Copartner Prance makes it six in a row. The 2023/24 Hong Kong trainers’ championship continues to hang in the balance after Francis Lui posted a crucial double, spearheaded by Copartner Prance’s sixth successive win, at Happy Valley on Wednesday night (26 June) to draw onto almost level terms with Pierre Ng in the title race. With only five meetings left in the season, Ng and Lui both have 65 wins but Ng holds sway by virtue of more minor placings as the pair’s rollercoaster battle rolls on. On a night where Zac Purton and Karis Teetan excelled with trebles, Lui erased Ng’s two-win buffer as Mark Newnham and Luke Ferraris combined with a brace. Lui first struck with debutante Packing Hermod in the first section of Class 4 Ng Tung River Handicap (1200m) under Purton before the six-time champion jockey drove Copartner Prance to victory in the Class 2 Tan Shan River Handicap (1200m). “What a tenacious horse he’s turned into, he’s come a long way in a short period of time. It just seems to be getting a little bit better all of the time, which is what you hope they do when they mature and develop,” Purton said of Copartner Prance. “He feels like he’s got a little bit more there so next season after he’s had a bit of a break, he can take another step.” Winless in his first four starts, Copartner Prance has since thrived for Lui, surging through the grades to become the first horse this season to log six successive wins in Hong Kong after starting his career in Class 4. “He keeps improving. Of course it is hard to win six in a row,” Lui said. “There’s a 1200m race at Sha Tin towards the end of the season, but we’ll see how he recovers after the race and I’ll leave it to Zac.” Having piloted Comet Splendido to victory for Danny Shum in the Class 4 Beas River Handicap (1650m), Purton partnered Packing Hermod to an impressive win in the first section of Class 4 Ng Tung River Handicap (1200m). “It was a really good effort because he worked himself up pretty bad before the start, he was sweating a lot and on his toes and I thought he cooked himself a little bit,” Purton said. “He was standing nice (in the barriers) but he didn’t come out cleanly and I was a bit further back than I wanted to be but I was able to get a nice run. “He didn’t change his leg in the straight – it was a good start.” Lui hopes Packing Hermod can feature in the Four-Year-Old Classic series next season. “He’s a good horse but he’s still a three-year-old. I think he’ll have a lot of improvement next season,” he said. “I think he can step up in distance, he’s very relaxed when he travels. “I hope he can be a Classic (Series) horse and I hope in the off season he can grow up. He still has a lot of room to improve and grow.” Teetan matched Purton’s treble and vaulted past the 80-win mark after wins on Me Tsui Arthur’s Kingdom in the Class 5 Nam Chung River Handicap (2200m), Chain Of Gold in the Class 3 Sha Tau Kok River Handicap (1650m) for Cody Mo and David Hall’s Kyrus Dragon in the Class 3 Shek Sheung River Handicap (1200m). “It’s been a very good season and I’m very thankful for the support I get from owners and trainers throughout the season, it means a lot,” Teetan said. “I try to be consistent throughout the season, keep ticking the winners over and keep on building up momentum. “I don’t normally set a target, but it’s great to get to 80 wins.” Luke Ferraris and Mark Newnham extended a flourishing partnership with a double, striking with Setanta in the Class 4 Pearce Memorial Challenge Cup Handicap (1650m) and One For All in the second section of the Class 4 Ng Tung River Handicap (1200m). Referring to his alliance with Ferraris, Newnham said: “We’re going well. We’ve had a good second half. I think this is the fourth meeting in a row we’ve had a winner, so if we can keep that up until the end of the season, I’ll be very happy.” “Mark has been fantastic to me. He’s really supported me solidly throughout the season and, as I’ve touched on before, it’s always nice to repay him with a winner – long may it continue,” Ferraris said. Ricky Yiu’s Hayday made it two wins from his past three starts by leading throughout to snare the third section of the Class 4 Ng Tung River Handicap (1200m). Hong Kong racing continues at Sha Tin on Monday (1 July) with the Hong Kong Reunification Raceday. Horse racing news View the full article

