If on-course patrons at Riccarton thought the noise after Who Dares Wins won last week was at fever pitch it got even louder on Saturday when he backed up to take out the Gr.3 Coca-Cola Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m). Trainers Tony and Lyn Prendergast, who had performed a remarkable feat last week to get the imposing six-year-old gelding into the winner’s circle over 1600m after a four-month layoff, deserved even greater accolades after the Iffraaj gelding simply out-stayed his rivals over an ext...

Classy three-year-old Beyond The Fort franked her gritty runner-up effort in the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) last month with a comprehensive victory in Saturday’s Listed New Zealand Bloodstock Warstep Stakes (2000m) at Riccarton. The Bill Thurlow-trained Niagara filly won her first two starts before tackling Group One company in the Oaks where she pushed eventual winner, Sentimental Miss to the wire. Thurlow was happy to trek her south from his Waverley base for Saturday’s contest after th... View the full article

Matamata visitor Princess Kereru signed off on an A+ report card for her current campaign when she scored a hollow victory in the Listed NZB Finance Sprint (1200m) at Hastings on Saturday. The Ken and Bev Kelso and Mark Donoghue-trained five-year-old claimed her second black-type victory for the season with an authoritative display in the hands of regular pilot, Cameron Lammas. Despite being on the back foot when the gates opened, Lammas soon had the Pins mare in a favourable mid-field position ... View the full article

Monmouth Park’s Dennis Drazin, a key player in the legalization of sports betting in New Jersey, will be inducted into the Sports Betting Hall of Fame Apr. 25. In addition to being an advocate of sports betting and a horse owner, Drazin is chairman and CEO of Darby Development, which operates Monmouth Park. Drazin spent nearly seven years battling to overturn the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA). The Supreme Court ruled in his favor May 14, 2018, and Monmouth accepted the first legal sports wagers in New Jersey June 14, 2018. The decision changed the face of legalized sports betting in the U.S. after being restricted to just four states since 1992. “I’m honored to be recognized for my accomplishments in the industry and I look forward to continued success at Monmouth Park,” Drazin said. The ceremony will be held at the Sky Room in New York City in conjunction with the Betting on Sports America conference at the Meadowlands Exposition Center. View the full article

The journalistic team of Linda Carroll and David Rosner has been named winner of the 13th annual Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award, given yearly to recognize books written about horse racing. The winners were announced Apr. 10 at a reception held at the Ryan family’s Castleton Lyons near Lexington, KY. The writing duo of Carroll and Rosner co-authored “Out of the Clouds: The Unlikely Horseman and the Unwanted Colt who Conquered the Sport of Kings,” a biography of Hirsch Jacobs and Stymie. The book details the 1940s-era Cinderella story of the two, both of whom ended up in the Racing Hall of Fame. “This rags-to-riches story checked off all the boxes for me,” noted Kay Coyte, lead judge for the award. “It was beautifully written and thoroughly researched, reading more like a novel than a scholarly text. Horse racing in those days may have been recorded in black and white, but authors Carroll and Rosner brought out the Technicolor in telling the stories of these two champions and their supporting cast of characters.” Other judges included Caton Bredar and Jayne Moore Waldrop. The winners received a check for $10,000 and a Tipperary crystal trophy in the shape of the stone tower found at Castleton Lyons. Submissions for the 2019 Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award must be received by Dec. 31, 2019. View the full article

LADY APPLE (f, 3, Curlin–Miss Mary Apples, by Clever Trick) snuck up the fence just in time to steal the show in the GIII Fantasy S. at Oaklawn Friday. Let go at 9-1, the bay saved ground in a joint third alongside Orra Moor (Orb) as Motion Emotion (Take Charge Indy) led Brill (Medaglia d’Oro) through a first half in :46.76. Maintaining her position on the backstretch run, Lady Apple slipped through a seam on the fence in the final sixteenth and kicked clear to score in 1:43.88. Motion Emotion was 3/4 of a length back in second and Brill held third. Phoenix Thoroughbred bought into the filly after her debut second at Keeneland in April and she was transferred from trainer Mark Hubley to Steve Asmussen. A neck second in Belmont’s Astoria S. in June, she was fifth in the GIII Schuylerville S. at Saratoga in July and fifth again in a Spa maiden special three weeks later. Earning her diploma in a sloppy Oaklawn sprint Feb. 7, the bay took to two turns no problem next out in Hot Springs with a two-length defeat of the re-opposing Irish Mischief (Into Mischief) Mar. 23. Lifetime Record: 7-3-2-0. O-Phoenix Thoroughbreds & KatieRich Farms; B-KatieRich Farms (KY); T-Steve Asmussen. View the full article

