Apprentice jockey Maria Sanson has been with Caitlyns Wish for almost every step of her career, and a tough front-running victory in Saturday’s Mike Stent Decorators Sprint (1200m) at Te Rapa handed them their fifth win together. The $40,000 sprint was the sixth win from 15 starts for Caitlyns Wish, who has also picked up five placings and has earned more than $124,000 for the estate of the late Stan Painton. Sanson has been in the saddle for 12 of those 15 races, winning five times and placing in another four. The pair have enjoyed a particularly successful autumn and winter, starting with an impressive win at Wanganui on April 27 and a placing at Pukekohe on May 25. With Sanson riding at the northern meeting on June 1, Ciel Butler took over on Caitlyns Wish when she made another successful visit to Wanganui – the only time anyone other than Sanson has won on the mare. Sanson was back aboard on Saturday as the pair went wire-to-wire to defeat a well-credentialled sprint field. Plenty of pace was expected in the Mike Stent Decorators Sprint, but that script quickly went out the window when renowned front-runner Babylon Berlin bombed the start and settled at the back of the field. Sanson seized that opportunity, going forward and dictating terms in front while another frequent leader, Johny Johny, sat just behind her in second spot. Caitlyns Wish shook free of Johny Johny at the home turn, but then she faced another battle down the straight as Gospodin, Highlighter and Dusty Road finished strongly and ate into her advantage. Caitlyns Wish was equal to that challenge, holding out the chasing trio and winning by three-quarters of a length. The under-rated mare is trained by Stephen Autridge, who is open to the possibility of taking on elite company while Caitlyns Wish is in such outstanding form. “I might even look at a Foxbridge Plate (Gr.2, 1200m),” he said. “She’s in good form, she loves these sorts of track conditions and she likes it here at Te Rapa. “It was always going to be a tactical race today, and I think we were a bit lucky with the way it worked out. We hadn’t planned to ride her that way, but Maria gets on so well with Caitlyn and she judged it well in this race. “With those good horses right up at the top of the weights, we were all the way down on the minimum and claiming 3kg as well, so that was a big plus for us.” The win completed a race-to-race double on the Te Rapa card for Sanson, who also won the Skycity Hamilton (1400m) with $27 outsider Barcelona. Sanson now boasts a total of 35 wins in her riding career. “When mares like this get into form, they usually stay in form,” Sanson said. “It was a good win today. I thought Johny Johny might take me on when I went to the front, but Ngakau (Hailey) ended up sitting off me. “She was vulnerable out in front for a long time, but she’s tough as. She just kicked too strongly. Hopefully she’ll keep running as well as this all through the winter.” Caitlyns Wish continued a remarkable run of winter form for the former Haunui Farm shuttle stallion Belardo, who also sired fellow Te Rapa winner Barcelona along with Farravallo, who won the opening race on the card at Trentham.

Berry The Cash added another dominant hurdle victory to his ever-growing list of achievements in Saturday’s Fairview Motors Waikato Hurdle (3200m) at Te Rapa. Prepared by Mark Oulaghan, Berry The Cash made a bold statement winning last year’s Grand National Hurdles (4200m) in his first season over fences, and he picked up where he left off in the hurdling role with a comfortable victory in the Awapuni Hurdle (3000m) last month. The son of Jakkalberry ventured north to Te Rapa for his next assignment as a $1.70 favourite, with his closest danger returning star hurdler Nedwin at $5.80, who won last year’s Great Northern Hurdles (4200m) and started the 73kg topweight on Saturday. In the hands of regular rider Portia Matthews, Berry The Cash settled into his work in midfield, while English Gambler soon broke away to a 15-length margin in his typical front-running style. The lead was narrowed as the field headed down the back straight for the final time, the charge led by a cruising Berry The Cash, who got on even terms with English Gambler passing the 600m mark while the remainder of the field were well off the bridle. Berry The Cash hit the front turning for home and the margin was extending as English Gambler fell at the second-last, leaving Matthews to guide the seven-year-old to an 11-length demolition over Smug and Lord Spencer, who fought gamely into the minor placings. Matthews shook her head and saluted in admiration of the gelding passing the post, their partnership now spanning five wins from nine attempts. “He’s incredible, and we haven’t seen the end of it now,” she said. “I ride him differently when English Gambler is in the race because