In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This holiday edition is highlighted by the victory of No Pressure in Florida.
Florida Clime The Answer For No Pressure
Lindy Farms' No Pressure (No Nay Never) rolled to a three-quarter length victory stretching out over the Gulfstream turf for Philip Antonacci on Boxing Day (video). The homebred debuted during the Belmont at the Big A meet and ran second by a neck over six furlongs in September.
Baroda Stud consigned No Pressure to the Goffs Orby Yearling Sale, and he caught the eye of Greathorse Racing at €65,000 in October of 2024. Out of Compression (First Defence), the bay is the third foal, runner and winner for his placed dam, whose latest foal is a yearling full-brother to No Pressure. From a deep Juddmonte family that brought you multiple Grade I winner Sightseek (Distant View), etc., No Pressure is also related to stakes winner and G1 Middle Park Stakes second Task Force (Frankel).
Coolmore's No Nay Never, priced at €100,000 in 2026, is responsible for 71 winners from 121 runners in the U.S. (59%). His 11 stakes winners there include four at graded level, with GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine Meditate his star performer.
Repeat Winners
No Show Sammy Jo (Lope De Vega) scampered home to win the Via Borghese Stakes at Gulfstream Park on New Year's Eve (video). Owned by Newstead Stables and trained by Graham Motion, the two-time graded placed mare is also a dual winner of the All Along Stakes.
Klaravich Stables and Chad Brown's Risk Tolerance (Kingman) returned a winner at Tampa Bay on December 26 (video). A winner of an Aqueduct contest in April, the son of Loving Things (Pivotal) was winning for the second time in four starts.