PALOMITA (f, 3, Into Mischief–Palomanegra, Grand Slam) broke alertly, cleared her inside competitors and never gave anyone a chance in the stretch to score a romping graduation in the Keeneland nightcap Friday. Bet down to 9-10 debuting Feb. 2 at Gulfstream, the bay was a distant second behind ‘TDN Rising Star’ Violencia (Violence) and showed six interim drills, capped by a half-mile move in :48 4/5 (34/109) here Apr. 6. Taking the bulk of the play once again to be 8-5, the $375,000 Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream buy beat the blocks and went on with it easily through a sharp :21.90 quarter. Cruising around the turn under a hot-handed Javier Castellano, she gave her rivals the slip past midstretch and rolled home six lengths to the good in 1:11.77. Violent Lady (Violence) was second-best, while Doll Collection (Tapit), the second foal out of dual champion Groupie Doll (Bowman’s Band) won a three-horse photo for the show. The winner’s has a juvenile full-brother and her dam, a half to MGSW/GISP Falling Sky (Lion Heart), was bred to Kitten’s Joy last season. Sales History: $75,000 RNA Wlg ’16 KEENOV; $175,000 Ylg ’17 KEESEP; $375,000 2yo ’18 FTFMAR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $56,000. O-e Five Racing Thoroughbreds; B-Kendall E.

Gutsy winner Mr Hooper became one of the first beneficiaries of the recent widening of rating bands on Friday night. After the Shamexpress three-year-old’s second win back in February when he carved up a Kranji Stakes Division 2 field, an eight-point penalty saw him rise to 63 points. Trainer James Peters could henceforth only run the Oscar Racing Stable-owned gelding in either Kranji Stakes C or Class 3 company. Mixed results ensued, though. He led and only weakened late ...

Newly-licensed Malaysian apprentice jockey Riduan Abu Bakar got his Singapore riding career off to a flying start with a winner at only his second ride at his first day at the office at Kranji on Friday night. Uncannily, the Kelantan-born 25-year-old, who sat on his first horse when he was five and honed his craft as a jockey in New Zealand at the Te Akau Racing yard, pulled off the same feat there – first winner at his second ride, Don’tblamethemusic. After giving early glimp... View the full article

Monarch of Egypt is set to become the first runner for 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah when he steps out in Saturday’s first race at Naas over five furlongs. Bred in Kentucky by RanJan Racing, the Mar. 31 foal is a son of Up (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a two-time winner at group level in Ireland and runner-up in the 2012 G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (French 1000 Guineas). Up is a half-sister to G1 Middle Park S. and G1 Darley Prix Morny hero Dutch Art (GB) (Medicean {GB}). Owned in partnership by Peter Brant, Mrs. John Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith and racing in Brant’s silks Saturday, Monarch of Egypt was consigned to last year’s Keeneland September sale by Lane’s End, agent, and realized a final bid of $750,000 from Brant and Coolmore’s M. V. Magnier. Also down to debut in the same event is Flaxman Stables Ireland’s homebred In The Present, from the first crop of Gainesway’s GI Breeders’ Cup Mile hero Karakontie (Jpn) (Bernstein).

DELTA PRINCE (h, 6, Street Cry {Ire}–Delta Princess, by A.P. Indy), last up the backstretch, put together a big stretch rally to take the GI Maker’s 46 Mile S. going away Friday at Keeneland. Winner of the GII King Edward S. last summer at Woodbine, the homebred missed by a neck in the GI Fourstardave H. and was fourth in the GI Woodbine Mile. Filling out the trifecta in the GIII Bold Ruler H. on dirt Nov. 2 at Aqueduct, he made the lead into deep stretch of the GI Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational S. before settling for third last out Jan. 26 at Gulfstream. Taking a flood of late money to go off the narrow favorite at 8-5 here, the dark bay was second-last behind a :24.25 quarter and dropped back to trail off of a :47.79 half. Starting to pick up his feet on the latter half of the far bend, he swept past the leaders outside the sixteenth pole and kicked clear to a 1 3/4-length success. Clyde’s Image (Get Stormy) ran a huge race to get second in a photo at 46-1. Lifetime Record: 13-5-3-4, $1,173,819. O-Stronach Stable; B-Adena Springs (KY); T-James A. Jerkens. View the full article