I don’t want to put myself too far behind, but I know when English Gambler stops, he stops very quickly and with the ground being the way it was with the extra distance, I knew that the track was going to suit my horse better. I never panicked, and I knew it was coming up for me. “He gets a couple of rough ones (jumps), but I’ve ridden him all the way through, so I know what to expect. We’ve worked our way over those rough ones, and he just goes phenomenally. “He’s only a second-season jumper and Mark has been very patient with him, I can’t thank him enough for the connection with this horse and carrying on through our ups and downs. “The group of owners have been wonderful and have supported me all of the way.” Oulaghan had left Berry The Cash in the care of Tommy Hazlett for the meeting, a former top jump’s jockey who had major success for the stable with notable partnerships including Yourtheman and Counter Punch. “The boss (Oulaghan) has done it again. He had a fair idea 18 months ago that this horse had a fair bit of potential, and his run the other day at Woodville was absolutely magnificent,” Hazlett said. “Isn’t she (Matthews) riding well, she’s really turned a leaf this year. She’s relaxed, she’s not overthinking things, she sees a stride well, and she gets along with this horse absolutely fantastically, “I was a bit worried when Portia started to chase the tearaway leader (English Gambler) at the half-mile because I had my doubts whether or not he would stay, but I’ve been away from the game a long time and I’d be far from telling her what to do. “She’s done a great job, and he’s a serious animal this horse.” The victory also extended Mathews’ lead atop the Jump Jockey’s Premiership with 10 wins, two ahead of Shaun Fannin. She added a further win two races later aboard stablemate Super Spirit in the day’s maiden steeplechase. Berry The Cash has won $192,100 in stakes earnings for connections in 27 starts.

New Zealand import Strathtay has wasted no time in making his mark in Australia, scoring a runaway win at Rosehill on Saturday in his second start for the Chris Waller stable. A two-time winner from eight races for Matamata trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott, the Preferment gelding flew across the Tasman in February. He finished an eye-catching fifth in his Australian debut at Rosehill on June 1, and he returned there second-up on Saturday and made a statement in the A$160,000 James Squire Handicap (2000m). Strathtay jumped from the inside gate and was ridden by Jay Ford, who took up a midfield position beside the rail. Ford moved away from the fence coming up to the turn, and he presented Strathtay on the outside of the leading trio at the top of the straight. The four-year-old produced a smart turn of foot in testing Heavy9 ground and shot clear, opening up a winning margin of three and a half lengths. “I rode this fella first-up the other day and was rapt with how he went,” Ford said. “I came here confident that he’d run really well. “Most importantly, he settled a lot better today. He obviously handles wet conditions very well, so I think he’s going to have a good winter. He really stretched out and lengthened nicely down the straight today. “He should have a successful campaign ahead of him. He’s got plenty of stamina.” Strathtay has now had 10 starts for three wins and a placing, earning A$125,678 for his owner-breeder Iain Bruce. “He’s a horse going places and he was fantastic today,” Waller’s assistant trainer Charlie Duckworth said. “Jay had plenty of confidence pre-race today after the feel the horse had given him in his first-up run. His only concern was whether he might pull a little bit, going straight to 2000m second-up, but to his credit the horse performed very well. “His father Preferment was a fantastic racehorse himself, and he’s obviously put a little bit into this son of his. Hopefully he can go onwards and upwards from here. “Mr Bruce has been a massive supporter of Chris over the years and he owns this horse outright, so it’s a big win.” One of 44 winners from 114 runners for Brighthill Farm stallion Preferment, Strathtay is out of the Savoire Vivre mare Miss Remington. Miss Remington was a placegetter on the racetrack and is a half-sister to the Group Three winner and Gr.1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1400m) fourth placegetter Miss Steele. Both of Miss Remington’s two foals to race have been winners. Since Strathtay was foaled in the spring of 2019, Miss Remington has had two further matings to Preferment and produced the three-year-old filly Cash Treasure and an unnamed two-year-old colt. She foaled a colt by young Cambridge Stud stallion Sword Of State last spring. View the full article

