mike Cline, who had served as farm manager from the inception of Lane's End in 1979. “Todd's service and contributions to Lane's End over three decades have been immeasurable,” said Lane's End Farm President Bill Farish. “Todd is a true horseman, and I feel that his commitment to the horses and love of the farm provided the foundation of our successful yearling and sale operation. As farm manager over the past four years, Todd worked tirelessly to lead the farm staff and to position us for the future. We are very grateful for his years of dedication to Lane's End.” He continued, “We are pleased to announce that Peter Sheehan will serve as farm manager beginning with the new year. Peter has been a member of the Lane's End team for 16 years and was mentored by Todd in the yearling division. Peter's knowledge of all divisions of the farm is unparalleled and I look forward to working with him in this important role.” Of his tenure at Lane's End, Claunch said, “It has been an incredible privilege to work for Mr. Farish and Bill. They task their managers and team with putting the horse first. Being part of the great operation they have built has been the opportunity of a lifetime and I am immensely thankful. I look forward to following the farm's future generations of racehorses and stallions.” The post Lane’s End Farm Manager Todd Claunch Retiring appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Since Down Broadway became the first horse to transition to a second career via New York's TAKE THE LEAD Thoroughbred Retirement Program, the organization has contributed better than $2 million to accredited aftercare organizations, and by year's end, the total will be over $2.3 million. TAKE THE LEAD's partner program, TAKE2, has now distributed more than $1 million in prize money and awards to Thoroughbreds competing at recognized hunter/jumper shows across the country. “We could not have accomplished so much on the path that Rick Violette started us on more than 10 years ago without the support and dedication of so many people,” said TAKE THE LEAD and TAKE2 Executive Director Andy Belfiore. “First and foremost, we thank New York's owners and trainers and jockeys who provide not only the majority of the funding for our programs but also work with us to make sure that our racehorses get the safe retirement they deserve. “The aftercare organizations do incredible work transitioning the horses to second careers that suit them the best, and we have a team of veterinarians and vanning companies to make the transition from the track as smooth as possible.” TAKE2 and TAKE THE LEAD were created by the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association (NYTHA) during Violette's tenure as president. “There are also countless private donors who give what they can, they are all part of our aftercare family, and we are so appreciative of their support,” TAKE2 and TAKE THE LEAD President Rick Schosberg said. “It is both awe-inspiring and humbling to be a part of a cause that is solely focused on doing right by these amazing horses. They give so much to us, and it is our duty to do all we can for them. This is the perfect time to say thank you to the horses, and to all who support TAKE2 and TAKE THE LEAD.” The post Milestone Year for TAKE THE LEAD, TAKE2 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

If this seems a strangely specific category, that's because it is. There are two dozen sires standing in Kentucky at $10,000, a fee that attempts to preserve their dignity against a candid slide into the bargain basement. Though you're only a cent away from offering your stallion at four figures, you want him to look accessible without being low-rent. Only a couple are newcomers, all of which were dealt with separately in opening this series. Otherwise this is chiefly the bracket of youngish stallions whose rookie vogue is spent, anxious for fresh momentum after launching either at the sales or on the racetrack. But there's also the occasional older sire, who has achieved an elusive viability through a record of understated accomplishment. MIDNIGHT LUTE is one admirable example, with as many Grade I performers as he has crops, but most venerable of all is MINESHAFT who approaches his 25th birthday dignified by fourth place in the general sires' table. This, of course, has primarily been the work of Senor Buscador in the desert, but Mineshaft has had seven other Grade I winners across his career and another millionaire operating right now in Hoist the Gold. With those aristocratic genes, there can't be too many better options for affordably proving a mare. One of his studmates had a similar outlier, Country Grammer, a couple of years ago. But TONALIST has never really been given much of a chance by commercial breeders despite actually delivering black-type and graded-stakes performers at a similar ratio to his neighbor Liam's Map, whose undoubted merit is reflected in a fee four times higher. Another in the same barn, UNION RAGS, has meanwhile completed a dizzy fall from grace, having traded at $60,000 as recently as 2020, but has just come up with a sixth elite winner in Power Squeeze and surely rates as very good value now that he has reached this humbling level. CONNECT is another Lane's End stallion down in price, having traded at $25,000 a couple of years ago, though his flagbearer Rattle N Roll has confirmed how well his stock matures by winning a graded stakes for the fourth year running. It feels pretty remarkable that even siring the GI Kentucky Derby winner hasn't sufficed to elevate GOLDENCENTS from this fee. Admittedly his overall body of work remains more about quantity than quality, but those that look like runners have every right to prove so. Certainly Mystik Dan's breeders are glad that they used one of Into Mischief's first stars even at what has proved a career-high $25,000 (a fee Goldencents had earned through