What 2024 Tatts Tiara Where Eagle Farm Racecourse – 230 Lancaster Rd, Ascot QLD 4007 When Saturday, June 29, 2024 Prizemoney $700,000 Distance 1400m Conditions Weight For Age 2023 winner Palaisipan (16) | T: Chris Munce | J: Kyle Wilson-Taylor (57kg) Visit Dabble The Tatts Tiara will be the final Group 1 race of the 2023/24 season, headlining a massive nine-race program at Eagle Farm this Saturday afternoon. A full field of 17 runners is expected for the $700,000 contest, with four of those being three-year-old fillies who will take on the older mares. Although there is rain forecast for Thursday and Friday, the Soft 5 rating at the time of acceptances should be what we are presented with on Saturday. The rail will be in the +6m position from the 1600m-1000m, coming out to +7m for the remainder of the circuit. Following years of dominance from interstate trainers, Queensland-based runners have claimed two of the last three editions of the Tatts Tiara. Can the hometown trainers continue their recent dominance, or will it be another Group 1 victory for interstate raiders on Saturday? Tatts Tiara 2024 odds Bella Nipotina has opened as the clear favourite at +170 with online bookmakers after her impressive preparation in Queensland. C’est Magique recorded a dominant win on debut for the Chris Waller stable, and she sits on the second line of betting at +550. Semana (+900), Coeur Volante (+1200), Opal Ridge (+1200) and Roots (+1200) lead the rest of the field; however, outside the top two in the market, this race looks to be a very open contest. 2024 Tatts Tiara speed map In a race that lacks speed, Zoe’s Promise, Bubble Rock and C’est Magique will push forward to settle in the first four from middle barriers, while Bella Nipotina, Banana Queen and Abounding will attempt to take a sit behind the speed influences. Semana, Vienna Princess, Coeur Volante and Comrade Rosa will settle towards the rear of the field and will appreciate any extra speed that is injected into the race. Continue reading for HorseBetting’s top selections and $100 betting strategy for the 2024 Tatts Tiara. Tatts Tiara 2024 preview & form Ciaron Maher gave Semana a two-month freshen before the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap, and even though she made up good ground down the outside, it looked as though she needed the run first-up. The daughter of Winning Rupert will appreciate a softer track if the rain does keep the surface in the Soft range, and her form second-up (3:2-0-1) is very good. From barrier six, if Semana can get to the middle of the track in the home straight, she will prove very hard to hold out at a good each-way quote. Bella Nipotina has enjoyed an outstanding preparation in Queensland. The Maher-trained mare notched up her second Group 1 victory in the Doomben 10,000 and then finished second in both the Kingsford-Smith Cup and Stradbroke Handicap. Considering the daughter of Pride Of Dubai has maintained fitness and form despite racing since last November, it is impossible to leave her out of the top four against her own sex. C’est Magique broke through last start for her first victory since her debut run in the Group 2 Dane Ripper Stakes, proving way too good for her rivals first-up. In her first run for the Waller stable, the daughter of Zoustar relished the conditions and was given a peach of a ride from James McDonald. From barrier nine, McDonald will have to do some early work to get into a forward position, but if he can weave some magic, C’est Magique will play a prominent role in the finish. Opal Ridge was very good first-up when winning the Listed Ortensia Stakes at Scone, before settling near the rear of the field and only running on steadily from the back in the Group 2 Moreton Cup last start. The Luke Pepper-trained mare is another who appreciates more give in the ground, and if she is within four lengths of the leaders turning for home, her turn of foot will give her every chance. 2024 Tatts Tiara selections & best bets Selections: 2 SEMANA 1 BELLA NIPOTINA 8 C’EST MAGIQUE 4 OPAL RIDGE $100 betting strategy $20 each way Semana (#2) @ +900 & +225 with Neds $40 win Bella Nipotina (#1) @ +170 with Dabble $20 win C’est Magique (#8) @ +550 with Bet365 Tatts Tiara 2024 field 1.

