Sir Mikki winning at Awapuni on Friday. Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images Palmerston North) Local trainer Lisa Latta was a dominant force at Awapuni’s Synthetic meeting on Friday, winning four races, including the Ashurst-Pohangina Cup (2140m) with Sir Mikki. It was the second consecutive win on the surface for the son of Mikki Isle, who was once again piloted by Chris Dell. Dell settled the four-year-old midfield and enjoyed an economical passage throughout before he was asked to improve with 500m to go and quickly found the lead at the top of the straight and held off the challenge of Just Charlie to win by a neck. “It was really good to take out the Cup with Sir Mikkie. He has had to lug the 60 kilos, but he is tough,” stable representative Josh Herd said. “He came through his last start win really well and it was another great ride by Chris today.” Sir Mikki will now head north next month to tackle a lucrative Cambridge Synthetic target. “We will look to head to that $100,000 Cambridge Synthetic race over 2000m (on August 8),” Herd said. The stable also tasted success on Friday with Final Chapter in the Chris Gommans & Sons Contracting 2140, Bee Enchanted in the Murray Free Contracting LTD 1200, and Lincoln Towers in The Pavemasters 1400. “Final Chapter improved a tonne today on the synthetic,” Herd said. “That was a great ride by Chris (Dell), he got back and weaved a passage through them. He was impressive and strong through the line. “Be Enchanted is a really handy horse on the synthetic. That was his fourth win on the synthetic and we will target one of the $100,000 races with him now. “Lincoln Towers galloped up on Saturday in the blinkers and we were pretty confident heading into today. Ace Lawson-Carroll (jockey) jumped off last start and said to put the blinkers on and he will improve six lengths, and he did that.” Herd is hoping the stable can continue their winning momentum into Saturday where they will have six representatives at Hastings, with Herd labelling Lurid in the Happy Hire Handicap (2100m) as their best chance. “It will be interesting to see how the track plays,” he said. “I think Lurid in the last is probably a good eachway bet, he handles the heavy tracks quite well.” Horse racing news View the full article

Solidify will contest the John Young Family (2200m) at Te Rapa on Saturday. Photo: Peter Rubery (Race Images) Solidify has been finding his feet over middle-distances this autumn and winter, and another bold performance in Saturday’s John Young Family (2200m) at Te Rapa could be a stepping stone towards a Group 1 target in the spring. The son of Redwood was a stakes-winning autumn two-year-old in last year’s Listed Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre Stakes (1200m) at Te Rapa, and a placing in Group 2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) last September was the highlight of an inconsistent spring and summer. But Team Rogerson has lifted the gelding to a new level since the beginning of April, placing over 1600m at Pukekohe before stepping up in distance with a gallant second behind Moonlight Magic in the Group 3 Championship Stakes (2100m). Another two placings followed at Te Rapa over 1600m and 2100m, and then Solidify ventured down to Otaki on June 8 and scored a convincing win in a 2100m Rating 75. He stays in the same grade for Saturday’s $35,000 race, in which bookmakers rate him a $3.70 favourite despite his weight rising to 61.5kg. “I hope the market has got it right,” Rogerson said. “He looks good and has got a lot going for him. “He’s still a bit of a work in progress. We’ve had to teach him to be a stayer and really make him as a staying horse, but I think he’s getting there now. “He’s certainly weighted up to his best on Saturday with 61.5kg, but Bailey Rogerson knows him well, has ridden him on raceday before and will take 2kg off.” Solidify is nominated for next month’s Group 3 Winter Cup (1600m) and is prominent in that market at $16, but Rogerson would prefer to continue racing him over longer distances. “I think he’s on the cusp of being a really nice staying horse,” he said. “His performance this weekend will tell us where he should head. If he runs well again, he may go to the Taumarunui Gold Cup (2200m) at Te Rapa later in the month (July 27). The Livamol Classic (Group 1, 2040m) could be a nice target to work towards with him if we continue to be happy with his progress.” Rogerson will also keep a close eye on his stable’s two-pronged representation in Saturday’s Sign Central 2YO (1100m) at Hastings. He has plenty of time for Grove Street, who finished fifth against talented line-ups in his first two starts earlier in the season. Grove Street is a son of Rogerson’s multiple Group 1 Telegraph (1200m) placegetter Ferrando, whose first-crop juveniles are showing surprisingly different attributes to those of their sire. “Grove Street’s got some good ability and is learning all the time,” Rogerson said. “He’s a typical Ferrando. They’re not really two-year-old types, and they’re looking more like stayers than sprinters, which I’ve found hard to believe. “I think we’ve got a lot to look forward to with his progeny next season. We’ve got half a dozen of them that look really good. Zorro’s Revenge placed in the Champagne Stakes (Listed, 1600m) in the autumn, and he came back into the stable this week. We’re going to aim him at the 2000 Guineas (Group 1, 1600m), and then I think he’s a lovely prospect for the Derby (Group 1, 2400m). “Skymax is another one, she got home really well for fourth at Ruakaka the other day. She’ll go out for a spell now and will come back better at three.” Rogerson also gave a favourable report on a number of his stable stars as they build fitness ahead of their spring campaigns. “Sharp ‘N’ Smart, Just As Sharp and Domain Ace are all coming up beautifully,” he said. “I’ve been very happy with them and I think they’re all on target for the spring at this stage.” Horse racing news View the full article

