It wasn't the easiest of trips for Zulu Kingdom (IRE) but in the end it propelled him to where any talented 2-year-old wants to be. Namely, the Breeders' Cup World Championships. View the full article

Sandwiched between Baffert stablemates in pacesetter National Treasure (Quality Road) and 'TDN Rising Star' Newgate (Into Mischief) on the wire, it was last out GIII Philip H. Iselin Stakes winner SUBSANADOR (ARG) (h, 5, Fortify–Save the Date {Arg}, by Hurricane Cat) who got his head out in front to take the inaugural running of the GI California Crown and earn his spot in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic. Just off the speed and along the inside of expected frontrunner National Treasure, the 6-1 shot came rolling home with Newgate to his outside and the trio separated themselves from the rest of the field a sixteenth from the wire, hitting the line together in a thrilling photo finish. GI Met Mile winner National Treasure was second with Newgate third. Lifetime Record: MG1SW-Arg, 17-9-2-1. O-Wathnan Racing; B-El Mallin; T-Richard Mandella. Incredible! Three horses hit the wire together and the horse in the middle #2 SUBSANADOR ($14.20) gets the nose down first to win the inaugural $1M California Crown Stakes (G1) at Santa Anita. @mikeesmith10 was in the irons for Richard Mandella.

Rubylot surges to his fourth win. David Hayes will aim Rubylot at the HK$13 million Hong Kong Classic Mile (1600m) in January after the talented gelding claimed the Class 3 Yan Chai Trophy Handicap (1200m) with a devastating sprint at Sha Tin on Saturday. Ridden by Brenton Avdulla in place of Hugh Bowman, who was indisposed, Rubylot posted his fourth win from 13 starts and is, according to Hayes, the most improved horse in the dual Hong Kong champion trainer’s stable. Sixth on the home turn, Rubylot (132lb) accelerated brilliantly over the final 400m, clocking 21.81s, to overhaul Bottomuptogether (135lb) to emphatically stamp his Four-Year-Old Classic Series credentials. “He’s in the Classic Series. He’s my number one miler, I reckon,” Hayes said. “I thought the horse was good and it’s so nice to see it happen. He’s definitely my most improved horse. “That was big and he’ll only be better over 1400m and a mile. He’s quite exciting, I think. I was a little bit scared it could be too short and it nearly was, but he’s run down a very good horse (Bottomuptogether).” Rubylot was one of four emerging gallopers to forge into Four-Year-Old Classic Series reckoning. Harold Win, winner of the first section of the Class 4 Sha Tsui Handicap (1200m) under Andrea Atzeni, also emerged as a potential Four-Year-Old Classic Series galloper for reigning champion Francis Lui before Cody Mo’s Pray For Mir and Pierre Ng’s Prestige Always also charged into the Hong Kong Classic Mile contention. Justify gelding Pray For Mir won two races when he raced as Javaja for Stuart Kendrick at the Sunshine Coast in Australia last year before transferring to Mo’s stable, while Starspangledbanner gelding Prestige Always won a race in Ireland when he raced as Mythology for Joseph O’Brien. Both earned PP Bonuses of HK$1.5 million. Ng and Zac Purton secured trainer and jockey honours, respectively, after Prestige Always clung on as Britney Wong, Ben Thompson, Alfred Chan and Jimmy Ting all posted milestone wins at Sha Tin. Wong, who scored on Jolly Companion for Manfred Man, celebrated her first win on Sha Tin’s All Weather Track and her second overall in Hong Kong. “We knew the pace was going to be very fast and we decided to be very positive out of the gate, even if it took 400 metres, and we eventually got to the front nice,” Wong said. “I’ve been working very closely with Felix (Coetzee) to improve how I jump and, with the 10lb claim and drawing barrier four today and carrying only 109lb, we were carrying a lot less than the other horses, which was a big advantage. “He travelled happy and turning into the straight, he gave me a big kick and he just kept going and it was nice to get a win for Manfred.” Australian Ben Thompson notched his first winner of the campaign when he substituted for Bowman on Daily Trophy for Caspar Fownes. “Hugh’s misfortune has been my fortune, so right place, right time,” Thompson said. “I’m very thankful to Caspar Fownes’ connections for giving me the ride on him today. “Obviously, we have had half a dozen meetings and it’s a place that moves very quickly and it was nice to get on the right horse today, so may the winners keep coming.” Fownes said: “It’s nice for Ben to get a win there. He did a good job – rode the horse perfectly. I just wanted to prove that if you give jockeys some decent rides, they can prove themselves and their worth. He’s given the horse a perfect ride. In Hong Kong, if you’re riding horses that are not in form, it’s very hard to prove your ability. “This is a horse who has always run well on the dirt. When I looked at the race, there were quite a few jockeys available, and I said, ‘you know what, I’ll give Ben a chance’. I’m so happy he got the result and hopefully now people can give him some support and he can show his ability.” Alfred Chan continued the breakthrough theme with his victory on Danny Shum-trained Super Legends. “I haven’t ridden a winner at Sha Tin on grass for maybe two years and I’m really thankful to Danny – I work for him every morning, seven days a week and finally I got something in return, which is perfect,” Chan, 30 said. “I’m very grateful for the opportunity.” Jimmy Ting notched his maiden victory for the campaign when Harry Bentley piloted Deal Completed to success. Matthew Poon continued his excellent start to the season with his sixth win for the term with success atop Michael Chang-trained Casa Legend before Purton scored on Ng-trained Fighting Machine.

