Ace Lawson-Carroll drives Malt Time to victory in the Bream Bay (1400m) at Ruakaka on Saturday. Photo: Therese Davis (Race Images) Class performer Malt Time showed she is more than ready to make her presence felt in the Group 1 Arrowfield Stud Plate (1600m) at Hastings with the perfect dress rehearsal at Ruakaka. The Shaun and Emma Clotworthy-prepared daughter of former Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) winner Adelaide was attempting to make it four wins from just four starts at the venue when she tackled the Bream Bay (1400m) on Saturday. Punters were firmly in her camp as she started the $2.50 race favourite against some talented rivals including stakes performers El Vencedor and Pearl Of Alsace. Those who took the short odds could be forgiven for having a furrowed brow turning for home with rider Ace Lawson-Carroll behind a wall of horses on the mare and desperately seeking a gap between runners. That gap came at the 250m and in a flash Malt Time was through and gone as she accelerated clear to win easing down by two lengths at the line from the late closing Quality Time and local runner Patricia. Shaun Clotworthy was delighted by what he saw after having some early concerns about the mare’s prospects of getting the victory on a track playing in favour of those handy to the pace. “That was very pleasing looking ahead to Hastings and even more impressive given she was against the pattern of the day,” Clotworthy said. “We didn’t want to change her pattern as she does best when you let her find her feet early on and Ace did a good job to find that gap and get her through it in the straight. “She has pulled up really well so she can have a few quiet days and maybe a trip to the beach before we head down to Hastings for the Arrowfield in three weeks.” Clotworthy will be looking to go one better in the second Group 1 event of the season after Malt Time charged into second behind Mustang Valley in last year’s edition of the race that was run on a Heavy9 track. “She has come of age for this prep and if we could go one better than last year with her it would be a very special result,” he said. “I’ve seen a few races from the first day down there today and the track looks superb and is providing each runner with a fair shot at victory if they are good enough. “I think our mare can compete at that level so we will be heading there with high hopes although very respectful of the good horses she will come up against.” Horse racing news View the full article

What Sha Tin Races Where Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong When Sunday, September 8, 2024 First Race 12:50pm HKT (2:50pm AEST) Visit Dabble The new Hong Kong racing season is set to get underway on Sunday afternoon, with a bumper 10-race program lined up for punters. The rail is in the A position throughout the entire circuit for the meeting, and although there are some scattered showers forecast in the lead-up, it shouldn’t affect the current Good 4 rating at the time of acceptance. All the action to kick-off the 2024/25 season is scheduled for 12:50pm local time. Best Bet at Sha Tin: Fast Network The Denis Yip-trained Fast Network unleashed a devastating turn-of-foot to score in his only start last preparation and appears ready to fire first-up into the new campaign. The son of Wrote won by 1.5 lengths going away from his rivals at this course and distance under Zac Purton on June 8 and gets an almost identical setup despite copping 3.5kg from the handicapper. Watch for this guy to be stalking his rivals in behind the speed, and when asked the ultimate question by Purton, Fast Network should be careering away to remain undefeated. Best Bet Race 4 – #1 Fast Network (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Dennis Yip | J: Zac Purton (61kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Sha Tin: My Wish My Wish only found one better in the form of Yuen Long Elite in his latest performance at Sha Tin on June 23. The pair went to the line in unison, with Yuen Long Elite scraping paint along the inside running rail to nail My Wish on the wire, with a significant margin back to third spot. It was only the second career start for the Mark Newnham-trained gelding, and with residual fitness to go along with ideal front-running tactics under Luke Ferraris, My Wish should prove hard to hold out this time around. Next Best Race 5 – #4 My Wish (6) 4yo Gelding | T: Mark Newnham | J: Luke Ferraris (58.5kg) Bet with Picklebet Best Value at Sha Tin: Polaris Polaris was unfortunate to run into Full Credit at the end of last preparation; however, both seem to have plenty of upside moving into the 2024/25 Hong Kong season. He got the perfect run in transit on that occasion but was no match for the eventual winner, finishing a half-length away in second position on July 6. There’s speed to burn in this Class 3 contest to end the program, so provided Jerry Chau can present Polaris with a run at the top of the straight, watch for this guy to be closing off gamely at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 10 – #8 Polaris (7) 4yo Gelding | T: Manfred Man | J: Jerry Chau (a1kg) (56kg) Bet with Dabble Sunday quaddie tips for Sha Tin Sha Tin quadrella selections September 8, 2024 1-4-5-8 1-6-7 1-3-6-8-11 1-2-5-7-8-9 Horse racing tips View the full article

