Wandering Eyes

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Without hesitation Sunday morning, Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas said he knows what he will be doing Monday, his 89th birthday. “Training horses,” he said. “I got two in, and I'll see if I can make it a special day by trying to get those things at least closer or win one. I told Laurie, my wife, 'for a birthday present, I'd like see one of them jump up and win.'” A victory on closing day of the Saratoga Race Course season would enable Lukas to have a positive end to what he said has been a less-than-satisfying summer. He entered Sunday with a 1-5-2 record from 29 starts. “The nice thing is, I still enjoy getting on that pony and riding out there and training and seeing the results and everything,” he said. “But it has been very frustrating from a standpoint of where I thought I could take some of these horses.” Four of those five seconds came in 2-year-old maiden special weight races, which Lukas said may show that his youngsters are on the verge of producing some victories. “I didn't get that one, Ripped (City of Light), even started, and he's one that we really think is special,” Lukas said. “I hope, to have a big fall. We should come up strong in the fall, and then I'm comfortable, if I can just develop them at Hot Springs over the winter.” Ever the optimist, Lukas was promoting his 2-year-olds last summer and predicting great things for 2024. One of the colts he was touting was My Racehorse's Seize the Grey (Arrogate). Seize the Grey, who broke his maiden in July and was third in the Skidmore Stakes. In May, Seize the Grey won the GI Preakness Stakes, making Lukas the oldest trainer to win a Triple Crown race. “Laurie reminded me of that today,” he said. “She reminded me that we won a Classic this year. I was complaining. I have a tendency to think that they all have to win.” Seize the Grey was seventh in the GI Belmont Stakes at Saratoga on June 8 and finished fourth in the GII Jim Dandy Stakes on July 27. The decision was made to bypass the GI DraftKings Travers Stakes on Aug 24 and prepare him for the $1-million GI Pennsylvania Derby on Sept. 21 at Parx. “We've got to sneak over there with him,” Lukas said. “That would be another nice one to get.” Lukas has always been forward-looking and he said another Seize the Grey scenario is possible. “I think that we've got a great shot to win some Classics next year,” he said. “I really like our 2-year-olds. I know I've been saying that right along, but we bought horses that are definitely Classic-type horses, and we've asked them to do some things that aren't in their wheelhouse like, 5 1/2 furlongs, six furlongs and stuff like that. I think that as they develop this fall, and they look like they're going in the right direction to me, that they're big, sound horses, I think we have a chance to really step up and have a big spring. I'm hoping for a big spring, and turning 90.” When he was at the top of the sport, Lukas managed a nationwide stable stocked with dozens of horses. At this point in his career, he feels that 40 horses is enough. “I was concerned five, six years ago,” he said. “When you get a little age on you, people start turning to the younger people. I thought that was coming, but before I came up here, I turned down 17 new ones.” Lukas said he did accept four more from MyRacehorse. “My major clients that have got a large stable already haven't backed up a bit,” he said, referring to BC Stable. “They're going right into the sale this fall with a vengeance.” Lukas's final starter of the season will be Innovate (Authentic) in the GI Hopeful Stakes–a race he has won a record eight times from 35 starts–the 10th race Monday. “He's a maiden, but he ran a nice second,” Lukas said. “He's a developing horse. The way I looked at that, he doesn't know he was second. He was flying at the end there. If he won, we would have said, 'Well, we got to point him for the Hopeful.' He didn't win, but we're still pointing for the Hopeful. I've done that before.” End of An Era as Rice Approaches Retirement Although he hasn't made it official yet, Harry Rice thinks Monday might be his final day as a NYRA valet at Saratoga Race Course. He has talked about retirement before, but he said this could be the year he steps away from a job he has had–working with and for jockeys–for nearly 50 years. “I've had a great run,” he said. Rice, 66, said he has been aiming to retire at the end of the 2025 Saratoga season. He said he likely will leave sooner if a contract with the union that represents valets and the people who work in the silks room completes negotiations on a new contract with NYRA. The contract may include incentives for him to retire. Rice is the shop steward. With a friendly, outgoing personality, Rice is a well-known figure at the NYRA tracks. That is especially true at Saratoga where jockeys and valets walk through the crowd to the paddock and back to the jocks' dressing room after each race. It often seems that everyone knows Rice and vice versa. Rice knows his time to leave is approaching, but isn't anxious to go. “I enjoy it,” he said. “I enjoy the people I work with.” Rice's father was a pressman