From San Luis Rey to the Winner=S Circle Cont TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2017 FROM SAN LUIS REY TO RISING TIDE BRINGS NEW STALLIONS TO MARYLAND THE WINNER=S CIRCLE by Ben Massam Ask any veteran horseman or horsewoman in Maryland and they will tell you all about the ebb and flow of the local Thoroughbred industry in recent years. Following years of decline at the hands of a seemingly ambivalent state government, Maryland hit rock bottom in 2012 with an all-time low foal crop of 369. But in recent years, as renewed commitment from the state prompted a steady influx of funding from casinos and a corresponding rise in breeders= incentives and purses, the Old Line State=s breeding industry has seen steady growth by nearly all metrics. If the growth of Maryland=s stallion market is any indication, the period of relative prosperity will continue for years to come. Cont. p4 (click here) IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Greyvitos | Dustin Orona Photography MUHAARAR’S EARLY SUCCESS FOR SHADWELL by Ben Massam Gary King chats with Shadwell’s Stud Director, Richard When Greyvitos (Malibu Moon) crossed the wire in front in Lancaster, regarding the early sales’ success of first-crop foal Sunday night=s $400,000 Springboard Mile S. at Remington Park, sire Muhaarar (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}).

GI Kentucky Derby trail, but also demonstrated a level of maturity that is hard to find in young horses [video]. A week- and-a-half earlier, the Adam Kitchingman trainee and his fellow barnmates were among the first horses to be evacuated from San Luis Rey Downs as the training facility was becoming engulfed by the Lilac wildfire, which ultimately led to 46 equine deaths and the destruction of much of the property. After avoiding the worst of the devastating situation, Greyvitos regrouped at Santa Anita Park and ultimately shipped to Oklahoma shortly thereafter, looking to build on his win in the Nov. 11 GIII Bob Hope S. at Del Mar. AHe went from San Luis Rey with a good friend of mine--he went to their farm, and then he went to Santa Anita,@ Kitchingman said. AHe had smoke around him and stuff, but he didn=t have to deal with the fire. I didn=t have to turn him loose, but I=m sure it was still pretty traumatic.@ Greyvitos passed his test at Remington with flying colors despite drawing widest in a field of 12, working his way over to secure an ideal stalking position beneath jockey Victor Espinoza and rallying to notch a 2 1/4-length score over a persistent Combatant (Scat Daddy).

  • Exclusive Topics for Horse Racing in Japan - Spring Edition
    Exclusive Topics for Horse Racing in Japan - Spring Edition - March 2019 The Japan Racing Association The JRA’s 2019 horse racing season will start in earnest with the three-year-old classic trials in March as established horses begin to prepare towards the spring G1 events. In this special Spring edition of our international newsletter, we are pleased to bring you up to date on the progress of last year’s stars and this season’s key runners, part of our ongoing effort to support your reporting of JRA events. High Expectations for Almond Eye’s Further Success Challenges abroad by Japanese-trained horses resulted in one or more G1 titles every year from 2011 to 2017, but expectations are high for renewed success this spring when a number of top Japanese runners will seek success against international competitors. The focus is centered on Almond Eye (JPN, F4, by Lord Kanaloa), JRA’s 2018 Horse of the Year and winner of the fillies’ Triple Crown, who is slated to run in the Dubai Turf (G1, 1,800m) on March 30. Trainer Sakae Kunieda explained the reason why he chose the Dubai Turf instead of the Dubai Sheema Classic (G1, 2,410m), stating that “the filly is more comfortable at 1,800 meters” and that “Japanese runners have come up with favorable results at this distance in the past three Dubai Turf races, producing two wins and a second.” The coming Dubai Turf will be Almond Eye’s first start in four months, since she claimed the Japan Cup (G1, 2,400m) in a record 2:20.6.

  • The 77Th Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas
    FROM: Masahiro Usuda General Manager, Media & Publicity Department, THE JAPAN RACING ASSOCIATION (JRA) DATE: April 16, 2017 SUBJECT: RESULTS OF THE 77TH SATSUKI SHO (JAPANESE 2000 GUINEAS, G1) The Satsuki Sho, which is the first of the three legs of JRA’s Triple Crown Classics for three-year-olds including the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby, G1, 2,400m) and the Kikuka Sho (Japanese St. Leger, G1, 3,000m), is comparable to British Two Thousand Guineas. The “Yokohama Norinsho Shoten Yonsai Yobiuma”, the precursor of the Satsuki Sho, was first run over 1,850 meters at Yokohama Racecourse in 1939 then moved its venue to Tokyo Racecourse four years later before given its current name and shifted again to Nakayama Racecourse in 1949—the distance was also altered to 2,000 meters in the following year. Seven of the past Satsuki Sho champions since 2005 subsequently received the JRA Best Three-Year-Old Colt Award, in recognition of their outstanding performances throughout the year—Deep Impact (JPN, Sunday Silence) in 2005, Meisho Samson (JPN, by Opera House) in 2006, Victoire Pisa (JPN, by Neo Universe) in 2010, Orfevre (JPN, by Stay Gold) in 2011, Gold Ship (JPN, by Stay Gold) in 2012, Isla Bonita (JPN, by Fuji Kiseki) in 2014 and Duramente (JPN, by King Kamehameha) in 2015. Triple Crown winners Deep Impact and Orfevre were also named the Horse of the Year. This year’s runners that came off three trial races were: Yayoi Sho (G2, 2,000m; Mar.5): winner Cadenas who marked his second consecutive graded victory following his win in the Kyoto Nisai Stakes (G3, 2,000m; Nov.26); runner-up My Style; third-place finisher Danburite; and Keisei Hai (G3, 2,000m; Jan.15) champion Komano Impulse who was sixth.