A year after saddling the first three home in GI Coolmore Jenny Wiley S., won by future Eclipse Award winner Sistercharlie (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}), trainer Chad Brown sends out three of the eight runners this time around and a repeat of last year’s feat is certainly not completely out of the question. eFive Racing’s Rushing Fall (More Than Ready) won the GIII Jessamine S. at two and the GII Appalachian S. and GI QE II Challenge Cup last season and could join Take Charge Lady (Dehere) as horses to win as many as four black-type races at Keeneland. The bay was handed the lone defeat of her career in the GIII Edgewood S. last May, but she bounced back to win a soft-turf renewal of Saratoga’s GII Lake Placid S. in August before validating 2-5 favoritism in the QE II. Rymska (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) was sixth to stablemate Uni (GB) (More Than Ready) in the one-mile GI Matriarch S. at Del Mar last December and has two runs under her belt this term, an alibi-free runner-up effort in the GIII Suwannee River S. at Gulfstream Feb. 9 ahead of a two-length defeat of the swan-songing Hawksmoor (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}) and stable companion Onthemoonagain (Fr) (Cape Cross {Ire}) in the GII Hillsborough S. at Tampa Mar. 9. Bellavais (Tapit) could be the one to crash the Brown party. The chestnut, whose second dam Memories of Silver (Silver Hawk) won the 1996 QE II, was a two-time stakes winner for the Phillips Racing Partnership and trainer Jimmy Toner before being purchased by Bortolazzo Stable for $485,000 at the 2018 Keeneland January Sale. She has won two of her four starts for new connections, including a 3 1/2-length victory in the GIII Marshua’s River S. Jan. 12. She exits a third to the Brown-conditioned Precieuse (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) in the GIII Honey Fox S. at Gulfstream Mar. 2 and will try to give trainer Todd Pletcher a first Jenny Wiley win.

The GIII Stonestreet Lexington S. at Keeneland offers the winner 20 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby and a victory by a couple of Saturday’s entrants would serve as the final push necessary for a berth in the field of 20 in three weeks’ time. Peter Redekop’s Anothertwistafate (Scat Daddy) has been pegged as the 2-1 morning-line favorite and has been brilliant since finishing well down the field on his career debut on Breeders’ Cup weekend at Santa Anita. He has since become a terror on the Golden Gate Tapeta, with three wins by a combined 16 lengths, capped by a sensational seven-length romp in the Feb. 16 El Camino Real Derby. He proved in his last start that his lone previous dirt try was an anomaly by falling just short behind Cutting Humor (First Samurai) in the GIII Sunland Derby Mar. 24. A repeat of either of those last two efforts puts him front and center here and books a spot in Louisville. Sueno, by Stonestreet stallion Atreides, also has a Golden Gate stakes win to his credit, hacing won the Dec. 1 Gold Rush S. in his two-turn debut. He has subsequently acquitted himself well in graded company, with runner-up efforts in the GIII Sham S. and GIII Southwest S. ahead of a latest third in the GII Louisiana Derby Mar. 23. Of those on the outside looking in, Zenden (Fed Biz) looms an interesting possibility. Unbeaten in two starts as a juvenile, including a minor Gulfstream stakes in December, the chestnut was an honest second to Call Paul (Friesan Fire) in the GIII Swale S. Feb. 2 and most recently set blazing fractions from gate 11 and held for fourth in the GII Tampa Bay Derby Mar. 9. The form of the latter race has since been franked when Tacitus (Tapit) returned to annex last weekend’s GII Wood Memorial S. and when third-placed Win Win Win (Hat Trick {Jpn}) overcame some trouble to complete the exacta in the GII Toyota Blue Grass S. Stonestreet-bred Owendale (Into Mischief) proved best in a salty Fair Grounds allowance Jan. 17 and could do no better than eighth off a torrid trip in the Feb. 16 GII Risen Star S. He’s worked well since at trainer Brad Cox’s Churchill base and can shake things up on the bottom of the exotics. View the full article

