Overlooked at 6-1, he forced the issue from an outside second through early fractions of :23.26 and :46.53. He turned up the heat on the far turn, kicked for home as the one to catch and had 6 1/4 lengths over favored Military Road (Quality Road) at the wire.

Blazing a trail from the bell, it was Night Beacon (Spun to Run–Stormandaprayer, by Songandaprayer) who went gate to wire and handed his first-crop sire his inaugural winner at the 'Great RIP' on Friday afternoon. Off as the 4-5 choice, the bay filly was swift early and established an ever-widening lead before the far turn. With the field in pursuit, the 2-year-old geared down in the final furlong and won by three lengths over So There She Was (Munnings). The final running time was :52.30. Gainesway's sire (by Hard Spun), who won the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita, has 89 foals of racing age to his credit. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. Sales History: $45,000 '23 KEEJAN.

5th-Churchill Downs, $121,125, Msw, 5-10, 3yo/up, 1 1/8mT, 1:50.43, fm, 4 lengths. WEST HOLLYWOOD (c, 3, Uncle Mo–White Hot {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) began his career in Roger Varian's yard where he debuted in fourth place over the Polytrack at Kempton Park in early January. Making the switch stateside to Brad Cox, the dark bay with Lasix was a 7-2 shot here. The 3-year-old broke quickly and settled in behind the pacesetter heading into the first turn. Raring to take on the frontrunner, the colt was let loose around the far turn and sported some strong turn of foot down the lane, despite bumping briefly with the leader. In the end, West Hollywood spurted away to win by lengths over Fort Thomas (War Front). The winner is a half-brother to Pizza Bianca (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), GISW-USA, GISP-Can, $792,947, who was purchased last fall at the Fasig-Tipton Mixed Sale for $3 million by John Stewart. Unraced White Hot is also responsible for 2-year-old colt Spanning Time (Not This Time) and she foaled a colt by Into Mischief Feb. 27.

Kenny McPeek's final decision on GI Kentucky Derby-winner Mystik Dan (Goldencents)'s Preakness appearance should come Saturday after training at Churchill Downs and post-discussion with the owners. The Derby hero went through a second day of galloping beneath the Twin Spires Friday morning under Robby Albarado and will likely pick up the pace Saturday morning. Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. will have other mounts Preakness weekend and will be riding at Pimlico regardless of the final choice. “Another steady day, another good day. Robby was happy. [Mystik Dan] ate up. We'll discuss it in depth tomorrow [Saturday],” said McPeek. “We usually walk Sundays. When I say more, just a nice gallop, maybe let him stretch a little down the lane. Nothing complicated. Only what he wants to do.” Albarado said, “Every day is a progression for [Mystik Dan]. He'll get back in his rhythm soon. He's so easy to predict. I knew after the first day that the second day's better, the third day. He felt really good. All his leads were on point. He enjoyed being out there.” The post McPeek to Make Preakness Decision for Mystik Dan Saturday appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The in-form Namur (Jpn) (Harbinger {GB}) faces only 14 foes in the G1 Victoria Mile at Tokyo on Sunday, a “Win And You're In” qualifier for the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Del Mar in November. There won't be any safety nets for her rivals either, as the Carrot Farm runner has been extremely consistent of late, taking last October's G2 Fuji S. over her pet distance before showing her heels in open company in Kyoto's G1 Mile Championship a month later. A solid third to impressive yardstick Golden Sixty (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro) in the G1 Hong Kong Mile during the Hong Kong International Races in December, the now-5-year-old was only a desperate bob behind Facteur Cheval (Ire) (Ribchester {Ire}) when second in the G1 Dubai Turf over 1800 metres at Meydan on Mar. 30. Trainer Tomokazu Takano said, “Finishing second in the Dubai Turf was frustrating, but the race itself reminded me of her high potential and sense of presence. Her performance left no room for complaint whatsoever. I could feel from early on that this horse had a lot to offer, and everything has happened as I'd anticipated–the way she gains strength, the good condition when she goes into a race, thinking that if she would run at her own rhythm, she would be highly competitive in a Group 1. “After returning to Japan and going through quarantine, she really had only the shortest number of days permitted (10) to train at the training center. I think she'll go to the gate in good shape.” The progressive Masked Diva (Jpn) (Rulership {Jpn}) is second choice in the markets so far, behind her rival, but has been knocking on the door of top company. A 4-year-old Shadai Race Horse representative, the filly won a Group 2 last September, before running superfilly Liberty Island (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}) to a length in the G1 Shuka Sho (Japanese Fillies' St Leger), as that distaff luminary completed the Japanese Triple Tiara. Unplaced in the G3 Tokyo Shimbun Hai in February, Masked Diva