1st-Santa Anita, $54,000, Msw, 5-18, 3, 4,/5yo, f/m, 1m, 1:39.78, ft, 4 1/2 lengths. MISS ROCKETTE (f, 3, Into Mischief–Song of Spring {GSW, $234,403}, by Spring At Last) was sent to her owner's home track at Oaklawn Park as the 4-5 chalk for her 8 1/2-furlong debut Apr. 20 and she looked on her way to an easy victory only to be run down by the slow-starting Flashy Dancer (Curlin) in a 'TDN Rising Star'-worthy performance. Content to take the trail from third as chief market rival Ms Bo J (Mitole) set the pace off the inside, the $1.25-million KEESEP purchase traveled strongly in hand on the turn as the pace dropped away. Eased into the two path to challenge in earnest at the top of the lane, Miss Rockette rolled to the front and pulled away to score unextended, then galloped out with good energy. Miss Rockette is the first foal out of 2018 GIII Allaire duPont Distaff winner Song of Spring and hails from the family of MGISW Dream Rush (Wild Rush), the dam of GISW Dreaming of Julia (A.P. Indy) and granddam of champion Malathaat (Curlin); MGSW Dream Pauline (Tapit) and SW Atreides (Medaglia d'Oro). Song of Spring is also represented by the 2-year-old colt Spring Dream (Vino Rosso), a yearling colt by City of Light and was most recently bred to Into Mischief.

Alice Springs apprentice Lek Maloney with his parents Andrew, chairman of the Alice Springs Turf Club, and Rose after winning the Tennant Creek Cup (1600m) on Barocco Bar, owned by his father, for Red Centre trainer Dan Morgan. It was in early April when apprentice Lek Maloney was dislodged from his mount Barocco Bar during the Alice Springs Turf Club’s Cup Carnival at Pioneer Park. The 20-year-old escaped injury, and on Saturday he teamed up with the Dan Morgan-trained four-year-old gelding to win the $30,000 Tennant Creek Cup (1600m). For Maloney, it was the biggest of his 25 career wins since debuting in October 2022. Parents, Andrew and Rose were trackside as Lek guided Barocco Bar, a $12 hope with the top online bookmakers to win by half a length over Command King with Great Buy close in third. “We’re so happy for Lek, it’s just so exciting – the highs and lows of racing following his mishap on Barocco Bar in Alice,” Andrew said. In 15 starts for Morgan, the son of Epaulette boasts four wins and four minor placings, and it was following a discussion with owner Andrew Maloney that the Tennant Creek trip eventuated. “He ran a really nice race a couple of starts back and Andrew’s first words to me were the Tennant Creek Cup,” Morgan, who didn’t make the trip to Hagan Park, said. “In my opinion, today was his best win – he was terrific, he was tenacious and gave his all. “The plan was to get him close to the speed so he could utilise his strengths on the testing sand surface. “He’s a tough horse when he’s on song, he can also show good early pace and really stick to his task. “Lek rode him an absolute treat and I couldn’t be more proud of them both, that’s my first Country Cup. “Special mention to my strapper Jess Denton, who took Barocco Bar to Tennant Creek so I could attend to the team here at home.” Fellow Alice Springs apprentice Dakota Gillett ended the day with a winning treble aboard Protostar ($2.30 fav) and Brat ($1.90 fav) for her father and trainer Terry, as well as She’s Tuff Enuff ($4.40) for trainer Paul Gardner. Brat, a five-year-old gelding by Reward For Effort, made it seven wins from 22 starts for the Gillett’s by taking out the Denis Staunton Memorial Cup (1200m) – the other feature on the program – by 6.4 lengths. Protostar decimated his rivals over 1200m (Class 2) by 11.7 lengths. Gardner finished with a double when She’s Tuff Enuff narrowly won the 1000m maiden before $26 outsider Hey Bull (Paul Denton) won his first race for the stable when he won over 1450m (0-64) by 8.6 lengths. Gardner (21) has extended his lead in the Alice Springs and Provincial trainers’ premiership from Kerry Petrick (18.5) and Gillett (18). Denton (20) is ahead of Jessie Philpot (15) and Gillett (15) in the jockeys’ premiership. Top End trainer Phil Cole and Red Centre jockey Ianish Luximon combined as Plague Stone ($5) saluted by 1.6 lengths over 1100m (BM54). Horse racing news View the full article