at the New York Times and had a part-time job with the Pinkerton security company at the NYRA tracks. Rice said he could have followed his father into the newspaper business, but opted for racing. Harry Rice | Sarah Andrew “I started out as a Pinkerton for like a day and then I went to the White Caps,” he said. “I stayed there until I graduated high school and then I started at NYRA. My first day in the jock's room was January 6, 1976. I've just enjoyed it so much. And the people you meet and friendships you make, it's good, and it will be sad. I'll always come back up here.” Through the years, Rice has gotten to know dozens of jockeys who have competed at the NYRA tracks. “I got to work for a lot of great guys, and then work for a lot of great jockeys,” he said. “It goes all the way back to Jean Cruguet, then Mike Smith, Mike Luzzi and I'm working for Frankie Dettori now. I've had relations with these guys for 30 years. I'm still very close with Cruguet, Chris McCarron, Corey Nakatani, Rajiv Maragh. I don't want to leave any of the guys out. They were all good. And steeplechase guys.” Rice has already started the transition toward retirement and recognizes that he will have more flexibility in his life. “I tend bar two days a week in a place, Lee's Tavern, in Staten Island,” he said. “It's a very famous neighborhood bar with tremendous pizza. Then I'm going to make some trips. I'm going to go visit some racetracks that I haven't been to. And I'd like to go to Oaklawn and Del Mar, and some other ones. And then I will always come up here. I want to sit with the guys I've known for years from all over the place underneath that tree with a cooler. I'm looking forward to that. And just looking forward to take it a little easier because it's a grind.” While people who know him wonder whether Rice may postpose retirement until next year, he said the settlement of the contract will be a bittersweet turning point for him. “It's not only your livelihood,” he said, “but the racetrack is your life.” Stewart Has a Pair in the Hopeful Trainer Dallas Stewart has had a solid Saratoga season with a 3-3-4 record from 20 starts. He will try to pick up a big prize Monday with a pair of runners in the closing-day GI Hopeful Stakes. Stewart will saddle Tough Catch (Complexity) and Smoken Wicked (Bobby's Wicked One) in the seven-furlong test. Tough Catch won a July 13 maiden special weight and, in his only local appearance, Smoken Wicked was third, beaten 3 1/2 lengths, in the GII Saratoga Special on Aug. 10. The veteran trainer is a partner in Tough Catch with S.O.K. Racing, Gervais Racing, On Our Own Stable and Zak Stables. “Very nice horse,” Stewart said. “Trained great at Churchill. Came in here, I don't even think we worked here, but walked over there and beat a nice field. Did it the right way. He's just been training steady with a nice work pattern going up to the race. We know it's a great race. Lot of good horses in there. He's ready.” Tough Catch was purchased for $280,000 at the OBS April sale of 2-year-olds. “We had others that we had liked, too,” Stewart said. “Then we got to him, and he was an extremely nice-looking colt. Just moved good, worked good. Kind of what we were looking for and hopefully we would get him in the price range. He fit what we wanted.” The unexpected bonus for Stewart and his partners is that Complexity has emerged as a top first-class sire. “We didn't know much about the Complexitys at the time,” Steward said, “and then they just started popping: boom, boom, boom.” Smoken Wicked is a Louisiana-bred who sold for $38,000. “He's a horse that Murray Valene bought,” Stewart said. “I've been training for him for a long time. I've had like seven or eight champions, for him, Louisiana-breds. He's an ex polo player, so he picks his own horses out. He knows horses, and he saw this horse as a yearling at a sale in Louisiana and bought him. After the colt broke his maiden by 7 1/2 lengths at Evangeline Downs on June 1, Valene sent him to Stewart in Kentucky. He finished second in the Bashford Manor Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 30 at 32-1 and earned a spot in the string of 10 Stewart brought to Saratoga to start the meet. “He ran good there, comes here runs good in the Special and pushes on to the Hopeful,” Stewart said. “He's had a race over the track. Good work. Big, strong, impressive looking. Looks like a 3-year-old, matter of fact. Should run well. Seven furlongs should fit him very well.” The post Saratoga Notebook, Sponsored by NYRA Bets: Lukas Would Relish a Special Birthday Gift appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Sporting a nice turn of foot down the lane, Formidable Man (City of Light–Fanticola, by Silent Name {Jpn}) collected his first graded win in the GII Del Mar Derby on Sunday. The 6-5 favorite was content to track the pacesetters out of the chute and into the first turn. On hold up the backstretch, when it was time punch it the 3-year-old colt responded and down the lane he took control. Second choice Stay Hot (Summer Front) tried to catch up but he was forced to settle for second. The final running time was 1:49.87. Lifetime Record: 9-4-2-0. Sales History: $375,000 '22 KEESEP.