An affinity with Waikato Stud stallion Super Seth prompted Phoenix Broodmare Farm’s Damian Gleeson and Deb Gifford to make a spur-of-the-moment purchase of stakes-winning mare Zecora (NZ) (Power) on gavelhouse.com this week. The New South Wales-based couple paid $150,000 for the six-year-old mare, who won the Gr.3 J Swap Sprint (1400m) earlier this season. Super Seth had been on Gleeson and Gifford’s radar for some time, and not only because of his racetrack and stallion credentials. The Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) winner has made an immediate impact with his first two-year-olds this season, siring seven winners including Gr.3 Baillieu Handicap (1400m) winner and Gr.1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) runner-up Linebacker (NZ), unbeaten Listed winner Super Photon (NZ) and the Group Two-placed Poetic Champion (NZ). “It was a very off-the-cuff purchase,” Gleeson said. “Deb and I run Phoenix Broodmare Farm, where we breed and mainly sell foals through the auction houses in Australia. “We’re over here in New Zealand on holiday at the moment, and we were interested in going to see Super Seth. We actually looked after his granddam Toast of the Coast, whose owner used to keep her on our broodmare farm. “So we were familiar with the family and always had an interest in the stallion. We wanted to go and have a look at him, and I have to say we were even more taken with him after doing that. We were very impressed. “We decided that we were going to try to find a mare to send to him this season. It all happened very quickly from there. We found out about Zecora and liked the sound of her, and then we were sitting in a restaurant in Matamata on Monday evening and bidding on her while we ate.” Zecora is by Power out of the twice-winning mare C’est La Vie (NZ) (Anabaa), who is a full-sister to Group One winner and successful broodmare Imananabaa. Robyn and Russell Rogers trained and part-owned Zecora through a 13-start career that produced four wins and four placings, headed by her Group Three victory at Te Rapa in December. “I didn’t know Russell and Robyn before this, but we rang them about two hours before Zecora was due to be sold, then rang them again straight afterwards,” Gleeson said. “I told Russell that we were going to send the mare to Super Seth, and he said, ‘That’s funny, because that’s exactly what we were going to do with her too if we didn’t end up selling her.’ “We drove to their place the next morning and had a look at the mare, and we’re absolutely delighted with our purchase. It’s one of those interesting stories of fate, that’s for sure.” Stakes winner Chokito was bought by Byerley Bloodstock’s Liam Peters Photo: Race Images Christchurch Fellow stakes-winning mare Chokito (NZ) (Vespa) was also snapped up by an Australian buyer on Monday, selling to bloodstock agent Liam Peters for $85,000 under his Byerley Bloodstock banner. The daughter of Vespa won seven of her 39 starts including the Listed Southland Guineas (1600m). Peters knows the family well, having brokered the private sale earlier this season of her half-sister Luvnwar (NZ) (War Decree). The three-year-old filly had raced three times from the Terri Rae stable at that stage, winning on the Riccarton synthetic track and producing an eye-catching performance for third in the Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m) at Ashburton. Now in the care of Western Australian trainer Michael Grantham and racing in the colours of Peters’ grandfather Bob, Luvnwar has added another two wins to her record including a valuable black-type success in last Saturday’s Listed Belmont Guineas (1600m). Inglewood Stud’s emerging stallion War Decree looms as a leading candidate for Chokito’s mating this spring. Not only is he the sire of Luvnwar, but he also hit trans-Tasman headlines earlier this month with his son Warmonger’s (NZ) runaway Gr.1 Queensland Derby (2400m) victory at Eagle Farm.