Caitlyns Wish will contest the Group One Turf Bar Sprint (1200m) at Te Rapa on Saturday. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Quality mare Caitlyns Wish has fashioned an enviable record through the past two winters for Stephen Autridge, and she will chase a winning hattrick at Te Rapa on Saturday. The daughter of in-form sire Belardo has recorded six wins and five minor placings over 15 starts, consistently performing in the favoured heavy conditions that she struck at Wanganui and Te Rapa at her two latest appearances. “She was really courageous last-start and things did go our way including the weight she carried (51kg),” Autridge said. “She’s come through it well, on a sticky heavy track we aren’t sure, but she loves Te Rapa anyway.” Caitlyns Wish has been ridden in all but three of her races by Autridge’s apprentice Maria Sanson, but with the three-kilogram claimer out with a suspension, the mare will be partnered by Bailey Rogerson in the Group One Turf Bar Sprint (1200m). “We’ve had to have a change of rider but that shouldn’t matter, having the apprentice claim certainly helps and she’s quite easy to ride,” Autridge said. “She’s always had a female rider and she always goes well for them, so we aren’t going to change that in a hurry.” Enjoying rain-affected tracks allows for plenty of options for the four-year-old, and Autridge is happy to let her guide their path forward this campaign. “She’s good to have around, she’ll eat anything you give her and loves her work,” he said. “Wherever she goes, she’ll go at a hundred miles an hour, just like in a race. She jig-jogs going out to the track, she’ll try to trot into the swimming pool, she jumps onto the truck and is just loving everything she does. “She loves the wet tracks, so while they are around and she’s going well, we’ll carry on. Last year we turned her out a bit before the winter was over, but when she has too long of a spell she gets too fat on us.” Autridge will also be represented at Hastings on Saturday by Loch Katrine, the Ardrossan filly contesting the Book Your Function @ Hawke’s Bay Racing Handicap (1650m). Loch Katrine has also shown plenty of consistency throughout her preparation and will reunite with local hoop Kate Hercock in the Rating 65 contest. “She’s as good as she’s ever been, but she’s drawn 10 of 10 which is the worst place to be at the mile start at Hastings,” Autridge said. “There’s always something that seems to be against her, if she’d drawn nicely I would’ve said I believe she’d be winning, but from there we’ll need some luck. She will run a good race.” Horse racing news View the full article

The Winnabe makes it two in a row. Fresh from a Happy Valley double on Thursday night (4 July), Hugh Bowman is optimistic unbeaten The Winnabe can continue an impressive debut campaign with a strong performance in the Class 3 Chow Silver Plate Handicap (1400m) at Sha Tin on Saturday (6 July). Stepping to 1400m for the first time after a pair of 1200m victories, The Winnabe faces 12 rivals including a string of recent winners led by Lovero, Gracious Express, Galvanic, King Miles and Greenwich. The Caravaggio three-year-old shapes as one of master trainer John Size’s most exciting prospects next season and Bowman is confident the gelding has what it takes to build on an impeccable start to his career. “There’s no doubt he (The Winnabe) is up to it, but he’s still relatively young and inexperienced,” Bowman said. “But he’s very natural and he’s shown he’s got an engine. It’s going to be an interesting test to see where he’s at but he’s an exciting horse.” The Winnabe finished powerfully from midfield to down Vantastic Choice at Sha Tin on 8 June after a similar display when defeating Super Infinity – also over 1200m – on 19 May with both wins coming from barrier two. The grey jumps from gate five tomorrow. With 65 winners so far this season, Bowman also partners Top Scorer for Size in the Class 4 Arculli Trophy Handicap (1200m). “He’s a consistent horse and it’s only a matter of time until he wins and hopefully it’s this weekend,” Bowman said, referring to the gelding’s four seconds, two thirds and a fourth from seven starts. Echoing Bowman’s ambitions for The Winnabe, Jerry Chau hopes Thunder Blink can maintain his unbeaten run with success in the Class 3 Stevenson Cup Handicap (1400m). Triumphant in Griffin company over 1000m on 14 April and again over 1200m on 26 May for Jimmy Ting, the Ribchester three-year-old rises in class and distance and meets 12 more seasoned rivals tomorrow. “Before he raced, he trialled very well and he’s won twice since and I feel like he’s kept improving and I think he can handle Class 3,” Chau said. “He’s still immature and green, but I think he can get better. Class 3 will be tough, but with a good draw he can be competitive.” Thunder Blink will start from gate six against a string of recent winners headed by Hasten Delight, Beauty Glory, Beauty Fit, Super Goldi and Our Lucky Glory. Chau, 24, has 33 wins for the season and hopes to finish with a flourish with only three meetings left. “It’s been a good season. Everything has gone pretty well,” he said. “I’ve had more support and that’s been very good for me, especially getting nice horses like James Tak and Fun Together. I’ve enjoyed the season.” With Zac Purton (122 wins) assured of a seventh Hong Kong jockeys’ championship, the battle for training honours continues between Pierre Ng (67) and Francis Lui (65). Ng has eight entries tomorrow, while Lui has 12. Saturday’s (6 July) Sha Tin meeting starts with the Purves Quaich Plate (1200m) for Griffins at 4pm HKT. Horse racing news View the full article