Dornoch (Good Magic–Puca, by Big Brown), a leading 3-year-old colt with impressive wins in the 2024 GI Belmont Stakes and GI Haskell Stakes, has been diagnosed with bone bruising, which will force him to miss his planned final start in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic. Dornoch, fourth in the GI Travers Stakes last out, has been retired from racing and will begin his stud career at Spendthrift Farm in 2025. “Dornoch's performance in the Travers really wasn't what we expected, and we just have not been happy with the way he's trained since,” trainer Danny Gargan said. “We decided to have the vets go over him thoroughly before we started to really ramp up his works for the Breeders' Cup. That's when some bone bruising was discovered. The Breeders' Cup (Classic) was going to be his last race anyway, so, given the timing, the right thing to do is to retire him.” Gargan continued, “Dornoch owes us nothing. He's the best horse I've ever trained, and our team is going to miss having him around the barn. But we are also excited about his future. He's going to a great place in Spendthrift, and I think Dornoch has a big chance to be a good sire.” Dornoch, winner of last year's GII Remsen Stakes and this year's GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes, retires with career earnings of $2,427,275 for his owners West Paces Racing, R. A. Hill Stable, Belmar Racing, Two Eight Racing, and Pine Racing Stables. The $325,000 Keeneland September yearling graduate is out of the Big Brown mare Puca and is a full-brother to 2023 Kentucky Derby winner Mage. He was bred in Kentucky by Grandview Equine. “We are very excited to have Dornoch join our stallion roster,” said Ned Toffey, Spendthrift's general manager. “He's just a tremendous individual, with a pedigree and race record to match. Dornoch won a couple of major Grade I races from 1 1/8 miles to 1 1/4 miles this year. We believe he's the best 3-year-old we've seen from the Curlin line, and he really has all the makings of a special stallion prospect. We look forward to showing him off to our breeders in the near future.” Details on Dornoch's 2025 stud fee and availability for inspection at Spendthrift will be announced at a later date. For more information about Dornoch, please contact Des, Mark, Brian, or Daniel at Spendthrift Farm at 859-294-0030.

KALEA BAY (c, 2, Authentic–For Royalty {SW}, by Not For Love), who had placed in a pair of Del Mar maidens this summer, made it third time lucky under Flavien Prat here. Despite bumping with Smartier (Liam's Map) in the initial strides, the prohibitive 3-10 favorite in the field of six assumed command and set demanding fractions of :21.63 and :44.45 while unchallenged. Given his cue turning for home, he opened up his advantage over his toiling rivals and prevailed by 8 1/2 lengths over the debuting 3-1 second choice Day and Age (Omaha Beach).Kalea Bay is his sire (by Into Mischief)'s 11th winner. #3 KALEA BAY ($2.60) goes gate-to-wire to easily win race 2 at Santa Anita.

One of two Chad Brown runners in the field, the GIII With Anticipation winner ZULU KINGDOM (IRE) (c, 2, Ten Sovereigns {Ire}–Zindziswa, by Smart Strike) went off favored at 4-5 and just lasted over the charging maiden Noble Confessor (Uncle Mo) to win the GII Pilgrim Stakes at Aqueduct and punch his ticket into the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf. Marred in traffic up the backstretch in a field that stayed tightly grouped, Zulu Kingdom had to angle out under Joel Rosario and come running over a turf course listed as yielding. While he looked home free, Noble Confessor flew up the rail and made things tight on the wire but ultimately had to settle for second. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0.

