Delacroix joins Coolmore Stud’s Australian roster

Regally bred Group 1 winner Delacroix (Dubawi) will join Coolmore Australia’s elite southern roster in the Hunter Valley this year at an introductory service fee of $38,500 (inc. GST).

Delacroix is a son of breed-shaping sire Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) whose sons Too Darn Hot and Ghaiyyath are already making a significant impact at stud in Australia.

What's On

“We are thrilled to offer Delacroix to Australasian breeders," Coolmore Australia’s sales and nominations manager Colm Santry said. "He’s an outstanding individual with all the attributes we look for in a stallion: quality, athleticism and a world-class pedigree that is free of Danehill and Green Desert blood.

“The sireline adapts exceptionally well to our conditions, producing versatile horses with speed, class and the ability to train on.  Delacroix fits that mould perfectly as a high-class Group winner at two who trained on to win multiple Group 1 races as a three-year-old against older horses in the Eclipse Stakes and Irish Champion Stakes.

“He’s a very exciting addition to our roster.”

In addition to the world-class sireline, Delacroix is a son of champion North American turf mare Tepin (Bernstein), a six-time Grade/Group 1 winner including the Breeders’ Cup Mile (Gr 1, 8f) at Keeneland and Queen Anne Stakes (Gr 1, 1m) at Royal Ascot.

Trained by Aidan O’Brien, Delacroix broke his maiden as a summer two-year-old at the Curragh, defeating fellow Dubawi colt Acapulco Bay. He followed up with his first black-type win after fending off Stanhope Gardens (Ghaiyyath) by a neck in the Autumn Stakes (Gr 3, 1m) at Newmarket.

O’Brien gave him a final juvenile outing in the Futurity Trophy Stakes (Gr 1, 1m) at Doncaster and, after a courageous duel, he was beaten a nose in a pulsating finish by Hotazhell (Too Darn Hot). 

Delacroix returned at three for a career-defining season that commenced with facile victories in the Ballysax Stakes (Gr 3, 1m 2f) and Derby Trial Stakes (Gr 3, 1m 2f) at Leopardstown.  

“We always thought he would stay well,” O’Brien said as Ryan Moore brought the colt back to scale after the second-leg. “He's a fine, big, powerful horse and will improve plenty fitness-wise.”

Delacroix was sent off favourite for the Epsom Derby (Gr 1, 1m 4f) but things didn’t go according to plan and he was then dropped back in trip for the Eclipse Stakes (Gr 1, 1m 2f) at Sandown, where he displayed a devastating turn of foot from a seemingly impossible position to defeat multiple Group 1 scorer Ombudsman (Night Of Thunder) – last seen effortlessly winning the Dubai Turf (Gr 1, 1800m) at Meydan last month.

“

He’s out of one of America’s greatest racemares of recent times and was an exceptionally sound, tough and talented racehorse with a lethal turn of foot. Dubawi’s sons are excelling at stud and Delacroix was higher-rated than any of them.

David O'Loughlin


“What he did at Sandown, you don’t see horses do that,” O’Brien declared. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a horse do what he did to Ombudsman.”

That burst of acceleration was seen again to great effect in the Irish Champion Stakes (Gr 1, 1m 2f) at Leopardstown when Delacroix completed a double previously achieved by notable stallions like Sadler’s Wells (Northern Dancer), Giant’s Causeway (Storm Cat), Sea The Stars (Cape Cross) and St Mark’s Basilica (Siyouni).

He put the race to bed in a matter of strides, making smooth headway before swooping to the front two furlongs from home and adding further lustre to his CV. 

“It was an even, strongly run race and Christophe [Soumillon] was very confident” O’Brien said.  “When he said go, Delacroix just took off and you could see the quickness he has when asked to let down.

“He’s big and powerful and came off a strong pace like he did in the Eclipse. What he did at Sandown was incredible and he did it again today.” 

Delacroix and Ombudsman squared off for the final time in the 2025 Champion Stakes (Gr 1, 1m 2f) at Ascot last October but were beaten by the Aga Khan homebred and world's highest rated racehorse Calandagan (Gleneagles).

