4.20 Newcastle, Mdn, £5,000, 2yo, 8f 5y (AWT) BOMBAY MARINE (War Front) is a $525,000 KEESEP son of the GII Alcibiades S. winner Bel Air Beauty (Smart Strike) who is introduced by John Gosden for Godolphin on the Polytrack. The half-brother to the GII Kennedy Road S. scorer Stacked Deck (First Samurai) encounters Qatar Racing Limited's Lethal Impact (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), a David Simcock-trained son of the MGSW and MG1SP Musical Way (Fr) (Gold Away {Ire}) whose full-sister Mikki Queen (Jpn) captured last year's G1 Yushun Himba and G1...

Cheveley Park Stud have released their stallion fees for 2017 with 23-year-old stalwart Pivotal (GB) (Polar Falcon {GB}) still heading the roster at the Newmarket stud at £40,000, a £5,000 reduction on his 2016 fee. A more significant cut to Dutch Art (GB) (Medicean {GB})'s fee means the 12–year-old will be available to breeders for £25,000 in 2017 compared to £40,000 earlier this year. New on the roster for next season is Group 1 winning sprinter Twilight Son (GB) (Kyllachy {GB}) who is introduced at a fee of £10,000. “At...

Countless figures have voiced their support for Freddy Tylicki–who, it was announced on Friday, is paralysed from the waist down after a horrific fall at Kempton on Monday–and many have also shown their support by donating to a Go Fund Me account. By Saturday evening, after being active for 17 hours, the account had already raised over £78,000, well past its £20,000 target. The 30-year-old Tylicki, who was champion apprentice in 2009, had enjoyed a banner year in 2016, winning his first Group 1 aboard Speedy Boarding (GB) (Shamardal) in...

The French-trained Elliptique (Ire) and the German Potemkin (Ger), both by New Approach (Ire), will rematch today at Capannelle in the Premio Roma GBI Racing, the last Group 1 of the European season. Elliptique won the first round, July 31 in the G1 Bayrisches Zuchtrennen at Munich, leaving his rival in third place, beaten one length at the end of a clean race with no hard luck stories. Elliptique will be the first runner at Capannelle in 10 years for trainer Andre Fabre, who won the (then) G1 Derby Italiano...

Jockey Freddy Tylicki is paralysed from the waist down due to spinal cord injuries sustained in a fall at Kempton on Monday. Tylicki was one of four jockeys to fall in a pile-up and the worst injured. He underwent surgery during the week at St George's Hospital in London. Lisa Hancock, CEO of the Injured Jockeys Fund, said, "After his fall at Kempton Park Racecourse earlier this week, Freddy Tylicki was transferred to St George's Hospital in London, where he has since undergone surgery to his spine. His surgical team...

European visitors to the Breeders' Cup have never found the land of the free quite so divided. But both sides of this bitter race for the White House would doubtless be united in bemusement that Britain's only runner in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint--sired by an Australian migrant, foaled in Ireland, raised in France--should bear the name Home Of The Brave (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}). In his trainer, however, they would recognise the kind of talent and ambition bound to thrive in any land of opportunity. Success here would seal...

The inaugural single-session Tattersalls Ireland Flat Foal and Breeding Stock Sale took place on Friday, with Sheikh Hamdan's Derrinstown Stud selling the two top-priced lots. The 9-year-old mare Alsalwa (Ire) (Nayef) (lot 147) topped the table when selling for €78,000, in foal to Exceed and Excel (Aus), to Yeomanstown Stud. The dual winner is from the family of Japanese champion racehorse and sire Deep Impact (Jpn) (Sunday Silence). It was a sizeable price gap to the 4-year-old mare Naizah (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) (lot 180), who was bought by Atlantic Bloodstock...

There's long been discussion in the bloodstock industry regarding the number of mares covered by each stallion and at least two new sires for 2017 will have their books limited. Following Paul Makin's assertion last month that Marcel (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) will cover no mare than 80 mares during his first season at the National Stud in Newmarket, Joe Foley of Ballyhane Stud has announced that all five of his stallions will have their books restricted to a maximum of 125 mares. That includes Ballyhane's most recent recruit, the G2...

Seven wildcards have been added to Arqana's Autumn Sale Nov. 14 to 16, and will go through the ring during the opening session. They include 2-year-old colt Domfront (Ire) (Royal Applause {GB}) (lot 160), who has won twice this year for trainer Nicolas Clement including a Chantilly conditions race on the all-weather Oct. 24. There are five wildcard spots still available.

Dual Group 1 winner Yankee Rose (Aus) (All American {Aus}), who beat just one home as the A$1.95 favourite in Thursday's G1 Crown Oaks at Flemington, has emerged from that race with a bone chip in her left knee, trainer David Vandyke told Racenet.com.au. "Yankee Rose was found to be lame this morning with filling in her left knee," Vandyke said. "X-rays have revealed a chip. She will be operated on next Thursday. We hope to have her back for the winter." Yankee Rose had previously established herself among the...

Leading French sire Kendargent (Fr) will stand for €22,000 at Haras de Colleville in 2017. Kendargent started at a fee as low as €500 but quickly gained acclaim by turning out excellent numbers with his early small crops, and he gets a fee raise next year after standing for €18,000 the last two seasons. Kendargent enjoyed another successful season on the track, his representatives including G1 King's Stand S. third Goken (Fr) and G3 Prix de la Porte Maillot winner Jimmy Two Times (Fr). In the sales ring, a Kendargent...

Even as Henry Candy followed Limato (Ire) (Tagula {Ire}) through the backstretch on Thursday morning, the rising sun suddenly flooded both the lane to the racetrack and the beckoning stretch itself with a dazzling stream of light. It really did seem as though his champion's path to the GI Breeders' Cup Mile might be paved with gold. Admittedly Candy himself presented a faintly incongruous spectacle, this septuagenarian traditionalist entering the spirit of things so gamely that he was even sporting a baseball cap. But while his own bearing remained as...