The four-year-old son of Frosted finished midfield when beaten 3.6 lengths in the Group 3 Sir John Monash Stakes (1100m) when first-up off a 34-week spell. Given a perfect ride from Blake Shinn, Ingratiating ($4.20) found the winner’s circle for the first time since his win in an 1100m sprint at Caulfield on September 17, 2022. He had been racing in much tougher company than what he faced in the Bletchingly and class managed to shine through when it mattered most, getting the better of leader General Beau ($4) and the fast-finishing It’sourtime ($4.60). Despite giving General Beau a four-length head start upon turning, Ingratiating dug deep to claim the leader inside the final 50m. 2022: King Of Sparta reigns supreme Top Melbourne jockey Jye McNeil could not have wished for a better opening, pouncing on a dream crease in the field 300m out, to win the $200,000 Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes aboard King Of Sparta. It didn’t come without a struggle, only edging out Scallopini for Steven O’Dea and Matthew Hoysted on the line in the Group 3 sprint over 1200m at Caulfield. After conceding the lead early, McNeil deliberately waited for his opportunity after rounding the turn and pounced when the opportunity came. King Of Sparta’s time of 1:10.88 on a Soft 7 was a respectable effort for race eight on the program, after race seven was conducted in Soft 6 conditions 35 minutes earlier. 2021: Sansom returns a winner Phillip Stokes’ Sansom, returning from a lengthy hiatus, triumphed in a fiercely competitive 2021 $160,000 Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield. After his last outing in February, where he finished sixth in the Shaftesbury Avenue Stakes at Flemington, the talented four-year-old gelding commenced his new campaign in stellar form. Despite starting from the second widest barrier in a field of 12, Sansom settled just ahead of midfield early on under the guidance of jockey Ben Allen. Approaching the final turn, Allen maneuvered Sansom wide, positioning him for a decisive run down the home stretch. In a nail-biting finish, Sansom surged down the centre of the track, narrowly clinching victory on the post ahead of Streets Of Avalon. 2020: Oliver guides Viridine to Group 3 success A rails-hugging ride from champion jockey Damien Oliver has helped favourite Viridine to a determined victory in Melbourne’s final stakes race of the 2019-20 season at Caulfield. The James Cummings-trained Viridine was the $2.70 favourite in the weight-for-age Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes (1200m) and Oliver was able to position the sprinter midfield early before improving to be in a position to strike entering the home straight. Oliver was able to take a run along the fence to the inside of Great Again in the straight and Viridine went on to defeat Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) winner Streets Of Avalon, who was first-up from a spell, by three-quarters of a length. Great Again held on for third, another long neck away.

Kuroyanagi on the way to the barriers prior to the running of the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) South Australia’s Kuroyanagi targets a home-state black-type win, with trainer Will Clarken dreaming of spring features in Melbourne and Sydney. The Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) placegetter returned quietly with a 600-metre jump-out at Murray Bridge, pleasing both Clarken and jockey Ben Price. Clarken eyes the Listed Lightning Stakes (1050m) at Morphettville for her comeback, aiming for a stakes win after Group 1 and Group 2 placings. “All being well, we’ll trial her at Balaklava in seven days and then a gallop on Good ground, aiming for the Lightning,” Clarken told Racing.com. “It’ll hinge on her first-up run, but Melbourne and Sydney races are options. It was a great year for juveniles, so we’ll navigate carefully. “Our focus is on securing black-type and building momentum.” Horse racing news View the full article

Press Down ridden by Neil Farley winning the Golden Topaz at Swan Hil. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) B Press Down will aim for a third consecutive win in Saturday’s Santa Ana Lane Series Final at Flemington, continuing his impressive winter form. Trainer Peter Hardacre’s strategy to extend beyond the Adelaide Racing Carnival has paid off, with the four-year-old securing back-to-back victories, including a strong performance in the Golden Topaz (1200m) at Swan Hill. “He’s really well,” Hardacre told Racing SA. “He did a nice piece of work on the course proper at Murray Bridge on Monday and had a nice little gallop up the hill on the sand this morning (Thursday). “It’s a nice stepping stone for him coming through, he’s weighted to run well. We were able to give him ten days off after Swan Hill and he seems to be even better again. “The one thing I’ve noticed is just how much stronger he’s getting and he’s a more relaxed horse around the stable.” Horse racing news View the full article

