Typically, the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Kentucky Oaks--as well as the rest of the Triple Crown trail for that matter--are long over by the time the major yearling auctions take place. But with those marquee sophomore races pushed back to the first weekend in September, buyers could have a chance to purchase a sibling to this year=s Derby or Oaks winner--or next month=s GI Preakness S. hero--just days after their victory as many of the top contenders have close relatives in either the Fasig or Keeneland catalogues.

  • Nixon Has Big Plans for Grantley Acres
    TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2019 NIXON HAS BIG PLANS FOR LUCULLAN MAKES THE GRADE IN KNICKERBOCKER by Alan Carasso GRANTLEY ACRES Having flirted with graded stakes success on a couple of previous occasions, Godolphin homebred Lucullan (Hard Spun) got over that hurdle with a fast-finishing victory in Monday=s GII Knickerbocker S. at Belmont Park. The immaculately bred 5-year-old settled in fourth position leaving the stretch as longshot Dr. Edgar (Lookin At Lucky) set only a moderate pace in advance of GISW Glorious Empire (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), who was content to stalk from second despite his penchant to lead in his races. Favored Catholic Boy (More Than Ready) was purposely kept in the clear from third down the backstretch. Dr. Edgar galloped them along at an even clip, going by the three-furlong pole in 1:12.02, but Lucullan was beginning to warm up to the task as he circled five wide into the lane.
