Easy Pisa (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}) became the first horse to carry the orange-and-blue colors of prominent owner Mike Repole in Italy when validating short-odds favoritism in the Premio Walter Dainotto, a 1200-meter event for debutantes at the San Siro in Milan on Sunday, May 10.

Botti indicated after the race that he is considering running the filly in the Derby Italiano on June 2 ahead of the Oaks d'Italia. His...

The consistent Goldenas (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}) secured his first stakes victory on his first try in Sunday's €640,200 2200-metre G2 Premio 140 Derby Italiano in Rome. A 12-1 shot on Sunday, the bay held the lead for a few strides from the bell, and soon settled to stalk from midpack. In a solid rhythm by the midway point, Goldenas was asked for his best a half-mile from the wire and began to make in roads toward the front. In charge shortly before the 400-metre mark, Goldenas drew off to...