Vanessa Arnott secures a spectacular win aboard Noir De Rue for Darwin trainer Jason Manning in the 2023 ROANT Gold Cup at Fannie Bay. (Picture: Caroline Camilleri/Darwin Photography Professionals) It’s ‘Day Zero’ at Fannie Bay on Saturday — the traditional meeting before the Darwin Cup Carnival — and the $30,000 ROANT Gold Cup (1300m) is the feature. History suggests that the ROANT, along with the Chief Minister’s Cup (1600m) and Metric Mile (1600m), is a wonderful guide looking ahead to the $200,000 Darwin Cup (2050m). This year’s ROANT Gold Cup has attracted an excellent 11-horse field with eight runners eyeing the Darwin Cup. Jason Manning’s nine-year-old gelding Noir De Rue, a spectacular winner of the 2023 Day Zero feature, backs up with 63.5kg after lumping 62.5kg a year ago. 2023 ROANT Gold Cup – Noir De Rue Gary Clarke’s Wolfburn, Chloe Baxter’s He’s The Ultimate and Phil Cole’s Saccharo will fly the flag for the Top End. In the 2023 Darwin Cup, Wolfburn finished third, He’s The Ultimate was fifth and Noir De Rue — who also won last year’s CM Cup — was ninth. Alice Springs trainers Kerry Petrick and Carrol Hunter will start Venting and Desert Lass, while Victorian trainers Neil Dyer and Andrew Perdon have entered Hettinger and Starspangled Baby. Wolfburn, He’s The Ultimate, Noir De Rue and Desert Lass are the only horses from the 2023 Darwin Cup contesting the ROANT. Since 2017, the Darwin Cup winner has won or placed in the ROANT, CM Cup or Metric Mile. Royal Request won the CM Cup and Metric Mile before his 2017 Darwin Cup victory, while Zahspeed saluted in the CM Cup before claiming the 2018 Darwin Cup. Ihtsahymn won the 2019 and 2020 Darwin Cup after winning the 2019 Metric Mile and finishing second in the same race in 2020. In 2021, Highly Decorated won the ROANT, CM Cup and Darwin Cup. Clarke’s Playoffs won the 2022 CM Cup and Darwin Cup, while Dick Leech’s Write Your Name was third in last year’s CM Cup before winning the Darwin Cup. 2023 Darwin Cup – Write Your Name Thoroughbred Racing NT chief executive Andrew O’Toole agreed that the ROANT was a good guide when assessing Darwin Cup Carnival form. “Wolfburn, Saccharo, He’s The Ultimate, Hettinger and Desert Lass are good horses, while Starspangled Baby is a Bairnsdale Cup winner,” he said. “This is not a slight on either horse, but I’m not sure about Hettinger over 2000m and Desert Lass has yet to win one of the big races in the NT — she has gone close a few times though. “Son Of Bielski, an impressive winner last Saturday, and Wolfburn are serious contenders come Darwin Cup Day. “Playoffs is back with the Clarke stable, but he has had injury problems and is probably not the horse he once was. “Boom Boom Sweet, Ziggi Rocks, Too Much Class and Fortis In Armis race over 1600m on Saturday, they could step up during carnival. “Venting, this year’s Alice Springs Cup winner, is in line for the $100,000 Triple Crown bonus with victory in the Chief Minister’s and (Darwin) Cup, so the ROANT is an important lead-up for him.” Horse racing news View the full article

Every week, the TDN posts a roundup of the relevant Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) related rulings from around the country. Among this week's rulings, Ohio-based veterinarian Scott Shell has been suspended for two years, fined $25,000 and ordered to pay $10,000 in arbitration costs for administering a substance called “Hemo 15” 228 times to 37 horses in his care between May 29, 2023 and Oct. 19, 2023. His suspension started on Jan. 8, 2024 According to the final decision, Shell submitted a letter prior to the May 28 evidentiary hearing outlining three reasons for the administrations: “(i) Hemo 15 is a vitamin supplement for which FDA approval is not required, (ii) Hemo 15 does not explicitly appear on the Banned Substances list, and (iii) in any event, the multiple Administrations should be considered a single transaction.” The arbitrator ultimately disagreed, writing that, “Dr. Shell's repeated declarations notwithstanding, there is overwhelming evidence that Hemo 15 is not a vitamin but is in fact an unapproved drug. It is properly categorized as an S0 Non-approved Substance.” NEW HISA/HIWU STEWARDS RULINGS The following rulings were reported on HISA's “rulings” portal and through the HIWU “pending” and “resolved” cases portals. Resolved ADMC Violations Date: 06/25/2024 Licensee: Mario Serey Jr., trainer Penalty: None. Equine Controlled Medication charges–concerning an alleged intra-articular injection within 7 days of a workout–were dropped.