O’Brien blamed the surface for what was his final appearance in a 12-start career:  “They had drained the track and there was a lot of sand in the slots. He got a little lost and ended up getting a bit back. Some horses find it hard to get traction and he was a little bit at sea on it.”

Delacroix is ready to write the next chapter as one of the most exciting additions to Coolmore's roster in recent years. 

“He’s a gorgeous horse, undoubtedly the best-looking son of Dubawi we’ve ever seen,” said Coolmore’s David O’Loughlin.

“He’s out of one of America’s greatest racemares of recent times and was an exceptionally sound, tough and talented racehorse with a lethal turn of foot. Dubawi’s sons are excelling at stud and Delacroix was higher-rated than any of them.”

Watership Down Stud general manager Simon Marsh is another admirer and is well-placed to comment, as Too Darn Hot was bred and raced by Watership Down owner Andrew Lloyd Webber.

“Delacroix is a really, really good-looking son of Dubawi who is doing so fantastically well and he’s got a great walk, too,” Marsh said. “I like him a lot.”

Delacroix owns a unique genetic pedigree, being free of Danehill and Green Desert, both sons of Danzig (Northern Dancer), making him a very important outcross for Coolmore and its clients.

Newgate eye stud future after Campione D’Italia’s Group 1 breakthrough

By Trevor Marshallsea

Campione D'Italia (Credit: Bradley Photos)

Newgate Farm believe they have their next ready-made stallion in waiting – and possibly their best son of Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice) – following Saturday’s Inglis Sires’ Produce (Gr 1, 1400m) triumph of Campione D’Italia.

With a touch of ironic timing, coming in the same week that the footballing Azzurri failed to qualify for a third straight World Cup, this four-legged “champion of Italy” stamped his stud future with an emphatic, professional victory in one of Australia’s key stallion-making races.

It remains uncertain whether his trainer Chris Waller will push on to seek an elite double with the China Horse Club-Newgate two-year-old in the Champagne Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) on Saturday week.

Campione D’Italia is a pronounced $2.50 favourite for the 1600-metre contest. Waller has no doubts he will run out a solid mile, but with the raw colt four runs into his first preparation, his master trainer is pondering whether that question might best be answered in October’s Caulfield Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m).

“We’ll see how he comes through [the Sires’],” Waller told ANZ News on Saturday.

“Obviously it’s a big deal to win the Champagne for a colt, but there’s so much to come for him. That’ll be the only thing swaying us. He’ll get a Guineas trip, it’s just a matter of whether he’s ready for it now.”

In any event, Campione D’Italia – the half-million dollar yearling of whom Waller’s team has long held a high opinion – is destined for Newgate’s stallion barn at some point.

At present, the progressive farm has three sons of Snitzel comprising 20 per cent of their 15-strong line-up – the 12-year-old Russian Revolution, the eight-year-old Wild Ruler, and the seven-year-old In The Congo.

But Newgate managing director Henry Field, keenly anticipating the next sire from the farm’s powerhouse partnership with the China Horse Club, doesn’t see such Snitzel representation as any issue at all.

“You can’t get too much of a good thing,” Field told ANZ. “Sons of Snitzel do extremely well at stud. He’s such an influential sire.

“And Campione D’Italia, he may well be – well I think he’s an exceptionally talented horse, so there’ll be a box ready for him for sure.”

Field may have just stopped himself from declaring Campione D’Italia potentially Newgate’s finest son of Snitzel. But the expectations around the colt are far larger than his nascent CV shows so far, even if that now includes a Group 1.

He was bought by the China Horse Club, Newgate and partners for $500,000 after initially being passed in at Magic Millions Gold Coast, with breeder Gerry Harvey retaining a 20 per cent share.

“He was just a beautiful, athletic horse, with plenty of size and scope,” Field recalled. “He passed in, but thankfully we were able to negotiate a deal.

“He perhaps wasn’t an obvious horse who’d win a Group 1 or Group 2, but we thought he’d develop into a beautiful horse in time. So he’s probably achieving more than we expected this early in his career.”