One Dream One Soul produced a barnstorming finish to win Saturday’s A$80,000 Benchmark 74 Handicap (1600m). Photo: Bruno Cannatelli One Dream One Soul has wasted little time in making her mark across the Tasman, producing a barnstorming finish to win Saturday’s A$80,000 Benchmark 74 Handicap (1600m) at Moonee Valley in her second Australian start. Previously trained by Lee Somervell to win four of her 33 starts in New Zealand, One Dream One Soul relocated to Victoria and joined the Pakenham stable of Andrea Leek. The six-year-old was a close fourth at Sandown in her Australian debut on August 21, and on Saturday she defied $30 odds for a superb come-from-behind win. Patiently ridden by Thomas Stockdale, One Dream One Soul sat at the tail of the 10-horse field for most of the race before swooping widest of all around the home turn. She quickened brilliantly in the straight and snatched victory right on the finish line. “I thought she was over the odds,” Stockdale said. “She ran a super race last start. “We got a track into the race today and we were able to give her the room. Because she’d spent no tickets early in the race, she had plenty left for the straight. It was a super effort by Andrea to present the horse in the way she has and get the win. “I think she’ll be able to go to 2000m now and be ultra-competitive in a better race.” One Dream One Soul has now had 35 starts for five wins, seven placings and A$152,431 in stakes. She collected black type with a placing in the Group 2 Lowland Stakes (2100m) as a three-year-old. Leek explained after the race how the mare came to be in her stable. “We were very lucky,” she said. “When Wiremu Pinn was here, his girlfriend’s mum came and stayed with us and we were lucky enough to meet a lovely lady named Shirin Wood, who’s actually flown over from New Zealand to watch today. Her husband Lee trained this mare and we said to her, ‘What about sending her across here?’ They agreed and here we are. “She was a little bit fat going into Sandown, she sweated up. Since then her coat’s popping and she’s tightened up and we just thought she looks the real deal now, so it’s very exciting. “I was hoping to dream that could she win today and we could look at the Matriarch Stakes (Group 2, 2000m) in November and work our way back and see what races lead us into that.” Horse racing news View the full article

Bosch and Kelly Myers clear their rivals to win the Tai Tokerau Cup at Ruakaka on Saturday. Photo: Therese Davis (Race Images) Trainer Michelle Bradley has a soft spot for her promising stayer Bosch, and he certainly earned an extra dipper in his Saturday night feed when he cruised clear to capture the Tai Tokerau Cup (2200m) on his home patch at Ruakaka. Bradley had nominated the six-year-old gelding as one of her top chances on the day and after she produced Arabella to take out the second race on the card, she was shooting for a winning double. Bosch was also hunting back-to-back victories after winning a similar event at the venue at his last start and with Kelly Myers giving him a perfect ride from a wide barrier (8), he duly obliged in dominant style. Positioned outside leader My Maebelline Girl throughout, Myers had a lapful of horse turning for home. She let the handbrake off at the 300m and the son of Pentire shot clear, eventually hitting the finish line four lengths clear of Fly My Wey and Mahrajaan. Bradley was thrilled to see her charge in winning form again as she chases a start for him in a late spring staying feature. “We went in with some confidence as he had thrived since his last run and the 2200m was right up his alley,” Bradley said. “Kelly hadn’t ridden him before, but I was keen to get her on him when I knew Sam (Spratt) would be down at Hastings and she wouldn’t be able to ride him. “Kelly put him in a great spot and now he has learnt to settle properly he was always trucking along nicely. “He is certainly putting his hand up for a go at one of the Cup races in the next few months, with the Counties Cup (Group 3, 2100m) a race I would like to win. “I grew up in the Pukekohe area so I’m a local girl and winning that race would be very special. “We just need to sit down and work out a programme for him and hopefully he can have a decent shot at it.” Horse racing news View the full article