A Grade I-winning juvenile in her younger years, Leave No Trace (f, 4, Outwork–Tanquerray, by Good Journey) collared the frontrunner and held off all comers in the lane to pick up her second consecutive victory in her 2024 season, this time in the GIII Vagrancy S. Stalking Beguine (Gun Runner) as :22.24 and :44.72 splits sailed by, Jose Lezcano called on his charge for more in the lane and she responded, collaring Beguine entering the final furlong. MSW & GISP Big Pond (Mr. Big) looked to be making a menacing effort in the late stages, but her rally fell short in the end. MSW Hot Fudge (Liam's Map) closed the trifecta. The final time was 1:15.91.

Corporate Power (c, 3, Curlin–Road to Victory, by Quality Road) survived a stewards' inquiry as well as a jockey's objection to win the Sir Barton S. The eventual winner spent the lion's portion of the race to the outside of his rivals, and had briefly joined the scramble for the front entering the far bend. Losing ground with that wide trip, but still never far from Gould's Gold (Goldencents) as the race unfolded in front of him, Corporate Power had work to do entering the stretch as rivals stacked in front of him. Grinding relentlessly, he found another kick late in the lane as Imperial Gun (Gun Runner) joined the scramble for the wire, finishing between the top two after making contact briefly with the winner. The subsequent inquiry and disallowed jockey's objection made no change to the finish. #5 CORPORATE POWER ($5.20) gets up for the victory in the Sir Barton Stakes at Pimlico with @jjcjockey in the irons for trainer Shug McGaughey.

Impressive on debut at Kempton earlier this month, Michelle Morris and Jan and Peter Hopper's homebred Kind Of Blue (GB) (Blue Point {Ire}–Blues Sister {GB}, by Compton Place {GB}) defied a penalty to earn TDN Rising Star status at Doncaster on Saturday evening. Keen early under Danny Muscutt's restraint behind the leader Ananda (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the card's six-furlong novice won in 2018 by future sprinting bigwig Equilateral (GB) (Equiano {Fr}), the 11-4 second favourite was the only one able to live with that 2-1 market leader. Arriving at his side a furlong out, the James Fanshawe-trained G1 Commonwealth Cup entry swamped him from there for an emphatic 2 1/2-length success. Kind Of Blue's unraced dam, whose 2-year-old colt by Starspangledbanner (Aus) was a 170,000gns purchase by Tony Head at the recent Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up, is as her name suggests a full-sibling of the stable's G2 British Champions Sprint S. hero Deacon Blues (GB). She is also a half to another who captured that prize for the stable, this time after it had been promoted to group 1 status, in the former Pegasus Stables' stalwart The Tin Man (GB) (Equiano {Fr}). He also annexed the G1 Diamond Jubilee S. and G1 Haydock Sprint Cup and like all the family progressed markedly with age and experience.

D J Stable and Robert Cotran's Hades (Awesome Slew) is recovering from a small setback, but is being programmed for a pair of starts at Monmouth Park over the coming months, including the GI NYRA Bets Haskell S. July 20. Upset winner of the GIII Holy Bull S., defeating Domestic Product (Practical Joke) and champion Fierceness (City of Light), Hades was a well-beaten fifth in the GI Curlin Florida Derby and was last seen finishing seventh in the GIII Stonestreet Lexington S. at Keeneland Apr. 13. “We found he had a little minor problem that we had to correct and give him a little time. I'd like to be in the Preakness but we're doing the right thing,” said trainer Joe Orseno, who won the second leg of the Triple Crown back in 2000 with Red Bullet (Unbridled). If all goes according to plan, Hades would contest the Listed Pegasus S. June 15 and a positive outcome there could lead to a star in the Haskell five weeks later, with the GI Travers S. a longer-term possibility. “I'm getting him ready for the prep to the Haskell and if he handles that there's a chance he'll show up at Saratoga,” Orseno said.

