It all began with a pretty innocuous suggestion. Little did Craig Bernick know at the time but his mother Carol's plan to go and try to buy some colts instead of concentrating solely on fillies at the breeding stock sales would bear fruit at Royal Ascot less than two years down the line.  But in Nola Soul, one of five colt foals that Bernick purchased in the winter of 2024, the family now has a potential stallion prospect on their hands after the son of Justify backed up his impressive...

Craig Bernick's $220,000 Keeneland November graduate Nola Soul (Justify) is quite some way from being the finished article, but overcame greenness to secure an ultimately impressive debut success and a TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, rosette in Friday evening's Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Leopardstown. The seven-furlong heat's recent winners include Italy (Wootton Bassett), Scorthy Champ (Mehmas), Deepone (Study Of Man) and Alfred Munnings (Dubawi), and he becomes the 13th Rising Star for his sire. "He was just about ready to start there today, he's a nice horse...

5th-TAM, $55k, Msw, 3yo, 1 1/16mT, post time: 2:49 p.m. ET HUMILITY (Justify) fetched $400,000 as a short yearling at the 2024 Keeneland January Sale and returned for that auction house's September Sale to bring $1 million from the partnership of CHC, Maverick Racing and Siena Racing. A half-brother to a pair of black-type runners, the May 20 foal is out of a half-sister to Negligee (Northern Afleet), champion of her generation in Canada in 2009 and winner of that year's GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes. Peter Brant's Arizona Territory (Tapit)...

UNWRITTEN RULE (c, 3, Justify--Jewish Guilt, by Curlin) was one of the few first-timers in the field in this rained-off sprint debut. Prominent throughout from just off the leader, the 5-2 second choice kept things tight into the turn through an opening quarter in :22.44. Moving between rivals with just over a quarter-mile left to run, Unwritten Rule burst clear of Troubleonthegreen (World of Trouble) to win by two lengths. Glen Hill purchased Jewish Guilt for $425,000 as a yearling from Keeneland September 2019. That mare, a winning daughter of...

Amplify Horse Racing, the national organization connecting youth to the Thoroughbred industry, closed out its 2025 season  of outreach with a busy week in November.

"The RRP's programming focuses on supporting the broad tapestry of individuals and entities that are tied to the Thoroughbred, which is...

Elite Power, the only son of Curlin to receive Eclipse Awards in consecutive season and whose first foals have been very well-received at this year's weanling sales, will stand the 2026 breeding season for a fee of $35,000, live foal stands and nurses, at Juddmonte's Kentucky nursery. Elite Power has covered some 360 mares in his first two years at stud, his first book having included five champions and better than 25 elite-level winners or producers. A colt from the family of GI Preakness Stakes winner Seize the Grey (Arrogate)...

Aqaareb, an 8-year-old mare by Bernardini, brought top price of $260,000 at the conclusion of the Inglis Digital October (Late) Sale on Tuesday. Consigned by Paramount Sales, she went to Imad Al Sagar's Blue Diamond Stud, which has bases in England and the U.S. Her first foal to race is a placed Amjaad (Nyquist), who will race in the Dubai barn of trainer Doug Watson during the upcoming U.A.E. racing season. She also has foals by Street Sense, Good Magic, and Cody's Wish. The mare was offered in-foal to currently...

A bay daughter of Into Mischief (hip 513) sold post-sale for $275,000 to top the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company October Yearling Sale, the company announced Saturday. Initially a $290,000 RNA through the ring during the Oct. 8 session, the filly went Tami Bobo's way from the Glen Hill Farm consignment who also bred her from their mare, MSW/MGSP Compelled (War Front). With the post-sale result, the Into Mischief filly becomes the highest priced horse sold at this year's October Yearling Sale, topping the $240,000 brought by Christophe Nouvellet on behalf...

Yearlings by first-crop stallions continued to be in demand during Wednesday's closing session of the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's October Yearlings Sale as a colt by Jackie's Warrior (hip 482) topped the session at $180,000. Bred and consigned by Glen Hill Farm, the colt was picked up by Elijah and Nelson Arroyo of Arroyo Bloodstock who deemed him on social media to be "our favorite horse of the entire catalog." "Physically, he was one of the most muscular horses that we saw," Elijah said. "He has a really nice presence...

Fabrice Chappet trainee Safia (Sottsass), a debut scorer at ParisLongchamp in October, opened this year with a TDN Rising Star performance at Saint-Cloud in March and bounced back off a fifth in a hot renewal of April's G3 Prix de la Grotte to secure a career high in Sunday's Listed Prix Melisande at ParisLongchamp. Employing waiting tactics in fifth until turning for home, she careered forward to seize control with 300 metres remaining and was ridden out in the closing stages to defeat Ilda Rosa (Lope De Vega) and La...
