Never out of the top three in a trio of previous appearances on the grass, ATITLAN (c, 3, The Factor–Armanda {Ger}, by Acatenango {Ger}) capitalized on a perfect ground-saving journey to earn a breakthrough victory at the graded level in Saturday's GII Twilight Derby at Santa Anita. Making the most of his inside draw in a field of seven, Atitlan went along nicely in the slipstream of pacesetting Curlin's Kaos (Clubhouse Ride) through a half in :49.52. Traveling strongly on the turn, Atitlan pressed away from the fence to deliver a two-path challenge in upper stretch, went straight past Curlin's Kaos and held sway as the pace-disadvantaged favorite Stay Hot (Summer Front) made belated progress into second. Cathal (Ire) (No Nay Never) was third. Lifetime Record: 4-2-0-2. O-John M B O'Connor; B-Anastasie Astrid Christiansen-Croy (KY); T-John Shirreffs. ATITLAN ($14.60) found a seam and @HIBerrios rode him through it for victory in the $200,000 Twilight Derby (G2) at @santaanitapark. John Shirreffs trained the colt by The Factor (@LanesEndFarms).

7th-CD, $120k, Msw, 2yo, 6f, 3:55p.m. ET RESTLESS RENEGADE (Into Mischief), a homebred for Three Chimneys Farm and Fern Circle Stables, debuts here for Kenny McPeek on a busy Sunday coast to coast for well-bred juveniles. Out of GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes victress and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies runner-up–among three placings at the highest level–Restless Rider (Distorted Humor), the colt has three works over the Churchill Downs track since moving there in early October from Saratoga. This is the immediate female family of MGSW Private Vow (Broken Vow). TJCIS PPs 11th-CD, $120k, Msw, 2yo, 1 1/16m, 5:55p.m. ET Bisou (Curlin) is likely to be the most high-profile debuter on Sunday as the first foal of champion Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute). His dam enjoyed a career which saw her retire as the wealthiest female racehorse in North America, and she brought $5-million in 2020 at the Fasig-Tipton 'Night of the Stars' in Kentucky from Chuck Allen, who was buying out his partners. Two years later, Japan swooped in–as largely expected in many circles–and bought her for a sales-topping $5.5-million at KEENOV while in foal to Tapit with Katsumi Yoshida signing the ticket. His dam's lone flagbearer in the States, with her delivering that Tapit filly in Japan in 2023 and producing a Kitasan Black (Jpn) filly in 2024, Bisou will race for Allen Racing and Bloom Racing Stable. This is also the family of GSW & MGISP Verifying (Justify) as well as MGSP Stage Left (Congrats). TJCIS PPs 4th-SA, $54k, Msw, 2yo, 6f, 5:30p.m. ET Journalism (Curlin), the first foal of GSW & MGISP Mopotism (Uncle Mo) will make the races here for the partnership of Bridlewood Farm, Don Alberto Stable, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Elayne Stables 5 LLC and Robert LaPenta after being purchased last year at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling sale for $825,000. The bay comes into this race with an Oct. 19 work where he clocked four furlongs on the main track in :47.40 (3/71). Trainer Michael McCarthy will send him to post. To that one's inside is Mellencamp (Constitution), debuting for SF Racing LLC, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables LLC, Dianne Bashor, Determined Stables, Robert E. Masterson, Tom Ryan, Waves Edge Capital LLC and Catherine Donovan. His unplaced dam American Model (Bayern) was a $600,000 yearling at the 2018 FTSAUG auction while her son brought $775,000 at KEESEP last year. The mare is a half-sister to MGISW American Gal (Concord Point) and that one's full-sibling SW & MGSP Americanize as well as GSP Magic Tap (Tapit). This is the immediate female family of Group 1 winner Reynaldothewizard (Speightstown); MGISW Seventh Street (Street Cry {Ire}); GSW & GISP Lake Avenue (Tapit); and GISP Marking (Bernardini). TJCIS PPs 6th-SA, $54k, Msw, 2yo, f, 6 1/2f, 6:33p.m. ET Cipriani (Bernardini) comes into this debut with a sparkling $875,000 OBSMAR price tag from early this spring, changing hands to Speedway Stables LLC. Sent to the barn of Bob Baffert, this daughter of the late Bernardini is the most recent offspring to the races for SW & GSP Salamera, who also produced $850,000 OBSSPR juvenile in-training grad Flying Drummer (Gun Runner). The mare is a half-sister to SP Adore You (Tactical Cat), whose claim to fame is as the dam of MSW Outadore (Outwork); MSW Piedi Bianchi (Overanalyze) and SW Mind Reader (Gemologist). The morning line tabs Cipriani at 2-5 odds with three of her last six works being bullets.

