Track And Trace: Fully Subscribed Fires Home To Take Shuvee At The Spa

Saratoga Springs, N.Y. - With every lengthening stride, Fully Subscribed (Tiz the Law--Sweetbaby, by Candy Ride {Arg}) issued a strong statement to the older female route division as the 4-year-old was up in time to take the GII Shuvee Stakes at Saratoga Race Course on Friday afternoon. The OBS April buy for Seth Klarman proved her net worth at first asking in mid-October with a four-length win at Aqueduct in what was her lone start as a juvenile. Employing tracking and tracing tactics throughout her racing career, the ultra-consistent Chad...

Klaravich, Brown Go Back-To Back In United Nations

Twelve months after Klaravich Stables' Redistricting (GB) (Kingman {GB}) helped trainer Chad Brown to tie the legendary MacKenzie Miller on six winners of the GII United Nations Stakes, the same ownership's Program Trading (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) came very wide into the Monmouth stretch and rolled home to give the New York-based conditioner the record outright in deteriorating conditions at the Jersey Shore. Sent off the 9-10 chalk to build on his latest victory in the nine-furlong Monmouth Stakes on June 13, the ridgling was dropped out to the...

Five Fastest Maidens for June 15-21

5) PHANTOM BLUE, BAQ, 6/18-1st, 1 mile (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 82 (2nd) (f, 3, by Ghostzapper-Seeking the Blue, by Arch) O-Resolute Racing. B-Payson Stud (Ky). T-Will Walden. J- Dylan Davis. John Stewart's $1.2 million 2-year-old purchase is still looking for his first victory, but with Beyers of 81, 83 and 82 against quality rivals in his three starts, success is surely around the corner.

Night of Thunder's Portfolio Duration In a 'New York' State of Mind

Having earlier registered his seventh training victory in the GII Wonder Again Stakes courtesy of Fitz Right (Charlatan), Klaravich Stables' lightly raced Portfolio Duration (GB) (f, 4, Night of Thunder {Ire}--Shemya {Fr}, by Dansili {GB}) took command from the opening bell of Friday's GI New York Stakes and never relinquished the lead, just holding off French raider Cankoura (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}) to give Brown his sixth win in the 9 1/2-furlong contest. It was a second graded winner on the card for Klaravich and Brown, who annexed the GII...

Where There's a Will, There's a Way: Ways and Means Re-Rallies Late to Defend Bed O' Roses Crown

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but for the reigning queen of the GII Bed O' Roses Stakes, it proved to be figurative weight she could valiantly bear en route to her title defense. Ways and Means (Practical Joke) looked to be beaten at the head of affairs, but gamely re-rallied in the final yards to nail a wildly unlucky Grand Job (Justify) by a nose in an exciting 2026 running at Saratoga. The Chad Brown trainee has had a very short career the last two seasons--her 2025...

Brown Will Take His (Three) Chances In The Belmont

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.--Flash back to the fall of 2025. By then, trainer Chad Brown had a good idea that the new batch of young horses that had come into his powerhouse barn had promise. Plenty of promise. The future, he thought, was very good indeed. "I knew we had a really good group of dirt colts heading into their 3-year-old year,'' Brown said outside his barn this week on the Oklahoma Training Track. The leader of the pack was a solid looking chestnut named Paladin (Gun Runner), a $1.9 million...

Growth Equity Fine After Peter Pan Win, Belmont Possible

Klaravich Stable's Growth Equity (Nyquist) exited his two-length victory in the GIII Peter Pan Stakes Saturday in fine shape and the June 6 GI Belmont Stakes remains a possible next target for the bay colt. "He looks good so far," trainer Chad Brown said of Growth Equity's status Sunday morning. "That was a nice step forward. I was glad to see him handle two turns. I thought that he ran well. I think the runner-up is a nice horse. So, that was a nice, positive move forward. No immediate plans...

Coast-to-Coast Graded Preview: Belmont Spot on the Line in Peter Pan, Big Field for Senorita

In theory, we're in the lull between Kentucky Derby and Preakness excitement, but the Belmont Big A meeting will host a chance for a spot in New York's marquee event in June as colts assemble Saturday for the GIII Peter Pan Stakes. Chad Brown is no stranger to jumping a talented maiden winner straight into the graded ranks, and that's what he's doing with Growth Equity (Nyquist) for owner Klaravich Stables. The colt kicked off his career last July in Saratoga with a runner-up effort against a field which yielded...

Breeding Digest: Candy As Sweet As Ever

I daresay that plenty of people who invest in bloodstock also like to play "emerging" markets. Both, after all, are notoriously volatile environments, where assets seem to spend at least as much time "submerging." As such we must applaud Klaravich Stables for the naming of the GII Louisiana Derby winner. Strictly they have taken an opportunity overlooked in Wild Empress, the dam of Emerging Market (Candy Ride {Arg}): she was by Empire Maker out of a Seeking the Gold mare named Trappings. And, being at one remove, I guess their...