was back in the winner's circle after bulling her way through a tight spot in the G2 Hanshin Himba S. and fending off the menacing late charge of 2023 G1 NHK Mile Cup second Umbrail (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}) with Moryana (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}) third in early April. Trainer Yasuyuki Tsujino said, “From the start of this year, she has continued to mature. She's well filled out, looking sharp and I think she's very near to her peak condition. Being a Group 1, the pace and the way the race unfolds is going to make for some tight running. I think it would be ideal if the race were to be just like her last one. It all comes down to whether she can break sharply.” The other Group 1 winner in the field is Stunning Rose (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}), who took the 2022 edition of the Shuka Sho, but has been winless since. However, the Sunday Racing runner ran eighth in the G1 Osaka Hai on Mar. 31 versus males and was not beaten far. “It [the Osaka Hai] wasn't a big loss and I do think she showed her ability,” said Takano, who also trains Namur. “Last week, the jockey rode work and the emphasis was on the last furlong. With her last race as a sharpener, she showed improvement and is looking good physically and mentally. She should show ample improvement. I can't say a mile suits her best, but I think she will do well at the wide-open Tokyo venue and this time it's up against fillies and mares only. If she carries herself well-balanced and runs at her own rhythm, she should do fine.” The post Namur Razor Sharp For Victoria Mile appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Each slated for a tilt in Preakness 149 May 18, MGISW Muth (Good Magic) and GSW & GISP Imagination (Into Mischief) worked six furlongs in company Friday morning at Santa Anita. Officially clocked in 1:11.90, Bob Baffert liked what he saw from the pair and mentioned he was still deciding if any other horses would join his Preakness hopefuls on the trip over to Pimlico, but that he'd wait until entry day to make a final decision. “[Muth and Imagination] looked good. They stayed together like last week. It was a nice, workmanlike work. I was happy with it.” Said move May 4 was clocked in 1:11.40 and the co-fastest of five on the morning. Muth comes into the GI Preakness S. off a victory in the GI Arkansas Derby and was the 7-2 favorite for the second jewel in last weekend's Preakness Stakes Future Wager while Imagination closed at 17-1. The latter was beaten a neck in the GI Santa Anita Derby by GI Kentucky Derby-seventh GISW Stronghold (Ghostzapper). The post position draw for the Preakness is Monday, May 13 at 2:30 p.m. The post Muth, Imagination Have Final Preakness Works appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Last year's champion 3-year-old colt Arcangelo (Arrogate) captured the GIII Peter Pan S. before adding top-level victories in the GI Belmont S. and the GI Travers S. A scratched-down field of six is expected to line up for Saturday's renewal of the Peter Pan at Aqueduct, which serves as the local prep for the final leg of the Triple Crown, which will be held at Saratoga and run at 1 1/4 miles June 8. 'TDN Rising Star' Deterministic (Liam's Map), a fantastic winner of the one-turn mile GIII Gotham S. Mar. 2 while making his first start since an eye-catching debut victory at Saratoga last summer, will look to make amends for a head-scratching eighth as the 4-5 favorite in the GII Wood Memorial S. Apr. 6. “We were a little bit puzzled,” said Christophe Clement, who saddled Tonalist (Tapit) to wins in the 2014 Peter Pan and Belmont. “We did all sorts of tests. He came back and he's trained well. Saturday's work was a spectacular work. He's had three works since the Wood.” The Wine Steward (Vino Rosso), a game second in the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland last fall, kicked off his sophomore season with a second-place finish in the GIII Stonestreet Lexington S. Apr. 13. Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher will be represented by Antiquarian (Preservationist), sixth in the GII Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby Mar. 23; and the maiden of three starts Protective (Medaglia d'Oro), a longshot third after early trouble in the Wood Memorial. MyRacehorse's Straight No Chaser (Speightster), a smashing winner of last spring's GIII Maryland Sprint S., will make his highly anticipated return on the undercard in the GIII Runhappy S. Trained by Juan Landeros, assistant to conditioner Dan Blacker who is currently serving a suspension, he's been working bullets at Santa Anita for his return, including a five-furlong move in :59 1/5 (1/40) Apr. 27. “We're just trying to map out the best plan for him with a goal to make a run at the Breeders' Cup Sprint this year,” said Joe Moran, Racing Manager of MyRacehorse. “That was our goal last year and his campaign got cut short. He seems fit and ready. We're expecting a pretty good effort off the layoff.” For more on Straight No Chaser's time away from the races, click here for a recent interview with Blacker. Saturday's 11-race program at the Big A also includes the GII Man O' War S., featuring MGISW Nations Pride (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}); and the GIII Beaugay S.