Not seen since he successfully invaded the GI Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn back in the spring, 'TDN Rising Star' Muth (Good Magic–Hoppa, by Uncle Mo) returned to the races and zoomed home to win the Shared Belief Stakes at the seaside oval on Sunday afternoon. The 3-year-old for Zedan Racing was forced to scratch before the GI Preakness Stakes because of a fever. Targeting the Del Mar meet, trainer Bob Baffert entered him in this spot and clearly the public believed he was ready since he went off as a heavy favorite. Following the lead of longshot Pony Express (Gun Runner) into the first turn, Muth was set up nicely to pounce by the far turn. The colt gunned his engine down the lane and won by 3 1/2 lengths over Indispensable (Constitution). The final running time was 1:35.64. Lifetime Record: 7-5-2-0.

After an objection and lengthy look by the stewards, it was 2-year-old colt Chasing Liberty (Constitution–Peaceful, Declaration of War) who was awarded the top prize when Under Whose Radar (Violence) was disqualified for impeding his progress late in the race and placed second in the $1 million National Thoroughbred League Juvenile Sprint at Kentucky Downs on Sunday. Under Whose Radar led out of the gate and continued to make the pace into the lane. As favorite Black Forza (Complexity) tried to overcome a tough beginning, Chasing Liberty flashed his speed and was full of run down the center of the course. Inside the final sixteenth, Under Whose Radar suddenly veered into Chasing Liberty's lane and then crossed the wire first. The ensuing objection and decision took Under Whose Radar down and place him second. Chasing Liberty was then elevated to first. Black Forza finished off the board. The final running time was 1:15.65. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0. O-Twin Creeks Racing Stable; B-Twin Creeks Farm; T-Rob Atras.

With a trip to the Breeders' Cup Classic going to the winner, it was Highland Falls (Curlin–Round Pond, by Awesome Again) who took home the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup and the ticket to Del Mar. Last seen as the runner-up to Tapit Trice (Tapit) in the GIII Monmouth Cup last month, the homebred went off as a 7-1 shot here.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – There could be another weekend of racing at Saratoga Race Course in 2025, if a plan being considered by the New York Racing Association is adopted. Although the racing would take place at the historic upstate facility, NYRA officials said it technically would not be an expansion of the 40-day Saratoga season. If the proposal is approved, the Fourth of July weekend–July 4 falls on a Friday–at Saratoga would be the final days of the Belmont of Aqueduct meet. The changes, most notably moving the GI Belmont Stakes to Saratoga this year and in 2025, is due to the reconstruction of Belmont Park. For the second consecutive year, the GI Belmont Stakes will be held in 2025 at Saratoga on June 7. This year, it was surrounded by a four-day festival. NYRA spokesperson Patrick McKenna said that under the proposal being discussed, racing would return to Aqueduct for three more weeks and then move back to Saratoga Race Course for the final weekend of the Belmont at Aqueduct meet. The 40-day Saratoga season will begin the following Thursday, June 10 and run through Labor Day, Sept 1.

