Morplay Racing and Qatar Racing's 'TDN Rising Star' Shisospicy (Mitole) faced a couple of niggling questions entering Saturday's GII Music City Stakes at Kentucky Downs. Already accomplished over sharper turf sprint trips, how would she handle the extended 6 1/2-furlong distance of the $2-million contest, one, and two, what sort of lingering hangover might there be from an overseas trip to face the boys in the G1 Commonwealth Cup, when she dropped away tamely to finish in the latter third of that 21-strong field? Well, it took fewer than 75 second for the fleet-footed gray filly to answer those questions, and the end result was a dominating victory to get her on track for the rest of her sophomore season. Just the third betting choice at 13-4 behind favored Kilwin (Twirling Candy), returning to the grass after upsetting the GI Test Stakes on the dirt Saratoga, and Juddmonte's dual British Group 3 winner Tabiti (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Shisospicy was first to break the line from her wide draw, but soon had company in the form of longshot Gata Brazil (Into Mischief) through an opening quarter-mile down the hill in :21.83. Going along under a tight hold while retaining a foothold at the fence beneath Irad Ortiz, Jr., Shisospicy was sent into the lead 2 1/2 furlongs from home and proved not for catching down the lane. Fellow Jose D'Angelo trainee Cloe (Tiz the Law) railed through to follow the move of her stablemate, but was no match late, while Tabiti weaved her way through to win a photo for third. Named a 'Rising Star' on debut and twice stakes-placed from three starts on the dirt to begin her career, Shisospicy proved equally proficient on the grass with consecutive victories in Gulfstream allowance company in February, in the Apr. 11 Limestone Stakes at Keeneland and in the GIII Mamzelle Stakes at Churchill in May. Those were both 5 1/2-furlong tests, and despite first ruling out a trip to Royal Ascot, D'Angelo ultimately green-lighted the journey after Qatar Racing acquired an interest in the filly. But Shisospicy had run her race by the time they met the rising ground at Ascot and could do no better than 15th. Despite the sub-par effort across the pond, D'Angelo lost no faith in Shisospicy. “I was very confident, because Shisospicy ran such a big race in the Mamzelle (at 5 1/2 furlongs, winning by 4 1/4 lengths) against good competition,” D'Angelo said. “And Cloe ran good at Santa Anita at the 6 1/2 (downhill turf course in the GIII Senorita Stakes). It was a very unlucky trip, her first time over that course. She was like, 'Where am I?' She ran third by a length. So, I was very confident.” Pedigree Notes: One of six winners at the graded level for her Spendthrift-based stallion, Shisospicy is out of a mare that cost Mitole owners Bill and Corinne Heiligbrodt some $90,000 as a short-yearling at the 2017 OBS January Sale and was never out of the money in her seven career appearances. The second of two winners produced by Mischief Galore, Shisospicy has a 2-year-old half-brother by the Heiligbrodts' Yaupon, who was a $75,000 KEENOV weanling, $175,000 FTKOCT yearling and $250,000 FTMMAY breezer who has since been sent to the United Arab Emirates. Mischief Galore was sold on for $40,000 at KEEJAN in 2024 and produced a Yaupon filly last April. She was bred to Jackie's Warrior this past breeding season. All being equal, Shisospicy will make her next appearance at Del Mar on the first Saturday in November in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint. “Shisospicy at five furlongs on the turf, she's so fast,” he said.

The betting public had Saturday's GI Del Mar Debutante down to a battle of Bob Baffert-trained 'TDN Rising Stars' Explora (Blame) and Himika (Curlin), but Jill Baffert's BOTTLE OF ROUGE (f, 2, Vino Rosso–Blues Corner, by Bluegrass Cat)–easily the least-fancied of a trio from that barn, proved best on the afternoon, causing a 9-1 upset. Veering in at the break, the $100,000 Keeneland September yearling took up a mid-field berth in the early stages as 2-5 Explora rolled up at the fence to take up the running, while Himika sat a good trip just in behind those. The latter peeled away from the inside and Bottle of Rouge ranged up three deep, and at the quarter pole, it was a Baffert 1-2-3, with any of the trio in with a chance. Himika was first to hoist the white flag and Explora began to feel the strain of a decent early gallop, and Mike Smith and Bottle of Rouge won the war by about a length in the finish. Bottle of Rouge is the seventh stakes winner and first at the Grade I level for Spendthrift Farm's Vino Rosso. Baffert was unsaddling his 12th Debutante winner.