Held up until the summer in the Waller way with juveniles, Campione D’Italia trialed impressively with a win at Canterbury and two seconds before debuting in Randwick’s Lonhro Plate (Listed, 1000m) on February 7. Much was expected, reflected in his $5.50 starting price, but in his first try at the caper he flopped spectacularly, running a seven-length tenth of ten.

Waller on Saturday reflected that the green colt had “wanted to get the race over with as soon as possible.”

Given another trial and more education, he put it all together at start number two – at the punishment price of $41 – storming home from last to scrape home in the Skyline Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m).

He ran a heroic fourth in the Golden Slipper (Gr 1, 1200m), settling at the back and still last at the 300 metres and blocked for room, before flashing home to be beaten two lengths.

But he made amends admirably on Saturday, settling midfield, hauling in tearaway leader Rachini (Zoustar) in the straight, and having enough in reserve to score by a comfortable 0.8 lengths.

“He’s a horse Team Waller have rated as being absolutely exceptional from last December,” Field said. “He won a trial very easily and they marked him as something very special, and they were very patient with him.

“First up, the expectation was that he’d win easily, but it all backfired and he came last.

“But from that point on, they’ve done a huge amount of work with him. They’ve taught him to settle, they’ve done some dressage work with him. Chris has one of the best trackwork riders in Sydney in Stuart [Williams], and he’s done a lot of work with the horse.

“He’s still not the finished article, mentally or physically, but they’ve done a phenomenal job of nursing him along.”

Campione D’Italia has had some of Australia’s most experienced jockeys ride him – Saturday’s pilot James McDonald, his Slipper rider Damian Lane, and his Skyline partner Tommy Berry. All three, Field says, have given reports which enhance expectations of what he can achieve, not only on the track but in the breeding barn.

“Every single person who rides him says the feel he gives is different,” Field said. “He’s still not the finished article, but he’s certainly a horse with immense talent.

“I’d say he’s potentially one of the best horses we’ve ever raced in the China Horse Club colours. That’s a big wrap, but I think he’s very, very good.

“And we’ve had a phenomenal partnership with the China Horse Club. Over the past decade, we’ve produced 15 Australian stallions, and now Campione D’Italia will be the 16th.

“It’s been a great partnership, and all of the partners involved have been so supportive of us. Everyone contributes in different ways. Michael Smith from the China Horse Club and Tom Ryan from SF Bloodstock were very bullish on buying this horse.”

Field also expressed gratitude for long-term Newgate collaborators Gavin Murphy, of SF Bloodstock, and Matthew Sandblom, of Kingstar Farm among other endeavours, and of course China Horse Club chairman Teo Ah King and his wife Ivy.

Campione D’Italia would have much to live up to following other sires to have worn the red with gold stars all the way to the stallion barn – horses including the aforementioned Russian Revolution, Wild Ruler and In The Congo, along with Artorius (Flying Artie), Tiger Of Malay (Extreme Choice) and more.

But Field is convinced he has the right attributes and bloodlines to make it.

Aside from being by Snitzel –  the late winner of four champion sires’ titles who’s posthumously bearing down on his fifth – Campione D’Italia is the fifth foal to race out of a broodmare very much proving her worth in Medaglia Valore (Medaglia D’Oro).

Four of her runners have been winners, including the Group 3-placed Flashing Steel (Not A Single Doubt), and the one who isn’t is Campione D’Italia’s year-older sister Snitzel Miss, who is Group 2-placed among seven starts, also for Waller.

Furthermore, Campione D’Italia’s second dam is Military Rose (General Nediym), who won five black type races including the STC Reisling Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) which helped her become second top filly on the 2009-10 Australasian 2YO Classification. She’s also the second dam of dual Group 3-winning two-year-old Espionage (Zoustar).

Third and fourth dams Bella Maddelena (Flying Spur) and Zest (Marauding) add further in the Australian speed sire department.

“Campione is by a champion sire, and his dam is by a phenomenal broodmare sire in Medaglia D’Oro, it’s a great Australian speed family,” Field said. “He’s a very attractive horse and he’s got exceptional ability with a great turn of foot, which is what we always look for in a sire.”