Showmanship ridden by Damien Oliver on the way to the barriers prior to the running of the 2022 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Once touted as an Everest (1200m) contender before being sidelined by soundness issues, Showmanship will be looking to prove he still possesses talent when he returns to Sydney for the first time in almost two years. The eight-year-old will line up in Saturday’s Listed Winter Stakes (1400m) at Randwick, having had his career interrupted twice for lengthy periods. Showmanship was considered one of the rising stars of the sprinting ranks after winning seven of his first eight starts and was in discussions for the 2020 Everest before a tendon issue sidelined him for 18 months. He returned for three runs, including a slashing Group 3 victory on his only Sydney visit two years later, before spending another 15 months out of action. Owner Bob Peters eventually sent Showmanship to John Leek Jnr, and the gelding made a great start for his new stable, finishing a half-length fourth in the Listed Doveton Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield in December. He wasn’t beaten far when resuming with a midfield effort in May. “He’s a beautiful horse,” Leek said. “He’s got a lot of ability but as you can see, he hasn’t raced much, so we’ve just got to plan his runs and get him onto a wet track. “There have been no ratings races to suit him, but we’ve found one on Saturday. He’s in well, and I’m looking forward to it.” Horse racing news View the full article

En Francais ridden by Lachlan Neindorf prior to the running of the 2023 Tesio Stakes at Moonee Valley. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Lachlan Neindorf will be travelling north to ride the classy South Australian mare En Francais in Saturday’s Listed Glasshouse Handicap (1600m) on the Sunshine Coast. Neindorf has ridden the mare in four of her five wins, including her impressive last-start victory in the Group 3 Cummings Stakes (1600m) in May. He expressed his hopes that the recent wet weather in the Sunshine State clears up. “Hopefully they go ahead,” Neindorf told Racing SA. “It’s touch and go at this stage but I fly up there Friday morning and hopefully she runs well,” he said. En Francais failed to meet her $350,000 reserve at the Magic Millions Broodmare Sale on the Gold Coast in late May, which prompted connections to leave her in Queensland with David Vandyke. The rising seven-year-old trialed nicely on the Gold Coast recently, marking her first time racing in the opposite direction. “She looked pretty good given it was her first time going the other way,” Neindorf said. “It’s my first time riding that direction, but I’m looking forward to the opportunity.” Horse racing news View the full article

Former Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Darren Weir. Trainer Darren Weir has been handed a further two-year disqualification by the Victorian Racing Tribunal for using a jigger on three racehorses back in 2018. The tribunal, led by Judge John Bowman alongside Judge Kathryn Kings and tribunal member Des Gleeson, unanimously decided on the penalty, deeming it “fair and appropriate.” This decision follows a recent hearing where Racing Victoria stewards had advocated for an additional 10-year ban on top of Weir’s previous four-year disqualification, which concluded in February last year. Weir, who pleaded guilty to charges of animal cruelty, defended himself by emphasizing his rehabilitation, contrition, and remorse. Charges related to corruption had previously been dismissed.

Former New Zealand jockey Trudy Thornton, now based on the Sunshine Coast, has had the opportunity to ride in the Top End for the past two weeks and returns on Saturday for Day 1 of the 2024 Darwin Cup Carnival. Sunshine Coast jockey Trudy Thornton will be hoping it’s third time lucky as she strives for her first Darwin win when she returns to the Top End this weekend. Thornton, 61, has appeared at the past two meetings for three thirds aboard Missed Victory on June 22 and Fierce Legend and Yaki Ishi last weekend for Victorian trainer Neil Dyer. The former New Zealand jockey, who started riding in the late 1990s and relocated to Queensland late last year, has five rides at Fannie Bay on Saturday, which is also Day 1 of the Darwin Cup Carnival. With several Darwin jockeys sidelined, Thornton headed to the NT on the invitation of Thoroughbred Racing NT chief executive officer Andrew O’Toole. “It has been an absolute honour to be up there, I’m thoroughly enjoying it, it’s been good,” she said. “The people are lovely and the jockeys are great, I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity. “I enjoy riding on the track and to get that first win would be awesome. “I’d love to stay for the weekend in Darwin, but I’ve got commitments here at Caloundra riding for the Kerry Taplin stable. “I’m pretty much their main trackwork rider, I don’t like leaving them in the lurch as they’ve been good to me. “I actually don’t leave for Darwin until Friday night before heading back to Brisbane early Sunday morning. “I managed to miss my flight last Friday – that was an error of judgement on my behalf.” Thornton, who boasts 572 wins and 1,623 minor placings from 10,022 starts, hails from Cambridge – 150km south of Auckland – and continues to enjoy life in the saddle. She is a multiple Group 1-winning rider, who has also visited and ridden in Australia in the past. “I’ve been riding for a long time, but I still love it – I love riding and I love the horses,” Thornton said. “I have that competitive streak in me, it’s something that I don’t know if I’ll ever lose. “I’ve been wanting to come to Australia honestly forever. “My children have grown up, I’ve just managed to sell my property back home and so this is where I’m going to situate myself for the foreseeable future.” Thronton is the mother of Brisbane-based jockey Samantha Collett. “Riding for Neil Dyer up in Darwin, his horses are always well presented and well behaved,” she said. “He’s a really nice guy to ride for, so it has been very rewarding really and I much appreciate the opportunity, as well as the chance to ride for other trainers.” NT jockeys Paul Shiers and Wayne Davis are sidelined with injury and Stan Tsaikos and Ianish Luximon are suspended, but Adam Nicholls finally returns from injury on Saturday. Interstate trainers and jockeys on deck for the 10-race meeting at Fannie Bay on Saturday are as follows.