Godolphin colt Broadsiding continued his winning streak with a stunning display in the 2024 Ladbrokes JJ Atkins results at Eagle Farm on Saturday. Champion jockey James McDonald piloted the two-year-old to a comfortable victory, securing his 98th career Group 1 win and 19th for the season. Broadsiding ($1.60F), a Too Darn Hot colt, dominated the […] The post Broadsiding Claims Dominant 2024 JJ Atkins Victory at Eagle Farm appeared first on HorseRacing.com.au. View the full article

James McDonald salutes as Broadsiding destroys his rivals in the Group 1 JJ Atkins. Photo: Darren Winningham Broadsiding announced himself as the best two-year-old galloper in Australia with a breath-taking win in the Group 1 J.J. Atkins, as James McDonald rose in the irons to salute the crowd as the pair crossed the line 4.25 lengths ahead of the rest of the field. The James Cummings-trained colt has taken everything in his stride this season, claiming the Group 1 Champagne Stakes three starts back before producing a slashing run to claim the Group 2 BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes last start at the same track as Saturday’s victory. A son of Too Darn Hot, Broadsiding opened as an odds-on market elect when the fields came out on Wednesday, and punters continued to back the favourite, who jumped at -166.67 with online bookmakers. China Sea (+10000) and Aemelius (+1800) made sure that the tempo was strong as they served up to each other mid-race and tried to kick away before the home turn, while Busustow (+3300) and El Morzillo (+1300) stalked them and started to peel off their heels. However, everyone could see McDonald coasting along aboard the eventual winner and when he asked for the ultimate effort, Broadsiding bounded clear and put the race to bed with 200m to go. 2024 J.J. Atkins replay – Broadsiding James Cummings was very complimentary of his rising star, and he spoke post-race. “He’s such a good colt, so he certainly deserved his chance but great credit to the team who have managed through a big campaign,” Cummings said. “The only real doubt throughout the week for some was a dry track or perhaps even a long prep but I’ve got such a good team that I’ve been able to keep not only fit but also healthy, well, growing, and loving his training. “He paraded like a colt that was thriving and he got the big salute there from James McDonald. “He sort of had that feel about perhaps being the best two-year-old in the country this season. “He’s been a horse that has been able to keep improving and being by Too Darn Hot out of a Street Cry mare, he’s got his future well and truly assured on the roster at Darley. “We haven’t had the best of luck earlier in the day and he said I’ll be getting out on this horse, and he just rode the horse magnificently. “That big salute, that’s pretty special for a colt that I think deserves a lot of praise.” James McDonald echoed the thoughts of Cummings in his post-race interview. “Champion two-year-old that one,” McDonald announced. “I’ve had enough practices being in behind today, I thought I better let that one go. I thought we executed the gallop beautifully. “He’s a ball of muscle. He knows he’s really good. “He’s a character but James (Cummings) has done a phenomenal job. I can’t stress how good a job he’s done, to be fair. “He keeps raising the bar but he’s got a good colt on his hands. He’s special. “He is a fair dinkum two-year-old and he will get stronger as he gets older. It is a pleasure to ride him.” Horse racing news View the full article

The lethal combination of Tim Clark and the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott stable struck with Bases Loaded (+600) in the Group 3 Gunsynd Classic as the three-year-old colt led all the way in the 1600m contest at Eagle Farm. Although the connections of the winner wouldn’t have been happy after drawing barrier 15, it appeared as though it worked in their favour as Clark pushed forward and crossed the field to find an uncontested lead. The son of Deep Field ran the field along early in the race before getting a mid-race breather, which allowed him to fill up the lungs and kick away on the home turn and race away from his rivals. Thanks to a great front-running ride by Clark, Bases Loaded didn’t give anything else a chance, with the best of the rest being Port Lockroy (+1000) and McHale (+2200), who ran on nicely from midfield to fill the placings. The race favourite, Razors (+180), made up solid ground but it was all to no avail as the leader was hailed the winner with more than 100m to go in the race as he held an unassailable lead. 2024 Gunsynd Classic replay – Bases Loaded Adrian Bott spoke post-race about the win of Bases Loaded after his stylish win. “He’s a very talented horse and that is the style of racing that he likes. The mile is his pet distance and a sustained tempo which he can do,” Bott said. “I thought he broke their hearts in the mid stages the way he got