In addition to the 2000 Guineas, which he won in race record time, Kameko won last year=s G1 Vertem Futurity Trophy. He was fourth in three consecutive Group 1s this summer before besting older horses in the G2 Joel S. and is set to run in the Breeders= Cup. Sheikh Fahad Al-Thani, chairman of Qatar Racing, said, AMy brothers and I are delighted to own another superstar in Kameko, whose record-breaking 2- and 3-year-old campaigns will live long in our memory. We cannot wait to unveil him to breeders.@ Trainer Andrew Balding added, AKameko is without doubt the best horse I=ve trained. He has all the attributes of a top-class miler and is a striking horse to look at.

The apple of Australia’s eye bowed out in the most fitting of styles at her beloved Randwick yesterday, winning her third Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) and etching her name further into the record books she has so frequently re-written. Continued on page 2>> Credit: Getty Images | 1 | Brought to you by ‘What a journey it has been’ | 2 | Sunday, April 14, 2019 << Continued from page 1 It was to be the perfect send off - her 33rd consecutive victory and 37th overall to equal the great Phar Lap (Night Raid); her coronation as the highest prize-money earner of all time; and, perhaps most fittingly of all, Winx provided her trainer Chris Waller with his 100th Group 1 victory - a staggering quarter of which have come courtesy of the great mare herself. While the number 13 may be unlucky for some, April 13 has been fortuitous for two greats of the Australian Turf, with Winx’s swansong coming exactly six years to the day since the great Black Caviar (Bel Esprit) signed off with her 25th and final career victory in the T J Smith Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) at the same venue.

Authoritative when taking the Listed Devoy S. over this 10-furlong trip on contrasting soft ground at Naas Mar. 28, the 2019 G3 Ballysax S. and G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial S. winner who was also a close fourth in that year=s G1 Epsom Derby is back on an even keel this term and was providing Aidan O=Brien with a third renewal in the last four runnings of a race which is becoming increasingly important to the operation. Settled fifth early, the bay was three lengths off the pace and looking in possible trouble two out but after hitting that flat spot stayed on to collar Thundering Nights (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) near the line for a half-length success.

  • Maximum Effort
    SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 2020 MAXIMUM EFFORT HALLADAY COAST-TO-COAST IN FOURSTARDAVE by Alan Carasso When last seen, Harrell Ventures LLC=s Halladay (War Front) was wrangled back off the pace and ultimately ran fourth in the GII Bernard Baruch H. July 26, allowing Somelikeithotbrown (Big Brown) to post a relatively hassle-free, front-running victory. With that failed experiment in the rear view, it was back to pedal-to-the-metal tactics in Saturday=s GI Fourstardave H. and the gray colt repelled a late bid from defending champion Got Stormy (Get Stormy) to land the spoils. Casa Creed (Jimmy Creed) rallied to complete the trifecta. The victory earns Halladay a fees-paid berth into the GI Breeders= Cup Mile at Keeneland Nov. 7. Not the quickest away from the machine, Halladay was asked to pick up the bit and secured the front passing under the wire for the first time, as Got Stormy, Without Parole (GB) (Frankel Maximum Security all alone at the finish | Horsephotos {GB}) and Emmaus (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) did the early chasing. Cont. p4 by Alan Carasso Whether you love him or have mixed feelings about him, there is one thing about Maximum Security (New Year=s Day) that is IN TDN EUROPE TODAY very hard to dispute: he is an outstanding racehorse. BOLGER HOMEBRED DELIVERS IN FUTURITY Prohibitively favored at 40 cents on the dollar to take Jim Bolger homebred Mac Swiney (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) Saturday=s GI TVG Pacific Classic in his second start since being caused an upset in the G2 Futurity S.
