Coming off an impressive victory in the GI Alabama S. at Saratoga, Nitrogen (Medaglia d'Oro) will be tested against older horses in her next start. Co-owner Jon Green revealed Tuesday on his Rail Talk podcast that his star 3-year-old filly will go next in the GI Spinster on Oct. 5 at Keeneland. "There are a number of factors that played into our decision," Green told the TDN. "Number one, we wanted to give Nitrogen the proper amount of time. The Alabama took a lot out of her. The competition was...

With five fillies in the 70th running of the Woodbine Oaks, chances were high that it would be a Mark Casse runner to beat them all. The hard part, or so it was thought, would be figuring out which one would step up to win it. No Time (Not This Time) did just that in fine style to take home the hardware carrying the colors of Gary Barber. With only two prior lifetime wins--her maiden score on the grass last September and two back June 1 over the synthetic track...

Fresh off their 4,000th and 2,600th victories, respectively, trainer Mark Casse and D. J. Stable will try to add to those lofty achievements in Sunday's C$500,000 Woodbine Oaks. Casse, who is looking to tie trainer Jim Day as a five-time winner of the nine-furlong contest, has no fewer than five chances, two of which are campaigned by the Green family. Winterberry (Frosted) has won half of her six trips to the post, including last year's seven-furlong Glorious Song Stakes as a short-priced favorite and a latest pillar-to-post success in the...

SARATOGA SPRINGS - The milestone victory came about 530 miles away from Saratoga Race Course, but that wasn't going to stop Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse from celebrating. Casse, 64, won his 4,000th career race when It's Witchcraft (Tapit) won the 11th race at Colonial Downs by a nose in a four-horse photo finish. Casse watched the race and cheered with his wife, Tina, on a television in the clubhouse at Saratoga. He then scrambled to watch the Saratoga sixth race where he saddled 2-year-old filly Charlottesuniverse (Into Mischief),...

Trainer Mark Casse sent three undefeated juveniles into the Victoria Stakes at Woodbine, and Casson (Caravaggio) emerged as the last man standing of that group to keep his perfect record intact by a clear margin. A four-length winner on unveiling May 11 against local maidens, the gray was a 7-2 chance against his stablemates Jupiter (Upstart) and the flashy Rude Procedure (Authentic). The former went off as the 6-5 favorite and the latter was 2-1. In no rush initially, Casson had a head on Valley of Kings (Classic Empire) while...

Some of the most highly anticipated races during the summer season are the 'baby' races during the boutique meetings at Saratoga and Del Mar and at Ellis Park, which attract its fair share of high-priced juveniles from a variety of top national outfits. Summer Breezes, sponsored by OBS Sales, highlights debuting and stakes-entered 2-year-olds at those meetings that have been sourced at the breeze-up sales earlier in the year, including links to their under-tack previews. Here are the horses entered for Sunday at Saratoga and Ellis Park. Sunday, July 13,...

SARATOGA SPRINGS - Early Sunday morning, trainer Tom Morley walked down his shedrow at his barn on the Saratoga backstretch. He stopped in front of a stall occupied by a curious looking dark bay colt named Donegal Momentum (Uncle Mo). Morley snuggled close to the 4-year-old, hugged him, kissed his neck. He has affection for all his horses, but, after what Donegal Momentum went through on Saturday, he deserved an extra dose of tender love and care. During Saturday's one-mile GIII Kelso Stakes on the Inner Turf course, Donegal Momentum...

Taking the vast majority of the pari-mutuel activity with the scratching of his would-be chief market rival Bento Express (Jpn) (Drefong), D J Stable, West Point Thorougbreds and Kenneth Frierich's Ewing (c, 2, Knicks Go--Sassy Ali Joy, by Indian Charlie) made light work of his four remaining rivals, streaking through the final furlong under mild urging to score by a dozen lengths en route to 'TDN Rising Star' honors in the Saturday opener from Saratoga. Favored at 35-100 and carrying the D J colors for the debut, the $585,000 OBS...

Dreams came true in the GIII Penn Mile Stakes Friday evening when Dream On (c, 3, Not This Time-Mamma Kimbo, by Discreet Cat)--winner of Aqueduct's Woodhaven Stakes in April--split horses in late stretch after trailing throughout to capture the first graded victory of his career. Cairo Caper (Cairo Prince), a stakes winner at two who finished seventh in the Woodhaven, got up for second while Out On Bail (Tiz the Law), who has never been off the board in eight career starts, held third after pressuring the frontrunning 3-5 favorite...

OCALA, FL - The Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's June 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, condensed to two days this year, opened with a day of steady trade Tuesday in Central Florida. A colt by Yaupon, consigned by Julie Davies, brought the session's top price when selling for $300,000 to trainer Saffie Joseph, Jr. The session topper was one of six to sell for $200,000 or more on the day, matching the figure from the opening day of last year's three-day auction. "Good solid day," said OBS Director of Sales Tod Wojciechowski....

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.--The sting of missing the GI Kentucky Derby has faded. Ditto for the GI Preakness Stakes. Rodriguez (Authentic) is well rested, healthy and a ready to roll 'TDN Rising Star.' The colt, trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, will make his Triple Crown debut in Saturday's GI $2 million Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course.