Campione D’Italia also has double Danehill (Danzig), but while this combined with the preponderance of Danehill in Australia’s broodmare band may have put some breeders off in years past, Field is not concerned.

Partly that’s because it’s relatively deep in the pedigree, at 3m x 5m, and partly because Field has an encouraging template for it elsewhere in his breeding barn.

Golden Slipper winning sire Stay Inside (Extreme Choice) has Danehill at 4m x 4m, but that hasn’t stopped his impressive start to stud life. After a somewhat quiet beginning, the seven-year-old has risen to second on the Australian first season sires’ table behind only Home Affairs (I Am Invincible), who’s assured of the title due to his son Guest House’s Slipper win.

Stay Inside is also first by winners (four) and equal-first by black type winners, after Blue Door became his second in Australia by taking Saturday’s Kindergarten Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) at Randwick. That gave the stallion three stakes victors overall, with Lassified scoring in black type in New Zealand.

“Double Danehill isn’t an issue if you’ve got a good horse,” Field said.

“Stay Inside is starting to show that. From 11 runners he’s leading sire of first crop two-year-olds by winners, and equal top by stakes winners, and I think Blue Door looks quite exceptional.

“I’m very confident about Stay Inside. He had a quiet few months but he’s really stoking up now, and his stats are exceptional.”

Aside from his more regular partners, Field also had a special vote of thanks for Harvey, who enjoyed a special race-to-race double on day one of the Randwick carnival. 

Not only is the octogenarian Magic Millions boss a one-fifth owner of the Sires’ winner, he’s also the breeder and sole owner of Chidiac (Better Than Ready), who one race before took the $1 million Country Championships Final (1400m) for trainers Brett and Georgie Cavanough.

Notoriously frugal billionaire Harvey had to be talked into selling Campione D’Italia to the Newgate-China Horse Club team, having wanted $600,000 for him. At a lower scale, Chidiac was passed in at Book 2 at the Gold Coast in 2022 having failed to meet her $25,000 reserve – by just $1,000. Harvey reaped the reward of that decision yesterday.

“I’m so happy for Gerry,” Field said. “To see him as happy as he was at the races was enormous. He puts so much into it, and supports each and every one of us in the industry.

“It wouldn’t be the same industry without Gerry in it.”

Former Slipper rivals set for Arrowfield rematch

A rematch is set between old rivals Marhoona (Snitzel) and Tempted (Street Boss) as they head towards Saturday’s Arrowfield 3YO Sprint (Gr 2, 1200m) at Randwick. The three-year-old pair are locked at one win apiece from their juvenile clashes, with Tempted taking out the Reisling Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) at Randwick before Marhoona turned the tables at Rosehill in the Golden Slipper (Gr 1, 1200m). Both returned as last-start Group 1 winners at the same respective Sydney tracks, with Tempted scoring in the Surround Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) and Marhoona claiming The Galaxy (Gr 1, 1100m) against older horses. “We did beat her in the Slipper, and she beat us in the Reisling,” Marhoona’s trainer Michael Freedman said. “[Tempted] is obviously a very, very good filly and she will take a bit of beating next Saturday.” Freedman said Marhoona had continued to thrive, adding: “I think she’s going as well as she ever has…she is in good order.” He also highlighted her determination, saying: “She is such a tough, game filly. She’s not overly big, but she hates getting beaten.” Freedman noted barriers could prove influential, while Zac Lloyd has been booked to ride.