Horsemen who are alleging a “present and clear danger” because of a decade's worth of purportedly uncorrected safety issues at Camarero Race Track continue to legally spar with the corporate owners of Puerto Rico's only track and the gaming commission that regulates the island's racing. In response to an Apr. 26 federal lawsuit filed by the Puerto Rico Horse Owners Association, Inc. (PRHOA), both the owners of the track and the Gaming Commission of Puerto Rico filed responses in the United States District Court of Puerto Rico this month that don't specifically contest the alleged safety hazards, but instead plead that the case should be dismissed for failure to state a claim and because a federal court is not the proper jurisdiction to decide the issue. Camarero's June 9 motion to dismiss stated that, “Treating all the allegations of the [lawsuit] as true and drawing all reasonable inferences in favor of the plaintiff, this claim should be dismissed in its entirety, with prejudice, against the appearing defendant, as plaintiff cannot prove any set of facts in support of its claim which would entitle it to relief.” Camarero's filing continued: “Plaintiff's only federal claim against Camarero its immaterial to the facts alleged in the Complaint and made solely for the purpose of obtaining jurisdiction, as no federal statutes apply to the facts alleged by Plaintiff against Camarero.” The gaming commission, in a separate motion to dismiss filed June 4, made a different argument for the case to get tossed out of court. “In essence, Plaintiff alleges that the Commission failed to maintain the Thoroughbred racetrack at Hipódromo Camarero, resulting in unsafe conditions for riders and Thoroughbreds, causing damages to Plaintiff. However, PRHOA's claims against the Commission fail to establish a legal basis for liability because the Commission, as a regulatory body, does not execute the maintenance of the racetrack. “Moreover, the facts do not establish a state action, nor do they amount to a constitutional violation. Also, the Commission is protected under the immunity provided by the Eleventh Amendment of the US Constitution,” the commission's filing stated. Regarding the Eleventh Amendment, the commission stated, “Federal courts have limited authority in suits against state governments. States are immune from suits in federal court brought by their own citizens. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is treated like a state for these purposes.” The commission also made this assertion: “There is no doubt that the Commission regulates Camarero's activities and must ensure that Camarero follows the applicable regulations. But that, in itself, is not sufficient nexus between the alleged conduct (not giving proper maintenance to the Racetrack) and the Commission.” The PRHOA on June 24 filed written opposition to dismissing the case. “Camarero cannot reject or deny its participation in the factual scenario on which the Complaint is premised,” the PRHOA filing stated. “The condition of the Racetrack resulting in the suspension of the official races and the morning workouts, coupled with the injuries suffered by the Thoroughbreds owned by the members of PRHOA, have caused PRHOA's members substantial damages, estimated in not less than $500,000.00, due to the resulting loss of purse money and of the investment therein… “The lack of action by the Commission and its members [in] in concert with Camarero [constitute] an illegal violation of PRHOA and its members' civil rights, in violation of the Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution and 42 USC section 1983. Said acts and omissions are grossly negligent or intentional and taken in reckless disregard and deliberate indifference of the rights of PRHOA and its members,” the PRHOA filing stated. Camarero Race Track gallop out | T.D. Thornton The PRHOA had claimed in its Apr. 26 lawsuit that despite several years of official complaints lodged to address the alleged safety issues, the gaming commission and track management have purportedly ignored the horse owners' repeated calls for safety upgrades. The PRHOA also cited a history of cancelled racing and training, on both dry and wet tracks. The PRHOA, among other demands, wants a federal judge to compel Camarero and the commission “to immediately grant access” to John Passero, the noted track-safety consultant who years ago served as the track superintendent at Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course. Passero was recently retained by the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association as a consultant when problems emerged at those two tracks, and is widely recognized as a national expert in his field. The PRHOA had previously asked for Passero to be furnished with whatever historical track safety study and maintenance data the commission and Camarero