According to Matt Muzikar, the agent for Tyler Gaffalione, the Churchill Downs stewards met with his rider on Thursday, but took no action against him for his ride aboard Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) in the GI Kentucky Derby. Muzikar declined to comment on the ruling and said that Gaffalione has also decided to not comment on the incident. Sierra Leone bumped several times with the Japanese colt Forever Young (JPN) (Real Steel {JPN) in the stretch run as Gaffalione was unable to keep his mount from lugging in. Considering that there was only a nose separating the two at the wire, many believed that Sierra Leone could have been disqualified and placed third. However, the stewards failed to launch an inquiry and Ryusei Sakai, the rider of Forever Young did not claim foul. It has been reported that jockeys in Japan rarely place objections, believing that if there is an infraction in a race it will be caught by the stewards. “He wanted to lean in today and made it a little difficult,” Gaffalione said following the Derby. “I had a hard time keeping him straight and that definitely cost us. He gives you everything, very responsive but he loses concentration.” The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission issued a statement early in the week regarding the stretch run and the bumping. “The stewards review every race in Kentucky live and by video replay before posting it official and they followed the same procedure for the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby,” it read. “After conducting their standard review of the race, determining no further review or investigation was necessary to conclude there were no incidents that altered the finish of the race, and seeing there were no objections filed, the stewards posted the Kentucky Derby official.” The post Churchill Stewards Hold Gaffalione Blameless for Ride on Sierra Leone appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Judy Hicks will be the first to say that it's not the fanciest farm in Kentucky. The fences are not painted and the lawns are not perfectly manicured. But there is good soil at Brookstown Farm and there is plenty of it, enough to where no more than six of the 100 mares who reside there ever share the same pasture. Hicks and her husband R.W. purchased the 600-acre property located just outside of Versailles in 1983 and since then, R.W. has been meticulous in fertilizing and re-seeding the pastures to ensure that the foals raised at Brookstown have the very best of the Bluegrass. It's an idyllic place to raise a Thoroughbred. And it's now the birthplace of a Kentucky Oaks winner. Hicks, the breeder of Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna), liked the filly so well that she stayed in for a piece after Kenny McPeek bought the filly as a yearling for $40,000. She joined the partnership of Brookdale Racing, Mark Edwards, and Magdalena Racing. Last Friday was, to put it mildly, a day that Hicks will never forget as Thorpedo Anna took the lead early and never looked back to win the Kentucky Oaks. There was plenty of celebration and fanfare that evening, but by Saturday morning it was back to business as usual at Brookstown Farm. “I had to take a mare to the breeding shed, so it was sort of like the reality hadn't sunk in yet even though I'm getting texts and phone calls and interviews and all this hurrah,” Hicks explained. Even by Wednesday, after she returned from yet another early morning trip to the breeding shed and sat down on her porch overlooking her farm's sprawling pastures to reflect on the weekend, Hicks was still at a loss for words. “It has been surreal,” she said. “I know it's a huge, huge deal and I am very excited.” Judy and R.J. Hicks with Brookstown Farm mascot Smoke | Sara Gordon Getting Off the Ground Growing up in California, Hicks always believed that she was destined to be a veterinarian. The animal lover went to California Polytechnic State University for undergrad and then started vet school at Texas A&M. A few months in, she realized the job was not for her when she came in one morning to find that the dog that had lived in one of the experimental cages had been reduced to various samples in jars and test tubes. She moved on to an internship in Kentucky at Forest Retreat Farm and while she was there, she met Cecil Horne and Dr. Donald Applegate. They were looking for a farm manager for their Mint Springs Farm and Hicks quickly accepted the position. “I started at the bottom of the ladder grooming yearlings and went on to become