Loera carries Slipper pedigree into Rosehill debut

Blueblood filly Loera (Capitalist) will look to step out of the shadows of her Golden Slipper-winning parents when she makes her debut in the Agency Real Estate Plate (1100m) at Rosehill on Monday. By 2016 Slipper winner Capitalist (Written Tycoon) and out of 2013 heroine Overreach (Exceed And Excel), the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained filly carries a rare pedigree and is bred on a cross that has already produced Group 3 winner Kaizad and a number of metropolitan performers. She is also a half-sister to Group 2 winner Lofty Strike (Snitzel). When speaking to Racing NSW, Adrian Bott said Loera had taken time to reach the races but had shown encouraging ability. “Overreach was a very sharp filly and this one looks a speed filly as well,” he said. “She has a similar sort of mould and traits to her, so hopefully she can share a bit of her ability.” Bott added patience had been key to her development. “She’s had a few preparations…she’s been that little bit immature physically so given a bit of time she’s developed really well,” he said. “Her trials have been sharp. I think she’s a quality filly… she’s a progressive filly we should see more of.”

Compensation chasing firmer ground at Rosehill

Bjorn Baker’s three-year-old gelding Compensation (Written Tycoon) will look to improve on his Warwick Farm debut placing when he returns at Rosehill on Monday, with connections keen to see him on a firmer surface. The son of Written Tycoon (Iglesia) performed creditably first-up but Baker’s racing manager Luke Hilton said the gelding’s action was blunted by the conditions. “It was a good effort, the track played against him,” Hilton told Racing NSW. “We haven’t had many Written Tycoons that get through a softish track, he just didn’t stretch out and let down like he had in his trials and at home. “Rachel [King] said in his trials he’s a fast horse and he really gets low and stretches right out and he didn’t feel like that on the wetter surface.” Connections opted against chasing a drier track at Gosford, instead targeting the 1100-metre event at Rosehill, with conditions expected to suit. “We thought about running at Gosford because of a dry track but we’ve waited for the 1100 metres at Rosehill, rail out, all looks well – we just want a good enough surface,” Hilton said.

Gallop to decide Gin Twist’s Caulfield return

A track gallop on Monday will determine whether Gin Twist (Home Affairs) runs again this preparation, with the Lindsay Park juvenile a possible starter in Saturday’s Redoute’s Choice Stakes (Listed, 1200m) at Caulfield. The Ben, Will and JD Hayes-trained filly was a beaten favourite when third in the Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) at Flemington last start, but has pulled up well. "We'll make a decision on Monday whether she runs or not after she does some work," Ben Hayes said. "We feel that one, she raced a bit fresh last week and two, she didn't handle the heavy track, but she has pulled up fine. It is a good opportunity for her and if she doesn't work well, we won't run her, but if she works well, we'll run her." Gin Twist was a winner of the Festival Stakes (Listed, 1000m) earlier in the campaign, when beating stablemate La Gitana (Home Affairs) by 1.8 lengths. The stable is keen to give her another opportunity at 1200 metres on firmer ground before heading for a spell. “I think she is a very fast horse, and 1200 metres is her limit,” Hayes said. “But it’s hard to judge her off that run on a Heavy 8. We can find out if she can run the trip and then we’ll know how to place her next prep.”

Sheza Alibi set for Golden Eagle after Doncaster demolition

Scintillating Doncaster Mile (Gr 1, 1600m) winner Sheza Alibi (Saxon Warrior) will bypass the remainder of the autumn and be set for a spring campaign centred around the $10 million Golden Eagle (1500m) and Melbourne’s Champions Day.

The Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman-trained filly delivered a staggering performance at Randwick on Saturday, putting 4.3 lengths on her rivals in a display that has drawn comparisons to Winx (Street Cry) and her grandsire Deep Impact (Sunday Silence).

Despite brief consideration of a back-up into Saturday’s Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m), Moody confirmed the three-year-old would now head for a break.

“All over now; she’ll have a well-deserved break,” Moody told RSN.

“At this point, we’re arguably pointed towards the Golden Eagle. She’ll resume in Melbourne and we’ll work our way towards maybe the Golden Eagle, and then back to Melbourne for Champions Day.”

Moody said the plan had always been to keep her autumn light following a demanding previous campaign.

“She’d been in work a hell of a long time…travelled the length and breadth of the country,” he said. “She only had a short break to get ready for these races. That can be quite telling.”

A $10,000 online purchase, Sheza Alibi’s Doncaster win has rated among the best Randwick mile performances on record, with analyst Dominic Beirne likening it to elite efforts of the modern era.