have compiled, “as well as all expert reports on the Racetrack by experts issued during the years 2019 to 2024,” so that Passero can “submit a report with his recommendations on the condition of the Racetrack.” Those requests, which were made earlier this year, went unmet, according to the lawsuit. The PRHOA's suit alleges that Camarero, “since 2016 suffers from dangerous conditions…in particular [in] its final stretch in the mile and one-sixteenth area…due to having consistency problems, unevenness, problems of humidity, lack of compaction and lack of effective maintenance, among others.” The complaint detailed two years of efforts by the PRHOA to try to remedy the safety issues by filing official complaints with the commission and by bringing the issue before an administrative law judge. The PRHOA's June 24 filing claimed that the case is indeed suitable for a federal court, primarily because by importing and exporting simulcast signals, “Camarero is engaged in interstate commerce under the Interstate Horse Racing Act of 1978.” The post Camarero Horsemen Spar In Federal Court With Track, Commission Over Alleged Safety Issues appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

It could happen this weekend at Woodbine. But if not, it won't be that much longer before Emma-Jayne Wilson reaches one of the most significant milestones of her a career. She has $89,920,723 (US) in career earnings, just $206,311 behind Julie Krone, widely recognized as the greatest female rider ever. Wilson, 41, is a lot like Krone. Neither wanted to be known as good girl jockeys, but just good jockeys, period. But Wilson understands that the upcoming accomplishment would not be recognized if she were not a woman. The leading all-time leader in money earned is John Velazquez, who is still going strong and had amassed $480,922,616 in earnings. “I don't want to focus on gender as a big thing in racing,” she said. “But I am well aware of the milestone and the path that has been paved for us to be successful. Learning about these records and seeing them being broke leads to more opportunities for more women to be equal in the game. That's what make it important for me.” But how will she feel when she owns the title? “I'm not sure how I will feel,” Wilson said. “It's been a steady progression to get there and I've known about it for a while. It's not about besting any aspect of Julie's career or the records she holds. It's more about being able to continue on the path she's paved for us with her achievements. We're both very strong advocates for equality for women in sports and in particular racing. That milestone of reaching the earnings records means I just get to join her in the accomplishment.” Wilson, who is from Brampton, Ontario, broke into the business in 2004. She rode her first winner, Ali Olah (Bold and Flashy), in an Aug. 28 race at Fort Erie that year. It didn't take her long to get going. Winning back-to-back Sovereign Awards as Canada's top apprentice in 2005 and 2006, she took home an Eclipse Award as the top bug in Northern America in 2006. Emma-Jayne Wilson | Michael Burns As so often happens, her numbers went down after she lost her apprentice allowance, but that didn't change her resolve. She knew that her days of dominating Woodbine wouldn't last forever, and they didn't. But she knew she had what it took to be a top five rider and has made that happen. Riding for 20 years she has had only two relatively small injuries. She's been the steadiest and, perhaps, most reliable member among the Woodbine jockey colony. From 2021 through 2023, she rode 253 winners, 87 one year and 83 in each of the other two years. Steady but not spectacular, she kept compiling numbers, so much so that she kept inching closer to Krone's record. It's been all about showing up and doing your job. “You need the support of the owner and you need the horses to show up on the day. But you also have to stay resilient and stay true to our love of the game,” she said. “There have been ups and downs in my career, injuries, slumps. You have to stay as resilient as you can stay and stay focused on the task at hand. This weekend I will focus on each horse and getting the best out of each one. I won't be focusing on the record.” Riding almost exclusively at Woodbine, she picked up the biggest win of her career in the 2007 Queen's Plate which she won aboard Mike Fox (Giant's Causeway). “I am Canadian and Woodbine is my home,” she said. “I grew up with Woodbine 20 minutes from me. I grew up watching the Queen's Plate. To have that as a feather in my cap is massive. I remember the day when I wrote it down on my list of goals, that I would win the Queen's Plat. It was a dream.” Officially, Wilson will break Krone's record, but to understand the careers both have had you need to dig behind the numbers. Wilson has had 1,896 winners while