In her debut, Quickick (McKinzie) ran well to be third but couldn't overcome a slow beginning as she dropped 15 lengths off the pace in the early going. So trainer Tom Amoss added blinkers and jockey Dylan Davis made sure to stay close to the early pace. That made all the difference as Quickick broke her maiden in Sunday's seventh race at Saratoga, winning by 2 1/2 lengths. Amoss also told Davis to try to get the filly to the outside where she wouldn't be bothered by the kickback. She broke from post one. “I told him if she's not taking that dirt in the face move her out,” Amoss said. “Dylan did just that. When he did she kicked home nicely.” Quickick was sent off as the 4-1 third-choice in the race as the money kept rolling in on two first-time starters, favorite Scottish Lassie (McKinzie) and second-choice Snowyte (Good Magic). Both ran well as Snowyte set the pace and Scottish Lassie was never far back in third. By mid-stretch Snowyte had taken a one-length lead and Scottish Lassie was right behind her. But the more experienced filly, Quickick, outran them all in the final sixteenth to earn the win. “Having a race under your belt, knowing what to tell the rider and the rider having experience with the horse,” Amoss said. “That's the advantage of having a race under your belt.” Owner Gregory Tramontin bought Quickick for $550,000 at the 2023 Keeneland sale. Amoss had some inside knowledge on the dam, as he trained her. She made 17 starts and won five races, including the GIII Winning Colors Stakes. “Her mom, Graeme Six, was a little bitty girl,” Amoss recalled. “She came up to New York and placed in a Grade I stakes (the 2007 Prioress) and that made her a momma. She's been a really prolific momma. Quickick is is a great example of the babies she's had. Quickick is the polar opposite of her mom. She's tall and lengthy.” Graeme Six (Graeme Hall) has had 11 foals and 10 of them are winners. The list includes Cali Star (Street Cry {Ire}), the winner of the 2015 GIII Rampart Stakes, and Delightful Joy (Tapit), the winner of the GIII Monmouth Oaks, also in 2015. Amoss is eager to test his filly against tougher competition. “We talk about it all the time,” he said. “I'll talk to the owner, Greg Tramontin. I know he is excited about her too. We would like to see how she competes with the other 2-year-old fillies in the nation going a little further distance and going two turns.” Quickick covered the seven furlongs in 1:23.78 and paid $10.40. She was also sold at the 2022 Keeneland November sale, where she brought $275,000. 7th-Saratoga, $100,000, Msw, 9-1, 2yo, f, 7f, 1:23.78, ft, 2 1/2 lengths. QUICKICK (f, 2, McKinzie–Graeme Six {GSW & GISP, $338,854}, by Graeme Hall) recovered from a poor beginning to come on for third at odds of 4-1 in her debut over course and distance Aug. 11. Away at those same odds but racing with the addition of blinkers Sunday, the $550,000 Keeneland yearling got off to a better start and found herself mid pack behind Snowyte (Good Magic). With an inside trip that had her poised for a run off the turn, Quickick tipped outside of that pacesetter to get first jump with race favorite Scottish Lassie (McKinzie) moving with her, got up on even terms past the eighth pole and spurted clear late to deny the early leader by 2 1/2 lengths. The seventh winner for her freshman sire (by Street Sense), Quickick is out of $950,000 broodmare buy Graeme Six, already the producer of this winner's half-siblings Seymourdini (Bernardini), SW, $242,027, Cali Star (Street Cry {Ire}), GSW, $348,080 and Delightful Joy (Tapit), GSW, $179,200, who herself has produced GSW Window Shopping (American Pharoah). Graeme Six returned to McKinzie two subsequent times but after Quickick but failed to catch for both 2023 and 2024. She was bred to Olympiad for 2025.

Earning a Boy Scout bugle merit badge is one of the toughest to collect and so is winning a dirt race from way off it. In his Sunday debut at Del Mar, the 'TDN Insighted' Bullard (Gun Runner–Reve d'Amour, by Warrior's Reward) sounded his bugle and charged home to graduate, which earned the 2-year-old a 'TDN Rising Star' merit badge for his effort. Not so swift out of the gate, the colt trailed as favorite Kalea Bay (Authentic) carved out the fractions. Not willing to accept defeat, Bullard rolled around the far turn, got clear to the outside and set his sights on the pacesetter. His massive kick down the lane was strong and he got the money. The final running time was 1:10.32. This was the 15th 'TDN Rising Star' for the accomplished Gun Runner. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. Sales History: $675,000 '23 KEESEP. O-St. Elias Stable, Talla Racing LLC, Three Chimneys Farm and West Point Thoroughbreds; B-Three Chimneys Farm LLC (Ky); T-Michael McCarthy. #3 BULLARD ($8.80) runs down Kalea Bay to break his maiden on debut in the opener at @DelMarRacing. @umbyrispoli rode the two-year-old colt by @Three_Chimneys' Gun Runner for trainer @mwmracing. pic.twitter.com/5f7mmbMmjY — FanDuel Racing (@FanDuel_Racing) September 1, 2024 The post Gun Runner Colt Bullard Sounds The Bugle And Earns ‘TDN Rising Star’ Badge At Del Mar appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The holiday weekend of stakes action–and the Saratoga meet–conclude in style when morning-line favorite Ferocious (Flatter) faces eight rivals in contentious renewal of the GI Hopeful Stakes. Campaigned by JR Ranch, Ramiro Restrepo, High Step Racing and OGMA Investments, the $1.3-million OBS March graduate romped to a 7 3/4-length debut win and earned a 'TDN Rising Star' label Aug. 3. Off a step slow in that unveiling, Ferocious settled in a good stalking position behind an opening quarter-mile in :22.06 over a muddy and sealed main track. Tipped out to the three path at the quarter-pole through a half-mile in :45.61, he was in command with a furlong to run, scoring in a final time of 1:09.65 for six furlongs. The winning effort earned a 96 Beyer Speed Figure–the highest number recorded by any 2-year-old this year. Ferocious has worked twice since that debut win, going four furlongs in :50.88 (48/64) Aug. 18 and five furlongs in 1:02.63 (3/6) Aug. 24. “Since his first race, everything has been pretty straightforward with him,” said Gustavo Delgado, Jr., son and assistant to trainer Gustavo Delgado, Sr. “He's had a couple of breezes–both of them very easy and all the signs you want to see with a horse after his first race are there. It's hard to say after a 96 Beyer Speed Figure first time out that he's going to improve, but it's more about getting the foundation that young horses at this time of the year need. Everybody is excited to see him run again.” Ferocious will have another furlong to work with in the Hopeful and Delgado said the added distance will be a benefit to the colt, who will break from post two Monday. “I think the extra furlong will help him. He will have more time to relax,” Delgado said. “He seems to be a very nice horse. We don't know how good he is yet, but it's just a matter of putting him out there. We're aware of the horses he's going to face this time and there's a few horses everybody is high on, and they can improve a lot from one race to another.” Ferocious was the second-highest priced offering following a :9 4/5 work at the OBS March sale. “Everybody–not just us–liked this horse and that's why we had to pay that price for our clients,” Delgado said. “Apart from that, he did have one of the best, if not the best, breeze for that sale. His physique, his conformation and family all suggested he was a really nice horse. He's got a classy way about him and when he walks, he's very elegant.” Flanagan Racing's Chancer McPatrick (McKinzie), who earned his own 'TDN Rising Star' label with his late-running debut victory going 6 1/2 furlongs July 27 for trainer Chad Brown, will break from post eight and is 5-2 on the morning line. “Based on his morning works, I expected him to be a mid-pack type of horse if he broke well,” Brown said of the colt's debut effort. “But then he got shuffled back and found himself in a very challenging position early. I was quite impressed with the way he overcame it. Flavien [Prat] went to 'Plan B' and was very patient and the horse really came through. It's his talent that really prevailed.” Chancer McPatrick most recently worked four furlongs in :49.00 (19/94) over the main track at Saratoga Aug. 25. “He looks super. He's been training very well,” Brown said. Brown will also saddle Klaravich Stables' Incentive Pay (Volatile) in the Hopeful. The chestnut breaks from the outside in the nine-horse field and is 8-1 on the morning line. He was a debut winner with a rail-skimming rally going six furlongs at Saratoga July 20. “I was quite impressed with him that he was able to come up the rail and run like a horse that has done it before,” Brown said. “I know he's really got to come forward on his figures–there are some fast horses in this race–but he ran early in the meet, and I feel I only had the horse 80% fit. I'd never breezed him past a half-mile and I think there's a lot of room for improvement there. He's really done well [since].” The Hopeful is the 10th of 12 races on Saratoga's closing-day card with a post time of 5:43 p.m. The post Ferocious Ready to Rumble in Hopeful appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Brightwork (Outwork), who returned from a 10-month layoff to win the GIII Prioress Stakes at Saratoga Saturday, could make her next start in the GII Raven Run Stakes at Keeneland Oct. 19, if all goes well, according to trainer John Ortiz. “We'll let her tell us where to go next,” Ortiz said. “This is the biggest effort I've seen her lay out in the afternoon–she was running against 3-year-olds that have been running and I want to make sure she comes out of it in good shape and has enough time to recover.” Brightwork opened her career last summer with four straight victories, including wins in the GIII Adirondack Stakes and GI Spinaway Stakes. She suffered her first loss when fifth when trying two turns in the 1 1/16-mile GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes and had not been seen since finishing sixth in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies last November. “She just proved us right that she's an athlete,” Ortiz said of Saturday's return win. “She looked so tired coming down the stretch and [runner-up] Two Sharp (Twirling Candy) was so game with her, and they had a really good horse race. But you could just see the class and the heart that she has for this game–she loves it. She starts nickering any time you put the saddle on for training. She loves her job, and she definitely proved it yesterday.” Brightwork's winning effort in the Prioress matched her career-best 89 Beyer Speed Figure and capped an impressive Spa season for Ortiz, who sports a 11-6-1-1 record at the meet. “It's always great to come to Saratoga,” Ortiz said. “It's one of the biggest stages in the world and it's a place where you want to be seen and recognized to be doing well. Having success at Saratoga is something you want on your resume, but when you crush the meet like we did this year, it speaks volumes about our team.” Ortiz also has a Keeneland stakes assignment on the calendar for Shortleaf Stable's Quietside (Malibu Moon). Tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' following her 6 1/4-length debut win Aug. 4, the dark bay filly was runner-up in the GI Spinaway Stakes Saturday. Caught four wide after exiting post 11 with Luis Saez aboard in the Spinaway, Quietside made an early move for the lead through the turn, opening up by 2 1/2 lengths at the stretch call, but had to settle for second, landing 1 1/4 lengths back of the rallying Immersive (Nyquist). “We got a little unfortunate with the post, which I initially loved, but we did get caught widest the whole race,” Ortiz said. “Luis tried to cut the corner coming out of the turn to get the jump on the girls, but we just got caught. It was a great ride, great effort and we're happy to see she has real ability to come back and repeat a good effort after winning first time out. She proved she is some quality.” Ortiz continued, “She came out of the race in great form–bright eyed. She ate up her dinner last night and she jogged up sound for us this morning. We're super happy with the winning effort she put out there. Getting caught at the wire is just part of horse racing.” Ortiz said Quietside will now target the Oct. 4 GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland. “We think she'll like the two turns in the long term,” Ortiz said. Trainer Brad Cox confirmed Sunday that the Alcibiades is also the likely next start for Godolphin homebred Immersive. “She looked good,” Cox said. “We expected her to run big and she did. We always thought she showed the potential to stretch out. She got the seven-eighths and she should handle two turns. We will ship her back to Kentucky on Monday, and zero in on the Alcibiades, and go from there.” Immersive, who was a two-length winner going six furlongs in her July 21 debut at Saratoga, broke from the rail while making her second career start in the seven-furlong Spinaway. “She showed she has a tremendous amount of class to overcome the one hole,” Cox said of the filly's effort Saturday. “Manny [Franco] did a good job of putting her in a good position of tracking the frontrunners. Then she was able to show her stamina and class late to get by a very good filly inside the final sixteenth. She had a big gallop-out and I'm looking forward to getting her around two turns.” The post Keeneland Stakes Assignments Likely Next for Brightwork, Immersive appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Finally there's a feeling that Bradsell (GB) (Tasleet {GB}) is starting to get the recognition he deserves following his scintillating success in the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York's Ebor Festival. Already a two-time winner at Royal Ascot before that career high on the Knavesmire, he's quietly put together the sort of record which ought to earn him a queue of mares at his stable door by the time his racing days are over. And if for whatever reason it doesn't work out for Bradsell as a stallion, then he'll surely always have a place at Tattersalls as the equine ambassador for the Somerville Yearling Sale, having been bought at Park Paddocks for just 12,000gns in its very first year in 2021. He's been the poster boy ever since. “He's an absolutely outstanding advertisement for the Somerville Yearling Sale,” Tattersalls marketing director Jimmy George said of Archie Watson's sprinting star on the eve of this year's sale. “He was immense in the Nunthorpe and he looks as if he's got all of the credentials to go on to more Group 1 glory. For a sale of this nature, it's fantastic to have flagbearers of this quality.” Bradsell certainly isn't the only one. This year alone the juveniles Arabian Dusk (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Enchanting Empress (GB) (Sergei Prokofiev) and Tropical Storm (GB) (Eqtidaar {Ire}) have all won Pattern contests after changing hands at this sale 12 months ago. Listed scorers Enchanting Empress and Tropical Storm sold for 62,000gns and 50,000gns, respectively, while Arabian Dusk, the winner of the