Godolphin's Diamond Rain (GB) (Shamardal–Dancing Rain {Ire}, by Danehill Dancer {Ire}), unraced as a juvenile, opened up with a narrow victory going just under a mile at Ascot in her May 1 debut last time and stepped forward to lay down a Classic marker in Saturday's Haras de Bouquetot Fillies' Trial S. at Newbury. The G1 Juddmonte Irish Oaks entry accepted a tow in second for most of this 10-furlong contest. Looming large in the straight, the 3-1 joint-second favourite eased to the front passing the quarter-mile marker and quickened clear under urging inside the final furlong to defeat 'TDN Rising Star' Ejaabiyah (GB) (Frankel {GB}) by an impressive 2 1/4 lengths for a career high. “It was a slightly messy race, but it was a lovely performance,” said William Buick. “I was prepared to let her bowl along in front, but she did get a lead which was nice and she stepped up on her debut. This is more her trip I think and she's coming forward all the time. She doesn't feel like she's anywhere near the finished article yet. She's very straightforward and Charlie [Appleby] has been very pleased since Ascot. She's got a few options open for her now.” Reflecting on the performance of runner-up Ejaabiyah, Roger Varian commented, “She ran a lovely race. She's a lovely filly who's still a bit green and she took her time to come to hand this spring. The winner looked nice and I think it was a strong little field of fillies. Our filly has shown up well, we're really pleased with her and she will improve from today.” Diamond Rain, who becomes the 171st black-type winner for her sire, is a daughter of G1 Oaks and G1 German Oaks heroine Dancing Rain (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) and thus a half-sister to dual Group 2-winning G1 Jebel Hatta runner-up and G1 Fillies' Mile third Magic Lily (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) and stakes-winning G1 Grand Prix de Paris placegetter Jalmoud (GB) (New Approach {Ire}). Dancing Rain is a three-parts sister to Sumora (Ire) (Danehill), who is the dam of G1 Moyglare Stud S. victrix Maybe (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Maybe, in turn, produced G1 2000 Guineas and G1 Futurity Trophy hero Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and hails from the immediate family of G1 Derby-winning sire Dr Devious (Ire) (Ahonoora {GB}), G1 Irish Oaks heroine Even So (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) and G3 Greenlands S.-winning sire Archway (Ire) (Thatching {Ire}).

Naas stage some potentially key Royal Ascot pointers on Sunday, with the feature G3 Goffs Lacken S. seeing the reintroduction of AMO Racing and Giselle De Aguiar's G1 Phoenix S. and G2 Railway S. winner Bucanero Fuerte (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). Failing to see out the seventh furlong of the G1 Vincent O'Brien National S. when last seen at The Curragh in September, he faces last year's G3 Marble Hill S. winner Givemethebeatboys (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) who has a race under his belt having won Navan's Listed Committed S. last month. In the card's G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint S., a fascinating pre-Ascot clash awaits as Moyglare's Sparkling Sea (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) bids to confirm of her course-and-distance defeat of Ballydoyle's Fairy Godmother (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire), with Alpha Racing's four-length Curragh Median Sires Series Maiden winner Barnavara (Ire) (Calyx {GB}) also in the mix. The latter hails from the Jessica Harrington stable successful in this in 2017 with Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), while the last two winners were Meditate (Ire) (No Nay Never) and Porta Fortuna (Ire) (Caravaggio) so it pays to take note of this early juvenile staging post.

'TDN Rising Star' Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) returned to the worktab for the first time since his bang-up second to Mystik Dan (Goldencents) in the GI Kentucky Derby, breezing a half-mile in the company of his GIII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby-winning stablemate Domestic Product (Practical Joke) in :48.20 (3/31) over the Oklahoma training track at Saratoga. With light rain falling, the pair galloped out six furlongs in 1:14 4/5, according to trainer Chad Brown. “I thought the horse worked super,” Brown said of Sierra Leone, who was once again equipped with the blinkers for the move. “I'm very, very pleased with him. He's settled into Saratoga nicely.” Off as the 9-2 second favorite in the Derby, the $2.3-million Fasig-Tipton Saratoga topper sustained a long run from the rear and locked up with Japan's Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) for the stretch drive. The two exchanged bumps repeatedly and Sierra Leone, who drifted in several paths, was just up for second in a tight three-way photo. Brown holds no concerns about Sierra Leone's antics going forward. “I think he was just getting a bit tired in the stretch and those two horses were leaning on each other,” said Brown. “I'm turning the page on that. It's just part of him.” The conditioner is giving Domestic Product a pass for his 13th at Churchill Downs, as he threw a shoe and grabbed a quarter. While Sierra Leone is on target for the June 8 GI Belmont S. at the Spa, Domestic Product is not under consideration for the 10-furlong test, though he has healed up well, Brown said. Also on the tab for Brown were Program Trading (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) and I'm Very Busy (Maclean's Music), first and seventh home, respectively, in the GI Old Forester Turf Classic on the Derby undercard. The two went a half-mile in company in :49 flat (9/31) Saturday morning and each has the GI Resorts World Casino Manhattan S. on the Belmont undercard as their next target, and Brown is also willing to excuse I'm Very Busy's effort. “I'm Very Busy didn't handle the paddock well on Derby Day and he was not acting right,” the trainer said. “He stuck his foot in the hind portion of the gate and that race is a total throw-out for him.” Also headed for Belmont Day engagements are 'TDN Rising Star' Blazing Sevens (Good Magic), who went four furlongs in :49 flat (47/186) at Belmont ahead of the GI Hill 'n' Dale Metropolitan H; and the GI Acorn S.-bound Regulatory Risk (Omaha Beach), who galloped a half-mile in :49.52 (81/186) over the Belmont training track Saturday morning. In other Met-related news, White Abarrio (Race Day) breezed a half-mile in :47.58 (1/90) at Belmont Friday morning. Third in last year's renewal, the 5-year-old would be making his first start since finishing a disappointing 10th in the G1 Saudi Cup in February. Brown added that Resolute Racing's 'TDN Rising Star' Sweet Rebecca (American Pharoah) would work Sunday and a decision on a possible appearance in the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot would likely be made the following day.