Overlooked at the windows to the tune of 22-1, Plensa (Caravaggio) fired a big shot in the Exacta Systems Gun Runner Stakes and landed in the winner's circle at Kentucky Downs on Saturday. After finishing as the runner-up in two tries last fall to break his maiden, the dark bay finally graduated on his fourth attempt June 15 under the Twin Spires. The colt was last seen running third against optional claimers over the Spa turf July 18. Plensa was in the mix early before dropping towards the rear of the field as a pair of longshots took the field up the backstretch towards the far turn. From the rail, the Rusty Arnold trainee continued to bide his time, but moving to an outside lane at the top of the stretch gave him the running room he needed. Plensa flashed some serious turn of foot, cleared inside the final sixteenth and scooped up his first black-type score. The winner's dam is responsible for 2-year-old colt Infiltrate (Oscar Performance), who just broke his maiden at first asking over the Pea Patch's main track Aug. 8. Proximity Bias also produced a yearling filly by Oscar Performance last year and a weanling colt by Liam's Map back in the spring. She was bred to Life Is Good for 2026.

Making his second start of an apparently audacious $100,000 claim, Flying P Stable's OLE CRAZY BONE (g, 5, Ghostzapper–Southern Gem, by Smart Strike) raced prominently throughout Saturday's running of the $2.5-million GII KTDF Kentucky Turf Cup Invitational Stakes at Kentucky Downs and came away in the final eighth of a mile to punch his ticket to the GI Breeders' Cup Turf at Del Mar on Nov. 1. Haltered out of a runner-up effort over the Churchill turf course on June 26, the 5-year-old was last seen in the Turf Cup Preview race at Ellis Park Aug. 3, when he was checked at a crucial stage in upper stretch and flew home to just miss. Ridden forward here with Flavien Prat taking over, Ole Crazy Bone raced in third position turning down the backstretch as Corruption (Medaglia d'Oro) showed the way through a half in :48.87. Up into a clear second at the midway stage, Ole Crazy Bone continued to stalk the front runner into the sweeping far turn and was poised with a half-mile to travel. Nudged along five-sixteenths from home, Ole Crazy Bone claimed Corruption with a furlong and a half to travel and raced away to score convincingly. Tawny Port (Pioneerof the Nile), third to Grand Sonata (Medaglia d'Oro) last year and runner-up in the Gold Cup over an extended two-mile trip here on Aug. 30, ran on for second just ahead of Corruption in third. It was a sixth Turf Cup for trainer Mike Maker. Sales history: $190,000 Wlg '20 KEENOV; $150,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 19-7-5-2.