G2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes, proved a successful pinhook after being picked up for 80,000gns. “She emphasises two aspects to the sale, I think,” George said of Arabian Dusk. “It shows the quality of the horses to be found in the Somerville Yearling Sale, but it's also been a very happy hunting ground for the breeze-up consignors. She was bought for 80,000gns last year and sold for 525,000gns at the Craven Breeze-up Sale–it was fantastic business for all concerned.” He added, “The consistent number of Group and Listed winners coming from the sale tell their own story. Don't forget Anisette, who is arguably the best turf filly in California at the moment. There are only three Grade I races for fillies in California these days and she's won every single one of them. She was purchased for 26,000gns [in 2021] and I think it emphasises the diversity and the depth of the quality available. It's not just a one-dimensional sale.” As well as being far from one-dimensional, the Somerville Yearling Sale is also no longer a one-day fixture. For the first time this year it will be held over two days, with over 430 lots–up from 305 offered in 2023–scheduled to go under the hammer. Selling begins at 10am on Tuesday. Explaining the decision to move to two days, George said, “This sale has well and truly established itself as an important fixture in the European yearling sales calendar. Demand for places in its short history has always been considerable and it was felt that this year it made eminent sense to expand the fixture to two days, in response to that demand. “It's a strong catalogue, obviously significantly larger than we've had before, and it's full of the sort of yearlings that buyers have come to expect from the sale. There are certain areas of the market which are stronger than others, but quality yearlings have always found buyers in abundance and I think we'll see that in the next couple of days.” Only time will tell whether there's another Bradsell to be found, but buyers will have the opportunity to get their hands on a half-brother to the filly who chased him home in the Nunthorpe, Believing (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}). Lot 279, consigned by Kildallan Farm, is an Inns Of Court (Ire) colt out of the unraced Kodiac (GB) mare Misfortunate (Ire) whose four-year-old daughter also won the G2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh in July. Other potential highlights include lot 235, Hazelwood Bloodstock's half-sister to the GI Natalma Stakes heroine La Pelosa (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) by Earthlight (Ire), while the pedigree of lot 204 received a significant update on Sunday when his half-brother, Aesterius (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), ran away with the G3 Prix d'Arenberg at Longchamp. This colt from the Ballinafad Stud draft is by Tally-Ho Stud resident Cotai Glory (GB). Last year's Deutsches Derby winner Fantastic Moon (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}) was also in the news on Sunday when he doubled his Group 1 tally in the Grosser Preis von Baden. His breeder, Philipp Stauffenberg, is consigning for the first time at the Somerville Yearling Sale this year, with a pair of fillies set to be offered under the name of his Stauffenberg Bloodstock. The Hello Youmzain (Fr) filly set to go through the ring as lot 223 is out of the German Group 3 runner-up La Merced (Ger) (Tiger Hill {Ire}), while the second dam, La Pilaya (Ger) (Pivotal {GB}), is a half-sister to five black-type performers. The other Stauffenberg offering, lot 185, is from the first crop of A'Ali (Ire), who had eight yearlings sell at the Doncaster Premier Yearling Sale at an average of £57,125 and for an aggregate sum of £457,000. Speaking of last week, it seems right to include a few lines from the leading buyer at Doncaster ahead of a sale where the clientele promises to include many of the same faces. Anthony Bromley, acting on behalf of Classic-winning owner Phil Cunningham, signed for 10 yearlings for a total of £1,010,000 at the Premier Yearling Sale, but overall trade was down on the previous year–the average and median both dropped by 14%–and Bromley expects more of the same as we head into the autumn. “As I thought the top quartile is very strong, but then there's chances,” Bromley said of the market last week. “The lower end is a little bit sticky and there are moments to find value. I know the parameters are going to be a bit down, but it's not going to be any different anywhere else this autumn. All of the averages and medians are going to be down this year. “We've got 450 fast yearlings this week [in Doncaster] and in a weeks' time we've got another 450 at the Somerville Yearling Sale, so it will be interesting to see whether it'll hold up through the whole thing.” The post Bradsell the Poster Boy as Tattersalls Prepares for First Two-Day Somerville Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The word was out when the Chad Brown-trainee Opulent Restraint (Dubawi {Ire}) made her first career start on July 28 at Saratoga. She