Evaporate extended his winning sequence to three in a row at Moonee Valley on Saturday. Photo: Bruno Cannatelli Trainers Ben, Will and JD Hayes are keen to raise the bar to black-type level with Evaporate after the Kiwi-bred gelding extended his winning sequence to three in a row in Saturday’s 3YO Open Handicap (1600m) at Moonee Valley. The son of Per Incanto was a maiden winner at Cranbourne on August 1, then added a three-length victory in a three-year-old handicap at Moonee Valley on August 24. He returned to the same venue again on Saturday, where he was lumbered with a 60kg topweight but again produced a super-impressive performance. Ridden by Michael Dee, Evaporate settled in second before cruising forward and taking command before the home turn. The result was in no doubt from there, with Evaporate kicking away down the straight to win by two and three-quarter lengths from the fellow Kiwi-bred Stylish Secret. Ben Hayes believes Evaporate is emerging as one of Lindsay Park’s brightest three-year-old prospects this season. “He’s getting up there now,” he said. “It’s very hard to win three in a row with two city races. “I think he improved again, he did everything right today. He was able to cross, he got into a lovely rhythm and Michael rode him beautifully. “He got rolling into the bend and won convincingly hands and heels, which is always very exciting to see. I think he’s an exciting horse going forward. He still has a little bit more improvement to come, so hopefully we can see that his next couple of runs. “In three weeks’ time there’s the Stutt Stakes (Group 2, 1600m), that would be the ideal race to head towards and that’s a traditional lead-up to a Caulfield Guineas (Group 1, 1600m). “The dream is alive at the moment, so we’ve just got to get him there and he’ll be a nice chance.” Dee has no doubt that Evaporate can measure up against even better opposition. “I think that was certainly his best performance to date and he’s only improving each time he steps out,” he said. “Every time he’s raced, he’s only got better. He’s racing a lot more tractably now and he’s sustaining a really long gallop, so the way he’s going, you’ll definitely find him in better races.” Horse racing news View the full article

Poetic Champion powering away with the Listed El Roca – Sir Colin Meads Trophy (1200m) at Hastings on Saturday. Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) A brilliant return to racing in Saturday’s Listed El Roca-Sir Colin Meads Trophy (1200m) at Hastings sent a clear message that Poetic Champion will be a force to be reckoned with in three-year-old ranks this season. The Super Seth gelding showed bright promise as a juvenile, winning by six lengths on debut last October before finishing third in the Listed Counties Challenge Stakes (1100m), second in the Group 2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes (1100m), sixth in the Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m), second in the Group 3 Matamata Slipper (1200m) and sixth in the Group 1 Sistema Stakes (1200m). Trial cancellations disrupted Poetic Champion’s spring build-up, eventually winning a 950m trial on the Cambridge synthetic track on August 30 – just eight days before Saturday’s black-type feature. But despite his less-than-ideal preparation and despite coming up against a quality field of three-year-olds at Hastings, Poetic Champion kicked off his three-year-old season with the best performance of his career so far. The chestnut jumped well from the inside gate for jockey Matt Cartwright and pulled ahead of Grove Street to take up a front-running position after the first 100m. That was where he stayed, dominating the race from the front and never giving the others a look in. Cartwright pushed the button in the straight and Poetic Champion’s response was spectacular, powering clear to win by two and a quarter lengths from the strong-finishing Savaglee. “That was lovely,” Cartwright said. “He jumped cleanly. There was a bit of pressure early, but I didn’t want to give the lead up. He half stargazed out in front, but then he was quite explosive after straightening up. “I thought he might be a bit underdone coming into this race, but Tony Pike is a legend at getting horses right on the day and he’s done