Two weeks after saddling She Feels Pretty (Karakontie {Jpn}) to a victory in the GI QE II Challenge Cup–the premier race for 3-year-old fillies during the Keeneland Fall Meet–trainer Cherie DeVaux sent out Klein Racing's BRILLIANT BERTI (c, 3, Noble Mission {GB}–Believe in Bertie, by Langfuhr), the 3-1 second betting selection, and 44-1 outsider Depiction (More Than Ready) to a one-two finish in Saturday's $600,000 GIII Bryan Station Stakes, the richest event on the calendar for the sophomore male set. The duo caboosed the field, Brilliant Berti leading Depiction, as My Boy Prince (Cairo Prince) sped through early fractions of :22.49 and :44.95. The Canadian raider opened an imposing advantage approaching the stretch, but predictably began to weaken, setting things up for the swoopers. Having followed the move of favored Trikari (Oscar Performance) into the lane, Brilliant Berti was pulled off heels, quickly descended on the leaders with about a furlong to travel and got home first as Depiction leveled off beautifully to miss by a head. The lightly raced Herchee (Twirling Candy) ran well to be third ahead of Evade (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) in fourth. Lifetime Record: 7-5-1-0. O/B-Klein Racing (KY); T-Cherie DeVaux. BRILLIANT BERTI ($8.18) held off the flying finish of stablemate Depiction in the $600,000 Bryan Station Stakes (G3) at @keenelandracing. @reredevaux trained the top 2 finishers. @b_hernandezjr was riding.

Some 3 1/2 lengths separated Gun Song (Gun Runner) and 'TDN Rising Star' TARIFA (f, 3, Bernardini–Kite Beach, by Awesome Again) in second and third, respectively, in back of divisional-leading 'Rising Star' Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) in the GI Cotillion Stakes at Parx Sept. 21, but the tables were turned Saturday afternoon, as Tarifa refused to lay down tightly inside of odds-on Gun Song in deep stretch and edged that foe for a narrow victory in the GII Mother Goose Stakes at Aqueduct. Flavien Prat was intent on making the front with this year's GII Rachel Alexandra Stakes and GII Fair Grounds Oaks winner, but she veered in at the start and bobbled a few strides later before assuming command as John Velazquez positioned Gun Song right off her flank. While Tarifa was busily ridden past the quarter pole, Gun Song was more confidently handled and looked to have the upper hand for the sprint home, but despite leading deep into the final sixteenth of a mile after a shoulder-to-shoulder battle, Tarifa proved slightly the gamer of the two. Pretty Ana (Quality Road), who was bothered by the eventual winner at the break, steamed home for third in a what-might-have-been effort. Lifetime Record: 9-5-1-1. O/B-Godolphin (KY); T-Brad Cox. TARIFA wins the Grade 2 Mother Goose Stakes in a close finish with Flavien Prat aboard for trainer @bradcoxracing. pic.twitter.com/FghaquC6Li — NYRA () (@TheNYRA) October 26, 2024 The post Tarifa Turns Tables On Gun Song in Mother Goose appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Trainer Chad Brown sent out his two Keeneland-based pre-entrants in the GI Breeders' Cup Mile–'TDN Rising Star' Carl Spackler (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) and Chili Flag (Fr) (Cityscape {GB})–together for a half-mile breeze over the grass in :50.40 (1/3) Saturday morning. According to Keeneland clockers, their final quarter mile went in :22.80. “I thought it was a great work, very straightforward,” said jockey Tyler Gaffalione, who rode Carl Spackler to a win in Keeneland's GI Coolmore Turf Mile Stakes Oct. 5. “He's really feeling good out there. He's a very forward horse, even in the afternoons. He's just wanting to do it.” “He's shown us a lot,” Gaffalione added. “He's shown us everything we need to see this year. He's coming into the race with great form, so we have a ton of confidence. He's been putting himself in the game a bit more. We probably won't change anything up, but we'll let him get out there, run his race and see if we're good enough.” CARL SPACKLER working on the turf course at @keenelandracing for the @BreedersCup Mile.