rolling and was able to be tough enough to hang on. “(Third-up) has been the key. He’s been a talented horse right from the outset. “The best run of his career was in a group one placing at a mile to Militarize so we’ve always been trying to get back to those conditions. “It just took those couple of runs to really get the fitness improvement that we needed and get back to the right conditions. “Getting him back on top of the ground today was the key.” Tim Clark was very pleased with the win and spoke post-race about the strength of Bases Loaded’s victory. “He came into this prep after a long layoff and he’s a big horse that has needed that couple of runs to get that fitness into him,” Clark said of the winner. “Third-up at a mile with a good base underneath him, he was ready to go today. “He just needed a bit of racing. He’s been running really well on rain affected ground over shorter distances, and getting up to the mile today on a dry track, he’d put his best foot forward. “He ran through the line strongly. I couldn’t pull him up so I know that the guys up here looking after him were really pleased with him.” Horse racing news View the full article

Alegron salutes in the Group 2 Brisbane Cup. Photo: Darren Winningham Dylan Gibbons and Bjorn Baker have combined with Alegron (+700) to take out the Group 2 Brisbane Cup at Eagle Farm on Saturday afternoon. The five-year-old gelding entered the 3200m contest off the back of a strong performance behind the Hezashocka in the Group 3 Premier’s Cup two weeks ago at the same track over 2400m. After jumping from barrier nine, Gibbons took his mount to the back of the field and allowed the race to unfold before getting on the back of Amade (+600) turning for home, and when he asked for an effort, the son of Teofilo let down with a strong finish. As expected, Knight’s Order (+2000) ran the race along at a good tempo at the front of the field, with his stablemate Goldman (+900) settled behind in second; however, the leading division began to struggle at the 400m mark, and the swoopers started to make their runs. The race favourite with online bookmakers, Mostly Cloudy (+125), stayed towards the inside and looked for gaps but was held up until the 200m mark behind the slowing leaders; meanwhile, Captain Envious (+900) and Alegron took over and started to draw away. Once Mostly Cloudy got a run on the inside rail, he finished off strongly, but he had to settle for a second-place finish ahead of Captain Envious, still a length off the winner, with Warning (+1200) running home nicely into fourth. 2024 Brisbane Cup replay – Alegron Jim Clark was on course to represent the Bjorn Baker stable in the post-race interview. “He’s been a fantastic horse since Bjorn bought him relatively inexpensively,” Clark said. “He’s had a really good prep and his run the other day put the writing on the wall. “They were very confident he’d be strong at the end of two miles. “They ran along nicely and it was a really cool ride from Dylan. Great result. “Each run he has kept improving physically. “I thought he looked a million dollars today. Stepping up to the two miles is the key. “I’m sure that is the ultimate aim (Melbourne Cup). “It’d be a great story – an online purchase and one that could get to a Melbourne Cup after a wind operation. Bjorn has had very good luck with that.” Dylan Gibbons spoke about the ease of the win post-race. “I only had to think for about 400 meters, so it was great,” Gibbons said of his ride on the winner. “His run the other day was enormous and he took me into the race. ”I just had to give him that good 400-metres and I knew he’d be tough for me late and he had to be. “I had a look back through his form and he’d won over 2800-metres so Bjorn isn’t afraid to get him out (in distance).” Horse racing news View the full article

Rich Strike (Keen Ice), who upset the GI Kentucky Derby at 80-1 in 2022, is set to join trainer Bill Mott, according to owner Rick Dawson. Rich Strike was last seen finishing fifth for his former trainer Eric Reed in the 2023 running of the GII Alysheba S. at Churchill Downs. “Richie visited Rood & Riddle this morning for his final ultrasound test,” Dawson said in a Facebook post on Thursday. “All went as good as could be expected & better than expectations on several issues – our plan is to move him to HofF Trainer Bill Mott in a few days. Richie's training will be stepped up slowly & forwardly over the next month or two. Should he continue to stay sound after more training is implemented we will look for a first race that fits him coming back from over a year off the track.” Withdrawn by Dawson from last year's Keeneland November Sale, Rich Strike subsequently underwent stem cell treatments — under the advice of Dr. Larry Bramlage — aimed at healing issues with his suspensory ligaments in his two front legs.