By Mike Love Carrera Bravo headlines Kimberly Butt’s four drives at Phar Lap Raceway in Timaru today. But there is a word of warning. Carrera Bravo ($3.20FF) is in Race 2, the Happy Birthday Marion Begg Mobile Pace for Butt and her Ashburton-based employers Brent and Tim White. “He should be a pretty good chance again. He should be running on at the end.” The three-year-old Downbytheseaside gelding has placed twice from as many starts, with the start crucial to his chances. “He’s got a few tricks up his sleeve, so as long as he behaves in the score up I expect him to be competitive.” The market currently projects The Mantis ($1.90FF) to start as a warm favourite. Butt also drives fresh up runner Jazzy’s Upstart ($18.00FF) for the Whites in Race 6, the Empire Hotel Social Club Mobile Pace. After winning her maiden back in May on today’s track, Butt suggests the Downbytheseaside filly will benefit from today’s return. “She’s quite a big girl so needed that break. But she will be dictated by her draw.” “There’s a couple of smart ones in there. It definitely won’t be easy for her. But she’s a good each way chance with the right run.” Butt also drives two for Phil Anderson. Freedoms Beauty ($21.00FF) in Race 3, the Morrison’s Saddlery & Feed Pace ran second three starts back at Rangiora. “No luck whatsoever with her recently. But she has good manners and if she can bring them with her she’s a good first four player.” Rounding out Butt’s engagements is Ideal Chevron ($12.00FF) in Race 9, Race 9, the Mainfert Mobile Pace. The five-year-old American Ideal gelding will be looking to record his fourth career win. “He went off the boil for a couple of starts but I was happy with him at Mot last week. He can probably make his own luck so we will see how we get off the gate and work our way into the race from there.” Butt has driven 174 winners to date, including 19 this season. Racing commences from 12:20pm and is the final meeting supporting Blue September, the fund-raiser for the New Zealand Prostate Cancer Foundation. View the full article

Far Bridge outdueled favored War Like Goddess for his second straight top-level score in the $500,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic (G1T) Sept. 28 at Belmont at the Big A.View the full article

The late English Channel was himself a two-time winner of the race now known as the GI Joe Hirsch Turf Classic, scoring in 2006 and 2007, the last of which preceded a victory in the Monmouth bog in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf a handful of weeks later. George Krikorian's outstanding turf distaffer War Like Goddess (English Channel) was in search of an unprecedented third straight win against the boys in the 12-furlong contest, but LSU Stables' 'TDN Rising Star' FAR BRIDGE (c, 4, English Channel–Fitpitcher, by Kitten's Joy)–whose dam sire won the 2004 Turf Classic and accounted for 2015 winner Big Blue Kitten–was patiently ridden by Joel Rosario, slipped through at the inside with less than a furlong to race and outfinished the mare to lead home a 1-2 finish for the late stallion. Whereas Joel Rosario surprised the field in the GI Sword Dancer Stakes by leading through slow fractions, Far Bridge was taken back to second last, with only War Like Goddess trailing him, as Get Smokin (Get Stormy) controlled the pace while being tracked through by favored Silver Knott (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}). The Godolphin runner inherited the lead fully three furlongs out when the pacesetter dropped anchor and went for home, but Junior Alvarado had gone for the two-time defending champion in the meantime and were up into a challenging position from second nearing the stretch. The 7-year-old mare went to Silver Knott at midstretch and looked on her way, but Far Bridge was in full gear by this stage, riding the rails to hit the lead where the chute intersects the course proper and fought off a resurgent War Like Goddess for the victory. Lifetime Record: 13-6-3-2. O-LSU Stables; B-Calumet Farm (KY); T-Christophe Clement.

John and Clodagh McStay of Oaklawn Stud near the Curragh, have placed that 68-acre property up for auction on Oct. 25, The Irish Field reported. The stud, which has two yards–Oaklawn Stud and Carhue Stud–will go under the hammer from 3 p.m. at the Keadeen Hotel, Newbridge, unless sold prior to the auction date. Originally the property of the O'Mahony family with a history dating back over 100 years, the property was developed by John's father, the late Michael McStay, and has been owned and managed since the late 1980s by John and Clodagh. A notable winner off of the property is G1 Irish Oaks heroine Covert Love (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}). The land is organised into 23 divisions with an internal roadway system leading to all paddocks. The guiding price is €1.5 million. Jordan Auctioneers (Paddy Jordan/Liam Hargaden) (045 433550) are handling the auction. Earlier in October, Steve Parkin's 206-acre Curragh property will also be auctioned at Keadeen Hotel. Beginning at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 3, the parcel will be sold by Coonan Property and Raymond Potteron. The guiding price is €4.7 million. Parkin sold Clipper Logistics for almost £1 billion in May of 2022, and purchased Dullingham Park Stud in Newmarket last year. He earlier acquired Branton Court Stud.