Seven others pre-entered in the Breeders' Cup recorded their final works for the event over the dirt Saturday morning at Keeneland. Trainer Cherie DeVaux's five Breeders' Cup pre-entrants–Cagliostro (Upstart) (Dirt Mile), More Than Looks (More Than Ready) (Mile), Pipeline (Speightstown) (Dirt Mile), Pyrenees (Into Mischief) (Classic) and Vahva (Gun Runner) (Filly and Mare Sprint)–turned in half-mile maintenance works on the dirt track labeled fast. “This morning, we were just working, looking for maintenance moves out here,” DeVaux said. “There's nothing going to be too flashy, just trying to make sure they're on task and doing as well as they can be. All of them looked great. This week, not looking for too much out of them is the objective.” Cagliostro, third as the favorite in the GIII Ack Ack Stakes Sept. 28, went in company with GI Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes runner-up Pyrenees and were clocked in :49.00 (27/86). “If you take them solo, they'll have a tendency to be a bit lazy,” DeVaux said. “You just want to make sure they keep to task. They're easy enough to ride (so) they're not going to do too much out there.” CAGLIOSTRO (inside), Dirt Mile, and PYRENEES (outside), Classic, worked today at @ChurchillDowns.

He was second in Keeneland's Coolmore Turf Mile. Pipeline, a last-out optional claiming winner at Churchill Downs Sept. 19, breezed the distance in :48.20 (3/86). Vahva, third as the favorite in the GI Ballerina Handicap Aug. 24, worked by herself in :48.00 (2/86). Also working on the Keeneland dirt: For trainer Gustavo Delgado, GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity runner-up and 'TDN Rising Star' Ferocious (Flatter) (Juvenile): five furlongs in 1:01.80 (8/18) with a final quarter-mile in :23.20. For trainer Wesley Ward, last out GII Phoenix Stakes runner-up Nakatomi (Firing Line) (Sprint) went five furlongs in company with Grade I winner Chi Town Lady (Verrazano) in 1:01 (3/18). CHURCHILL-BASED BREEDERS' CUP CONTENDERS LOG FINAL WORKS Several Breeders' Cup contenders are set to ship out early Monday morning to Del Mar following their final works Saturday at Churchill Downs. Among those completing their final preparations were Federal Judge (Army Mule) (Sprint) (four furlongs in :48.40 27/157); Highland Falls (Curlin) (Classic) (five furlongs in 1:00.20 6/39); Rattle N Roll (Connect) (Classic) (five furlongs in :59.60 (1/39); Saudi Crown (Always Dreaming) (Dirt Mile) (five furlongs in 1:00 3/39) and Tumbarumba (Oscar Performance) (Dirt Mile) (four furlongs in :49.20 74/157). Saudi Crown galloping at Churchill Downs earlier this week | Sara Gordon Trainer Brad Cox worked 15 horses Saturday morning with last-out Phoenix winner Federal Judge and last-out R.A. Cowboy Jones Stakes winner Saudi Crown leading off his group at 5:30 a.m. working by themselves. “Saudi Crown had a great work this morning,” jockey Florent Geroux said. “He's been off a little bit, so we wanted to make sure he got a lot out of his training. He showed that today and last week. He worked in company last week, which went well, and I thought today was even better–a good sign going into a race.” A few minutes later, Federal Judge, worked under exercise rider Joel Osorio. At 7:15 a.m., Cox's final Breeders' Cup contender of the morning Highland Falls, worked with jockey Luis Saez on board, breezing outside stablemate Liberal Arts (Arrogate). “He worked well this morning and is coming into the race in great form,” Saez said. “I think he's improving even more at the mile-and-a-quarter distance. He ran huge last time in the Jockey Club Gold Cup at that distance.” Royally-bred Jockey Club Gold Cup winner HIGHLAND FALLS works outside company at @ChurchillDowns.