Krone had 3,704. The only reason Wilson has come anywhere close to Krone's record is that purses have exploded since 2003, when Krone retired. That's among the reasons Wilson doesn't want to steal the spotlight from Krone, but she's very happy sharing it. “To be compared favorably to Julie gives me a chance to be a role model,” she said. “I have twin daughters and they are seven. I am their role model, but I want to be more than that. I want to be a role model for everyone. I went to Saudi Arabia and rode in one of the first International Jockey challenges there. That was an opportunity to just be a female jockey and showcase what I can do and what all female riders can do. It's an opportunity to show that we, despite our gender, are equal.” The post Emma Jayne Wilson About To Surpass Krone’s Earning Record appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The opening day of the Tattersalls Ireland 50th Derby Sale saw 10 lots sell for six-figure sums, with a top price of €175,000 given for the already-named Boedic (Fr) (lot 86). Tom Malone struck the opening bid for the No Risk At All (Fr) gelding at €100,000, but it was Harold Kirk, buying for Willie Mullins, who proved to be successful. “That was a bit of a shock!” said Kirk when referencing Malone's starting bid. “This horse was my number one for today. He is by one of my favourite sires and the dam was a very good cross-country mare, which we love as we have had some very good horses out of cross-country mares. “He is a stunning individual and has fantastic movement–he just ticked every box. Every time I saw him I loved him more and he is for an owner in Willie's yard.” The gelding was offered by Creighmore Stables, whose Michael O'Brien, a second-season consignor, spent three years working with Walter Connors before branching out on his own. “My first thought was that I hope someone else goes on!” joked O'Brien when asked of his reaction to Malone's opening bid. “I was hoping that he was going to be an important horse today–a lot of people told me that they thought he is the nicest here today. I am delighted that he is going to Willie Mullins.” Norman Williamson's Oak Tree Farm was the day's leading consignor with three of its four lots offered selling for at least €90,000. The top-priced of the trio was the already-named Bouffan Has (Fr) (Doctor Dino {Fr}) (lot 103), a half-brother to the talented hurdler Botox Has (Fr) (Dream Well {Fr}). He sold to Mags O'Toole for €170,000. The Lakefield Farm-consigned Sunshineway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) (lot 169), a half-brother to the Listed winner and Group 3-placed Flat runner Styledargent (Fr) (Style Vendome {Fr}), was another highlight of day one when going to Ross Doyle for €170,000, while lots 115 and 177 were best of the rest when selling for €120,000 apiece. Lot 115, the Baroda Stud-consigned Crystal Ocean (GB) gelding out of the Yeats (Ire) mare Carrowmore (Ire), was bought by Harold Kirk, Willie Mullins and M. V. Magnier, while the Jukebox Jury (Ire) gelding from Brook Lodge Stud went the way of Kevin Ross Bloodstock. Day one ended with 142 horses being sold (78% clearance rate) for a total of €6,656,500 at an average of €46,877 and a median of €39,000. The second day of the 50th Derby Sale begins at 10.30am on Thursday.

That transaction took place about six weeks after this colt's Grade III-winning half-sister She Can't Sing (Bernardini) was sold to Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa for $1.1 million and 14-year-old dam Distorted Music (Distorted Humor) fetched $375,000 from Springhouse Farm at Fasig-Tipton in February. Distorted Music is a half-sister to Grade III-placed Zinzay (Smart Strike), the dam of SW & MGSP Moon Over Miami (Malibu Moon) and the third dam includes G1 Dubai World Cup winner and 'TDN Rising Star' Mystic Guide (Ghostzapper). Voodoo Daddy (Good Magic) sold for $49,000 at Keeneland November in 2022 before blossoming into a $370,000 Fasig-Tipton July yearling.

Wednesday's Listed Al Shira'aa Racing Irish EBF Naas Oaks Trial looked a hot contest beforehand and it proved just that as The Aga Khan unearthed another 2024 Classic contender in Hanalia (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}–Hanakiyya {Ire}, by Danehill Dancer {Ire}). Settled in rear by Ben Coen early, the 16-1 shot who had taken a 10-furlong Curragh maiden last month was in the right place with the pace on up front and the pressure turned up in early straight. Launched wide to overhaul the Ger Lyons representative Bellezza (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) and Ballydoyle's Greenfinch (Justify) inside the final 150 yards, the Johnny Murtagh-trained relative of Sea The Stars' dual Derby hero Harzand (Ire) stayed on to beat that pair by 3/4 of a length and a short head respectively. 16-1 winner of the Listed highlight!