12.45 Chantilly, Debutantes, €25,000, 3yo, 7f (AWT) ETRURIA (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) is a striking newcomer for Godolphin and Andre Fabre as a full-sister to their G1 Prix Jean Prat hero and G1 2000 Guineas runner-up Territories (Ire). Also connected to the operation’s star runners and sires Street Cry (Ire) and Shamardal, she faces 10 rivals on the Polytrack. 1.50 Naas, Cond, €25,000, 2yo, 5fT MONARCH OF EGYPT (American Pharoah) is a highly significant Ballydoyle representative, being the first to run for his stable and sire with Ryan Moore booked. Out of the operation’s G2 Blandford S. winner and G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches runner-up Up (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the March-foaled bay who cost $750,000 at Keeneland September runs in the colours of Peter Brant and meets Godolphin’s unraced colt Paso Doble (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}), a Jim Bolger-trained son of the G1 Preis von Europa heroine Baila Me (Ger) (Samum {Ger}). 3.50 Newbury, Mdn, £8,550, 3yo, 8fT FOX CHAIRMAN (IRE) (Kingman {GB}) bids to continue the bright start to the season made by representatives of the late Vichai Srivaddhanapradha’s King Power Racing. A 450,000gns TATOCT half-brother to the dual Group 1-winning La Collina (Ire) (Strategic Prince {GB}), the February-foaled bay makes his debut for the Andrew Balding stable and encounters another newcomer in Lord Lloyd-Webber’s Crystal Tribe (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), a William Haggas-trained son of the owner-breeders’ G1 Fillies’ Mile heroine Crystal Music (Nureyev). 4.25 Newbury, Mdn, £8,550, 3yo, 8fT ROSEMAN (IRE) (Kingman {GB}) takes part in division two of this maiden and was the third-highest priced lot at Goffs Orby, with Roger Varian having to go to €650,000 to secure him for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum. Out of a full-sister to the high-class Immortal Verse (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}), he takes on 11 rivals including The Queen’s similarly-unraced Gold Stick (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), a John Gosden-trained son of Godolphin’s G2 Cherry Hinton S. winner Gamilati (GB) (Bernardini).

Ed DeRosa of TwinSpires.com takes on TDN’s Steve Sherack and Brian DiDonato as they handicap each prep race leading up to the GI Kentucky Derby. The three will make $100 Win/Place bets-highest bankroll after Arkansas Derby/Lexington day wins. DiDonato: Santa Anita Derby, Wood and Blue Grass – Haikal settled for third from far back and Lucky Lee didn’t do much running, but I loved the kick Roadster showed to defeat his more seasoned stablemate in the Santa Anita Derby. Not that he’ll be any kind of price, but he’s looking like my Derby horse at this point. Two more chances to get run down on this final prep day, but it certainly won’t be easy. Let’s keep it chalky… Bankroll: $11,725. GI Arkansas Derby – Omaha Beach feels like one of those horses for whom the light bulb has come on. He seems to have been very well regarded from the start of his career, but after just missing three times in a row was starting to look like a professional maiden. He put it all together when romping by nine lengths in the slop and on the cutback (ahead of last week’s very impressive turf graduate One Bad Boy), and took another step forward when fending off none other than Game Winner in one of the GII Rebel divisions. It’s worth noting (maybe not depending on who you ask) that Omaha Beach galloped out well in front of Game Winner, and the 2-year-old champ flattered Omaha Beach’s effort with another strong showing at Santa Anita. I also thought Omaha Beach was forced to move a bit too soon last time. Selection: #3 Omaha Beach (2-1). GIII Stonestreet Lexington S. – I’ve been pretty impressed with Shang‘s efforts against Louisiana-breds. Obviously, the waters get much deeper for him here, but he seems up to the task. His dam was classy–she hit the board a couple times at the Grade III level and was fourth behind Octave in the 2007 GI CCA Oaks. The pace looks likely to be pretty solid, and he seems like one who could find a good ground-saving spot off of it. Selection: #1 Shang (10-1). Sherack: Santa Anita Derby, Wood and Blue Grass – Nolo Contesto, Outshine and Dream Maker made for a very rough day at the windows. We’ll see if DiDonato’s out of reach or not, but two more price plays still to come. Nice to clinch showing a profit in here at the least. Bankroll: $5230. GI Arkansas Derby – Is there enough early pace to see a complete meltdown? The promising Country House made a strong, wide move into a very slow tempo in the Louisiana Derby and has every right to move forward off that fourth-place finish with the proper set-up here. After going all-in on the stretch-running Laughing Fox in the Rebel, he’ll be on some of my tickets at a big price here, too. Selection: #8 Country House (12-1). GIII Lexington S. – Owendale looked like he was on his way to good things this spring after two strong efforts at Fair Grounds, then failed to fire after encountering a less-than-ideal trip from far back in the Risen Star. He appears to be training quite well with a pair of bullets for trainer Brad Cox since his latest. Let’s see if he can give a better showing getting back to his preferred trip of sitting closer to the pace with the rider change to Geroux. Selection: #8 Owendale (12-1). DeRosa: Santa Anita Derby, Wood and Blue Grass – Instagrand placed third (Santa Anita Derby); Joevia finished seventh and was DQ’d to 11th (Wood Memorial); and Aquadini was 12th (Blue Grass). Bankroll: $3250. GI Arkansas Derby – The Arkansas Derby does offer some real price alternatives. Galilean is the horse I’m most excited about from a Kentucky Derby standpoint, and of the favorites I prefer Improbable to Omaha Beach, but we’re going to try to go out with a bang with Jersey Agenda. I saw this horse win an entry- level allowance race in January on the Smarty Jones undercard, and subsequent stakes tries did not go great, but the trips weren’t great, and he always seems to be trying. Call him a Long Range Toddy light in that regard. At 30-to-1, I’ll play that he runs back to the race I think I saw in his 3-year-old debut. Selection: #10 Jersey Agenda (30-1). GIII Lexington S. – There are only two chances left to catch the leaders, but I can’t in good faith reach too far in the Stonestreet Lexington S. considering Anothertwistafate is my Kentucky Derby #1 and favored to get the necessary points for a run on May 4 at Churchill Downs. Obviously, 30-to-1 on Derby day is a lot more enticing than 2-to-1 three weeks earlier, but I have a lot of respect for this horse’s talent and just see him as being capable of blitzing the field. Selection: #4 Anothertwistafate (2-1). Click for Arkansas Derby and Lexington S. Ultimate PPs from Brisnet.com. View the full article