that today.” Bred and raced by Jonathan Munz’s GSA Bloodstock, Poetic Champion has now had seven starts for two wins, three placings and $152,150 in stakes. Bookmakers now rates him a $6 chance for the Group 2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) at Hastings on September 28, and he is a $12 chance for the Group 1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton on November 9. “We just had a couple of little niggly issues with this horse towards the end of his two-year-old season,” said Pike, who has previously won the El Roca-Sir Colin Meads Trophy with Bostonian in 2017 and Cyber Attack in 2018. “We’ve put those behind us now and he’s come back in great order. “I was a little worried that we had a short run-up into this resuming run, only trialling at Cambridge eight days ago. But Matt rode him beautifully in front and got a soft lead. He’s just a really genuine racehorse and I’m rapt to see him back in winning form. “He’s bred and owned by Jonathan Munz, who also owned Super Seth, so it’s great to get him a stakes win with one of Super Seth’s progeny. “He’s a really sharp horse, so I’m not too sure how much of a trip he’ll be able to run. We’ll bring him back for the Hawke’s Bay Guineas next, and his performance there will probably help us decide whether or not we carry on down to Riccarton. He might be more of a sprinter, and the heart probably says 1600m might not be his distance, but they can sometimes get away with it against their own age group at three. “He’s eligible for the NZB Kiwi (1500m) as well, so that’s another target that we can think about.” Horse racing news View the full article

The Paul Gardner-trained Red Wraith, heading for victory on Darwin Cup Day at Fannie Bay on August 5 with Top End hoop Adam Nicholls in the saddle, is in action at Alice Springs on Sunday. Picture: Darwin Turf Club Paul Gardner’s Red Wraith will endeavour to turn the tables on Greg Connor’s Flying Start in the feature race at Alice Springs on Sunday. Two weeks ago at Pioneer Park, Red Wraith was in good shape half way down the home straight and a win over 1100m in open company appeared imminent before last-placed Flying Start swooped with a full head of steam to seal victory. The two classy sprinters will clash again this weekend over 1200m (BM76) in a five-horse field, with Gardner’s Nasty Streak and Rain’s Gift and Connor’s Luskin Hero seemingly battling it out for third place. A five-year-old gelding by Charm Spirit, Red Wraith has made an impact at Pioneer Park since last September after arriving from Matthew Seyers’ stable at Murray Bridge with six wins and five minor placings from 14 starts. After winning over 1000m (0-70) in June, Red Wraith headed north for the Darwin Cup Carnival and managed two thirds from three starts before leading all the way in an impressive win over 1200m (0-70) on Cup Day on August 5. For Flying Start, Alice Springs’ Horse of the Year in 2022, his win a fortnight ago was his first in the Red Centre since April 2022 – it was his first win since Darwin Cup Day in August 2022. The son of Flying Artie, a six-year-old gelding these days, won the NT Guineas (1600m) two years ago in Alice Springs and was clearly getting back to his best after three seconds and two thirds before coming sixth over 1200m (BM67) on July 14. At his best, Flying Start would break the hearts of his opponents with a blistering burst of speed which had gone missing before it returned last start en route to his fourth win at Pioneer Park from 16 starts – that also includes six minor placings. Adelaide jockey Georgie Catania, who rode a winning double at Alice Springs two weeks ago, retains the ride on Flying Start (59kg), while local apprentice Lek Maloney – who can claim 2kg – is once again booked aboard Red Wraith (56kg). Flying Start ($2.70) spotted Red Wraith ($1.80 fav) two kilos when last they met, so if Gardner’s galloper brings his best to the table on Sunday he is more than capable of squaring the ledger. Both horses will no doubt dominate the market at the top online bookmakers. Horse racing news View the full article

Saturday's Observations features a 'TDN Rising Star'. 13.40 Chantilly, Cond, €34,000, 2yo, c/g, 8fT MARANOA CHARLIE (FR) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) earned TDN Rising Star with his impressive debut win in Deauville's Arqana Series Des Poulains last month and Peter Maher, Carl Fitzgerald and John Baxter's relative of the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Tiggy Wiggy (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) takes the next step in his education in this Prix des Aigles.