a farm manager in a matter of a year,” Hicks recalled. It was at Mint Springs Farm that Hicks met her husband, R.W. When the pair purchased Brookstown Farm, they knew they had a lot of hard work ahead of them. “It had nothing on it but a couple of old tobacco barns,” said Hicks. “It had no water, no electric, no fencing, no pavement. R.W. and I put in three miles of water line by ourselves, built every fence and started raising horses.” Hicks started out focusing on boarding horses, but when one client did not pay their bills, she bought her first horse for $6 on the courthouse steps. Phoenix Sunshine (Encino) was raised at Brookstown and went on to become a four-time stakes winner and then a successful broodmare. One of her daughters, Shining Victory (Victory Gallop), is the granddam of Grade I winner Newgate (Into Mischief) and Grade II victress Denim and Pearls (Into Mischief). Another one of Shining Victory's daughters produced My Majestic Rose (Majestic Warrior), who was one of the best fillies that Hicks campaigned herself. The homebred won the GII Summertime Oaks in 2019, but broke down in training shortly after. When Hicks had another client who would not pay their bills, she purchased Miss Pink Diva (Dunkirk) for $10. The filly was runner-up in the 2016 Locust Grove S., but broke down in her next start in the GI Spinster S. “So down at my pond there are two grave sites and they are growing some big, beautiful oak trees,” said Hicks. “I love the highs,” she added. “But I hate the lows because the lows are very low.” But as Hicks has learned, with every crossroad comes an opportunity, and sometimes a seemingly impossible situation can turn into a beautiful story. Sataves (center) accompanied by her 2024 Known Agenda filly and her 5-year-old daughter Charlee O | Sara Gordon The Mare Who Was Never Supposed to Live In January of 2015, a client's mare foaled an extremely premature filly by Uncle Mo. Hicks volunteered to take the feeble foal off the client's hands, not knowing if the youngster would even survive because her lungs were so underdeveloped that it was unclear if they could function properly. Luckily Sataves, the dam of Thorpedo Anna, did survive. While her fight to live in those early days affected her conformational development and prevented her from ever becoming a racehorse, she turned out to be a pretty good broodmare. “She took several years to grow up,” said Hicks. “She's got the body of Uncle Mo, but the legs of a pony. She is not very big, but it doesn't seem to change or affect the genes.” Sataves's first foal Charlee O (Tourist) was a $5,000 yearling RNA in 2020. Hicks retained the filly, who won on debut at Belmont at 30-1 odds and earned over $100,000. For Sataves's next mating, Hicks decided to send her to Fast Anna , who was standing at Three Chimneys for just $10,000. “I like to pick stallions on their physical,” Hicks explained. “I may use all the bookwork–the Goldmine, the TrueNicks–but that's just secondary. It was hard to think he would be a good physical for Sataves because Sataves is sort of out of whack [in her conformation]. But I thought she would cross very well with Fast Anna, a son of Medaglia d'Oro, and it worked.” Thorpedo Anna is from the final crop of Fast Anna, who succumbed to laminitis only a few days after Thorpedo Anna was foaled in late January. From her early days at Brookstown, the filly was a crackerjack. “She had a mind of her own,” Hicks explained. “She didn't want her feet trimmed. She didn't want to have vaccinations. She was pretty opinionated. She didn't get her way, so she did settle down after a while. My nightwatch person took her on and was very good with her. She calmed her down and made her behave.” From the handful of her own foals that Hicks produces every year, she aims to sell them all but oftentimes ends up retaining or at least staying in for a piece of some of them. Thankfully Charlee O and Thorpedo Anna were two fillies she decided to keep and she has also retained a piece of Sataves's third foal McAfee. The 2-year-old colt by Cloud Computing was bought for $40,000 by Maddie Mattmiller at the Keeneland September Sale. Last year Sataves's foal did not survive foaling due to a case of hydrops–a condition characterized by an over-accumulation of fluid in the placenta–but this year the mare produced a filly by Known Agenda. The foal arrived in the middle of March when threats of tornados and wind storms were popping up across Central Kentucky. One night the wind was howling and Hicks was fighting to keep the