What Sha Tin Races Where Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong When Saturday, July 6, 2024 First Race 4pm HKT (6pm AEST) Visit Dabble Twilight racing returns to Sha Tin on Saturday afternoon, with a bumper 10-part program lined up for punters. The rail is in the C course for the meeting, and although there are some scattered showers forecast in the lead-up, it shouldn’t affect the Good 4 rating at the time of acceptances. All the action is set to get underway at 4pm local time. Check out our best bets and quaddie numbers for the Sha Tin races on July 6. Best Bet at Sha Tin: Courier Aladdin Courier Aladdin makes his debut on the back of some impressive barrier trials. His most recent jump-out on the Sha Tin all-weather circuit particularly caught the eye, with the son of Satono Aladdin going on to score by two lengths after baulking clear along the inside running rail. He gets the services of Hong Kong’s best Zac Purton for race-day, and with barrier four allowing Courier Aladdin to sit within striking distance turning for home, punters can expect a bold showing by the Jamie Richards-trained three-year-old. Best Bet Race 5 – #4 Courier Aladdin (4) 3yo Gelding | T: Jamie Richards | J: Zac Purton (58.5kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Sha Tin: Robot Knight Back-to-back minor placings should have Robot Knight ready to peak in this all-weather Class 4 contest. The Pierre Ng-trained gelding attempted to make every post a winner last start on June 15, only finding one better in the form of Aca Power storming over the top to score by 1.3 lengths. Robot Knight gets a 2kg swing in the weights this time around, and with the key booking of Zac Purton hopping aboard, this guy can turn the tables. Next Best Race 4 – #3 Robot Knight (3) 3yo Gelding | T: Pierre Ng | J: Zac Purton (57kg) Bet with Bet365 Best Value at Sha Tin: Chateauneuf Chateauneuf has had eight weeks off since chasing home New Power at Happy Valley on May 8. He was forced back towards the rear of the field from barrier 11 on that occasion, chasing home gallantly in an on-speed dominated contest. Getting back to the 1400m at Sha Tin should be ideal for the son of Fastnet Rock, and with Zac Purton likely to gain the ideal from stall five, Chateauneuf should get every chance to add a second career win to the resume. Best Value Race 8 – #2 Chateauneuf (5) 3yo Gelding | T: David Hayes | J: Zac Purton (61kg) Bet with Picklebet Hong Kong Saturday quaddie picks Sha Tin quadrella selections Saturday, July 6, 2024 3-5-8-10-12 1-2-4-8-9-14 2-5-9 3-5-6-8-9-11 Horse racing tips