By Michael Guerin Being called a square isn’t usually a compliment but when Barry Purdon says it about Merlin it is meant with love. And a warning. The $1million Race by Grins winner is back to work with trainer Purdon and partner Scott Phelan, one of a trio they have being aimed at the New Zealand Cup in November. The red hot stable also have Miracle Mile runner-up Sooner The Better and unbelievable Taylor Mile/Messenger winner Mach Shard for the great race, giving them rare control over their own build-up. By having three genuine open class stars they can plan where and when they race and their trio alone will go a long way to ensuring races like the Spring Cup and Holmes D G get off the ground in the north during the spring, something which has been doubtful on occasions in the last decade. Consistent and confirmed lead-up races will provide the stable with certainty about their early season targets as Purdon has tended to prefer keeping his New Zealand Cup horses in the north for as long as possible before launching his Canterbury assault. “All three of them are back in work and we couldn’t be happier with them,” says Purdon. “Mach Shard actually never really went out of work, being an older horse we kept him jogging every few days but Merlin and Sooner The Better had good spells. “They both look great but Merlin has developed even more. He looks like a square.” By square Purdon doesn’t mean somebody who is good at maths and goes to bed early, he means Merlin is also as wide as he is long, the four-year-old pacer having developed a body builder physique. He has clearly developed into a stronger horse than arch rival Don’t Stop Dreaming, that strength one of the reasons he was able to over-power him in the Race by Grins at Cambridge in April. “He looks so strong and that can only help this campaign so to have three genuinely top class horses who raced so well in the first half of the year is very exciting looking forward to the second half.” That serves as a powerful warning to his local rivals because if Merlin is getting strong he could well be our best pacer over the next year or longer. The Purdon/Phelan power players don’t stop there for a stable that has already won a NZ-leading $1,572,332 in stakes as the half way stage of the harness season with 34 winners from just 119 starters. They also have star three-year-olds Duchess Megxit and Cold Chisel and a small army of talented juveniles suggesting they have the strongest racing team in New Zealand for the back end of 2024. None of those will be at Alexandra Park tonight but Purdon/Phelan still have a major winning hope in both the main pace as well as an unlucky last start runner in Isla’s Son in race 9, the Book Now for Mid-winter Christmas at Alex Park Mobile Trot. He really should win second-up after a long layoff caused by a quarter crack. Artisan (R7, No.5) is nearing the end of her racing career as the broodmare paddock beckons but finds herself in a winnable Commercial Realty Winter Cup. “She probably only has a few starts left before she retires but she is a good standing start mare and this looks a really suitable race,” says Purdon. Earlier in the night the unbeaten Arna Donnelly-trained Mako will try to extend that sequence to three wins and even from a second line draw looks the one to beat in the Classique Landscapers Mobile Pace.

Dream Team One Racing Stable's well-related ANAKARINA (f, 2, Vekoma–Tacit Approval, by Tapit) catapulted her boom freshman sire (by Candy Ride {Arg}) back into the lead for first-crop winners (with nine) after blitzing her rivals from front Wednesday at Churchill Downs to become a 'TDN Rising Star'. A homebred half-sister to the globetrotting Grade II Cigar Mile Handicap hero Hoist the Gold (Mineshaft), Anakarina was off at odds of 3.89-1 and hit the ground running from the three hole, leading a good-looking and well-pedigreed bunch on paper through an opening quarter-mile in :22.05. Showing no signs of stopping around the turn and into the stretch, Anakarina remained under light hand urging from Tyler Gaffalione past a half in :44.99 and kept on nicely to graduate by three lengths. Reliable Source ( Volatile), off at an overlaid 8-1 from a 3-1 morning line, was shuffled back to about third last with two furlongs to race, but made stealthy inside progress in the stretch and split rivals with good energy to complete the exacta. Empress Julia (Uncle Mo) drew in from the also-eligibles and ran well from her widest draw to be third. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0. O/B-Dream Team One Racing Stable (KY); T-Dallas Stewart. #3 ANAKARINA ($9.78) breaks fast under @Tyler_Gaff who sits chilly for the Race 4 victory at Churchill Downs.