A career that began innocently enough with a midweek maiden victory at Sydney’s Warwick Farm June 4, 2014, comes to an emotional and highly anticipated climax in the early morning hours (US Eastern time) Saturday when Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire})–in all probability–looks through a starting gate for the final time in the A$4-million (US$2.87 million) G1 Longines Queen Elizabeth S. She will be looking to win Australia’s richest weight-for-age test for the third year in a row and to win a race at The Championships–Sydney’s autumn carnival–for the fourth consecutive season, having defeated Happy Clapper (Aus) (Teofilo {Ire}) in the G1 Doncaster Mile in 2016. Camapaigned by Peter Tighe’s Magic Bloodstock Racing in partnership with Richard Treweeke and Debbie Kepitis and meticulously managed throughout her career by trainer Chris Waller, Winx, bred by John Camilleri’s Fairway Thoroughbreds, was runner-up in the G1 ATC Oaks (2400m) precisely four years and two days ago and she has not lost since. In the span of the last 48 months, Winx has won 32 consecutive races, at distances ranging from 1300 meters (G2 Theo Marks S. in 2015) up to the metric mile and a quarter, including a record 24 races at Group 1 level. Nine of her victories have come over the 2000 meters, including an unprecedented four consecutive scores in Australia’s springtime weight-for-age championship, the G1 W S Cox Plate at Moonee Valley in Melbourne. But it is Sydney that is home for Winx. Some 27 of her 36 career tallies have come at the metropolitan tracks, including 19 at Royal Randwick, which will be bursting at the seams Saturday afternoon when the Queen Elizabeth field is loaded just after 4 p.m. local time. A 20th Randwick score will take Winx’s career earnings to A$26.3 million, an amount well north of US$19 million. She cost connections A$230,000 at the 2013 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale. Hugh Bowman has been aboard Winx 30 times during her current winning streak and in 32 of her career starts, though he was aboard for one of Winx’s rare defeats, a runner-up effort to the classy First Seal (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) in the G1 Coolmore Flight S. at Randwick in October 2014. Though she will be something around 1-10 favorite to give the racing public the fairy-tale farewell they are yearning for, the Queen Elizabeth should test her as much as she has been tested in recent memory. The competition includes Godolphin’s Hartnell (GB) (Authorized {Ire}), second to Winx in the 2017 Queen Elizabeth and behind the great mare on six other occasions, including a runner-up effort the 2016 Cox Plate. The hard-knocking Happy Clapper has run into Winx no fewer than 10 times in his 40-race career, having finished third to her in last year’s Queen Elizabeth a week after taking out the Doncaster. He was second to Winx when she won her Doncaster in 2016. “It’s always been a ‘necessary’ and a ‘have to’, rather than a ‘want to’,” Happy Clapper’s somewhat exasperated trainer Pat Webster told RacingNSW.com.au. “Because I tell you there are times I haven’t wanted to. I’ve had to run against her to get to the races I wanted to. I can’t go around in benchmark [handicap] races, so I have to run in the lead up races at weight-for-age. It’s amazing how many people come up to me and say ‘I hope you beat her,’ but it’s not the Australian way.” Fans from every corner of the globe will be glued to Saturday’s final day of The Championships, which also features the G1 Australian Oaks (2400m), the G1 Sydney Cup (3200m) and the G1 Coolmore Legacy S. (1600m). TVG’s Candice Hare will be trackside with live coverage alongside Sky Racing World’s Jason Witham. Live streaming and wagering is available on all major US-based ADW platforms.