'TDN Rising Star' LONG NECK PAULA (f, 2, Uncle Mo–Take Charge Paula, by Take Charge Indy) was pitched in against the boys by trainer Wesley Ward in the $200,000 Bowman Mill Stakes at Keeneland and the gamble paid off, as she held a late charge from Tough Magic (Complexity) to record the second black-type success of her young career. Sent away the 5-2 second favorite exiting a 7 1/2-length victory in the Prairie Meadows Debutante Aug. 23, the $500,000 OBS March graduate hit the ground running and led early, but she was displaced on the front end by favored Macho Music (Maclean's Music), who zipped through an opening quarter in :21.59. Working hard to maintain the lead as they raced into the final three furlongs, Macho Music led into the lane, but he began to feel the pinch, and Junior Alvarado send Long Neck Paula to the front at the eighth pole. Tough Catch was pulled off the fence and into the clear to deliver his challenge, but the wire came first. Sales history: $325,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $500,000 2yo '24 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 4-3-0-1.

3rd-Keeneland, $99,588, Msw, 10-26, 2yo, f, 1 1/8mT, 1:50.66, fm, nose. EL JOURY (f, 2, Medaglia d'Oro–Up {Ire} {MGSW-Ire, G1SP-Fr, $379,468}, by Galileo {Ire}), who placed sixth on debut Aug. 19 at Ellis Park and sixth Sept. 11 at Kentucky Downs, both races going a mile, found her footing at third-asking with blinkers on for the first time here. Sent off a chilly 13-1 carrying the Shadwell colors for her 1 1/8-mile journey, the Brendan Walsh-trainee did not allow the pacesetter too far from her sight as she tracked that one from second. The tight racing began around the far turn as she was stuck between rivals and floated three wide entering the final stretch. On a narrow lead entering the final furlong and with challenges looming on both sides, she gamely dug in as the pack of four hit the wire together in a blanket finish. El Joury got the better of the winning bob over Illuminatrice (Twirling Candy), who got the better of a bob over My Gal (Catholic Boy) for second. It was a head back to Unmerited Favor (Summer Front) in fourth. (12) El Joury comes out on top at odds of 13-1 in a thrilling race 3 over (11) Illuminatrice and (9) My Gal! pic.twitter.com/V7vpNvMOYc — Keeneland Racing (@keenelandracing) October 26, 2024 The victress is a half-sister to a fleet of accomplished runners, namely globetrotting Monarch of Egypt (American Pharoah), G1SP-Ire, GSP-Eng, $268,084; Aspray (Quality Road), GSW, $233,210; and Khartoum (Pioneerof the Nile), GSP-Ire, $121,018, who was the last of Up's offspring to bring $1-million at auction at KEESEP until El Joury. Another half-sister Upfront (War Front) produce Group-placed Direct (Aus) (Siyouni {Fr}) in Australia. Their dam, while herself a talented racemare in her days, is most notably a half-sister to multiple Group 1-winner Dutch Art (GB) (Medicean {GB}), who is the sire of multi-millionaire, multiple Group 1 runner More Than This (GB) at Sha Tin.