No matter the time of year or the venue, ELiTE Sales knows how to bring a good horse to auction. Names like dual champion Monomoy Girl (Tapizar), who topped the 2020 FTKNOV sale at a cool $9,500,000, or another dual champion in Tepin (Bernstein) who posted the second-highest price of the 2017 FTKNOV sale behind only Songbird (Medaglia d'Oro) at $8,000,000, have passed through their consignments in recent years. Still racing are the likes of MGSW Newgrange (Violence) along with 2023 July grads and stakes winners Power In Numbers (Girvin) and Catiche (Arrogate). Just two months ago, Dana's Beauty (Not This Time) co-topped the Keeneland April Horses of Racing Age Sale when selling to John Stewart's Resolute Racing for $450,000 just before winning the Ouija Board Distaff Stakes in May. The list of grads reads like a “who's who” with success still occurring daily on the track and in the breeding shed. A new group stakes their claim next week as Elite brings a diverse and quality group of horses of racing age to Fasig-Tipton Monday. ELiTE grad Dana's Beauty | Coady Media “I think an important component of a HoRA consignment is variety,” said ELiTE's Katelyn Jackson. “We want to be able to service a wide range of buyers and give them the opportunity to inspect horses at all levels. Elite's July draft features horses with all conditions remaining, allowances horses, some are starter eligible, and we have 2 stakes winning 3-year-olds. It's a really well rounded group of horses.” Topping the group is Reasoned Analysis, a 3-year-old son of Upstart (hip 465) who provided a timely update when taking April's listed Bay Shore Stakes at Aqueduct before out-running his odds to finish fourth behind Book'em Danno (Bucchero) in the GI Woody Stephens Stakes on the Belmont undercard at Saratoga June 8. “Both of his lifetime best Ragozin and Thoro-Graph figures show that he has graded-stakes caliber talent within his division. As a 3-year-old dirt colt, there are a plethora of age-restricted stakes that he can target over the rest of the 2024 racing season.” Horses on an upward trajectory are poised to be the most appealing to buyers Monday and Jackson noted that, while a strong pedigree never hurts, HoRA sales are all about letting track results do the talking. “What's most important is recency and in-form results. Horses that come to the sale off of lifetime best speed figures or that are trending upward are generally the most well received by buyers. With that said we do have some fillies with a bit of pedigree and some residual black type such as [Busher Stakes runner up] Asset Purchase (Dialed In) (hip 500).” Indeed, there is something for every buyer on offer as also among ELiTE's consignment are promising maidens Lake Superior (Quality Road) (hip 435), Mount Fuji (Quality Road) (hip 448), Paris Surprise (City of Light) (hip 458), Public Assembly (More Than Ready) (hip 464), Special Justice (Justify) (hip 472), Stage Presence (Speightstown) (hip 474), Strategic Decision (Good Magic) (hip 476), Tirupati (Mitole) (hip 485) and Utopian (Curlin) (hip 490). Allowance runners include Truly Quality (Quality Road) (hip 486)–also a half to SW/MGSP Mouffy (Uncle Mo), Enahm (Ghostzapper) (hip 420), Etheric (Ghostzapper) (hip 421), Proprietary Trade (Practical Joke) (hip 463), Rollin in Chief Stipeh (Central Banker) (hip 467) and Sacred Image (Catholic Boy) (hip 469). And added to the catalog as supplements earlier this week were Ziti (FR) (Toronado {Ire}) (hip 501), undefeated Lake Abanakee (Central Banker) (hip 503), recent maiden winner Smooching (Mendelssohn) (hip 505) and Party On Girl (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}) (hip 512). Power In Numbers | Bill Denver/Equi-photo “The buying pool at [this] sale has been quite strong in years past,” Jackson continued. “There are always domestic agents looking for horses that might fit the Del Mar ship and win program and of course, you're also looking ahead to the lucrative purses at Kentucky Downs later this summer. There has also been excellent international participation from agents buying on behalf of Middle Eastern clients. Two of our top horses from last July (Power in Numbers and Rebellious Stage) went on to have excellent results in Saudi Arabia during their winter carnival.” “And from a sellers perspective, the Fasig-Tipton July HoRA sale has been a great place to trade in-form racehorses. Owners are typically looking to capitalize on their offering's recent results in order to make way for their incoming crop of 2-year-olds. And as a buyer, summer meets are about to kick off around the country so it provides them the opportunity to reload their stables with in-form horses.” The Fasig-Tipton July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale begins Monday, July 8 at 3 p.m. The post ELiTE Brings Diverse, Quality Consignment To Fasig-Tipton Horses Of Racing Age Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Not even jockey Flavien Prat's hot hand aboard Mystic Lake was enough to fend off the stretch kick from the Tyler Gaffalione-ridden Emery in the $162,750 Victory Ride Stakes (G3) for 3-year-old fillies July 4 at Aqueduct Racetrack.View the full article

By Brigette Solomon South Auckland based driver Joshua Dickie has five drives tonight at Cambridge Raceway and is confident all can give strong performances. Dickie’s first drive is on the Brian and Gareth Hughes trained Grace N Elegance who starts in Race one, the Watchu Security Mobile Trot over 2200 metres. The five year old mare finished fourth here on the 20th June after being held up in the home straight. It wasn’t until the final 50 metres that she found clear running and let down with a strong run. “She’s an honest horse who was quite unlucky last start, after being held up until late I was really happy with the way she hit the line,” says Dickie. “It’s a good race for her tonight in the right grade and being off a mobile she starts off a level mark, I think she’s a good chance.” In Race two, the Barrett Homes – Palisades Mobile Pace, Dickie drives Debrief, his first of three drives for employers Steve and Amanda Telfer. “I like him, he’s a pretty smart colt, well bred and has a lovely attitude and I expect he’ll go a good race tonight although it’s his first start as a two-year-old against the older maidens,” says Dickie. “A couple of his workouts may have just looked ok, but he’s since improved a lot and he’s shown enough speed off the gate to indicate he could go forward early if he needs to.” The well-bred colt, by Captaintreacherous and out of Elle Mac, was a $270,000 purchase at the 2023 NZB Standardbred Yearling sale at Karaka. Slots, also trained by Telfer/Telfer, is Dickie’s next drive in Race five, the Barrett Homes – Moorings Mobile Pace over 2700 metres. The three-year-old colt has had two starts back this campaign at Alexandra Park, finishing back in the field on both occasions and failing to show the ability he displayed when winning at Cambridge back in January. “His last two runs have been below par although I think he can be forgiven his fresh up run where he did a fair bit of work,” says Dickie, “he’s had some little issues and actually got down on his bumpers last week which may have worried him a bit, but he’s drawn nine this week which will suit him and allow him to have a run that can give him a bit of confidence.” In Race six, the Betavet Buildagut Mobile Pace, Dickie drives Jubilee Rock for Telfer/Telfer. The four-year-old mare, although only lightly raced, has failed to produce results after winning her maiden as a two year old at Ashburton. However, a change of scenery in shifting to the Telfer’s North Island base may prove beneficial. “She’ll be interesting as her form is quite bad to be honest, but since her last run at Auckland her trackwork has been brilliant, running time and doing it well,” says Dickie. “There are a couple of decent horses in the race, but I think she’ll go a cheeky race tonight.” Dickie’s final drive of the night is Bad Medicine, starting in Race seven, the Dunstan Horsefeeds Mobile Pace over 2700 metres. With four weeks between his previous two races, Bad Medicine finished fourth in a 2700 metre standing start race at Alexandra Park last week which was won by Coastal Babe. “He’s a smart enough horse and trained by Arna Donnelly here at Cambridge he definitely has to be respected,” says Dickie. “It’s an even enough field although Triple G having his first start in the North could be the one to beat.” Racing action gets underway tonight with Race one at 5.10pm.