was sent off as the 7-10 favorite but couldn't come through. She finished fourth, beaten 1 1/4 lengths. On Sunday at Saratoga she made amends. Sent off this time at 3-2, she won a stretch battle with Good Long Cry (Long On Value) to win the mile-and-a-sixteenth turf maiden by a half-length. “She has shown ability from day one and Chad liked her a lot,” wining rider Irad Ortiz Jr. said.. “First time out, she ran well, but just got beat. We regrouped, turned the page and she ran today the way we expected.” Opulent Restraint is owned by Stephanie Seymour Brant and was bred in Ireland by her husband Peter Brant's White Birch Farm. She is the first foal of Significant Form (Creative Cause), a five-time stakes winner whose list of wins includes the GII Ballston Spa S. and three Grade III stakes. She was also owned by Seymour Brant and trained by Chad Brown. The win Sunday wasn't exactly easy. A half-mile into the race, Opulent Restraint was stalking the pace in fourth . She took the lead at the three-sixteenths pole, but Good Long Cry, who set the pace, would not go away under Manny Franco. After a spirited stretch duel, Opulent Restraint prevailed. “I was right behind Manny and was full of horse,” Ortiz said. “I tipped her out and she responded well. She was still a little green, a little inexperienced. I think she still has something in the tank. We need to keep an eye on her. She can be a nice horse.” The GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf will likely be in Brown's plans. He has won the race six times. Magenta (Into Mischief) finished third for trainer Todd Pletcher and Repole Stable. The winner paid $5.10 and covered the distance in 1:44.17. 2nd-Saratoga, $100,000, Msw, 9-1, 2yo, f, 1 1/16mT, 1:44.17, gd, 1/2 length. OPULENT RESTRAINT (IRE) (f, 2, Dubawi {Ire}–Significant Form {MGSW, $817,216}, by Creative Cause) was fourth as the 3-5 choice in her career debut here July 28 and was installed the 3-2 second choice to make good this time. Settled in a stalking position early after sitting back a hair at the break, the Irish bred was under a tight hold by Irad Ortiz Jr., who tucked her in along the hedge rounding the first turn. Continuing to pull her rider along as Good Long Cry (Long On Value) carved out a quarter in :23.91 and a :49.16 half, the grey eagerly advanced as a seam opened up turning for home. Taking aim at the pacesetter down the stretch, she collared her rival midstretch and inched clear late to graduate by a half length. Good Long Cry was second with Magenta (Into Mischief) rounding out the trifecta. Favored Love Tempo (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) rallied to be fourth. A half-sister to Grade III winner Hay Dakota (Haynesfield), Significant Form was a $75,000 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July yearling that was secured for $575,000 by Peter Brant's White Birch Farm the following year at the OBS Spring 2-year-old Sale. A multiple graded stakes winner on the turf for Chad Brown, the grey mare produced Sunday's winner on her first try and followed up another filly by Dubawi (Isadora Duncan) in 2023 and a filly by Kingsman earlier this season. She was bred back to Justify. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $61,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. O-Stephanie Seymour Brant; B-White Birch Farm Sc (IRE); T-Chad C.

Wootton Bassett (GB) will command a fee of A$192,500 in 2024 when he covers his fourth book of mares at Coolmore's Jerry Plains operation in New South Wales, Australia, it was announced on Sunday. The son of Iffraaj (GB) is on the brink of having his first Southern Hemisphere-bred runners hit the track. He is already well-established as one of the leading stallions in Europe as the sire of nine individual Group 1 winners, including the European champion three-year-old colt Almanzor (Fr) and last year's G1 Champion Stakes hero King Of Steel. From his initial Southern Hemisphere crop, Wootton Bassett served an impressive array of mares, including the nine-time Group 1 winner Avantage (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}). The resulting filly from this mating commanded A$2.1 million at this year's Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale. “Wootton Bassett continues to go from strength to strength,” said Coolmore Australia's Tom Moore. “He produced two Group 1-winning two-year-old colts last year and through Henri Matisse, Ides Of March and others, he's well on track to emulate that incredible feat in consecutive years. “From his current two- and three-year-old crops he's already yielded 14 stakes winners, a number which is sure to grow.” Moore added, “Given the quality of mares he's been patronised by in his initial seasons in Australia and the way they were received at the sales this year, we think he represents a great opportunity for Australasian breeders with quality mares this season, particularly those elite mares looking for an outcross option.” The post Coolmore Australia Announce Wootton Bassett’s Fee at A$192,500 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
