With leading NT jockey Jarrod Todd in the saddle, the Gary Clarke-trained Wolfburn wins the Metric Mile (1600m) at Fannie Bay in July during the Darwin Cup Carnival. Picture: Darwin Turf Club Darwin’s Hall of Fame trainer Gary Clarke continues to rewrite the record books after once again dominating the 2024 Top End Racing Awards held at the Darwin Turf Club on Friday night. Clarke’s Wolfburn, the Darwin Cup runner-up in August, won the Horse of the Year title and was also crowned Middle Distance/Stayer of the Year following his exploits during the 2023/24 season. It was Clarke’s ninth Horse of the Year title, having won it previously with Dream Face (2012), It’s Home (2014), Finke (2016), Ticket To Toorak (2017), Neat Feat (2018), The Captain (2019 and 2020) and Syncline (2022). Wolfburn had a tremendous year, winning the Metric Mile (1600m) and ROANT Gold Cup (1300m). He was also second behind Hadouken in the $200,000 Darwin Cup (2050m) after finishing second behind Bear Story in the Chief Minister’s Cup (1600m). Meanwhile, the Chris Nash-trained Ideas Man was named Sprinter of the Year. Ideas Man’s seven starts at 1300m or less resulted in four wins and a third in the $135,000 Palmerston Sprint (1200m), a race where he came second last year. Nash, like Clarke, had two wins on Friday night, with Son Of Bielski a clear winner of the Out Of Carnival Award after six wins from seven starts, including the St Patrick’s Day Cup (1600m). The Three-Year-Old of the Year title saw Phil Cole’s Miami Vice come out on top by a single point from Ella Clarke’s Debating. Miami Vice won twice and was placed three times from his eight starts during the season. Gary Clarke extended his trainers’ premiership record with a 12th successive title after 67 wins. He was also the Darwin Cup Carnival’s leading trainer for the 11th time – the last seven in succession. Clarke had 12 wins over the eight days of Carnival – two less than last year, as well as 25 minor placings. Stable rider Jarrod Todd (60 wins) was the Champion Jockey for the fifth straight year, and in the process broke David Bates’ record of 59 wins set during the 1997/98 season. Todd emulated Clarke by also being crowned the Carnival’s leading jockey with 11 wins – it was his eighth title and fifth in succession. Emma Lines, who began riding in December 2022, was the Champion Apprentice Jockey for the second successive year. She rode 34 winners in the Top End and added a further 14 in Alice Springs. The Tried Horse Sale Performer of the Year went to Jason Manning’s Bon’s Pride, who won four times and finished second on four occasions during the season, amassing $106,550 in prizemoney. He cost $22,000 at the 2023 Darwin Magic Millions Tried Horse Sale. The Consistency and Longevity Award, a new award, went to New Enterprise, trained and co-owned by Peter Stennett. New Enterprise had 20 starts for four wins and seven minor placings, amassing 61 points from Bon’s Pride (55), Global Wonder (54) and Son Of Bielski (53). Women in Thoroughbred Racing NT Awards: Tayarn Halter (11 wins), Jockey: Emma Lines (34) Strapper of the Year: Hannah Boyle (Gary Clarke) Character of Racing Award: Chris Pollard (trainer) Aftercare Award: Samantha Hill Judges for the equine awards were Andrew O’Toole (Thoroughbred Racing NT chief executive officer), Greg Aldam (TRNT board member), Craig Sant (Darwin race-caller) and David White (horsebetting.com.au).

MGSW/GISP 'TDN Rising Star' Messier (Empire Maker–Checkered Past, by Smart Strike) will stand stud in 2025 at New York's Rockridge Stud for $5,000 LFSN in a deal brokered by Matt Bowling of Bowling Bloodstock, the farm announced Friday. The Sam-Son Farm homebred was purchased at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Sale by Donato Lanni on behalf of SF Bloodstock, Madaket Stables, and Starlight Racing for $470,000 and broke his maiden in his 2nd start to become a 'Rising Star', winning by 6 1/2 lengths. He bested Forbidden Kingdom (American Pharoah) in his next start in the GIII Bob Hope Stakes and followed that with a runner-up finish in the GII Los Alamitos Futurity. A 15-length victory in his 3-year-old debut in the GIII Robert B. Lewis earned a 103 Beyer and he secured a spot in the GI Kentucky Derby with another runner-up finish in the GI Santa Anita Derby in April. As a 5-year-old, he took wins in the Excelsior Stakes at Aqueduct in March and followed up a few weeks later with a win in the GIII Westchester at the Belmont at Aqueduct meet. He retired with a record of 15-4-5-1 and earnings of $593,690. “Messier was an exceptionally athletic colt with a very high cruising speed,” said SF's Tom Ryan. “He won graded stakes races at ages two and three and again at age five. His performance in the Bob Lewis was outstanding, stopping the clock at 1:42.40 and winning by 15 lengths with a 103 Beyer. He is an exciting addition to the stallion ranks in New York.” Messier joins Americanrevolution, Chewing Gum, Disco Partner, Mind Control, Slumber, and War Dancer for the 2025 season at Rockridge Stud.

