by Jessica Martini, Christina Bossinakis, & Jill Williams LEXINGTON, KY - The Fasig-Tipton November Sale failed to continue its streak of $100-million plus gross results, but did produce a day of vibrant trade from a diverse international buying bench Monday in Lexington. Twenty-five mares sold for $1 million or more during the auction, matching the figure from 2023. Nine sold for $2 million or more and four sold for $3 million or over, compared to 16 and 10, respectively, a year ago. "It was another tremendous November sale," said Fasig-Tipton...

Spendthrift Farm's General Manager Ned Toffey signed the ticket at $2.8 million to acquire graded winner Denim and Pearls (Into Mischief) (hip 240) on behalf of the farm Monday at Fasig-Tipton. The 3-year-old, consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, sold as a racing or broodmare prospect.

With seven-figure mares coming fast and furious at Fasig-Tipton's Night of the Stars sale Monday night, Surge Capacity (Flintshire {GB}) set the early benchmark when realizing $3.6 million to the bid of Emmanuel de Seroux for Narvick International/Grand Stud.

Surge Capacity is a half-sister to GISW and 'TDN Rising Star' Ways and Means (Practical Joke) and a full-sister to GSW Highly Motivated....

A race after running into a 'TDN Rising Star' at Keeneland, Quantum Burst (Munnings) will now be the running line for many horses after she overwhelmed this maiden field to take home her own TDN Stamp of Approval Saturday evening. Said fellow 'Rising Star' was Winstar Farm's Impulse Buy (Speightstown), who also earned the moniker at second asking at their mutual Keeneland start Oct. 5 at this distance. Once that one got to the lead, she never looked back, beating Quantum Burst by 11 lengths on the line. Swapping barns...

4th-Belmont The Big A, $90,000, Msw, 10-31, 3yo/up, f/m, 7f, 1:22.05, ft, 6 lengths. GRAND JOB (f, 3, Justify--Sure Route {GB} {MSP, $201,163}, by Ishiguru) made her first North American start Thursday and certainly seemed to take to the Aqueduct main track after four prior starts in Ireland on both grass and Tapeta as a juvenile. Off the 13-month layoff and racing with Lasix for the first time, the 5-2 second choice got away quickly and led narrowly inside of No Tricks (Into Mischief). Shaking off that pressure into the...

DEL MAR, CA - With the rising sun attempting to make its way out of a dense cloud cover, contenders for Saturday's $7-million GI Breeders' Cup Classic were out in force during about a 30-minute window following the renovation break at Del Mar Tuesday morning. 'TDN Rising Star' Newgate and Pyrenees, a pair of blaze-faced, 4-year-old sons of the all-conquering Into Mischief, both entered on their toes and filled the frame nicely while training with good energy. Newgate, listed at a very generous 20-1 on the morning-line, adds blinkers for...

In a style not for the faint of heart, Sovereignty ( c, 2, Into Mischief--Crowned, by Bernardini) went last to first, and claimed 10 points on the Road to the 2025 Kentucky Derby via the GIII Street Sense Stakes at Churchill Downs. Debuting Aug. 24 at Saratoga sprinting on the main track, he managed to close from 10th to fourth against a maiden field which yielded 'TDN Rising Star' GISP Tip Top Thomas (Volatile) as well as Rookie Card (Adios Charlie), who broke his maiden Oct. 26 at the Belmont...
