Kentucky Oaks hopeful and 'TDN Rising Star' Quietside (Malibu Moon), winner of the GII Fantasy Stakes at Oaklawn, and the Kentucky Derby-bound Grande (Curlin), runner-up in the GII Wood Memorial Stakes at the Big A, worked at Keeneland on Friday. Quietside was clocked in :48.20 for a half-mile with her Oaks jockey, Jose Ortiz, in the saddle. "Jose and I had a plan to give her just a half-mile and easy gallop out just to keep her on her toes from here on out," trainer John Ortiz said. "She worked...

8th-Keeneland, $120,000, Alw, 4-24, (NW2L), 3yo, 6f, 1:11.19, ft, 2 3/4 lengths. ANCIENT WORLD (g, 3, Into Mischief--Thirteen Arrows {MSW, $277,375}, by Indian Charlie) used a well-timed move down the lane at Fair Grounds Mar. 13, which put him across the wire and into the winner's circle at first asking. Ready to clear an allowance condition before the conclusion of the Keeneland meet and once again serving as the even-money favorite here, the gelding was not the swiftest out of the blocks. However, chase mode suited the 3-year-old up the...

2nd-Keeneland, $90k, MSW, 2yo, f, 4 1/2f, post time: 1:32 p.m. Repole Stable's homebred Nonna's Love (Caravaggio) makes her first trip to the post for trainer Todd Pletcher.

6th-Gulfstream, $44,770, Msw, 4-19, 3yo, 1m, 1:38.45, ft, 9 3/4 lengths. VIBE (c, 3, Into Mischief--Nonna Mia {GISP, $127,150}, by Empire Maker) ran a disappointing and money-burning fourth on career debut over six furlongs of this main track Mar. 15. With the addition of blinkers here, the colt stretched out to the one-turn mile and put it all together en route to an easy victory at Gulfstream on Saturday afternoon. Away without incident, the 3-2 favorite took up a stalking position behind pacesetting Mahovlich (McKinzie). The leader posted an opening...

8th-Fair Grounds, $52,000, Msw, 3-13, 3yo, 6f, 1:10.20, ft, 1 length. ANCIENT WORLD (g, 3, Into Mischief--Thirteen Arrows {MSW, $277,375}, by Indian Charlie) had a pair of bullets on his worktab, including a flashy, four-furlong move from the gate in :46 4/5 (1/113) Feb. 9, and was off as the even-money favorite in this debut run. He missed the break beneath Jose Ortiz and trailed the field of eight as Sargent Sully (Instagrand), a well-beaten fifth on debut in New Orleans Jan. 20, flew through an opening quarter in :21.63....

Spendthrift Farm and Repole Stable's Accelerize (c, 3, Omaha Beach--Motion Emotion, by Take Charge Indy) romped by daylight at first asking for 'TDN Rising Star' honors on Saturday's Tampa Bay Derby undercard. Off at odds of 7-2, the $400,000 KEESEP yearling hit the ground running beneath Irad Ortiz, Jr. and cleared the field from his wide draw in post 12. He showed the way through fractions of :21.87 and :45.03 and blasted off at the top of the stretch to win going away by 7 3/4 lengths over favored Moment's...

The first mare bred to 2023 GI Jockey Club Gold Cup winner Bright Future (Curlin--Sophia's Song, by Bellamy Road) has checked in foal, Claiborne Farm announced Monday. The mare, My Way (Unbridled's Song), is the dam of nine winners from 10 to race, and is a half-sister to graded winners Academy Award (Secretariat), Good Mood (Devil's Bag), and Statuette (Pancho Villa).

11th-Gulfstream, $70,840, Msw, 3-2, 3yo, 1 1/8mT, 1:47.55, fm, neck. BULLDOZE (c, 3, Nyquist--Riley's Choice {SW, $172,838}, by Distorted Humor), fourth going a furlong shorter in his Jan. 25 unveiling, was sent off the 3-2 favorite in this second outing. The chestnut colt angled to the rail and settled well off the pace. He inched closer down the backstretch and, shadowing the move of Fateful Lightning (Tapit), tipped to the center of course at the top of the lane. That first-time starter surged to the lead with a sixteenth to...

After starting his career with two daylight wins at Gulfstream Park and Churchill Downs last year on GI Florida Derby Day and GI Kentucky Derby Day, respectively, 'TDN Rising Star' Mindframe (Constitution) nearly pulled off victory in the GI Belmont Stakes in only his third career start, finishing just a half-length behind Dornoch (Good Magic), and then finishing second to that same rival in the GI Haskell Stakes. Sent to the sidelines with bone bruising after those four scintillating starts, the Repole Stable and St. Elias Stables runner made his...

1st-Aqueduct, $77,600, Msw, 2-27, 3yo, f, 1m, 1:39.84, ft, 15 3/4 lengths. VANILLA SUNDAE (f, 3, Gun Runner--Vanilla Bean Back, by Empire Maker) finished sixth as the third wagering choice in her career debut sprinting six panels at the Spa last August before catching another off track in her next start--a mile test at the Big A Nov. 21--and faded late to finish a well-beaten fourth. Finally catching a fast track this time, the even-money second choice sprinted to the front, carving out a modest :24.18 quarter mile. Still on...

7th-GP, $94k, Msw, 3yo, 1 1/16m, 3:21p.m. ET A $500,000 KEESEP purchase by Repole Stables in 2023, ADVENTURIST (Curlin) goes to post here for Todd Pletcher with Irad Ortiz Jr. in the irons. Out of GIII Comely Stakes victress Touching Beauty (Tapit), the chestnut is a half-brother to GISP Just a Touch (Justify) and SP Corps of Discovery (Unbridled's Song). His dam is herself a half-sister to GSP Tritap (Tapit) as well as SW Noisy Feet (Tapit), in turn the mother of SW What Say Thee (Sea The Stars {Ire})....

Hallandale, FL--The initial idea behind the GI Pegasus World Cup was rooted in the notion that Gulfstream Park's marquee race for older horses should attract the nation's top competitors to run for a lot of money before launching a championship racing season or heading off to the breeding shed. Of course, there was more nuance behind the earliest concept of the race, not to mention that others Pegasus Day events have been added since the initial renewal was run in 2017. However, the basic framework seemed to lend itself to...