Delayed several minutes because of the storms sweeping through the area Saturday afternoon, recent GI Saratoga Derby Invitational winner World Beater made it two straight with a victory in the GIII Old Dominion Derby at Colonial Downs. Sent off the hot 2-5 choice for a distance he clearly relishes, the Pin Oak-bred colt entered this contest off a pair of Grade Is at the Spa–a second-place finish in the nine-furlong Belmont Derby on July 4 and a narrow score in the Saratoga Derby over 1 mile and three-sixteenths Aug. 2. Breaking cleanly from post 6, the chestnut was settled just behind as Iron Hand and Outrunner led over a soggy quarter in :25.38. Still cruising along two deep in fourth through a half in :51.18, the favorite was eager to go and jumped to the front straightening for home. In command from there, World Beater came home a geared-down winner over Mesero with early pacesetter finishing third. “He was rolling very good today,” said winning rider Jamie Torres. “He didn't care about how wet it was. I'm very, very happy with him. He's all talent.” Torres' win aboard World Beater in the Old Dominion Derby capped off three consecutive stakes victories on the day, including piloting As Catch Can to victory in the Old Dominion Oaks and Doncho in the Da Hoss Stakes. In a pair of starts at two, World Beater was anything but when giving it a go on the dirt, finishing ninth at both Churchill Downs and Keeneland. Returning in 2025 with a different game plan, trainer Riley Mott started the colt in a 7 1/2-furlong turf test at Gulfstream and the son of Oscar Performance finished a much-improved third, beaten only a length. Runner-up adding another furlong at Keeneland in April, the Kentucky-bred finally broke through while extending to nine panels when returning to Louisville May 2. After finding his sweet spot, Mott returned the colt to that distance and venue for the May 31 Audubon Stakes and was duly rewarded with a neck victory. “I'm just very thankful that we could bring the horse here in good shape and perform well in front of this crowd,” added Mott. “We've got a big group here with my wife's side coming in from Charlottesville, Virginia. We will watch him for a week or two to see [what's next]. It's been a long season for him, but we have pretty big aspirations for his four-year-old year next year.” Pedigree Notes: Dr. John Chandler, the breeder of Saturday's Old Colonial Derby winner World Beater, is also responsible for heaving bred his dam, Dabinett. Stakes winning second dam Sharp Apple (Diesis {GB}) is also responsible for European MGSW and French G1SP Pomology (Arch), as well as MGISP Sassy Little Lila (Artie Schiller). Both were also bred by Chandler. World Beater has a year-younger full brother named Heere's Johnny who recently finished second in the GIII With Anticipation Stakes at Saratoga. The winner also has a pair of sisters produced over the past two seasons by the Mill Ridge sire.

Donamire Farm homebred Troubleshooting (c, 3, Not This Time–Into Trouble, by Into Mischief), a smart winner of the Dade Park Dash S. at Ellis Park July 4, got up to post a narrow victory in Saturday's GI Ainsworth Franklin-Simpson S. at Kentucky Downs. He becomes the eighth Grade I winner for leading young sire Not This Time. Of at odds of 5-1, he raced within striking distance in fifth and came charging on the outside to defeat Golden Afternoon (Goldencents) by a neck. Governor Sam (Improbable) was third. The final time for 6 1/2 furlongs was 1:14.33. Troubleshooting entered off a narrow second-place finish in an allowance sprinting on grass at Ellis Park Aug. 4. Troubleshooting becomes the third Grade I winner for broodmare sire Into Mischief, joining White Abarrio (Race Day) and Alva Starr (Lord Nelson). Into Mischief is also the broodmare sire of 'TDN Rising Star' Shisospicy (Mitole), who won the GII Ags Music City S. one race earlier on the same card. The stakes-winning Into Trouble, a $180,000 KEESEP yearling purchase by the Ball family's operation, is also responsible for the multiple stakes-placed Big Trouble (Kantharos), the unraced 2-year-old colt Trouble Calling (Dialed In), a yearling filly by Nashville and a colt by Nashville of this year. Into Trouble was bred back to Kantharos. Lifetime Record: 9-3-3-0 O/B-Donamire Farm (KY); T-Gregory D. Foley.

By Mike Love Ashburton trainer-driver John Hay returns from winter hibernation to line up his well-thought-of gelding Moonshiner on the grass at Methven today. In what could be the omen bet considering the full moon this weekend, Moonshiner is a $3.50 favourite in Race 7, the Peter Lagan Standardbreds Pace over 2400m at 2.49pm. “I haven’t raced anything over the past few winters. I went on holiday for a month, so he (Moonshiner) had five weeks off. “I’m working eight at the moment. All just young ones and qualifiers. He’s the only racehorse I’ve got at the moment,” said Hay. The three-year-old Always B Miki gelding has not raced since winning his maiden back in April at Banks Peninsula, but trainer Hay still expects a good run. “I’m happy with his work at home. He’s done plenty. His workout was good, although we didn’t go much time,” said Hay. That workout was just last week at Methven, and although the times weren’t worth a second look, he still won very nicely. His last 800 was 64.2. “I expect him to go a good race. Just whether or not he can win, I don’t know. But he will improve a lot with the run too, whatever he does.” Moonshiner is no stranger to the Mt Harding circuit. As well as wining the workout he placed there too before winning his maiden. “He’s carrying a bit more weight this time, but that could just be him now. He’s strengthened up a lot,” said Hay. While Moonshiner is having his first race out of maidens at just his sixth race day appearance, other horses in the event are much more experienced. Santanna Mach ($10.00FF), for instance, has won 23 races from 246 starts. Swift Guy ($.5.50) looks set to start second favourite while Logan Rock and Fergalicious are also well supported ($6.50).