Moody admitted the scale of the performance had left connections stunned. “It’s pretty staggering,” he said. “You’ve just got to enjoy the moment…let’s hope we can spell her and bring her back for a nice spring campaign.”

Bred To Win returns to screens tonight

Rue De Royale breaks through million-dollar barrier

Consistent Kiwi-bred Rue De Royale (Per Incanto) broke through the A$1 million earnings mark with victory in the Geoff Murphy Handicap (1200m) at Caulfield on Saturday. The Tony and Calvin McEvoy-trained gelding improved his record to three wins and eight placings from 26 starts, with his career highlighted by multiple stakes performances, including seconds in the VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes (Gr 2, 1400m) and Blue Sapphire Stakes (Gr 3, 1400m). “He’s won a lot of money,” McEvoy said. “We’ve placed this horse really aggressively, and I probably left him entire for a year too long. We just felt that he might have had a stakes win in him, but we never quite got there. Since he’s been gelded, he’s become very tough, very honest and a very good racehorse.” Ridden by Molly Bourke, Rue De Royale travelled outside the leader before taking control at the 250 metres and holding off Duchess Zou (Zoustar) by 0.2 lengths. McEvoy said future options ahead could include The Goodwood (Gr 1, 1200m). “Every time we’ve run him in a big race, he’s run well, so you wouldn’t shy away from that,” he said.

Girl Talk earns stakes tilt

Consistent mare Girl Talk (Zed) will get her chance at stakes level when she lines up in the Manawatu Breeders Stakes (Gr 3, 1040m) at Wanganui on Easter Monday. The Stephen Nickalls-trained four-year-old has built a solid record this season, winning four of her 14 starts, including a last-start victory over 1600 metres at the track, encouraging connections to target black type with the daughter of Zed (Zabeel). “That was a super win and her starts prior to that were very good,” he said. “She is really happy… she has bounced through that race well and she is doing everything right.” Nickalls said barrier one could prove an advantage, depending on how the track plays. “It just depends on how Wanganui plays on whether it is a good thing or bad thing,” he said.

JPN: Derby winner Croix Du Nord claims third Grade 1

Kitasan Black (Black Tide) colt Croix Du Nord (4 c ex Rising Cross, by Cape Cross) brought up his third Grade 1 victory with a strong performance in Sunday’s Osaka Hai (Gr 1, 2000m) at Hanshin. Last year’s Japanese Derby (Gr 1, 2400m) winner settled midfield before working into the race, asserting dominance in the straight to defeat Meisho Tabaru (Gold Ship) by three-quarters of a length with Danon Decile (Epiphaneia) a further length away in third. The Northern Farm-bred four-year-old, out of the Cape Cross (Green Desert) mare Rising Cross, continues to build an elite record and has now secured a berth in the Irish Champion Stakes (Gr 1, 1m 2f) later this year. He is one of 13 Group-level winners for Kitasan Black, whose headline performers include multiple Group/Grade 1 winner Equinox.

Five for Sottsass

Shizunai Stallion Station resident Sottsass (Siyouni) registered his fifth individual stakes winner on Sunday when Segall (3 c ex Spain Burg, by Sageburg) stormed home to land the Prix la Force (Gr 3, 1800m) at Longchamp. Trained by Andre Fabre and ridden by Marvin Grandin, the three-year-old colt went from last to first in the final 400 metres, showing a good turn of foot between runners to return the half-length winner of the Group 3 contest. Favourite Zaraki (Zarak) was second, with fellow Zarak (Dubawi) colt Gusto another short head away in third. Bred by White Birch Farm and Scea Haras De Saint Pair, the winner was a €90,000 purchase for Oceanic Bloodstock at the 2024 Arqana Deauville August Yearling Sale and races in the colours of the Ecurie David R Layani family. A former Coolmore sire, 2020 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Gr 1, 2400m) hero Sottsass was sold to continue his stud career in Japan in 2024.