Stan Tsaikos, a long-time rider in Victoria and Tasmania, returns to scale aboard Dakota Lee for Alice Springs trainer Terry Gillett after saluting at Pioneer Park where the five-year-old mare is unbeaten in eight starts. He has had big days in Alice Springs previously, and with a decent book of rides, Stan Tsaikos could be the one to follow on Sunday. Tsaikos, who continues to commute from his Geelong base to ride in Alice Springs and Darwin, will partner Terry Gillett’s Dakota Lee, Family Ties and Altar Boy, as well as Dan Morgan’s Maid Of Mystery. The quartet are considered to have strong hopes, with Tsaikos having ridden five winners during a meeting at Pioneer Park and four winners on two other occasions. He has won the Alice Springs and Provincial jockeys’ premiership twice and won the Alice Springs Cup on Kerry Petrick’s Venting in April. That’s after winning the Pioneer Sprint (Supreme Attraction), NT Guineas (Valley Prince), Chief Ministers Cup (That’s Justified) and The Soldier Lightning (Early Crow) in the past. Alice Springs’ pride and joy Dakota Lee, the $1.85 favourite with online bookmakers, will aim to make it nine wins from as many starts at her home track when she takes on open company over 1200m. The five-year-old mare, who developed claustrophobia two years ago when being placed into the stalls before being sent to Ballarat trainers Tony and Calvin McEvoy for therapy, could head to Darwin for the Palmerston Sprint (1200m) in August, should she salute. The daughter of Kuroshio, who also injured her suspensory with the McEvoy’s, won seven straight for the Gillett’s before she was scratched from the NT Guineas (1600m) in April 2022 when she refused to enter the gates. She made her return at Moonee Valley in February when ninth over 1000m (BM64) before making a triumphant home-coming over 1000m at open level on Alice Springs Cup Day (April 7) with Gillett’s apprentice daughter Dakota-Lee, whom the horse was named after, the pilot for the first time. Tsaikos, who has had six wins aboard Dakota Lee, replaces Dakota-Lee on Sunday, with the apprentice riding the Gillett’s new arrival Morgenstern. “Obviously, I’m looking forward to getting back on Dakota Lee,” Tsaikos said. “Fingers crossed, we can try and fix her barrier manners. “Not that she is any trouble in the barriers, it’s more getting her in – it’s a confidence thing. “Terry hasn’t made his mind up yet, but I believe taking Dakota Lee to Darwin is on the cards. “She could probably hold herself well in the Palmerston. Family Ties ($7.50), who suffered a narrow loss two weeks ago after a spell, will feature over 1100m (0-64) and Altar Boy, victorious by 6.5 lengths in his second NT start a fortnight ago, lines up over 1400m (0-64) on Sunday. Altar Boy ($1.65 fav) was formerly trained in Townsville by Sarah Acornley, the wife of former Darwin jockey Carl Spry, a current jockey and former trainer in Townsville. Maid Of Mystery ($4.20 fav) makes her Alice Springs debut in a 1400m maiden and will jump from the outside gate in the 12-horse field. The four-year-old mare arrives from the stable of Ken and Kasey Keys in Victoria with her best performance from four starts, a third over 1600m at Cranbourne. Horse racing news View the full article

By Jonny Turner Losing one of her best drives may not spoil Kerryn Tomlinson’s day at Ascot Park on Saturday. Tomlinson will be unable to reunite with Dont Ask with the trotter retired and scratched from race 8. The junior driver recently formed a great combination with the mare, trained by Alister Black. “She would be one of the best trotters I have driven regularly down here,” Tomlinson said. “She had great manners and good speed, she was a lovely mare to drive.” Tomlinson isn’t lacking horsepower to work with on Saturday, with the Oamaru reinswoman teaming up with the unbeaten Southside Of Heaven. The mare will be out to make it four from four for trainer Brent McIntyre in race 9, the All Purpose Engineering/Regent Car Court Mobile Pace. Starting from barrier 8 won’t be easy for the pair, but Tomlinson is hopeful her charge has the class to overcome the outside of the front line. “She has to be a very good chance, she has shown she can do work in her races and finish off.” “She looks very versatile, so hopefully she can work into it from the wide draw.” “We should have a few options, we can choose when we want to get