Sunday, Baden-Baden, Germany, post time: 15:25, WETTSTAR.DE – 155TH GROSSER PREIS VON BADEN-G1, €300,000, 3yo/up, 12fT Field: Alleno (Ire) (Nathaniel {Ire}), Cold Heart (Brz) (Alpha, Dubai Honour (Ire) (Pride Of Dubai {Aus}), Goliath (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Straight (Ger) (Zarak {Fr}), Path Of Soldier (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}). TDN Verdict: This contest has lost much of its lustre with the defection of G1 Deutsches Derby hero Hochkonig and Godolphin's globetrotting multiple Group 1 winner Rebel's Romance. Their absence provides an ideal opportunity for last term's G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes hero Goliath to regain the winning habit after an uninspiring last-of-five in June's G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and a second in last month's G3 Prix Gontaut Biron. Last year's runner-up and April's G1 Tancred Stakes victor Dubai Honour returns to European action for the first time since November and rates a serious threat. Last year's Deutsches Derby fourth Alleno and this year's fourth Path Of Soldier head the home defence. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 15:50, QATAR PRIX DU MOULIN DE LONGCHGAMP-G1, €800,000, 3yo/up, 8fT Field: Marhaba Ya Sanafi (Ire) (Muhaarar {GB}), Quddwah (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Rosallion (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Dancing Gemini (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Go To First (Jpn) (Rulership {Jpn}), Lead Artist (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Persica (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Alcantor (Fr) (New Bay {GB}), Sahlan (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), The Lion In Winter (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Henri Matisse (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Serengeti (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). TDN Verdict: Richard Hannon has yet to win this contest and is represented by Rosallion, winless in four Group 1 starts this year, and his Group 3-winning stablemate Persica in a hot renewal. Aidan O'Brien is three-handed, with jockey bookings and form suggesting G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero Henri Matisse as the obvious stable preference. Last term's Poulains runner-up Dancing Gemini, who has finished behind G1 Lockinge Stakes hero Lead Artist twice this year, was ahead of Japan's Go To First when third in last month's G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois. Domestic hopes rest with outsiders Sahlan and Alcantor. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 16:25, QATAR PRIX VERMEILLE-G1, €900,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 12fT Field: Survie (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}), Aventure (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Ginalyah (Ire) (Chachnak {Fr}), Bedtime Story (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Whirl (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Gezora (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}). TDN Verdict: This mouthwatering distaffers' clash plays host to G1 Prix de Diane heroine Gezora eyeballing G1 Pretty Polly Stakes and G1 Nassau Stakes victrix Whirl. The former was one length too good for Whirl's stablemate Bedtime Story in the Chantilly Classic and should confirm form with the Ballydoyle back-up, who has failed to fire on all cylinders in two subsequent starts. Christophe Ferland trainee Aventure, runner-up in this and G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, was last seen finishing second in June's G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and is an obvious danger. Survie has plenty to find with Aventure and Whirl on recent form and returns to action coming back off a second in last month's G1 Prix Jean Romanet, while Ginalyah's presence is baffling. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Baden-Baden, Germany, post time: 14:00, 92ND BRUNNER – OETTINGEN-RENNEN-G2, €70,000, 3yo/up, 8fT Field: Best Lightning (Fr) (Sidestep {Aus}), Geography (Ger) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), Glady Tiger (Ger) (Zoffany {Ire}), Make Me King (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Penalty (Ger) (Frankel {GB}), Short Final (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Zabiari (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Quebec (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}). TDN Verdict: This open renewal is at the mercy of the Francis Graffard-trained G3 Prix Bertrand de Breuil victor and G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois seventh Zabiari. He encounters last year's winner Penalty, who has failed to fire in five starts since, the four-time Group 3 winner Geography and the consistent veteran Best Lightning, who is set to make his fourth start in this contest.