US: Banner day for Gun Runner headed by Blue Grass winner Further Ado

Gun Runner (Candy Ride) continued a remarkable run of elite results across the United States on Saturday, producing a trio of high-class three-year-old performers that underlined his growing influence as a leading sire of Classic contenders.

Headlining the haul was Further Ado (3 c ex Sky Dreamer, by Sky Mesa), who became the 13th individual elite-level winner for his sire with a standout performance in the Blue Grass Stakes (Gr 1, 9f) at Keeneland. The Brad Cox-trained colt powered clear to win by 11 lengths, stamping himself as a major player for the Kentucky Derby (Gr 1, 10f) at Churchill Downs next month.

“He was dominant,” the winning trainer said. “We expected him to move forward off [a runner-up finish in] the Tampa Bay Derby, and he did. Hopefully we’re as good in four weeks as we were today. If he is, he’ll be a player in the Derby.”

Purchased by Spendthrift Farm for US$550,000 at the Ocala Spring 2YO Sale last year, Further Ado is a half-brother to dual Group scorer Kimbear (Temple City) out of Sky Mesa (Pulpit) mare Sky Dreamer.

The son of Candy Ride had earlier welcomed his 58th individual stakes winner when Always A Runner (3 f ex Always Carina, by Malibu Moon) maintained her unbeaten record with a determined victory in the Gazelle Stakes (Gr 3, 9f) at Aqueduct.

Having just her second start, the Chad Brown-trained filly settled well off the speed before producing a sharp turn of foot, slicing though along the rail before finishing over the top of Pashmina (Constitution) to score by one and a quarter lengths and secure valuable Kentucky Oaks (Gr 1, 9f) qualifying points.

Chad Brown admitted a potential Oaks tilt would test the lightly raced filly. “She’s only had two starts, and it’s a fair question,” he said. “I don’t think I could answer it like I would know for sure. I think it could go both ways. Big risk, big reward.”

Bred by Three Chimneys Farm, who stand Gun Runner and retain interest in the filly, Always A Runner was a $1.05 million purchase for owner Douglas Scharbauer at the 2024 Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

Gun Runner’s dominance extended to Santa Anita, where fellow filly Meaning (3 f ex Figure Of Speech, by Into Mischief) led home a quinella for her sire in the Santa Anita Oaks (Gr 2, 8.5f) – defeating Brooklyn Blonde by two lengths.

Trained by Michael McCarthy, the last-start Listed winner showed professionalism to overcome interference in running before asserting late, enhancing her credentials as another Oaks contender.

"I felt good in the stretch, but I felt a lot better after crossing the line. We'll get them both to Churchill and prepare from there. This sets her up well for Churchill." McCarthy said.

Gun Runner is standing for a fee of US$250,000 (approx. AU$362,750).

Ten for Yaupon

Spendthrift Farm sire Yaupon notched up his tenth individual stakes winner when his son Albus (3 c ex Adream, by Benardini) took out Saturday’s Wood Memorial Stakes (Gr 2, 9f) at Aqueduct, securing his place in next month’s Kentucky Derby. Trained by Riley Mott, the colt powered clear in the straight to defeat the fast-finishing outsider Right To Party (Constitution) by a length and a quarter. Third placegetter Ocelli (Connect) was just a neck further away. The victory marked Mott’s first in New York’s premier Derby prep race, following in the footsteps of his Hall of Fame father Bill. “I’m so tickled… we put in a lot of hard work every day and this is my life’s work,” Mott said. Bred by Susan Casner in Kentucky, Albus is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Song Of Spring (Spring At Last) out of unplaced Benardini (A.P. Indy) mare Adream. Yaupon stands for a fee of US$60,000 (approx. AU$87,060).