Tuning up for next Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Distaff at Del Mar, four-time Grade I winner and 'TDN Rising Star' Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) breezed five furlongs beneath regular exercise rider Danny Ramsey in 1:01.24 (1/3) over Saratoga's Oklahoma training track Saturday morning. The move was recorded in company with her multiple stakes-placed Ken McPeek-trained stablemate and 4-year-old gelding Denington (Gun Runner). After purchasing a total of 21 yearlings earlier this month–five at the Tattersalls October Yearling sale and 16 at the Fasig-Tipton October Yearling sale–McPeek was back in town at his Saratoga base to watch the GI Kentucky Oaks winner train this weekend. “Nice maintenance workout,” McPeek said. “Just let her sit off the outside of Denington–who's a nice horse in his own right–and let her cruise along, then stretch out down the lane. Nice long gallop out. It wasn't complicated.” McPeek added, “She's in a really good routine up here and she's been very happy.” Thorpedo Anna, a narrow winner of the GI Cotillion Stakes at Parx Sept. 21, figures to be one of the biggest favorites of the weekend in the Distaff following Friday's defection of the race's defending winner Idiomatic (Curlin). Thorpedo Anna workout from my perspective. Beautiful fall morning in Saratoga Springs. pic.twitter.com/oleC89YBvw — Kenny McPeek (@KennyMcPeek) October 26, 2024 Mystik Dan (Goldencents), meanwhile, returned to the worktab for McPeek with a three-furlong breeze in :36.20 (1/15) at Keeneland Saturday morning. The GI Kentucky Derby winner and GI Preakness Stakes runner-up was freshened after finishing a disappointing eighth in the GI Belmont Stakes at Saratoga June 8. “Unfortunately, I couldn't split myself,” McPeek said with a laugh. “Robby Albarado got on him and we just let him run a quarter, out an eighth. He went :36 1/5. Robby says it's the best he's ever felt. He's bigger and stronger. I think we did the right thing there and we're gonna get rewarded for it in time. He's just a lovely horse–it's one step of many. He leaves for the Fair Grounds on Monday. We'll put him in that division down there and get him in a good routine. Probably four to six weeks until I pick a race. Gonna let him progress before we start thinking about that.” The post ‘Unfortunately, I Couldn’t Split Myself’ – Thorpedo Anna Posts Final Breeze for Distaff for McPeek at Saratoga; Derby Winning Stablemate Mystik Dan Back on Worktab at Keeneland appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Trainer Brad Cox discusses his trio of Breeders' Cup Saturday runners following their final breezes at Churchill Downs Oct. 26.View the full article

There are a trio of elite-level contests at Saint-Cloud on Sunday, with the Criterium International boasting arguably the most exciting protagonist in Maranoa Charlie (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) who looks to cap an unbeaten juvenile campaign. Having won his first three starts by a cumulative margin of nearly 20 lengths, including the G3 Prix Thomas Bryon over this mile trip and track earlier this month, Peter Maher, Carl Fitzgerald and John Baxter's TDN Rising Star is all substance and little hype as he faces his sternest test to date taken on exclusively by overseas raiders. Another TDN Rising Star in the line-up is Ballydoyle's Twain (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), who is backed up eight days after his six-length debut win at Leopardstown which is a tactic that Aidan O'Brien has employed successfully at this meeting in the past. Ryan Moore favours him over the stable's Arqana Series Criterium d'Automne winner Mount Kilimanjaro (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), while Joseph O'Brien boosts a strong Irish challenge with the Goffs Million scorer Apples And Bananas (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). Valmont, Ballylinch and Ecurie des Charmes' G3 Solario Stakes runner-up Matauri Bay (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) is another major player. Trio Set For Criterium De Saint-Cloud… Disappointingly, Aidan O'Brien has had to withdraw the filly Ballet Slippers (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) from the Criterium de Saint-Cloud, leaving just three to compete in an edition of the 10-furlong test which has no French-trained runners and whose cast includes Harvey (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) who has already been exposed when a distant third to Maranoa Charlie (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) in