Capitalizing on his characteristic quick turn of foot and a rocket ship out of the gate, Frost Free (c, 3, Frosted–D J's Favorite, by Union Rags) took to the lead and never looked back to claim his first black-type win in the GIII Chick Lang S. With the poor start of Mr Skylight (Practical Joke), Frost Free was able to step out and have the pace his own way, putting up :23.24 and :46.66 fractions before rolling into the lane still in command. The grey started his career at Lone Star with Danny Pish before moving over to Oaklawn Park and Brett Creighton. He'd most recently hit the board in the Bachelor S. Apr. 27. Cats by Five (Audible) gave chase but could only manage second despite the winner drifting around late. Mr Skylight got up for third. “Irad Ortiz just chillin' on Frost Free.” – @DaveRodman #6 FROST FREE ($5.60) and @iradortiz run away with the G3 Chick Lang Stakes at Pimlico for trainer Brett Creighton.

Guy Heald homebred Fast Tracker (GB) (Churchill {Ire}), who is two-for-two after taking the Listed Prix de Suresnes at Chantilly at the beginning of the month, has been sold to Wathnan Racing, Jour de Galop reported. Formerly trained by Henri-Alex Pantall, the chestnut holds entries in the G3 Prix Hocquart, the G1 Qatar Prix du Jockey Club, and the G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The deal was facilitated by Richard Brown of Blandford Bloodstock. “He was very impressive during his last race and is on an upward trajectory,” Brown told the French publication. “Guy Heald is a commercial breeder and has been a true gentleman during this process. Finding this type of Classic prospect is difficult.” Out of the unraced Emma Knows (Ire) (Anabaa), the colt is a half-brother to the Prix de Suresnes second My Scholar (Fr) (Pour Moi {Ire}), while his dam is a half-sister to two black-type horses led by the dual Group 3-placed King Of Camelot (Fr) (Camelot {GB}). G1 Australian Cup winner Fifty Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) is under the third dam.

As expected, Cheveley Park Stud's colours were in the winner's enclosure following Newbury's G1 Al Shaqab Lockinge S. on Saturday but it was aboard the Gosdens' 22-1 shot Audience (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}–Ladyship {GB}, by Oasis Dream {GB}) who uber-excelled in his task of pacemaking for Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}). Labelled a TDN Rising Star at two, the homebred grandson of the Thompsons' 2006 Lockinge heroine Peeress (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) had shown what he could do when left alone on the lead with ample space to express himself in last year's G3 Criterion S. at Newmarket, but on the whole on the formbook was a shade below the best here. Relishing being untethered by Robert Havlin, the 5-year-old had cracked every rival bar Charyn (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) heading to the furlong pole and not long after he had drawn any sting remaining from that rival en route to an emphatic 1 3/4-length success, with Witch Hunter (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) 6 1/2 lengths away in third. Inspiral, the 2-1 favourite, was a well-beaten fourth while Big Rock (Fr) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}) was only sixth having stumbled leaving the stalls and having tried to lay up too close to the killer pace.
