Caravaggio's Erdenali A New TDN Rising Star

Following the explosive performance of Erdenali (Caravaggio) at Saint-Cloud on Sunday, the only downside is that the latest sensation to emerge from The Aga Khan Studs is a gelding and therefore unable to contest the Classics. Sent off the 2-1 favourite for the card's opening Prix Kashmir over a mile, the grandson of the high-class Ervedya (Siyouni) cruised from the back to the front two out under a near-motionless Mickael Barzalona, who had made the voyage back from Dubai where he had steered the operation's gelding supreme Calandagan only hours before....

Wertheimer Colt Wiki Shades Informative Heat At Saint-Cloud

Thursday's Prix Suave Dancer at Saint-Cloud featured some exciting newcomers from the leading operations and it was the two Wertheimer colts who came to the fore with Wiki (Make Believe) emerging on top.

'He's A Very Special Horse': O'Brien Has G1 Number 25 As Pierre Bonnard Dominates

This particular October weekend is so important when it comes to next year's Classics and Aidan O'Brien has simply dominated it in 2025 with Pierre Bonnard (Camelot) bringing up a Sunday Group 1 double at Saint-Cloud and a third overall following the previous day's action at Doncaster. Sent off the 7-10 favourite for the 10-furlong Criterium de Saint-Cloud, the impressive Zetland winner travelled easily for Christophe Soumillon tracking the early pace and when sent on inside the two opened up to score with authority by two lengths from the Donnacha...
