Juvenile Sales Season Kicks Off in Ocala TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 2018 THE TDN DERBY TOP 12 JUVENILE SALES SEASON By T.D. Thornton KICKS OFF IN OCALA It doesn=t really matter which side you take on this past weekend=s GII San Felipe S. disqualification. The undeniable fact is that the controversy has sparked some much-needed interest in the GI Kentucky Derby chase by providing a bona fide rivalry at the top end of the division, and a close finish between two very talented colts only whets the appetite for what is to come further down the pipeline. Deeper down the list, we have a cluster of capable sophomores who might be one race away from muscling into top-tier contention, and the bottom end of this week=s Top 12 features several surprising new shooters emerging as fresh threats.

Breeze shows were held Mar. 8, 9 and 10 with windier weather yielding slower times on day one. A total of 19 horses stopped the clock in :9 4/5 for a furlong, while one colt worked the fastest quarter of :20 1/5. AThe first day [of the breeze show] was a bit of a challenge--the winds certainly kicked up--but the second two days were very good,@ said OBS President Tom Ventura. AUltimately, the horses had a good opportunity to show their stuff. Just walking around right now [Sunday] morning, there's a lot of activity here. We're looking forward to the sale.@ Consignor Ciaran Dunne of Wavertree Stables also noted the difference in weather conditions between the showcase days, but didn=t think it would have much of an impact on prices. AThe first day was very tough,@ Dunne said while keeping a close eye on Sunday=s Arsenal vs. Watford contest.

    Welcome to the November 2014 edition of the Donn McClean Racing newsletter. Looking ahead These are the golden weekends of the National Hunt season. Morgiana Hurdle/Paddy Power Gold Cup weekend has just passed, and the schedule over the next few weeks now, leading up to the end of the year, is just about as good as it gets: 22nd/23rd November: Ascot Hurdle, Betfair Chase, Troytown Chase 29th/30th November: Hennessy Gold Cup, Hatton’s Grace Hurdle, Drinmore Chase 6th/7th December: Tingle Creek Chase, John Durkan Chase 13th/14th December: December Gold Cup, International Hurdle 20th/21st December: Long Walk Hurdle, Ladbroke Hurdle 26th-29th December: King George VI Chase, Lexus Chase, Christmas Hurdle, Paddy Power Chase, Welsh Grand National Over the next few weeks, we are probably going to see Sprinter Sacre, Simonsig, Cue Card, Silviniaco Conti, Faugheen, The New One, Djakadam, Smad Place, Bobs Worth, Lord Windermere, Vautour, and just about every other top National Hunt horse in training. The six-week period that runs from now until the end of the calendar year is probably the most exciting six-week period of the season! Looking back After a good end to the Flat season, Private Clients of Donn McClean Racing have also made a good start to the National Hunt season. Open Eagle (advised ante post at 12/1) ran out an easy winner of the November Handicap at Doncaster to ensure that the Flat season ended on a high, and the National Hunt season got off to a good start with the Open meeting at Cheltenham last weekend.