barn from flooding, but when the storm finally stopped, Sataves laid down and foaled. Hicks does not normally name her foals, but she decided to call this one After the Storm. Mother-daughter pair Sataves and Charlee O | Sara Gordon An Oaks to Remember The confidence McPeek had in his 'TDN Rising Star' Thorpedo Anna was no secret, with the news of his comment about bringing a grizzly to the Oaks spreading like wildfire in the days leading up to the big event. Meanwhile Hicks was relieved when the last of the mares due to foal at Brookstown this year produced a healthy foal three days before the Oaks. The breeder was in the clear to make an unforgettable trip to Louisville on Friday and watch her filly cross the wire first just before the heavens opened up over Churchill Downs. “Kenny was pretty sure she was going to win if she got a good start,” she said. “He knew she was going to win. And the way she ran, it was hard to contain myself. My tears were flowing. It was just unbelievable, but believable because we know how good she is.” From a broodmare band of eight mares and off a $10,000 stud fee, Hicks produced a Classic winner. “Everything just fell into place the right way,” she said with a shrug. “Now walking outside I have this feeling of fulfillment because of what I've done. But I don't feel like it's anything out of the ordinary. I mean, I'm still having to say, 'Hey, get it in your head that this really happened!' It's special and it'll be an occasion I will remember for the rest of my life.” Hicks has a lot to look forward to in the coming months as McPeek has said that Thorpedo Anna will likely point toward the GI Acorn S. on June 7 before the GI Coaching Club American Oaks and the GI Alabama S. But the horsewoman is also just as excited about what she has going on at her farm. Charlee O retired from racing this spring and has been bred to Bolt d'Oro. Meanwhile Sataves, who is only nine years old, has been bred to Gun Runner. Besides upgrading the class of stallion that Sataves will be visiting in the coming years, Hicks won't be changing much about her own lifestyle or her breeding program. Life at Brookstown Farm doesn't slow down even after producing a Kentucky Oaks victress and Hicks wouldn't have it any other way. “I live and breathe the horses and I have my dogs,” she reflected. “I come in my front gate and I leave everything behind me because, as we all know, the Thoroughbred business can be tough. I just enjoy my life. I enjoy my animals. I work very hard. I foal everything and I take every mare to the breeding shed myself.” “I don't want to retire,” she continued. “People say, 'When are you going to retire, Judy?' I say, 'What would I do then? I love what I do.' I feel that I run a good operation. It's not fancy, but it does seem to work.” The post From Brookstown Farm’s Soil, an Oak Flourishes appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The International Thoroughbred Breeders' Federation (ITBF) biennial Conference will begin next weekend in Tokyo, Japan, the ITBF announced on Friday. Lasting from May 18-23 and hosted by the Japan Bloodhorse Breeders' Association (JBBA), the Conference will welcome roughly 70 delegates from 20 countries, plus organisations EFTBA and OSAF, as well as representatives from the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA). Significant breeding and racing industry issues will be raised during the general meeting, and reports given on ITBF's proactivity within both breeding and the wider Thoroughbred industries. There is also a veterinary conference, with one of the themes 'Biological Integrity of Thoroughbred Racehorses and Its Regulatory Challenges', presented by Dr. Teruaki Tozaki of the Japanese Racing Association (JRA). Delegates will be taken on a trip to Hokkaido to visit top stud farms, including Shadai Stallion Station, the Darley Japan Stallion Complex, and Shizunai Stallion Station. There will also be tours of the JRA Hidaka Training Farm and the Bloodhorse Training Centre. In addition, Tokyo's premier race meetings, the Japanese Oaks to begin the week, and the Japanese Derby after the meetings have ended, are also available to attend. ITBF chairman, Kirsten Rausing said, “The ITBF much looks forward to its Conference in Japan. The location of our meeting is topical and relevant, as it highlights Japan's pivotal role in the contemporary Thoroughbred industry. The success of Japanese breeding and racing is a marvellous example to us all.” For more information on the conference, please visit the ITBF website.