Sophomore turfers will enjoy the spotlight in the GIII Commonwealth Turf Stakes at Churchill Downs, one of three graded stakes races on tap Saturday. Frankly Speaking homebred Dashman (Oscar Performance) won two straight in Kentucky this summer, then was a solid fourth with trouble behind MGISW Carson's Run (Cupid) and next-out GIII Hill Prince Stakes winner and 'TDN Rising Star' Deterministic (Liams' Map) in the GIII Jockey Club Derby Invitational going 1 3/8 miles at Aqueduct Oct. 5. The 5-2 morning-line favorite turns back to 1 1/16 miles here. “He came out of the race at Aqueduct in good shape,” Nic Lynch, assistant trainer to his father Brian Lynch, told TwinSpires Racing. “He's had a couple of breezes since then; he had a nice half on Saturday, just an easy maintenance work to get him to the race. He's been good. He hasn't been out of the feed tub. He's in the bridle when he's training. We're expecting a good outcome on Saturday.” The Commonwealth also includes four runners exiting the GIII Bryan Station Stakes at Keeneland Oct. 26–Herchee (Twirling Candy) (third), Evade (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) (fourth), Lagynos (Kantharos) (fifth) and My Boy Prince (Cairo Prince) (ninth). Churchill's 11-race program also features the GIII Chilukki Stakes, led by 'TDN Rising Star' Two Sharp (Twirling Candy), narrow runner-up in this summer's GIII Prioress Stakes at Saratoga and a last-out runaway allowance winner at Keeneland. Mixto (Good Magic), meanwhile, a 22-1 upset winner of this year's GI Pacific Classic, will look to bounce back in the GIII Native Diver Stakes at Del Mar following an 11th-place finish in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic.

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring.

A field of 16 juveniles–13 colts and a trio of fillies–will head to the Tokyo 1600-meter start for Saturday's $199,488 Cattleya Stakes (allowance), a contest that serves as the first of four legs on the Japan Road to the Kentucky Derby and offers points on a 10-5-3-2-1 scale. American-breds comprise a quarter of the field and Godolphin homebred Snappy Dresser (Union Rags) is the best-backed of the foursome at just over 5-2 in early wagering. A full-brother to MGSW & GISP Caramel Swirl, the May 19 foal debuted in a 1400-meter newcomers' event over this surface Oct. 20, sweeping into contention off the final corner before streaking away from his rivals to graduate by a very impressive 11 lengths (see below, SC 11). Ryusei Sakai, the regular rider of GI Kentucky Derby and GI Breeders' Cup Classic third Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) and who rides reigning champion dirt horse Lemon Pop for Godolphin, has the assignment on Saturday. Ryan Moore, who is set to partner with Auguste Rodin (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in Sunday's G1 Japan Cup, picks up the mount on Dragon Welds (Frosted), a $72,000 Keeneland September yearling turned $150,000 OBS April breezer who also won his maiden first time out, scoring by nine convincing lengths over 1400 meters at Kyoto Oct. 5 (see below, SC 10). Former jockey Yuichi Fukunaga trains the filly Malibu Orange (Vekoma), a $325,000 KEESEP acquisition who won her maiden over this course and distance at first asking over a rain-affected strip Oct. 6. The Mar. 22 foal is a half-sister to Coasted (Tizway), the dam of Japan Cup runner Danon Beluga (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}) and MGSP Bond Girl (Jpn) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}). T O Elvis (Volatile) was a debut third on the grass in September and validated 3-5 favoritism in romping by 9 1/2 lengths in his first start on the dirt at Kyoto Oct. 5. Japan's two top chances are Natural Rise (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), the six-length winner of a two-turn newcomers' race at Sapporo in July; and Clay King (Jpn), a son of leading first-crop sire Nadal who opened his account at first asking going seven furlongs June 15 ahead of a third to GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies also-ran American Bikini (Jpn) (American Pharoah) at Chukyo Sept. 28. The Japanese Road to the Derby continues with the Dec. 11 Zen-Nippon Nisai Yushun at Kawasaki, a race won by Forever Young last year, the Listed Hyacinth Stakes back at Tokyo Feb. 16 and the Fukuryu Stakes (allowance) at Nakayama Mar. 22.

They bet him like he couldn't lose, and multiple Grade I winner White Abarrio (Race Day) justified the confidence with a tour de force as the 1-5 favorite in the seventh race at Gulfstream Park. Forced to settle behind a line of the eager, when he launched his rally coming off the turn, it was 21-1 longshot Flying Liam (Liam's Map) who tried to mount a challenge. Despite his best efforts, the runner-up was ultimately left in the wake of the 2023 GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner, who won with air to spare. White Abarrio made only two starts this year for Richard Dutrow Jr., and missed the board in both. He ran 10th back in February in the G1 Saudi Cup won by G1SW-KSA, MGSW Senor Buscador (Mineshaft), and then finished fifth in the GI Met Mile June 8. He was returned to the barn of Saffie Joseph Jr. after that effort. The final time was 1:23.32.