into it.” Night Watch looks a solid eachway hope for Tomlinson in race 6, the Stirling Auto Repairs/Regent Car Court Handicap Trot. Though the junior driver would prefer her mare was off the front line, her 15m handicap looks workable. “She looks a good eachway chance.” “She does prefer to be off the front because she is a good beginner and she likes to bowl along in front.” “Hopefully she can still step away fast and get handy enough.” Sargent Best looks another solid eachway hope for Tomlinson on Saturday. The pacer comes into race 5, the Autosure Handicap Pace, on the back of a consistent run of form for trainer Matthew Williamson. “He hasn’t had a stand for a while but knowing Matty, he will have given him plenty of practice.” “If he can step away and stay handy he should be a pretty good chance, he’s in good form.” Tomlinson also combines with Durrant in race 7, the Final Touch/Regent Car Court Mobile Pace, and has also been reasonably consistent recently. “He hasn’t got the best draw (11) but he has been racing pretty well and he was unlucky last start.” Tomlinson and Shezza Vinny have been handed an even tougher draw in race 3, the Creation Signs Mobile Pace, with the pair set to start from barrier 14.

OCALA, FL – The Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's June Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training got a late boost from its supplemental section when a colt by Uncle Mo brought the top price of $375,000 during Friday's final session of the three-day auction. The 2024 June sale concluded with numbers just a tick off the sale's 2023 renewal. A total of 587 head grossed $21,428,800 during the three-day auction, with the average of $36,506 down 3.3% from last year's figure and the median down 5% at $20,000. Ramon Morales purchased Friday's session topper–and the sale's third highest-priced juvenile–on behalf of Marc Tacher from Julie Davies's consignment. Earlier in Friday's session, the Green family's D. J. Stable went to $325,000 to acquire a colt by Justify from the de Meric Sales consignment. The colt was one of five juveniles purchased by the operation at the June sale. “I think there are good spots and there are soft spots,” Jon Green said of the market this week in Ocala. “That's the way it's been for all of these auctions over the last couple of years. We are kind of waiting and picking our spots to aggressively bid on the top ones we like. At this sale, we probably have a strike rate of 33%, which means we are getting outbid on two out of every three horses that we like. So there is definitely a strong market in pockets and I think if you bring a nice horse to any of these auctions, you are going to get rewarded for it.” As the juvenile sales season in Ocala concluded, Greg Martin of Britton Peak said he was happy with his consignment's results this spring. “Personally, it went well,” Martin said. “I was very happy with the results all through the sales, March, April and June. It's like every sale, you bring quality and people are going to pay. For horses who work well and vet well–there are so many hoops you have to jump through–but at the end of the day, if you get past that last hurdle, people pay. You have to bring the right pedigree, you have to bring the right animal. But it's like anything else, if you bring the product, people will pay for it.” Britton Peak sold all six through the ring at the three-day June sale, led by a $250,000 daughter of Munnings. The consignment also sold a colt by Tiz the Law for $500,000 at the OBS Spring sale. Looking ahead to the yearling sales, Martin said he plans to repeat the formula which has worked for him in the past. “I am going to stick with what I've been successful with,” he said. “If the right horses are there, people are on them. People are sharp. Once in a while, you will find a diamond in the rough, but most likely, you are going to have to pay. I am going to be cautious, I always am, and I will manage the risk.” Marc Tacher | Photos by Z Tacher Strikes Late for Uncle Mo Colt With just a few hips left in the OBS June sale Friday, trainer Ramon Morales bid $375,000 to acquire a colt by Uncle Mo (hip 1021) on behalf of Marc Tacher. “Marc came last week and saw the horse and he loved him,” Morales said. “We waited for him and are happy to get him.” Consigned by Julie Davies, the bay is out of stakes winner Kim K (Will Take Charge), a