By Mike Love Spy Da Moment, trainer Michael Ward and driver Ricky May will combine for what will be an emotional Avon City Ford Mobile Trot at Addington tonight (8.09pm). The winner of six races, Spy Da Moment was formerly owned and trained by the late Katie Cox, who lost her battle with lung cancer earlier this week. Michael Ward has taken over the training of the horse, who comes into tonight’s race off the back of a second fresh-up at Addington two weeks ago. “He’s come through that run alright,” said new trainer Michael Ward. “Katie worked him on Saturday and he worked as good as she wanted him to work. She was happy.” Spy Da Moment will be competing in his 62nd race tonight, but it may well be his last. “I think we may be retiring him after this race. It’s what she (Katie) suggested. We will have a discussion about it, but I think that’s what will happen.” Spy Da Moment was broken in by Cox after proving to be a handful in his younger years. It was Cox’s patience and astute professionalism that has now seen the 11-year-old Monarchy gelding win six races and over $93,000 in stakes. “Katie never got him until he was about six or seven. He was locked up in a box for most of his life. She had done a great job breaking him in. He’d been a handful and he’s had a lot of problems. Katie ironed them out, patched him up and did a terrific job.” Other chances in the event include race favourite Mr Love ($2.20FF) for Greg and Nina Hope, the in-form George Elliot ($4.80FF) for Trevor Grant and Mad Jack ($6.50FF) for Amber Hoffman. However, it is a very even field. Drivers will be wearing blue and/or white armbands (Cox’s racing colours) tonight to honour Katie. Racing commences tonight from 5:20pm. View the full article

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Friday's Observations features a filly out of G1 Hong Kong Vase heroine Daryakana (Fr) (Selkirk). 14.50 Clairefontaine, Debutantes, €22,000, 3yo, f, 12fT DARYLAKHA (IRE) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) arrives at Clairefontaine for her debut 15 years on almost to the day that her dam Daryakana (Fr) (Selkirk) was unveiled here in the same contest.

Francis-Henri Graffard has booked Dorian Provost for the homebred, whose eight rivals include Godolphin's Moonglade (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}), an Andre Fabre-trained daughter of the G2 Rockfel Stakes winner and G1 1,000 Guineas runner-up Lucida (Ire) (Shamardal).

Jun Park and Delia Nash's Sibelius will seek to rebound from a disappointing Dubai adventure in the $120,000 Smile Sprint July 6 at Gulfstream Park. View the full article