After his eclipse in the G1 July Cup, it is fair to say that Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum's Inisherin (GB) (Shamardal) has something to prove and he will have to with the opposition strong in Haydock's G1 Betfair Sprint Cup on Saturday. Successful against lesser lights on easy ground in the G2 Sandy Lane Stakes over this course and distance in May, the homebred thrived over Ascot's stiff six furlongs when capturing the G1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot before finding the Newmarket feature too sharp. Forced into consecutive sub-11-second splits after the opening furlong, the long-striding colt paid for that initial hard effort which he had been spared on his previous two starts due to a mixture of ground and uphill terrain. His most impressive effort on the clock came in his Newcastle novice over a mile in March, where he was allowed to build from a steady tempo to an extremely high one in the closing stages and it may be that six furlongs still isn't his game. Recent rain turning the ground to good-to-soft will aid his cause and trainer Kevin Ryan remains convinced that he has the pace for this flat track while keeping one eye on a return to further. “He will stay further than six furlongs, but he showed a lot of speed in the Guineas and I just felt this year while he is starting to strengthen and has that speed, why not try him sprinting,” he said. “When he ran at Haydock in the Sandy Lane I was worried it might be a bit soft for him, but he handled it really well and then won on opposite ground at Royal Ascot which he handled just the same. He might be quite a unique sprinter, in that he can handle fast ground and softer conditions too,” he added. “The July Cup at Newmarket was a funny one really and I felt he just wasn't striding out as well as he can do coming down the hill. The ground had dried out that day and was just a bit loose on top, which some horses just can't get a handle on. Once he hit the rising ground, he did start to stay on but in those top-class sprints you just can't afford to lose ground. He is now approaching four and is getting stronger and gaining more muscle as the year goes on.” If Inisherin falters again, Karl Burke looks the one most likely to profit with the same owner's Elite Status (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) staying injury-free to finally meet his key rival and the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes and July Cup runner-up Swingalong (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}) also engaged. Elite Status showed when winning Newbury's G3 Hackwood Stakes on good-to-firm ground that he is as versatile as he is classy, having conquered Deauville's soft going when taking the G3 Prix de Cabourg last term. Unlike Inisherin, Elite Status has proven that he can travel at high speed in the first half of a sprint and finish off strongly and at this stage appears the most typecast sprinter of the two 3-year-olds. Swingalong's ability to maintain a high cadence is unquestionable, having run considerably faster than Inisherin has in his career so far when fourth in this 12 months ago on good ground. Burke is hopeful he has two primed sprinters for the challenge. “The issue with Elite Status knocking his joint seems very much behind him and since Ascot he's been very good,” he explained. “He obviously put up a big performance at Newbury last time and he's training very well, so we are very hopeful. Swingalong has proven herself in Group 1 company once again this year and deserves to win one.” Another 3-year-old is Amo Racing's G1 Phoenix Stakes winner Bucanero Fuerte (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), who beat the subsequent G3 Phoenix Sprint Stakes scorer Givemethebeatboys (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) in Naas's G3 Lacken Stakes in May. Trainer Adrian Murray said of the former, “Over the winter we were thinking of going to the Guineas with him, but then we worked him and thought we would stick to five or six furlongs because he has a lot of class and a lot of speed. We are hoping he will be bang there and if he trains on like we think he has he will hopefully be involved, fingers crossed.” Charyn And Notable Speech Clash On In The Moulin… Seven milers will go to post for Sunday's G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, with Nurlan Bizakov's G1 Queen Anne Stakes and G1 Prix Jacques le Marois hero Charyn (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) set to lock horns with Godolphin's G1 2,000 Guineas and G1 Sussex Stakes winner Notable Speech (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). Godolphin also have the Andre Fabre-trained multiple group winner Tribalist (GB) (Farhh {GB}), whose forward-going tendency will complement Charlie Appleby's hold-up merchant, while Ballydoyle's G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes winner and G1 St James's Palace Stakes runner-up Henry Longfellow (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) bids for redemption having been a disappointing fourth as favourite for the Sussex. Nurlan Bizakov is also represented by the Christopher Head-trained dual Group 3 scorer Ramadan (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), Francois Rohaut saddles Patrick Sabban's progressive 5-year-old Caramelito (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), with the Wertheimers' 2023 G1 Prix de la Foret heroine Kelina (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) completing the line-up. Soft ground is almost a certainty after heavy rain hit the Paris track on Thursday.