daughter of multiple stakes winner Trip for A.J. (Trippi). He was purchased by 3 Friends for $185,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale and, supplemented to the June sale, galloped during last week's under-tack show. Tacher's Sonata Stable enjoyed a runner-up effort with Arzak (Not This Time) last weekend at Saratoga in the GI Jaipur S. He purchased the 6-year-old for $575,000 from Julie Davies's consignment at the 2020 OBS Spring sale. Justify Colt Joins D.J. Stable A colt by Justify (hip 768) will be carrying the colors of the Green family's D.J. Stable and Robert Cotran after selling for $325,000 early in Friday's final session of the OBS June sale. The juvenile is out of Intentonseduction (Street Sense), who is a daughter of Giant Mover (Giant's Causeway) and is a half-sister to graded winners Family Tree (Smart Strike) and Liora (Candy Ride {Arg}). Liora was second in the 2018 GI Kentucky Oaks and Family Tree's son Heroic Move won the recent GIII Steve Sexton Mile. Justify | Sarah Andrew “When you are coming to any of these 2-year-old sales, you are looking for a couple of things,” Jon Green said. “One is pedigree, the other is longevity as far as, is the horse going to run two turns. Certainly, this Justify colt checked both of those boxes. The horse is going to go to Joe Orseno, who has Hades for us and a number of other horses. He was not only the top horse on his list, but also on top of Mark Casse's list as well. We were happy to get him for the price we did.” West Bloodstock purchased the colt for $45,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale. He was consigned by De Meric Sales. “One of the strengths of the OBS June sale is that it gives horses that have a little bit of a problem or hit a bump in the road or have a stumble on the way, it gives them an opportunity to show what they can do without being pressed to try to do it earlier than they are ready,” Green said. “This colt is a big, two-turn kind of horse and he would have not done as well, in my estimation, in March or April. He did have a couple of hiccups. He's over that and he looks like he will be able to go forward with us now as the races get longer.” D.J. Stable joined with Gary Barber a few hips later to acquire a filly by Maclean's Music (hip 783) for $250,000, also from the de Meric Sales consignment.

German Derby hero Kamsin (Ger) (Samum {Ger}) has died at the age of 19, Jour de Galop reported on Friday. A resident of Haras de la Baie in 2024, the dual purpose stallion stood for €2,500 this year. “We found the stallion dead in his box in the morning,” said stud representative Andre-Jean Belloir to the JDG. “At night, he ate his ration and everything seemed normal.” Bred by Gestut Karlshof, the half- or full-sibling to four black-type horses raced in the colours of Stall Blankenese and was trained by Peter Schiergen. Placed in one start at two, he won his maiden by nine lengths first out at Krefeld in March of 2008, before taking the G3 Fruhjahrspreis des Bankhaus Metzler in May. After his G1 Deutsches Derby victory two starts later, he ran second–promoted to first–in the G1 Rheinland-Pokal der Sparkass that August and added the G1 Grosser Preis von Baden in September. Unplaced in the 2008 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, he opened 2009 with a victory in the G2 Gerling-Preis. Retired with a mark of 13-6-1-0, and earnings of $996,940, the son of group winner Kapitol (Ger) (Winged Love {Ire}) stood in Germany beginning in 2011 before spending 2017-2020 in France. After three seasons at Annshoon Stud in Ireland (2021-2023), he returned to France for 2024. Group winners Nica (Ger), Ladykiller (Ger), and Lips Queen (Ger) feature among his six Flat stakes winners. Over jumps, Kamsin has sired On The Go (Fr), the winner of the 2018 G1 Grand Steeplechase de Paris, as well as Imbatable Du Seuil (Fr), Nosferatu (Fr), and Libeccio (Fr).

The G2 Sandy Lane S. hero, who races for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum, has won half of his four starts. He was a solid sixth in the G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas in May, prior to his Sandy Lane victory. “He is in good form,” said Ryan. “He runs in the Commonwealth Cup.” The colt will square off with dual Group 1 winner and Sandy Lane third Vandeek (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) on June 21.