The third annual Horse Racing Women's Summit (HRWS) presented by 1/ST and FanDuel TV returned to the West Coast where 125 gathered in Arcadia, California to attend panel discussions and engage in a variety of networking activities, the conference said in a press release on Saturday. After Wednesday's welcome reception, the group convened the next day at the Le Meridien Hotel with opening speaker Catherine Iste, Chief Administrative Officer for the Los Angeles Chargers. The first panel discussion followed, which was entitled “Peak Performance,” and featured Zoe Cadman, Karen Crouse, Samantha Huge and Emma-Jayne Wilson. “None of us gets to where we are alone,” said Crouse. “You have to find the people who are going to support you. And it's really important to get that support from outside of your primary realm.” The second panel centered around a discussion about “Women at the Helm,” and participants included Tracy Attfield, Vicky Leonard, Robyn Theodorakis and Dr. Alina Vale DVM, MS. The afternoon was highlighted by the Jane Goldstein Exemplary Leadership Award presentation. Jillian Tullock accepted the award on behalf of this year's recipient, Georganne Hale, Maryland Jockey Club's Vice President of Racing Development. After the luncheon, attendees reconvened for a keynote presentation and workshop, hosted by comedian and author Katie Goodman. On Friday, attendees took in Santa Anita Park for a special set of tours. The next HRWS event will be held Thursday, Oct. 31 at Del Mar and a handicapping contest that will benefit the HRWS Pay It Forward Program. Tickets can be purchased here. It has been an incredible weekend so far during our third annual #HRWS. So many amazing moments and memories were created! Thank you to the 120+ who joined us this year.

If you didn't get your fill of stakes action on Saturday, this is the weekend for you. Five more graded stakes, including the 'Win and You're In' GII Miss Grillo Stakes, as well as the final leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, will take place on Sunday. 'TDN Rising Star' Virgin Colada (More Than Ready) will look to punch her ticket to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf in a wide-open renewal of the Miss Grillo at the Belmont at the Big A meeting. A flashy come-from-behind debut winner over the lawn at the Spa July 21, she got going too late to finish second as the chalk in the P. G. Johnson Stakes upstate Aug. 28. No trainer has won the Miss Grillo more than Chad Brown. In addition to the aforementioned rail-drawn 7-2 morning-line favorite, Brown will have two more chances for a record- extending 10th win in the Miss Grillo with Sept. 1 second-out maiden winner Opulent Restraint (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and New York-bred debut winner Marvelous Madison (Caravaggio). The full field of 12 also includes the two-for-two Kentucky Downs Juvenile Fillies Stakes heroine May Day Ready (Tapit) and Catch A Glimpse Stakes upsetter Shifty (Medaglia d'Oro). The nine-race program at the Big A also features a fantastic showdown between GI Test Stakes winner 'TDN Rising Star' Ways and Means (Practical Joke) and three-for-three Nic's Style (Uncaptured) in the GII Gallant Bloom Stakes. A pair of graded stakes will share the spotlight at Santa Anita Sunday. The GII Santa Anita Sprint Championship Stakes includes Fort Bragg (Tapit) and Straight No Chaser (Speightster). A field of six will throw down two races earlier on the card in the GII Zenyatta Stakes. Most Wanted (Candy Ride {Arg}), the unbeaten half-brother to MGISW Life Is Good (Into Mischief), will put his three-for-three record on the line for trainer Brad Cox in the GIII Oklahoma Derby. He was a narrow winner of the Ellis Park Derby last out Aug. 11. Hurricane Clair (Silent Name {Jpn}) will be favored in the final leg of the Canadian Triple Crown at Woodbine. She seeks to become the first filly to win the Breeders' Stakes since 2012. Hurricane Clair won the Wonder Where Stakes, the final leg of the Canadian Triple Tiara, last time out Sept. 8.

Joseph O'Brien trainee Apples And Bananas (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}–Simannka {Ire}, by Mastercraftsman {Ire}), fresh off a black-type breakthrough in last month's Listed Criterium du Fonds Europeen de l'Elevage at Deauville, continued on a winning roll with a battling victory in Saturday's Goffs Million at the Curragh. The 5-2 second choice was quickly into stride from the stands' side stall and gained an immediate advantage in this seven-furlong test. Comfortable on the front end until scrubbed along with a quarter-mile remaining, he was tackled by 9-4 favourite Antelope Canyon (Ire) (No Nay Never) entering the final furlong and refused to yield under a late drive to bravely deny that rival by a head in a ding-dong thriller. Apples And Bananas, a €130,000 Goffs Orby graduate, is the second of three foals and lone scorer from two runners out of Listed Lenebane Stakes third Simannka (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), herself produced by a winning half-sister to multiple Group 1-winning sire Sinndar (Ire) (Grand Lodge). The May-foaled bay, whose third dam is stakes-winning matriarch Sinntara (Ire) (Lashkari {GB}), is full to a yearling colt.