In 1981, Arlington Park's president Joe Joyce created the Arlington Million, a mile-and-a-quarter race on turf intended to raise the focus on Chicago racing. Soon after, in 1983, highly-decorated U.S. Army WWII veteran and businessman Richard L Duchossois purchased the track and substantially raised its profile. At the time, European-based racing connections were mostly strangers to American shores. Aside from the successful exploits of American oil company executive Nelson Bunker Hunt and his illustrious France-based trainer Maurice Zilber, European racehorses had cut little ice Stateside since 1969, the year in which trainer Bernard van Cutsem sent Karabas over from Newmarket to take the Washington D.C. International at Laurel Park. When the third-ever Arlington Million was run in the summer of 1983, the new hallmark of Chicago racing and Duchossois's first at the helm had the third-richest purse in all of racing and featured the legendary U.S. turf champ John Henry, an eight-year-old who had won the inaugural Million two years previously. Tolomeo, an Irish-bred trained in Newmarket by Luca Cumani, provided a 38-1 shock to the U.S. betting public when he slipped through an opening on the far side rail under Pat Eddery to defeat the venerable John Henry by a neck. Tolomeo's conquest of John Henry changed European viewpoints and initiated the dawning of an era of widespread international participation seeking to capture Chicago racing's biggest prizes: the Secretariat Stakes for three-year-olds, the Beverly D. Stakes for three-year-olds and older fillies and mares, and the Arlington Million for three-year-olds and up. The European influence on these races partly led to the track being renamed Arlington International Racecourse in 1989. In 1994, Criquette Head got the ball rolling for the Beverly D. when Hatoof, who went on to be named U.S. Champion Female Turf Horse that year, defeated two-time defending U.S. Champion Flawlessly in a vintage renewal. In 1996, the John Oxx-trained Irish starlet Timarida sandwiched a Beverly D. win between Group 1 wins versus male horses in Germany and her native country. There was more to come as European-trained distaffers took the race five more times with South African-bred Crimson Palace (2004), I'm A Dreamer (2012), subsequent U.S. Champion Dank (2013), Euro Charline (2014) and Santa Barbara (2021) all prevailing. Starting with Ciro's win in the 2000 Secretariat, Aidan O'Brien has sent a record-setting quartet of colts to win the race. That group is led by Highland Reel, who won the first of his seven Group/Grade 1s in the 2015 renewal. But clearly, the showpiece was the Million, and routinely, acclaimed European runners, bolstered by generous travel incentives and the standout purse, targeted the race. Since Tolomeo's unexpected triumph, ten invaders, including representatives from England, France, Germany and Ireland, have emerged victorious in the main event. One of those winners was the John Hammond-trained French horse Dear Doctor, who defeated a star-studded field in 1992 under an excellent ride from Cash Asmussen. In addition to defeating celebrated foes like Golden Pheasant, Exit to Nowhere, Quest for Fame, and Marquetry, Dear Doctor nosed out Sky Classic, a Canadian-bred who was later named that year's U.S. Male Turf Champion. Recently, Hammond recalled, “It was a race I had always wanted to try and win, it had kudos and a little stardust for us Europeans. Plus, the racecourse was run by the best man in the business, Dick Duchossois.” He continued, “Dick told me that his orders to his troops were that the whole place had to be so clean that you could eat off the loo floors. It just about was. He had a sign on his desk that said, 'Do not expect what you didn't inspect.' So true.” Of his 1992 hero, Hammond said, “I was quite attached to him [Dear Doctor]. There was no bid on him as a yearling as he was a tall, gangly creature with offset knees. Curiously, he became more correct as he grew and matured. He had a wonderful turn of foot which I have always liked in horses. It won him the Arlington Million.” Sadly for Hammond and countless others, Arlington International Racecourse closed following its 2021 season and, soon after, the property was sold by Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) to the Chicago Bears who had planned to build a new football stadium there. Later, the NFL franchise shelved that idea. CDI ran the famed trio of Arlington races at Churchill Downs in 2022 and, after acquiring Colonial Downs in 2023, made the New Kent, Virginia track their new home. This year, they'll be run on August 10. The Secretariat Stakes and Beverly D. Stakes are Grade II races with $500,000 purses, and the Arlington Million is a Grade I worth, appropriately, $1,000,000 in prize-money. The races have no nomination fee and nominations close on July 24. CDI's executive director of racing Gary Palmisano Jr said, “The turf course at Colonial Downs is 1 1/8th miles around and nearly 180-feet wide, so it offers wide, expansive turns unlike many American tracks. Given Colonial's summertime meet, the Bermuda grass is really able to thrive and take hold, offering the horses excellent footing.” When asked about attracting European-based runners, he reported, “Colonial Downs is actively recruiting throughout Europe for horses to come compete in Virginia. We have a relationship with Adrian Beaumont and the IRB and they work hard to help spread the message of Colonial Downs. We also had a partnership with The Jockey Club and Ascot to have some two-way race programmes that offer horses competing at the highest level the opportunity to ship for these races.” Palmisano Jr concluded, “Anyone interested in nominating or discussing travel incentives can reach out to myself at Gary.Palmisano@kyderby.com.” The post The New Million: From Arlington to Colonial Downs appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Stonestreet Stables' Emery (f, 3, More Than Ready–Athena, by Street Sense) inhaled pacesetting Mystic Lake (Mo Town) in the final strides to earn her first graded victory in the GIII Victory Ride Stakes at Aqueduct Thursday. The 3-5 favorite sat off the pace as Mystic Lake was pressed by Halina's Forte (Mitole) through fractions of :21.72 and :44.38. Emery loomed a threat three wide approaching the lane, but Mystic Lake skipped clear and looked home free in upper stretch only to have the favorite find another gear late to get up by a half-length and complete the 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:15.44. Emery, a first-out winner at Saratoga last August, was fourth behind champion Just F Y I (Justify) in the GI Frizette Stakes. She resurfaced with a 5 1/4-length optional claimer win at Keeneland Apr. 19 and was coming off a 3 1/2-length tally in the seven-furlong Leslie's Lady Stakes at Churchill Downs June 9.