the endeavors of his own first crop, which included millionaires By My Standards and Mr. Money). Goldencents was the most prolific freshman of 2018, but that brings no guarantees and last year's champion rookie MITOLE now finds himself trimmed from $15,000 (opened at $25,000) despite entertaining as many as 168 mares last spring! He has obviously always had volume behind him, and this year (as last) mustered a solitary graded stakes winner, but cumulatively Mitole boasts the highest ratio of winners to named foals among the principals of the intake. Goldencents | Sarah Andrew Among his peers AUDIBLE has taken a similar cut, his book having come right down this year, but he can point to sophomores like millionaire My Mane Squeeze moving him up the class rankings, from fifth as freshman to second this year. Those to have launched their first juveniles this year include the sire of Grade II winner Minaret Station, INSTILLED REGARD, while HONOR A.P. is a horse I have always really admired. Vexingly underrated on the racetrack, he made a perfectly respectable start with his first runners for one that was never going to break out as champion freshman. Watch for his sophomores round two turns in 2025. Standout performer at this fee at the weanling sales was DRAIN THE CLOCK ($55,038) who conspicuously sent hardly any foals home: 39 sold of 43 offered, an exceptional clearance rate. His speed has plainly made him of compelling interest to pinhookers. The trio that opened for business this year, meanwhile, all take a small clip from $12,500 despite successfully assembling a three-figure debut book: 159 mares for TWO PHIL'S, 158 for ZANDON and 102 for DR. SCHIVEL. VALUE PODIUM Bronze: TACITUS (Tapit–Close Hatches , by First Defence), $10,000, Taylor Made In contrast to his days on the racetrack, where even a haul of $4.3 million could not wholly mask a win ratio that fell somewhat short of his ability, Tacitus appears to be making the most of his opportunities early in his second career. Having covered 188 mares in his debut book, he was never going to leave buyers short of catalogue choice. But he processed 71 of 86 yearlings offered at an average $66,876, a striking advance on their weanling yield of $31,614. That suggestion of auspicious physical development is matched by the progress of his page, featuring what is currently perhaps the most dynamic branch of a great dynasty (Best in Show is fifth dam). Full siblings Scylla and Batten Down have been doing their bit for their dam, herself of course a champion; and likewise Idiomatic (Curlin), whose mother is a sister to Close Hatches. These genes might have earned Tacitus a place on a regional program even if he had never even made the track. As it is, he repeatedly demonstrated their functionality at the highest level, notably in outclassing the GII Suburban Handicap field by nearly nine lengths. His juveniles seem unlikely to be early but whatever foundations he can lay in 2025, Tacitus retains greater potential than we would expect in most launched at this kind of fee. Silver: CARACARO (Uncle Mo–Peace Time, by War Front), $10,000, Crestwood Hats off to the team at Crestwood for doing what had begun to feel impossible. As a rule, the kind of below-the-radar success former 'TDN Rising Star' Caracaro has achieved with his first few juveniles tends to be smothered by the hundreds of mares sacrificed to launch what usually turn out to be mediocre sires on more industrial farms. Caracaro, however, has not only demanded attention but is now also receiving it. Things started solidly, with the 26 members of his first crop through the ring as yearlings achieved an average of $41,745. Then a filly who reserved her sales dais for OBS in April topped the session at $775,000-all this, remember, off a $6,5000 conception fee! Since then, 21 of Caracaro's 43 named juveniles have so far made it to the starting gate–and his seven winners include three stakes performers, notably Kentucky Juvenile Stakes winner West Memorial. His Ocala auction sensation, meanwhile, has turned into 'TDN Rising Star' and dual graded stakes runner-up Casalu. And, just for once, the market read below the fold of the newspaper. Caracaro became one of those rare down-table sires to maintain his sales yield between first and second crops. Still more unusually, moreover, his book last spring soared from 67 to 151. After the devastating loss of his sire, a pronounced Uncle Mo stamp on these horses will be prized more than ever. Caracaro rose through the ranks fast enough to run second in the GI Travers Stakes on only his fourth (and sadly final) start, and that ability was consistent with his page: all three of his siblings either a stakes winner or graded stakes-placed; while the second dam is GI Kentucky Oaks runner-up Santa Catarina (Unbridled). Bravo Crestwood, bravo Caracaro. Gold: COLLECTED (City Zip–Helena Bay {GB}, by Johannesburg), $10,000, Airdrie What a tough class in which to make your name! Justify. Good Magic. Here's Oscar Performance, emerging almost overnight as the heir to his late sire. City of Light chips in with Fierceness. Horses like Girvin and Army Mule punching way above weight. The list goes on. Yet elbowing his way through them all is Collected, after three crops, behind only the big two (Justify at $250,000, Good Magic at $125,000) on 16 stakes winners–and meekly asking no more than $10,000. Six of these black-type scorers have won at graded stakes level, including two juveniles on the same card at Santa Anita in October, one of whom went on to be denied by just a neck at the Breeders' Cup. Collected is getting plenty of turf action, which should definitely commend him to European pinhookers, among others, but was of course himself top-class on dirt (shocked Arrogate in the GI Pacific Classic, and beaten only by Gun Runner in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic). His class is