Tiz the Law's Tariff Mindset Overcomes 'Taxing' Trip To Graduate First Out

Klaravich Stables' Tariff Mindset (Tiz the Law) never truly looked like validating favoritism until the final jump, when Flavien Prat threw him across the line for a highly improbable debut victory. A $250,000 Keeneland September graduate, the Mar. 22 foal traded at odds-on for a large portion of the wagering, but he drifted all the way out to just shy of 8-5 at the off, and he was immediately on the back foot when breaking slowly and pinched back a stride or two thereafter. Clearly resenting the kickback and climbing...

'The Good' Indeed: Galinda Dazzles in Aqueduct's East View

She had a lone start to her name when she came into this contest, but Galinda (Good Magic) proved defying gravity wasn't far from her capabilities as she floated home to win the East View Stakes. Entering into this black-type debut, the daughter of Good Magic was most recently seen breaking her maiden at first-asking Jan. 10 at this venue. In a duel nearly from the jump, she went wide for most of the trip and gamely held off a fresh challenger late to score by three-quarters of a length....

Manny Franco in New York
Six Wins for Franco at Aqueduct Thursday

Jockey Manny Franco booted home six winners Thursday on Aqueduct's nine-race card, including three consecutive victories to close the day.

"Every day, he tries to get the best mounts possible. I'm happy to have him on my side. I'm thankful for these opportunities." Franco kicked off the day with a win aboard Sea Vista (Street Sense) in a 6...

Aqueduct Updates: Friday's Big Winners Doing Well, Future Targets Planned

Aqueduct saw a fleet of prep races for major spring targets Friday, and the connections of those winners have largely reported good prognoses for their stars as they chart out future targets. Upset winner of the Withers Stakes Talk to Me Jimmy (Modernist) has reportedly come out of his 11-length tour-de-force in good form despite grabbing his front right quarter at some point during the contest. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez reports the colt was in good spirits Saturday morning but that a vet would look at it as a precaution. "Thank...

Modernist's Talk to Me Jimmy Dominates the Conversation, Wins Derby Points in Withers

It looked like a competitive field on paper, but Talk to Me Jimmy (Modernist) took the race to them right from the bell, and ran his rivals off their feet to secure 20 Kentucky Derby points in the Wither Stakes. Last seen breaking his maiden in a similar fashion Nov. 9 going gate-to-wire against state-bred maidens at this venue, he was unveiled Sept. 26 and ran an even third during the Belmont Big A meet. Out to set the pace after early contact from competition coming off the blocks, the...

Bolt d'Oro Filly Interstatelovesong Graduates With Panache At Big A

Interstatelovesong (Bolt d'Oro) was a game runner-up on debut to New York-bred Britain (Quality Road) over the local course Nov. 20. Bet down to 48 cents on the dollar here, the favorite fired from the rail gate and soon established a modest lead up the backstretch. The filly though was in firm control around the far turn and the homebred scampered down the lane to graduate by five lengths over Pulling Threads (Practical Joke). The winner's dam is responsible for a yearling colt by Game Winner. A 2024 Keeneland November...

Rice is also the leading owner on the NYRA circuit this year with 58 wins, and the conditioner credited her entire team, including assistant Marsha Barrs, for the...

Tiz the Law's Fully Subscribed Clear Winner of Comely

On paper, it appeared that the GIII Comely Stakes was Fully Subscribed (Tiz the Law)'s to lose following a strong victory in the GII Mother Goose Stakes over the same track and trip last month. Come race day, the chestnut filly never really gave her backers an anxious moment as she came from just off the pace to win by a comfortable 4-length margin over Quietside (Malibu Moon) at the Big A on Sunday. Sharp at the start, the Chad Brown trainee settled in an outside stalking position behind Kappa...

Chalky Just Beat The Odds Seizes Elite Power Stakes At Aqueduct

Just Beat the Odds (Munnings) was the shortest price on the tote in the now-renamed GIII Elite Power Stakes at the Big A on Saturday. The chalk did not disappoint his backers as he won his first stakes race for owner Donna Wright. An incredibly consistent performer dating back to his 3-year-old year, Just Beat the Odds has only finished off the board once over his 12-race career. Earlier this season after being gelded, the dark bay demolished an optional claiming field by six lengths in Ozone Park in early...

Oaks Points Go To Zany As She Runs Up Score In Demoiselle Stakes At Big A

There is nothing unpredictable when it comes to trainer Todd Pletcher's record in the GII Demoiselle Stakes because he has had his share of top flight winners like Stopcharging Maria (Tale of the Cat), Malathaat (Curlin) and Nest (Curlin). On Saturday in the 104th edition of the race at Aqueduct, the Hall of Famer's count hit 10 when his Repole-owned filly Zany (American Pharoah--Mo' Green, by Uncle Mo) looked stout as she motored home to nab 10 points on the road to the GI Kentucky Oaks. Zany's career started with...

Volatile's Fast Market Makes the Grade in Pebbles

Hit the Bid Racing Stable's Fast Market (Volatile) came flying late to win the GIII Pebbles Stakes at Aqueduct Sunday. The bay filly took nine tries to break her maiden over the Aqueduct lawn in September, but came right back to just miss in graded company when runner-up in the Oct. 18 GII Sands Points Stakes and was favored at 3-2 to make the grade Sunday. "She's just a very nice filly," said winning trainer John Terranova. "She finally put it all together in her last few starts and it's...

Juddmonte Homebred A Real 'Spice' Girl

8th-CD, $120k, Msw, 2yo, f, 6 1/2f, post time: 4:25 p.m. ET Juddmonte's MARJORAM (Quality Road) is the second foal to race from Cardamon (Pioneerof the Nile), a debut winner over this surface back in 2019 and already responsible for this year's GIII Mahony Stakes hero and similarly cleverly named Spiced Up, also a son of this Lane's End stallion. Cardamon is one of six winners out of Soothing Touch (Touch Gold), also the dam of MGISW Emollient (Empire Maker); SW & GISP Hofburg (Tapit); and SW & GSP Courtier...