A five-horse spill during the opening race of Woodbine's Friday card landed jockeys Justin Stein, Edgar Zenteno, and Da-Sean Gaskin in a local hospital while Woodbine communications reported that all horses involved walked off. The incident happened on the far turn of a $10,000 maiden claimer and appeared to have been triggered by No Layups (Preservationist) clipping heels in front of the pack with Whiskey N Ice (Old Forester). As No Layups tumbled over, the field behind had little time to react and four other trailing horses also went down. Only three runners finished the race led in by Whiskey N Ice who was disqualified and placed behind awarded winner Porsha's Run (Souper Speedy) and runner up Scotty's Love Chil (Mr. Scotty) who narrowly avoided the incident. Stein, Zenteno and Gaskin were each reported by track announcer Robert Geller to be awake and alert and being transported for further medical assessment while the other two riders involved, Juan Crawford and Fraser Aebly, took off their mounts for the rest of Friday's card. This story will be updated. RACE 1 UPDATE: After a spill involving 5 horses in today's first race @WoodbineTB , jockeys Justin Stein, Edgar Zenteno, and Da-Sean Gaskin are being transported to a local hospital for assessment.

7th-Meydan, AED165,000, Mdn., 11-22, NH 2yo/SH 3yo, f, 1400m, 1:25.27, ft. ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU (f, 2, Honest Mischief–Woodflower, by Woodman) took over leaving the chute in this first start and raced under pressure down the backstretch. Opening up by several lengths on the far bend, the bay poured it on down the lane to win easily by 8 1/2 lengths. Flama Shunshine (Flameaway) unleashed a rally to take second on the bend, but could not catch the winner and was 17 1/4 lengths in front of third-place finisher Ruby Hamilton (Audible). “At home we know she's a good filly, but we were worried we were rushing them a bit and that others had more work,” said Bernardo Pinheiro. “She trialled well but that was just four furlongs, so we were worried about the distance. She's a great filly, she proved that today and I think we can expect much more from her.” The winner was the eighth for her freshman sire (by Into Mischief), and was purchased by Carson McCord for $235,000 out of the OBS Spring Sale. She worked a furlong in :9 4/5. Her dam, who died this year, has produced Where's Dominic (Midnight Lute), MSP-US, $274,820; Magna Rose (Magna Graduate), SW-US, $167,560; a yearling full-brother to the winner; and Fahnestock (Freud), as her weanling colt.

Anticlimactic goes by the household name of disappointing and there was no disguising the glum faces at Goffs on Friday when Gouache (Ger) (Shamardal), the dam of live Japan Cup hope Goliath (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), failed to sell at €5 million. A collective groan was heard in the jam-packed auditorium when Henry Beeby uttered the words, “I'm afraid that's not enough,” at €5 million. One pressroom colleague suggested that he wouldn't be rushing into a game of poker with the Goffs chief executive any time soon as things seemed to be humming along nicely from one, two, three, and then four into five million euros. Alas, it was never going to be enough and the mare that was billed as the 'jewel in the crown' of the November Sale catalogue was led out unsold by Millennium Stud. Gouache was sourced by Agrolexica International Trading BV for just €200,000 at the December Breeding Stock Sale at Arqana last year. After she changed hands from Schlenderhan, the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained Goliath exploded onto the scene in Europe and accounted for the subsequent Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Bluestocking (GB) (Camelot {GB}) in the King George at Ascot. Goliath is a general 7-1 chance to win the Japan Cup on Sunday. Beeby admitted to being disappointed following the sale on Friday and revealed that the connections of Gouache were hoping to achieve somewhere in the region of €5 million or €6 million. They were understood to value the mare on a par with Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) and Alpine Star (Ire) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), who lit up this sale 12 months ago when selling for €6 million apiece. Beeby commented, “As my late father used to tell me, if you haven't got the horse you can't sell it. So you get the horse and work it out after that. The market spoke and they [the owners] valued the mare very highly. That's their prerogative and I respect that very highly. They wanted more than the market valued her at. They took a line through Alpha Centauri and Alpine Star here last year, because they mentioned those mares when we spoke earlier.” He added, “They obviously wanted somewhere between five and six million. It's a bit of a disappointment but that's the way it goes. We're still working, as we have done with the Springfort Park Stud mare [Her Honour (Ire) (Shamardal), who was sold privately to Alex Elliott for €725,000 after failing to reach €850,000 in the ring]. We'll keep working through the weekend and, if Goliath happens to win, we'll ring a few people as well. If it happens, it happens.” More to follow from Goffs The post “It’s Disappointing” – Dam Of Japan Cup Hope Goliath Fails To Sell For 5 Million At Goffs appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