rooted in a pedigree that replicates the dam of Blushing Groom (Fr) top and bottom, with classy horses proliferating through the family from Europe to Japan. That's the quality you would expect of a horse co-bred and raised by Runnymede Farm, and he has now finished his career in the best of hands, as well. Actually a Collected filly from Runnymede made $240,000 deep in the September Sale this year. So while he has had to sweat out the usual 'bubble,' welcoming just 53 mares last spring, his results on the track have given Collected every chance now to confirm himself one of the outstanding bargains currently available at any level of the market. Collected | Sarah Andrew Value Sires: The Breeders Speak TANYA GUNTHER In the hunt for value, factors I have taken into consideration include progeny racetrack success, commerciality and the potential for upside. At the $10,000 fee level, I have landed on the following three stallions. BRONZE: Mo Donegal (Uncle Mo–Callingmissbrown, by Pulpit), Spendthrift Farm, $10,000 Mo Donegal is untested as a sire with respect to progeny performance at the track so my pick here is based on the balance of other factors that may work in his favor. He was precocious enough to win the GII Remsen Stakes as a 2-year old and had the class to win multiple graded stakes races as a 3-year-old including the GII Wood Memorial Stakes in a speedy time and a Classic, the GI Belmont Stakes. If I were asked to take a punt on an unproven sire, a son of a prolific sire of sires would be high on my list. The tragic and much-too -soon passing of Uncle Mo brings with it a poignant reminder of the legacy he leaves behind and I think there is a reasonable chance that Mo Donegal could add to this legacy and prove value at the 10k level. His first foals sold well enough and he has solid mare numbers at sufficient quality to be in with a chance. His fee is half that of his starting fee, which I think is a reflection more of the plethora of newcomers than anything else and could present an opportunity. SILVER: Caracaro (Uncle Mo–Peace Time, by War Front), Crestwood Farm, $10,000 Another son of Uncle Mo gets the nod for silver: Caracaro. While it takes a scroll to reach his name on the first-season sire list, Caracaro seems to have outperformed expectations. He has shown some commerciality through respectable median and average selling prices in addition to a 2-year old sale session topper purchased by one of the most astute horse judges in the industry. He is also making a strong case for becoming a stallion that improves his mares, a quality I love to see in a young stallion. Together with the solid support in terms of mare numbers, Caracaro is on a positive trajectory. If he can continue the positive momentum with his first three year olds and next batch of two year olds, his current fee (reflecting a modest increase from the prior year) could prove value. GOLD: Mitole (Eskendereya–Indian Miss, by Indian Charlie), Spendthrift, $10,000 Champion first-season sire last year and current #3 ranked second-crop sire, Mitole takes gold by a pole. In 2024, he has produced six black-type winners and 13 black-type horses. He has also produced a lot of winners (96, the highest on the TDN second-crop sire list) at a strong clip of 51.9% winners/starters. Commercially, he has generated numbers that show his progeny have a chance to pay the bills as well, a nice option. With sizable books of mares throughout his stud career to date, Mitole also has a chance to avoid the dip in headline action which can happen when a young stallion's third and fourth crops come online and he can build on his current momentum. TIM HAMLIN BRONZE: Mo Donegal (Uncle Mo–Callingmissbrown, by Pulpit), Spendthrift Farm, $10,000. I'm impressed with his foals. They have lots of balance and lots of leg and they should sell well as yearlings. SILVER: Dr. Schivel (Violence–Lil Nugget, by Mining for Money), Taylor Made Farm, $10,000 Dr. Schivel has all the right angles for me. He is also is a very athletic-looking horse who should have correct, athletic-looking babies. GOLD: Drain the Clock (Maclean's Music–Manki, by Arch), Gainesway, $10,000 It's all about the athleticism for me. Drain the Clock's foals were so balanced, correct and smoothing-moving. They look like fast, early runners.

The late Hall of Fame jockeys Walter Blum, John Rotz and Bobby Ussery will be honored at the 10th annual Jockeys and Jeans Fundraiser for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF) to be held Saturday, Jan. 11, at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. Blum was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of a newspaper delivery person, and was inducted into the Jewish Hall of Fame in 1986 and into the National Museum of Racing the following year. The recipient of the 1964 George Woolfe Memorial Jockey Award, he became president of the Jockeys' Guild until he retired in 1974. Blum, winner of nearly 4400 races, passed away in March 2024. Rotz joined racing's hall of fame in 1983, riding such stars as Carry Back, Ta Wee, Dr. Fager and In Reality. Rotz took a controversial running of the Preakness Stakes in 1962 and added the 1970 Belmont Stakes. Rotz died in Illinois in July 2021. Bobby Ussery passed away in November 2023 at his home in Hollywood, Florida, and his ashes were scattered across the Gulfstream Park winner's circle earlier this year. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1980, Ussery won the 1960 Preakness Stakes and the Kentucky Derby back-to-back in 1967 and 1968, the latter aboard the subsequently famously disqualified Dancers Image. All three won the Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park, the site of the upcoming Jockeys and Jeans event. It will include videos of each of the three riders and a commemorative plaque presented to special people in their lives. Tickets for the event can be purchased here.