Second for Runhappy

So Happy (3 c ex So Cunning, by Blame) provided his sire Runhappy (Super Saver) with his second individual Grade 1 winner when taking out the Santa Anita Derby (Gr 1, 9f) at Santa Anita on Saturday. Trained by Mark Glatt, the three-year-old stepped up in trip to defeat his rivals by two and three-quarter lengths and book his place in next month’s Kentucky Derby (Gr 1, 10f). The second stakes winner for the sire out of a Blame (Arch) mare, So Happy is out of So Cunning and hails from the family of dual Grade 1 winner Silver Wagon (Wagon Limit). Leverett S. Miller bred the colt in Kentucky, and Glatt bought him for $150,000 at the 2025 Ocala Breeders' Sales March Sale. He is one of 20 stakes winners for Grade 1-winning sprinter Runhappy (Super Saver) from six crops to date. The son of Super Saver (Maria's Mon) was sold to South Korea last year to continue his stud career.

US: So Happy defies pedigree to land Santa Anita Derby

So Happy delivered a career-defining performance with his victory in the Santa Anita Derby, overcoming distance doubts to confirm a place among the leading contenders for the Kentucky Derby. The colt proved too strong late under Mike Smith, pulling clear of race favourite Potente (Into Mischief) after stalking the speed throughout. The win marked the trainer’s first success in the prestigious Grade 1 and carried added significance, coming in the wake of a difficult period for trainer Mark Glatt and his family, just two months after the death of his wife of 25 years, Dena. "We have had an overwhelming amount of support that's helped us get through this very tough time," Glatt said. "[Dena] got that horse there today. I'm just so thankful to the owners [Hans and Ana Maron and Robert Norman] for giving me this opportunity. They are big contributors to my stable. I just appreciate their friendship. Since Dena's passing, they've called me every night. They've just been tremendous."

US: Street Boss filly lands Monrovia Stakes

Street Boss (Street Cry) filly Spirited Boss (4 f ex Spirited Storm, by Stormy Atlantic) added another Group winner to her Darley sire’s record on Saturday, producing a strong late surge to take out the Monrovia Stakes (Gr 3, 6.5f) at Santa Anita. Trained by Jose D’Angelo, the four-year-old came from last under Mike Smith to defeat Amorita (Liam’s Map) by three-quarters of a length, with favourite Queen Maxima (Bucchero) a further length and a quarter away in third. A homebred for Tag Stables, she was registering her second stakes success following last year’s Sanibel Island Stakes (Listed, 7.5f) and is out of Spirited Storm (Stormy Atlantic), making her a half-sister to stakes performers Uncaptured Spirit (Uncaptured) Uncaptured Storm (Uncaptured) and Spirited Sol (Soldat), from the family of Group winners Slipstream (Invincible Spirit), Porte Bonheur (Hennessy), Jack d’Or (Maurice) and Intuition (Shalaa). Spirited Boss becomes another contributor to Street Boss’ global record, with the sire now responsible for 34 Group/Graded winners and 88 stakes winners worldwide.

30 for Into Mischief

Eclatant (4 f ex Downside Scenario, by Scat Daddy) gave Spendthrift Farm’s stalwart sire Intro Mischief his 30th individual elite-level winner courtesy of her victory in Saturday’s Madison Stakes (Gr 1, 7f) at Keeneland. The four-year-old filly dramatically ran down Grand Job (Justify) in the stretch to score by a nose, with R Disaster (Awesome Slew) a further six lengths adrift in third. The Brad Cox-trained winner is a homebred for Stonestreet Stables out of Scat Daddy (Johannesburg) mare Downside Scenario, making him a brother to Grade 2 winner Mutasaabeq. Into Mischief stands for a fee of US$250,000 (approx. AU$362,750).

21 for Oscar Performance

Storm’s Wake (3 f ex Amber Storm, by Night Of Thunder) provided her Mill Ridge Farm sire Oscar Performance (Kitten's Joy) with his 21st individual stakes winner when claiming Saturday’s Appalachian Stakes (Gr 2, 1m) at Keeneland. The Brian Lynch-trained filly came from the clouds under Joel Rosario to defeat Imaginationthelady (Not This Time) by a neck, with a further head back to Lion Lake (Dark Angel) in a thrilling finish. Bred and raced by William Werner, Storm’s Wake is out of Night Of Thunder mare Amber Storm, herself a half-sister to the Grade 3-placed Zobenigo (Orpen). Oscar Performance is standing for a fee of US$60,000 (approx. AU$87,060).