the G3 Prix Thomas Bryon. That leaves Coolmore and Westerberg's G2 Beresford Stakes runner-up Tennessee Stud (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) and Ahmad Al Shaikh's G3 Zetland Stakes runner-up Green Storm (Ire) (Circus Maximus {Ire}) in a probable match, with the former's form boosted on Saturday by Hotazhell (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}). Grosvenor Square Takes On His Elders In The Royal Oak Three-year-olds have won four of the last five renewals of the G1 Prix Royal-Oak at Saint-Cloud and Ballydoyle's Grosvenor Square (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) looks a likely candidate to add to that tally in the near-two-mile feature. In all likelihood, the liberating front-running tactics applied in The Curragh's G3 Irish St Leger Trial Stakes which he dominated by 20 lengths will be adopted again by Ryan Moore but an easy lead is probably out of the question with Nick Bradley Racing's similarly freewheeling G3 Cumberland Lodge Stakes winner Al Qareem (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}) in attendance along with the Wertheimers' defending title-holder Double Major (Ire) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}). He led at every step as he registered a wide-margin win in this 12 months ago, but this is a deeper race and the pace pressure is much keener this time. If there is one who could benefit from any pace collapse it is OTI Management's course-and-distance G3 Prix Gladiateur winner and Arc fifth Sevenna's Knight (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), while there is always the prospect of another day in the sun for the veteran stayer supreme Trueshan (Fr) (Planteur {Ire}).

Group 1 winner Feed The Flame (GB) (Kingman {GB}) will stand at Haras de la Hetraie in 2025, the stud announced on Saturday. The G1 Grand Prix de Paris victor's fee will be €4,500. Retired in September, the bay was bred by Monceaux, Lordship Stud and Clear Light SAS. Offered by Ecurie des Monceaux at the 2021 Arqana August Sale, he brought €270,000 from SAS Larrieu Gerard, and would go on to run for Jean-Louis Bouchard. The 'TDN Rising Star' was kept in training at four, and he placed three times at the highest level in 2024–third-place finishes in the Prix Ganay, and Coronation Cup–and a runner-up effort in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud in June. The half-brother to multiple group winner Sacred Life (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) is out of Knyazhna (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}). “We are delighted to welcome Feed The Flame at La Hêtraie,” said Pascal Noue. “He made a strong impression to me with his finish in the Grand Prix de Paris, going from last to first in 250m demonstrating an uncommon capacity to accelerate. It is often the stamp of great stallions. “In addition, Feed The Flame is a nice horse, being 16.1½ h.h (1m66), athletic and with a lot quality. He has the look of a good horse, and it will be a pity to restrict him to only National Hunt production only because he is standing at La Hêtraie and that his dam is a daughter of Montjeu… A horse like him, son to champion sire Kingman, has everything to produce high class Flat horses. I would like to thank Jean Louis Bouchard for trusting us and also Gérard Larrieu (Chantilly Bloodstock) for his help.” The post Feed The Flame Will Stand At Haras De La Hetraie Next Year appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The whole of France was represented among the buyers, at all market levels. Numerous French or French-based trainers were active right from Part I, such as Yann Barberot who bought one of the sale's top prices, a son of Night Of Thunder (Ire) consigned by Haras du Mont dit Mont for French owners, and Fabrice Chappet who purchased a son of Victor Ludorum (GB) for Jean-Christophe Moran. We'd like to salute this fine French business, which contributes to the dynamism of our industry. All these yearlings are eligible for the Arqana Series next year. “The month of October was also an opportunity to support a cause particularly close to our hearts, the fight against cancer, through the Pink October movement. Thanks to all those who took part in the various actions organized, notably Baroda Stud, Haras de Montaigu, La Motteraye Consignment, Haras de l'Aumônerie and Haras d'Étreham, that walked all week in aid of the fight against cancer.” The post Strong Demand Positive Theme As Curtain Falls On Arqana October appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