Professor Grainne O'Kane was appointed the inaugural Pat Smullen Chair in Pancreatic Cancer at University College Dublin, Cancer Trials Ireland announced on Friday. The new position will anchor expertise in pancreatic research in Ireland, with the ambition of creating a global centre of excellence for the treatment and research of this form of cancer. The role will allow O'Kane to divide her time between clinical work as a treating physician at St Vincent's University Hospital and research work at UCD School of Medicine, where she will work to identify, attract, and open new pancreatic cancer trials, train the next generation of specialists in pancreatic cancer, and work to integrate care for pancreatic patients in Ireland. O'Kane said, “A diagnosis of pancreatic cancer can be quite devastating as its one of the most difficult cancers to treat, however we are learning more and more every day. Research has contributed to this. This cancer has also come with two big challenges beyond science and medicine: People are not as aware of pancreatic cancer, compared to other cancers and despite being one of the most lethal cancers, it does not receive the same funding or attention as other cancers.” “Frances Crowley and her family, and friends, and the horse racing community in Ireland have done a staggering amount to change this in Ireland. They put pancreatic cancer on the map, and in the past five years, raised more than €3m to research the disease and I am here today, in this role, because of that. I am honoured and humbled to receive this opportunity, and I'm very excited about the future.” The position will receive €900,000 (€180,000 per annum) in funding over five years from Cancer Trials Ireland's Pat Smullen Pancreatic Cancer Fund with matching funding for the role from the HSE National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP). UCD will then take over Cancer Trials Ireland funding contribution to continue the partnership with the HSE NCCP. For more information on Cancer Trials Ireland, please visit their website.

When Japanese horses take their show on the road to places like Australia, the Middle East, Hong Kong, the U.S. and even Europe to an extent, they are to be taken very seriously. It is also no wonder that when horses from the Land of the Rising Sun make the comparatively short trip over to Korea, they have more or less dominated the nation's two biggest and most important races–the G3 OBS Korea Cup (1800m) and OBS Korea Sprint (1200m). That trend looks set to continue this weekend at Seoul Racecourse ,where both events offer the winners an all-expenses-paid trip to the Breeders' Cup at Del Mar on Nov. 2. Japan sends out three of the 11 horses for the Cup–with a berth in the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile on the line–including Crown Pride (Jpn) (Reach the Crown {Jpn}), who romped by 10 lengths in last year's Korea Cup and most recently defeated the American-conceived Beyond the Father (Jpn) (Curlin) by a nose in the Listed Mercury Cup at Morioka July 15. Wilson Tesoro (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), a three-time winner at listed level and twice Group 1-placed, was fourth in this year's G1 Dubai World Cup and was last seen finishing second in the Listed Teio Sho at Ohi Racecourse June 26. Yuga Kawada has the call. Light Warrior (Jpn) (Majestic Warrior) was a stakes winner at Kawasaki in April before finishing sixth in the Teio Sho. The local charge is spearheaded by Winner's Man (Kor) (Musket Man), winner of 18 of his 28 career starts and a distant third to Crown Pride 12 months ago. He faces the starter for the first time since successfully defending his title in the year-ending Grand Prix (black-type) over 2300 meters last December. Global Hit (Kor) (To Honor and Serve) has not missed the top two since finishing eighth as a 3-year-old in last year's Cup and most recently won the KRA Cup Classic (NBT) going 2000 meters Aug. 4. In the Sprint, the globetrotting Remake (Jpn) (Lani) should prove difficult to handle in his first appearance since finishing fourth to Tuz (Oxbow) in the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen at Meydan Mar. 30. Having defeated Beolmaui Star (Kor) (To Honor and Serve) by four lengths in this contest last September, the Koji Maeda homebred proved easily best over Skelly (Practical Joke) and Bold Journey (Hard Spun) in the G3 Riyadh Dirt Sprint a month before his Dubai effort. Keiai Dorie (Jpn) (Espoir City {Jpn}), ninth in the Golden Shaheen, bounced back to finish third to the Breeders' Cup Sprint-bound Don Frankie (Jpn) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}) in the Listed Cluster Cup Aug. 14. Trainer Chief Stipe O'Neill is not bashful about traveling his horses, and Ilium Stables' Anarchist (Distorted Humor) is the lone American representative on Sunday. Winner of the GIII Jacques Cartier Stakes last season, the 5-year-old ran The Chosen Vron (Vronsky) to a head in the GI Bing Crosby Stakes last July before taking the GII Pat O'Brien Stakes. He is unplaced in two runs this season, including a fifth to The Chosen Vron in the July 27 Bing Crosby. Eoma Eoma (Algorithms) won the 2022 Korea Sprint and was fifth in defense of his title last year. The 7-year-old cuts back in from the mile having run third to the romping Speed Young (Kor) (Menifee) in the June 30 Busan Owners' Cup (black-type). A trip to the Breeders' Cup Sprint is on the line. In 2019, the Korean-based U.S.-bred Blue Chipper (Tiznow) won the Korea Sprint en route to a cracking third to Spun to Run and Omaha Beach in the Dirt Mile.
