Dylan Davis

'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Always A Runner (Gun Runner) wore down pacesetter Pashmina (Constitution) in the final sixteenth to win Saturday's GIII Gazelle Stakes and earn 100 points on the Road to the Kentucky Oaks. The least experienced runner in the field with just one start under her belt, the seven-figure yearling impressed at Tampa Bay Downs Feb. 6, drawing off to win that debut by 6 1/2 lengths. Lacking any early speed from the gate on a surface that had taken a bit of rain just before...

Over three months after a spill at Aqueduct hospitalized him with serious injuries, jockey Dylan Davis will return to the races Saturday with a pair of mounts at Gulfstream Park, including one in the GIII Honey Fox Stakes for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. That Nov. 14 incident, in which Davis's mount Tarpaulin (Leofric) fell over a stricken horse in front of them, resulted in a laundry list of ailments in what Davis referred to as the most serious fall of his career. "Three months [off], 11 broken bones, a collapsed...

Having been released from Northwell Hospital, where he was sent after a serious spill on Nov. 14 at Aqueduct, in which he suffered serious injuries, Dylan Davis is back home and expects to return to riding sometime in January or February. Davis was given an update and the predicted time of return by his orthopedist after a visit Monday. "It's better now that I am home," Davis said. "I spent 10 days in the hospital after that accident. I wound up getting surgery on my right collarbone. That was all...

Jockey Dylan Davis, who was injured in a spill Friday at Aqueduct, will be out of action indefinitely according to NYRA in a note released Saturday morning. Davis's agent, Mike Migliore, said that the jockey "sustained a broken right collarbone, multiple fractured ribs and a partially collapsed lung." Davis was aboard Tarpaulin (Leofric) when Heavyweight Champs (Solomini) fell near the three-eighths pole unseating jockey Ricardo Santana, Jr. Tarpaulin made contact with Santana, Jr. and unseated Davis, who was placed on a backboard and immediately transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center....

Jockey Dylan Davis suffered a broken right collarbone in a spill that affected four horses Friday afternoon at Aqueduct, his agent Mike Migliore told the TDN's Bill Finley. Migliore updated late Friday that Davis also has multiple fractured ribs and a partially collapsed lung. Heavyweight Champs (Solomini), the third betting choice in a $17,500 claimer with a non-winners-of-three-lifetime condition, was a handy third and three wide tracking the pace into the turn, but broke down and fell three-eighths of a mile from the wire. He unseated his rider Ricardo Santana,...

Klaravich Stable and Chad Brown might be the only ones in New York having a better afternoon than Coolmore America's young stallion Tiz the Law. 3-year-old filly Fully Subscribed (Tiz the Law) became the fourth winner on the Saturday card at Aqueduct for the owner/trainer combo, capturing the GII Mother Goose Stakes. Her win came just 60 minutes after another 3-year-old, Tiz Dashing (Tiz the Law) took down the GII Hill Prince Stakes in upset fashion on the grass for Sackatoga Stable. A classy debut winner going seven furlongs on...

Bravaro (Upstart) was sent off the 3-5 chalk on the back of a strong-figure debut victory going six furlongs over this surface Sept. 28 and was deftly manuevered across the heels of four of his five rivals nearing the entrance to the final furlong of Saturday's $200,000 Sleepy Hollow Stakes, leveling off beautifully beneath Dylan Davis to earn his first black-type victory in handy fashion. Not the quickest away from the inside gate in this field of six and a bit awkward through the early exchanges, the bay colt gradually...

Spendthrift Farm's freshman sire sensation Yaupon (by Uncle Mo) picked up a third 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Saturday as Local Knowledge ran the field down late to take the second race on the opening weekend of Keeneland's Fall Meet. Breaking from post 12, the 5-2 second choice never had a chance to save ground and was hung out wide nearly the entire trip under Dylan Davis. In no rush through the opening furlongs after an awkward start which saw him miss the break and come sideways from the...

7th-Saratoga, $100,000, Msw, 8-29, 2yo, 5 1/2fT, 1:03.31, fm, neck. ATTFIELD (c, 2, Vekoma--Graceful Witch, by Street Boss), the third longest shot on the board at 23-1, sprung the upset Friday in his career debut. Patiently handled early as 3-5 favorite Schwarzenegger (Not This Time) said "hasta la vista baby" to the field and opened up a sizeable advantage, Attfield split the group in fourth while making steady progress along the inside. With a quarter mile to run and the favorite still well clear but drifting out into the center...

Jockey Dylan Davis, who began a three-day suspension Sunday because of an infraction caused in a June 6 allowance at Saratoga, will also miss Thursday and Friday's cards, reports DRF. He was suspended by the New York stewards because of a ride aboard 'TDN Rising Star' Strategic Focus (Gun Runner), who crossed the wire first but was subsequently demoted to second behind stablemate Malarchuk (Nyquist). Both colts are trained by Chad Brown. Davis, who served a two-day suspension June 12-13 because of a whip violation stemming from a ride at...

Klaravich Stables' Dynamic Pricing (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) beat Excellent Truth (Ire) (Cotai Glory {Ire}) to a spot at a crucial stage in Friday's GI Just A Game Stakes at a very soggy Saratoga and outstprinted the 8-5 chalk to the wire to give trainer Chad Brown his eighth victory in the one-mile contest in its last nine renewals and a fourth in succession. Half of those eight Just A Game winners were ridden by Irad Ortiz, Jr., but he elected to jump off the last-out GIII Beaugay Stakes...

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The graveyard of champions strikes again. Tracy Farmer homebred La Cara (Street Sense) shot out to the front and never looked back, splashing home a three-length, wire-to-wire winner in Friday's GI DK Horse Acorn S. at rainy Saratoga. Look Forward (Bolt d'Oro) chased her around the track in second, finishing a neck better than third-place finisher Scottish Lassie (McKinzie). Previously unbeaten GI Kentucky Oaks heroine and 1-4 favorite Good Cheer (Medaglia d'Oro) suffered her first career defeat finishing fifth. Sent to the front by Dylan Davis,...
